NOVEL NEXT Chapter 22
Who would refuse a rich woman’s money?
Lin Yuan was not surprised by the choice made by Ji Ling. The trip to the outside world ended with the guard dying cleanly, and she herself almost became the Tiger Demon’s food. She was probably in a state of constant alertness.
Under these circumstances,
The lifesaver Lin Yuan, who brought her back from Black Mountain alive, undoubtedly became the most trustworthy person in her heart.
Ji Ling also breathed out a sigh of relief.
Only when it came to money, could she feel a few more human qualities in the young man in front of her.
Without the horrifying ferocity and cruelty when killing.
“When should we go to your house?”
Ji Ling lazily stretched her body, with branches hanging large fruits, attracting many passersby’s frequent glances.
First encountering Evil Ghosts, Corpse Demons, and a Mountain Lord.
Then experiencing the death of the guard, Lingsheng Sect’s Demon Hunter descended deity.
Although she was just a bystander throughout the process, she also felt a kind of exhaustion that was hard to describe, now she just wanted to lie down, sleep well, and relax her tense nerves.
“Wait a minute.”
Lin Yuan suddenly walked into a nearby shop, soon came out carrying five roast chickens, “Let’s go.”
“How many people are in your family?”
Ji Ling felt a little nervous for unknown reasons.
“Not many.”
Lin Yuan replied calmly.
After a while, he also bought two boxes of peach blossom pastries, several side dishes, a pot of clear liquor, and then headed home.
Shortly after that,
He arrived at the entrance of a small courtyard.
“Is this your home?”
Ji Ling blinked her eyes.
Observing the somewhat old fenced courtyard, the faded blue stone houses, the speculations that had appeared in her mind became clearer.
“Creak”
Lin Yuan pushed the courtyard gate open gently.
Just as he was about to walk in, his steps suddenly halted, his gaze deepened.
“What’s wrong?”
Ji Ling asked curiously.
“Who!?”
At the same time, a slightly tense and delicate voice came from the tightly closed house.
“It’s me.”
“Older Brother?”
The room fell silent for a moment, then the door opened.
Lin Xianyu poked her head out from inside, and when she saw Lin Yuan, a happy smile appeared on her little face. She casually closed the door behind her: “Older Brother, you’re back! I’ve been listening to you, stayed in the house and didn’t go out!”
“Oh, why did you buy so many things? Will it cost a lot of money?”
“It’s okay, someone else is paying.” Lin Yuan said with a smile.
Ji Ling rolled her eyes.
It was only at this moment.
Lin Xianyu noticed Ji Ling behind him and was at a loss for a moment, blinking her bright big eyes: “Older Brother, who is this lady…?”
“Hello, little sister!” Ji Ling stepped forward, waved her hand with a smile, “I’m Ji Ling, Lin Yuan’s… um, Lin Yuan’s…”
Lin Yuan said, “Outsider we met on Black Mountain, got lost, wants to stay in our house for a few days.”
“Oh!”
Lin Xianyu looked Ji Ling up and down, sweetly smiled, “Ji Sister, you’re so beautiful, you look like the heroines in storytellers’ tales of punishing evil.”
No woman can resist others complimenting their appearance, especially from a naive and cute little girl.
Ji Ling immediately smiled, “Little sister, you have such a sweet mouth. Oh, it’s our first meeting, I didn’t prepare any gifts, Lin Yuan didn’t tell me he had such a lovely and sensible little sister… oh, here, this is for you!”
Suddenly, she remembered something and took off a jade pendant that had been hanging from her waist.
Carved on it was a divine bird whose name she didn’t know, lifelike and exquisite, obviously of considerable value.
“Ji Sister, this is too precious, I can’t accept it!” Lin Xianyu refused with a furrowed brow.
Although she didn’t understand, she could tell that Ji Ling had an unusual background.
Just the confidence and arrogance displayed in her every move and gesture was something that ordinary children of average families wouldn’t possess.
“Just a small token of affection, don’t refuse.” Ji Ling insisted, forcefully stuffing the jade pendant into Lin Xianyu’s hand.
“Brother…” Lin Xianyu looked to Lin Yuan for help.
“She gave it to you, so just take it.” Lin Yuan glanced at the jade pendant and casually said, “Alright, let’s go inside and talk.”
“Alright then, thank you, Ji Sister!”
Seeing how Brother reacted, Lin Xianyu carefully took the jade pendant and stored it away, “Brother, you go inside with Ji Sister first, I’ll go boil water and make tea for you.”
“Okay, go ahead.” Lin Yuan nodded with a smile.
After Lin Xianyu hurried into the kitchen to boil water, the smile on his face faded.
His gaze fell on the messy footprints in the courtyard, and his eyes narrowed.
Most of them were left behind by his younger sister Lin Xianyu, very dainty, but there were a few shallow marks that didn’t belong to her.
Those footprints were slightly larger than Lin Xianyu’s, but equally slender, probably also from a woman.
And in the air, there was a faint bloody scent, although very light, it didn’t escape Lin Yuan’s senses.
Interesting. Such an incident didn’t occur in the previous simulated life.
It seemed that the butterfly effect did exist. Just because Lin Yuan’s strength was different from before, and he did some things…unexpected incidents occurred.
“What are you looking at?”
Curiously following his gaze, Ji Ling looked around but didn’t see anything, “By the way, I haven’t asked, what’s your sister’s name?”
“It’s nothing.” Glancing over his sister’s room, Lin Yuan calmly withdrew his gaze, picked up things and headed towards the main hall, “Her name is Lin Xianyu.”
“Is that so?” Ji Ling followed along, “Lin Xianyu… To have such a name, her family must be scholarly, and your mother must have loved reading in the past…”
“No, it was just a name given by a street fortune teller for a fee.”
“…”
Entering the house, Lin Yuan nonchalantly placed the food on the table, gesturing for Ji Ling to sit, then he focused on the martial arts golden body technique he obtained from Fan Long of Lingsheng Sect.
Carefully reading through it, Lin Yuan examined each page filled with various poses of little figures accompanied by detailed paths of movement.
After a while, Lin Yuan finished reading it all, closed the manual, and with a slight thought, new words appeared in the blue light screen in front of him.
