Chapter 145: A New Cooperation (1)
After opening her eyes, Jin Ling’er sat up with much difficulty. She felt a dull pain on her nose and carefully felt with her hand if everything was in place. When she looked her hand, it was dyed red with blood.
That bastard! He punched me in the nose! How dare he do something so vile to a tender, young girl like me!
Her heart was filled with rage. She scanned her surroundings for him, but when she saw Su Chen her countenance changed. He walked over to her in an imposing matter, causing her to understand the situation she was in. She hid her jade tablet behind her hands and screamed, “I can give you the points. Just don’t shatter my jade tablet!”
Su Chen stopped, then aimed the long blade in his hand at Jin Ling’er. “Now you’re trying to negotiate with me? What were you doing before?”
A trace of rage flashed across Jin Ling’er’s eyes. “If it weren’t for the fact that you used despicable, underhanded means, do you think I’d be afraid of you?”
Su Chen shook his head. “You truly are the young miss of a noble clan. You don’t even know how to beg for mercy.”
He slammed the blunt end of the blade into Jin Ling’er’s back, sending her into the ground.
“YOU!” Jin Ling’er was infuriated. Today was the first day in her life someone dared to treat her in such a way.
Su Chen grabbed her by the throat, pointed at Pan Yue’s corpse, and said, “You’d best be clear about the situation you’re in. You’ll realize having your jade tablet shattered is not the scariest thing that can happen to you.”
Jin Ling’er’s heart trembled when she saw the corpse. “Y-you killed him?”
“You and I together did,” Su Chen corrected. “That Erupting Firebird was originally meant for you. But it isn’t important who killed who. What is important, is that right now, I have already offended a Bloodline Nobility Clan. I don’t care to offend another one. Are we clear?”
Jin Ling’er anger quickly turned into shock. Her heart trembled when she saw the cold mask and expressionless eyes. All she felt in this moment was terror.
The pain in her nose rose up again, the last straw to break the camel’s back, as she burst into tears.
Watching the tears run down the young girl’s cheeks, Su Chen was dazed.
He never expected for Jin Ling’er, the Bewitching Butterfly, one of the most powerful seedlings in this exam, would have such a weak side to her.
She was the very picture of a weeping beauty, softening the hearts of all who saw it. No trace of her might could be found right now.
Even Su Chen was somewhat uncomfortable. His heart, usually as hard as steel, softened.
He gently coughed and said, “Okay, don’t cry, I didn’t say I would kill you.”
His words seemed to have no effect. The tears still rolling down Jin Ling’er’s cheeks without end. Eventually she managed to ask, “Y-you won’t shatter my jade tablet? I can stay here?”
“If you promise not to bother me ever again,” Su Chen replied.
“How would I even bother you?” Jin Ling’er burbled. “It took me forever just to control someone from a Bloodline Nobility Clan, but he ran away because of you. That guy won’t let me get close to him again. Where will I find another weak-willed individual who’s that strong?”
“But you will definitely find one, right?” Su Chen laughed. “That is, if you’re not too picky with your food.”
Jin Ling’er rolled her eyes at him. “Alright, I swear on my Jin Clan’s bloodline I won’t bother you for the rest of the exam if you don’t shatter my jade tablet. In fact, I won’t ever bother you again, not even after the exam is over!”
“See? That wasn’t too hard, was it?” Su Chen retrieved his blade, then took away the points from Jin Ling’er’s jade tablet.
Jin Ling’er had a large number of points. Su Chen instantly earned a hundred sixty two points, giving him some pause as well. “That many?”
Jin Ling’er pouted. “If I had more, you would’ve just taken them anyways. Now it’s all ruined. Losing all those points, I definitely can’t enter the top 10 now.”
She looked like she was about to break down in tears yet again.
