Chapter 319 – Resentful Wife (1/2)

A certain inn

Lin Tian was lying on the bed holding the hard bread that his sister left before leaving. He gnawed on it while letting his imagination run wild.

The day was almost over and his sister still wasn’t back yet, did something happen?

They said they were just going out for a bit, why is it taking so long? Could it be that pervert Lin Xiao was really up to no good and did something unforgivable to his sister?

While he was thinking, he suddenly felt his bed shake.

“What the?”

He jumped and thought there was someone underneath the bed, but he didn’t find anything strange after looking around. It turned out that it wasn’t the bed shaking but the ground shook the entire hotel.

“An earthquake? It can’t be.”

Even if it was an earthquake, it wouldn’t be over just after one tremor.

Very quickly, there was a loud commotion coming from outside the door as people ran out of their rooms. Lin Tian felt that something big definitely happened so he endured the pain and climbed out of bed. He used crutches to support himself to the door and wanted to ask about what happened, but before he could, the people outside already started talking amongst themselves.

“Hey, did you feel that?”

“Yeah, that definitely wasn’t an earthquake… I heard a magician say that it was an explosion from eighth-level magic!”

“What? Eighth-level magic? Why is there someone casting eighth-level magic outside of Winterless City? Was it a teacher from Loran Academy?”

“I don’t know, but grand magician Woos has never casted eighth-level magic again after his injury, and no one else has that temperament, so I don’t think it was them…”

“If it wasn’t them, then could it be… an enemy?”

Everyone was in a panic as they discussed the possibilities and ended up thinking that it was an enemy attack and they were going to invade the city.

However, their fears didn’t last long, the intense tremor only happened once and the kingdom soldiers already left to investigate, so everyone went back to doing their own things.

“Eighth-level magic?”

Lin Tian was leaning against the wall and silently listening from start to finish, although he didn’t know what happened, he started to worry.

From what he remembers, his sister and Lin Xiao went to the south forest outside Winterless City and from what he heard, that magic power also came from the south… could something actually have happened to his sister?

After thinking about that, Lin Tian couldn’t suppress his worries and stay still any longer.

“I have to go take a look!”

Lin Tian endured the pain as he limped towards the street, but before he could leave the main entrance, he suddenly noticed someone walking right towards him.

“Ah!”

He watched as he was about to fall onto the other person, but he ended up seeing a red shadow and then a strange clanging sound that followed.

It seems the other person was wearing red high-heels as they instantly kicked his crutches straight.

Before Lin Tian could react, they drew a sword from the waist and pressed the hilt against his chest.

The crutches supported him from under his arms and the sword supported his chest, the three points formed a perfect balance and Lin Tian was like a roast pig that was hung and he couldn’t move even if he wanted to.

It was an accident and yet he was treated so roughly.

If it was as usual, Lin Tian would have already started to curse, but right now he wasn’t angry at all.

“Do you want to die?”

A beautiful girl was holding the sword wearing a pair of red high-heels. She squinted her eyes coldly at Lin Tian, as if one wrong word would be enough for her to unsheathe her sword and cut him down.

“No, no, it wasn’t on purpose! I just fell by accident!”

Lin Tian gestured with the board tied to his knees and looked at the bandages on his upper body to show that he didn’t have any malicious intentions and that he was just injured.

“Oh, just an accident, I thought… sigh.”

She stopped and finally realized that he was injured and didn’t have any hostility. So she also dropped her vigilance and removed her sword apologetically while helping him stand up straight.

“Um… aren’t you… princess ShenDai Ying?”

“… hm? You know me?”

ShenDai Ying stopped again and carefully looked him up and down.

This youth also had black hair and black eyes, he looked similar to the man that made her feel at ease but much younger and immature. His eyes were filled with youthful vitality and looked like that person’s little brother.

“You’re… Lin Tian?”
