Chapter Index

    “Big Bad Guy! Don’t you dare hide if you have the guts.”

    “If you bite me and I don’t hide, do you think I’m as stupid as you, Little White Rabbit?”

    “Big Bad Guy, you’re insulting me again! I’ll fight you to the end!”

    On the streets of Luo City, Zhu Ling kept lunging at Lin Xun, but Lin Xun skillfully dodged every time.

    In the eyes of passersby, it looked like two extremely beautiful young girls chasing each other, and the voices they heard were along the lines of “Catch me if you can~” and “I’m coming for you~”

    Consequently, the passersby all broke into knowing, doting smiles.

    Even the Medicine King Valley Great Master Senior Sister, who was secretly protecting Zhu Ling, was somewhat puzzled, wondering how her Saintess could have made such a friend from the Mortal World.

    Meanwhile, Sikong Wangxing followed behind them, her cherry-pink thin lips curling up slightly, her eyes gentle.

    Sikong Wangxing had been a bit nervous following behind Lin Xun, but the sight of the two playing around allowed the girl to gradually relax.

    For some reason, Sikong Wangxing even felt as if a husband and wife were taking their daughter out for an outing.

    “What am I thinking…” At this thought, Sikong Wangxing’s small face flushed a deep red, and her heart, which had finally calmed down, seemed to start racing again.

    “Ow, ow, ow, it hurts!”

    Finally, Lin Xun exposed a flaw and was caught by Zhu Ling.

    Zhu Ling grabbed Lin Xun’s arm and took a bite.

    Hearing Lin Xun cry out in pain, Zhu Ling’s stifled chest immediately felt much better. She continued to bite Lin Xun, her eyes curving into crescents.

    “Miss Zhu Ling, I’m currently heavily injured. If you keep biting like this, what if my injuries get worse?”

    “Hmph! Liar!” Zhu Ling’s crystalline pearly teeth left Lin Xun’s arm, but she subconsciously pulled his arm into her embrace to prevent him from running away.

    “When I bit you just now, I checked your pulse. Your pulse is stable. Although you have internal injuries, they aren’t life-threatening!”

    Zhu Ling held Lin Xun’s arm even tighter, as if afraid he would escape just like that.

    Feeling the two small bundles of cotton against his arm, Lin Xun inwardly nodded. It turned out the Little White Rabbit wasn’t completely flat after all.

    Lin Xun looked at the Little White Rabbit with a half-smile. “So your bite just now was actually a cover-up for a diagnosis? You wouldn’t happen to like me, would you?”

    “Who! Who would like a Big Bad Guy like you! Even if I, Zhu Ling, were to starve to death, I would never like you!”

    Zhu Ling’s pretty face turned slightly red, and she subconsciously let go of Lin Xun’s arm, her small hands pinching the hem of her skirt.

    “It’s for the best that you don’t like me.” Lin Xun smiled and turned to continue walking. “Otherwise, if your grandfather tries to kill me, it’ll be a real hassle.”

    “I… I won’t like you.”

    Watching the Big Bad Guy’s receding back, Zhu Ling’s eyes flickered as she mumbled softly.

    Shaking her head to shake off her strange thoughts, Zhu Ling followed along with Sister Wang Xing.

    “Big Bad Guy, that big sister at the Spring Breeze Tower said you’re good at writing poetry, is that true?”

    “It’s true.” Lin Xun nodded.

    “Liar, I don’t believe it.” Zhu Ling pouted her small lips.

    “Then it seems I’ll have to compose one for you.” Lin Xun thought for a moment. “Once there was a Little White Rabbit, who was a big dummy. Biting people and pouting her lips, one knock on the head and she’s crying her eyes out.”

    “BIG! BAD! GUY!”

    “Ow, ow, ow, don’t bite my neck! How am I supposed to explain this when I go back?”

    Zhu Ling and Lin Xun started fussing again. After a while, Zhu Ling’s anger dissipated and she let go. Lin Xun clutched his neck, which now bore a cute little tooth mark.

