Chapter 320 – Honeymoon at Public Expense

He was just an ordinary person, although he believed he could become someone amazing through his hard work, but he never would have dreamed of forming a connection with a foreign princess.

When ShenDai Ying said that she wanted to team up, he had thought he was hallucinating. What kind of joke is that, she’s a beautiful and a respectable princess, why would she come looking for him to team up? Could it be that she’s into him?

If that was the case, Lin Tian would indeed be ecstatic, but…

“Sigh, how is that possible, if anything, the person she’s into is probably that guy, right?”

Actually, he heard about the uproar that happened during the royal banquet, but he always just thought it was gossip and wasn’t credible, but now he completely believes it.

In ShenDai Ying’s heart, Lin Xiao probably held a considerable amount of weight, something that only Lin Xiao could call her and he thought too highly of himself and called her that and made her angry.

“That means she didn’t come to team up because of me, but because of… my sister?” Lin Tian wasn’t an idiot, after he calmed down and thought about it for a bit, he also came to the correct answer.

His sister, the possessor of the wizard’s bloodline, Yao Zi… the reason ShenDai Ying came to them was probably to form a connection with Yao Zi, as for if she had any other intentions, that was hard to guess.

“It’s my sister again!”

Lin Tian didn’t understand why everyone was so focused on his sister, first, it was those alliance officials, then Lin Xiao, and now even ShenDai Ying came… is that bloodline’s power attractive?

Why did no one care about him?

“Damn…”

Lin Tian slammed his fist on the windowsill and enured the waves of pain.

“Hey! You idiot, be careful, don’t hit her head!”

“I can’t, I-I’m out of strength…”

“Hold in there Elena! Victory is right in front of us, so don’t let go!”

“But I’m really…”

“Hold on! You have to hold on! Otherwise Yao Zi won’t be able to get married anymore! Then if she blames me and makes me marry her, then what should I do?”

“What? Marry her? Peh, you damn pervert! I won’t allow that!”

“I don’t want to either! So lift!”

“Damn… don’t look down on me, I’m the demon king!”

“Okay, okay, demon king, please put in some more strength… one, two… hyah!”

The noisy sounds outside the door caught Lin Tian’s attention.

“Eh? Sister?”

“Yo, little bro Lin Tian.”

When Lin Xiao saw him, Lin Xiao had an awkward expression, but still cheerfully greeted him.

“Why did you just come back now? Also, I’m not your little brother, don’t call me that!”

“Okay, I won’t call you that, little brother Lin Tian.”

“I just said I’m not your little brother!”

Lin Tian was irritated, and when he took a good look, he noticed something wrong with his sister.

His sister was unconscious and Lin Xiao and Elena were carrying her legs and head, like carrying a bag of rice into the hotel…

He didn’t know why his sister was unconscious or why she looked like that?

Her hair was disheveled, her face was covered in dirt, her limbs had varying degrees of injuries. What was more scary was that the dress she was wearing was gone and now she was wearing…

Wait a second, can that even be called clothes? That just a raggedy sack!

The dark brown bag was just a burlap sack that even the homeless didn’t like, dirty and ugly and was worn over Yao Zi with nothing underneath.

“You guys… what did you do to my sister?”

“I say little brother, calm down first, just let me explain…”

“Explain what, you guys definitely did something bad!”

“Uh, just think about it, if we were really the ones who made her like that, why would we take the effort to carry her all the way back to you like that?”

“B-but…”

“Really, my maid and I are almost out of strength, if you keep wasting time I’m going to drop her here and let the others at the inn come take a look, how about that?”

“Y-you dare!?”

“Then stop wasting time, and get out of the way!”

“Uh, okay, okay…”

Lin Tian didn’t feel good about it, but he still let way and let them carry Yao Zi to the bed and then he closed the door and was able to relax a bit.

The journey was exhausting for Lin Xiao and Elena.

Yao Zi failed, hurt herself and passed out and even burnt all her clothes off, which really troubled Lin Xiao.

With such a large commotion, the soldiers would have already left to investigate, and since the scorched earth was so conspicuous, he had to escape as soon as possible.

He had no choice but to carry Yao Zi back towards Winterless City with Elena, and was scolded a lot in the process…

Elena didn’t allow him to look at Yao Zi’s naked body and didn’t allow him to have any improper thoughts. They were vigilant all the way and after they sneaked into the city, they picked up a burlap sack for her and were finally able to carry her while hiding left and right, all the way back to the inn.

“So, what happened?”

“Sigh, your sister forced herself too much and cast eighth-level magic and ended up hurting herself. I couldn’t do anything about it.”

“Hah? Eighth-level magic? So that strange tremor was you guys? … You’re kidding right!”

“I know, but Lin Tian, listen to your brother…”

“Hey, who has a brother like you?”

“Little brother Lin Tian, calm down…”

“I already said that I’m not your little brother!”

“Sigh…”

Lin Tian wasn’t a bad person, but his impatient temperament and immaturity was annoying, he was just a brat that was spoiled by his sister. If he had the chance he really wants to teach him the cruelness of society, but…

Did this kid have anything to do with him?

Lin Xiao wasn’t his brother, and he only came here to study Yao Zi. In a couple of days he was going to leave for the S ranked mission and wouldn’t have anything to do with these siblings anymore. Even if they also took the mission, Lin Xiao had no plans of going with them, so he didn’t bother anymore.

Don’t forget, on the surface they were going for the mission, but the real goal was to help Elena investigate the Venus Society and the internal situations of the demons, so that means he would come into contact with many demons and have to borrow Elena’s power. That’s why they couldn’t team up with anyone and can’t let Elena’s identity be exposed.

So he could only set out by himself with Elena. The road ahead of them was long and the mission treacherous, it’s good that he wasn’t alone and had his maid’s company.

Carefully thinking about it, this trip was like their honeymoon, helping and supporting each other, overcoming difficulties and risks together, it really does feel a bit poetic.

“Hm… you can ask your sister for the details when she wakes up, I’ll be leaving first.”

Lin Xiao was exhausted and he was going to go back home with Elena to rest up.

Today’s event was far from over, after such a big incident, like burning an entire forest down, it wouldn’t end so easily.

Such a sudden magic attack would surely alarm various powers, and coincidentally at such a sensitive time.

So… who was the bastard that used eighth-level magic to burn down the forest outside of Winterless city?

Was it an enemy?

What was their goal?

Lin Xiao never would expect that the commotion he caused was far greater than what he could have imagined. He also didn’t know just how much difficult awaited him during this S ranked mission. What was happening at Gotham Kingdom was not as simple as it appeared to be.

But… no matter what came at them, it wouldn’t be difficult to solve, he just had to put in a bit of effort and can’t laze around all day anymore.

Lin Xiao who already grasped deconstruction along with Elena’s demon king abilities were an invincible pair. No matter how strong the enemies were, they would probably have to think about how many lives they had if they ran into this pair.

“Hm? What’s this?”

Just as Lin Xiao was leaving, he suddenly noticed a strand of long black hair on the table inside the room.

All three of them had black hair, but none of them had such long hair, not even Yao Zi, so it was strange.

It couldn’t be her, right?

“Lin Tian… did someone come during the day?”
