LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 63: God’s Grip
“Hmph~” Sui Li’er suddenly let out a light snort.
〚 Ding~ Target: Sui Li’er, jealousy! – 1 million points! 〛
Chen Ling immediately turned his head and saw Sui Li’er pouting her small mouth. The hand that had just reached out was immediately withdrawn and went straight towards her mouth. With clearly defined knuckles, his index finger lightly flicked her pouted lips.
“Ber~” A soft sound as the lips lightly flicked.
“What are you doing~ hmph!” Sui Li’er licked her lips and pouted again.
Chen Ling “ber~” flicked her lips once more, unable to help but smile. “Daring to be jealous, huh?”
“Woo~” Sui Li’er quickly pressed her pouted lips together. “I’m not jealous at all, why would I be jealous? Hmph~”
This time, her lips no longer pouted, denying Chen Ling the chance to flick them. All of this was naturally observed by the young man in front of them.
Inner thoughts: Hiss! Are they a couple? What a pity, they look so good together! Can’t they show affection somewhere else? Damn it…
Yan Ran, on the other hand, looked at Chen Ling expressionlessly, never taking her eyes off him. Sui Li’er’s strength, due to the curse, she couldn’t perceive it either. So she was judged to be a powerless waste with no energy fluctuations.
What interested her more was Chen Ling. This young man’s strength was definitely not simple. She then extended her hand.
“Hello, I am Yan Ran from the Aries Celestial Academy, Head Instructor of Class 7.”
Chen Ling, seeing her reach out her hand, smiled gently.
“Clap!” He firmly held her hand, which felt completely different from Sui Li’er’s hand.
Sui Li’er’s hand was soft and boneless, while Yan Ran’s hand, although delicate, felt full of strength when he held it. “Hello, I’m Chen Ling.”
A handshake, just a gesture of courtesy, but for Chen Ling, it carries a sense of ritual. Later it would be known as the “God’s Grip!”
〚 Ding~ Target successfully bound, Target: Yan Ran 〛
〚 Yan Ran: Female, Age: 24 〛
〚 Magic Level: High-level Grand Mage 〛
〚 Curse Star: Aries 3690 〛
〚 Curse: Toothache when eating 〛
“Hehe~” Chen Ling suddenly grinned.
After shaking hands, Yan Ran tried to retract her hand but found that Chen Ling was holding it tightly. Her eyes narrowed: “What do you want?”
“Can I punch you?”
The surroundings fell silent, and everyone heard Chen Ling’s words, causing them all to freeze momentarily.
“Hahaha!”
Suddenly, laughter erupted: “What is this brat saying…”
Before the sentence could be completed, Yan Ran’s expression suddenly froze!
“BOOM!”
The world before everyone’s eyes suddenly seemed distorted, contracting around Chen Ling and Yan Ran as the center, compressing to an extreme point. It was as if everything was being compressed to its utmost limit, then it suddenly exploded, unleashing a roaring blaze.
The people around were engulfed by the fiery waves and the force of the explosion, leaving them with injuries. Cries of pain filled the street for a moment!
Chen Ling’s laughter rang out: “Wow! You have quick reflexes! Impressive, impressive!”
The flames gradually dissipated, and the people around all lay heavily on the ground. Chen Ling held Sui Li’er in mid-air, looking down at Yan Ran in the center of the large black circle on the ground, with a smug smile on his face.
Yan Ran’s spell activation speed was too fast, even Chen Ling couldn’t help but be amazed. At that moment, he only saw a flash of golden light before the runes appeared, and the spell had already formed. The ground was scorched by her raging flames.
Yan Ran, at this moment, had transformed her boundless anger into blazing flames. The explosion just now wasn’t caused by Chen Ling, but by Yan Ran. If she hadn’t been concerned about harming the innocent, this area might have already been destroyed.
However, even so, the energy at the center of the explosion just now could have killed anyone present except for Chen Ling.
This was one of the exclusive high-level spells of the Aries constellation: [Annihilation Burst].
But Chen Ling hadn’t been harmed in the slightest. On the contrary, Yan Ran’s body on the side where she had shaken hands with Chen Ling had been crippled. Her arm on that side was now immobile, and she stood in a very strange posture.
She furrowed her brow and looked at Chen Ling with sharp eyes. Despite enduring tremendous pain, there was still no fear in her gaze.
And the young man standing beside her had been immediately thrown aside by Yan Ran during the explosion to protect him.
〚 Ding~ Target: Yan Ran, feels angry! Points deducted: -1! 〛
“Sigh… Alright.” Chen Ling lost interest in her when he saw the -1 points deducted. Not even a screen refresh. It seems she’s a normal person. Well, sorry for the disturbance.
“Restoration Spell.”
