Chapter 781: Chapter 778 Cut Off

Miss surely looked up confusedly and glanced toward the wardrobe, then draped her clothes on and slowly walked towards the wardrobe, essentially walking towards Lin Tian.

Watching Miss approaching closer and closer, Lin Tian was very anxious. Usually, it didn’t matter, but being caught by Miss hiding in Xiao Manxuan’s wardrobe, he might as well not bother showing his face again.

Lin Tian thought about whether he should just walk out boldly, since being caught would be too embarrassing anyway, given the situation had come to this.

"Bad guy..."

While Lin Tian and Miss were both nervous, Xiao Manxuan’s sleep talking suddenly started, drawing Miss’s attention away.

Xiao Manxuan demonstrated again how restless she was in her sleep. She mumbled something in her dream talk, turned over, and with one kick, sent the air-conditioning blanket Lin Tian had covered her with flying off.

Miss shook her head helplessly and stepped forward to pull the blanket back up. Although it was a smart central air-conditioning system that could adjust to the most comfortable temperature by sensing, Miss still worried about her catching cold—the old habits passed down from older generations were hard to change immediately.

With such a diversion, Miss seemed to have forgotten about the wardrobe. She really didn’t expect Lin Tian to be hiding inside and thought it was merely an incidental noise.

She tidied up her clothes and walked towards the bathroom, and soon the sound of water running could be heard, indicating she had started taking a shower.

Lin Tian watched as Miss walked into the bathroom to shower, finally feeling relieved, grateful he hadn’t been caught red-handed. Now was his chance to leave the room; the sound of the water masked other noises, which gave Lin Tian the perfect cover to slip out silently. Although Miss was an Ancient Martial Artist, with the noise of water providing cover, she surely couldn’t detect his movement, could she?

He gently pushed open the wardrobe and moved slightly towards the balcony window. Just as he was about to reach the window, for some reason, Miss suddenly appeared at the bathroom door wearing her bathrobe.

"Stop!" Miss called out sharply, giving Lin Tian a big scare.

However, since she had already found him, Lin Tian felt somewhat relieved and stopped calmly. He wasn’t the kind of person who got scared easily, and besides, he hadn’t done anything wrong. As the saying goes, "A clean hand wants no washing." Uh, though he did accidentally grab Xiao Manxuan’s hand, that unconscious action couldn’t really be considered misbehaving, could it?

Lin Tian turned to face Miss, still with a smile on his face.

"Lin Tian, I knew it was you!" Miss said, suppressing her anger.

Hearing her say that, Lin Tian realized he had fallen right into the little girl’s trap. Miss had intentionally gone into the bathroom, pretending to shower, just to make Lin Tian come out and catch him red-handed.

"Uh, Miss, I can explain this," Lin Tian attempted to explain.

"Running into Xuanxuan’s room in the middle of the night, you big pervert, explain it to my longsword!" Miss didn’t give Lin Tian a chance to explain, since Lin Tian’s pervert behaviors had a precedent.

She waved her hand, and a longsword suddenly appeared in her grasp, though it was unclear where the longsword had been hidden originally.

"Stop..." Lin Tian quickly raised his hand and shouted stop. Miss was furious, likely not willing to listen to any explanation. He thought it best to delay until tomorrow morning when she might be calmer.

With an idea in mind, he intentionally chuckled and said, "Miss, if you want to fight me, you better think it through. If I remember correctly, you just took off your underwear. Fighting with me while only wearing a bathrobe—if I accidentally rip it, you’ll have to face me stark naked."

"You... you big pervert!" Miss paused, and her intended step forward indeed halted.

Thinking of Lin Tian hiding in the wardrobe, Miss felt both embarrassed and annoyed. Yet, she wasn’t wearing underwear and indeed feared the situation Lin Tian described could occur; if her robe tore, it would really be "meeting in truth."

Taking advantage of the moment Miss hesitated, Lin Tian moved swiftly and leaped out the window. By the time Miss came back to her senses, he was already beyond the balcony.

"Lin Tian, stop right there!" Miss shouted furiously, intending to chase him with her sword.

But Lin Tian’s voice floated back, "Miss, please keep your voice down, don’t wake up Second Miss. It’s too late tonight, I’ll explain everything to you tomorrow morning. After you hear my explanation, If you want to beat or kill me, I won’t dodge."

Upon hearing this, Miss indeed turned to glance at her younger sister in bed and, finding her still asleep, looked back at the balcony only to find Lin Tian’s figure gone; she could only stomp her feet in frustration.

"Damn you, let’s see how you explain tomorrow, no matter what you say, I’ll cut you to pieces!" Miss was extremely angry, repeatedly cursing him as a jerk.

She turned her head and again noticed the large wardrobe. Still furious, her face flushed again, and she cursed a few more times, calling him a big pervert, before going into the bathroom to take a bath.

In the bedroom on the second floor, Lin Tian had returned to his room. He waited a while and, seeing that Miss had not chased after him, he sighed in relief. The little girl had a fiery temper, and her Sword Qi was immensely powerful; a wrong move could demolish the villa.

Lin Tian went into the bathroom, took a bath, and then began his nightly training, and as usual, took out the Crescent Blade and started the Blood Sacrifice.

The Crescent Blade had changed color. Originally pure moon-white, it now had streaks of blood following the commencement of the Blood Sacrifice. An eerie blood hue shone through its pale color, though, it was still faint.

The Crescent Blade originally looked very holy, but after Lin Tian’s Blood Sacrifice, it seemed to have been demonized. However, Lin Tian preferred its current appearance; it was too holy before, looking like a woman’s weapon. Now, it seemed more eye-pleasing.

After finishing the ritual, Lin Tian went to sleep, leaving how to explain to Miss for tomorrow’s concern.

Based on past experiences, Lin Tian would usually sleep until dawn, then Xiao Manxuan, that little girl, would come down and knock on the door.

Half-awake, Lin Tian wasn’t fully conscious and felt a presence standing in front of his bed. Opening his eyes, he was first dazzled by the sunlight through the window. Amid the morning light, indeed, there was a silhouette of a woman.

"Damn, am I dreaming of spring, or what woman would come to my room?" he thought hazily. Kikuchi Mika might do such a thing, but Japanese women are generally obedient, and without agreement, she wouldn’t enter.

Unable to figure out who it could be, Lin Tian decided to treat it as a spring dream and was about to turn over and resume sleeping, but then the silhouette let out a displeased snort. The snort was familiar, and the image of Miss immediately came to his mind.

Miss? Lin Tian felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, waking his mind instantly as he burst open his eyes.

Standing there, indeed, was Miss, her face emotionless, clearly here over last night’s incident. Letting Miss rush into a young man’s room showed her anger was not small.

Lin Tian tried to sit up, but a shiny long sword was pressing against his abdomen, as if the slightest movement would make the sword cut deeper!
