Chapter 728 - 221: Number One on the Magic Power List
Chen Lianlian walked alone to the tavern, ordered a pot of wine, and began to drink.
She had just taken a few sips when several sneaky-looking Mages and Martial Artists gathered around her.
"Yo, isn’t this Junior Sister Chen? Drinking alone here, do you want your brothers to join you for a few drinks?"
Chen Lianlian, a beauty on the Yinghua List, had long been coveted by the members of the Elite Camp.
But previously, Chen Lianlian was aloof and cold, always sporting an unapproachable demeanor.
However, things are different now. It is said that she was toyed with by the son of Sky Wing City, who already has a wife.
Through the eyes of these people, naturally, Chen Lianlian’s status had plummeted tremendously. Seeing her sitting by the wine table, her face flushed with drink, all the lecherous men stared with gleaming eyes.
"Get lost," Chen Lianlian said irritably.
"Yo, why put on such an air? Chen Lianlian, do you still think you’re the beauty from the Yinghua List before? Everyone knows about it, you’ve been played with. Stop pretending to be innocent," those men said, getting more handsy as Chen Lianlian turned them down.
Chen Lianlian was about to explode and reached out for her Magic Wand, only to find that it had already been snatched away by someone quicker.
Those men surrounded Chen Lianlian, jeering and swearing at her, as she grew increasingly furious, ready to explode.
"Stop," a commanding shout came from the side, standing there was a bald Mage, bare-chested.
He did not carry a Magic Wand; instead, his Magic Artifact was a necklace that looked like Buddha Beads.
But upon closer inspection, the necklace was not made of ordinary pearls or strange stones, but rather beads made from similarly-sized Demon Beast skulls.
In the center of each of these beast skulls was a soul stone. Moreover, each skull was blood-red in color.
Blood-red Demon Beast skulls, only those of the Blood Cloud Beasts were this color.
This person’s necklace had six soul stones, signifying that his cultivation had reached the terrifying level of a Holy Sanctuary Mage King.
Seeing him, the several scoundrels all stepped back in unison.
The man, without deviating his gaze, walked straight towards Chen Lianlian.
He moved swiftly like the wind and was out of sight in a moment.
"Liu Tongtian, it’s Liu Tongtian."
Liu Tongtian, the top-ranked person on the Magic Power List in the Mainland Magic Elite Camp.
Liu Tongtian looked at Chen Lianlian with a complex expression.
He was the Senior Brother who had always looked after Chen Lianlian.
However, this was something not many in the Magic Elite Camp knew about.
Liu Tongtian was somewhat an anomaly within the Magic Elite Camp.
He was originally an orphan without any family background.
Liu Tongtian’s initial strength was also quite ordinary, only through diligent study and practice did he enter the Mainland Magic Elite Camp.
Even so, in his first five years at the Magic Elite Camp, there was nothing particularly noteworthy about him. But about three to four years ago, after participating in a Blood Refining, Liu Tongtian rose meteorically.
Within six months, he even surpassed Li Shao and Lan, who were then considered geniuses in the Magic Elite Camp, by killing Blood Cloud Beasts and swiftly climbed to the top of the Magic Power List.
This man was known for his ferocious disposition and lethal moves, with countless Blood Cloud Beasts falling into his hands.
Chen Lianlian also met Liu Tongtian for the first time during the Blood Refining event.
Due to his humble beginnings since childhood, Liu Tongtian’s character was somewhat twisted, and he was always unpredictable towards people.
However, he fell in love with Chen Lianlian at first sight, not only saving her but also showering her with affection repeatedly.
But his looks were ordinary, even slightly ugly, and he had a stumpy stature. Words like tall, mighty, handsome, and dashing had nothing to do with him, except for his magic.
Moreover, with his mediocre background, Chen Lianlian found him crude. She had Ye Beiming in her heart all along, and although she saw some benefit in Liu Tongtian, she remained lukewarm towards him.
Liu Tongtian, not understanding Chen Lianlian’s thoughts at all, was wholeheartedly trying to win the beauty’s favor.
He went to great lengths to please Chen Lianlian, even lending her his biggest secret, the Magic Bracelet, but Chen Lianlian still showed no gratitude.
After this trial in Sky Wing City, he had already heard about Chen Lianlian’s situation.
He had even tried to find Chen Lianlian in private, but she, unwilling to return the bracelet, kept avoiding him.
If it weren’t for today, when Liu Tongtian came to the tavern, he wouldn’t have encountered Chen Lianlian.
"You people, stay away from Lianlian in the future. She belongs to me," the necklace around Liu Tongtian’s neck emitted a stinging red glow.
Upon hearing this, not only did Chen Lianlian feel no joy, but she also felt a bit of disdain.
How wonderful it would be if such words came from Ye Beiming’s mouth.
Regrettably, it was Liu Tongtian who spoke these words.
Who is his woman? A toad lusting after a swan’s meat!
Only then did the crowd realize that Liu Tongtian had some connection with Chen Lianlian, and they fled in panic.
Suppressing her disgust, Chen Lianlian lowered her face and called out, "Senior Brother Liu."
It must be said, Chen Lianlian was very good at acting; she hated Liu Tongtian deeply in her heart, yet her expression was one of pitiful innocence.
Already being beautiful, with such a look, at least eight or nine out of ten men would be charmed.
Seeing this, Liu Tongtian felt even more pity, quickly inviting her to sit down and started expressing concern.
"Lianlian, why didn’t you come to find me when you returned," he seized the opportunity to grab Chen Lianlian’s hand, feeling its smoothness and his heart fluttered, his eyes fixating on Chen Lianlian’s beautiful face.
"Senior Brother Liu, you already know? Then you don’t despise me?"
"I, I didn’t dare to see you," Chen Lianlian sighed, pretending to reach for her drink.
Liu Tongtian grabbed her drink, "Lianlian, what exactly happened with this matter?"
"I...I was forced, someone framed me. Tian Yitu, that beast, has long coveted me. I was also drugged by Yun Sheng’s group, and when I woke up, everything was already ruined," Chen Lianlian said and started crying.
She cried pitifully, truly sorrowful.
Upon hearing this, Liu Tongtian’s anger surged, "Lianlian, I knew you weren’t that kind of person. You said someone framed you? Tian Yitu, Yun Sheng? Who are these people?"
Seeing Liu Tongtian believed her, Chen Lianlian felt a secret joy, "That Tian Yitu has already got what he deserved, he died in the Sky Wing City Beast Chaos. As for Yun Sheng, she is from the Magic Elite Camp, but... I am afraid to say."
She feigned a scared expression.
"What’s there to be scared of, could she possibly be more formidable than me, the Holy Sanctuary Mage King!" Liu Tongtian patted his chest, he couldn’t believe that a mere trainee could surpass him.
Damn new trainee, causing Chen Lianlian to lose her chastity, he would certainly not let this matter rest.
