Chapter 199: Ghost in the Magic World - Relationship Troubles (4)
They were sitting side by side and given the close distance, it would be a miracle if Shang Kui could calm down.
Seeing the girl blushing, Jun Lin scratched the back of his head and looked away too.
"It seems that little Jun Lin had grown up now." The stall owner smirked when he saw Jun Lin like this.
"Uncle Han, I’m already 16 years old!" Jun Lin complained as he took the porridge that the stall owner gave. Seeing that there were more meat, he knew that it must be the stall owner secretly subsidizing him again.
He was thankful for the stall owner from the bottom of his heart.
Xiang Kui also saw this and sighed.
The Jun Family silently put pressure on the other people in the city, preventing them from giving Jun Lin any good face.
It was not easy for Jun Lin to grow up for so long.
Even though Xiang Kui knew that the Jun Lin who experienced these things must not be the same as the Jun Lin who came from the same world as her, she still felt distressed in her heart and when her own porridge came, she put a few pieces of meat on Jun Lin’s bowl.
Jun Lin raised his head in surprised and saw Shang Kui mouthed to him, "For you."
His ears turned red and he lowered his head, completely focusing on eating the porridge in front of him.
Seeing that Jun Lin didn’t refuse, Xiang Kui breathed a sigh of relief and then she started eating her porridge.
Even though Jun Lin is quite strong, Xiang Kui felt that he was too thin.
It’s better to eat more.
’And it’s also not OOC... is this really something that the real Shang Kui really wants to do?’ Xiang Kui’s lips twitched slightly when she thought about it and then her cheek also reddened as she focused her attention to eat the porridge in front of her.
*ahem*
She should not think too much.
It’s embarrassing...
The stall owner looked at the two teenagers who have red face and silently felt that youths are really something.
But it seems to be quite fun to watch.
After they finished eating the porridge, the two teenagers bid their farewell and returned to their respective home.
Jun Lin wanted to go back to practice since there was still enough time.
On the other hand, Xiang Kui wanted to secretly check those magic beasts that appeared when they took their mission. It was not convenient with Jun Lin around.
In this way, the two of them tacitly agreed to go on their separate ways.
’Hmm... let’s go back home first.’
Xiang Kui went back to Shang Family Residence and saw that it was still relatively empty. Shang Kui’s father and the other elders might be still quite busy because of the event from yesterday.
Moreover...
’The delegation from the neighboring city will also arrive soon. They’re here to discuss about the mining agreement that’s usually renewed every three years.’
Shang Kui didn’t know much about this event.
After all, Shang Kui was still a child and in the eyes of the adult and other people in the city, she didn’t need to know about this kind of thing.
It was enough for them to be the one to manage it.
But Xiang Kui knew very well that these people who came this time didn’t have any good intention and it was also an incident that caused Shang Kui to suffer a lot. Since this time she was determined not to get involved, Xiang Kui would just watch from the sidelines and see how things develop.
She reached her room and then spread out her mental strength to the utmost limit.
Now...
Her vision turned a bit strange.
From outside, Shang Kui didn’t look any different from others, but only Xiang Kui could sense how Shang Kui’s mental strength had grown tremendously. Coupled with the chance of ’rebirth’ that the Time and Space Administrator gave her, the mental strength had increased a lot in just a few days when Xiang Kui temporarily became Shang Kui.
And Shang Kui was also the only one who could sense the birth of those black shadow very clearly.
That’s why she felt unease from the very beginning and was able to use mental suppression.
Through activating the Shang Family’s mental strength’s observation skill, her vision changed tremendously!
Energy that seemed to be able to swallow everything, malicious towards every beings, and seemed to be devouring everything appeared within Xiang Kui’s silent vision.
At this moment, the entire world seemed to be painted in black dye in her vision.
Through extending the observation range, Xiang Kui was able to cover up hundreds of miles away.
But her observation would be stretched thin and she wouldn’t be able to sense things in detailed manner.
In this way, Xiang Kui was able to see that there were several places where a large amount of black energy gathers. It seemed that they were going to give birth to countless ghosts anytime soon.
And unfortunately, this city was also among them.
That’s why Shang Kui encountered the ghost during the exam.
Right now, there was also a strange black vortex that was slowly forming around 100 meters away from her.
The vortex itself was only two meters high and wide, but it was constantly devouring the strange black energy around it and continued to strengthen itself.
As time passed, the vortex grew bigger and darker.
Xiang Kui knew that it was getting stronger.
’So this is the second ghost in the city.’
Xiang Kui looked at it with interest.
Through Shang Kui’s memory, she knew when the ghost will appear exactly and in her previous life, it was Shang Kui who dealt with the ghost.
But it was precisely because her effort failed that the ghost caused more trouble later on.
Now, Shang Kui definitely didn’t have the intention to help.
She wondered how they would handle this second ghost now.
