It was not the first time that Lin Qi and Chen Lin had met. He did not know where that intermediate-level mage got his pride from. He thought that he was the strongest, and everyone else had to listen to him.
What was worse was that Chen Lin’s character was especially bad. The orc tribe had been kind enough to take them in, but he had actually stolen the food with his men. He was worse than a beast.
Lin Qi had always followed two principles.
The first was that one must have a conscience. One could do something wrong, but one had to admit it. If one admitted it, one would be punished.
The second was that a fool had to die.
Chen Lin had repeatedly challenged his bottom line. That time, he had even kidnapped Yu Meng. Lin Qi was completely furious.
Lin Qi looked at Chen Lin’s demanding smile, and a fire burned in his heart.
“Dark King!” He shouted.
The Dark King suddenly rushed out from the shadow behind Lin Qi. Before Chen Lin could react, he kicked Chen Lin away.
The others were shocked by the scene in front of them. They hurriedly took out their weapons, and some of them recognized Dark King.
“It’s the dog!” They said in surprise.
Dark King sneered and said, “Ah, it’s you guys! Did you have fun chasing me that day? You even dared to hit me!”
“You... You actually know how to talk!” They were stunned.
Chen Lin, who was kicked away, stood up in a sorry state with the help of the people around him. He shook off the hands of the others.
“D*mn dog, you dare to kick me? I’ll kill you!”
They did not know whether the Dark King did it on purpose or accidentally kicked Chen Lin’s face. Moreover, Dark King’s feet were big, so there was a big, black mark on Chen Lin’s face. It was the mark of a dog’s paw.
Chen Lin aimed his magic staff at Dark King and Lin Qi. Just as he was about to chant an incantation, he was stopped by a lackey next to him.
“Be careful, that dog is a Clean Slate demonic beast. It can spit fire!”
Chen Lin asked with doubt, “What is a Clean Slate demonic beast?”
That person began explaining to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin became even more excited after hearing it. “It’s comparable to a seven-star demonic beast, but it doesn’t have the corresponding strength? So, it’s very valuable?”
Then, he started laughing.
They were too far away and their voices were soft, so the Dark King and Lin Qi could not hear what they were saying, so the Dark King was startled by Chen Lin’s stare.
It whispered to Lin Qi, “Does he have some... Special fetishes?”
Lin Qi recognized that lackey. It was the first person who recognized the Clean Slate demonic beast that day.
“Maybe... I did hear some rumors, but I didn’t expect it to be true.” After saying that, he smacked his lips as if he had learned something.
He felt that there was no need to explain. In any case, the more angry Dark King was, the worse it would be for them.
When the Dark King heard Lin Qi’s words, he felt even more apprehensive.
The Dark King bared his teeth and looked at Chen Lin. “That kid... This king is a male!”
Chen Lin and the others were stunned by the Dark King’s sudden confession.
“What? Male? What does that have to do with anything?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never seen a demonic beast that can speak a human language before.”
“Ah, I understand.” At that moment, someone spoke. “Does it want us to find it a few?little b*tches1?”
Little b*tches?
However, no one could think of any other explanation.
Chen Lin thought for a moment and said to the Dark King, “As long as you abandon Lin Qi and follow me, I’ll give you a few little b*tches if you want them in the future.”
“...” The Black King was so confused that it stayed speechless.
It slowly turned its head to look at Lin Qi. “Is he... Insulting me?”
When Lin Qi heard the word ‘b*tch’, he knew that the misunderstanding could not be explained clearly. If it were not inappropriate for the situation, he would have rolled on the floor laughing.
Even so, Lin Qi could not help but tremble all over.
“Don’t doubt it, he is definitely insulting you!” Lin Qi looked at the Dark King and said firmly.
The Dark King was so angry that it exploded. Its muscles bulged, and its body instantly tripled in size. Its eyes were red.
Not to mention Chen Lin and the others, even Lin Qi was shocked. The Dark King was really about to lose its temper.
‘It seems like... I pushed too far?’
That was the ultimate move the Dark King used when they were fighting with the dragons.
Chen Lin saw the Dark King in that state and finally realized that something was wrong. However, it was too late. He hurriedly turned the magic staff in his hand and aimed it at the Dark King. His eyes were like red lotus flames as he shouted, “Intermediate Fireball!”
A large fireball flew toward the Dark King.
The people next to him wanted to stop Chen Lin, but it was too late. “Don’t! It can spit...”
Dark King took a deep breath and opened its mouth. An even larger fireball gushed out. The scorching heat directly evaporated the intermediate fireball spell!
After Chen Lin saw that his strongest spell was easily evaporated, he stared at the person next to him. “Is this what you mean by not having much strength?”
“Quick, where are the ice mages?”
Five ice mages stood out shakily and waved their magic staffs at the same time. “Elementary... Elementary Ice Walls.”
Five ice walls appeared out of thin air and blocked the incoming big fireball.
The Dark King sneered. “That’s it? Explode!”
The big fireball instantly exploded, shattering the five ice walls. The people behind the ice walls were also sent flying by the force of the blast.
For a time, apart from Lin Qi and Yu Meng, no one else was standing in the cave.
Lin Qi stepped over the charred ground and stood in front of Chen Lin, staring down at him. “This is the last time I’ll spare your life. If you do anything outrageous in the future, I’ll definitely kill you!”
As a fire mage, Chen Lin had a higher resistance to fire magic than ordinary people. However, his clothes were burnt to shreds, a part of his hair was burnt, and half of his face was red from the heat?the burned part was stinging.
He could not say a word, and could only watch Lin Qi leave.
“Lin Qi! I won’t let you off!”
..
Lin Qi and Yu Meng walked in the front, and the Dark King followed behind slowly. It had returned to its normal size.
The atmosphere was a little strange.
In the end, Lin Qi broke the silence. “Ahem... About that, last night...”
Before he could finish, Yu Meng interrupted him. “Don’t talk about last night. I was impulsive, and... I believe you.”
Lin Qi was pleasantly surprised. “Really? As long as you’re not angry with me.”
After a while, they could see the tribe.
Lin Qi suddenly asked Yu Meng, “About that... Why do you trust me so much?”
Although the question sounded cheap, Lin Qi wanted to confirm if she liked him.
He had already thought of countless answers in his heart. No matter what Yu Meng said, he wanted to be sure about Yu Meng’s feelings.
However, to his surprise, Yu Meng replied, “Because you’re a coward!”
Lin Qi was stunned on the spot. Yu Meng looked at his reaction and laughed happily. She skipped back to the tribe.
