Chapter 269 – Vicious Dog, Stand Down! (1/2)

Princess Pelle exclaimed as ShenDai JianRen was sent flying in an arc, finally colliding with a bang into a stone pillar outside the door, almost breaking the pillar. Although his bones didn’t break, his internal organs did receive quite a shock as he bled from the corners of his mouth.

All the people who were watching coldly from the side were all dumbfounded, some were even fearful and wanted to escape.

His appearance may be a bit wretched but he was a proper adult male, his weight and height was incomparable to that of a student who never grew up yet like Lin Xiao. He was also several sizes larger than Lin Xiao, his muscles underneath his clothes was also rather robust and seemed to be a warrior.

Although he is somewhat unqualified…

That ShenDai JianRen was actually sent flying by a short and small youth with a simple push!

How is that possible, were they seeing things? Otherwise, how does this kid have so much strength?

Or perhaps was ShenDai JianRen his accomplice and they were putting on a show for them? That doesn’t make sense, he isn’t a masochist so why would he hurt himself to put on a show.

Actually, it wasn’t just Princess Pelle that didn’t understand, even ShenDai JianRen himself didn’t understand, why was he suddenly sent flying?

Did he simply use physical strength to push him? No, that kid has thin limbs and looked like a good-for-nothing that stayed at home with one look.

So that means it was magic?

Or some rare magic tool?

ShenDai JianRen immediately noticed the glimmer of the faint inconspicuous green light, but it was too fleeting and unremarkable so he couldn’t make a judgment.

He was lying against the pillar dazing out while Lin Xiao also looked at him in a loss, then turned to look at the banquet door that was crowded with people and didn’t know what kind of expression to make…

Princess Pelle’s exclamation as well as the sound of ShenDai JianRen colliding with the pillar aroused the attention of the crowd. The banquet hasn’t started yet but the people surrounding the door increased, like a prelude to a big show.

Obviously, things have gone too far.

Originally, according to his temper of not liking to causing trouble and not getting angry, he would never get hands on with someone in a place like this, especially not to ShenDai Ying’s attendant.

Yet, he still did something like that.

When he sensed that the other party was attempting to use his hands to take advantage of Elena, there was an abrupt flame that was lit inside of him and he suddenly reacted even before he could carefully think it over!

He couldn’t let this bastard get away with it.

He instinctively instant cast the fifth level magic, Wind Blast!

And so, a compressed wind blast, on his defenseless body at pointblank range, sent him flying before he could even cry out in pain.

“Did I use too much strength…”

Lin Xiao sighed as he silently withstood the unkind eyes of the crowd.

It was not good news to be in the spotlight for something like this, so it wasn’t just Lin Xiao that was uncomfortable, even Elena was slightly embarrassed.

Even if she hid behind Lin Xiao, she could feel those dagger-like stares, if it wasn’t for Lin Xiao holding her arm, she might have even escaped.

Elena has never shied away from the strongest of foes, but faced against the disdainful and teasing of those nobles, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Then how would the youth protecting her feel?

Looking at his face, she couldn’t help but feel some warmth in her heart.

Even if she was cursing at Lin Xiao and purposely stepped on his toes, but now she couldn’t blame him at all and just wanted to continue hiding behind him at ease.

“Lin Xiao, you…”

Complex emotions were surging inside of her, and Elena couldn’t help but call out.

“What?”

Hearing her voice, Lin Xiao lowered his head to look at her and noticed that she had a faint blush and her fluttering ruby-like eyes and he could feel her hidden dependence and he didn’t regret what he just did anymore.

It was worth it, too worth it!

Although that was the case, he subconsciously said something that completely destroyed the atmosphere…

“Elena, you’re the Demon King, why are you pretending to be some pure and innocent little girl?”

“Hah? W-who’s pretending to do that?”
