REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC98 - 97 The Deceit God is too strong! Lin Tianming is desperately seeking help! He summons the Angel Xingyao!
Chapter 98: Chapter 97 The Deceit God is too strong! Lin Tianming is desperately seeking help! He summons the Angel Xingyao!
When Lin Tianming turned around this time, he expected to see what was chasing them, but found nothing behind them.
Yet in the darkness, he could still sense something attacking him.
He also dodged immediately.
"Teacher Tianshui, Qingxue, Feng Lan, I didn't encounter anything bizarre or terrifying when I looked back, why don't you look too?"
Hearing Lin Tianming's words at this time, they didn't know whether to call him foolish or to admire his bravery.
When Lin Tianming turned around, in their eyes, he had no way back.
They were struggling to protect themselves and had no way to help Lin Tianming, only desperately enduring the whispers that could drive one mad to death.
"Cold Winter Pig, I'm calling you out, do you dare to show your true body? It's just invisibility, acting all mysterious. Are you just pretending because you can't beat anyone?"
[This isn't an invisibility skill, Brother Tianming, the Deceit God hasn't found a suitable human body to descend into our world, it is not yet in our realm...]
Hearing Ye Qingxue's telepathic explanation, Lin Tianming once again avoided the attack that couldn't be seen with his keen senses.
[But even so, there is a chance to clearly see it, only that seeing it is more terrifying than not seeing it. When you do, you will suffer from madness that is even harder to understand than the whispers, and you will eventually die in insanity after glimpsing the Deceit God's true body in another world.]
After waiting for so long, he finally heard some useful intelligence about the Deceit God, and Lin Tianming's understanding of it deepened further.
Before, all the telepathic communications from Ye Qingxue and the others were only filled with fear of the Deceit God, without any useful intelligence.
But even now, knowing more, Lin Tianming was still unable to clearly see the Deceit God claiming to be the Lord of Cold Winter.
Seeing the Deceit God clearly would lead to dying in madness?
He did not believe it!
His eyes bursting with the bright golden light of Spiritual Power Ascension, Lin Tianming tried to penetrate the real body of the Lord of Cold Winter with the power of a Spiritual Power Ascender, to better counter the adversary's attacks.
"Body... your body... is very good... give it to me! I want you!"
Hearing the words of the Lord of Cold Winter, Lin Tianming felt a chill.
"Get lost! I have no interest in your kind of monster that hides in the shadows, spying on our world every day!"
Even with the power of Spiritual Power Ascension, Lin Tianming was still unable to see any part of the Lord of Cold Winter and was now at a loss for what to do.
Although he could avoid the influence of the whispers, he likewise could not see the Deceit God, Lord of Cold Winter.
Was there really no way to attack this talking idiot of a Deceit God that just sounded a bit scary?
As Lin Tianming pondered his strategy, the attacks of the Lord of Cold Winter, seemingly fixated on his body, became more frequent.
"I want... I want... your body..."
"Give me... become the vessel of my will... helping me to descend... is your supreme glory!"
Boom!
The Lord of Cold Winter, while intermittently whispering, launched attacks from the void towards Lin Tianming, each time more powerful than the last.
At first, Lin Tianming could dodge them with his sharp senses, but as time passed he also began to struggle.
Sizzle!
It seemed something pierced through his left palm, and instantly a bone-chilling coldness invaded his body through the bloody hole in his palm, causing [him] to shudder all over.
And there was a black aura, similar to Demonic Qi but even more bizarre, wrapped around the wound, corroding his flesh.
In just a few seconds, his palm was full of pus-filled sores, and they kept spreading.
Flashing through his mind were the images of those corpses with decaying flesh, and Lin Tianming realized he had been afflicted with the same technique as them.
"My vessel... I want you... give me your body..."
Another attack that Lin Tianming couldn't see pierced through his right palm, leaving more corrosive and festering wounds.
Then, Lin Tianming felt something invisible grabbing his palms with an irresistible force, suspending him in midair.
"Become a part of me..."
"Get lost! All disgusting attacks, who wants to become your body, you gibbering Cold Winter pig! It seems like you have problems in your tiny brain, mentally inept, right?"
Spiritual Ability Transformation!
Lin Tianming cursed loudly and his body directly transformed into a Spiritual Body.
Just as he transformed into a Spiritual Body, he sensed the horrifying gaze that appeared when he conquered the Ice Crystal Bell focusing on him from the unseen void.
And this sensation made his skin crawl even more than before!
At that moment, Lin Tianming instantly realized that the previous horrifying gaze came from the Lord of Cold Winter.
Thinking that he had previously used a Spiritual Power Ascension Skill to disperse the horrifying gaze, he repeated the technique, unleashing three skills all at once.
Spirit Body Spark!
Spiritual Power Storm!
Soul Capture!
However, this time he discovered that his Spiritual Power Ascension Skill couldn't dissipate that dreadful stare targeting him from the Void.
Could it be because previously it was just a lingering will, a residual soul that he was able to disperse, but this time it's the true form of the Lord of Cold Winter from another world?
At this moment, Lin Tianming felt that his form as a Spiritual Body was like a lamb waiting for slaughter, even more vulnerable than without using Spiritual Ability Transformation.
A tremendous will descended from the Void Space, seemingly intending to obliterate his exposed soul.
This dumb Lord of Cold Winter... even more frightening than the previous Spiritual Power Ascension God!
Lin Tianming had a strong premonition that the technique he used before to counterattack the Spiritual Power Ascension God using the backlash from his Spiritual Body would be completely ineffective against this one.
Watching the immense will about to descend and utterly eradicate his Spiritual Body State, Lin Tianming still followed his strong intuition and exited the Spiritual Body State.
As soon as he quit the Spiritual Body State, the dreadful stare from the Void targeting him disappeared, and the immense will to eradicate his spirit body vanished as well.
"Can't I transform into a Spiritual Body to deal with this dumb pig? Just now, when I was in Spiritual Body form, I felt completely powerless against it, as if I had entered its domain..."
Muttering to himself, Lin Tianming had no choice but to give up on transforming into a Spiritual Body to avoid the attacks from the Void.
Lin Tianming felt that he had fallen into a deadlock.
Spiritual Ability Transformation could evade the invisible attacks of the Lord of Cold Winter, but his Spiritual Body would have to directly face the will of the Lord of Cold Winter, something he could not resist.
Without using Spiritual Ability Transformation, he would be gravely wounded by the Lord of Cold Winter's invisible attacks, slowly being killed.
As time went on, under the formless attacks of the Lord of Cold Winter, Lin Tianming repeatedly suffered severe injuries.
Boom!
His abdomen was pierced, creating a bloody hole, as the cold qi invaded his body, causing his skin to spread with rotting wounds.
Lin Tianming had endured for so long, but finally he was starting to falter.
This was the most helpless battle he had encountered since awakening his superpower.
"Is this the power of the Deceit God? I really can't accept this... Am I going to be possessed by a dumb Deceit God and become its vessel!"
Lying on the ground, refusing to become a vessel for the Lord of Cold Winter to descend into the world, Lin Tianming was still thinking of strategies.
In this critical moment, a flash about Angel Xingyao, who lived in the Eternal Night Star Palace, crossed Lin Tianming's mind.
According to the information provided by the Mechanical Mainbrain in the Mechanical Secret Realm, the Gods of the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms were once humans like them, with a common ancestor.
But the Angel Xingyao in the Lost Land actually had abilities similar to those of a Deceit God, driving Ye Qingxue mad with a mere incomprehensible whisper.
Maybe she had a way to deal with this dumb and senseless Deceit God?
But she held deep hostility towards him for taking her Divine Weapon Star Key, and had declared that she would find him. Would she help him?
It didn't matter anymore!
Taking a deep breath, Lin Tianming had no choice but to treat a dead horse as if it were still alive in this critical moment.
Activating the power of the Star Key, Lin Tianming shouted towards it, emanating splendid starlight.
"Angel Xingyao, you've always wanted to find me, right? I'm right here, if you can hear me, come and find me!"
As if truly hearing Lin Tianming's bold call, the Star Key immediately manifested a Starry Sky Mirror.
The Starry Sky Mirror slowly revealed the beautiful palace floating below the Eternal Night Starry Sky. The scene rapidly zoomed in, entering the interior of the palace.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming quickly turned the Starry Sky Mirror towards his direct front.
It's all on you now!
In the deepest realm of the Eternal Night Star Palace, a beautiful and holy woman, angelic in appearance, sat upon her Star Sky Throne, slowly opening her beautiful eyes from slumber.
Awakened by Lin Tianming, who she was originally seeking, due to Lin Tianming's sneaky operation, she saw the Lord of Cold Winter whom Lin Tianming could not see.
Angel Xingyao parted her perfect angelic lips: "Is He the helper you've found to fight against me?"
Lin Tianming was momentarily stunned, but he quickly recovered and entered his act, letting out a villainous smirk.
