Chapter 49: Poisonous as a Poppy

Lin Xiaocha's heart was beating wildly.

Han Yu's eyes were like the vast sea, and the sea seemed to contain only her.

But soon, she calmed herself down, and her heart stopped throbbing.

What he saw in his heart was just a liar—a liar who approached him because of ulterior motives and recognized him as a wrong person.

Her flushed face began to turn white quickly. Finally, she lowered her head and stopped making contact with his eyes.

Other students naturally did not understand his inexplicable partiality, but people always tried to rationalize everything that happened. For example, they thought that Lin Xiaocha was cute and pure and that Han Yu admired her because she could read such a difficult book...

In short, people would think that she must have her advantages, so Han Yu would treat her so special.

The way of heaven is cruel, but it would take some and give away some. On the other hand, the human's way is crueler, and it would not give enough to make up for what it took.

People like to join in the fun, so popular people would become more and more popular, while people who were left out would be left out more and more.

Lin Xiaocha had always used this human psychology for her own benefit. At this time, the system showed that a large number of targets, whose names she didn't even know, had been rising in favorability.

But Jin Zhifeng's progress was already close to 100% for so long, and finally today, after two years, it suddenly became full.

The system jumped out: [Congratulations to the host. The target Jin Zhifeng's mission is completed! 】

However, Lin Xiaocha was not too happy. She lowered her head and read the booklet in her hand without saying a word. She deliberately avoided Han Yu's gaze and left the lecture hall without even calling him after school.

Han Yu glanced coldly at her back, only to see Jin Zhifeng chasing after her.

Lin Xiaocha stood on the mist-shrouded Qixing Platform, looking at the Shanhai peak floating in the clouds in the distance and the cranes flying around them. She now knew that these cranes were all mounts of practitioners in Tianyu Mountain.

All the cranes were exactly alike, and she didn't know which one is A Si until one of the cranes rolled its eyes at her condescendingly.

Lin Xiaocha: ...

"Little bean sprouts." When Lin Xiaocha heard someone calling her, she didn't even turn her head. She was still looking aimlessly into the distance.

Having been in this world for two years, she wanted to go home.

After returning, she must become a good person. She wanted to have a serious relationship and find someone who can accept who she is.

However, would there be such a person in the world?

Jin Zhifeng stood behind her, and his eyes were deep. "Little bean sprouts, it seems that everyone likes you."

There was some jealousy in his voice.

"Really?" Lin Xiaocha's voice was nonchalant. Since he was already 100%, she didn't need to continue working on him. She is always realistic.

"Who do you like?" Jin Zhifeng stepped forward, "Feng Ziying? Han Yu? Or..."

"I don't like anyone." Lin Xiaocha interrupted him. I only like myself. I am that kind of a selfish person.

She turned her back to Jin Zhifeng, and he couldn't see her indifferent expression.

He was relieved to hear her said that. Fortunately, she didn't like anyone. Maybe she still didn't understand what "like" was.

"Little bean sprouts, you and I will go back to Jinjue City. I will take care of you forever." He didn't want her to stay here anymore. He didn't want her to contact those people anymore. He even hoped that she was his Persian cat, forever by his side and always belonged to him.

"Don't you always like Bai Xuanran?" Her voice was faint.

Jin Zhifeng had some guilty conscience. Two years ago, he and Xuan'er were making noises all the way because of Bai Xuanran.

"That was young and ignorant. Before I met you, I didn't understand my heart. Xuanran and I were just playmates."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of someone stepped on a tree branch behind him. He turned around to see that it was Bai Xuanran.

"Brother Zhifeng?" Bai Xuanran's face was pale, and she clenched her chest. Her beautiful eyes were a little sad.

Bai Xuanran is the kind of person that even if she didn't want some things, she still has to drag them around for fear of being snatched away by others.

She also played the former Jin Zhifeng like this. At this moment, he understood why his sister hated her so much.

There was a moment of boredom in his heart, and he no longer showed mercy. "Since you are not interested in me, why are you putting on this expression? Not everyone in the world wants to rotate around you."

Bai Xuanran looked at him incredulously, as if she didn't believe that he would actually speak to her in such a disgusted tone.

Lin Xiaocha understands that Bai Xuanran was used to being a goddess, so she didn't know how a man thinks. When a man loves you, everything about you is right. When he doesn't love you, you are wrong even when you are breathing.

Bai Xuanran held her heart tightly. Her heart disease really flared up this time, but Jin Zhifeng wouldn't help her, so she could only hold her chest and find a medic for help.

During the whole process, Lin Xiaocha didn't turn around.

At this moment, whatever they did have nothing to do with her.

She didn't know how long she watched the sky aimlessly until she smelled the scent of pine needles.

That person just stood quietly behind her.

She slowly placed her hand in front of her, pinching her skirt with her fingers, but the person behind her still remained silent for a long time.

Finally, she couldn't help but turned around and looked at him with a smile, "Xianjun, when did you come? Why did you think about coming to class today?"

The man looked at her with dark clouds in his eyes, "Why did you come to Tianyu Mountain?"

Lin Xiaocha kept her fingers around her skirt, "Xiaocha told Xianjun before that I want to cultivate."

