Chapter 2: The Hidden Love Story (19)
==============================
[Ding! Little Shiyuan’s charm level increased to 90%.]
[You received 300 Luck points, total Luck points now 1720.
Your current Luck level is Lv6.]
As Little Shiyuan frowned in confusion, his charm level was steadily increasing.
Despite appearing frosty and distant, Lin Nan was actually shouting inside her mind, “Keep going, keep increasing, you idiot!”
She had only meant to test what he would do when she had awakened his murderous intent.
She was curious how he would react to those who surrendered and begged for mercy.
What she hadn’t expected was, even though he knew the enemies would betray them, he still couldn’t bring himself to k*ll those who couldn’t fight back. This undeniably demonstrated that Little Shiyuan was actually a good person at heart.
After all, if he were to k*ll them without hesitation, that would mean that under her deliberate cultivation, he was becoming increasingly cold-blooded. That would definitely give her a sense of guilt.
Although her original intention was only to gain more favor points, she didn’t intend to cultivate a killer who was completely out of her control.
In the end, Little Shiyuan looked at Lin Nan sadly.
“Sister, is my decision too indecisive?”
Lin Nan shook her head and said, “No, you have kept the most valuable characteristics in your heart.
Even if the opponent is a thug or the most wicked person, but when he shows repentance and regret, we should give him a chance.
The Buddha said, put down the kn*fe and become a Buddha on the spot.
Our hope that they can find their conscience and repent, how can it be wrong?
Of course, if they choose to betray us, the next time I hope you will not hesitate to cut off their heads.”
Little Shiyuan immediately resolved his doubts, his frown disappeared, and a smile emerged.
Lin Nan’s heart had been as calm as water, but unexpectedly, just a brief glance at Little Shiyuan’s angelic and radiant smile completely melted her heart.
d*mn it… she almost gave him a smile in return.
Lin Nan quickly turned around and forced herself to face the gang members of the Giant Wave Gang that had gathered nearby.
They were about to face the powerful counterattack from the enemies, but they were only two people…
What should they do?
It seemed that only thinking about strategies could calm her slightly restless heart.
Little Shiyuan noticed the situation on the opposite side.
If it weren’t for his decision to let those three people go, the situation wouldn’t have worsened to this extent.
There was no doubt that their plan to gradually weaken the Giant Wave Gang and then attack their base had failed.
“I’m sorry.”
Little Shiyuan bowed his head.
“It’s fine,” Lin Nan calmed her emotions and said indifferently, “Just follow me closely, understood?”
Little Shiyuan raised his head.
He couldn’t believe that in this situation,
Sister Hong Chen’s first reaction was not to retreat immediately, but rather to continue forward.
However, compared to their two, the number of enemies was overwhelmingly large. Would they really be able to win with so few people against so many?
“The best way to deal with a mob attack is to find a wall.”
Lin Nan said, “This way, we only need to face the enemies in front of us and don’t need to worry about our backs.”
Little Shiyuan looked around anxiously, “But, there is no high wall here.”
Lin Nan gave a faint smile, “Follow me.”
Just as Jin Wen had gathered everyone from all over the place and was about to divide the team to surround the forest, Lin Nan brought Little Shiyuan, who was nervous, into the open, appearing right in front of the crowd.
Jin Wen, far away on his high perch, immediately noticed the two figures.
As expected, these two wouldn’t be satisfied with just killing a team of lackeys. Their target is the whole base.
Interesting, they dared to show up even when they saw so many people,
This shows one thing: these two are either crazy or looking for d*ath.
Jin Wen shook his head. He had originally planned to show off his military tactics and use the strategy of dividing and surrounding to successfully exterminate them in the forest.
But now it seems unnecessary.
“Brothers, k*ll these two, and you’ll get one hundred silver pieces as reward!”
Everyone immediately drew their swords, like madmen, surging towards Lin Nan and the other as if they were a tidal wave.
With the high-pitched cries of battle, two hundred men shouted with the momentum of thousands of troops.
The merchants and sailors still on the dock instantly froze, trembling as they hid in the corner, terrified of being accidentally injured by the shiny swords in the sunlight.
Just as they were about to be overwhelmed by the human tide like a massive wave,
Lin Nan suddenly sprinted towards the lake, with Little Shiyuan closely following.
The two dodged between the scattered cargo on the shore like nimble deer. In no time, Little Shiyuan followed Lin Nan up the wooden plank used by the sailors to transport goods onto the cargo ship.
However, after getting on, instead of kicking the plank away, Lin Nan stood at the hatch and beckoned to the approaching gang members with her fingers.
“Kid, you hold them off.”
After Lin Nan had taunted them, she quickly stepped aside, letting Little Shiyuan take the front.
Staring at a long line of gang members rushing along the plank, Little Shiyuan trembled so much that he almost couldn’t hold his longsword.
“Focus! How is this different from facing one person!”
Lin Nan shouted angrily.
Little Shiyuan immediately regained his composure. That’s right, no matter how many enemies were looming behind, only those who could get through the long plank could reach him, and he would be fighting only one person at the front.
Realizing this, Little Shiyuan suddenly found courage.
He shouted loudly, and stabbed his sword forward, immediately skewering a gang member who was about to step into the cargo hold.
Fortunately, among this unruly mob, there were no experts. Under Little Shiyuan’s defense, more than ten gang members fell into the water one after another, and not a single one could get on the cargo ship.
The remaining people weren’t fools either. They jumped into the water, each holding a sword in their mouths, swimming towards the ship from all sides, intent on encircling and attacking from multiple directions.
After realizing this, Lin Nan immediately pulled Little Shiyuan back, stepped forward, and with a few strikes of her sword, forced all the attackers on the plank back into the water.
Then, with a swift kick, she sent the plank flying, severing the ship’s connection to the shore.
“To the deck!”
Little Shiyuan hurriedly climbed up the ladder with Lin Nan.
At this point, a few skilled swimmers among the gang members had already started climbing up the ropes hanging down from the side of the ship.
“sh**t arrows!”
Jin Wen commanded grimly from the shore, aiming to distract the two.
The gang members’ archery skills weren’t great, but the sheer number of arrows posed a significant threat to the two as they ran about the deck cutting ropes.
As countless arrows were about to hit the deck,
Lin Nan immediately activated the “Nine Swords Technique,” swirling her sword to create a dazzling flower of light, deflecting all the incoming arrows.
Meanwhile, Little Shiyuan kicked a gang member who was almost climbing onto the deck into the water and cut the climbing ropes.
At this point, Little Shiyuan seemed to understand Lin Nan’s theory about having a “wall.”
It wasn’t just about having an actual wall, but always placing oneself in an advantageous position.
The twists and struggles that he experienced in just a short half-day were more than the years he had spent aimlessly in the villa.
It was Sister Hong Chen who brought him into a brand-new world.
Little Shiyuan kept an eye on the water cautiously, but, unaware to him, the affectionate glances he occasionally shot Lin Nan’s way were growing stronger with each passing moment.
