Chapter 37.2 - ALIC Chapter 37.2
Lin Ziran felt that this scallion pancake was really fragrant. As expected, the shops with snaking queues generally tasted good. He looked up and found that Xuan Yan was chewing slowly, his face seriously… as if he hadn’t eaten something like that before.
Was it necessary?
He seemed to have seen an illusion of a god being forced to eat mortal food… This must be his illusion!
Yes, it must be an illusion.
How could he dislike such a delicious thing? He must have had it too hard in normal times and had never eaten such delicious scallion pancakes before, so he seemed to be cautious. That was also very possible! He recalled how miserable Li Ye was, when all three steamed buns were treated as treasures…
Lin Ziran felt pity for him immediately.
He waited patiently for Xuan Yan to finish eating, then raised the corners of his mouth, showing a smile. “How is it? It tastes good, right?”
Xuan Yan looked down at the young man. There was a warm and brilliant smile on the handsome face of the young man. His dark eyes were shining, and he seemed to look forward to an affirmative answer. For some reason, Xuan Yan felt that the pancake in his hand at this moment was no longer as greasy and hard to swallow as before. There was a slight smile on his lips that he hadn’t even noticed, and he said dumbly: “Yes.”
Lin Ziran was very happy. Sure enough, he really liked it!
He patted his clothes and stood up, his eyes moving. He hasn’t found a chance to show off his skills after being out for so long today. It seems he is going to return without success.
Forget it, he should go home first.
Lin Ziran thought as he walked. Should he start with the Han family?
Anyway, the Han family’s taking Ye Liuyin’s side was definitely not a good thing, but is it a bit too much to always catch the same sheep for wool…
[t/n: meaning to always go after the same person]
Because of his absent-mindedness, Lin Zi was suddenly smacked head-on by a person!
He raised his head in astonishment, and saw a crying woman kneeling in front of him, holding onto his legs tightly with her hands, crying: “Young man, help me!”
Lin Ziran:?
Lin Ziran: !!!
Lin Ziran looked at the woman, his eyes suddenly shone with excitement. This is the opportunity he was waiting for!
The design of this game is really sweet!
But he couldn’t be too explicit…
Lin Ziran quickly stabilized his emotions, and showed a cold look. He kicked the woman holding him, his eyes full of disdain and disgust.
The woman’s face was pale and she couldn’t help revealing a look of despair. Seeing that the chasing soldiers were about to come, she gritted her teeth and hid behind Lin Ziran!
She has no way to go!
But this time Lin Ziran did not drive her away.
He allowed the woman to hide behind him. Narrowing his eyes, he looked lazily and wantonly at the ferocious chasers chasing in front of him. Not only was he not afraid, but his thoughts drifted away and remembered how he was caught by Mu Yan when he first entered the game. The memories of jumping into the river hurriedly with his lackeys…well, these cannon fodder are even more unpleasant.
What a disgusting group of people.
The man who took the lead was full of vitality. He wanted to come forward and arrest her, but when he saw that Lin Ziran had an extraordinary temperament, he was afraid things would become annoying. He hesitated and said: “This woman was sold to us by her father. Asking this sir to return her.”
The woman grabbed Lin Ziran’s clothes and couldn’t help shaking her head, tears streaming down her face: “Please don’t hand me over…”
With such a disturbance on the street, the onlookers also gathered, and their whispering voices fell into Lin Ziran’s ears.
“This girl is also unlucky, she lives next door but how could she fall into the hands of this group of people?”
“Don’t these gambling shops often play such games? They coax those honest people in, let their family win a little bit, before making them lose money. Many people sell their children to pay off their debts!”
“Isn’t that right.”
“If you fall into their hands, you’ll surely lose a layer of skin if you’re not already dead. And, not only do they sell, but they also snatch them, think of how many girls have been brutally murdered.”
“But so what? No one dares to interfere. It is said that they are backed by the Han family…”
“Shhh, how can you talk about such nonsense?”
Lin Ziran quickly understood the old-fashioned plot and story. Under normal circumstances, after the hero saves the girl, it is time for her to promise herself to him. He doesn’t need the girl’s promise, but it’s the perfect opportunity to carry out the plot.
Especially when there are so many onlookers, a good publicity effect can definitely be obtained.
Perfect!
Lin Ziran took a step forward, his eyes cold and his aura shar[.
Get out of the way, I’m going to pretend to be forced!
The man was frightened by Lin Ziran’s aura. He didn’t know why his scalp was numb, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. But he then recalled that this was Suwang City and the Han family was the master here. How many foreigners would dare to run wild here? They don’t even look at their own worth and become over confidently drunk on a little bit of power.