"What do you think?"
Hearing Lin Tianming's admission, Angel Xingyao seated on the Star Sky Throne immediately shone with the dazzling Power of the Starry Sky.
"Too bad your helper isn't up to par, go back to your filthy world!"
As she spoke, the entire Starry Sky Mirror, under Lin Tianming's horrified gaze, released a terrifying Starlight Pillar, directed towards the location of the Lord of Cold Winter.

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC99 - 98 Angel Xingyao Banishes the Deceit God! The Healing Ability of the Star Key Divine Artifact!
Chapter 99: Chapter 98 Angel Xingyao Banishes the Deceit God! The Healing Ability of the Star Key Divine Artifact!
The brilliant starlight twinkled, and that resplendent pillar of beautiful starlight, sweeping with a powerful force far beyond Lin Tianming's comprehension at the moment, pierced through the Void Space and struck the invisible Lord of Cold Winter.
"I want a body... I want to descend... give me... give it to me!"
Listening to the unwilling voice of the Lord of Cold Winter, Lin Tianming felt somewhat relieved that this Deceit God's brain didn't seem to be working properly.
Otherwise, if it had some brains just now, and exposed his scheme in front of Angel Xingyao, he guessed that Angel Xingyao definitely wouldn't have taken action to save him.
"Still want to descend? You have no chance, get back to where you came from, this world does not welcome you!"
As Angel Xingyao's commanding voice rang out again, that brilliant starlight pillar surged several times in size, causing Lin Tianming to involuntarily shiver.
If that were to hit him, wouldn't he die ten thousand times over?
"I want... to descend... I... I... want... your... body..."
"How dare you covet even my body, you think you're worthy?"
Angel Xingyao thought that the Lord of Cold Winter's words were directed at her, and she further enhanced the Power of the Starry Sky within the Starlight Pillar, using it to vanquish the Lord of Cold Winter.
"No... I... I... want... to descend... I..."
Although Lin Tianming wasn't able to see the Lord of Cold Winter, he could still tell from its voice that it was about to be suppressed by Angel Xingyao.
Goodbye, dumb Lord of Cold Winter Piggy!
After all, being suppressed by her just means returning to your own world, have a good trip!
Privately bidding farewell to the Lord of Cold Winter, Lin Tianming was beside himself with joy, admiring his own cleverness.
He had already thought it through; once the Lord of Cold Winter was suppressed by Angel Xingyao, he would punch her.
Just like before, shattering her Starry Sky Mirror, leaving her to watch helplessly as he leaves, unable to do anything about it.
It wasn't long before the whispering voice of the Lord of Cold Winter by his ear vanished.
Lin Tianming knew that the Lord of Cold Winter must have been suppressed by Angel Xingyao.
Just as he thought he had finally managed to escape a catastrophe, Lin Tianming noticed the Starry Sky Mirror slowly turning towards him.
The beautiful and holy Angel Xingyao sat upon her throne, surrounded by the light of stars, offering Lin Tianming an extremely oppressive gaze.
"He has already been sent back to your world; now it's your turn!"
While speaking, Angel Xingyao slowly raised her right hand, her slender fingertips pointed in Lin Tianming's direction, once again condensing the dazzling starlight.
Lin Tianming hadn't noticed that Angel Xingyao referred to the Deceit God as "He," differing from the "It" used by them, the people.
He watched as Angel Xingyao, ready to deliver her righteous judgment upon him, squinted his eyes and played up to her with flattery.
"That... Angel Sister, let's talk this through, I feel there must be some misunderstanding between us, I'm truly a person from this world! If you kill me, I will really die!"
While speaking, Lin Tianming slowly moved closer to the Starry Sky Mirror.
Angel Xingyao clearly didn't believe Lin Tianming's lies: "Your accomplice has already rolled back, are these words useful now? Go back to your world!"
At this moment, Lin Tianming had already reached the proximity of the Starry Sky Mirror, and he dropped the pretense.
"The one who should roll is you!"
Boom!
Lin Tianming punched the Starry Sky Mirror, and it began to shatter and break apart.
And within the reflected image of the Starry Sky Mirror, the face of Angel Xingyao grew increasingly unsightly.
Lin Tianming even mockingly waved at her, taunting: "Goodbye, Angel Xingyao!"
Angered by Lin Tianming's infuriating behavior, Angel Xingyao really wanted to slay him right then and there.
But currently, the Genetic God Country was in a state of self-imposed isolation, and she could not come to find Lin Tianming.
The starlight circulating at her fingertips gradually dissipated, and Angel Xingyao withdrew her jade-like hand, her complexion quickly returning to indifference.
"You can't hide for long, I'll come for you soon, and when I do, I'll expel you and your filthy kind from our world!"
Another harsh statement about coming for him soon, Lin Tianming didn't take it too seriously.
Smiling throughout the entire encounter, he waved goodbye to Angel Xingyao, and only after the shattered Starry Sky Mirror turned into speckles of starlight and vanished did Lin Tianming put away that deliberately infuriating grin.
"When the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms descend, this Angel Xingyao will likely come looking for me, so I must become as strong as possible before then!"
Although he had purposefully angered Angel Xingyao, Lin Tianming still knew the crises he would face in the future were greater, one after another, and only by growing stronger quickly could he overcome them one by one.
He put away the Star Key and observed the starry sky power it emitted.
Although it was still glowing, it no longer brought Angel Xingyao to him.
"Sss... So painful!"
Having temporarily survived the perilous crisis, Lin Tianming also noticed the gaping wounds on his body were still there.
Especially the ghastly wounds on his abdomen and the palms of his hands, where a chill and corrosive forces capable of rotting flesh were spreading even further.
Lin Tianming instinctively thought of seeking Teacher Tianshui for healing, but when he saw Tianshui, Ye Qingxue, and Feng Lan unconscious, he gave up on the idea.
"What should I do now?"
The injuries on his body continued to worsen at an accelerated pace, and without the threat of Deceit God, he would still die here.
At that moment, the Star Key suddenly floated in front of him, releasing a dazzling starlight endowed with healing qualities that fell on his body.
Feeling the wounds on his body rapidly healing, a hint of joy crossed Lin Tianming's face.
"You're much more reliable than your previous master! So you really believe I'm a good person and that's why you're helping me?"
The Star Key, being a Divine Artifact, spun around before Lin Tianming as if it could understand his words.
This miraculous scene made Lin Tianming feel truly incredulous.
He then asked, "So the last time in the Mechanical Secret Realm, when I encountered the brainwashing by the Mechanical Mainbrain, was it you who actively helped me, and not your previous master who wants to kill me?"
As if to affirm, the Star Key spun around once again.
"Well done, if only your previous master could be as nice to me as you are, but unfortunately, that's not very likely!"
Lin Tianming sighed.
Having gone through the crisis of Deceit God, Lin Tianming also realized why Angel Xingyao seemed to have such a deep hatred towards him the moment she saw him.
Most likely she thought he was a Deceit God and kept telling him to get back to the Deceit God's world.
Although Lin Tianming was a soul transmigrant, he was a human from Blue Star, not some Deceit God.
While Lin Tianming was contemplating, the Star Key quickly healed all his wounds and even purified the corrosion of Deceit God.
Feeling the healing ability of the Star Key which was not inferior to Tianshui's, Lin Tianming had a new idea.
"I hadn't realized before that you also had this miraculous healing ability and could even understand me. Star Key, could you help wake up Teacher Tianshui and the other two?"
To his surprise, as soon as he spoke these words, the Star Key's light faded away, and it hid itself in the Void Space.
"Come on, even a Divine Artifact can be temperamental?"

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC100 - 99 Teacher Tianshui, such a gentle elder sister, seems to be very attractive to Brother Tianming!
Chapter 100: Chapter 99 Teacher Tianshui, such a gentle elder sister, seems to be very attractive to Brother Tianming!
Seeing the Star Key retreat into the Void Space, Lin Tianming, who still needed it to save people, pulled it out again.
He activated the Star Key directly, and the Star Key once again radiated brilliant starlight.
However, unlike the healing starlight that had healed him just now, the starlight he activated himself had no healing abilities and could only attack people.
After several attempts, Lin Tianming was unable to make the Star Key emit any healing starlight and had to give up.
He returned to Tianshui, Ye Qingxue, and Feng Lan and carefully inspected their injuries.
Apart from the initial spiritual collapse caused by the whispers of the Lord of Cold Winter, with blood tears streaming from their eyes, there were no other scars on their bodies.
It seemed that the appearance of Angel Xingyao had prevented further damage from the whispers of the Lord of Cold Winter, thus preventing them from having a spiritual collapse and dying twisted like those corpses.
If that was the case, they didn't actually need the healing from the Star Key; if he just took them out of the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, they should be able to wake up on their own.
But without Tianshui and Feng Lan, who knew the way, how could he leave?
Just as Lin Tianming was feeling a headache about how to get out, Tianshui suddenly muttered something that brought a smile to his face.
