Chapter 68 – That Woman, That Princess (1/2)
Lin Xiao’s holiday life has never been so fulfilling.
In the past few days, he and Elena read books in the library during the day and went home late at night. They would then return after eating the next day, how diligent.
Of course, Lin Xiao was not completely isolated from the world during these past couple of days. Since the end of the actual combat drill, the young lady of the Childe family, Rosie, changed her attitude towards him drastically.
Although Rosie still has a nasty tongue when they meet, Rosie was secretly concerned about him.
The best example was Rosie’s servant Afu, who would often go out to collect secret and confidential information, whenever it was related to Loran Academy or Lin Xiao, he would take the initiative to inform Lin Xiao as well.
For example, the news that the hero, Greenton met with the principal in private was news that Afu told him.
Thanks to Afu, Lin Xiao’s gossipy heart was fully satisfied.
…
That day at noon, Lin Xiao, who was absorbed in his book, was finally roused by the pain of his hungry stomach.
“I’m hungry.” Lin Xiao put down the book and stretched. “Elena, shall we go eat something?”
“Okay.” Elena nodded and agreed.
The two walked side by side on the empty campus. Since it was still a holiday, there were no students on campus.
Silence was not Lin Xiao’s style, so he randomly found a topic.
“Right, Elena, I heard from Afu yesterday, a transfer student is coming to our magic department. Reportedly, it’s…it’s…”
“The princess of the Great Qin Empire.” Elena found an appropriate time to cut in.
“Yes, the princess! She seems to be called, Ying something…”
“The surname is ShenDai, her name is Ying, ShengDai Ying.” Elena continued to answer.
“Yes, her! I forgot where I heard about her…”
“You, are curious about her?” asked Elena.
“Of course. Since she’s the princess of the Great Qin Empire, then she should belong to the Eastern Tribe, which means she must know about stuff related to the Eastern Tribe. When I have time, I have to ask her some questions.” Lin Xiao answered.
“But you’re from the Eastern Tribe, why do you need to ask her?” Elena asked puzzledly.
“Oh… no, no, no, I’m a fake Eastern Tribe, I just look like them. Elena, did you forget? I’m a transmigrator.”
“…So what exactly is a transmigrator?”
“That is, people who don’t belong to this world.” Lin Xiao thought about his wording.
After coming to Eileen, Lin Xiao has never talked about his past on Earth to anyone. Only one person knows all his secrets, that person is Snow.
Only in front of the little girl named Snow, Lin Xiao was willing to reveal his true feelings. Other than Snow, he had no one else that he fully trusted. Other than Snow, no one else knows about the fact that he’s a transmigrator.
If possible, Lin Xiao hoped that Elena would become the second person.
Just as he was brewing it over and preparing to explain, Elena suddenly held her mouth in surprise, stepped back and pulled away from Lin Xiao.
“What? Doesn’t belong to this world?” Elena’s voice began to tremble. “Are you saying that you are the messenger of the goddess of light? An angel?”
“The messenger? Angel? Elena, where did you hear about these strange words?” Lin Xiao was confused.
“I read it in the book just now! The book was very detailed, I feel like that author is amazing, she may be a certain god!”
“The author is a god?”
Did Elena inadvertently find some scary banned book in the ancient texts area?
This can be troublesome!
“It’s this book…because it was so interesting, I just brought it out!” saying that, Elena quickly handed over a very tattered book.
“So interesting?” Lin Xiao’s became even more curious.
Something that was deemed as interesting by the Demon King, what kind of banned book could it be?
Carefully taking over the book, Lin Xiao noticed that the title of the book was actually written in a language even more ancient than the ancient language, let alone understand it, he has never even seen it before.
Carefully turning over the first page of the book, Lin Xiao finally found words he could understand.
It was a small line of ancient words, translated into the common language, it would be, Author: Half a Basket of Peaches.
“Peh!”
Without a moment of hesitation, Lin Xiao forcefully tore the book to shreds.
“Hey, what are you doing?…”
Not waiting for Elena to exclaim, Lin Xiao did something else even more surprising.
He threw the confetti in his hand in the air and followed it with a snap.
BANG!
The fireball burned all the scraps into ashes in an instant.
“Garbage author, garbage book.” Lin Xiao’s face was ashen, and his tone was gloomy. “Elena, listen to me, you shouldn’t read those kinds of books…”
After saying that strange sentence, Lin Xiao walked off by himself.