His face suddenly became cold, and he grimly said to Lin Ziran, “Why, are you going to interfere?”
Lin Ziran smiled slightly, “That’s right.”
Cannon fodder that is not pleasing to the eye, he would simply kill.
The man felt uncomfortable and was about to move out of the title of the Han family to pressure him when he saw the handsome young man in front of him raise his right hand, and then he felt as if he had been hollowed out. His body was light and fluttering, then he lost consciousness in a trance.
What happened?
The man felt almost nothing, let alone fear.
But what everyone around saw was a terrifying scene.
The handsome young man in black just slightly raised his right hand, and the dozen or so men fell silently. Their sturdy bodies quickly shrivelled, leaving only a pile of skinned skeletons. .
It was like a purgatory on earth.
Lin Ziran closed his palms slightly, the corners of his eyes raised slightly, and when he looked sideways, he saw that everyone around him was silently looking at him, the faces of those faces were filled with fear…
A few seconds later.
“D-Demon cultivator. It’s a demon cultivator!”
No one knows where the first scream came from but everyone seemed to have their start button pressed and they struggled to escape. It didn’t even matter if they stomped on others, it was as if Lin Ziran was a man-eating demon…
Lin Ziran looked back angrily, it was really boring to scare them so easily.
He looked back at the woman on the ground, ready to reach out and pull her up, but just as he reached out, the woman looked at him with terrified eyes and screamed: “Don’t touch me!”
After she shouted, she collapsed on the ground and shivered, her face pale, and she couldn’t get up with her soft legs…
She thought she was escaping from a desperate situation, but who knew she would fall into the hands of a demon cultivator? Was he saving her because he wanted to make her into a furnace?
Thinking of this, the woman grew even more desperate, trembling all over. It is better to fall into the hands of those people…
Lin Ziran touched his nose. He thought he was quite handsome just now. Although he was mentally prepared for those people’s reactions, he was still a bit disappointed by the result…
Forget it, presumably the news that there is a demon cultivator in Suwang City will spread soon.
The task was completed perfectly, and Lin Ziran didn’t bother to pay attention to the woman. He called his lackey and headed home.
………………
Xuan Yan followed Lin Ziran back to the other courtyard.
Seeing Lin Ziran’s expression calm and ready to return to his residence with a lazy appearance, he finally couldn’t help but softly said, “Aren’t you sad?”
Obviously you helped others, but no one appreciated you.
Instead, they hate you, misunderstand you, betray you…
Even though having the blood of the heavenly devil wasn’t your choice.
You did nothing wrong.
Lin Ziran showed a look of surprise. He didn’t expect that this lackey had such a delicate mind and would worry about himself. He thought this stuffy gourd would not take the initiative to speak!
Lin Ziran shrugged and said indifferently: “I didn’t save her because I wanted her to be grateful to me.”
After he finished speaking, he felt that something was not quite right. He said it as if he was a good person. Would this lackey lose respect for him? He quickly added a gloomy sentence: “I just wanted to kill someone and my hands were itchy.”
He yawned and went back.
Xuan Yan stood there, watching the young man’s back disappear. After a long time, he lowered his eyes and let out a low laugh.
………………
Lin Ziran lived happily every day, either staying at home to sleep in, or taking his lackey to the streets to eat and drink. Many people in Suwang City already knew about the existence of his demon cultivator, and they would avoid him all the way. The immediate consequence is that Lin Ziran was not charged for eating and drinking, causing him to have money but nowhere to spend…
It actually feels good to be a bully.
However, according to this progress, his information should have spread to the Holy Palace. He guessed that there will soon be a Holy Palace disciple to destroy him, right?
Then. Muyang should be coming soon too.
Lin Ziran got up that morning. His lackey had already prepared washing water and clothes for him. After he washed his face, he helped him change clothes. Recently, he has become more and more able adept at serving others.
Xuanyan helped Lin Ziran put on his coat, glanced lightly across the youth’s side face, lowered his eyes to help him tie his belt, and finally hung the jade pendant on Lin Ziran’s waist.
Lin Ziran has been carrying this jade pendant every day.
Xuan Yan’s fingertips touched the jade pendant lightly, a complex expression appeared in his eyes…
After a long time, he looked up and asked Lin Ziran: “You have always carried this jade pendant…Do you like it very much?”
T/n: Yeah I’ve been busy. Happy lunar new year (soon)!!!!!