"Uh..."
Looking at Tianshui, whose eyebrows were tightly knit showing signs of waking up, Lin Tianming quickly raised the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield to protect Tianshui and the other two and himself.
Perhaps it was the warmth from the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield that gradually eased the frown on Tianshui's pretty face.
After a while, she confusedly opened her eyes.
"Teacher Tianshui, you're finally awake!"
Seeing Tianshui awake, Lin Tianming was extremely happy.
Her waking up was hugely beneficial; not only could she lead them out of the Ice and Snow Secret Realm but also revive Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan.
Tianshui, just awake, was slightly disoriented: "I... I'm not dead?"
Lin Tianming smiled at her: "Nope! We're all still alive!"
Hearing Lin Tianming say this, Tianshui pressed her temple and sorted out her thoughts from before she lost consciousness.
She remembered they had encountered the hunting of the Deceit God, and except for Lin Tianming, they all couldn't resist the whispers of the Deceit God.
Then, in a daze, she seemed to see a beam of starlight shooting into the sky, and then the whispers dissipated, and she too collapsed to the ground.
Tianshui looked at Lin Tianming uncertainly: "Little Brother Tianming, was it you... who repelled that Deceit God?"
Speaking of this, Lin Tianming stood tall and proud: "That's right! Impressive, isn't it, Teacher Tianshui?"
Staring into Lin Tianming's eyes for a while, Tianshui said: "It is quite impressive..."
[The Little Brother Tianming of this life is only ten-level, yet he can ignore the whispers of the Deceit God with his mortal body. It's unimaginable to think how he'll grow in the future...]
Listening to Tianshui's admiring thoughts, Lin Tianming was also quite proud.
However, he knew the current priority was to revive Feng Lan and Ye Qingxue.
"Teacher Tianshui, please help revive Qingxue and Feng Lan!"
Reminded by Lin Tianming, Tianshui also shifted her attention from Lin Tianming to Feng Lan and Ye Qingxue.
[The Deceit God's whisper was cut off just in time, causing no significant physical damage, only some mental collapse passed out, this is easy to treat.]
Tianshui checked the physical conditions of Feng Lan and Ye Qingxue and then enveloped herself, Feng Lan, Ye Qingxue, and also herself, who was somewhat weak, in a flowing water.
Under her healing, Feng Lan and Ye Qingxue quickly recovered and opened their eyes.
Upon waking up, Ye Qingxue seeing Lin Tianming, nervously shouted: "Brother Tianming, run! The farther the better!"
Feng Lan was calmer, noticing that Tianshui and Lin Tianming were fine, she knew they had turned danger into safety.
Lin Tianming then said to Ye Qingxue: "Qingxue, we're all fine, there's no need to run!"
Hearing Lin Tianming say this, Ye Qingxue gradually calmed down.
However, she curiously asked, "Brother Tianming, was it you... who drove it away?"
"Yes, it was me!"
Lin Tianming did not deny.
Although he personally didn't make the Lord of Cold Winter scram, the Angel Xingyao he lured here with his strategy could be counted as him having handled the Lord of Cold Winter.
The memory of Lin Tianming once driving away Angel Xingyao in the Lost Land and saving her flashed through Ye Qingxue's mind, so she didn't ask any further questions.
At that moment, Tianshui suggested, "We should leave the Ice and Snow Secret Realm first."
Lin Tianming also immediately agreed, "Yes, I think so too, Teacher Tianshui, it would be a trouble for you to lead us out!"
Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan had no objections either.
Worried about encountering unexpected dangers if they continued to stay there, Lin Tianming and his companions quickly exited the Ice and Snow Secret Realm.
With Tianshui leading the way and without encountering any Deceit God, the four of them quickly escaped safely from the Ice and Snow Secret Realm.
Once out, Lin Tianming couldn't help but deeply inhale the fresh air outside.
"We finally made it out safely!"
Ye Qingxue, who was holding onto Lin Tianming's arm, also breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes! Tonight's exploration of the Ice and Snow Secret Realm was thrilling yet safe!"
Feng Lan remained silent, but her feeling of relief after the ordeal was still heard by Lin Tianming.
[Phew... glad we escaped!]
Tianshui then took the initiative to bid farewell to Lin Tianming, "Little Brother Tianming, I'm glad to have met you tonight, but it's time for us to part ways now, farewell if we are fated to meet again!"
[I hope we never meet again!]
Lin Tianming knew that Tianshui wanted to escape reality, he respected her choice and did not hold her back.
"Alright, Teacher Tianshui, farewell if we are fated to meet again."
Tianshui also bid farewell to Feng Lan and Ye Qingxue, "And to you two students from the Great Emperor Academy of the Imperial City, goodbye!"
"Teacher Tianshui, thank you for your healing today, we'll meet again next time!"
"Teacher Tianshui, see you next time."
Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan waved goodbye to Tianshui, they were very grateful to Tianshui who had healed them twice.
Tianshui then gently looked at Lin Tianming one last time before turning around and leaving without looking back.
Watching Tianshui's disappearing figure fade into the night, Lin Tianming also felt a flood of emotions.
They had just faced trials together, but due to the original protagonist's situation, they had to part ways.
However, thinking that this might alleviate some of her pain from her past life memories, Lin Tianming decided that he would also try to avoid her in the future.
She avoided him, and he would avoid her, this way they probably wouldn't meet again.
Missing one less goddess reincarnator to deal with wasn't a bad thing!
"They are long gone, and you're still looking, Brother Tianming!"
The sour words from the jealous goddess Ye Qingxue rang in his ears, and Lin Tianming quickly cleared his throat seriously.
"Qingxue, we just shared hardships with Teacher Tianshui, it's normal to feel reluctant to part!"
Ye Qingxue snorted delicately, not saying much more, but her thoughts were still rich and colorful.
[Teacher Tianshui, being such a gentle elder sister like water, seems to hold a lot of attraction to Brother Tianming!]
[I must keep a close eye on Brother Tianming, I can't let someone else take him away!]

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC101 - 100 1Coming Back Only to Be Thrown into Thunder Pool! Teacher Jiang Han, You're a Devil, Right?
Chapter 101: Chapter 100 1Coming Back Only to Be Thrown into Thunder Pool! Teacher Jiang Han, You're a Devil, Right?
After coming out of the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue didn't leave Lingnan Ancient City right away.
Each had asked for three days off, and it was only the first day, they still had two more days to enjoy themselves in Lingnan Ancient City.
However, during the latter half of their three-day holiday, Feng Lan also stayed, which made Ye Qingxue's time less enjoyable.
Caught in the tug-of-war between Feng Lan and Ye Qingxue, Lin Tianming suffered yet relished the experience.
Thus after the holiday, Lin Tianming returned to the Imperial Academy with Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan.
As soon as they got back, Lin Tianming received a message from Jiang Han.
"Did you have fun during these three days of your outing?"
Seeing this message, Lin Tianming couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.
"Teacher Jiang Han is looking for me, Qingxue, Feng Lan, see you later!"
Confused by his sudden departure, Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan watched as Lin Tianming hurriedly scuttled away.
After running some distance, Lin Tianming replied to Jiang Han's message: "Teacher Jiang Han, I've been good, just staying at the Imperial Academy this whole time!"
"Cut the nonsense, come to the Thunder Awakening Venue, I need to ask you some things!"
Lin Tianming could tell from her tone that she was very angry about being deceived and took a deep breath.
After hesitating for a moment, he still headed towards the Thunder Awakening Venue upon his return.
Upon arriving at the Thunder Awakening Venue, Lin Tianming saw Jiang Han waiting for him with a stern face.
"Teacher Jiang Han, good morning!"
Pretending not to notice her bad mood, Lin Tianming still greeted her cheerfully with a smile.
Seeing him, Jiang Han who usually doted on her precious student, furrowed her brows.
"Haven't I told you that the Imperial City is quite dangerous recently? You were best off staying in the Imperial Academy these three days, but instead, you went off having fun!"
Now that he was caught by Jiang Han, Lin Tianming felt somewhat embarrassed: "Well... hehe!"
[You brat! I had come back early, and when I discovered you weren't at the Imperial Academy, I was really worried. If it weren't for sending someone to check and finding you and your little girlfriend Ye Qingxue buying tickets to Lingnan Ancient City, I would've thought you were dead gallivanting outside!]
Hearing Jiang Han's thoughts, Lin Tianming knew why she was so angry.
She must have been truly frightened when she returned that day and found him not at the Imperial Academy.
After all, right after she had warned him about the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider escaping from the Demon Tomb, he had run off to have fun; no wonder she was worried.
Jiang Han stared at Lin Tianming who was trying to play dumb for a while and then said, "Forget it, I won't scold you anymore, it's good that you came back safe."
Hearing Jiang Han say this, Lin Tianming felt a sense of relief: "Teacher Jiang Han, you really are my good teacher!"
