Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 640 - 638: Exposed

Lu Shouyue scanned the area and noticed the thief at the door, a sword pierced through his chest, blood gushing from his mouth and nose. It seemed his fate was sealed.

Ahao also noticed the person at his feet, startled by his dying appearance, taking in more breath than letting out.

"This..." Ahao was dumbstruck.

Lu Shouyue quickly assessed the situation in Lin Wanwan’s room and naturally noticed the handgun that had fallen beside the dying man and the bullet casing rolling by his foot.

He actually brought a gun and even fired it!

"Did you shoot the gun? Did you hit her?" Lu Shouyue moved forward, grabbed the sword hilt, and shook it.

The intense pain allowed the old ghost a brief moment of clarity. He gazed into Lu Shouyue’s bloodshot eyes, pleading, muttering "no, no," but couldn’t form a complete sentence.

Amidst their life-and-death struggle, the phone that fell to the side still connected, emitted the anxious voice of the operator.

"Hello, hello, are you in danger? Where are you? Hello, hello, can you hear me..."

Lu Shouyue expressionlessly withdrew the sword.

With the sword lodged in, the old ghost could linger on a bit longer, but once removed, blood gushed out wildly.

"Drag him out, don’t let him die in this room." Lu Shouyue ordered coldly, stepping back a few steps to avoid the splatter of blood.

Meanwhile, he picked up the phone, calmly starting a conversation with the person on the other side.

"Yes."

Ahao, without a word, dragged the man out, even lifting the tomb robber’s clothes to press against his bloody wound, preventing the blood from splattering everywhere.

As a bodyguard to a wealthy patron, Ahao naturally wasn’t afraid of trouble. In this line of work, he was mentally prepared to face criminals.

Even if the guy died while being dragged, Ahao didn’t care, knowing the Lu Family would plan a way out for him.

Back in the modern world, Lu Shouyue sat on the sofa waiting for the police while worrying about Lin Wanwan’s safety and pondering how to negotiate with the authorities.

Meanwhile, in the Great Tang, Lin Wanwan, who had been swept by a space-time ripple, was experiencing a thrilling, dangerous free fall!

Indeed, she had appeared mid-air over Mao County of the Great Tang from the modern era, plummeting vertically!

If nothing broke her fall, she would soon end up splattered and broken.

The thrill of weightlessness made Lin Wanwan scream all the way down, her throat going hoarse.

Finally, providence favored the persistent, and it wasn’t Lin Wanwan’s fate to perish; as the chosen one of time travel, how could she just die so easily? Clearly not!

After a period of free fall, she landed into a towering, dense thicket of trees, her descent cushioned multiple times, snapping countless branches, finally coming to a halt, hanging from a thick branch.

Under the tree stood a gentleman like jade, playing a tune with a leaf.

It was none other than Xiao Chong, the County Magistrate of Mao County, and this place was precisely where Lin Wanwan and Xiao Chong had fallen off a cliff together years ago.

Recently, Xiao Chong, who had been visiting the countryside to inspect yam and cotton cultivation, rested nearby within the village.

In the dead of night, an insomniac Xiao Chong quietly retraced the memory lane, finding himself in this forest, idly plucking a leaf, playing a tune in solitude amidst the night.

Lin Wanwan’s descending screams naturally startled Xiao Chong, causing him to raise his head.

Beneath the sparse starlit sky and moon, the fire burning not far in front of Xiao Chong lit up the branch, highlighting the disheveled beauty dangling there.

Lin Wanwan, shaken, realized she had stopped, hanging three to four meters from the ground, finally able to take in her surroundings.

Though unfamiliar with the place, the firelight allowed her to recognize the flawless face below.

The truth, long speculated, suddenly descended like this, catching Xiao Chong completely off guard.

The quietest moment in the world is terrifying...

On the tree, Lin Wanwan and below, Xiao Chong, stared at each other in bewilderment.

"Hehe, cousin... cousin, if I say I was climbing trees for fun, would you believe me?" Lin Wanwan, hanging from the tree, first broke the silence with a nervous laugh trying to cover her guilt.

But as she moved, the branch could no longer bear her weight.

With a crack, it broke, and Lin Wanwan fell, involuntarily closing her eyes.

Xiao Chong leaped forward, catching the falling Lin Wanwan, rolling over to dissipate the force of her fall, leaving neither injured.

Though the position was undeniably awkward!

Xiao Chong blankly held the short-sleeved palace nightgown-clad Lin Wanwan, lying together on the ground, unclear if he was genuinely stunned or feigning it.

After a moment, Lin Wanwan realized he had no intention of releasing her, struggling instinctively, pushing against his firm chest.

Seemingly snapping out of it, Xiao Chong immediately released her, helping her up, turning away not to look.

"Cousin, are you... are you injured anywhere?"

Remarkably, his first words were of concern, not interrogation.

Lin Wanwan hesitated, then shook her head, realizing Xiao Chong couldn’t see, she spoke, "I don’t think there’s anything wrong."

Xiao Chong paused, then pointed at the clean stone by the fire pile, feigning nonchalance, "Cousin, sit and talk slowly."

Lin Wanwan obediently moved to sit, her mind buzzing with realization; her secret had been exposed.

Would Xiao Chong regard her as a monster? In ancient times, discovering monsters often led to tying them up and burning them, right?

So many folklore tales write about that.

It’s best to travel back quickly, perhaps Xiao Chong would dismiss this night’s events as a sleepwalking dream, questioning its truth.

She should have pierced the thief’s heart; returning now, he’d have no strength to retaliate, no fear of his gun. If he was dead, even better, if not, she’d need to finish the job.

He witnessed her time travel; she couldn’t trust him as a subordinate, so he must be silenced.

Besides, being armed and invading her home, her counterattack was reasonable, no fear of legal issues.

With this in mind, Lin Wanwan hurriedly checked her bracelet, but was shocked to find a crack!

She raised her wrist under the firelight, confirming the bracelet was indeed broken!

Yet, seemingly, there was some energy between heaven and earth continuously repairing the bracelet; Lin Wanwan could feel it.

Exposing a fair, rounded arm and equally fair shin, this sight was quite stimulating for Xiao Chong, living in the Great Tang.

So, regaining rationality, his eyes stared into the distance, avoiding improper sights.

A moment later, he seemed to think of something, quickly untying his belt and handing Lin Wanwan his outer robe, "Cousin, the wind is strong, wear this." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Lin Wanwan then realized how inappropriate her palace nightdress was in the Great Tang. After accepting Xiao Chong’s outer robe, she glanced at him, noting he had blushed to his neck, finding it somewhat endearing.

She couldn’t help but smile, but in the next moment, contemplating the millennium gap between them, she couldn’t sustain her smile.

A short-sleeved nightgown, common in the modern world, prompted Xiao Chong to disregard propriety, offering his outer robe for cover.

Alas, ultimately, they’re from two different worlds.
