Chapter 16: Battle of Wits

Lin Xinlan listened to the sound as it got closer and closer. She touched the location of her rapidly beating heart and said softly, “In the future, I will be Lin Yuelan, and Lin Yuelan will be me. Don’t worry. I promised you that I will repay kindness with kindness and hatred with revenge!”

Then, she closed her eyes. However, the moment she opened them again, her clear and sharp eyes were flowing with light and colors. They were like a soul-sucking bottomless pit that no one could touch.

She stood up swiftly. Although she was still skinny and weak, she gave off a sense of absolute power that could shake the world.

No one would have thought that it was this thin and weak girl who would change the world in the future.

After drinking the water in the river and gaining the buff from Little Green, Lin Yuelan had recovered 50 percent of her strength from her previous life. She couldn’t sustain the other 50 percent because her host’s body was still too weak. However, the 50 percent was enough to guarantee her life in the village!

Lin Yuelan walked up to the shore, picked up the undergarment, and put them on. Then, she shrugged the host’s grey dress on. She put on a belt and tidied herself up.

It was summer, and it was uncomfortable wearing too many layers. However, due to her superpowers, Lin Yuelan could automatically adjust her body temperature.

Lin Yuelan brushed her long hair that was disheveled, and her clear dark eyes looked sharply at the place where the sound was coming from

Lin Yuelan stepped forward… to her future and the future of the world!

“Look, who is that? Is that the jinx?” Someone noticed Lin Yuelan in the distance and immediately screamed. Based on these villagers’ understanding, Lin Yuelan had died and returned as a ghost.

They turned to look at Lin Yuelan, and they were shocked.

She had long hair that reached her waist and was wearing a dress that reached her ankles. She walked barefooted on the soft path with her head held high, and her chest puffed out.

She still had a shallow face and a thin body, but the feeling she gave them was completely different. As for the specific differences, the villagers couldn’t tell. It was complicated.

Lin Dawei studied the approaching Lin Yuelan. The sallow face turned up to the sun. However, the thin face radiated a kind of arrogant and fierce aura. It was like she had returned from Hell, and they were just ants that she could easily crush.

Lin Dawei couldn’t describe his feelings, but he felt the changes in the jinx. She became more terrifying and could instill more fear in people’s hearts.

But, as he took another look, the girl was still the often-bullied jinx. How could a person change so drastically, right?

Lin Dawei frowned deeply and pondered. Then, he narrowed his eyes and sized up Lin Yuelan, who was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, he felt a sharp gaze shooting straight at him, like a sharp knife aimed at his neck. It made him instantly afraid, and for a moment, he wanted to stop breathing.

Lin Dawei followed the gaze and was stunned to realize it came from Lin Yuelan’s eyes.

He finally realized what had changed about Lin Yuelan.
