Chapter 269 – Vicious Dog, Stand Down!

Princess Pelle exclaimed as ShenDai JianRen was sent flying in an arc, finally colliding with a bang into a stone pillar outside the door, almost breaking the pillar. Although his bones didn’t break, his internal organs did receive quite a shock as he bled from the corners of his mouth.

All the people who were watching coldly from the side were all dumbfounded, some were even fearful and wanted to escape.

His appearance may be a bit wretched but he was a proper adult male, his weight and height was incomparable to that of a student who never grew up yet like Lin Xiao. He was also several sizes larger than Lin Xiao, his muscles underneath his clothes was also rather robust and seemed to be a warrior.

Although he is somewhat unqualified…

That ShenDai JianRen was actually sent flying by a short and small youth with a simple push!

How is that possible, were they seeing things? Otherwise, how does this kid have so much strength?

Or perhaps was ShenDai JianRen his accomplice and they were putting on a show for them? That doesn’t make sense, he isn’t a masochist so why would he hurt himself to put on a show.

Actually, it wasn’t just Princess Pelle that didn’t understand, even ShenDai JianRen himself didn’t understand, why was he suddenly sent flying?

Did he simply use physical strength to push him? No, that kid has thin limbs and looked like a good-for-nothing that stayed at home with one look.

So that means it was magic?

Or some rare magic tool?

ShenDai JianRen immediately noticed the glimmer of the faint inconspicuous green light, but it was too fleeting and unremarkable so he couldn’t make a judgment.

He was lying against the pillar dazing out while Lin Xiao also looked at him in a loss, then turned to look at the banquet door that was crowded with people and didn’t know what kind of expression to make…

Princess Pelle’s exclamation as well as the sound of ShenDai JianRen colliding with the pillar aroused the attention of the crowd. The banquet hasn’t started yet but the people surrounding the door increased, like a prelude to a big show.

Obviously, things have gone too far.

Originally, according to his temper of not liking to causing trouble and not getting angry, he would never get hands on with someone in a place like this, especially not to ShenDai Ying’s attendant.

Yet, he still did something like that.

When he sensed that the other party was attempting to use his hands to take advantage of Elena, there was an abrupt flame that was lit inside of him and he suddenly reacted even before he could carefully think it over!

He couldn’t let this bastard get away with it.

He instinctively instant cast the fifth level magic, Wind Blast!

And so, a compressed wind blast, on his defenseless body at pointblank range, sent him flying before he could even cry out in pain.

“Did I use too much strength…”

Lin Xiao sighed as he silently withstood the unkind eyes of the crowd.

It was not good news to be in the spotlight for something like this, so it wasn’t just Lin Xiao that was uncomfortable, even Elena was slightly embarrassed.

Even if she hid behind Lin Xiao, she could feel those dagger-like stares, if it wasn’t for Lin Xiao holding her arm, she might have even escaped.

Elena has never shied away from the strongest of foes, but faced against the disdainful and teasing of those nobles, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Then how would the youth protecting her feel?

Looking at his face, she couldn’t help but feel some warmth in her heart.

Even if she was cursing at Lin Xiao and purposely stepped on his toes, but now she couldn’t blame him at all and just wanted to continue hiding behind him at ease.

“Lin Xiao, you…”

Complex emotions were surging inside of her, and Elena couldn’t help but call out.

“What?”

Hearing her voice, Lin Xiao lowered his head to look at her and noticed that she had a faint blush and her fluttering ruby-like eyes and he could feel her hidden dependence and he didn’t regret what he just did anymore.

It was worth it, too worth it!

Although that was the case, he subconsciously said something that completely destroyed the atmosphere…

“Elena, you’re the Demon King, why are you pretending to be some pure and innocent little girl?”

“Hah? W-who’s pretending to do that?”

“Don’t misunderstand, I didn’t do that because I was worried about you. I… I was just worried that his dirty hands would dirty your clothes. Your clothes are too expensive, if it was dirtied or damaged, I don’t have any money to buy new ones.”

