Lin Xia Bullied, Lin Tianci's Killing Intent Soared to the Heavens!!

The necklace was naturally something Lin Tianci had gone back to buy later, after casually finding an excuse.

He had merely revealed a trace of his aura, yet it had scared the owner so badly that he gave up any thought of overcharging him and sold it to Lin Tianci at the normal price.

A hint of reluctance flashed through Qing Tan's eyes. "Brother Tianci, it's too expensive. You should return it."

"I've already bought it. If you don't want it, I'll have no choice but to throw it away." Lin Tianci pretended to toss it.

Qing Tan panicked at once and hurriedly reached out to snatch the necklace from Lin Tianci's hand.

But when Qing Tan caught the fleeting glint of mischief in Lin Tianci's eyes, she realized that she had been tricked.

She could not help pouting, yet her heart was overflowing with sweetness.

This necklace cost as much as a Second-Grade Medicinal Pill. Brother Tianci had bought it for her without even blinking.

Qing Tan was such a young girl, yet she was so easy to fool, Lin Tianci thought. A necklace worth only Five Copper Coins was enough to make her this happy.

"Brother Tianci, what do you want? I'll buy it for you." Qing Tan touched the necklace around her neck and spoke.

"There's nothing I need." Lin Tianci shook his head.

But Qing Tan refused to let the matter go and dragged Lin Tianci from stall to stall without stopping.

However, just as Lin Tianci had said, there was indeed nothing at these stalls that he particularly needed.

After all, there was no need for a grown man like him to wear accessories, and as for cultivation supplies...

The Lin Family provided Lin Tianci with those. Besides, now that he had the system's returns, he had even less desire for all kinds of cultivation resources.

As for Cultivation Techniques and martial arts, a small place like Qingyang Town naturally could not have anything particularly advanced. Most were merely First Grade or Second Grade.

Even if such low-grade martial arts were given to Lin Tianci for free, he would not even spare them a glance.

What was more, Cultivation Techniques and martial arts were quite expensive, with some even requiring Yang Yuan Stones for trade.

"Brother Tianci, is there really nothing at all that you lack?" Qing Tan pouted and asked.

Lin Tianci had given her such a precious gift. If she did not give him something in return, she would feel guilty about it.

"If you're asking whether there's anything I lack, there really is." Lin Tianci stroked his chin as though deep in thought.

"What?" Qing Tan's eyes lit up as she hurriedly asked.

"What I lack is actually very simple. Qing Tan can give it to me easily."

"Brother Tianci, tell me already." Qing Tan urged him.

"What I lack is a kiss from you, Qing Tan." Lin Tianci looked at Qing Tan's rosy lips as he spoke.

"Brother Tianci, there are so many people here." Qing Tan blushed and immediately turned her gaze away.

"Don't worry, I'm watching. No one will notice us." Lin Tianci shifted slightly, blocking most people's line of sight.

Qing Tan's pretty face reddened all the way to her earlobes. Still, upon hearing that, she stood on tiptoe and lightly pressed her lips to Lin Tianci's.

Then, as if she had done something shameful, she buried her head in Lin Tianci's chest.

Who would have thought that the future Lord of Darkness could have such a shy side? If word of this got out someday, it would probably leave countless people dumbfounded.

Watching this scene, Lin Tianci found it rather amusing.

"Brother Tianci, what are you saying?" Qing Tan's bell-like voice came faintly from Lin Tianci's chest.

"Nothing. Let's keep shopping." Lin Tianci patted Qing Tan's little head as he spoke.

Qing Tan nodded slightly.

Afterward, Lin Tianci and Qing Tan continued wandering about, stopping from time to time.

Since it was rare for him to be in the mood to visit the Marketplace, Lin Tianci made several purchases and bought quite a few things.

The family had valued him greatly lately, and he had also taken over Blazing Flame Manor, so Lin Tianci was not short on money. Whenever he saw something suitable, he bought it outright.

Some of the things were for his Younger Sister, Lin Xia, while others were for his parents.

Qing Tan obediently stayed by Lin Tianci's side, seriously helping him pick out gifts.

When they reached the Marketplace's main street, a trace of exhaustion appeared on Qing Tan's face.

It was clear that after shopping for an entire afternoon, the Young Girl's strength had finally given out.

"If Qing Tan is tired, then let's head back first." Lin Tianci had naturally noticed everything and spoke.

"If Qing Tan likes the atmosphere here, we can come and have fun more often in the future."

"It's fine. I can keep Brother Tianci company for a little longer." Qing Tan shook her head.

"I've basically bought everything I needed. There's no point in shopping anymore, and it's getting late." Lin Tianci said.

Only then did Qing Tan lightly nod her smooth chin.

The two of them then prepared to leave.

At that moment, Qing Tan suddenly released Lin Tianci's hand and tugged at his sleeve.

"Hm?" Lin Tianci looked puzzled, then followed Qing Tan's gaze.

Lin Tianci's gaze froze. At the other end of the street, a rather familiar figure hurriedly rushed out.

That figure was Lin Shan.

"What is this guy doing at the Marketplace too?" Lin Tianci narrowed his eyes.

With his eyesight, he could naturally see that Lin Shan was in a sorry state. His face was bruised and swollen, and one of his eye sockets had puffed up.

He had obviously been beaten.

Judging by Lin Shan's appearance, he was clearly looking for help. Yet Lin Tianci did not see anyone chasing after him.

When Lin Tianci saw Lin Shan, the latter also noticed Lin Tianci and Qing Tan beside him.

A flash of astonishment first appeared in his eyes, then turned into delight. His feet instinctively stepped forward, as though he wanted to approach them.

But then, as if remembering something, he stopped where he was. An awkward expression appeared on his face, and his open mouth closed again.

Lin Tianci frowned slightly. Lin Shan's hesitant manner left him somewhat speechless.

He pulled Qing Tan toward Lin Shan and asked, "What happened?"

Lin Shan looked at Lin Tianci, then at Qing Tan, who was obediently following behind him. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke.

"We agreed to visit the Marketplace today, but we ran into the Xie Family Juniors. They provoked us with their words, and Sister Lin Xia couldn't stand it, so she argued with them. In the end, they bullied her."

"They outnumbered us..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianci's gaze instantly turned sharp, and Killing Intent erupted from his body.

Lin Tianci directly cut Lin Shan off. "Shut up. Take me there immediately!"
