Chapter 115 – Love Knows Not Whence It Springs, Yet Once Begun, It Runs Deep

“Done.”

Amid the panicked crowd, Lin Xi’s heart was as still as an ancient well.

The Ultimate Fireball Spell was far more powerful than she had imagined.

With only ten percent of its output, it had instantly vaporized the ten flying monsters coming in from the west.

“The danger’s gone. The alarm should stop soon.”

“Xinning, Miss Su Xiangxue, Miss Shanshan, and her little sister… I’ll be the one to protect their happy time at the amusement park.”

“Saint Love Xi” had logged back in!

Not only had she protected her friends’ fun, she had also protected the other tourists. Lin Xi felt absolutely delighted.

With great power comes great responsibility… What was she, Z City Spider-Man?

“I should hurry back.”

“Miss Shanshan is probably waiting for me with the ice cream.”

Lin Xi hummed a little tune as she walked back.

…

“Sis, she’s going back to look for you.”

Lin Xi had no idea that a pair of eyes was watching her. Yang Tongtong stood atop a nearby building, her gaze following Lin Xi’s movements.

“There’s no mistake. It was Lin Xi who burned my pets with a Fireball.”

“I said I was going to kill the bastard who set them on fire.”

“Don’t you dare!” Yang Tongtong’s words were cut off by her sister’s stern voice.

Yang Tongtong: “…”

“Sis, are you seriously taking an outsider’s side like this?”

“I’m your little sister!”

“Cousin,” Yang Shanshan said.

“Blood is thicker than water, Sis!” Yang Tongtong said angrily. “Is that bastard Lin Xi a Succubus or something? How did she manage to make you so completely obsessed with her?”

“Wait, that doesn’t seem right either,” Yang Tongtong muttered to herself. “Is there such a thing as a Succubus who can cast Fireballs?”

“Then again, even the most seductive Succubus couldn’t possibly bewitch you, the Queen of Lust…”

Yang Tongtong truly could not understand what was so charming about Lin Xi that her sister would be this devoted to her.

Yang Shanshan only said calmly, “Love knows not whence it springs, yet once begun, it runs deep.”

Yang Tongtong: “…”

“Sis, lovesickness is an illness. It needs treatment!”

“Tomorrow, I’m taking you to the best hospital to get your brain checked!”

Yang Tongtong was heartbroken over her sister’s hopeless romantic brain.

“Tongtong, I’m not lovesick, you know. You’ll understand once you have someone you like,” Yang Shanshan said. “In any case, you’re not allowed to touch Lin Xi.”

“And what if I do?”

“As long as I’m here, you won’t be able to.”

“Wow, Sis, you’re really tough with me. Why aren’t you tough with Lin Xi? Why don’t the two of you hurry up and go into one of those ‘you can’t leave until you get lewd’ rooms already!”

“There is no such thing as a ‘you can’t leave until you get lewd’ room!” Yang Shanshan loudly retorted. Her little sister was always saying the most embarrassing things.

Compared to herself, Yang Tongtong was the one who was more qualified to become the Queen of Lust…

Under Yang Shanshan’s warning, Yang Tongtong had no choice but to give up on the idea of teaching Lin Xi a harsh lesson.

“But, Sis, you’ve spent so much time with her, and you never sensed that Lin Xi wasn’t human?”

“I…” Yang Shanshan found it strange as well. “Maybe Miss Lin Xi is just too special…”

“She is pretty special,” Yang Tongtong said. “A Succubus who can cast Fireballs. How could she not be?”

“Miss Lin Xi is not a Succubus!” Yang Shanshan refuted her little sister. “Based on what I can sense… I think Miss Lin Xi is probably a witch?”

“A witch?” Yang Tongtong chuckled. “Now that’s even more interesting. Whether in the Dark Realm or in this world, witches are destined to be beings who destroy the world.”

“The high-and-mighty Seven Monarchs of Desire of the Dark Realm, at most, only want to rule the world.”

“But witches are different. They’re born to destroy the world.”

“Rumor!” Yang Shanshan flatly denied her sister’s claim. “Don’t believe rumors, don’t spread rumors.”

“It’s not a rumor. This came from Sophia Shiko, the great prophet of the Dark Realm.”

“Tongtong, the world is material, matter is in motion, and everything is changing from one instant to the next. No prophecy can ever be one hundred percent accurate.”

Yang Tongtong: “???”

“I’m talking to you about prophecy, and you’re talking to me about philosophy???”

“I’m done arguing with you,” Yang Shanshan replied. “I see Miss Lin Xi. And you’re not allowed to attack her in the future, either.”

Yang Tongtong: “…”

“Sis, listen to me. Being love-brained is a real illness. You need treatment…”

…

Yang Shanshan waved at Lin Xi as she walked over from a distance.

She was not love-brained.

She was perfectly clearheaded.

Even if Miss Lin Xi was a witch, there was no way she would destroy the world.

Hadn’t she just eliminated those monsters for everyone and protected them all?

Therefore, Yang Shanshan arrived at a conclusion:

Miss Lin Xi was a witch, but she was a beautiful, adorable, one-of-a-kind good witch!

“Miss Lin Xi!” Yang Shanshan waved and called out. “Over here! I’m over here!”

When Lin Xi saw Yang Shanshan, she jogged all the way back.

“Miss Shanshan, um, sorry… I stepped away for a bit. I went to the restroom over there…” Lin Xi casually made up an excuse.

Hug-

Yang Shanshan wrapped Lin Xi in her arms.

Lin Xi: “???”

“What’s wrong?! Miss Shanshan, you don’t think I heard the alarm and abandoned you to run away first, do you?”

“That’s not what happened. I really did go to the restroom over there. When I came out, I even saw those monsters get burned to death by a Fireball that suddenly appeared.”

“Don’t be nervous. There’s nothing to worry about.”

Holding Lin Xi, Yang Shanshan said softly:

“No, I know you wouldn’t leave me behind. I just-“

Yang Shanshan was only using this method to carefully sense Lin Xi’s true nature.

Sure enough, Miss Lin Xi was a witch… Yang Shanshan let go of Lin Xi. “I just feel like it’s really wonderful to see Miss Lin Xi again.”

“Hahaha, listen to you. It’s not like I’m some priceless treasure. What’s there to get so excited about seeing me?”

“In my eyes, you are a priceless treasure!” Yang Shanshan blurted out what she was thinking, and her face instantly turned as red as an erupting volcano.

Lin Xi had not expected her image in Yang Shanshan’s heart to be so grand and glorious.

Saint Love Xi, confirmed beyond doubt!

“All right, all right,” Lin Xi said. “Let’s just treat it as a little interlude and keep having fun.”

“Mm!” Only then did Yang Shanshan realize her hands were empty.

“Sorry, Miss Lin Xi. I didn’t manage to buy the ice cream…”

“It’s okay. When we see another ice cream truck, we’ll go buy some together.”

“Miss Lin Xi… you really are an angel!”

“Eh?” Lin Xi, who already possessed the title of Sun Goddess, really did not want to add another title to the list.

Besides, in Lin Xi’s heart, there was one and only one Angel-sama, and that was Zhao Xinning.

“Xinning?!” Lin Xi spotted Zhao Xinning hurrying over from one side.

But Yang Tongtong was nowhere to be seen.

“Oh no!” Lin Xi said anxiously. “Miss Shanshan, your little sister couldn’t have gotten lost, could she?”

Lin Xi could not help worrying.

Yang Shanshan, however, said calmly:

“There’s no need to worry about Tongtong. Have you forgotten? Just like Miss Xinning, she’s trained in combat.”