Lin Xiao obviously knew what to kind of stuff to say in this atmosphere, but he had always been bickering with Elena like this so he’s too used to interacting with her in this way.

“Oh, so you weren’t worried about me, but my clothes?” Elena squinted and asked.

“Of course, the clothes are better than you.”

“Is that so? Then can I ask exactly who was it that was grabbing me with their dirty hands earlier and wouldn’t let go with a face of enjoyment?”

“… Tsk, you disobedient maid, what a nasty mouth, only your breasts are pleasing! Elena, it sounds like it isn’t enough… does your chest feel swollen and you want me to help you do something so it feels better?”

“If you want to die, you can go ahead and try.”

“I’m not afraid. I’ll help you **** when we get back, I’m sure that’ll be great!”

“W-what did you say? You damn pervert! Say that again and I’ll kill you!”

“You two shut up!”

A coarse voice sounded.

ShenDai JianRen climbed up and wanted to teach Lin Xiao a lesson, and was angered by hearing the two of them wantonly flirting.

Although he looked miserable, he wasn’t that injured.

He wasn’t weak, in Eileen levels he would be around a sixth level warrior, so even if he ate Lin Xiao’s ‘Hand Cannon’ he could still hold on.

“Kid, I didn’t think you had it in you, I underestimated you.”

ShenDai JianRen patted the dust off his body and awkwardly glanced at the increasing number of onlookers at the door as well as Princess Pelle that had a disdainful expression and felt like he experienced an extreme humiliation!

It was all because of this arrogant brat who came out of nowhere, he was humiliated! Right now, he had to redeem his reputation with action, otherwise he would become a laughingstock!

“I don’t know what kind of tricks you pulled, but that was because I was too careless, kid, don’t underestimate me.” ShenDai JianRen approached Lin Xiao as he cracked his knuckles, “Originally when you broke into the palace, you would only be sentenced to prison, I also want to spare your life… but now, you asked for it, so don’t blame me for being merciless.”

He had to climb up from where he fell down, the reasoning was simple.

As long as he beat this poor kid to death in front of the crowd, then he could wash himself of the humiliation and the nobles wouldn’t talk about him as a joke, just the fact that there was some poor kid trying to sneak into the banquet.

As they spoke there was a cluster of footsteps as a large group of sword wielding armored guards rushed over surrounding the entire banquet hall. Then they planned to arrest that arrogant kid!

“You guys, don’t do anything.”

At that time, Princess Pelle who was standing at the door ordered.

“Don’t do anything? Princess Pelle, you mean… oh, understood!”

Initially, the captain of the guards didn’t understand Princess Pelle’s intentions, but when he saw the youth facing off against ShenDai JianRen, he instantly understood her intentions seeing her gaze on them and ordered his subordinates to stand down and silently watched the show with the princess.

“This Princess Pelle looks kind of familiar…”

Lin Xiao glanced at the princess and had the feeling that she looked similar to someone he was familiar with, but he just couldn’t put his finger on who it was.

It feels like he’s seen that radiant blonde hair somewhere…

“Stinking brat, it’s too late for you to run now! Hehe, don’t blame me for not warning you, when you die, your maid will belong to me!”

“Sigh, I really don’t understand why Sister Ying has a mad dog like you as an attendant…”

“What? Sister Ying? Kid, I think you’re the one that’s mad, you think your my lady’s little brother? You’re delusional!”

Hearing Lin Xiao’s quiet mutterings, he couldn’t hold back and charged Lin Xiao!

There was no battle aura, just a vicious wolf head that appeared.

“Hungry Wolf Assault!”

He punched out, unstoppable, with the ferocity and ruthlessness of a hungry wolf, intending to smash his frail body to pieces.

Just as the crowd was being drawn into the fierce battle that was about to unfold, there was a sudden flurry of cheery blossoms.
