Chapter 997: Don’t Worry, I’m Here
Lin Yuan had not sensed that anything was wrong when Tian Ningning walked out to order food.
He knew Tian Ningning well enough to know that she would try to use her money to pay for the meal instead.
But as he continued to drink the fish soup and five minutes passed, Lin Yuan sensed that something was off.
No matter what Tian Ningning had gone out to do, five minutes should be more than enough to return to the room.
Nonetheless, he had not left the room and assumed that she had gone to the bathroom.
He did not think that anything could happen in a place like the Spirit Food Pavilion.
It was only when he heard the shattering noises that he frowned and carried Genius out of the room to head to the counter.
But even before rising to his feet, he heard a cry of anguish.
Lin Yuan’s expression immediately darkened as he could tell that Tian Ningning had been hurt.
He pushed open the door of the room and walked through an elegant corridor to see Tian Ningning, whose clothes had been torn to shreds.
Although spring was coming, Tian Ningning had never been in the pink of health and still wore a woolen jacket.
But now, the camel-colored woolen jacket had been stained with blood.
Tian Ningning stood with her fists tightly clenched, and she was shaking like a leaf. Many parts of the camel-colored woolen jacket had been scorched black.
Lin Yuan had heard what the manager said, and it was clear that the person the manager was referring to who had started the fight was Tian Ningning.
Lin Yuan took a deep breath and walked up with a cold expression.
Tian Ningning immediately turned toward the sound of approaching footsteps.
When she saw Lin Yuan, her pain and anger morphed into guilt.
All she had done was walk out to order more dishes, yet she had ended up starting trouble.
Now that Lin Yuan had also walked out of the Depending on Plums Room, he was also dragged into the problem.
Since she was a Star Web reporter, she knew all the main members of major factions well.
Tian Ningning did not know much about Cai Qing, who was the main member of a veteran faction, but she did know Miao He from Connected Beast Park and Zheng Kaiyuan, the Second Young Master of the Zheng family.
Tian Ningning did not expect the person who had attacked her to be connected to Connected Beast Park.
Over the last few days, Black had been targeted by the young disciples of veteran and top factions.
Although Lin Yuan and Black were the same person, he was about to clash with the young disciples of veteran and top factions because of her.
Lin Yuan waved his hand and used the Jasmine Lily’s Heal on Tian Ningning.
A fountain of vitality flowed into Tian Ningning and quickly healed all her injuries.
As the pure vitality flowed through Tian Ningning, Lin Yuan discovered how serious her injuries were.
The skin on Tian Ningning’s hand and body had been injured and burned, while some of the burn injuries also extended into cut wounds.
Lin Yuan could not imagine the amount of pain she had experienced.
The Blunt Wind Untamed Wolf was blocked by the wall of earth-type energy that Da Wu’s fey had produced.
But since Cai Qing had not ordered it to stop, the bloodthirsty Blunt Wind Untamed Wolf continued to attack the Crystal Horn Brave Deer.
Just as the Blunt Wind Untamed Wolf lunged at the Crystal Horn Brave Deer with its mouth open, Lin Yuan used Spirit Essence Explosion and launched a punch at the Blunt Wind Untamed Wolf.
The Blunt Wind Untamed Wolf crashed against the wall with a thunderous bang, breaking an expensive embroidered art piece that was hanging on the wall.
The Blunt Wind Untamed Wolf fell to the ground along with the torn art piece.
It looked extremely strange, as though its body was filled with water. It writhed several times on the ground.
Lin Yuan had not held back in his attack at all, unleashing the full power of a Platinum I/Legend fey on the Blunt Wind Untamed Wolf.
Everything under the Blunt Wind Untamed Wolf turned into slush.
At that moment, another howl of pain pierced the air.
Cai Qing squatted on the ground with her head in her hands. Her face was as pale as a sheet.
The Blunt Wind Untamed Wolf was her main fey, and its death had greatly damaged her spiritual energy.
Manager Cai’s expression was solemn. He was very upset about his niece’s actions, but that did not mean that he would stand by and watch as someone killed his niece’s fey.
The two waiters that Manager Cai had called had not appeared yet.
The people who worked in the Spirit Food Pavilion were experienced, and they were unwilling to participate in actions clearly meant to bully others.
The two waiters would rather stand motionless and watch the situation unfold.
The death of a customer’s main fey was completely out of the hands of a normal waiter.
Manager Cai looked Lin Yuan up and down and said, “You have to pay an eye for an eye for daring to kill someone’s fey in the Spirit Food Pavilion.”
Lin Yuan ignored what Manager Cai said and disregarded the disciples of rising and veteran factions and Miao He as well.
He murmured toward Tian Ningning, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
Tian Ningning, who had been staying strong until then, immediately started to cry.
