Chapter 287: 254, Xi Lin: Believe me or her!
```
Quick, let her in!
I feel if we're even a second late, there will be a reversal!
To make Mingli hurry up, Lin Da even bent down and reached out his hand towards her.
But unexpectedly, Mingli recoiled like a startled animal with a 'eek' and a look of terror on her face.
"Hand."
Lin Da had no choice but to keep a straight face and tell Mingli he was not reaching out to hit her.
Mingli cautiously glanced at Lin Da, swallowed, and then started to smile foolishly like an infatuated girl, slowly reaching out her hand again.
This time, it looked like there was finally hope.
Five centimeters, four centimeters, three, two...
Just one centimeter away, and Lin Da would be able to grasp that pale, cold little hand.
But as it turned out, his premonition was right.
Mingli suddenly furrowed her brows and groaned in pain, her outstretched hand freezing in the air.
She looked down in disbelief at the black spear tip stained with fresh blood piercing through her.
A black long spear had come from behind Mingli, penetrating her lower abdomen.
"Freak, who gave you permission to approach Lin Da?"
A voice devoid of emotion rang out.
The scene seemed to freeze in place.
The girl's brown hat fell to the ground, her long pink hair cascading like a waterfall, fluttered by the gentle breeze.
Her small, gorgeous face radiated murderous intent as Selena looked down at Mingli on the ground; her black long spear, wrapped in black magic power, was piercing through Mingli's abdomen.
Blood drops were falling from the tip of the spear like a curtain.
This twist was even bigger than Lin Da had imagined.
An -8000 red number appeared above Mingli's head.
Mingli's face turned deathly pale as she grasped the tip of the black long spear with both hands.
Her eyes were full of confusion and incomprehension.
The scent of blood spread through the wind.
She wasn't dead, but she was seriously injured.
The surrounding onlookers were somewhat dumbfounded, with question marks practically growing over their heads.
The situation had reversed too quickly, too outrageously.
So much so that their brains couldn't process it in time.
First, the adventurer from another place, Mingli of Moon rank, attacked Lin Da, only to end up being tamed by Lin Da like a pet dog.
Outrageous enough, right?
Then, another pink-haired girl of Moon rank strikes from behind, ambushing Mingli, forbidding Mingli from getting close to Lin Da...
"I've got it!"
Reporter Kami was also at the scene.
As the top reporter for the White Dove Morning News, wherever there was news, there was Kami.
This lively girl with brown hair tied in a single ponytail and freckles on her face drew everyone's attention with her loud voice.
Stay tuned for updates on empire
Carrying a magic guided camera that looked like a cannon barrel on her shoulder, Kami excitedly pointed it at Lin Da and the others while exclaiming, "The adventurer circles are really in chaos, huh? It feels like they've almost surpassed the nobility in the last few years."
"That dark green-haired girl is obviously a dog trained by Lin Da, but unfortunately for some reason, she was abandoned by Lin Da, and now she's come back to her owner, but too bad... the current girlfriend with pink hair says, 'Stay away from my Lin Da!'"
Listening to this, the people felt it made no sense, yet it also made some sense.
It was barely a coherent explanation.
The vice president of the Phoenix Tail Flower Fan Club, Finch, was also there, scratching his nose awkwardly:
"Miss Kami, your dog is of Moon rank? According to that, Lin Da's past must be quite remarkable, right? How could such a big shot end up in our small White Dove City?"
"You don't get it! Lin Da must have stepped on some dog shit luck, and probably was training her when she was still a lousy chick."
Kami spoke confidently, "I suspect that Lin Da's original title 'Ultimate Pervert' suits him best, there must be poison smeared on his OO; any girl he touches will become crazily fond of him. Otherwise, why would someone of Moon rank still come all this way just to be Lin Da's dog?"
A Minotaur adventurer had a sudden realization: "Whoa, according to Miss Kami, this battle is Lin Da's family affair, it's not proper for outsiders to interfere."
```
"Exactly, we just enjoy the spectacle."
Kami carried the Magic Guided Camera, snapping away like crazy.
If anyone was completely bewildered at the scene, it was Mingli.
Who the hell are you, pink hair?
Just love stabbing people in the belly, don't you!
"Ouchhhhhhhh!!!"
Mingli's eyes turned blood red, blood flowed profusely from her mouth, and she screamed insanely.
Her body dissolved into a black mist and reappeared three meters away, clutching her stomach, her gaze venomous as she stared at Xilin, "You, you, who are you? Are you another pathetic soul abandoned by Lin Da?"
Xilin casually tossed her pink hair, her black Great Sword resting on the ground, her petite and delicate chin lifted in a haughty manner:
"Don't get me wrong, Lin Da might abandon you Paper People, but he won't abandon me."
"Right, Lin Da?"
Caught off guard by his sister's sudden question, Lin Da couldn't help but be startled.
He looked at his sister, then at the severely injured Mingli, and felt a headache coming on. He felt that no matter which side he supported, the other would be at risk of exploding on the spot.
"Stop fighting, both of you."
"Continuing this fight is of no benefit to anyone!"
Lin Da's expression darkened, and he stood between the two to stop the clash.
But Xilin frowned unhappily.
Xilin could sense that Mingli's mental state was extremely unstable, like a mad dog.
Docile one moment, potentially rabid and biting the next.
Such a ticking time bomb could not be allowed to stay by Lin Da's side—it was too dangerous.
Xilin knew Lin Da felt guilty towards those Paper People he had abandoned, he couldn't bear to kick them away again. So she would do it for him.
Eliminating Mingli, this "risk".
The moment that thought crossed her mind, Xilin moved.
She teleported in front of Mingli, her Phantom Demon Spear thrusting towards Mingli's vulnerable throat!
"Stop it!"
A black energy whip lashed out, coiling around Xilin's Phantom Magic Spear.
"Lin Da, she will harm you."
Xilin gazed at Lin Da and said slowly, "Do you trust me or her?"
With the Phantom Demon Spear positioned at Mingli's throat,
Xilin decided that if Lin Da's response did not satisfy her, she would kill Mingli to remove the threat once and for all!
This scene had everyone present on edge.
But since no one understood the exact relationship among the three, they could only quietly watch the situation unfold.
"Miss advises you to stop, attacking the weak is very unbecoming!"
Lia recognized Xilin's identity, and her Great Sword ignited with fire as she stepped forward.
"This is a conversation between me and Lin Da, Lia, even if it's you, if you dare to interfere, I will kill you just the same!"
Xilin snorted coldly, her pupils glowing with pink Peach Hearts.
Under her gaze, Lia's body stiffened, becoming like a puppet on strings.
Go back where you came from.
Lia felt humiliated, her little face reddening like a liver.
Three years ago, the two were nearly matched in strength.
But now, having been granted power by the Demon King and becoming one of the Twelve Belongings, Xilin was clearly far stronger than Lia.
This harsh reality made Lia's heart sink into the abyss.
Lin Da frowned slightly and looked straight at Xilin, saying, "You're not the kind to ask such childish questions."
Xilin: "No, I am. Answer me now! Do you trust me, or this Seaweed Head!"
