《Epic Of The Second Strongest Demonic Blade King》Chapter 20 - Leaving Without Paying
Advertisement
Although Xiao Lin had thousands of spirit coins in his spatial ring which he could use to buy nice clothes for himself, he however understood that he couldn't spend such a form of currency that was extremely rare in here. Or he would have hundreds of people look at him with intensely curious and questioning gazes. And this was because they won't have any idea about the currency that he gave to them to purchase items, since they were a type of currency spent by cultivators that dwelled in the Spirit Continent, the largest continent in the world where millions of terrific and fearsomely powerful cultivation experts abounded.
So, Xiao Lin could therefore have such a shocking amounts of spirit coins because of his dad who was extremely powerful and could greatly flourish in that part of the world that took up more than sixty percent of the total land area of the entire world.
But now, since he was no longer in that part of the world and couldn't spend his spirit coins here, Xiao Lin was left with no choice than to break into people's houses or shops to steal their monies to be able to feed himself or buy things that he wanted.
So, he didn't feel bad about the burglary actions that he carried out earlier. In fact, he saw it as thrilling fun and then fully made up his mind to break into places where all sorts of currencies were kept, so he could have lots of money to spend to buy things for himself. Then Treasure Halls and Auction Houses to steal or rob them of their stored treasures and rare or unique items that he would add to his collections of artifacts.
Since he was out here on the street all by himself, Xiao Lin understood that he had to look out for only himself and not care about anyone else or their emotions and feelings. He will only care about himself and his own feelings which was to become stronger where he would be dreaded by everyone, and to rise to great fame where everyone in the world will know him.
Now, the next thing on his mind was to eat.
Then with a deep exhale and a solemn expression appearing in his face in the next instant, he walked into a really large inn across the street to go have himself fed.
When he entered, he sat at a table and relaxed himself. Although he would appear relaxed to anyone that would look at him, he however wasn't really relaxed. He was only keeping up a pretense so he could achieve what he had in mind to do in this place.

A few seconds later, a waitress appeared before him and showed him their large, three-layered meal menu.
When he perused through the meals on different sections of the food menu, Xiao Lin chose the last meal on the expensive meal section of the three-layered food menu that he was given.
He actually did so because he wanted to enjoy a great, tasty meal, and didn't want the waitress to look at him with suspecting eyes.
He understood that from the cheap robe that he wore, the waitress might be able to tell if he really had the money to be able to purchase such a costly meal. So, he therefore opted for the least expensive meal in that expensive meal section, as he didn't want the waitress to stare at him with a deeply suspicious gaze in her eyes.
Then not long, the plates containing the food that he ordered for were brought to him in a large tray.
Once they were placed on the table that he sat at, Xiao Lin removed the lids that were used to cover the plates containing the meals that he ordered for and then began to eat.
Many minutes later, after he had consumed everything in the plates, and had drank the entire contents of the small jugs of fruity wine that he was served, he began to look around nonchalantly.
He then stood from where he sat at like he had paid for his meal and began to walk towards the door at the distance. And this he did with a type of composure that wouldn't make anyone look at him with suspicious gazes in their eyes.
And as he did so, he hoped that the waitress that served him or any other waitress that worked at the inn wouldn't come to meet him and demand for payment of the food that he was served.
However, he couldn't get far when someone suddenly shouted from a distance.
"Hey! Where are you going to? Won't you pay for what you ate?" A slightly furious female voice suddenly rang out.
Xiao Lin heard that and understood that the person that shouted just now was the waitress that served him the meal that he ordered for.
He however continued towards the door in the distance like he wasn't the one being spoken to by that loud and furious voice.
"Hey, aren't you the one being shouted at?" Someone who was seated at a table where Xiao Lin had arrived at, asked with anger in his eyes.

