Chapter 103: Yanran's Kiss! Successful Progress in the Strategy!

After pulling Lin Tianming away and shaking off Wang Jian, Wang Yanran finally let go of his hand.

Lin Tianming then asked, "Senior Sister Yanran, is there something important you need to talk to me about?"

[It's not really important, I just want to chat with you!]

Hearing Wang Yanran’s immediate inner response, Lin Tianming pretended not to have heard anything and waited for her outward reply.

"Junior Brother Tianming, there's a lot that's important! For example, where exactly did you go these past three days? You have to answer honestly!"

Lin Tianming replied, "I went to Linnan Ancient City for a trip."

[Linnan Ancient City? I’ve been there once. I remember the ancient architecture and there’s even an ice and snow park? So, he really went on a trip?]

As she found out where Lin Tianming went, Wang Yanran continued walking with him and asked another question.

"Did you go alone?"

"I went with my girlfriend, Ye Qingxue."

[Our Qingxue?]

[He took so much advantage of me those days, and then he turns around and goes on vacation with another girl!]

[What a shameless rogue!]

Internally scolding Lin Tianming, Wang Yanran's previously happy expression instantly darkened.

Lin Tianming also heard her inner thoughts and couldn’t agree more with her words.

What does she mean by taking advantage of her?

She was the one trying to lure him into the woods to kill him, and he only hugged her out of necessity!

He had been avoiding her every day, and it was she who kept trying to get close to him for revenge!

Moreover, going on a vacation with his legitimate girlfriend Ye Qingxue isn’t a crime, is it?

Before he knew it, Lin Tianming found himself following Wang Yanran to the Flaming Awakening Grounds.

Upon arriving there, Lin Tianming couldn't help but recall the night he almost died there by her hands.

Was she planning to use the same trick again?

"Junior Brother Tianming, come in. This way, no one will disturb us!"

"Senior Sister Yanran, let’s not go in here!"

Noticing Lin Tianming's reluctance, Wang Yanran frowned.

[I'm not going to kill you this time, what are you afraid of!]

Muttering in her heart, Wang Yanran said, "Junior Brother Tianming, don’t worry. I promise we’ll just have a normal conversation this time!"

Lin Tianming was skeptical of her words.

However, hearing her inner voice without any killing intent, he agreed.

"Alright then, so why did you bring me here, Senior Sister Yanran? What do you want to talk about?"

On this, Wang Yanran said, "Indeed, there's something inconvenient to discuss outside. Your teacher Jiang Han came to me, asking about the incident with the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider that night."

Hearing Wang Yanran talk about this, Lin Tianming pretended not to know anything as he had just left Jiang Han.

"You told her everything?"

Wang Yanran looked somewhat guilty in response to his question.

[I didn't want to tell her initially because it involved us killing a god-level monster, which is a huge deal. Even though Jiang Han is your teacher, we couldn’t tell her everything.]

[But your teacher Jiang Han practically figured out how we defeated the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider based on her investigation at the scene… I had no choice but to admit it...]

Reflecting on this, Wang Yanran lowered her head, unable to meet Lin Tianming's gaze.

She apologized softly, "I'm sorry... Junior Brother Tianming, I told your teacher Jiang Han everything. She knows you killed that Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider..."

Lin Tianming, through Wang Yanran's inner voice, understood why she felt so guilty.

She probably thought that due to the life-threatening situation, he revealed parts of his Divine Hand’s secrets only to her and that his teacher Jiang Han didn't know much about them.

She also believed that his relationship with Jiang Han wasn’t close enough to share the secrets of his abilities, thus feeling so guilty.

However, she was overthinking it. Jiang Han knew more about his Divine Hand than he did, as she was the one who developed its potential.

This was a secret between Lin Tianming and Jiang Han that he didn’t plan to share with Wang Yanran.

But he was happy that she was nervous about telling him this.

It showed that their relationship had significantly improved since the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider crisis.

Previously, Wang Yanran wanted to kill him due to the original owner's actions in a past life, having no emotional foundation with the original owner.

Now, after going through the life-and-death experience that night, she didn’t hate him as much anymore.

This was a good start!

Lin Tianming didn’t expect her to immediately let go of her resentment towards the original owner. Slow and steady progress was fine.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to improve her favorability, Lin Tianming said, "Senior Sister Yanran, you didn’t do it on purpose. It’s okay to tell Teacher Jiang Han. You don’t need to feel so guilty."

"Junior Brother Tianming..."

Wang Yanran was very moved by Lin Tianming’s understanding.

She had thought that by confessing to Jiang Han, Lin Tianming would be angry.

To her surprise, Lin Tianming wasn’t angry but comforted her, which increased her affection for him.

[Junior Brother Tianming is so nice!]

Hearing her inner voice, Lin Tianming confirmed that his actions had indeed increased her favorability.

Keep it up, Lin Tianming. You can definitely win over Wang Yanran eventually!

Encouraging himself, Lin Tianming was very pleased with his progress in winning over Wang Yanran.

Simultaneously, he had to thank the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider he killed.

Without its interference, his relationship with Wang Yanran wouldn’t have improved so quickly.

Wang Yanran’s uneasy mood was relieved by Lin Tianming’s comfort, and she smiled.

"Junior Brother Tianming, I haven’t properly thanked you for saving me that night. I also accidentally revealed your secret to your teacher. Yet, you’re not mad at me...

How about this, tell me what gift you want, and I’ll satisfy your request!"

Hearing this, Lin Tianming had a strange look in his eyes, "Anything?"

"Yes, just tell me!"

[As the daughter of one of the four great awakening families in the capital, the Wang family, I can easily use my family's power to get you whatever you want!]

[But don’t think this means I’ve forgiven you for what you did to me in a past life. This is just a simple thank you!]

[Once this is over, I’ll still settle the score with you!]

Listening to Wang Yanran’s confident inner voice, Lin Tianming decided to tease her.

She said she could use her family's power to easily get him anything he wanted, right?

He would ask for something that even the Wang family’s power couldn’t get him!

With this playful thought, Lin Tianming joked with Wang Yanran.

"I want a kiss from Senior Sister Yanran as a gift. Will you give it to me?"

Upon hearing Lin Tianming's excessive request, Wang Yanran’s face showed a look of anger and embarrassment.

"You..."

[Rogue! Scoundrel! Scumbag! I thought your personality might have changed after reincarnation, but you’re still so bold and shameless!]

Lin Tianming was just joking to tease her, and hearing her angry inner voice, he quickly explained to avoid ruining their hard-won improved relationship.

"Senior Sister Yanran, I was just joking..."

But before he could finish, Wang Yanran suddenly moved closer and lightly kissed his lips.

Lin Tianming was dumbfounded by the kiss.

He was just joking, and she seemed very angry in her inner voice, so why did she do it for real?

And not just a kiss on the cheek, but on the lips!

After kissing Lin Tianming, Wang Yanran’s face turned red down to her neck.

"There, you got it. Satisfied? And... don’t tell anyone!"

With that, Wang Yanran quickly fled the scene.

[What was I doing? I actually kissed that rogue!]

[Whatever, it was his request, and he did save my life, and I revealed his secret to his teacher. This kiss is to repay the favor!]

[We’re even now. Next time... next time, I’ll definitely kill him, yes... definitely!]