Jiang Han continued: "I went to Tianhui Square yesterday specifically to inspect that destroyed Demon Nest. According to people from the Awakening Battle Group, you and the Wang Family's Wang Yanran were there one night some time ago. Is there anything you'd like to tell me about that?"
Talking about the incident of him and Wang Yanran slaying the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider, Lin Tianming hesitated.
Seeing Lin Tianming's hesitation, Jiang Han added: "I sensed the presence of the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider at the nest, as well as the lingering traces of my Purple Lightning Demon Prison."
Since Jiang Han mentioned this, Lin Tianming knew she had roughly figured out how he and Wang Yanran had slain the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider based on the scene's investigation.
Thinking again about how he used the Super Position Forbidden Curse Skill that Jiang Han gave him for self-defense to kill the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider, Lin Tianming decided to tell her the truth.
As Lin Tianming detailed precisely to Jiang Han how he and Wang Yanran fought the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider that night, and how the Awakening Battle Group had subsequently interrogated them, she looked at him more intently.
[This foolish boy, his analysis from the investigation scene is almost on par with mine... The Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider indeed died at his hands!]
[Thank goodness, before leaving I remembered he didn't have any skills for self-defense and left him a Super Position Forbidden Curse. Otherwise, he would surely have perished facing that Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider...]
"You did well, concerning the slaying of the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider, it is indeed unwise to tell the Awakening Battle Group. For you right now, it would result in harm and no benefit."
Seeing Jiang Han's firm confidence in him, Lin Tianming also smiled, "Teacher Jiang Han, you're not mad at me anymore, right? I made sure to slay the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider before I felt at ease to go out and have fun with Qingxue!"
Jiang Han's serious expression faded, and she resumed the smile she usually wore when teaching Lin Tianming.
"I'm not mad anymore, but I still need to personally check if you've been slacking off these past three days!"
As soon as Lin Tianming heard that Jiang Han was going to personally check on him, he immediately had a bad feeling.
"Um... Teacher Jiang Han, you know I've been traveling to Lingnan Ancient City with Qingxue for the past three days. I just got back today, and I haven't fully recovered to my best condition... Please... maybe check on me some other day?"
After finishing his plea, Lin Tianming turned around, thinking of sprinting away.
But what reached him was a familiar crack of Jiang Han's Lightning Whip, forcibly pulling him back to her side.
With his head hanging down and a bitter face, Lin Tianming faced Jiang Han's smiling, beautiful face, "Teacher Jiang Han, you're not really going to train me using the Thunder Pool again, are you?"
"Correct. But no prize for you!"
With a wave of her jade-like hand, Jiang Han used the Thunder Power to form a Thunder Pool, then tossed Lin Tianming into it.
Coming back and not getting a good sleep, only to be thrown into the Thunder Pool by Jiang Han for a soak, Lin Tianming couldn't help but curse.
"Damn you, Jiang Han! Upon my return, you just throw me into the Thunder Pool. You really are a devil! I'm getting more and more tempted to take you on!"
"You little rascal, who do you want to take on? Watch your language, I'm your teacher!"
[This brat is getting more and more unrestrained in front of me, always aiming to take me on! This is so defiant!]
Although a bit angry at Lin Tianming's impoliteness toward her, Jiang Han didn't increase the intensity of the Thunder Pool for that reason.
Before his vacation, she had just increased the Thunder Pool training intensity to the second stage for Lin Tianming.
Having trained only once, she had to give Lin Tianming a break because she needed to go to the entrance of the Demon Tomb.
Now that she's back, Lin Tianming, who has only experienced the second stage of Thunder Pool training once, definitely needed time to adapt before he could continue to increase the intensity.
[This kid just got back today; I suspect he went wild during those three days. It's better to let him adapt properly first without rushing to increase the Thunder Pool training intensity...]
[Hmm? What's happening... Didn't this kid only undergo the second stage of the Thunder Pool training once? How come he's back today and soaking in the Thunder Pool as if he has trained for a long time and completely adapted to the second stage of the Thunder Pool training intensity?]
Jiang Han originally wanted Lin Tianming to get used to it, but Lin Tianming seemed as comfortable as if he was taking a bath in the second stage intensity of the Thunder Pool. This was incredibly surprising to her.
Lin Tianming also heard her inner thoughts.
To be honest, he did not expect himself to be unscathed while soaking in the Thunder Pool this time.
After all, the last time before his vacation, he was nearly zapped to death by the second stage intensity of the Thunder Pool.
Could it be that the exploration of the Ice and Snow Secret Realm had greatly improved him?
Remembering that he had trained in Mechanical Transformation and increased the defensive power of the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield on the Nether Cold Bridge in the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, and later survived a life-threatening chase by the Deceit God, Lin Tianming began to think that the good fortune in the Ice and Snow Secret Realm had largely contributed to his improvement.
At this thought, Lin Tianming suddenly had an idea.
If he activated the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield to further enhance his defense, could he soak in this Thunder Pool all day without an issue?
Thinking quickly led to action. Lin Tianming, who hadn't yet informed Jiang Han about learning the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield, immediately activated it for defense.
With the boost from the defense ability cap of the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield in the Divine Tao Domain, Lin Tianming became even more comfortable in the Thunder Pool, feeling no harm at all.
"Teacher Jiang Han, is your Thunder Pool a bit too weak today? I feel like I could soak in it all day without any issue. It's really just like a bath now!"
This scene directly dumbfounded Jiang Han, who was still considering letting Lin Tianming further adapt to the current intensity of the Thunder Pool.
[Divine Tao Domain defensive skill with a growth aspect and fire attribute? Wasn't this kid just on a vacation to Lingnan Ancient City with his little girlfriend these past three days? How did he get even stronger?]
[With the current intensity of the Thunder Pool proving to be virtually ineffective against him, it has completely lost its value as a special training method. What on earth happened to Tianming these past three days?]

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC102 - 101: Jiang Han's Fear of Being Plundered! Will Tianming Kill Her Over the Heart of Furious Thunder?
Chapter 102: Chapter 101: Jiang Han's Fear of Being Plundered! Will Tianming Kill Her Over the Heart of Furious Thunder?
Lin Tianming stayed leisurely in the Thunder Pool, this being the most relaxed and bath-like experience since he started his special training in the Thunder Pool.
If only there were a maid beside him to massage his shoulders, that would be perfect!
After a brief shock, Jiang Han took a deep breath and asked, "Little Tianming, where did you learn this Fire Attribute Skill from?"
When it came to this, Lin Tianming told Jiang Han about something he had forgotten to mention earlier – his absorption of the Fire Spirit Pearl and learning Wang Yanran's skills.
By telling Jiang Han this, Lin Tianming was also hoping she could help him think of ways to further develop the abilities of Divine Hand.
If he could really endlessly absorb the attribute superpower crystals formed after the death of Divine Realm Demons in the future, he could learn a vast array of powerful skills quickly by slaying demons.
He even fantasized about one day gathering hundreds of Thunder Attribute Demon power crystals similar to the Fire Spirit Pearl, and learning all of Teacher Jiang Han's skills through Plunder.
If possible, as long as there were enough resources of demon attribute power crystals, he would also Plunder all the powerful skills of goddess reincarnators like Wang Yanran, Ye Qingxue, Feng Lan, and Tianshui.
Thinking about it, Lin Tianming couldn't help but fantasize about his invincible future, proficient in various superpowers, and the excitement was evident on his face.
"Just as I said earlier, Teacher Jiang Han, is there any way to get me more power crystals from Divine Realm Demons like the Fire Spirit Pearl? If it works out and I really can endlessly Plunder, wouldn't I be able to learn all of your True Thunder Attribute Skills, hehe!"
"Do you want to... you want to... endlessly... endlessly Plunder?" Jiang Han seemed to be in a daze, her expression changing erratically.
She was struggling to maintain her composure.
Lin Tianming had not yet heard the sound of her near-breakdown, so he nodded.
"Right now I'm just thinking about it. Without extra power crystals like the Fire Spirit Pearl from Divine Realm Demons, I don't even have the chance to practice. Teacher Jiang Han, you've been so kind to me, so eager to develop my superpower potential, surely you won't refuse to help me, right?"
Jiang Han's eyes flickered, even betraying a hint of fear.
"These Divine Realm Demon power crystals aren't easy to find. The Land of Calamity no longer has Divine Realm Demons. To find them... we would only be able to go to the Demon Tomb I mentioned to you before... That place is still under Sealing, and aside from the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider forcing its way out, there are my Jiuzhou people strictly guarding day and night. Your idea might be hard to realize in the short term."
[I thought the Fire Spirit Pearl formed after the death of that Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider was taken by Wang Yanran, never expecting you to trigger your Divine Hand with it...]
[So the inevitable is still coming, I can't avoid it, can I? The destiny of being Plundered by you...]
