After Transmigrating into a Book, I Was Entangled by a Crazy and Beautiful Villain - Chapter 22.2

Song Linlin was stunned. As soon as the door opened, she saw a group of people holding weapons pointed right at her. The others couldn’t see Chi Qianning. Both inside and outside the door fell silent simultaneously.

Facing such a large group of people holding weapons and looking nervous and clearly defensive towards her, Song Linlin forced herself to straighten her back, looked up at a forty-five-degree angle, and gave them a seemingly profound and unfathomable image.

“Hmph, what are you looking at?”

“Look again and I’ll chop off your heads!”

Song Linlin curled her toes, enduring the embarrassment as she finished these two sentences, her inner self terrified.

She really couldn’t keep up the act. She felt she was about to be exposed the next moment, so she quickly grabbed her sword and dashed away, looking like she was about to engage in a massive battle.

“Senior Sister Ye, I’m here to help!”

Amidst the looks of surprise, confusion, and nervousness from the crowd, Song Linlin ran with the same vigor she used for an 800-meter race, quickly rushing into the building that was clearly the main hall.

It was only when she entered the building that Song Linlin finally heard the sounds of weapons clashing. At this moment, Ye Tingran was clearly struggling to fend off attacks from Xing Jiu.

The two inside the room naturally heard the sounds from outside. Only the sounds from inside could not be transmitted out. After hearing a loud crash, Ye Tingran soon heard Song Linlin’s voice.

She initially thought she was hallucinating, but the next moment, Song Linlin pushed open the door and rushed into the battle scene.

“Junior Sister Song?! Why are you here!”

Ye Tingran blocked Xing Jiu’s attack and instinctively retreated a few steps. Seeing Song Linlin suddenly rushing in, she didn’t feel surprised, but rather felt a headache.

Currently, Ye Tingran herself could barely resist Xing Jiu’s attacks. If Song Linlin suddenly ran over, wouldn’t that just be getting in the way? She would have to be distracted to protect her.

“Don’t mess around, go back quickly!” Ye Tingran shouted at Song Linlin by the door.

Xing Jiu naturally also noticed the person who suddenly rushed in. He was initially a little worried that this person who dared to intrude into Luofeng Temple alone would be as difficult to deal with as Ye Tingran, but after taking a look, he immediately relaxed.

The person in front of him was clearly a young person fresh out of the gate. When their eyes met his, she was even scared to retreat half a step, looking timid and shrinking back, clearly a rookie he didn’t need to worry about.

Xing Jiu sneered and looked at Song Linlin cruelly. “Hmph, since you’ve come, still trying to leave? Then stay here forever!”

“Hiss—”

Song Linlin subconsciously drew a sharp breath. Based on Shen Jin’s description, Xing Jiu should be a massive and burly fellow. Now that she saw him in person, she estimated his height was definitely over two meters. He was muscular, practically like a gorilla.

In contrast, Ye Tingran, who was defending against his attacks, was not short, at least 170cm, but next to someone with Xing Jiu’s physique, she looked fragile and small, not to mention Song Linlin, who was even shorter than Ye Tingran.

She felt like this big guy could crush two of her with one punch.

Song Linlin was definitely panicked. Her gaze darted back, looking for Chi Qianning’s figure. She had run too fast just now and seemed to have left Chi Qianning at the door, rushing in by herself.

This was too impulsive!

Song Linlin really didn’t dare to stay here without Chi Qianning present.

However, when she looked back, she didn’t see the other party’s shadow at the door. There was only a solitary door lying on the ground, and Chi Qianning was nowhere to be seen at the entrance.

Song Linlin: Where is she?!!!

At this moment, Song Linlin felt like dying. No way? She didn’t leave because I ran ahead without waiting for her, did she?!

“What are you looking at?” Chi Qianning’s voice suddenly came from the side.

Song Linlin was like someone who had found a life raft. She immediately turned her head to look in the direction the voice came from. She saw Chi Qianning sitting leisurely on a wooden chair by the side of the main hall. Her elbow rested on a nearby table, and she was propping up her chin with one hand, looking very bored.

So she was here. In her panic, Song Linlin had forgotten that the other party could ‘flash’. The worst-case scenario hadn’t happened, which gave her a little more courage.

