Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality

Chapter 268 Crying Baby

When the large black cloth rises all of a sudden and covers the entire old campus of the Textile School inside, the cultivators on the outside of the wall can’t see what is happening on the inside, and they’re more nervous than those on the inside.

Why there is such a large black cloth? No one can figure it out. This kind of thing is out of their recognition. White mist surrounds the area outside of the wall and everybody has to step down. As for Liu Zheng, the second he thinks about Lin Luoran being trapped inside, he gets worried very much.

He makes a few attacks against the black cloth and his attacks are absorbed by it. The black cloth stays unscathed.

The sniper rifles that can blow off the head of vampires can’t hurt the black cloth. The bullets just keep being bounced back.

Lu Sanchun is reporting to his superiors and asks for permission to use heavy weapons. Of course, the high-rank officials won’t agree to this. They refuse Lu’s proposal with the excuse of too much disturbance of the citizens.

Commander Qin tells Lu Sanchun to wait. Wait? Lu Sanchun feels that his agitated heart is calming down. He should believe in Lin Luoran and he should wait.

Liu Zheng keeps thinking while staring at the bullet shells on the ground. Will they have a big win if they can combine heavy weapons with cultivators’ spells?

This is such a fantastic idea. Liu Zheng picks up some bullet shells and puts them in his sleeves. While doing this, he accidentally stretches the wound on the back of his hand. He hurries to tear down a piece of his Taoist robe and wraps it around his hand.

When everybody is waiting anxiously, something in the air shades the dazzling sunlight for a second. Its big wings cast a shadow in the ground.

Many people can’t help looking up. In the mid-air, Goldie spreads its wings. It is a lot bigger than before and it is swirling in the air without making any sound. If you look closer, you’ll see that there is a comb-shaped thing on its head, like a pretty little crown.

Goldie seems to be more strong and vigorous and its features have become pure gold. Its sharp claws shine under the light. Goldie is so eye-catching. Of course, cultivators on the scene won’t call it “Huaxia’s mysterious hawk”. They all know that this is Master Lin’s pet!

“Is Goldie your Plan B?” Liu Zheng says to himself. He can’t fully understand Lin Luoran’s thoughts.

............

Those who are trapped in the Textile School are actually more relaxed than what the cultivators on the outside are imagining.

The cultivators all come to talk with Lin Luoran and even ask her to solve their confusion during daily cultivation. At first, Lin Luoran answers whatever question she is asked. Soon, she becomes speechless. Her knowledge of the world of cultivation is really not much compared with those who have a master. There are so many things that she is still confused about!

Wen Runlan just asked Lin about the planting of magic circles. Come on! Lin Luoran is not an encyclopedia of cultivation. There are too many means of cultivation in the world and there is no chance that Lin knows every one of them.

Lin Luoran doesn’t have the answer to Wen Runlan’s question. However, the young man keeps staring at her with admiration like he is a real fan of hers. Lin Luoran actually has a hard time saying things to turn him down. Fortunately, a sharp scream comes and draws everybody’s attention. The bat monster finally can’t stand the easy atmosphere of the cultivators and it makes the attack.

It’s here! Lin Luoran even wants to thank the bat monster for coming out at this moment. She looks at the direction of the scream.

The cultivators stop discussing on cultivation. They start to cast spells and take out their swords, getting ready to fight.

Out of everybody’s expectation, what has come out is not a vampire which drinks human blood or the bat monster that speaks human language... A pink little face appears in the black mist. It’s a baby who had just been born for days and it is sleeping. It seems to be harmless if it isn’t floating in the mid-air among the black mist.

However, the baby can’t be normal... A gold needle appears on Lin Luoran’s fingertip. She prepares herself and waits to see what the bat monster is plotting.

The baby giggles and its soft voice is pitiful. The baby’s giggle lingers around everybody’s ear and it makes Wen Runlan confused, “What is this?”

Right. What is that? Why is a seemingly harmless baby giggling in front of everybody? The bat monster can’t be so boring. The golden needle, made of gold Reiki, rushes out of Lin Luoran’s fingertip and instantly immersed into that cloud of black mist.

The needle hits the baby. The baby screams and its scream turns into a continuous cry. Its voice gets weaker every second and people are worried.

The baby’s cry is so pitiful that Huaxia cultivators begin to whisper. Lin Luoran casts a glance at them and sees two female cultivators. Their cultivation is low and they scream when they see blood. Lin really doesn’t know why they are here today.

Wen Runlan looks around and sees nothing unusual. He asks with concern, “Master, maybe we’re wrong. This baby’s cry is so pitiful... Ouch! Guanjing, why did you just beat me!”

Wen Guanjing hits Wen Runlan in the head to stop him from talking nonsense.

A mistake? Lin Luoran sneers. If the needle hits Wen Runlan, he will be dead. An ordinary new-born should be killed immediately. How can it still cry and pretend to be pitiful?

However, the expression of the two young female cultivators is making Lin Luoran speechless. They are looking at Lin like she is a strange woman who abuses a baby. While giving orders for everybody to stay alert, Lin Luoran whispers to Huang Weijian.

Huang Weijian is excited that he is finally going to be useful. He steps forward and starts to write in the air with his bald pen. He says slowly, “Good rains knows the season...” This is a happy and mild poem. The second he finishes the first sentence; the wind begins to blow under his pen. The wind is so gentle that it fills people’s hearts with pleasure like the spring wind written in the poem.

The gentle wind seems to be completely harmless. When Huang Weijian finishes the second sentence, the wind under his bald pen blows the black mist around the baby away—

Everybody on the yard gasps!

The baby, whose cry is so pitiful, turns out to be a monster with a human head and bat body. The reason it is floating in the mid-air is that it has two flapping wings! The two female cultivators, who whispered to each other about Lin Luoran’s cruelty, are slapped in the face by reality. The two of them turn pale after seeing the monster in the air.

The monster baby notices people’s change of emotion and suddenly opens its eyes.

Its eyes are bloody red. It stares at everybody creepily.

Wen Runlan stumbles, “What... What is this thing?”

Out of no reason, Lin Luoran thinks of the recently missing pregnant women. The appearance of the monster baby is too coincidental. Is there a chance that the vampires took the pregnant women to make...monster babies like this? Lin feels that her eyes are dry and she holds the luminous flower in her hand more tightly.

At this time, she can’t do things as she wants to. Lin Luoran takes a deep breath and says, “Wen.”

Wen Guanjing and Lin Luoran can cooperate well because they’ve fought side by side with each other. Wen knows Lin well. He smiles and jumps out of the crowd. He lands a few meters away from the monster baby. The creepy baby smiles and ignores Wen Guanjing. It rushes at those weaker cultivators.

“An!” Lin Luoran is not startled. An throws a few pieces of paper figure out and forces the monster baby back to Wen Guanjing.

Wen Guanjing’s fingers are moving fast. White silk comes out of Wen’s hand and rushes towards the monster baby.