Finally, Jiang Han couldn't contain her inner voice, and Lin Tianming, who was in a good mood, also felt a pang in his heart.
How did his ability to Plunder power crystals from Divine Realm Demons make Teacher Jiang Han recall the unbearable memories of being betrayed by her student in the previous life?
At that moment, Jiang Han was still lost in her thoughts, the memory of being backstabbed by Lin Tianming on the day of her ascension to God flashing through her mind.
"Teacher Jiang Han, let me help you, you must become a God!"
Hearing Lin Tianming say he wanted to help her, her nerves, tense from the crisis of Godhood, relaxed a bit.
Feeling Lin Tianming Duplicating the full power of her Purple Thunder Shocking Sky Skill, she took solace in the fact that her nurturing of Lin Tianming wasn't in vain as he knew to share her burden.
It wasn't until she was hit, unguarded, by the Duplicated Purple Thunder Shocking Sky from Lin Tianming, did Jiang Han think it might have been an accidental injury on his part.
Only when Lin Tianming activated Plunder with Divine Hand, forcibly extracting the Heart of Furious Thunder from her body, did she realize Lin Tianming truly intended to kill her.
She can still remember, under her incredulous gaze, Lin Tianming's face was full of long-premeditated triumph, mocking and arrogant.
"My dear Teacher Jiang Han, don't blame me, if you are to blame, it's because you kept saying I was your most precious student, that your things would eventually be mine, yet you never gave me your Heart of Furious Thunder!"
"I can't wait any longer, I'll have to take it myself, hahaha! You shouldn't become a God anymore, let me replace you as the first True God in the history of human awakening!"
"I'll be heading back first, and after I return, I will sorrowfully tell everyone that, just like those predecessors, you were limited by your Talent and fell at the final step to godhood."
"And I, Lin Tianming, will inherit your will to become a god. You can rest in peace even in death, for you've said it yourself, that I have a Talent even you would envy!"
"Just stay here in the Land of Calamity, enjoy the last moments of your life, hahaha!"
Being plundered of the Heart of Furious Thunder at the crucial moment of becoming a god, she also suffered from consciousness blurring due to the destructive power that strikes during the ascension.
In the end, under her painfully unwilling gaze, her dearly nurtured disciple Lin Tianming left her behind without looking back, growing more distant.
The painful memories of her past life flashed through Jiang Han's mind scene by scene, and for the first time in this life, she felt the urge to kill Lin Tianming when she lost control of her emotions.
Lin Tianming also came to know how she died through the memories of her past life that she just recalled.
Feeling the strongest murderous intent and hatred from Jiang Han that he had ever felt during their many encounters, Lin Tianming couldn't help but feel the pressure mounting.
He hesitated for a moment before asking cautiously, "Teacher Jiang Han, are you... are you alright?"
Pulled back to reality from her painful memories by Lin Tianming, Jiang Han, who had lost control of her emotions, also realized she had overreacted.
She silently gazed at Lin Tianming's face.
[Should I kill him now?]
[If he finds out that his Plunder can take the Heart of Furious Thunder, would he, like in the past life, turn against me and commit the act of killing his master?]
[Is he really... different in this life from the last one? Or am I just wishfully thinking...]
[I should have killed him on the day of his Awakening Ceremony. Now that we've spent more time together, I actually started to believe he could change...]
Jiang Han has been in conflict while spending too long with this life's Lin Tianming, experiencing a tumultuous emotional struggle.
Her inner thoughts also put a lot of pressure on Lin Tianming at this moment.
If she finally decides to kill him, there's no way he could escape.
Eventually, the violent Thunder surging around Jiang Han gradually calmed down, as she thought of the time she spent with Lin Tianming day and night.
But her feelings were still conflicted.
"Get lost! I don't want to see you today!"
Seeing Jiang Han in such pain from the memories of being betrayed and murdered by her previous disciple, Lin Tianming felt a twinge of heartache for her.
Having spent so much time with Jiang Han, he could still feel that she genuinely cared for him, teaching him everything she had without holding back.
"Teacher Jiang Han, I..."
Before Lin Tianming could finish his words to calm Jiang Han's emotions, a bolt of falling thunder struck precisely beside him, startling him.
"Get lost! I said I don't want to see you!"
It was clear that Jiang Han was desperately suppressing her killing intent. Lin Tianming decided not to agitate her further and concluded it was best to leave now.
"I'm leaving now! Don't get agitated, Teacher Jiang Han!"

Chapter 103: Chapter 102 Wang Jian was stunned, the junior he beat up turned out to be his cousin-in-law?
Escaping the Thunder Awakening Venue, Lin Tianming looked back at the entrance once.
Hesitating for a moment, Lin Tianming still sighed and left.
Recalling how he eavesdropped on Jiang Han's inner thoughts today, he understood in greater detail her cause of death in her previous life, and Lin Tianming also felt somewhat dazed.
"Was I really that terrible?"
"Pah, pah, pah! It was that damn brat who was the big villain, has nothing to do with me!"
Through this recall of Teacher Jiang Han's detailed inner thoughts, Lin Tianming could tell that the original host's image was entirely that of a villain.
Originally, his progress in winning over Teacher Jiang Han was going pretty well, as long as he kept trying, he could make her completely believe the sincerity of him as a transmigrator.
Who would have thought that Divine Hand's ability to plunder the Divine Realm Demon's power crystals would trigger Jiang Han's memories of her previous life being murdered by her disciple, causing her to lose control of her emotions in front of him for the first time.
Even during their first encounter, she had never lost control like this.
To think that all his efforts in winning her over had instantly returned to square one... no, it's even worse than the starting point!
At this thought, Lin Tianming really wanted to drag out the soul of the long-dead original host and beat him up.
Damn original host, look at the mess you left me!
Cursing the original host in his mind, Lin Tianming temporarily stopped thinking about the naturally villainous original host and pondered over his Divine Hand's Plunder Ability.
From Jiang Han's just-revealed reactions and her specific memories of how the original host killed her, it seemed that the Heart of Furious Thunder on Teacher Jiang Han might be plundered by his Divine Hand, just like the Fire Spirit Pearl from the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider.
If that's the case, then the Heart of Furious Thunder from Teacher Jiang Han could also be duplicated by his Divine Hand.
If it were true, the original host in his previous life could have completely duplicated a Heart of Furious Thunder.
One for him and one for Teacher Jiang Han, shouldn't it have been happy for both, then why still kill Jiang Han?
Besides this issue, Lin Tianming had another question.
That is, after Jiang Han absorbed the Heart of Furious Thunder herself, why didn't it disappear?
When he absorbed the Fire Spirit Power from a Fire Spirit Pearl, the Fire Spirit Pearl completely vanished.
Is there a difference between the Heart of Furious Thunder and the Fire Spirit Pearl?
Troubled by these questions, Lin Tianming felt it was not appropriate to directly ask Jiang Han.
If he went to ask Jiang Han, wouldn't it be like telling her that he discovered the Heart of Furious Thunder inside her without her telling him?
Especially since she is already scared of him plundering the Heart of Furious Thunder, profoundly disturbed mentally.
Approaching her now would be like willingly presenting himself for slaughter.
Right now, if he wanted to absorb the power crystals of Divine Realm Demons, he would have to rely on luck like before, otherwise, he couldn't possibly defeat a real Divine Realm Demon.
Thinking this, Lin Tianming could only set aside these questions for now.
Walking on the road back to the male dormitory, Lin Tianming spotted two familiar faces he did not really wish to encounter.
It was two members of the Wang Family, one of the four great Awakener families in the Imperial City: Wang Yanran and Wang Jian.
"How unlucky... to run into them the night before a trip, and now again today upon returning!"
Although he had shared hardships with Wang Yanran once, Lin Tianming, who had not completely won over this senior sister, still thought it was best to avoid them.
Just as Lin Tianming was about to pretend he hadn't seen them and take a detour, Wang Jian's excited voice suddenly rang out.
"Cousin, look, it's that stinker Lin Tianming! He was the one who beat me up last time, causing me to run around with all my clothes burned off, completely embarrassing our Wang Family. Now that we've run into him, Cousin, you must stand up for me!"
Wang Yanran had not noticed Lin Tianming yet, but upon hearing Wang Jian's words, she fixed her gaze ahead.
When she saw Lin Tianming really was ahead, she instantly moved to block Lin Tianming's path.
Wang Jian also followed up, and with his cousin Wang Yanran there, he started to act arrogantly.
"Thinking of running upon seeing us? It seems you also know how strong my cousin Wang Yanran is. Today, you're done for, Lin Tianming!"
Wang Yanran then gave Lin Tianming a warm smile: "Junior Brother Tianming, haven't seen you for three days, are you doing alright?"
Wang Jian, who was waiting for his cousin Wang Yanran to thrash Lin Tianming on his behalf, was puzzled by the scene before him.
His cousin, who usually got annoyed by him, found him talkative, and always felt he stirred up trouble, was now smiling at Lin Tianming?
