Chapter 34
Chapter 34 – Ling Tian Doesn’t Fall for This Kind of Person
Though he said he didn’t like her. But if she acted out and cried or made a scene now, he would definitely be even more disgusted with her. So … no crying, no fussing, no acting stubborn! Instead, she had to continue making efforts for the future. Immediately, she held back the tears in her eyes. Then, she gazed gently at Ling Tian, “I … I will keep trying! Until I become someone you like!”
Ling Tian frowned, not bothering to continue crushing her young heart. Likes? Love? To him, those things were childish and foolish! Just like all the people in the world back then were foolish!
“Then I won’t disturb you anymore, goodbye!” Immediately after, Yan Ruoxin politely said. Then, she left with the beautiful bodyguard.
As they reached the door, she paused, “By the way, she … who is she to you?”
“I’m the landlord!” Lin Yaoyao replied.
Upon hearing this, Yan Ruoxin smiled, “I see! Goodbye!” With that, she left with the bodyguard.
At least she could confirm that Ling Tian didn’t have a girlfriend. So, she did indeed still have a chance!
“Just now … were you planning to kill that girl?” As soon as they left, Lin Yaoyao looked at Ling Tian and asked. She could sense the icy killing intent emanating from him just now.
Ling Tian simply shook his head without answering.
When a sudden beautiful girl approaches you and claims to like you, it’s either genuine or she wanted to take your life! Fortunately, Yan Ruoxin belonged to the former, so Ling Tian didn’t consider taking her life.
“Yan Yuding’s biological daughter, Lincheng’s legitimate little princess, and you rejected her just like that! Don’t you find it regrettable?” Lin Yaoyao continued with a laugh.
When Ling Tian rejected someone, she was actually happy …
“Do you think I should burden myself with someone?” Ling Tian said indifferently.
“But she’s from a wealthy family! How can that be a burden?” Lin Yaoyao was curious.
“When the apocalypse erupts, money and dung are no different!” Ling Tian continued, “At that time, most people will die, and someone like her might be no exception!”
Hearing this, Lin Yaoyao suddenly understood. Ling Tian referred to burdens after the apocalypse.
“Then … she’s quite pretty and cute!” Lin Yaoyao continued.
Did Ling Tian not have even a bit of compassion? Wasn’t it said that men have an instinctive protective nature toward women? Such a beautiful, pure, and affectionate girl, didn’t he have any protective instincts?
“In a world without rules and order during the apocalypse, being pretty is just a piece of meat for others to play with!” Ling Tian added, looking at Lin Yaoyao, “You’re the same kind of person!”
“I …” Lin Yaoyao was speechless, unable to refute. Because … it was indeed true.
If there were truly an apocalypse, would being beautiful be useful in such a world? It would just be a plaything for countless people, just like animals.
Strength mattered during the apocalypse! Beauty couldn’t feed you! Unless … you could use your beauty to cling onto someone powerful. But clearly, Ling Tian didn’t fall for that!
Just relying on a pretty face to cling onto him? That would be a burden to him, and he would ruthlessly kick it away!
“The person you’re looking for … is it an Esper?” Lin Yaoyao then asked, “What kind of ability is it?”
Ling Tian just smiled, not answering that question. If he told her now, she might pretend to be one later even if she wasn’t!
“If … if I awaken an ability but it’s not the one you’re looking for, will you … still keep me?” Lin Yaoyao whispered.
If she awakened an ability but wasn’t the one Ling Tian sought, would he still leave her?
“If you can be useful, naturally, I can keep you!” Ling Tian replied truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoyao was delighted, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t become a burden!”
As long as there was a chance. If she truly gained any abilities later, she would definitely not be a burden.
“If you won’t be a burden, then why follow me?” Ling Tian smiled.
With that statement, Lin Yaoyao was speechless once again. What he said … was indeed quite reasonable! If she already possessed the ability not to be a burden, then she didn’t need to rely on others!
“Is there anything else you want to say?” Ling Tian asked.
“N-No … nothing!” Lin Yaoyao was curious why he suddenly asked this way.
“I’ll be away for a while, during this time … be careful!” Ling Tian added nonchalantly.
“Away? Where are you going?” Lin Yaoyao immediately furrowed her brow.
“To find someone!” Ling Tian uttered two words.
To find those who inherited abilities!
“Then … when will you come back?” Lin Yaoyao continued to ask.
“Depends on the situation!” Ling Tian calmly replied.
“Are … are you cohabiting with someone else somewhere?” Lin Yaoyao suddenly thought of something. If he was looking for more than one person, was it possible that he was cohabiting with someone else somewhere else? Just like with her!
Ling Tian shook his head and left. But as he reached the door, he stopped, “Your friend at the restaurant today … was a Puppeteer!”
