Chapter 491: Chapter 488: Who is Seeking Death?

However, this threat was negligible to Lin Tian. Miss coming or not, she couldn’t escape the clutches of his charm—not to mention his actual grasp.

Ning Luoxi was just meters away moments ago, witnessing Xiao Manxuan’s sneak attack on Lin Tian, and she felt as though she’d experienced it herself.

Ning Luoxi’s cheeks turned slightly red, her lips tightly pursed, her heart beating faster than ever before. Even repeated attempts to calm herself with her internal strength had no effect.

Li Yue, standing beside her, had already covered her mouth in shock, thinking to herself, "This is crazy, crazy! Xiao Manxuan is really bold, and Lin Tian’s skin is so thick. He speaks so recklessly. Does he think the rest of us don’t exist?"

Being a maiden herself, never having been in a relationship, let alone initiating a kiss, she, though a Gu Girl and not bound by conventional etiquettes, still blushed at the scene.

"You jerk, are you trying to bully me again!" Xiao Manxuan’s petulance was all an act. As Lin Tian gazed at her, she couldn’t help but lower her head and speak softly.

Lin Tian felt embarrassed. She had given him just a grateful peck, yet he had thought to take advantage of the moment. It did equate to bullying her, though it was an attempted crime.

But his face as thick as a city wall, he smirked, "Well, to be fair, why don’t you bully me back?"

"You...you wish. I don’t want to— that was my first kiss," Xiao Manxuan said softly.

First kiss? Lin Tian was stunned. Last time Miss also said it was her first kiss. To think he had taken both sisters’ first kisses.

"Was that your first kiss?" Xiao Manxuan asked in an even smaller voice.

Lin Tian was embarrassed once again. His first kiss had gone to her sister, and he didn’t have another first kiss to give. The answer was tricky now. If he said it wasn’t, the little girl might feel hurt. Telling the truth was out of the question, as that was her own sister.

Such questions always gave men headaches, like when women ask, "If your mom and wife were both drowning, who would you save first?" Women always come up with all sorts of strange questions that drive men mad.

"You don’t have to answer that, whether it was or wasn’t. I have no regrets; just stay safe for me, without putting yourself in danger for my sake, and I’ll be at peace," Xiao Manxuan said tenderly, her tone resolute.

Lin Tian was deeply moved. He stopped his teasing, and said earnestly, "Second Miss, don’t forget, my skills render me invulnerable to blades and bullets. A mere bullet could not harm me. Even if it happened again, ten times, I would still take the bullets for you, even if it really killed me..."

Xiao Manxuan covered his mouth quickly, saying anxiously, "Don’t say that, I won’t let you die..."

"Cough cough..." Ning Luoxi suddenly coughed twice, interrupting their conversation, "Can you let us go before continuing to talk? Lin Tian, you are doing this on purpose, aren’t you!"

She intervened, reminding him as she couldn’t bear to watch him go on.

Xiao Manxuan let out a scream of realization that Ning Luoxi and Li Yue had seen the entire daring kiss. The little girl’s face once again turned beet red, and she glared fiercely at Lin Tian.

Lin Tian had no choice but to let go, releasing the two nervous women. Xiao Manxuan and Ning Luoxi quickly stepped back as if avoiding a predator, leaving Lin Tian quite frustrated.

"Mr. Lin, this isn’t a place for dalliances. It’s better to deal with the Soul-devouring Gu and the enemies sooner," Li Qingyun said very directly.

She saw Lin Tian’s unusual behavior just now rather indifferently, as someone who had been through it all and seen every affectionate scene imaginable.

It was only then that Lin Tian remembered he was still under the enemy’s gun, and kissing was indeed a life-risking move. But he had already locked on the sniper’s position. Kissing Xiao Manxuan or even kissing Ning Luoxi would not have been a problem.

If the old man was scared of a mere sniper, he might as well have given himself up to the Heavenly Master Girl to be taken away. What’s the point of being a zombie, Lin Tian thought.

"What should we do with this Soul-devouring Gu?" Li Yue asked, pointing at the tiny bug on the wall of the pottery jar.

At that moment, the Soul-devouring Gu had climbed to half the height of the pottery jar, but it had stopped because Lin Tian moved. Li Qingyun had once said that immature Soul-devouring Gu, if separated from their host for too long, would die, thus losing their medicinal value. They could only survive for a while if they stayed inside the black pottery container.

"Just take it inside," Lin Tian said.

"I’ve said that the Soul-devouring Gu releases a strong corrosive poison that instantly melts skin and burrow into a person’s body, rendering anyone who touches it in danger. Contact with other objects might cause it to choose death, and a dead Soul-devouring Gu is useless," Li Qingyun refused.

Her words had just ended when her brow suddenly furrowed. Lin Tian, with sharper senses, of course, noticed that the enemy sniper had fired again. Lin Tian squinted his eyes, his super vision scanning over—it was the same sniper who had shot at Xiao Manxuan, the one Lin Tian had Thunder Wolf leave alive.

Lin Tian hadn’t dealt with him yet, but he dared to fire again. This time, the sniper was aiming at the pottery jar, obviously finding it difficult to kill people, so he turned to destroying the Soul-devouring Gu.

Without time to alert Li Qingyun, in the stunned gaze of everyone, Lin Tian’s left hand directly pinched the mung bean-sized Soul-devouring Gu and threw it into the pottery jar.

At the same time, his body swayed, and his right hand swiftly caught the bullet flying toward them.

A flash of blue light passed through Lin Tian’s eyes as he looked coldly in the direction the bullet had come from. Daring to shoot at the Second Miss, he would make their life a living hell!

He merely stepped out, and his figure had already disappeared from everyone’s sight, leaving only Ning Luoxi able to clearly see his movement.

To Xiao Manxuan and Li Qingyun, it seemed like Lin Tian had teleported, vanishing without a trace.

Lin Tian leaped forward through the ruins, his super-vision firmly locked on the sniper a kilometer away. The sniper, sensing the danger, fired two more shots in quick succession, but these were random shots. He couldn’t see where Lin Tian was at all, hitting nothing but air.

A kilometer away, there was a derelict building, with the sniper on its roof. He was wearing headphones, seemingly receiving orders, and nimbly started to pack up his gun and slung it over his back.

Arriving at the edge of the roof, a rope was already prepared. He clipped on the safety hook, flipped the middle finger towards the distant firelight, and cursed, "Sly Huaxia pigs, I’ll play with you again next time."

With that, he leaped from the roof and quickly slid down, believing that at such a distance, even if spotted, he could still retreat successfully.

He soon reached the ground and was about to flee, but a figure suddenly appeared in front of him—it was Lin Tian.

"Dammit!" the sniper cursed, rapidly pulling out the handgun from his waist.