Xiao Lin only ignored the person that spoke to him, making the person feel that he was talking to the air. And this person was actually a cultivator at the 2nd-layer Spiritual Acsendant stage. But he wasn't the only cultivator in the inn. There were many more with the highest being at the 6th-stage Spiritual Ascendance stage.
Xiao Lin had long realized this when he first entered the inn. But because he really needed to eat to satisfy his thirst and hunger, he however quenched the flame of fear that had materialized in his heart, and then orchestrated a plan within himself which might allow him to get away with what he would do in the inn.
At this point in time, the people in the inn which consisted mostly of cultivators, were busy staring at Xiao Lin with to see what he was going to do next. While Xiao Lin who had long realized in that valley that his Animal Spirit had granted him many astonishing abilities, with one of them being Super-Speed, prepared to rush out of the inn using that ability of enhanced speed that he was Bestowed with by his rare, primordial Animal Spirit.
The instant that he thought of utilizing that ability, he ejected his Animal Spirit to create a diversion for him.
Whoosh!
Grrrrraaaa!!!!
His dark red-furred, wolf-like Animal Spirit which had grown really tall and large in size, and now looked incredibly fearsome after their Spiritual Fusion, appeared far behind Xiao Lin in the inn and thunderously roared, successfully pulling everyone's full attention towards it because of it soul-chilling and mind-tingling roar, and then the dazzlingly brilliant red light that it emanated from it entire figure upon it sudden appearance.
Once everyone's narrowed eyes and studious gazes were totally pulled away from Xiao Lin towards his Battle Beast Spirit that had abruptly appeared in the distance, successfully creating an opportunity of escape for Xiao Lin in the process, Xiao Lin's pupils became slit-shaped, and his eyes, intensely blood-red, in the instant that he deployed the ability of Super-Speed which he was bestowed with by his phenomenal Animal Spirit. Also, a blood-red aura that surprisingly gave off a strongly overwhelming ferric smell, and began to seethe about his body, manifested around his figure.
He then rushed out of the large inn and into the far distance at a speed that would go above that of a 6th-layer Spiritual Ascendant.
Swoosh!
He pierced through the air on feet like he was a tremendously fast arrow that was furiously fired from a bow.
When the Animal Spirit in the inn disappeared a few seconds later because Xiao Lin had recalled it, the cultivators who were totally distracted in their observation of Xiao Lin to see what he would do, realized to their shock that Xiao Lin had disappeared.
Then when they rushed out of the inn to see where he was and to catch up with him, they couldn't see him again.
"Damn. That brat got away. But that's quite fast. Is he actually a first-layer Spiritual Ascendant?" One asked with shock in his tone.
"I don't know. But I have memorized his face. So anywhere I see him, I will bring back here to pay for the expensive meal that he enjoyably consumed" Another righteously said while the rest nodded their heads in agreement.
Then they went back into the inn to continue eating their meal. While some left since they were done.
Xiao Lin who was now extremely far away from the inn since he continued to run at a really high speed due to the astonishing Super Stamina ability that he was granted by his Animal Spirit, began to think of what next to do from here.
Then a great thought struck him.
'Why not join a criminal association like a bandit group or something? Only from there will you go on many theft and robbing missions and in the process, acquire lots of money and tons of treasures and cultivation resources for yourself to be able to rapidly increase your cultivation level and ascend to great fame'
Once this evil thought appeared in his mind, a somewhat fiendish smile crept up Xiao Lin's face.
"That's just what I am going to do. Then slowly, I will rise to power and dethrone the leader of the bandit group and then make the criminal organization mine. While the members of my organization of outlaws, will work hard to constantly feed me with large supplies of treasures and cultivation resources. Haha! This is a good scheme for rise to world conquest" Xiao Lin said and laughed with a sharp and evil glint in his eyes.

Dungeon Scholar
Girl meets dungeon. What could go right? A story of a good-hearted Scholar driven by her compassion and curiosity. She might be a little combat averse, but um, isn't that only logical? Love me a good grimdark, but sometimes I want to read feel-good fiction that isn't pure action, romance, or comedy. The plot and characters of Dungeon Scholar won't be all happy and fluffy, and the world will be more dungeons and monsters than rainbows and puppies, but overall the sweet moments should overshadow the bitter. Let's say three dollops of sugar for every pinch of salt, with lemon slices left on the saucers? Enjoy. Note: This is NOT a typical dungeon story. If you are here for the dungeon aspect, then fair warning this will seem incredibly slow-burn to you. The dungeon will eventually become the most important 'character,' arguably, or the second-most important narratively, but you might jump out the window in frustration long before that happens. At its heart, the story's core remains 'girl meets dungeon,' not 'dungeon meets world.' (To be clear, this does or will have a plot! It's just the more conventional story-like elements contribute to Rowena Loress's greater story, not the other way around; no conflict takes center stage until it becomes personally significant to her. Meanwhile, have some Slice of Life.) Updates every Friday Cover made using Waifulabs Written using 4thewords (referral code: UZJRY55368)
