His future wife?
Lin Tianming, upon hearing Wang Yanran's inner voice, was completely dumbfounded.
His Senior Sister Yanran really seemed to be setting her heart on him!
Even though he had overheard Wang Yanran's real thoughts about wanting to be his wife, he definitely couldn't reveal that he knew.
"Junior Brother Tianming, I'll see you tomorrow morning. Don't be late for the surprise I've prepared for our first class tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay, see you tomorrow, Senior Sister Yanran!"
He thought that would be the end of it, but to his surprise, Wang Yanran took advantage of his unguarded moment to steal another kiss on his face.
After the kiss, Wang Yanran hurriedly ran away.
[I was really bold today! I kissed Junior Brother Tianming twice in a row!]
[But the second time, I just lightly pecked his face...]
[I hope this can convey my sincerest feelings to him!]
Wang Yanran's inner voice, just like her retreating figure, slowly faded into the distance.
It was only after Wang Yanran had disappeared from Lin Tianming's sight that he withdrew his gaze.
"Senior Sister Yanran really... always launching surprise attacks... Believe it or not, next time I will turn the tables and let you experience it as well?"
He muttered to himself and began walking back to the male dormitory.
On the way back, he passed by an uncle by the side of the campus street, Lin Tianming noticed a man who didn't look like a student observing him.
He kept his guard up but chose to ignore the man.
As Lin Tianming passed by the man, the stranger showed him a strangely eerie smile.
"Do you really think you're the same kind of existence as us?"
???
Upon hearing the man's question, Lin Tianming immediately put some distance between them.
He watched the man warily: "What do you mean?"
The man didn't answer Lin Tianming's question, instead, he continued to interrogate him.
"Do you also think you deserve to be compared with us?"
Throughout the conversation, the man maintained a condescending attitude.
As if in his eyes, Lin Tianming was just an ant that could be easily squashed underfoot.
After contemplating the man's words for a moment and feeling as if something dawned on him, Lin Tianming immediately unleashed his Spiritual Power Ascension to sense everything about the man.
No aura at all, identical to that of an ordinary person without awakened superpower.
This made Lin Tianming even more vigilant.
Because Huang Yiyi, the Deceitful God man, and the Deceitful God boy Green also initially gave off no aura at all!
"I am the embodiment of darkness; darkness exists because of me, while you... are just someone who fortuitously gained His power to resolve the crisis at Heavenly Ghost Pass!"
As the mysterious man continued speaking his profound and mysterious words, his body began to emit Dark Attribute superpower energy, and...
And a Deceitful God dark fog similar to what Huang Yiyi and the others had!
"Indeed, you're a Deceitful God!"
His suspicions now confirmed, Lin Tianming further distanced himself from the man who claimed to be the embodiment of darkness.
"You can deceive mortals like yourself, but you can't deceive me. Using power that exists like ours, you absorb negative emotions to masquerade as one of our kind, a mere mortal ant!"
Boom!
The moment Lin Tianming saw the opponent unleash an attack mixed with the Deceitful God Aura of Dark Superpower energy, he instantly spiritualized to perfectly evade.
But at the instant of his perfect evasion, he felt as if he was targeted by some terrifying entity, his hair standing on end.
Although he was in this world, it felt as though he had broken through world barriers, spotted by a being from an eerie otherworld that hunts energy life forms.
The sense of unease he felt was caused by the man before him, who claimed to be the incarnation of darkness.
That feeling was akin to the one he had in the Ice and Snow Secret Realm when he was targeted by the Lord of Cold Winter from another dimension.
It was only after hastily reverting from spiritualization that Lin Tianming was able to shake off the sensation of being watched.
The warning given to him before by the Wanling Divine Lady flashed through his mind—once one becomes a god, one must absolutely not use Spiritual Energy to peep into the Deceit God World.
At this moment, everything connected, and Lin Tianming finally understood why he felt this way both now and during his previous experience in the Ice and Snow Secret Realm.
Not even the Wanling Divine Lady had anticipated that he could sense the existence of the Deceit God World without having ascended to godhood!
"Too bad it's here. If I were to come in my true form, and you dared to use that move you just tried before me, you would surely die!"
The man's words interrupted Lin Tianming's train of thought as he continued to observe the man warily.
For some reason, as he carefully sensed the self-proclaimed dark incarnation, Lin Tianming felt that this man was far below Huang Yiyi in terms of strength.
Despite Huang Yiyi not yet having awakened and being in a confused and ignorant state,
The man in front of him was in a clear state of mind, already capable of controlling his Deceitful God Power.
But Lin Tianming just felt that this man was no match for Huang Yiyi.
"The 'she' you mentioned, couldn't be Huang Yiyi, could it?"
Upon hearing Lin Tianming mention Huang Yiyi, the man first failed to comprehend whom Lin Tianming was referring to.
But a moment later, the man's expression turned to one of mockery.
"How sad it is. The king of the Dream Court... has actually been reduced to taking a mortal's name so casually. But this is the fate of those who offend beings like us. To have struggled and survived until now is no small feat, haha!"
The man's mocking words, however, revealed a piece of information to Lin Tianming.
It seemed that the Deceit Gods from the Deceit God World mentioned by the Wanling Divine Lady were not a unified front.
At least... this self-proclaimed dark incarnation seemed to be an enemy of Huang Yiyi.
Moreover, judging by the look of it, there are quite a few Deceit Gods who have banded together against Huang Yiyi!
A group of Deceit Gods teamed up against the true body of Huang Yiyi, yet they couldn't kill her, only causing her to fall into a muddled state...
Could Huang Yiyi be... the King of Deceitful Gods?
It seems his earlier intuition was not wrong; the man before him claiming to be the dark incarnation was indeed an insignificant Deceit God incomparable to Huang Yiyi's stature.
"Do you think you can protect Her?"
The man's question was filled with disdain, prompting a smile from Lin Tianming.
"Whether I can protect Huang Yiyi or not, I don't know, but what I do know is that you... are not her equal!"
As soon as he uttered these words, Lin Tianming struck a nerve in the man.
"You dare say I am inferior to that worthless creature who has lost everything? Do you truly believe that being chosen by Her allows you to act recklessly before our noble presence?"
As the man grew angry, the dark fog of deceit around him began to surge tumultuously.
Lin Tianming had only made an offhand remark, unaware that his words would trigger such a strong response.
However, he wasn't worried that this man could hurt him.
From his recent observation, he had discovered that the other party hadn't fully adjusted to his current body.
Otherwise, Lin Tianming, despite his willingness to dodge, would have been left as powerless as when he encountered the Deceitful God worshiped by the Deep Sea Church.
He was confident that he could send this Deceit God, who dared to come after him before adjusting to a mortal body, back to their world!
But before he acted, Lin Tianming had one more question.
"Let's not be hasty. I have one more question to ask you. Do you know the Lord of Cold Winter, that pig?"
"You know about the Lord of Cold Winter?"
The man was initially surprised, but he quickly understood how Lin Tianming came to know of him.
"It seems She does occasionally have her moments of clarity; She must have told you during one of those times, right? Now you should also guess who I am!
Indeed, as you suspect in your heart, I am the Lord of Darkness. Just like the Lord of Cold Winter, I am one of the participants who caused that waste you serve and guard to fall from the Divine Altar, hahaha!"