Wang Jian felt something must be wrong with the way he opened his eyes, and he rubbed them and took another careful look.
When he saw Wang Yanran still showing a warm, affectionate smile to Lin Tianming, Wang Jian felt his beliefs had crumbled.
Lin Tianming did not pay any attention to Wang Jian but politely responded to Wang Yanran, "Senior Sister Yanran, I've been alright these past three days, how about you?"
"I've been quite well too. Have you just returned from outside?"
"Yeah, Teacher Jiang Han gave me three days off, so I went out to relax."
Wang Jian watched his cousin Wang Yanran chatting happily with Lin Tianming, the person who had beaten him, while treating him like he was invisible. He rubbed his temples, feeling he needed to take a moment.
Knowing that Lin Tianming had been out playing for three days, Wang Yanran smiled and said, "Junior Brother Tianming, we haven't had a chance to chat alone for a while now, do you have time now?"
"Yes."
Hearing Lin Tianming say yes, Wang Yanran then turned to Wang Jian and said, "Cousin Wang Jian, I remember you said your conflicts with Junior Brother Tianming were just minor frictions and not a big deal, and you also told me not to bother him on your behalf. How about we take today to fully reconcile on my account?"
Wang Jian had been ignored for a while, and when Wang Yanran spoke to him suggesting reconciliation with Lin Tianming, he was somewhat unable to accept it at first.
Indeed, he had mentioned to Wang Yanran a few days ago that if she found it annoying, since it was all minor friction, he wouldn't trouble her to seek revenge on Lin Tianming.
But he had said that only because he saw Wang Yanran was annoyed...
Despite still being puzzled about how Lin Tianming knew his cousin Wang Yanran, and seeing their good relationship, Wang Jian eventually agreed.
"Hmm, Cousin, my engagement with Junior Brother Lin Tianming was just a normal contest. Today, for your sake, I won't hold it against him for burning my clothes!"
Lin Tianming was somewhat surprised that Wang Jian chose reconciliation.
However, since Wang Jian had said so, and with Wang Yanran mediating, Lin Tianming, not being a petty person, also decided to reconcile.
"Senior Brother Wang Jian, I was too harsh during our previous sparring, please don't hold it against me."
Seeing Lin Tianming and Wang Jian successfully reconcile, Wang Yanran also showed a satisfied smile.
"Now we're all family, and you'll have many opportunities to get along in the future. There should be no more friction. Cousin Wang Jian, Junior Brother Tianming and I have some matters to discuss privately, so we'll take our leave!"
After speaking, Wang Yanran, in front of Wang Jian, promptly grabbed Lin Tianming and quickly ran off.
Watching the disappearing figures of Wang Yanran pulling Lin Tianming away, Wang Jian felt even more dizzy.
This Lin Tianming, who once had thrashed him, wouldn't one day become his cousin's husband, would he?

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC104 - 103: Senior Sister Yanran's Kiss! The Strategy Progress is Very Successful!
Chapter 104: Chapter 103: Senior Sister Yanran's Kiss! The Strategy Progress is Very Successful!
Pulling Lin Tianming far away from Wang Jian, Wang Yanran finally let go of the jade hand that was holding Lin Tianming.
At this time, Lin Tianming also spoke up: "Senior Sister Yanran, is there something important you want to talk to me about?"
[There's nothing important, I just want to chat casually with you!]
Hearing Wang Yanran's immediate telepathic answer, Lin Tianming pretended to hear nothing, waiting for her verbal response.
"Junior Brother Tianming, there are indeed many important things! Let me ask you, and you must answer truthfully. Where have you been these past three days?"
Hearing this, Lin Tianming responded, "I just went on a trip to Lingnan Ancient City."
[Lingnan Ancient City? I've been there too, I vaguely remember the ancient architectural complexes there, and isn't there an Ice and Snow Amusement Park? So it was really a vacation trip?]
After learning where Lin Tianming had been, Wang Yanran continued walking with him and asking more questions.
"Did you go alone?"
"I went there with Qingxue from our family."
[I... our family's Qingxue?]
[He took so many advantages of me those days, and then he goes on vacation with other girls!]
[He really is a shameless rogue!]
Upon mentally rebuking Lin Tianming, Wang Yanran's initially happy expression suddenly turned ugly.
Lin Tianming also heard her thoughts and disagreed with what she said.
What does she mean by him taking advantage of her?
It was actually her trying to lure him into the woods to kill him those days, and he had to hug and hold her only because he was compelled!
He was avoiding her every day; it was her who was constantly trying to get close to him to seek revenge!
He was just strategizing to conquer her and dispel her killing intent toward the original host, so as to have one fewer person chasing to kill him!
And him taking his official girlfriend Ye Qingxue for a vacation trip wasn't illegal, right?
Unknowingly, Lin Tianming followed Wang Yanran to the Fiery Flame Awakening Venue.
Arriving here, Lin Tianming couldn't help but recall the night he almost died at her hands here.
Is she trying to repeat her old tricks?
"Junior Brother Tianming, go inside. That way, it's unlikely that anyone will disturb us!"
"Senior Sister Yanran, let's forget it here!"
Noticing Lin Tianming's reluctance to enter, Wang Yanran's eyebrows furrowed.
[I'm not going to kill you this time, what are you afraid of!]
Muttering to herself, Wang Yanran then said: "Junior Brother Tianming, don't be nervous, I promise we are just going inside to have a normal conversation!"
Lin Tianming didn't quite trust Wang Yanran's words.
But when he heard her thoughts and realized she harbored no intent to kill him, he agreed to her.
"Alright then, so Senior Sister Yanran, what else did you want to talk about by bringing me here?"
Upon this topic, Wang Yanran spoke: "Indeed, there are some things that are inconvenient to talk about outside. It's about your teacher Jiang Han, who approached me and asked about our encounter with the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider that night."
Hearing that Wang Yanran wanted to talk about this, he, who had just come from Jiang Han, pretended to be unaware of anything.
"Did you tell her everything?
When Lin Tianming asked this, Wang Yanran revealed a somewhat guilty expression.
[I didn't originally want to talk about it; after all, it involved us slaying a Divine Realm Demon which is a big deal. Even if Jiang Han is your teacher, you can't tell her everything.]
[But your teacher Jiang Han, right in front of me, based on her own investigation at the scene, roughly analyzed how we managed to defeat the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider... I had no choice but to admit it...]
Thinking about it, Wang Yanran lowered her head, unable to meet Lin Tianming's eyes.
She apologized softly: "I'm... I'm sorry... Junior Brother Tianming, I told your teacher Jiang Han, she already knows it was you who killed the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider..."
Lin Tianming understood from Wang Yanran's thoughts why she felt so guilty about this matter.
Wang Yanran probably thought that since Lin Tianming had shown a part of Divine Hand's secret only in front of her during a life-and-death crisis, many things were not even known by his teacher Jiang Han.
She also felt that the relationship between him and his teacher Jiang Han wasn't close enough to openly share secrets about his supernatural abilities, hence her guilt.
But she thought too much; the potential of his Divine Hand was actually developed by his teacher Jiang Han.
Even Jiang Han knew many limits of Divine Hand's potential that he himself did not know.
One could say that, due to the memories of training the original host in her last life, teacher Jiang Han is the person who understands his Divine Hand the best, even better than he knows himself.
This is the secret between Lin Tianming and Jiang Han; he has no plans to tell Wang Yanran.
But he was still very happy that Wang Yanran told him all this today and was still uneasy about it.
At least it proves that after the crisis with the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider, their relationship has greatly eased.
Originally, Wang Yanran, not knowing the original master in her previous life and having her body defiled by him, wanted to kill him the most since she had no emotional foundation with the original master.
Now, after the shared ordeal that night, she didn't hate him as much.
This is a good start!
Lin Tianming didn't expect her to immediately let go of her resentment towards the original master, just gradually and step by step.
Seizing this opportunity to improve Wang Yanran's favorability, Lin Tianming also said to Wang Yanran, "Senior Sister Yanran, it wasn't on purpose, just tell Teacher Jiang Han, and don't feel too guilty."
"Junior Brother Tianming..."
Wang Yanran was quite moved by Lin Tianming's understanding.
She thought that after she was honest with Jiang Han, Lin Tianming would definitely be angry when he found out.
Unexpectedly, not only was Lin Tianming not angry, but he even soothed her emotions, which made her like Lin Tianming even more.
[Junior Brother Tianming is really nice!]
Hearing Wang Yanran's thoughts, Lin Tianming was also sure that what he did really improved her favorability towards him.
Keep it up, Lin Tianming, this bone of Wang Yanran without emotional foundation will eventually be conquered!
Motivating himself thus, Lin Tianming was very satisfied with his current progress in wooing Wang Yanran.
At the same time, he also had to thank that Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider that he killed.
Without it causing trouble, he couldn't have eased his relationship with Wang Yanran so quickly.
