Female Protagonist Is A Blackened Villainess Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Gaining Numerous Benefits in the Magical Beast Forest (2)

At one moment, there could be a huge rainstorm, as a short while later, it could suddenly become sunny . The weather in the Magical Beast Forest changed very quickly while at the same time, this place was vast . The rainfall only affected a small area . It was because even the fire magical beasts’ rage could not threaten the natural lushness of the jungle .

What was even more frightening was that the trees here grow very fast .

“It doesn’t matter who I am, but since things have progressed this far, it doesn’t make sense to say nothing . ” The man slightly glimpsed at her and took her bowl back . He moved back, sat by the fire, and smiled faintly . “My name is Clifford, a traveler . ”

Clifford…

Long Shiyan mind jolted . Staring at the man sitting next to the fire, she noticed he had simple and short hair, wore a set of ordinary clothes, carried a bottle of wine at his waist, and had a simple ring on his finger . He carried a giant sword and a huge shield on his back . Although he wasn’t extraordinarily handsome, he was still a good-looking uncle .

“You are the Mad b.l.o.o.d.y Sword Saint Clifford?” Long Shiyan tried to calm the thoughts in her heart . Her pair of beautiful big eyes looked at him intensely with a little excitement .

“Hahaha…” Clifford laughed loudly . “I haven’t heard anyone shouting the t.i.tle ‘Mad b.l.o.o.d.y Sword Saint’ in a long time . I didn’t expect you to know about me at your young age . ”

“When I was seven years old, I read the ’Continent’s Famous Figures’ Epic Narratives’ . Some well-known and prestigious celebrities are forever remembered in my heart!” Long Shiyan smiled and said, “When Clifford was a child, he joined the Luosi mercenary group as he grew up amongst them . At the age of 21, he had single-handedly fought against the Nine-headed Serpent to save the Holy Mountain . After a few years, he broke through into the Saint realm and then killed a Saint magical beast . After slaying the Saint eagle magical beast, who was the leader of an offensive beast tide, the tide was disintegrated . Later, your fame from your military prowess reverberated all over the world . ”

“The achievements of your legend were recorded in the annals of history!”

Long Shiyan wanted to continue to speak more, but Clifford has raised his hand to interrupt . “Little girl, you don’t need to talk about what I did in the past . It’s easy for me to become arrogant! And that wouldn’t be good!” He took the wine pot from his waist and untied it . After wheezing, he drank a few mouthfuls .

Then, she slightly tilted her head and looked towards him . “It seems that your injury has almost healed completely . Do you want to eat some?” He took a piece of the barbecue that was skewered by wooden sticks and handed it to her .

Long Shiyan accepted the fragrant barbecue, opened her mouth and took a small bite . Suddenly, her eyes brightened and her appet.i.te rose . He was worthy of being called an old monster for living for hundreds of years . The roasted meat he cooked was definitely a rare delicacy in this world .

Now that she had completely relaxed, she realized there was no point for a Saint to murder her nor steal her treasure . Because Long Shiyan’s a.s.sets weren’t worth much for a Saint . It was only natural, although he knew that Long Shiyan had life-saving treasures, it wasn’t necessary for him to steal since this Saint was a strong man who valued justice .

In the original book, Clifford’s personality was indeed very upstanding, but his ending was tragic . This was because he loved the Ice and Snow G.o.ddess, Becky . However, Becky ended up with Long Aotian, and he had to leave heartbroken . Finally, in order to rescue the continent, he sacrificed himself to bring the Skeleton King down with him .

From her understanding of the legend and the details from the original book, Long Shiyan had a good impression of him . She felt this Sword Saint had an admirable character .

Moreover, she never imagined that she would be rescued by this person in her life-threatening situation .

It was truly a miraculous turn of events!

But she was also very excited . After all, she yearned to enter the world of the strong .

“Mr . Clifford,” Long Shiyan ate a few mouthfuls of the meat and couldn’t help but praise it . “This barbecue is the best thing I have ever eaten, even more so than most of the dishes I have tried at famous restaurants . ”

Clifford smiled lightly . “If you live like me, then even if it’s just a simple barbecue, the cooked food will certainly be delicious . Furthermore, I used to be a food critic!”

Long Shiyan filled her stomach and smiled at the Mad b.l.o.o.d.y Sword Saint . “Mr . Clifford, Yan Yan believes that her body has healed enough and she can move by herself now . Yan Yan wants to change her clothes, so can Mister go out for a bit?” 

“No problem,” Clifford smirked and shook his head . He easily stood up and walked out of the cave . When Long Shiyan saw him go away, she uncovered the blanket, carefully sat up, and then slowly untied the bandages on her thigh . The wound had completely recovered and already developed a new layer of soft skin .

However, there were still many large and minor injuries on her body . After unwinding the bandages, there was a noticeable scar on the position of her heart . Taking off her ripped underwear, she replaced it with a new small white one . She also changed her wet clothes into dry ones . After she switched her clothing, she threw the dirty ones into her s.p.a.ce ring, and then took out a few new paddings to wrap her chest .

In this way, she completely changed her clothes .

The style of her clothes did not change much . She was still barefoot with her battle uniform, but she didn’t drape a cloak over herself . These clothes and the like were all the inventions she learned from the original novel’s Long Aotian . She requested the clothing designers to make them according to the modern designs . For example, she commissioned for the modern bra and underwear even though bras were useless for her pet.i.te body .

