Chapter 243: Chapter 242 Ning Luoxi Cried

"Lin Tian, if you dare take another half step forward, I’ll kill you!" Ning Luoxi’s voice, imbued with a chilling murderous intent that barely concealed a hint of panic, echoed out. Girls always feel the least secure at times like this.

A girl constantly shouting about fighting and killing, is that really okay? Lin Tian pinched the clothes still carrying the scent of Ning Luoxi’s sweat and threw them onto the bed, then trying to keep a serious demeanor, he said, "Comrade Ning Luoxi, I just came back to seriously tell you that the Second Miss’s underwear might not suit you. I suggest you wear Mrs. Xiao’s."

With those words, silence fell in the bathroom. Lin Tian thought maybe there was hope for this girl, that she might actually take someone else’s advice. But before he could finish the thought, a loud shout came from the bathroom, "Get out!"

Then another "hidden weapon" flew out at great speed, aiming straight for Lin Tian’s mouth. This "hidden weapon" was no bigger than a palm, pink in color; Lin Tian had no idea what it was but caught Ning Luoxi’s second hidden weapon on reflex.

But this "hidden weapon" felt wet and slippery in his hands. Lin Tian reflexively squeezed it a few times before taking a closer look. Goddamn it, it was a bar of soap! Ning Luoxi actually threw a soap at me! Where’s your decency? If anyone’s to throw, it should be me throwing things.

Lin Tian casually tossed the soap back into the bathroom, which provoked another furious "I’ll kill you" from Ning Luoxi. This woman was getting too used to shouting like that – it’s a bad habit. Lin Tian turned around and went downstairs, where only Xiao Manxuan and Zhang Lingyu were at the dining table, the two girls chatting merrily, pulling this way and that. The Miss was nowhere to be seen.

"Where’s the Miss? It’s rare for her to come home, and she’s gone out again?" Lin Tian casually sat at the dining table and asked curiously.

"Nope, she went to get clothes for Sister Luoxi," Xiao Manxuan turned and answered.

Getting clothes? Lin Tian instinctively thought of underwear and mused internally, thinking straightforward as usual, damned if I’m any gentleman! Curiously, he asked, "Um... whose clothes was she getting?"

He originally meant to say to be mindful of Ning Luoxi’s size, lest it be unsuitable, but facing two beautiful women, he couldn’t speak too bluntly and merely hinted vaguely. However, Lin Tian once again underestimated a woman’s terrifying sixth sense; both women caught on immediately, their eyes wary, evidently having fully understood the implications of his words.

"Er, just saying, just listen and let it go," Lin Tian touched his nose and said innocently.

Ning Luoxi’s bath lasted thirty minutes and she still hadn’t appeared. Both Xiao Manxuan and Zhang Lingyu acted as if this were only natural. Are women’s baths really this complicated? Lin Tian couldn’t understand.

Another ten minutes passed, and Ning Luoxi and the Miss finally came downstairs. The little girl had been washing for almost an hour, akin to taking a one-hour rest. Not only could she walk, but she also looked radiant and vigorous. Body Technique Cultivators recover quickly; Lin Tian figured she was probably ready for another round.

When the little girl came over, she emitted a fresh scent, and her fair, delicate skin turned rosy white from the hot water, casting a captivating glow. A few wet strands clung to her neck, looking less fierce and more delicate.

Like a goddess emerging from water, a classic beauty fresh from the bath, Lin Tian couldn’t help but take a few extra looks. However, it seemed the girls had agreed on their plan, all sitting on the other side of the dining table, leaving him all alone.

Lin Tian initially wanted to grumble a few words, but then he realized the perk of such seating – at least he could enjoy a meal while appreciating the beauty of four elegant ladies dining, which was a kind of artistic enjoyment in itself.

The four ladies intended to give Lin Tian a little punishment, yet, unbeknownst to them, they provided him with a delightful dinner show.

"Lin Tian, Sister Song and Boss Wan are coming over this weekend, and they specifically asked to see you, so don’t go running off somewhere," Miss said suddenly after dinner.

"Oh, let them come. I’ve been missing Brother Wan too. Did you come back tonight just to tell me this?" Lin Tian put down his rice bowl, asking contently.

Miss glanced at him and chuckled, "This is my house, can’t I come back? Besides, I came back to see if you’ve been bullying Xuanxuan. Your recent behavior hasn’t been very reassuring."

The way she spoke made it sound like I’d do something to your sister. We’re the only two people in this entire villa, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call us a solitary man and woman. If I were going to do anything, I would’ve done it long before you came back, Lin Tian thought, dismissing her words.

"Miss, I’m the only man in the house now, and there are four women. It’s me who should be worried. What if you have designs on me? I really wouldn’t be able to resist. Neither heaven nor earth would answer my calls," Lin Tian said with feigned innocence.

"Your skin is thicker than a city wall; I can’t believe you came up with that," Miss shot back sharply.

"Thank you for the compliment," Lin Tian said earnestly.

Miss felt powerless and realized she had no way to deal with him. Despite being quite capable and even making a name for himself in the Jade Industry, he never acted like a celebrity. Perhaps that was what made him charming? Talented but not arrogant, acting nonchalant even after doing the most astonishing things.

She imagined Lin Tian as a grand master, proud and distant. Comparing that to the current Lin Tian, she preferred him now, without any pretense or feigned grace, just being natural. That was the real Lin Tian, and Xiao Manxue suddenly realized she understood him better.

"Miss, you’re looking at me like that, do you have any designs? If you want to warm the bed tonight, just say it. As the Xiao Family’s bodyguard, I am always ready to devote myself to the Xiao Family, to Miss and the Second Miss, and I won’t frown about it," Lin Tian exaggeratedly claimed.

The four women were all taken aback. Who offers themselves so righteously? Miss’s face turned red, but she quickly recovered and diverted the topic, "You, you get ready to take Miss Luoxi home. It’s rare for her to visit, and she has only tonight left to spend with her mother."

It seemed Miss Luoxi and Miss had a good talk upstairs just before. Although her words could sound like she was rushing a guest, she spoke them sincerely, for she too was often in such situations of brief reunions and long separations, and knew all too well how painful it could be.

"Alright," Lin Tian put away his jokes and nodded in agreement.

Packing up the things Ning Luoxi had bought during shopping, Lin Tian drove her back to the faculty apartment. It was already past eight in the evening, and the lights were on everywhere. Halfway through, Fang Ming called, and Lin Tian said he was already on the way, just minutes away.

Through the journey, Ning Luoxi remained silent. When they reached the faculty apartment, Fang Ming was already waiting under the stairs, her silhouette looking a bit lonely under the streetlight.

Seeing Fang Ming under the streetlight, Ning Luoxi’s body shivered, her eyes became misty, and a clear tear rolled down.
