Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality (VOLUME I)

Chapter 20

Chapter 20 I'm not Threatening You

These are the words used by the Li family to humiliate Lin Luoran. Lin Luoran now uses them to fight back.

The Li's eldest daughter carries a shoulder pole and raises it trying to hit Lin Luoran on the head—Luoran's father stands too far to pull her away. Li Weiguo didn't expect that Li Anping's sister would be so impetuous that she dares to hit Luoran when he is still considering.

It's too late for anybody to pull her back, the eyes of Li Anping's sister get sharp and she believes Lin Luoran is about to fall under her pole. After all, she has resented this beautiful face for a long time—

Lin Luoran moves a bit. Everyone thinks she will definitely take the hit and cannot bear to see that. To their surprise, Lin Luoran didn't run away, but stands still. The seemingly weak and delicate girl has snatched the pole from Li's hands, leaving her stamping and covering her wrist with pain.

Lin's parents quickly come to their daughter, and check if she gets hurt. Mrs. Li did not expect her daughter would be defeated in such a simple "fistfight". Before she is going to rebuke her, her daughter shows her wrist. It is red and swollen. Needless to say, it is Lin Luoran's "masterwork".

"Hiss..." The crowd gasps. There's no sign before showing the Lin's daughter is so strong. Afraid of being injured, the women present all get closer to their men to feel a bit safer.

After comforting her parents, Lin Luoran breaks the shoulder pole into two pieces and tosses it on the ground. The pole gets down into the earth for several feet, leaving a few wood splinters to remind people that it used to be a shoulder pole made of solid wood.

Mrs. Li's shoulders are shaking with wrath. She raises her eyebrows and stares at Lin Luoran in anger with her thin lips quivering.

Anyone can feel that Mrs. Li is furious. This is the first time for her to suffer a setback after acting in a shrewish manner in the village for many years. How can she endure such humiliation?

Normally, she would have rushed up to fight with Lin Luoran or thrown herself on the ground to make a scene. Today, however, she has to restrain her anger.

Lin Luoran has been feeling that her transformed body is infused with power these days. Today, she just uses it lightly and then Li Anping's mother and his troublesome relatives are frightened. Lin Luoran is satisfied with the result.

Not to mention Mrs. Li, even the village head, Li Weiguo, who was considering just now, has made his decision. It seems that the Lin's family is not only rich now, but also has "force". Li Weiguo coughs and says, "Luoran is going to repair the ancestral hall. She grows up in our village and she is filial doing that. Anping's mother, stop making trouble."

Mrs. Li is unwilling to give up. Her son-in-law, seeing her wife's swollen wrist, also wants to fight against Lin Luoran. He secretly compares his strength with Luoran's. Most countrymen are strong, but no one can stick a pole into the ground and get it down into the earth for several feet like she did. How strong must a person be to fight her?

He is afraid but doesn't want people to think that he has no guts to avenge his wife. What Li Weiguo says gives him an opportunity to extricate himself from such an awkward position!

Everyone knows it clearly that Li Weiguo has a supreme status in Li's village. "Village head" is just a post on the surface, he is in fact the patriarch of Li's village, the one who can execute the clan law!

When hearing that the village head is ready to receive Lin's money to repair the hall and supports them, Mrs. Li is too angry to remember to show respect to Li Weiguo. She dares not confront directly the girl who she cannot see through, so she turns to Lin Luoran's parents and scolds, "Well! Well! Well! Look at the daughter you raised. You shameless people. My eyes must be blind at that time. There were so many good girls. Why did I make an engagement with you?"
