Chapter 68 – That Woman, That Princess

Lin Xiao’s holiday life has never been so fulfilling.

In the past few days, he and Elena read books in the library during the day and went home late at night. They would then return after eating the next day, how diligent.

Of course, Lin Xiao was not completely isolated from the world during these past couple of days. Since the end of the actual combat drill, the young lady of the Childe family, Rosie, changed her attitude towards him drastically.

Although Rosie still has a nasty tongue when they meet, Rosie was secretly concerned about him.

The best example was Rosie’s servant Afu, who would often go out to collect secret and confidential information, whenever it was related to Loran Academy or Lin Xiao, he would take the initiative to inform Lin Xiao as well.

For example, the news that the hero, Greenton met with the principal in private was news that Afu told him.

Thanks to Afu, Lin Xiao’s gossipy heart was fully satisfied.

…

That day at noon, Lin Xiao, who was absorbed in his book, was finally roused by the pain of his hungry stomach.

“I’m hungry.” Lin Xiao put down the book and stretched. “Elena, shall we go eat something?”

“Okay.” Elena nodded and agreed.

The two walked side by side on the empty campus. Since it was still a holiday, there were no students on campus.

Silence was not Lin Xiao’s style, so he randomly found a topic.

“Right, Elena, I heard from Afu yesterday, a transfer student is coming to our magic department. Reportedly, it’s…it’s…”

“The princess of the Great Qin Empire.” Elena found an appropriate time to cut in.

“Yes, the princess! She seems to be called, Ying something…”

“The surname is ShenDai, her name is Ying, ShengDai Ying.” Elena continued to answer.

“Yes, her! I forgot where I heard about her…”

“You, are curious about her?” asked Elena.

“Of course. Since she’s the princess of the Great Qin Empire, then she should belong to the Eastern Tribe, which means she must know about stuff related to the Eastern Tribe. When I have time, I have to ask her some questions.” Lin Xiao answered.

“But you’re from the Eastern Tribe, why do you need to ask her?” Elena asked puzzledly.

“Oh… no, no, no, I’m a fake Eastern Tribe, I just look like them. Elena, did you forget? I’m a transmigrator.”

“…So what exactly is a transmigrator?”

“That is, people who don’t belong to this world.” Lin Xiao thought about his wording.

After coming to Eileen, Lin Xiao has never talked about his past on Earth to anyone. Only one person knows all his secrets, that person is Snow.

Only in front of the little girl named Snow, Lin Xiao was willing to reveal his true feelings. Other than Snow, he had no one else that he fully trusted. Other than Snow, no one else knows about the fact that he’s a transmigrator.

If possible, Lin Xiao hoped that Elena would become the second person.

Just as he was brewing it over and preparing to explain, Elena suddenly held her mouth in surprise, stepped back and pulled away from Lin Xiao.

“What? Doesn’t belong to this world?” Elena’s voice began to tremble. “Are you saying that you are the messenger of the goddess of light? An angel?”

“The messenger? Angel? Elena, where did you hear about these strange words?” Lin Xiao was confused.

“I read it in the book just now! The book was very detailed, I feel like that author is amazing, she may be a certain god!”

“The author is a god?”

Did Elena inadvertently find some scary banned book in the ancient texts area?

This can be troublesome!

“It’s this book…because it was so interesting, I just brought it out!” saying that, Elena quickly handed over a very tattered book.

“So interesting?” Lin Xiao’s became even more curious.

Something that was deemed as interesting by the Demon King, what kind of banned book could it be?

Carefully taking over the book, Lin Xiao noticed that the title of the book was actually written in a language even more ancient than the ancient language, let alone understand it, he has never even seen it before.

Carefully turning over the first page of the book, Lin Xiao finally found words he could understand.

It was a small line of ancient words, translated into the common language, it would be, Author: Half a Basket of Peaches.

“Peh!”

Without a moment of hesitation, Lin Xiao forcefully tore the book to shreds.

“Hey, what are you doing?…”

Not waiting for Elena to exclaim, Lin Xiao did something else even more surprising.

He threw the confetti in his hand in the air and followed it with a snap.

BANG!

The fireball burned all the scraps into ashes in an instant.

“Garbage author, garbage book.” Lin Xiao’s face was ashen, and his tone was gloomy. “Elena, listen to me, you shouldn’t read those kinds of books…”

After saying that strange sentence, Lin Xiao walked off by himself.

“The author is called Half a Basket of Peaches?”

Elena still didn’t understand what happened, she started at the ashes scattered in the air and whispered to herself.

“Is she garbage?”

“Wu… but, I felt that the book was very interesting!”

“Who is she? … Hey, answer me!”

…

…

Winterless City

Rosie’s room

The weather was gradually cooling down. In order to prevent the young lady from getting cold and sick, Afu bought several scarves from the “Good Clothes Wares” clothing store for the lady. At this time, Miss Rosie was standing in front of a mirror, picked one of the several scarves from Afu’s hands, wrapped it around her neck, and then looked it over in the mirror.

