Chapter 1328 The Most Beautiful Touch of Shyness

Earlier, he was paying attention to the battle while pondering whether to go in and fight, so he hadn’t heard the conversation between Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan.

It was the phrase Saint’s Guide that had caught his ears.

When hearing Lin Xun boast that he would win the Saint’s Guide and give it to a woman beside him, Ke Zhenyun hadn’t been able to help it, thinking how there could be such a big talker in this world.

Therefore, he had spoken out mockingly.

And when he turned around and saw clearly who he had just commented on, his mocking smile froze on his face. He nearly jumped back in shock like he was seeing a ghost, and his voice cracked as he stuttered, “Why why why...why are you here?”

Lin Xun was stunned, then asked in amusement, “Why can’t I be here?”

“But...you...I...” Ke Zhenyun was incoherent, finding it so hard to speak his mind that his face turned beet red. His arrogant bearing had completely vanished as he looked utterly discomfited like a student who had made a mistake. He was so embarrassed that he just wanted to hide himself in a crack.

It was truly too embarrassing.

He had actually mocked Demon God Lin for having a big mouth. This...this was like a slap to his own face!

Ke Zhenyun’s abnormal behavior caught the attention of the nearby audience, and they all shifted their gazes over from the duel.

And then, they were surprised to see Ke Zhenyun’s embarrassed and uneasy posture. What can make such a supreme genius look so out of sorts?

When they finally saw Lin Xun, they stopped dead and couldn’t hold back a gasp, thinking that their eyes were deceiving them.

Demon God Lin? Here in the Ultimate Inheritance Land?

Oh heavens!

This...

The crowd was stupefied.

When the Ultimate Inheritance Land had emerged three days ago, a host of apex geniuses had entered one after another, with the exception of only one who was the most dazzling and most deserving – Lin Xun.

Many people had even lamented that the final competition would be lackluster without the presence of Demon God Lin.

A lot of people had secretly rejoiced, thinking that his absence would be for the best as it would spare them from tremendous pressure.

Many had even taken delight in Lin Xun’s misfortune of not being able to participate due to his serious injuries.

And now, to the shock of all, he appeared on the third day!

Who could keep their composure when faced with the impact of seeing him in person?

The strange atmosphere quickly spread around, and whoever noticed Lin Xun’s presence would gawk and almost drop their jaws.

It didn’t take long for this to spread to the entire area and take away all attention from the intense duel in the field.

Under the stares of the crowd, Lin Xun awkwardly rubbed his nose in confusion. What’s the fuss about me being here?

“Now I finally understand why they all call you Demon God Lin,” said Zhao Jingxuan with a strange look. So this is his might in the Upper Nine Realms now?

“Boss!” A’lu called out in surprise when he saw Lin Xun. Despite being in a fierce fight, he was still able to sense the change outside the battlefield. He wailed, “I’m as good as invisible now! You stole the limelight and also this girl’s attention from me!”

Shang Tiange raised her eyebrows in anger. “Shut your stinky mouth you giant idiot!”

A’lu immediately donned a shocked and aggrieved expression, shouting, “How do you know if my mouth stinks, have you tasted it? You took advantage of me?!”

Shang Tiange was on fire. She gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes blazing with fury as she stormed toward A’lu burning with flames. From her body language, it was clear that she wanted to tear him apart.

The duel once again erupted and was even more intense than before.

However, very few still paid attention to it, as most people were jittery in Lin Xun’s presence.

It couldn’t be helped. Now that the vicious man who had killed Yun Qingbai on the Demon Slaying Platform had made his appearance the ultimate battlefield, the sheer amount of pressure he had brought made it impossible for anyone to maintain their composure.

“It’s over. How do you even compete with Demon God Lin?” someone sighed.

“Be realistic. The ones who will truly feel the pressure are those like Imperial Son Shaohao and Fairy Ruowu. Do you think someone like you is worthy of facing off against the Demon God Lin?” someone mocked.

“There are only a few hours left until the end of the third day, and it so happens that Demon God Lin appeared at this juncture. I’m afraid whoever wants to win ten consecutive matches will have to pass him first, which means one less slot to the second round for us all,” one person analyzed with a heavy heart.

“Alas, there’s no use crying when luck is against you,” many lamented with mournful expressions.

“Look, someone said your brother’s mouth stunk, right after that guy had said you had a big mouth. Now everyone’s looking at you like you are a savage beast. Just how many atrocious things have you done over the years?” Zhao Jingxuan teased Lin Xun, her eyes blinking playfully.

“I haven’t counted how many atrocious things I’ve done. I only know that with our friendship of so many years, you should know very well whether I have a big mouth or not.” Having a big mouth could mean having a bad breath from some angle.

The implication made Zhao Jingxuan blush. A charming wave rippled in her eyes as she threw Lin Xun a glare and complained, “You and that A’lu are birds of a feather.”