Wang Yanran's uneasy emotions were alleviated by Lin Tianming's comforting, and she also showed a smile.
"Junior Brother Tianming, I haven't really thanked you properly for saving me that night, and I accidentally told your teacher about your Divine Hand secret, but you still didn't blame me...
So, tell me what gift you want, I'll fulfill your wish!"
Upon hearing Wang Yanran's words, Lin Tianming looked peculiar: "Really fulfill any wish?"
"Um, just tell me!"
[I am the daughter of the Wang Family Patriarch, one of the four great Awakener families in the Imperial City, whatever you want I can easily handle with our family's power!]
[But don't think that this means I truly forgive you for what you did to me in the previous life, this time it's just to thank you!]
[Once this is over, I will still settle the score with you!]
Hearing Wang Yanran's confident thoughts, Lin Tianming decided to joke with her.
Didn't she say she could use her Wang Family's power to easily get him the gift he wanted?
Then he would suggest a gift that even the Wang Family's power couldn't give him!
With this thought, the playful Lin Tianming also joked with Wang Yanran.
"I want a kiss from Senior Sister Yanran as a gift, will you give it to me?"
Hearing Lin Tianming's excessive gift request, Wang Yanran immediately showed a look of embarrassment and annoyance.
"You..."
[Scoundrel! Pervert! Despicable! I thought maybe you had changed since I was reborn, but you're still so audacious!]
Lin Tianming was just joking to tease her, hearing her angry thoughts, and in order to prevent their relationship, which had eased with difficulty, from regressing, he immediately started to explain.
"Senior Sister Yanran, I was just joking..."
However, before Lin Tianming could finish his words, Wang Yanran suddenly moved closer to him, her thin lips gently touching his.
The attacked Lin Tianming was stunned.
He was just joking, wasn't her heart very angry?
Why take it seriously!
And it wasn't just a kiss on the cheek, but on the lips!
After Wang Yanran kissed Lin Tianming's lips, her face also swiftly blushed to her neck.
"There, are you satisfied now? And... don't tell anyone!"
With that, Wang Yanran quickly fled the scene.
[What am I doing? I... I just actually kissed that scoundrel voluntarily!]
[Never mind, this was the gift he requested, after all, he saved my life, and I divulged his secret to his teacher, consider this kiss as payment for that!]
[We are even now, next time... next time I will definitely kill him, yes... that's right!]

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC105 - 104: Tears in Eyes, Slashing the Rebellious Disciple! Teacher Jiang Han is a bit fierce today!
Chapter 105: Chapter 104: Tears in Eyes, Slashing the Rebellious Disciple! Teacher Jiang Han is a bit fierce today!
Today, Lin Tianming woke up early in the morning.
But he didn't attend Teacher Jiang Han's class today.
It wasn't because he had gotten a three-day holiday and was unaccustomed to the rhythm of classes, deliberately skipping them to be lazy.
Rather, he thought about Jiang Han's painful thoughts and expression from yesterday, as well as her words about not wanting to see him, and Lin Tianming felt it was better not to approach her at this time.
His roommate, Chu Yunfei, had already gone to class, and now Lin Tianming was alone in the dormitory.
Lying flat on his dorm bed like a salted fish, Lin Tianming looked up at the ceiling and sighed.
At that moment, his phone rang with a message notification.
Lin Tianming picked up his phone and saw that it was a voice message from Teacher Jiang Han, and he immediately sat up.
"Why didn't you come today?"
Listening to her voice which sounded somewhat angry, Lin Tianming responded with a wry smile.
"Teacher Jiang Han, didn't you say you didn't want to see me? I thought you seemed in a really bad mood, that's why... I didn't dare to come and find you today!"
After Lin Tianming replied like this, Jiang Han didn't respond immediately, but waited a few minutes before replying.
"That was yesterday that I didn't want to see you, that's not an excuse for skipping class today. Get to the North Gate within ten minutes, or you'll bear the consequences!"
Teacher Jiang Han's undeniable tone instantly perked up Lin Tianming, though he was confused about why he needed to go to the North Gate for class today.
While swiftly getting up and going downstairs, he continued to ask: "Aren't we going to the Thunder Awakening Field for class today? Why do we have to go to the North Gate?"
"You'll know once you get here."
"..."
Seeing Jiang Han unwilling to elaborate further, Lin Tianming didn't ask more.
Thunderstorm Frenzy!
Activating Thunderstorm Frenzy to increase his pace, Lin Tianming put away his phone and hurried towards the North Gate.
On his way to the North Gate, Lin Tianming even bumped into Mo Jinghong, one of the top ten strongest Awakeners from the second year.
Seeing his hurried figure, she cheerily greeted him.
"Eh... isn't that junior brother Lin Tianming? Where are you rushing off to? Want to hang out? I happen to be free!"
"I've got urgent matters! Senior Sister Jing Hong, let's hang out another time!"
With Teacher Jiang Han waiting at the North Gate, Lin Tianming dared not make any other appointments.
Watching Lin Tianming's quickly disappearing figure, Mo Jinghong shrugged her shoulders somewhat dispiritedly.
"It's always this sentence, next time. Why does junior brother Lin Tianming always look so busy every time I see him?"
After parting from Mo Jinghong, Lin Tianming continued to rush forward at full speed.
The Great Emperor Academy was not small by any means. Lin Tianming, employing Thunderstorm Frenzy, ran like wild, yet it still took quite a while to reach the North Gate.
When he got there, he didn't see Jiang Han.
Just as he was about to take out his phone to contact Jiang Han, she popped her very familiar pretty face out of a car outside the North Gate, but her expression was not looking good.
"Come over, get in the car!"
Seeing Jiang Han's expression which was just like the day before when she didn't want to see him, Lin Tianming had a bad feeling.
Surely she couldn't be planning to drive him to some deserted place and finish him off?
If it was Teacher Jiang Han's usual patient smile while teaching, Lin Tianming might not be so afraid to get into her car.
Seeing Lin Tianming still hesitating, Jiang Han urged him again: "What are you still standing there for? Come over quickly!"
Urged like this by Jiang Han, although Lin Tianming felt like he was being rushed to his doom, he still walked over and got into her car.
Once in her car, Lin Tianming also heightened his alertness, secretly listening to her thoughts to understand her true intentions.
[Finally, he's come. Now I can take him there!]
Where is that?
Lin Tianming had a big question mark above his head as he listened to Jiang Han's mysteriously secretive thoughts, and his stress multiplied.
Could it really be as he suspected, that she wanted to take him to a secluded corner and kill him today because she remembered yesterday the original host's feud of killing her teacher?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt this possibility existed. At this moment, Lin Tianming somewhat wanted to get out of the car, but Jiang Han had already started driving.
For the time being, there was no useful information from Jiang Han's thoughts, so in order to understand more, Lin Tianming had no choice but to directly ask.
"Teacher Jiang Han, where are we going?"
"You'll know when we get there."
Jiang Han had no smile on her face, and at this moment, he couldn't hear any of her thoughts either, which made Lin Tianming feel the atmosphere was very oppressive.
Usually, although Jiang Han's special training was very harsh, akin to devil training, she was always very patient and smiled every time she spoke to him.
This kind of oppressive feeling usually only emerged when she recalled any unfavorable memories about the original host.
It seemed that the impact of yesterday was really big, directly causing Teacher Jiang Han to lose all of her good feelings towards him.
En route, Lin Tianming reached the destination amidst such an extremely oppressive and silent atmosphere.
The consistently silent Jiang Han finally opened her mouth, "We've arrived."
After saying these words, Jiang Han took the lead in getting out of the car.
Lin Tianming followed her out of the car and quickly observed the surrounding environment.
The place they were currently located at was the entrance to a forest.
"Teacher Jiang Han, where is this?"
"Lost Forest."
Jiang Han gave Lin Tianming a few words back, today she spoke as sparsely as the wind.
But although Feng Lan spoke little, this never made one feel oppressive; it was simply the quietness.
It was clear her current state stemmed from the impact of recalling the original host's affair of killing her teacher—it only made the atmosphere so oppressive.
This also led Lin Tianming to doubt the purpose of her bringing him here.
"Lost Forest? Teacher Jiang Han, why are we here?"
Jiang Han remained unsmiling throughout, "To level you up to 17."
Right now, she seemed to have very few thoughts, as if she had completely closed off her heart, unwilling to think of anything, making it impossible for Lin Tianming to sneak a listen to her thoughts and understand how she currently viewed him.
With almost no sound of Jiang Han's thoughts, Lin Tianming could only continue to ask, "Level up to 17, why are we not at the Great Emperor Academy in Imperial City? This place looks quiet and scary, too sinister!"
"Sinister is just right."
This statement from Jiang Han unsettled Lin Tianming even more.
Was they not going further a few steps before she truly wanted to kill him?
Lin Tianming took a deep breath, "Jiang... Teacher Jiang Han, can we... can we act normal? Don't scare me!"
