Despite her poor shape, Lin Sanjiu had to muster the strength to stand up and confront the person in front of her. As she jerked up from the ground, a sudden feeling of pain struck her abdomen. It almost tore her apart. Then, everything swirled together.
She was in a life or death situation, and Lin Sanjiu knew full well that she could not fall victim to the giddiness now. She blinked hard and made a considerable amount of effort to chase the feeling away. Only then did the blurry King Henry become clear again.
"Why…"
Her question stuck in her throat. For a moment, she didn't even know what question she had to ask.
King Henry ignored Lin Sanjiu's unfinished question. He spun his body around, like slow-motion in a movie, and faced Lin Sanjiu. Half of his face was hidden in the shadow, showing only his mouth—now-curled into a sly, devilish grin under the glimmer of light.
Greeting from BinBin and Ellis! As always, enjoy the chapter!
TLN: Timely Rain was the nickname for Song Jiang, a leader of outlaws who lived during the Song Dynasty of China. He always comes to the aid of the person in need in the nick of time, hence the nickname. The author is probably trying to bring out the notion of Hei Zeji being a "timely rain" for Lin Sanjiu by changing his name from "Hei Zeji" to "Song Zeji" as shown in the title.
