The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 481 - 478: You Hurt Her

Murong Ziyue’s complexion shifted, she struggled, her knuckles turning white, yet she failed to break free from Mu Chen’s grip.

"Let go!"

Murong Ziyue issued a light rebuke.

"Don’t forget, before we left, Master said that you must obey me. If you compromise the plan, I can take the lives of your two new ’friends’ at any moment."

A voice as fine as silk crept into Murong Ziyue’s ears.

Murong Ziyue, oh Murong Ziyue.

For all your intelligence from a young age, you’ve committed a grave taboo.

Friends—such a luxury, do you really think you deserve to have any?

Murong Ziyue stiffened, a flash of anger crossing the depths of her eyes.

At that moment, a small, delicate hand suddenly reached out from behind, resting upon the hands of Mu Chen and Murong Ziyue.

"Third Brother Mu, you’re hurting her."

Mu Chen was taken aback, the next moment, a sensation of searing heat.

Hiss—

Mu Chen let out a cold hiss, quickly retracting his hand.

A layer of blisters sprouted on the back of his hand.

Such powerful Fire Spirit.

Mu Chen glanced at Xin Lin.

In Xin Lin’s large eyes, still misted over, innocence oozed out, impenetrable at a single glance.

"Ziyue, this is my own matter, and I will handle it."

Xin Lin winked at Murong Ziyue and stepped forward.

"Isn’t it just a test of the Dark Spirit Root you want? Why bother making such a fuss. Bai You, did you not just say that I lack the strength to be first place in the Zixiao Palace Exam? But what if I prove you wrong?"

Xin Lin eyed Bai You.

"What a joke. If you have that strength, I, Bai You, will let you deal with me as you please! However, if you don’t, then leave Qingtian Academy, and never practice Spirit Cultivation or martial arts again in your lifetime."

Bai You blurted it out before Sikong Ran at her side could stop her, but it was already too late.

Bai You knew too well the extent of Xin Lin’s abilities.

If it weren’t for that coffin in Luoyin Ghost Cave, she would have died countless times already.

She must have had the devil’s luck to have escaped from Luoyin Ghost Cave.

The human Five Meridians are innate.

Unless one defies the heavens, it’s impossible for them to grow back.

The Five Meridians are the foundation of the Dark Spirit Root; without them, Xin Lin would never be able to cultivate True Qi, nor could she ever cultivate real Spirit Art!

That was what Bai You believed and what Sikong Ran believed as well.

"Alright, may I ask for the inconvenience of someone bearing witness."

Xin Lin spoke out loud.

"Hold on." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Sikong Ran said with a heavy voice.

"The one who wronged you was me, it has nothing to do with Youyou. The stakes of the bet cannot stand."

"Exactly, Xin Lin, Miss Bai is an honored guest of Longteng, and if anything were to happen to her, not just you, but even if you add your foolish father to the equation, it wouldn’t be enough to make amends. Besides, new students are supposed to be tested for class assignment anyway; you would be tested whether you like it or not."

Long Qingchen chimed in from the side.

"Third Prince, do you think I am contending with her merely over a moment of pride? I have been awarded the title of first place in the Imperial Examination by the Emperor himself. This is for the honor of the Emperor, for the honor of Longteng, and also for the honor of other students in the Imperial Examination."

Xin Lin bowed her hands in greeting.

"Well said, Xin Lin’s position as first place in the Imperial Examination was witnessed by several of us. Surely we cannot let a guest casually insult someone without consequences; there must be an apology made."

Cheng Xingwu and his crowd also expressed their dissatisfaction.

Regardless of the Dark Spirit Root, Xin Lin defeating Lin Zhong, repelling Jin Chen, and ultimately overcoming Zhang Zhiqing were all witnessed firsthand by them.

"Indeed, an apology is in order!"

Little Xinzhuo and others echoed along.

"There’s no need for an apology. I don’t want anything else, but if I prove my strength, I only want Bai You to act like a dog and crawl around Qingtian Academy once."

Xin Lin chuckled dryly and spoke in a relaxed manner.