Jiang Han looked at Lin Tianming indifferently, "I am very normal and I haven't scared you. Just go in. Inside, there are many Awakened Beasts, and in your current state, actual combat will make it easier for you to reach level 17 while also honing your combat experience."
Jiang Han finally spoke more today right before entering.
However, her demeanor, combined with the sinister atmosphere of the Lost Forest, still left Lin Tianming slightly horrified.
He could already imagine that Jiang Han had tricked him into the Lost Forest, ready to tearfully kill this rebellious disciple with her own hands.
Seeing that Lin Tianming was hesitant to enter, Jiang Han grew a bit impatient and condensed a Thunder Ball in her palm.
"Hurry in, do you need me to personally send you in?"
Seeing Jiang Han preparing to act, Lin Tianming hurriedly waved his hands, "Don't... Teacher Jiang Han, there's no need for your trouble, I'll go in myself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tianming deployed Thunderstorm Frenzy and sped into the Lost Forest.
Watching Lin Tianming disappear into the Lost Forest, Jiang Han retracted her Thunder Ball and furrowed her brows.
"Do I look very scary today? This damn kid, making it seem like I want to kill him just by having him level up to 17 in the Lost Forest! I suppose I have been too gentle with him usually!"

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC106 - 105: Lost Forest! The Highly Intelligent Green-faced Wolf Pack!
Chapter 106: Chapter 105: Lost Forest! The Highly Intelligent Green-faced Wolf Pack!
With the boost of Thunderstorm Frenzy, Lin Tianming ran aimlessly in the Lost Forest for a long time, only stopping to catch his breath when he saw Jiang Han was not following.
"Gosh! That scared the life out of me... Phew! Teacher Jiang Han is really terrifying today!"
After a brief respite, Lin Tianming, unsure of his whereabouts, couldn't help but hold his forehead.
"How am I going to get out of here? Did Teacher Jiang Han really just ask me to come here to level up today?"
With confusion as to why Jiang Han brought him here, Lin Tianming looked around the dense trees of Lost Forest that blocked most of the sunlight.
Hm?
Noticing something in the bushes not far ahead on his left, Lin Tianming immediately became alert.
Could it be Teacher Jiang Han hiding there, ready to catch him off guard with a painful blow, sending this rebellious disciple on his way?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Lin Tianming felt, deciding to stay away from the bushes ahead on the left.
He nervously watched the bushes while carefully stepping backward.
However, before he could take a few steps back, a fire-patterned, red-eyed tusk pig burst out from the bushes.
"It's a Level 17 Fire attribute Fire Pattern Tusk Pig!"
Although this was Lin Tianming's first encounter with a Fire Pattern Tusk Pig, his previous learning in the Awakener Preparatory Academy allowed him to recognize the identity of this Awakened Beast instantly.
Recognizing the Fire Pattern Tusk Pig, Lin Tianming's nervous tension eased significantly.
"I thought it was Teacher Jiang Han hiding there ready to ambush me, it gave me quite a scare!"
Thunder Wall!
Thunder Power descended from the sky, forming a Thunder Wall in front of Lin Tianming like a waterfall.
The Level 17 Fire Pattern Tusk Pig charging toward Lin Tianming collided with the Thunder Wall and was electrocuted, convulsing and emitting burnt black smoke as it fell to the ground.
Lin Tianming initially wanted to use the Thunder Wall for defense to catch his breath before attacking.
Who would have thought that his simple defensive skill would electrocute the Fire Pattern Tusk Pig, one level higher than him, to death.
"This is too easy! You fell down before I even attacked!"
Dissipating the Thunder Wall, Lin Tianming walked over to the Fire Pattern Tusk Pig, licking his lips greedily.
"I've never had Awakened Beast meat before; today, I'll taste what you're like!"
From a hidden spot, Jiang Han watched Lin Tianming easily electrocute the Fire Pattern Tusk Pig.
However, her expression was somewhat ugly because of what Lin Tianming had said earlier about her hiding in the bushes.
"This silly boy, if I personally trained you, would I need to bring you here? Comparing me to a Fire Pattern Tusk Pig, I'll settle the score with you when we get back!"
Lin Tianming had no idea that Jiang Han was secretly ensuring his absolute safety.
Should any accidents occur, pushing Lin Tianming to his limits, she would immediately intervene to save him and take him back to the Great Emperor Academy.
However, in Jiang Han's view, Lin Tianming was unlikely to face any insurmountable crises today and was certain to break through Level 17.
Under her watch, Lin Tianming skinned the burnt surface of the Fire Pattern Tusk Pig, revealing the already cooked meat inside, and sat down on the spot to savor it.
Seeing Lin Tianming actually sitting down to eat, Jiang Han couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"This little fool, daring to sit down and eat in this Awakened Beast-filled Lost Forest! I guess soon enough, carnivorous Awakened Beasts will be attracted here, eyeing him up..."
Just as Jiang Han had predicted, Lin Tianming, who had been spending a long time at the same spot feasting on the Fire Pattern Tusk Pig, quickly attracted several carnivorous Awakened Beasts.
Accompanied by a wolf howl, several Level 17 Green-faced Wolves pounced towards Lin Tianming, intending to tear him to pieces on the spot as he was eating.
Lin Tianming immediately sensed the attack of the Green-faced Wolves and stood up instantly, stomping fiercely.
Thunderous Trample!
The powerful Thunder Power ripped through the ground, radiating from Lin Tianming as the center, striking towards the Green-faced Wolves that were lunging at him.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud explosion, the several Level 17 Green-faced Wolves let out pitiful howls and fell one by one around Lin Tianming.
Having successfully killed these Green-faced Wolves, Lin Tianming sat back down and continued gnawing on his Fire Pattern Tusk Pig meat.
Just as Lin Tianming had hardly settled down for a few seconds, wolf howls sounded again nearby.
Moreover, the howls were continuous, indicating that there were even more Green-faced Wolves nearby.
Pairs of eerie green eyes appeared from the gloomy forest surroundings, tightly focusing on Lin Tianming who had killed several of their kin, wanting to tear him apart.
As the command to attack echoed with a wolf howl, all the Green-faced Wolves present launched their attack on Lin Tianming.
These Green-faced Wolves were numerous, including several strong Level 20 Green-faced Wolves.
Faced with so many Green-faced Wolves at once, Lin Tianming lost the appetite to continue munching on the Fire Pattern Tusk Pig.
Especially when Lin Tianming saw the group of Green-faced Wolves opening their mouths collectively, condensing green crescent moons and hurling them at him, he could no longer stay seated.
Spiritual Ability Transformation!
Being surrounded by a large group of Green-faced Wolves, Lin Tianming transformed into an insubstantial Spiritual Body instantly, perfectly dodging the dense crescent moon bombardments, and also escaping the encirclement formed by the Green-faced Wolves.
Seeing Lin Tianming escape the encirclement and reform his body, the group of Green-faced Wolves' Crescent Moon Skills missed, and they pounced towards him again.
Thunder Wall!
Lin Tianming launched the Thunder Wall again, attempting to block these Green-faced Wolves like he did previously with the Fire Pattern Tusk Pig.
Unexpectedly, the Green-faced Wolves realized Lin Tianming had raised the Thunder Wall, and several of the Level 20 Green-faced Wolves, waving claws sharp as blades, collaboratively shattered Lin Tianming's Thunder Wall.
The moment the Thunder Wall was shattered, all the Level 17, Level 18, and Level 19 Green-faced Wolves collectively lifted their heads, again condensing green crescent moons and hurling them at Lin Tianming.
Seeing the organized, well-coordinated attack of the group of Green-faced Wolves, Lin Tianming also realized that fighting head-on, he would definitely be defeated by their sharp claws.
"Wolf bros, I've got something else to attend to, I'm taking a leave first!"
Raising another Thunder Wall to buy time, Lin Tianming, under the augmentation of Thunderstorm Frenzy, rapidly fled the scene.
From a hidden location, Jiang Han saw this and slightly curved his lips upward: "Friend Tianming, the Green-faced Wolves have a very sharp sense of smell; once you're targeted by them, escaping won't be easy, and constantly running away, depleting physical energy is not a wise strategy."
While Lin Tianming, boosted by Thunderstorm Frenzy and delaying with the Thunder Wall, had run a distance and seeing that the Green-faced Wolves seemingly had not caught up, he also temporarily stopped.
However, he hadn't rested for even a minute when wolf howls sounded from all directions once again.
In no time, the Green-faced Wolves which was chasing him earlier used a tactic of roundabout encirclement to surround him again in the circle.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming realized that if he continued to run like this, he would eventually be worn down to death by their keen senses.
Gazing at the Green-faced Wolves gradually closing the encirclement, Lin Tianming's body also surged with crackling electricity, his fighting spirit to confront them head-on soared.
"Since you do not want to let me go, then I have no choice but to turn all of you into roasted wolf meat!"