    “Big Bad Guy, what Realm are you at now?” Her anger came fast and left just as quickly. The girl’s eyes flickered as she looked at Lin Xun somewhat timidly, seemingly thinking of some mischievous idea.

    “Why are you asking that?”

    “I… I’m just curious…”

    “What Realm are you at?”

    “Hmph hmph.” Zhu Ling put her hands on her hips and puffed out her small chest. “I’m at the Golden Core Realm Middle Stage. Pretty impressive, right?”

    “Wow, so impressive.” Lin Xun smiled and rubbed her head.

    Being praised and having her head patted, Zhu Ling narrowed her eyes, thoroughly enjoying it.

    “So, Big Bad Guy, what Realm are you at?”

    “Oh, sigh, I’m heavily injured, so I’m still in the Dragon Gate Realm.”

    “Eh?” A glint of light flashed in Zhu Ling’s eyes. “Does that mean you can’t beat me?”

    “This…” Lin Xun looked at the innocence in Zhu Ling’s eyes and smiled inwardly, then let out a heavy sigh. “I really can’t beat you. After all, there’s a Realm of difference. What, are you going to take this chance to bully me?”

    “I… I’m not that kind of person…” Having her thoughts exposed, Zhu Ling turned her head away.

    “That’s good then.” Lin Xun breathed a sigh of relief. “I’m going to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm in half a month. I thought you might take the chance to retaliate against me during these two weeks.”

    “Half a month…”

    Zhu Ling calculated in her mind. She would stay here for a week at most, and she didn’t know when she’d be out next. By then, this Big Bad Guy’s Realm would definitely be higher than hers.

    In other words, did she only have half a month left to get her revenge on this Big Bad Guy?

    Oh no, what should I do? I just promised not to bully him.

    Wait.

    Wouldn’t it be fine if I just wore a mask?

    As long as I wear a mask to bully this Big Bad Guy, he won’t be able to recognize me!

    Having thought of a solution, Zhu Ling’s big eyes sparkled.

    The Little White Rabbit felt for the first time that she was actually quite clever.

    As for Lin Xun, even without mind-reading, he could tell what she was thinking from the Little White Rabbit’s adorable expression.

    Very well. When she comes looking for him, he’ll have another reason to bully her.

    “Miss Zhu Ling, I’m a bit hungry. There’s a century-old shop for braised pork hocks ahead. Could you go line up and buy a few? Miss Sikong and I will go buy some drinks.”

    It was getting late, and he hadn’t had a chance to chat with Sikong Wangxing yet. With Zhu Ling around, it was a bit inconvenient.

    Hearing Lin Xun’s voice and knowing he wanted to be alone with her, Sikong Wangxing’s heart raced slightly as she lowered her head.

    “Eh?” Zhu Ling looked at Lin Xun warily. “You wouldn’t be planning to do something to Sister Sikong, would you?”

    “How could I? Miss Sikong is in the Golden Core Realm Late Stage. I can’t beat her.” Lin Xun spoke very sincerely.

    “Oh… okay then. Come back quickly.”

    Although Zhu Ling still had some doubts, hearing him address her so respectfully made her feel a bit smug, so she agreed to Lin Xun’s request.

    Watching Zhu Ling disappear into the crowd, Lin Xun simply smiled. He was truly looking forward to how this silly Little White Rabbit would try to bully him.

    Right at that moment, Lin Xun felt his sleeve being gently tugged.

    Looking down, he saw the girl’s pair of Star Eyes, as brilliant as the Milky Way.

    The girl lowered her eyelids slightly, her long eyelashes blinking gently, her fair little face flushed with a faint rosy glow.

    Her bashful appearance was like an apple from Eden, making one want to take a bite.

    After a long while, the girl summoned her courage, her glass-like eyes wavering as she looked at Lin Xun. “Don’t… don’t bully Sister Zhu Ling anymore, okay?”
