Chapter 37 - 36 Miss

Chapter 37: Chapter 36 Miss

Not only was the beauty’s approach incredibly swift, but the palm she struck at Lin Tian actually emitted a faint blue glow. This spectacle short-circuited his brain even further: Could a person’s hand really glow, or were his eyes deceiving him? Lin Tian blinked several times and took a closer look, and indeed, the beauty’s palm was emitting a faint blue light.

While Lin Tian was lost in thought, the beauty’s delicate, fair palm had already landed on his chest.

"Bang!"

Following the crisp, thunderous sound, Lin Tian was sent flying, crashing onto the large bed behind him. The quilt on the bed couldn’t withstand the force of the impact and immediately tore into pieces, and the wooden bed also fell apart with a few "creak" sounds.

"Ouch, that hurts." Lin Tian, rubbing his chest, got up from the bed, the power of the beauty’s palm wasn’t as strong as a bullet; she probably didn’t use her full strength and merely intended to injure him. However, her palm force contained a sharp cutting power.

Of course, no matter how powerful it was, it couldn’t harm his zombie body. Zombies have copper skin and iron bones, impervious to blades and spears. How could he be easily injured? At most, it hurt a little.

"How... how are you unharmed?" The beauty exclaimed in utter surprise. Although she had controlled her force, that palm strike was enough to knock a person unconscious.

Yet, Lin Tian only felt pain and was otherwise fine, which couldn’t help but astonish her.

"Who exactly are you? Why can you withstand my palm force and be completely fine?" The beauty stopped attacking and voiced the doubts in her heart.

"Why should I tell you? You start with fighting and killing as soon as you come here. Also, why does your hand emit blue light, do you have some skin disease? Damn it, don’t you infect me." Lin Tian quickly grabbed a torn piece of the quilt and furiously wiped his chest.

The beauty’s face turned red with anger at his words, and she pointed at Lin Tian with a trembling finger, infuriated, "You say I have a skin disease? You... you filthy rogue, utterly ignorant! Do you even know what Ancient Martial Arts are? Truly an insult to the name of Ancient Martial Arts."

"Ancient Martial Arts? I’ve heard of that. Don’t tell me practicing Ancient Martial Arts gives you a skin disease, no way, that’s horrifying. Then, don’t come near me, I’m afraid of being infected." Lin Tian had encountered Ancient Martial Artists before; Uncle Zhao he met outside the West Garden Restaurant last time was an Ancient Martial Artist.

But Uncle Zhao’s palms didn’t glow. Perhaps his condition wasn’t severe enough, hmm, it must be that, Lin Tian thought to himself, nodding with certainty.

"You, you, you..." The beauty uttered ’you’ three times, her frustration finally easing, and she said hatefully, "Filthy rogue, you dare to insult Ancient Martial Arts, see if I don’t punish you!"

Lin Tian’s words made her teeth itch with rage; she stumbled upon an Ancient Martial Artist at the age of ten, who took note of her exceptional talents and accepted her as an in-house disciple.

Since then, she received the true teachings of that Ancient Martial Artist, practiced martial arts for more than a decade, and achieved her current success. Ancient Martial Arts were sacred in her eyes, and here Lin Tian was, suggesting that practicing them could lead to skin disease, which made the beauty seethe with fury.

"Sister, sister, where are you?" Just as she was about to attack Lin Tian again, Xiao Manxuan’s voice came from outside.

It was clear that the little girl had heard from the servants that her sister had returned, so she was searching for her.

"I don’t care who you are, put on your clothes before my little sister comes in, or I won’t let you off." The beauty halted her forward charge and warned Lin Tian.

A little sister? If Xiao Manxuan was her little sister, didn’t that make this beauty the Miss of the Xiao Family, Xiao Manxue?

Lin Tian groaned inwardly; if the beauty in front of him was indeed Miss Xiao, then the unsavory image of him holding her lace underwear would surely have left a bad impression.

Glancing at the underwear still in his hand, Lin Tian felt it burning like a hot potato and quickly tossed it away. It wasn’t that he feared Miss Xiao would give him the sack—his main concern was that the Xiao Family, in their anger, might speak to the school and cost him his chance at an education.

Studying for college was the only expectation Grandfather had of him, and not being able to provide a better life for Grandfather when he was alive was a permanent regret in Lin Tian’s heart.

Now, the only thing Lin Tian could do was to study hard, get into college, and fulfill Grandfather’s last wish before he passed, so he could walk in peace on the Naihe Bridge.

Hurrying into the bathroom, Lin Tian dressed in a matter of moments, and when he emerged, Xiao Manxuan had already come in. Miss Xiao gave him a look, gesturing for him to watch his words later.

Xiao Manxuan was stunned to see Lin Tian running out from her sister’s bathroom and looked at them in confusion. She then noticed the chaotic state of the room— the bed was collapsed, the blankets torn to shreds, and her sister’s intimate undergarments were strewn across the floor.

Anyone who saw this scene would think towards "that" and assume a wild, passionate struggle had occurred here.

"What happened here...?" Xiao Manxuan asked, confused.

Embarrassment colored Miss Xiao’s face. It was true that the hooligan before her had barged in naked, but she couldn’t reveal the whole truth.

After all, she was a girl with a thin skin— even as the president of the Xiao Group, she felt unable to voice such matters.

Lin Tian had thicker skin. His mind whirled, and he soon had an excuse at the ready, speaking with composure, "Second Miss, that was really dangerous just now."

Upon saying this, Lin Tian purposefully paused, giving Miss Xiao a start as she feared he might disclose the truth. Yet when she saw the sly smile at the corner of Lin Tian’s mouth, she realized he wouldn’t spill the beans, he was simply teasing her, getting back at her for the slap she had delivered earlier.

"Miss was practicing her martial arts in her room and mishandled her breath, causing the True Qi to run wild and collapse the bed. The situation was dire. In the nick of time, I, who heard the noise, rushed in and helped Miss regulate her meridians, stabilizing the flow of the True Qi."

Lin Tian had never trained in Ancient Martial, so he made up a mixture of truths and lies, which Xiao Manxuan, aware of his medical skills, believed without question.

"Ah, sister, are you alright now?" Xiao Manxuan asked anxiously, grabbing Miss Xiao’s hand with a nervous expression.

Xiao Manxue gave Lin Tian a concealed glare, highly dissatisfied with his made-up story about the mishandling of her breath, which only worsened her impression of him.

Even though she despised Lin Tian, she felt compelled to follow along with his version of events, "I’m fine now, don’t worry."

"Thank you, Lin Tian. You’ve helped our Xiao family out of a big problem once again," Xiao Manxuan said with playful gratitude, winking at him.

She dared to flirt with Miss right in front of her face—this little girl was getting bolder by the day.

"So you’re the new bodyguard? I would never have guessed." Xiao Manxue suddenly remembered her mother mentioning a bodyguard, but she hadn’t expected him to be so young, and still a student at that.

She already had a poor impression of Lin Tian, and seeing how young he was made her seriously doubt his capability as her sister’s bodyguard.

Xiao Manxue was already considering finding a reason to dismiss Lin Tian. A bodyguard who could be so aggressive towards his employer had no place in the Xiao family.

Unaware of the thoughts Miss had already entertained, Lin Tian still believed the situation had been smoothed over. Seeing the sisters chatting, Lin Tian nodded and left the room.
