Chapter 88: The Gentle Goddess of Tianshui! Too Gentle to Kill the Original Owner, Only Wants to Escape Reality!
At the same time Lin Tianming discovered Tianshui, Tianshui, who was walking on the waves on the Nether Cold Bridge, also noticed Lin Tianming immediately.
Standing on the huge wave, she looked calmly at Lin Tianming, who had already reached the other side, but her heart was far from calm.
[It's him again... I hoped not to see each other in this life, so why did I encounter little brother Tianming in the Ice and Snow Secret Realm?]
[Shouldn't he be obediently cultivating and leveling up in the Imperial Capital Great Emperor Academy in this life?]
Due to encountering Lin Tianming, waves surged in her heart. Tianshui took a deep breath and continued to quickly traverse the Nether Cold Bridge on the waves.
Compared to Lin Tianming, a low-level awakener who had just awakened his ability for more than two months, Tianshui easily crossed the Nether Cold Bridge.
Neither the Nether souls on the bridge nor the increasingly terrifying cold as one approached the other side could hinder Tianshui in the slightest.
Watching Tianshui swiftly cross the Nether Cold Bridge, and recalling the girl who followed Tianshui during the day and called her Teacher Tianshui, Lin Tianming was certain she was a high-level awakener.
[Why do I feel like he seems a bit... afraid of me? Could it be that he recognizes me?]
[That should be impossible. I'm the one who was reborn. He should have entered the secret realm with that girl by his side and got separated. Encountering me, a stranger, made him so vigilant.]
Tianshui stared at Lin Tianming for a while, then showed a gentle smile like water: "Don't be nervous, I'm also an awakener seeking opportunities in this Ice and Snow Secret Realm. Little brother, we met at the ancient architecture complex in Lingnan Ancient City during the day. I remember there was a girl of similar age by your side. You must have been separated in this secret realm, right?"
Whether it was her inner voice or her tone of speaking, Lin Tianming couldn't feel any killing intent from this Teacher Tianshui.
He hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, we got separated as soon as we entered this Ice and Snow Secret Realm."
Tianshui was not surprised by Lin Tianming's answer.
She gently explained to Lin Tianming: "Once you enter this Ice and Snow Secret Realm, even if you come in with someone, you will be randomly teleported to a point within it. I didn't expect we were so fated to be teleported to this Nether Cold Bridge."
"It is quite a coincidence." Lin Tianming didn't want to be so fated with Tianshui.
Meeting her meant facing another mess left by the original owner.
Not only did he not want to be fated with Tianshui, but Tianshui also didn't want such a fate with him.
[Such fate is not a good thing. If possible, I really don't want to meet you again in this life...]
With a sigh in her heart, Tianshui maintained her gentle and soft expression, making it hard for anyone to get angry at such a gentle woman.
"My name is Tianshui, a teacher at Shuijing Academy in Donghai City, Kyushu. What's your name, little brother?"
Knowing who he was but pretending it was the first time they met, Lin Tianming also responded as she wished.
"You're actually a teacher at a high-level awakener academy? Nice to meet you, Teacher Tianshui. My name is Lin Tianming, a student at the Imperial Capital Great Emperor Academy."
"Lin Tianming from the Imperial Capital Great Emperor Academy? I think I've heard of you. You're the freshman who's been quite popular online recently for personally defeating the second-year student Lei Dong, who represented Kyushu in the global high-level awakener academy competition!"
"You're flattering me, Teacher Tianshui. I didn't expect you to know about these things. Hehe!"
"With your talent, you have a good chance of winning the championship for Kyushu in the global high-level awakener academy competition a year from now. Although you're not from our Shuijing Academy, I still look forward to your performance!"
Tianshui's gentle voice, combined with her gentle and soft demeanor and smile, made Lin Tianming feel warm from the inside out in this icy and snowy secret realm.
This Teacher Tianshui is too gentle!
"Thank you for thinking highly of me, Teacher Tianshui. I will work hard to cultivate and strive to bring glory to Kyushu in a year. By the way, Teacher Tianshui, where is the girl who was with you during the day? Did you get separated from her too?"
Facing Lin Tianming's question, Tianshui gently replied: "I just brought that child to Lingnan Ancient City for fun. This Ice and Snow Secret Realm is too dangerous for her, so I left her to rest at a nearby hotel."
Lin Tianming suddenly understood: "I see..."
"Wait for me for a moment. I'll take care of this Nether Cold Bridge, and then we can travel together. With me accompanying you, you'll be safer."
[Although I don't want to meet him again, since we have, I'll protect him out. Let's consider it ending our previous life's grudges. After we get out, we won't have any more connections.]
To be honest, if it weren't for hearing Tianshui's inner voice confirming she had no killing intent towards him, Lin Tianming wouldn't dare to follow this goddess reborn, who was definitely wronged by the original owner, upon first meeting her.
At the same time, Lin Tianming's mind recalled the question he had during the day.
Listening to her inner voice, she was indeed wronged by the original owner.
However, unlike other goddess reborn who were wronged by the original owner, she had no killing intent towards him, only not wanting to see him again.
Could it be that she is so gentle that she doesn't want to kill him in this life and instead avoids him through never seeing him again?
As Lin Tianming pondered this, his system finally prompted him.
[The system has automatically bound the goddess of Tianshui, Tianshui, within the range. The host can perfectly listen to the inner voice of the goddess of Tianshui, Tianshui!]
[Tianshui, a teacher at Shuijing Academy in Donghai City, Kyushu, possesses SSS-level water attribute ability, with powerful combat strength and divine water attribute healing power, destined to be the future goddess of Tianshui.
Before rebirth, during the period when the original owner killed the master of the Feng family in the Imperial Capital and was being hunted, she encountered the severely injured original owner, Lin Tianming, by accident.
With a gentle and kind nature, Tianshui, unaware of Lin Tianming's true identity, helped and saved him.
The saved Lin Tianming used his charming words to win Tianshui's heart and secured a temporary hiding place.
Unfortunately, the original owner, Lin Tianming, who had harmed so many people, was incorrigible. Upon learning that Tianshui possessed pure water essence, he took it from her while she was defenseless during cultivation. Tianshui only learned later that the man who harmed her was the notorious Lin Tianming.
Heartbroken, Tianshui, due to her overly gentle nature, kept avoiding the fact that Lin Tianming had almost killed her by taking her pure water essence.
Shortly after Lin Tianming took her pure water essence, news of his tragic death reached her.
This became her heart's demon as she ascended to godhood, and she ultimately perished during a battle protecting Shuijing Academy students when the era of the three great ascension divine nations arrived.]
After reading the system's information about Teacher Tianshui, Lin Tianming fell into silence.
It turned out to be as he thought; this teacher with a consistently gentle appearance, demeanor, and personality was too gentle to kill him.
From Tianshui's information, Lin Tianming also understood that the original owner harmed so many people, and encountering such a gentle person like Tianshui who kindly took him in didn't change him. He continued harming others for power.
If he had reformed under Tianshui's kind shelter and lived a good life anonymously, it wouldn't have been a bad choice.
Unfortunately, the original owner harmed so many people without any intention of repentance. He was truly wicked!
Having seen the information about many goddess reborn, Lin Tianming was becoming increasingly curious.
How exactly did such a conniving original owner die?
