Chapter 100: Gratitude for Saving a Life Should Be Repaid with Devotion (Five Updates, Please Subscribe)
“Who’s that?” Lin Shen was utterly baffled, unable to think of any woman Lin Miao might have in mind for him.
Based on Lin Shen’s understanding of her, the won Lin Miao knew were mostly other people’s wives, and there weren’t any young girls.
At this thought, Lin Shen’s heart skipped a beat, “She couldn’t be setting up for a second marriage, could she?”
Lin Shen didn’t truly believe Lin Miao would introduce him to a divorcee, but he once overheard Cang Yun ntion that many famous figures in ancient tis liked to marry divorced won, preferably those with children.
They said won who had given birth had proven their capabilities, ensuring they’d be good at childbearing if you married them.
At the ti, Cang Yun had shared the story with Lin Shen as a joke, but now that Lin Miao suddenly sprang this on him, Lin Shen seriously wondered if Lin Miao intended to introduce him to so wealthy widow.
Although Lin Shen didn’t mind living off a woman, there was a condition – he had to be attracted to her.
“She’s already in the garden out back, co on, I’ll take you to et her. Have a good chat, and if you marry her, you won’t have to worry about anything ever again.” Lin Miao pulled Lin Shen toward the back garden.
“Big sister, I have sothing important to discuss with you, can we go after we’ve talked…” After hearing Lin Miao’s words, Lin Shen beca even more convinced that he was right; his sister had gone crazy to the point of introducing him to a wealthy single lady.
“Nothing is more important than this matter. Talk after you’ve t her.” Lin Miao didn’t give Lin Shen a chance to speak and pulled him straight into the garden at the back.
“How about that, isn’t she beautiful? In all my years, I’ve never seen a woman this stunning. If you marry her, it would be your good fortune,” Lin Miao whispered to Lin Shen, her gaze fixed on a spot in the garden.
From a distance, Lin Shen saw a mosaic figure standing by the fish pond. His expression shifted as he looked at Lin Miao and asked, “Big sister, do you know who she is?”
“Of course, I do. Your college junior, Bai Shenfei. Didn’t she help you out a while back? How could you have had the chance to escape if it weren’t for her? Repay the life-saving grace with a marriage proposal,” Lin Miao declared earnestly.
“Sister, what are you even talking about…” Lin Shen was sowhat speechless.
“What, you think she’s too old for you? I’ve already asked; although she’s your younger senior, she’s much younger than your fourth brother, only three years older than you. A woman three years older is like a gold brick; three years is no issue at all.”
“It’s not about the age.” Lin Shen didn’t know quite what to say for a mont.
“What’s with all this talk about this problem or that problem? Go on and have a good conversation with her, and if it doesn’t go well, you’re not allowed to eat today.” Lin Miao pushed Lin Shen forward and left the garden herself.
“Such a beautiful girl would be perfect to carry on the Lin Family legacy, do your best to win her over, your sister is rooting for you.” As she left, Lin Miao didn’t forget to offer encouragent to Lin Shen, making a heart shape with her fingers.
Lin Shen shook his head helplessly and walked toward the fish pond.
“Why are you here?” Lin Shen approached Bai Shenfei, found a place to sit down, and asked listlessly.
“What, now that you’ve beco a playboy, I’m unworthy as your senior sister?” There was a sting in Bai Shenfei’s words.
“Bai Senior Sister, please stop teasing . ‘Playboy’ isn’t exactly a complint, is it?” Lin Shen sighed.
“How’s your cultivation of the Base Mutation technique I gave you coming along?” Bai Shenfei asked with a smile.
“Haven’t practiced.” Lin Shen said bluntly.
“Why not practice?” Bai Shenfei frowned.
“It’s not working for ,” Lin Shen admitted truthfully. He simply couldn’t master the “Talent Theory,” no matter how hard he tried. Perhaps his talent really wasn’t enough.
“Won’t you give it another try?” Bai Shenfei was clearly a bit displeased.
“No more trying, I’ve already chosen my Base Mutation Technique, and I’ve started practicing it,” Lin Shen had decided to continue practicing the flawed version of Evolution Theory.
The effect of the flawed Evolution Theory was already good enough, at least Lin Shen hadn’t heard of any Base Mutation Technique that was more practical than the flawed Evolution Theory he was practicing.
After practicing Evolution Theory, even his duration of Super-Base Change increased significantly; his normal Mutator state lasted longer than that of the average Mutator.
He made this discovery during his fight with Zheng Guyuan— the higher the stress on his body, the more the Evolution Theory allowed his body to withstand.
The more often he used Super-Base Change, the longer Evolution Theory allowed him to maintain that state, an effect that was difficult to achieve with any other Base Mutation Technique.
Applying Evolution Theory to the Steel Carapace was even more effective than on his flesh and blood.
“What Base Mutation Technique are you practicing?” Bai Shenfei asked thoughtfully.
“Evolution Theory,” Lin Shen answered honestly.
Imdiately, Bai Shenfei furrowed her brows, “Why would you choose Evolution Theory? Hasn’t anyone told you it’s the most basic Base Mutation Technique?”
“Basic doesn’t necessarily an bad, I think Evolution Theory is quite good,” Lin Shen asked curiously, “Why are you suddenly interested in what Base Mutation Technique I’m cultivating?”
“Didn’t you say you wanted to be my boyfriend? I thought you had been diligently cultivating Gift Theory recently. It seems others are right after all, n’s mouths are deceitful, they’re unreliable,” Bai Shenfei sighed.
“What, you’re being pressured into marriage too?” Lin Shen could sense an indescribable lancholy in Bai Shenfei’s sigh, which piqued his curiosity even more.
“If it were only about being pressured to marry,” Bai Shenfei scattered all the fish food into the pond, leaned on the railing, and rested her cheek in one hand while watching the fish scramble to feed.
“Then what is it for?” The more Bai Shenfei withheld, the more curious Lin Shen beca; he could barely keep his gossipy soul in check.
“Would you be willing to spend your life with a man you’ve never t?” Bai Shenfei suddenly asked, startling Lin Shen.
“First, I don’t like n; second, what era are we living in for there still to be arranged marriages? Sister, you don’t have to be afraid. You should boldly stand up against old thoughts and traditions…”
Bai Shenfei interrupted Lin Shen’s impassioned speech with a glare, “What are you talking about? No one is forcing , Mr. Tian has chosen the person for .”
“No, Sister, what do you an? What do you an Mr. Tian has chosen for you, you haven’t been conned by a fortune teller, have you?” Lin Shen was growing more incredulous. Bai Shenfei didn’t seem like soone who could be fooled by a con artist, yet she was saying such things.
“The Base Mutation Technique I gave you is called ‘Talent Theory,’” Bai Shenfei, tired of his nonsense, calmly stated, “It is a purely human-created Base Mutation Technique. But ever since ‘Talent Theory’ was created up to now, no one has been able to reach the Ascension Level with it. You know about the Ascension Level, right?”
“I know,” Lin Shen nodded slightly.
“The creator of ‘Talent Theory’ was Bai Zai, an elder in my family. Our family has been researching ‘Talent Theory’ for a long ti. By my generation, we finally found a thod to breakthrough ‘Talent Theory.’”
“What’s the thod?” Lin Shen had already guessed a bit.
“Dual cultivation,” Bai Shenfei slowly uttered the two words.
