Chapter 72 - Seeing Vannie Again

When Qian Shanxue heard that Lin Shuang didn’t want money, she thought that he was going to do something to her. Then, she took a few steps back and covered her chest with her hands as she glared at Lin Shuang with a red face. “Who do you think I am! Don’t even think about it. It’s just a game. I won’t let you have your way! The worst that can happen is that I don’t want it anymore, you scum, pervert, sex maniac!”

Looking at Qian Shanxue, who was blushing and cursing him, Lin Shuang felt his trigeminal nerves jumping. He looked at Qian Shanxue with a dark expression. “Sister, have you lost your mind? If you’re sick, then go to the psychiatric hospital to take a look. Don’t delay the best treatment time.”

Hearing Lin Shuang call her a lunatic, Qian Shanxue instantly flew into a rage. If this was a two-dimensional world, Qian Shanxue would definitely be like a teapot with boiling water, the kind that was burning red and steaming.

However, before Qian Shanxue could continue attacking, Lin Shuang spoke to her first. “Qian Shanxue, I just want to ask when I asked you for money. We fought the Boss together. Everyone who sees the equipment has a share. Isn’t that what we should do? Why did it change when it came to you? Is there something wrong with your brain? Why do you think I would have improper thoughts about someone with a figure that can be my brother?”

Lin Shuang’s series of questions were like buckets of ice water, extinguishing Qian Shanxue’s anger and all the strange thoughts in her mind.

It turned out that she had been thinking too much. Lin Shuang had no intention of collecting money from her. She had been judging a gentleman with her own eyes and had forgotten that Lin Shuang was completely different from the teammates she had worked with before.

Although Qian Shanxue realized her mistake, she didn’t want to bow down to a boy who belittled her figure. “It’s all because you haven’t refuted what I said. Otherwise, how could I have misunderstood you? It’s all your fault!”

Looking at the unreasonable Qian Shanxue, Lin Shuang felt that he had to see if there were any heart medicines in the various main cities next time. Otherwise, he would definitely be angered to death by Qian Shanxue.

“I wanted to say something, but you were like a cannonball, not giving me a chance to interrupt. How can I refute you!!!” However, these words were only a few complaints in Lin Shuang’s heart. 50 years of experience in his previous and current life told him not to talk back to angry girls. Be it little girls, young beauties, or middle-aged women, he would not have a good time.

Therefore, Lin Shuang chose to apologize to Qian Shanxue against his will.

“Alright, it’s my problem this time. I promise it won’t happen again.” With that, he took out the Elemental Holy Bow and handed it to Qian Shanxue.

After obtaining the Elemental Holy Bow, Qian Shanxue proudly scratched the bridge of her nose and did not say anything else. She walked straight towards the exit that had been opened after the death of the Frost Worm King.

Looking at the arrogant Qian Shanxue, Lin Shuang, who originally had a helpless expression, smiled.

It had been a long time since he’d tasted such relief. To preserve this hard-won chance at rebirth, he would definitely become stronger regardless of the consequences. He would be strong enough to protect his friends and family from the God Clan. He would be powerful enough to resist the invasion of the God Clan and even attack the God Clan’s world!

Lin Shuang’s face was filled with a self-satisfied smile as he chased after Qian Shanxue’s back.

Time passed quickly, and the sun and moon rotated. When the two of them returned to Lingfan City from the depths of the Thousand Islands Snow Mountain, it was already ten o’clock at night.

Under the illumination of the stars and the bright moon, the two of them walked into the brightly lit library.

As soon as Lin Shuang entered, he saw Vanni sitting at the administrator’s counter with a worried expression.

“Hi, Vanni. I’m back from the Thousand Islands Snow Mountain and have brought the energy crystals you need.” As Lin Shuang spoke, he took out an energy crystal from his backpack and placed it on the counter.

Vanni looked at the energy crystal on the counter and instantly perked up. He picked it up and examined it carefully. After confirming that it was undoubtedly an energy crystal, he looked at the relaxed faces of Lin Shuang and Qian Shanxue, the worry on Vanni’s face was instantly swept away. He said to the two of them with a smile, “Since you can obtain energy crystals from the Thousand Islands Snow Mountain, it proves your strength. Then I’ll rest assured to tell you about this. It’s not convenient to talk here. Please follow me.”

With that, Vanni led the two of them through several turns and through several layers of magic shields to the basement of the library. There were several large bookcases in the basement. There was already a desk that exuded the aura of history and several wooden chairs.

After Vanni invited the two of them to their seats and poured them each a cup of black tea, he began to explain the cause and effect of his son’s matter.

“My son’s name is Vanke. He has been smart since he was young and is filled with curiosity about the outside world. I’ve already told you why he ran away from home, so I won’t elaborate further.

“I said before that I need you to help me find the energy crystal before you help me find my son. There’s a reason.

“I don’t know how my son found out that I have the incomplete Teleportation Magic Array. He actually secretly used the Teleportation Magic Array with its last teleportation energy and was sent to a place called the Forest of Arcane.

“If that’s all, I wouldn’t be too worried about his safety. After all, he has the strength of a peak Elementary Sorcerer (Level 20). But when he was teleporting, he even stole an Arcane Magic Book that recorded all kinds of high-level magic in the forbidden area of my library.”

At this point, Lin Shuang asked thoughtfully, “Are you afraid that your son will use the magic in the Arcane Magic Book recklessly and cause great harm? Or are you afraid that after the Arcane Magic Book is snatched away by bad people, they will do evil and harm the world?”

Facing Lin Shuang’s question, Vanni sighed and continued, “If it was just the situation you mentioned, it would be easy. I wouldn’t be so worried. Let me tell you a story. You’ll know why I’m so worried.

“A long time ago, the Forest of Arcane was a holy land for sorcerers to cultivate. It was filled with all kinds of magical creatures and had extremely rich elemental energy. But one day, dark energy suddenly appeared in the Forest of Arcane. From then on, the originally quiet and peaceful forest began to walk the path of destruction.”
