Slaughter That Beast a Thousand Times Over

"Swish"

A superimposed figure fell into the forest.

They flew through the branches, startling birds into flight, and the two rolled around on the hillside.

Since both of them were cultivators, they were unharmed when they stopped, except that their clothes were torn in many places.

"Girl, are you alright?"

Jiang Lin accidentally bumped his lower back on a rock while rolling down the hillside, and it hurt a little...

"You... you Flower-Picking Thief, what are you going to do to me?"

The girl, supported by Jiang Lin, had slightly flushed cheeks, her hands tightly wrapped around her chest, her head turned to the side, and she even closed her eyes...

But the moment I close my eyes, all I see is that image of him holding me protectively in his arms in the air.

Those firm pectoral muscles, that broad chest, and that damnably Yasashi made the girl's face flush instantly...

What should I do if he tries to do something to me?

Should I resist?

If the opponent's cultivation level is higher than mine, and I can't resist them, then there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Yes! That's right!

It's not that I didn't want to resist, but I was injured, and my opponent was only at the Dragon Gate Realm; I couldn't resist.

"I... I'm telling you, nobody comes here. Even if I shout, nobody will hear me. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're handsome."

"..."

Jiang Lin's brows twitched slightly as he looked at the girl beneath him.

Why do I feel like what this girl is saying is so ambiguous...?

"Don't worry, young lady, I'm a good person."

Propelling himself forward, Jiang Lin surveyed his surroundings.

The surroundings looked like an ordinary forest, but the Spiritual Power was extremely abundant, and spiritual flowers and herbs were growing wildly. If it weren't for the possibility that the other party might chase after them at any moment, they would have already started harvesting them...

"Huh? Aren't you going to do anything to me?"

Feeling the handsome Flower-Picking Thief on top of her get up, the girl slowly opened her eyes.

Looking at Jiang Lin's handsome face...

So handsome...

Jiang Lin shook his head and gave a professional answer, "Your fellow disciples might be catching up soon, how could I possibly do anything to you, young lady?"

"No, it won't."

"Um?"

"I am Inner Disciple. Only the Jade Token I possess allows me to enter the Empty Spirit Mountain Range. Outer disciples cannot enter."

"Then they'll definitely notify the elders or something, and I might be being hunted down right now."

"No, that won't work. It takes at least an incense stick's time for an outer disciple to notify an inner disciple. Besides, we're halfway up the main peak. I know a cave there; it's very well hidden."

"???"

Jiang Lin was momentarily stunned.

That's not right.

I must be Flower-Picking Thief, right?

That's right... Even though I've never picked flowers, I am Flower-Picking Thief.

But why is this girl being so enthusiastic?

"Girl, listen to me, I think you might have some misunderstanding about me..."

"Oh dear! What misunderstanding? Are you going to accept my offer or not? Although I'm Inner Disciple, I'm only at the Cave Mansion Realm. I can't beat you."

"I..."

"If you're worried, you can seal my Spiritual Apertures. There are still vines over there."

"..."

"Don't worry, although you took my innocence today, I won't hate you. Blame it on my own good looks that I fell into your hands..."

Having said that, as if she had made a very important decision, the girl opened her arms, closed her eyes, and lay down directly on the grass.

"Come on! I'll put up a token resistance!"

"..."

For some reason, Jiang Lin had a feeling.

I feel like if I do anything right now, I'd be a beast, but if I don't do anything, I'd be worse than a beast...

But! I would never do that!

If I actually did that, wouldn't that just prove I really am Flower-Picking Thief?

"Girl!"

"Be gentle..."

"Listen to me!"

"I have no experience..."

"I'm not that kind of man!"

"?"

"Although the world may misunderstand me, I am a good person! A pure-hearted person!"

The girl sat up abruptly. "You... you think I'm not pretty enough!"

"No! You have delicate features, much prettier than those internet celebrity faces."

"So you think I'm too young!"

Jiang Lin narrowed his eyes and glanced down at the girl's neck. "It's nothing! I've seen even smaller ones!"

"Then why!"

"Feel sorry..."

Jiang Lin shook his head, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and spoke in a deep voice.

"I'm Pure Love Advocate!"

"You beast! You pervert! What kind of Flower-Picking Thief are you! What kind of man are you!"

After saying that, the girl grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at Jiang Lin, then covered her face and ran away... tears streaming down her face as she ran...

Looking in the direction the girl left, Jiang Lin felt, for some reason, as if he had suddenly done something wrong...

That's not right...

I didn't do anything wrong...

But there's no time to worry about that now.

In fact, Jiang Lin regretted it quite a bit. He should have rushed out of the mountains back then; at worst, he wouldn't have participated in the Literary Gathering.

If I don't participate in the Literary Gathering, what can they do to me?

But why did I impulsively rush in like that?

Now Jiang Lin needs to figure out how to escape from the Empty Spirit Sect.

But before running...

Remembering what the girl had said about the other party not catching up so quickly, and looking at the spiritual flowers and herbs on the Empty Spirit Sect Main Peak.

Jiang Lin felt he couldn't leave empty-handed.

A girl, covering her face and crying, ran through the jungle.

Her clothes were torn when she fell through the tree branches, and further damaged when she rolled on the hillside. The hem of her skirt was also torn when she passed through the bushes.

The girl looked like she'd been... well, you know...

As the girl was running, she accidentally encountered four Inner Disciple from the same period!

"Xiao Xiao! What's wrong with you!"

Upon seeing the disheveled girl, the four disciples from the same period quickly went to greet her.

Xiao Xiao was one of the most beautiful girls among the new students of the Empty Spirit Sect. She was admired by her fellow disciples, and even some of her senior brothers would occasionally strike up a conversation with Xiao Xiao.

"Zhang San... Li Si... I... that Flower-Picking Thief... he... he actually..."

Seeing her fellow disciples and remembering how the Flower-Picking Thief had looked down on her, the girl felt a surge of grievance, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Flower-Picking Thief?!"

The group was taken aback at first, then remembered that Xiao Xiao had just been chosen as the Lu Ren to lead the people attending the Literary Gathering in today!

Could it be...?

In an instant, the group imagined Xiao Xiao leading that person into the Empty Spirit Sect, only for that person to ambush her from behind and Xiao Xiao poison her!

Then...

With a thud.

Despair seemed to have settled in everyone's hearts...

"How dare you run wild in my Empty Spirit Sect! This is outrageous!"

"Cut that beast to pieces!"

"He ruined my Xiao Xiao innocence! I'll kill him!"

Huh?

Ruin my innocence?

For a moment, Xiao Xiao was a little stunned.

He didn't ruin my reputation... he actually wanted to ruin it for me...

He meant to say he thought I wasn't pretty enough...

"Brothers! Let's go!"

"Wait a minute... it's not what you think, he..."

Just as Xiao Xiao came to her senses and was about to explain, the four of them rushed out, and at the same time, a magical firework indicating "intrusion" was launched into the air.

At the same time, within the Empty Spirit Sect Main Peak, many people raised their heads...