〚 Ding~ Target is being restored. 〛
Afterward, Chen Ling disappeared with Sui Li’er.
Yan Ran had been enduring the intense pain and forcing herself to stand, but after Chen Ling’s restoration spell was completed, the pain in her body suddenly vanished. She lifted the arm that had been crippled earlier in astonishment.
She furrowed her brow involuntarily: “What kind of spell is this?”
Then, she looked towards the spot where Chen Ling had stood suspended just now and narrowed her eyes: “Who exactly are you?”
Just then, the young man also ran over in a panic, wanting to support Yan Ran: “Mentor! Are you okay?”
Yan Ran’s gaze hardened, and she shook off his hand that was about to touch her arm, saying: “I’m fine, let’s go back to the academy.”
“Okay.” Without caring about the people lying on the ground around them, they headed straight towards the academy.
Along the way, Yan Ran wore a gloomy expression on her face, but as they walked, that gloom gradually turned into an excited smile. “Chen Ling, right? I’ll remember you. You’re really strong.”
At this moment, Chen Ling had already arrived on the other side of the city with Sui Li’er.
〚 Ding~ Target: Yan Ran, feels excited, points +1! 〛
Chen Ling rolled his eyes at the situation and couldn’t help but say: “What’s wrong with you? Masochistic? You’re happy after getting beaten?”
But she didn’t bother with her. Yan Ran couldn’t spam, so she could only add 1 point.
However, Chen Ling was pondering why Yan Ran couldn’t spam. She had considerable strength, and she was also attractive. Logically, after being beaten by him, she should have gone crazy and retaliated…
Go crazy?
Oh, come to think of it, she didn’t seem to have much emotional fluctuation. She remained relatively calm throughout.
Chen Ling thought for a moment and realized he should have bound the young man who was by Yan Ran’s side earlier. That young man seemed a bit more immature and crazier than her. Maybe the crazier the person, the more points deducted? He would try it next time.
Sui Li’er looked at Chen Ling in front of her and added another rule for interacting Lord God: Rule Five: Don’t shake hands with Lord God, or you’ll get beaten!
At the same time, she would never feel jealous again. When it came to beating girls, Lord God never showed mercy…
Chen Ling lowered his head and saw Sui Li’er looking at him with a bewildered expression. He gently placed her on the ground. Then, instinctively, he reached out his hand, wanting to hold Sui Li’er’s hand.
Sui Li’er instinctively took a step back and said, “Wu~ You, you won’t hit me, right?”
In her mind, reaching out her hand to hold his hand and Chen Ling reaching out his hand to hold hers had clearly become two separate and distinct concepts.
Chen Ling was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter suddenly. “No need to hold hands.”
“Wu~ I want to!” Sui Li’er quickly stepped forward and grabbed Chen Ling’s hand, preventing him from retracting it.
“Hmph~” She caught him!
Chen Ling glanced at her and threatened, “Aren’t you afraid? Do you believe me if I say I’ll hit you?”
Rule One for dealing with Lord God: When the Lord God asks if you believe him, you say you don’t believe.
“Hmph~ I don’t believe!”
Chen Ling chuckled lightly again and didn’t say anything.
“Hehe~” Sui Li’er smiled happily and gently swung his hand as they walked.
“Chen Ling, why did you hit that big sister just now?”
Chen Ling replied indifferently, “I relaxed her bones a bit, now she’s fine, so don’t worry.”
“Oh~ What about the ones before? Those people in black, did you heal them too?”
“No, I didn’t. They weren’t good people to begin with.”
“Oh~ Alright then.” Sui Li’er nodded.
Chen Ling smiled and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you scared? Scared that I’ll suddenly get angry and hit you one day?”
“I’m not scared, you won’t hit me!”
“Ber~” Chen Ling suddenly flicked her on the head.
“Wu~ It hurts! Wuwu~” Sui Li’er quickly let go of his hand and held her head in pain.
Chen Ling laughed heartily and said, “Healing Spell.”
Then Sui Li’er naturally didn’t feel any pain anymore. “Wuwu~”
“It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt anymore.”
“Wuwu~ You, you can’t hit me!”
Chen Ling grinned and said, “How about you hit me then?”
“Eihei! Can I flick your head?” Sui Li’er suddenly wiped away her tears and smiled as she looked at Chen Ling.
The game they used to play as children, where they flicked each other’s heads, had been a long time ago. She was feeling the itch to play again!
Chen Ling narrowed his eyes and smiled, gently brushing aside the silver strands of hair on his forehead.
“Wu~”
Chen Ling, who had a somewhat delicate appearance, suddenly brushed his hair aside. His pair of sword-like eyebrows were fully revealed, and his facial features instantly became more prominent, as if his aura had completely changed. He transformed from a seemingly harmless young boy into a cold-blooded killer-like figure.