“Wh-what should we do now?”

Song Linlin looked at her, asking nervously. Her palm gripping the sword hilt was sweating. She switched hands holding the sword, wiping her sweaty hand on her clothes.

“What are you afraid of?”

Chi Qianning spoke lightly, her tone full of disdain. “Just charge in. Opponents with large physiques are actually easier to deal with.”

“No, I still don’t dare…”

Song Linlin switched the sword back to her more commonly used hand. Not far away, Xing Jiu and Ye Tingran had already started fighting again. Their exchange was very intense, with continuous sounds of weapons clashing.

Xing Jiu didn’t even bother to spare a glance for Song Linlin. He used his signature moves against Ye Tingran. Every attack was fierce and heavy. With his huge physique, his stamina was naturally better than Ye Tingran’s, and he seemed intent on dragging out the fight to exhaust Ye Tingran.

As for Song Linlin, once he dealt with Ye Tingran, it would naturally be her turn.

Seeing Song Linlin standing still for a long time, Chi Qianning really couldn’t stand it anymore and decided to actively make her take the first step.

“Get ready, let’s go.”

After saying that, she didn’t wait to see if Song Linlin was truly ready. She lightly waved her finger. Before Song Linlin could react at all, she felt a force appear behind her. She couldn’t even control her body and was forcibly pushed forward quickly by that force.

“Waaah!”

Song Linlin held her sword, one hundred percent unwilling, but to outsiders, it clearly looked like Song Linlin herself was quickly charging towards the two people fighting not far away.

When Xing Jiu saw that the girl who was too scared to move earlier actually had the courage to charge at him with a sword, he immediately felt she was overestimating herself. He raised his large broadsword and swung it forcefully in the direction Song Linlin was rushing from.

“Junior Sister Song, get out of the way!” Ye Tingran warned Song Linlin.

Watching herself get closer and closer to the tip of the opponent’s blade, Xing Jiu’s movements were fast. With Song Linlin’s previous strength, she would have been 100% unable to dodge this slash, and the consequences would naturally not be pretty.

Yet, Song Linlin clearly saw the trajectory of his blade movement. She could even judge in her mind where the blade would strike next. Everything in front of her seemed to have turned into a stop-motion animation, slowing down. She instinctively shifted to the right, and the blade grazed past the top of her head without cutting a single strand of hair.

This movement seemed very slow to her, but to outsiders, it happened in a flash of lightning. Song Linlin had indeed dodged it very easily.

This time, not only Xing Jiu and Ye Tingran were stunned, but Song Linlin herself was also shocked.

Oh my god! How did I become so good?!

Song Linlin realized her perception had undergone a transformation, greatly improved. She thought for a moment and understood why.

Another benefit of dual cultivation with a being with a powerful Divine Soul had manifested. Because the difference between their Divine Souls was too great, Song Linlin benefited from the other party. After their Divine Souls intertwined, her own Divine Soul was undoubtedly much stronger than before.

If it were before, Xing Jiu’s slash would have resulted in her head being separated from her body, but this time, she was able to perfectly dodge it.

This discovery thrilled Song Linlin.

It was great to have a powerful backer. And dual cultivation seemed quite worthwhile. Not only did it help her advance to the Golden Core stage, but her perception had also significantly improved.

Other than the fact that she was almost “tortured” to death by the overwhelming pleasure during dual cultivation, strictly speaking, this shouldn’t count as a flaw.

Amidst the visibly surprised looks of the two people in front of her, Song Linlin tossed her long hair, and spoke with an air of profoundness. “Senior Sister Ye, to be honest, I have always hidden my strength. I had already advanced to the early Golden Core stage.”

“I originally didn’t plan to reveal this matter, only wanting to interact with everyone under a low-key identity.”

“Alas! Who knew things would turn out this way!”

“It seems this world never allows humble people to exist. Facing this situation now, I have no choice but to step in!”

Ye Tingran did not suspect Song Linlin was bragging or lying. She nodded, very moved and approving. “Junior Sister Song, you are truly modest. It seems we have underestimated you all this time.”

Chi Qianning, not far away, shook her head slightly as she watched Song Linlin speaking serious nonsense, and she chuckled softly. “It seems your mouth is quite formidable.”