It was unknown whether it was because Afu had no taste, and the scarves he bought were too ugly, or because Rosie’s mind was not on the scarf at all, she felt dissatisfied no matter how she looked at it, and in a fit of anger, ripped the scarf to pieces!

The silk scarf was ripped to shreds by her. For the first time, Afu realized that Miss Rosie had such strength and could rip up a scarf with her bare hands!

Fortunately, the person Miss Rosie was angry at was not Afu. Otherwise, the thing that would be ripped to pieces wouldn’t be the scarf, but him.

“Afu, are you sure the information is reliable?” Rosie asked sternly.

“Yes, Miss, it has been confirmed by many parties, there are no mistakes.” Afu responded quickly, for fear that the miss would direct her anger at him if he was too slow to respond.

“Damn!… Weren’t they going to wait until next year, until Caesar became an adult, before bringing that woman over? Why did they do it in advance?”

“Miss, I don’t know the specific reason… I only heard that it was the arrangement of the female emperor of the Great Qin Empire. She took the initiative to ask for that woman to be sent over in advance…”

As early as six months ago, Rosie knew about the existence of that woman. That woman and Caesar were arranged to be married. Originally, she wasn’t supposed to come to Winterless City until next year. Who would have known that they pushed it up!

Afu got the news a few days ago, that woman will arrive in Winterless City in a few days, and officially joined the Loran Academy Magic Department, becoming Rosie’s classmate.

After learning of the news, Rosie did not sleep well for a few days.

“The order of the female emperor? The princess of the Great Qin Empire? Is that woman that powerful? Is she that amazing? Is she that outstanding? Hmph.”

“Miss…” Even if he kept his head down and couldn’t see Rosie’s expression, just by listening to her voice, Afu could hear the thick layer of jealousy in her heart.

Overflowing jealousy would be an understatment. Afu feels that Miss Rosie’s envy can transform her into a trident wielding demon at any time!

“Afu, why aren’t you saying anything? So, do you also think that woman is outstanding, very powerful, and better than me, don’t you?”

Afu was scared trembling by Rosie’s question.

“…How could that be, Miss! I, I’ve never even seen her, I only know that she’s the princess of the Great Qin Empire, called, Ying something…”

“It’s ShenDai Ying! Remember that!” Rosie gradually started screaming.

“Yes, yes, Miss…”

Towards this kind of thing, Miss Rosie’s memory never fails, it’s not surprising that she’ll definitely engrave the name of her love rival in her heart, and remember it for a lifetime.

While speaking, Rosie took another scarf from Afu’s hand, tried it and still was not satisfied and thus…

… another expensive silk scarf was torn into pieces.

Thanks to the blessing of this silk scarf, her anger finally dissipated a bit.

“Right, Afu, did you tell Lin Xiao about ShenDai Ying?” Rosie mumbled. “Hmph, I originally didn’t want to tell him about this precious information, but you told me that I should get on better terms with him, so I can’t help it.”

Looking at Rosie’s cute appearance of not being truthful, Afu smiled and said nothing.

“Yes, I have told him,” he replied.

“Did you tell him all of it?” Like she was doubtful, Rosie asked again.

“That…” Afu didn’t understand the lady’s meaning at first, but soon, he finally realized the problem. “Oops… not all of it! There’s one thing I forgot to tell him!”

“It can’t be…” Although Rosie had already guessed it, but she still couldn’t make a conclusion.

“Yes, Miss, you guessed it right. I forgot to tell him about the arranged marriage between prince Caesar and princess ShenDai Ying!”

They knew about them getting engaged six months ago. To Afu, it was already worthless information, so he forgot to tell him, so Lin Xiao knew nothing about it.

He only knows that princess ShenDai Ying is coming, but he does not know that she came to get married with Caesar.

“But it shouldn’t matter? Anyway, he’ll find out sooner or later.” Although Rosie was saying that it doesn’t matter, but deep down she was a little worried, and her tone unconscionably became weaker. “Moreover, Caesar’s engagement with the princess has nothing to do with him, what is Lin Xiao anyways? Although he is also from the Eastern Tribe…”

As she spoke, Rosie’s envy was once again evoked.

“Speaking of that, we haven’t even seen the princess yet! Being from the Eastern Tribe, is she also like Lin Xiao, and has black hair and dark eyes? Hmph, I don’t know if she looks good, but if she’s a beautiful woman, then I will… I will… I, I, I, I!!!”

At this time, the last scarf in Afu’s hands was snatched away by Rosie.

“Miss! Don’t rip anymore! That’s the last scarf!”

“Hmph, like I care!”

Who knows where her strength comes from, but the last scarf was torn into pieces by Rosie.
