The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 189: Driven Out

Achoo——

Xin Lin felt an itch in her nose and sneezed.

She looked at the Mystical Medicine Book in her hands. The sky had already brightened considerably. Although she endured the pain, the thought of experiencing it again the next evening made Xin Lin shiver uncontrollably.

"It seems I have no choice but to seek out the Rascal Corpse."

Despite her extreme reluctance, Xin Lin was not someone who couldn’t swallow her pride.

She was still grateful for Gui Hu’s secret efforts to ease her troubles.

She had been hesitating to approach Gui Hu directly, not because she was unwilling to apologize, but because she hadn’t figured out how to negotiate with him yet.

The Rascal Corpse, once given an inch, would take a mile.

His help was not genuine.

He needed Fu Xi’s Energy, and so did Xin Lin.

For now, the two could coexist peacefully, but if one day their conflicts intensified, or if Gui Hu completely broke free from the Sealing Spirit Talisman and sought to reclaim the Fu Tian Pill, Xin Lin was certain he would not hesitate to slit her throat.

She could relinquish a portion of Fu Xi’s Energy, but there had to be a gain for every loss. She had to ensure that while the Rascal Corpse regained his strength, she was also growing stronger, and at a faster pace than him.

This was also the reason why she absolutely needed to find the Mystical Medicine Book.

To others, medical skills might just be an auxiliary tool, but having experienced modern society, Xin Lin knew very well that in critical moments, medical skills could control life and death and were an unparalleled Magic Treasure for gaining strength and power.

The Rascal Corpse had never mentioned why he was trapped in the Ancient Coffin or why he couldn’t be exposed to light; it seemed he certainly had an unmentionable weakness.

If she could find his weakness, Xin Lin wouldn’t need to fear him anymore.

"Well, once the Mystical Medicine Book is complete tonight, I’ll go look for him. If he causes trouble in the city, it will eventually be my problem," Xin Lin muttered to herself.

Although she had used Fu Xi’s Energy all night, Xin Lin was surprisingly spirited, showing no signs of fatigue. She decided to strike while the iron is hot and started reading through the Mystical Medicine Book in her room.

Xin Lin was studying hard in the inn’s Mystical Medicine Book when she suddenly heard a commotion in the late afternoon.

"Get out, all of you, even daring to offend the Water Wraith Gang, our inn cannot accommodate you."

Shortly after, Xin Lin heard Noble Lady Shi’s pleading voice. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Startled, Xin Lin stood up and walked out.

Several inn staff were pushing and shoving Noble Lady Shi and her son, throwing their luggage out.

Seeing Xin Lin, one of the staff shouted,

"There’s one more, the shopkeeper said to move out immediately."

"Young man, let’s talk this out nicely. We’ve paid our Silver Taels, we’re supposed to stay until the day of the Zixiao Palace Exam, how can you just kick us out; business should be done reasonably."

Xin Lin gestured to Noble Lady Shi to keep quiet.

"Dear guests, we’re truly compelled. Opening for business, our biggest fear is offending local ruffians and bullies. This morning, a gang leader from the city’s Water Wraith Gang came and said you offended their brothers a few days ago and ordered us to evict you immediately, or they would smash our inn. Please don’t make this difficult for us."

After saying this, the staff pushed and shoved Xin Lin and the two others out of the inn.

The Water Wraith Gang was apparently the force behind the local ruffians they’d encountered earlier.

Xin Lin hadn’t expected these minor ruffians to have some backing.

Left with no choice, they had to switch to another inn.