When Long Shiyan was finished, she called for Sword Saint Clifford to come back in . Although she was still in a child’s body, she could not change clothes in front of a man . But if she could not move due to her injuries, she had no problem undressing in front of a man . After all, that would be a must, but if her body could move normally, then she wouldn’t do so .

Sword Saint Clifford walked in without hesitation, and Long Shiyan stood up and gave him a polite bow . “Mr . Clifford, I am very sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, thank you very much for your help . I am extremely grateful for your help . ”

Clifford stared at her for a while . He inexplicably sighed and then smiled . “No need for thanks, I merely came across you when you fainted, nothing more . ”

Long Shiyan looked up at him and asked, baffled . “Mister, do you feel troubled by Yan Yan?”

“No,” Sword Saint Clifford shook his head and sighed . “You are just a little girl from the East . A few years ago, I have saved a different girl from her injury . In return for helping her, she wanted to marry me, but later, she decided to stop chasing after me . I wanted to take responsibility for her, but I decided to avoid trouble . The little girl might have been smaller than you . Around this tall . ” He placed his hand around his lower abdomen, showing how tall the girl was . In melancholy, he dunked a few mouthfuls of wine from the jug .

“Mister doesn’t need to worry, Yan Yan doesn’t blame you for not staying with the child . You won’t suddenly want to marry me and Yan Yan doesn’t want to marry and have children in the first place . Besides, Yan Yan knows who Mister likes . The rumors say that Mister likes the legendary and beautiful G.o.ddess of Ice and Snow!” Long Shiyan smiled, watching Sword Saint Clifford nearly cough to death .

“Cough, cough, cough, cough . ” Sword Saint Clifford stared at her . “Little girls shouldn’t talk about such nonsense . You shouldn’t blindly believe in rumors . The G.o.ddess of Ice and Snow is cold and aloof . She wouldn’t care about the mundane world and mortals as she may consider them filthy . ”

Long Shiyan blinked, “What Mister says is correct . ” Long Shiyan really didn’t want to shatter his views . In the future, the G.o.ddess of Ice and Snow will become Long Aotian’s woman .

Sword Saint Clifford shifted the topic and smiled at her . “Which family do you belong to? Despite your young age, you defeated three a.s.sa.s.sins who were extremely experienced in combat . You’re already really strong, and your future is unpredictable . It isn’t impossible for you to achieve the Saint realm . ”

Long Shiyan shook her head and smiled lightly . “Mister shouldn’t just judge me by my appearance . At first glance, I might still be a child, but my actual age is already seventeen!”

“Seventeen years old!” Sword Saint Clifford stared blankly, he blinked, and his eyes swept her body . After he frowned, he whispered . “Unbelievable, you unexpectedly have the Emperor’s const.i.tution, so you are close to G.o.dhood . No wonder! It’s no wonder you could defeat three a.s.sa.s.sins . ”

“There is no gain without a loss, don’t worry too much about that kind of thing!” Sword Saint Clifford ruffled her hair and could not help but sigh as he was deeply moved . For the people who pursued the road of becoming strong, this type of const.i.tution was really good . Of course, those who pursued marriage, love, and the secular world may bring harm to themselves even with a great const.i.tution .

Long Shiyan blinked and looked innocent .

Only, he didn’t know what this girl’s goals were .

“How did you rescue me, Mr . Clifford?” Long Shiyan’s words suddenly changed the subject as she asked some questions about him .

Clifford squatted beside the fire and looked at her . He laughed . “My disciple caught a strange disease . I wanted to find dragon gra.s.s and cloud scented flowers to make medicine for her . I had to go into the Magical Beast Forest . I didn’t expect that the moment I entered, I perceived strong magical fluctuations . So I decided to seek the source out of curiosity . I didn’t expect to see four people lying in pools of blood . I checked if anyone was breathing and found that you were still alive . Since it was raining, I decided to bring you back with me .

Originally, I wanted to capture a light type magical beast in order to treat you, but I did not expect that you possess dark Douqi . So with no other way, I used the traditional and unsophisticated methods to heal you . However, your body had recovered very quickly . In only three days, you’re already in good condition . ”

“Three days!” Long Shiyan’s mind trembled . Although the three days weren’t long, it would interfere with their meeting time . If they didn’t find her by the time their meeting period ends, then she wouldn’t know what those people would think, especially Zi Linglong .

 “Mr . Clifford, I have to meet with my cla.s.smates . I have to hurry, or they will be worried . ” Long Shiyan quickly packed up and planned to leave .

“Even though you have recovered a lot, you still aren’t strong enough . If you encounter a strong magical beast or a.s.sa.s.sin, then the chances of surviving aren’t high!” Clifford frowned .

Long Shiyan’s pet.i.te body sat on the stone bed with her eyes closed . Her expression showed that she was at a loss . What he said was right . She shouldn’t lose her ability to calmly judge her situation because of her emotions . The system was still with Zi Linglong . The system should make rational judgments so Zi Linglong wouldn’t make any rash decisions .

And when she reunited with Zi LingLong, that girl will certainly say, “Why are your shoes worn down? What happened to your clothes? How could Elder Sister not know how to take care of herself?! You look so thin with your bony arms and calves . Have you been eating properly? Really, you should be the elder sister and I should be the younger one, so you should be more responsible!”

After Long Shiyan imagined that, she couldn’t help but laugh, only to see that the Sword Saint had a baffled expression . Since he knew that little girls liked to fantasize about random matters, he didn’t bother asking what was wrong . He grabbed the sword on his back and carefully cleaned it .
