Chapter 5: Just Be Tsundere! I'll Make You Fall For Me Again Eventually!
[What's wrong with this heartless Lin Tianming? The first time he used the Hand of God, he should have accidentally struck his future teacher!]
[No! The purple lightning is falling! Damn it... Why am I worried that this heartless man, who once publicly humiliated me and killed my parents, might die?]
[No... impossible! I just want to kill him myself to resolve my inner demons! Letting him die like this is too easy for him! Right... yes, I can't have any feelings for him!]
Convincing herself that she only hates Lin Tianming and has no feelings for him, Ye Qingxue's heart races as she watches the purple lightning descend closer and closer to Lin Tianming.
[Could this heartless man be about to die here because of the butterfly effect caused by my rebirth?]
[No... don't die... please! Heartless man, you can't die here!]
Though she is a reborn person, Ye Qingxue has not yet grown strong. She doesn't want Lin Tianming to die but can only watch helplessly as the purple lightning strikes towards him.
Seeing that the purple lightning is about to hit Lin Tianming, Ye Qingxue can't bear to watch him be reduced to ashes and covers her eyes with her jade-like hands.
Hot tears stream down her face as she believes Lin Tianming is doomed, and she cries.
Lin Tianming, as her greatest inner demon, dies just like that.
With her complicated feelings for Lin Tianming, Ye Qingxue has to admit at this moment that she does still have some feelings for him.
However, the next second, Lin Tianming's voice thanking Jiang Han for saving him pulls her back from her sorrow.
"Thank you, Teacher Jiang Han, for saving me. If it weren't for you, I might have been struck dead due to my inexperience with replicating skills for the first time!"
"No need to thank me. I didn't anticipate that your SSS-level Hand of God ability would be so formidable, allowing you to replicate my supreme-level forbidden spell Purple Lightning Heaven-Shaker without any reduction in power."
Listening to Lin Tianming and Jiang Han's conversation, Ye Qingxue removes her hands and looks incredulously at the unharmed Lin Tianming in front of her.
[He wasn't struck dead? Did Jiang Han save him?]
Lin Tianming's desperate move was originally intended to deal with Jiang Han.
Unexpectedly, it worked surprisingly well, not only making Jiang Han, who hated him to the bone, save him and causing psychological conflict but also affecting Ye Qingxue's mindset.
Truly killing two birds with one stone!
Ignoring Ye Qingxue for the moment, Lin Tianming insists on thanking Jiang Han for saving his life.
"Teacher Jiang Han, I must thank you. I, Lin Tianming, will never forget your life-saving grace! When I grow stronger, I will protect you whenever you need it to repay your kindness!"
[This brat says he will protect me in the future? Hmph, if you don't kill me, I'll already be thanking the heavens!]
Having personally saved Lin Tianming, Jiang Han, who originally came to kill him today, feels very conflicted.
Her mindset completely disrupted, she doesn't want to stay here for even a moment longer.
"Lin Tianming, after my testing, your awakened Hand of God ability is indeed SSS-level. Congratulations, you've been pre-selected as a guaranteed student of the Imperial Capital's Great Emperor Academy this year. When your summer vacation ends, report directly to the academy. Here's my contact information, remember to add me as a friend!"
Ensuring he can be admitted to the Imperial Capital's Great Emperor Academy and temporarily stopping Jiang Han from wanting to kill him, Lin Tianming is naturally overjoyed.
"Alright, Teacher Jiang Han!"
Responding in a student's respectful tone, Lin Tianming takes out his phone and adds Jiang Han as a friend.
With Lin Tianming adding her as a friend, ensuring he won't run away, Jiang Han continues, "Kid, I need to return to the Imperial Capital's Great Emperor Academy immediately to report your situation to the school leaders. If you need anything during the summer, you can contact me directly. If there's nothing else you want to ask, I'll head back now."
"There's nothing for now, Teacher Jiang Han. If I have any questions, I'll contact you!"
Lin Tianming is eager for Jiang Han to leave as soon as possible.
Seeing that Lin Tianming has nothing to ask, Jiang Han, who doesn't want to stay here any longer, nods slightly.
"Then I'll leave first. Remember to come on the reporting day, or even if you have a guaranteed spot, it will be canceled if you don't show up."
Lin Tianming nods, "Yes, I'll be there on the reporting day, Teacher Jiang Han!"
Having said all she needs to, Jiang Han, afraid that staying longer will make her truly not want to kill Lin Tianming, quickly leaves.
With Jiang Han's mindset disrupted by his desperate plan and now gone, Lin Tianming feels a huge weight lifted off his chest.
Turning around to look at the tear-streaked Ye Qingxue, thinking of how she cried when she thought he was almost struck dead, Lin Tianming has a change of heart and walks back to hold her.
"Qingxue, why are you crying?"
Ye Qingxue, who finally steadied her heart during Lin Tianming and Jiang Han's conversation, suddenly feels flustered again when Lin Tianming hugs her.
[This damn heartless man, trying to use these tricks to deceive innocent girls into liking him again!]
Cursing Lin Tianming in her heart, Ye Qingxue outwardly denies, "I... I wasn't crying!"
Tricking innocent girls? Looks like you fell for this trick too!
Holding back his laughter, Lin Tianming continues to hug Ye Qingxue as her boyfriend.
"Don't say you weren't. Qingxue, your eyes are swollen from crying, and your face is all smeared. You cried because you were worried I'd be struck dead when I failed to replicate Teacher Jiang Han's skill, right?"
"Who... who was worried about you! Brother Tianming... stop it, there are so many people here..."
Ye Qingxue's face turns red, and her heart becomes more chaotic due to Lin Tianming's words.
Just now, when she thought Lin Tianming was dead, she admitted that although she hated him, she still had some feelings for him.
Now that Lin Tianming is alive, she denies it again, unwilling to face her true feelings.
Loving and hating Lin Tianming, she grits her teeth in anger but doesn't dare to act out, fearing he will discover her rebirth secret.
[I was once the Ice God! You won't use this trick to confuse me! Once I find my opportunities early and start my rapid growth, I will kill you!]
"What does it matter? Qingxue, we are a couple, showing true feelings in adversity, what's wrong with hugging?"
[Who shows true feelings with you! Ahh! I'm going crazy, what is this heartless man doing today, why is he always playing out of the ordinary?]
[Could it be that even after being reborn... I still can't get rid of this inner demon?]
Ye Qingxue is driven hysterical by Lin Tianming's actions, but she has to maintain the appearance of an innocent girl.
Hearing Ye Qingxue's nearly collapsing inner voice, Lin Tianming smiles slightly.
This is just the appetizer, Ye Qingxue!
Lin Tianming believes that with his ability to eavesdrop on her inner voice helping him, he will make this tsundere school belle fall for him again!