"Ten elective course cards, and you only chose Shang Yuan's course just to sleep in class? Is this the way you cultivate?"

Lin Xiaocha murmured, "I really can't hide anything from your eyes."

Han Yu took a step closer, "For what?"

Lin Xiaocha looked up at those eyes again. She felt that she could not bear such a stare.

She lied and lied. She never blinked an eye when she deceived people. She was a liar, and she was not afraid to use a hundred lies to round out another one. She could tell a thousand or ten thousand lies in one go.

But suddenly, she didn't want to lie anymore.

Yeah, why would she lie to him?

He did not worth a penny, so why should she show her false self to him?

"For the business..." But as soon as she spoke, she was dragged into the man's arms and plunged into his broad chest.

His slender hand clasped the back of her head, "Xiaocha..."

This is the first time Lin Xiaocha heard him call her name. It seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, and it sounded numb.

Han Yu seemed to wait for a long time and finally spoke, "Two years ago, you asked me if I could like you. In fact, I was tempted at that time but didn't know it. At that time, I also didn't know that you saved me."

Lin Xiaocha smelled the clear scent on his body and felt dizzy. She listened to these things that she once thought he would never be able to say.

And he touched her head lightly, "I think I am no worse than Shang Yuan."

Such childish words came out of his mouth. If he said this in normal times, Lin Xiaocha would definitely laugh. But now, she only felt that her brain was blank.

Shang Yuan, whether he is good or bad, has nothing to do with her. In her eyes, he is just a walking cheque.

Why should you compare yourself with him?

His body temperature seemed to be much higher than before, even higher than Lin Xiaocha's. On the top of this mountain, under the cool breeze, she felt very warm and wanted to rely on him.

For some reason, she remembered what her roommate told her: If you don't like people, you should refuse and make it clear. Don't be sloppy and always want to profit from others.

It turned out that she didn't forget about these words at all.

Lin Xiaocha propped his chest with her hands and broke free of his embrace.

For the first time, her eyes, which were always lingering and eager to talk, showed a wave of determination.

"Xianjun, you should understand the principle of time. Moreover, two years ago, you saved me first, and I saved you. So we don't owe each other. If something happened between us, let it pass."

She stretched out her hand, "Xianjun, return my egg to me. You have no obligation to protect us. We can also take care of ourselves."

I am a bad woman. I came to this world just to get what I want.

For the first time, Han Yu felt that the little girl in front of him was so strange.

He always thought she was like a camellia dyed with morning dew, but now he thinks she is poisonous like a poppy.

*

In the deep icy sea, a giant scaled dragon had its eyes opened, half-sleeping and bored.

"Father, my mother, she..."

"Enough." The Demon King interrupted him, "You, mother and son, are originally a stain on this king's life. I don't want to hear any news from you at all, and I don't want to see you."

Shang Yuan squeezed his fist. If he pressed a little harder, he could smash his fingers.

This demon was very excited about his mother, but he never wanted her to be pregnant. It was a shame for a demon king to have a half-demon heir, so he abandoned his pregnant mother and drove her out of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest.

"Mother has passed away."

"Your mother is a mortal. It has been hundreds of years. What's so strange that she died."

"She was forced to death by Lin Yishan. Feng Nanfei instructed him to kill your offspring, so he forced my mother and me to jump off the cliff. Mother tightly held me in her arms. I am a half-demon, so I was fine. But when I opened my eyes, my mother had become a mess of flesh."

Although Shang Yuan was reborn, his body was still a child at the time, and he had tried every means to change this tragedy.

Whenever he closed his eyes, he saw his mother smiling and telling him not to cry, not to be afraid, and she would always protect him, but she became a pool of blood.

The black dragon seemed unmoved and closed his eyes again.

It seemed that the story had nothing to do with him.

In Shang Yuan's previous life, when the Demon King Egg withered, the dragon found Shang Yuan and asked him to recognize him and return to his ancestry. Shang Yuan never knew that he was ruthless and cold-blooded.

A beast is indeed a beast.

Demon King: "Shang Yuan, don't have wishful thinking that I will let you come back. Even if you have cultivated in Tianyu Mountain for 500 years, you still can't compare with my Long'er. You know, he is a real dragon. The only true dragon in the Zhu Yun country. Only him can compete with Feng Nanfei's phoenix, and only him can revive our demon race."

Shang Yuan suppressed the anger in his heart and respectfully said, "Father, naturally, I can't compare with my younger brother. This time I'm here to tell you my younger brother's whereabouts."

Only then did the Demon King opened his eyes. Instantly the entire deep ocean surged, causing countless waves.

When the ocean floor became calm again, the black dragon had disappeared, and instead, a handsome man with a black robe, silver hair, and dragon horns appeared.

He looked at Shang Yuan with his deep blue eyes, as deep as the sea.

"Say it! Where is my Long'er!"

"Lin Yishan forced my mother to death back then." Then, looking at the silver-haired demon king, he added word by word, "Furthermore, Lin Yishan tied my brother and his daughter with a life and death agreement."

At this time, the Demon King's eyes opened wider and wider. Then, he began to growl frantically.

His anger rolled the sea into a huge whirlpool.

The whole sea echoed with his voice.

"This king is going to kill Lin Yishan and his daughter!!"
