Chapter 53: About to Die, Let's Get Some Payback, Sister Yanran!
"Lin Ming, the food at the Imperial Capital University is even better than the street food outside. No wonder it's the top Awakener Academy in Kyushu. The food quality here is amazing. I wouldn’t get tired of eating here for four years!"
"Yeah!"
At dinner time, Lin Tianming and Chu Yunfei walked out of the cafeteria, feeling content and ready to return to the dormitory.
[I’ve been waiting for you, scumbag who sullied my body!]
Just a few steps out, Lin Tianming heard a voice filled with resentment and anger.
Wang Yanran!
His mind immediately conjured up the fiery image of Wang Yanran, and sure enough, when he looked ahead, she was walking towards him.
Chu Yunfei quickly noticed her too. He nudged Lin Tianming with his elbow and joked, "Hey... Tianming, isn’t that the senior who confessed to you the other night?"
"Don’t talk nonsense!" Lin Tianming glared at Chu Yunfei.
Last time, he nearly got tricked into the grove by Wang Yanran because he trusted Chu Yunfei’s nonsense.
This Wang Yanran is too dangerous!
"Junior, I added you as a friend a few days ago and sent you messages. Why didn’t you reply?"
Wang Yanran approached with a smile, her tone resembling that of a girlfriend questioning her boyfriend for not replying to messages.
"Uh... I just remembered I have other things to do. I won’t bother you. Tianming, have fun with the senior!"
Just as Lin Tianming was about to signal Chu Yunfei to leave together, Chu Yunfei, thinking Lin Tianming was hooking up with Wang Yanran, left on his own, acting as if he understood everything.
Lin Tianming rubbed his forehead and sighed, "This guy, Yunfei, is never reliable!"
Wang Yanran asked again, "Junior, I asked you a question. Why didn’t you reply to my messages for days?"
Lin Tianming had no choice but to answer, "Well... Senior, I forgot!"
Seeing Lin Tianming’s obvious discomfort, Wang Yanran squinted her eyes, "I'll let it go this time, but next time, don't ignore my messages!"
If Wang Jian were here, he would seriously doubt whether this passionate woman in front of Lin Tianming was really his cousin, who was usually so impatient with him.
Although Wang Yanran seemed warm towards Lin Tianming, he knew, from her thoughts, that she was only pretending to be friendly to kill him.
Now, Lin Tianming just wanted to leave, "I will definitely reply next time, Senior. Can I leave now?"
"Don’t rush, junior. I came to talk to you. Leaving right after meeting would be a bit rude. Come with me. You don’t have a stomach ache today, right?"
[I’ll end you tonight, so you won’t sully my body or harm more innocents in the future!]
Blocked from using his stomachache excuse, Lin Tianming forced a smile, "No, but where are we going, Senior?"
"I’m taking you to the Flame Awakening Grounds. We’ll talk there. No teachers will be using it tonight, so it’s just you and me. We can stay as long as we want!"
Wang Yanran intentionally used a seductive tone to lower Lin Tianming’s guard.
[Scumbag! Once we reach the Flame Awakening Grounds, you’re dead!]
Wang Yanran’s thoughts made Lin Tianming even more worried. He really didn’t have the confidence to beat her.
She was a senior in the fourth year and a reborn Flame Phoenix Goddess with partial divine power from her past life.
As her level increased, the residual divine power in her body would certainly be stronger than Feng Lan, Ye Qingxue, and Alice.
Combining her understanding of divine abilities from her previous life, she could use more advanced techniques at higher levels.
These special techniques were of a conceptual understanding, not skills, meaning his Divine Hand couldn’t replicate them.
Facing her directly now would be extremely dangerous.
Worse, he had just fought Lei Dong around noon, using three copied skills.
Even with his level up to sixteen, raising his copy skill limit to four, the other three skills were still on cooldown, leaving him with only one available copy skill.
His combat strength was severely compromised, giving him even less chance of winning against the higher-level Wang Yanran.
If only his copying ability had no cooldown, could be used infinitely, and had no skill limit, how great that would be!
Lin Tianming sighed inwardly.
Unfortunately, his level was still too low. His Divine Hand, as Teacher Jiang Han said, had many restrictions at low levels.
The skill copy limit was only four, with a cooldown of twelve hours.
Though this was a significant reduction from the three-day cooldown when he first awakened the Divine Hand, it was still far from enough for Lin Tianming.
He believed that as his level increased, the cooldown time and skill copy limit of the Divine Hand would be less restrictive.
But the problem was, he hadn’t grown strong enough yet!
"Junior, you can’t refuse my invitation this time. When we get to the Flame Awakening Grounds, we should have a good talk. If it goes well, we might talk about life and dreams all night!"
[Who wants to talk all night with a scumbag who sullied my body!]
[Sacrificing a bit of dignity is just a means to nip your evil in the bud. I’ll never like someone who sullied my innocence!]
Hearing Wang Yanran's contradictory thoughts, Lin Tianming really wanted to say that it was the original owner who sullied her body in the previous life, not him, the transmigrator.
He would’ve loved to have sullied her body, but he was innocent and didn’t even know what she smelled like!
Unable to think of a good excuse to get away, Lin Tianming thought about the imminent deadly battle and decided to take a bold step. He wrapped his arm around Wang Yanran’s waist.
She always accused him of sullying her body in her thoughts. Well, since they were about to clash anyway, and he might even die by her hands, he might as well get some payback!
Lin Tianming’s move made Wang Yanran, who was merely pretending to seduce him and didn’t want to be touched, shiver.
"You..."
"Didn’t you say we’re going to have a long talk? I’m just getting into character, Senior!"
Lin Tianming acted as if Wang Yanran was seducing him, holding her tighter.
Rendered speechless, Wang Yanran gritted her teeth in anger.
But to lure Lin Tianming into the Flame Awakening Grounds, where no one else would be, she had to endure it.
"Junior... I meant there are many people here... If we’re seen... I’ll be shy..."
[Shy my foot! I want to burn you alive on a stake! Scumbag! Pervert! Lecher!]
Hearing Wang Yanran’s infuriated thoughts, Lin Tianming felt a surge of satisfaction.
He maintained his aggressive stance, even squeezing her waist and holding her tighter.
"Let them see. Don’t you like me? Otherwise, why would you care if I don’t reply to your messages and always find me at night for long talks!"
"Junior, you seemed shy the other day... Didn’t expect you to be so proactive now..."
Appearing bashful on the surface, Wang Yanran’s heart was burning with endless fury.
[Lin Tianming, you brazen beast, enjoy it while you can! Soon, I’ll show you the wrath of hell!]