Lin Xun couldn’t hold back a smile. He had rarely seen this playful but shy look on Zhao Jingxuan before.

While the two bantered, the rest of the area were agitated as they discussed what to do to pass the first round after taking Lin Xun’s participation into consideration.

Lin Xun couldn\'t care less about this.

It wasn’t that he was conceited and arrogant, he just didn’t have to worry much about this kind of competition with his current strength!

Before long, Lin Xun was surprised to see the duel end with A’lu’s defeat. The field also raised a clamor.

“Don’t expect any gratitude from me, you giant idiot!” said Shang Tiange loudly, her expression complicated.

“Doesn’t matter, I did it of my own volition!” A’lu strode out of the battlefield in a dashing manner.

Only then did Lin Xun understand that A’lu deliberately lost. He couldn’t help but look at the latter in a new light. “I didn’t expect you to spare no effort when chasing after someone.”

“I’ve seen all kinds of fairies, goddesses, and saintesses along the path of cultivation. All that beauty and only this chick is very much to my liking, so what’s the harm in letting her win once?” said A’lu with a smug smile. Then, he turned to Shang Tiange in the battlefield, waved his hand, and shouted, “Don’t let my goodwill go to waste, girlie! Make sure you win ten in a row yo!”

Lin Xun had to give the guy a thumbs up. In terms of shamelessness, A’lu definitely deserved to be a model character.

Shang Tiange was annoyed, but she could only grit her teeth and vent it on her next opponent. After all the exchanges, she was well aware that A’lu had very thick skin. The more one responded to him, the more it encouraged his shamelessness.

“So you just gave up the competition like that?” asked Lin Xun.

“Of course not. I’ll just go back on after the girlie finishes. There’s no rule prohibiting a second challenge anyway,” replied A’lu nonchalantly.

Lin Xun was speechless.

A’lu then looked at Zhao Jingxuan and suddenly said, “Boss, should I call Miss Zhao sister-in-law or...sister-in-law?”

Hearing this, Lin Xun’s eyes flared with anger and an urge to rip off A’lu’s mouth erupted in him!

Meanwhile, Zhao Jingxuan’s pretty face flushed red, and her eyes also glowed with murderous intent as she looked at A’lu. The mouth of this guy is really too destructive!

“Hahaha, you two get back to flirting. I’ll leave you alone.” A’lu sensed danger in the atmosphere and decided to slip away. “I’ll go cheer for the girlie!”

Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan watched him leave and sighed in relief. Then, they glanced at each other with a strange feeling in their hearts, while the atmosphere condensed with awkwardness.

Lin Xun thought about it and felt that he couldn’t stay silent like this. He tried to explain, “Uh... Don’t pay that any mind, he...”

“Don’t talk. Just watch the fight.”

Zhao Jingxuan directed her gaze to the battlefield while trying to keep calm. However, her cheeks were still a little hot. Sister-in-law? That A’lu deserves a good beating!

“Mhm...” After some silence, Lin Xun couldn’t help it. “In fact...”

But a sharp pain on his arm cut him off. The jade fingers that were pinching him then ruthlessly twisted a little and caused him to grimace.

In his ears, Zhao Jingxuan’s angry voice rang out, “Stop talking!”

Lin Xun was stunned. He glanced at the woman next to him and saw her ears had turned red through and through. In addition, the side of her stunningly beautiful face was also dyed with a red cloud. Even the elegant swan-like neck hiding under her long hair was flushed with a rosy color.

Her long, slightly arched eyelashes were fluttering slightly. Although she seemed to be watching the battle, she was obviously somewhat absent-minded. Her slender fingers pinched hard as a way of suppressing her emotions.

Zhao Jingxuan was very beautiful. In fact, she could be called a peerless beauty. And now, she was revealing a rare shy manner like an ostrich who just wanted to bury its head into its feathers.

The unprecedented sight caused Lin Xun\'s heart to tremble. For the first time, he saw an indescribable beauty in this girl. His eyes glazed over, and his heart was flooded with unfamiliar emotions.

She was like an exquisite goddess from a painting, and the shy touch of color on her cheeks at this moment would forever be an imprint in Lin Xun’s mind that he could never forget.

After the time it took to burn an incense stick, a hubbub from the crowd woke the pair from their thoughts.

Shang Tiange had finished her tenth match and earned ten consecutive victories.

A’lu walked up to her with a huge smile, only to be kicked in the buttocks by Shang Tiange with an exasperated huff.

But even so, he just grunted a little and yelled with a grin, “Hitting is kissing and scolding is loving. You kicked me so fiercely, does that mean you love me deeply?”

Hearing that, Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan were dumbfounded, and then spat in unison. This guy really throws all shame out the window when he’s in heat!
