LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 93: Interdimensional Travel And A Wife, I Want Them Both!
〚 Target: : Zen Douzhi:Male, Age: 18, Magic Level: Intermediate Mage, Curse Star: Aries & Fire Element 38438, Curse: Receives a slap on average for every 10 sentences spoken〛
Chen Ling was speechless when he saw that curse. Were you born for me to slap you?
“Smack!” A heavy slap sent him spiraling into the air, spinning several times before rolling on the ground, getting battered and bruised.
Everyone was shocked by what they witnessed! This person dared to act directly, even with the mentors present.
The expressions on the faces of the deans of the Aries Celestial Academy were varied.
One dean furrowed their brow and coldly said, “Lawless.”
But the dean of the Pisces·Lotus Academy pursed their lips and smiled, “I find this young man quite interesting~”
“Hahaha, I also find it interesting. He’s brave, probably a mage from the Fire Element star sign.”
Another person chuckled, “He’s brave but reckless.”
However, Qitian Ming looked at Chen Ling in the screen with a solemn expression.
He knew Chen Ling’s name, the one who captured the dark mage Min Jiangyun and left a mark in the sky of Aries·Misty Rain City.
“Everyone, continue watching. I’ll go to the bathroom.” Qitian Ming stood up directly after speaking.
“Hey, little fatty, don’t leave. It’ll be boring without you around for this sister.” Qitian Ming turned around and saw the dean of the Pisces Academy winking at him, causing him to get goosebumps. Internally: What a freak!
He slipped away!
Qitian Ming left the room and headed straight for the Qianling Volcanic Gorge.
This was the grand examination of the Twelve Academies, and he was afraid that Chen Ling would cause trouble!
Meanwhile, inside the Qianling Volcanic Gorge, Yan Ran was furious and gritting her teeth.
“Chen Ling! You better stop!”
Chen Ling glanced at her and said, “You mind your own business, and I’ll mind mine. Do we have a conflict?”
Yan Ran: “…”
“He is a candidate! I have a responsibility to ensure his safety!”
“Oh, don’t worry. I won’t kill him. I suggest you mind your own business, unless you want a slap too?” After speaking, Chen Ling held Sui Li’er in his arms, his gaze icy as he stared at Yan Ran. His expression clearly said: Say one more word and see what happens.
Sui Li’er dared not make a sound in his arms! She used to complain that Chen Ling was harsh with her, but now she realized that he was even harsher with Yan Ran. Sigh~ I won’t complain about you anymore. You better be good…
Others: ?? What the heck? Who is this person? How can he be so arrogant?
Yan Ran is a high-level grand mage! He just talks about slapping her without hesitation. What level is he at? Is he a Curse Master?
“You!” Yan Ran wanted to say something else, but Xi Wei’er quickly grabbed her arm.
“Yan Ran, let it go.” Xi Wei’er knew that if they continued, it would only further infuriate Chen Ling and embarrass themselves. She still vividly remembered that crazy night with Chen Ling.
Yan Ran clenched her teeth tightly, her eyes filled with frustration and unwillingness. This was the first time she encountered someone as unreasonable as Chen Ling. She was, after all, a genius and a beauty!
To be honest, not just men, even little boys liked her a lot. But this Chen Ling… he seemed to be impervious to it all. She suddenly felt both aggrieved and unwilling. Why did he always oppose her?
Seeing her expression, Chen Ling sneered and walked towards Zen Douzhi, who was lying on the ground. This guy hadn’t deducted his points yet, so he couldn’t let him off easily. He couldn’t hold the God’s hand for nothing. He had to pay a handshake fee.
“Get up.”
Zen Douzhi, lying on the ground, lifted his head and glared fiercely at Chen Ling. With a thought, several runes appeared around him.
Chen Ling pursed his lips and his aura burst forth, dispersing all those runes.
Everyone around was shocked once again: The power just now was too terrifying, wasn’t it? This person is truly a Curse Master!?
The entire venue fell into silence, and no one dared to breathe loudly. Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Chen Ling and Sui Li’er.
〚 Ding~ Target: Zen Douzhi, abnormal emotions, points -10.〛
“Tsk…” Chen Ling, feeling helpless, pursed his lips and didn’t want to bother with him anymore. Deducting only 10 points at a time was a waste of effort.
So he returned with Sui Li’er and said, “Alright, let the assessment continue.”
Feeling something was off, he looked at Yan Ran and said, “Oh, that’s your line, sorry.”
Then he stood there, holding Sui Li’er, silently waiting, his eyes lifeless as he looked at the Qianling Volcanic Gorge in front of him. He thought to himself: If I blow this thing up, will I lose a lot of points? Or should I wait a bit and have Sui Li’er take the test? Yeah, that’s the right decision.
After he turned around, everyone else also turned around, not daring to look at him. But for some reason, they felt a chill down their spines and had a sense of foreboding.
Yan Ran took a deep breath and tried to calm herself, saying, “Please wait a moment, all candidates. We’re still missing the Leo Academy’s mentor and the Sagittarius Academy’s mentor. The assessment will begin once all the mentors are present.”
For the Fire Element assessment, it naturally required the presence of mentors from all the Fire Element academies.
〚 Ding~ Target: Sui Li’er, feeling happy, points +100,000! 〛
Chen Ling lowered his head and looked, only to find Sui Li’er blushing and secretly enjoying herself in his embrace. He was immediately filled with question marks. Why was she blushing like a kettle?
“Mind Reading!”
( Hehe, he’s even holding me in front of everyone! )
( Does this count as a hug? )
( Hee~ )
Chen Ling suddenly realized upon seeing those bullet comments. He had been holding her all this time. But whatever, who cares? Adding 100,000 points at once wasn’t much pressure.
In a few seconds, Min Jiangyun would deduct 2 million points from him. Ever since he had joined, his points had been steadily decreasing. Now he had dropped from 40 billion to just over 20 billion, and the day of zeroing out his points was imminent.
Interdimensional travel and a wife, I want them both!
After a while, he saw Zen Douzhi, who he had slapped to the ground earlier, pass by him sullenly. He couldn’t help but remember his curse. He was truly a strange one.
On average, 1 out of 10 sentences would result in a slap. How was this calculated? Chen Ling wondered if his life was predetermined to receive a few slaps.
What exactly controlled the curses in this world?
Suddenly, Chen Ling thought of something. I’m not from this world. I came here and added a bit of unpredictability to his fate. If we assume that he will receive 100,000 slaps in his lifetime, if I were to slap him with those 100,000 slaps today, would he still receive slaps for his smart mouth in the future?
If he does, then it wouldn’t be an average of 1 slap per 10 sentences anymore; the curse would change. If he doesn’t, then it means his fate has changed.
Or is it that the curse was calculated based on Chen Ling’s arrival? This question that he was pondering, seemingly trivial, could potentially hold the truth about the curse. Perhaps it could even unravel Sui Li’er’s curse.
What exactly is this curse in the world? The system didn’t even provide any information. Chen Ling wanted to figure it out, but he could only explore it bit by bit.
So, he walked towards Zen Douzhi once again. In his heart, he couldn’t help but feel amazed: You’re truly born for me…
When Sui Li’er saw Chen Ling walking away, she couldn’t help but raise her head and glance at him, only to notice his eccentric smile on his face. In her mind: Oh~ His smile is so attractive, I really like it~
Maybe this is what they mean by “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
“Hey, good brother.”
As Chen Ling spoke, using that classic line, they all had their backs turned to him, thinking he was talking to them. This frightened the people around him, who quickly moved away.
Nobody wanted to be his good brother.
