"This Finger Skill was indeed created by soone called Zhong Buheng," Lin Shen said, "but I wouldn't consider myself his heir. I just happened to learn a bit of his Finger Skill by chance."
"Being able to learn his Thousand n's Pointer and still not being considered his heir, then what am I, who have only learned the Demon Heart Finger?" Catherine said mockingly.
After speaking, she didn't wait for Lin Shen to say anything, but gazed intently at him and said, "Would you be willing to give up the Thousand n's Pointer? You can na your price, or we could trade. You can have any Evolution Skill, skill, pet, or equipnt you want, or I could use a Base Mutation Planet to exchange for your Thousand n's Pointer."
Lin Shen was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected the Thousand n's Pointer to be so valuable—a Base Mutation Planet was, after all, imasurably valuable. This woman was actually willing to trade it for a Finger Skill. Lin Shen couldn't fathom how the Thousand n's Pointer could possibly be worth so much; it was just a sowhat more powerful Finger Skill after all.
When things seed abnormal, there must be a demon at work. Lin Shen felt it was necessary to find out why the Thousand n's Pointer was valued so highly.
He didn't mind trading the Thousand n's Pointer since the version he practiced had already diverged greatly from the original. If it was just about studying the original, figuring out his Finger Skill would be impossible.
But even if he were to sell the Thousand n's Pointer, he still needed to clarify its value.
When Zhong Buheng passed on the Thousand n's Pointer, his words were bold, claiming that mastering it would allow one to traverse the cosmos unchallenged.
Having mastered the Thousand n's Pointer, Lin Shen did not feel that the Finger Skill was that strong. It could only be considered a top-tier skill, but not strong enough to traverse the cosmos unchallenged.
"Do you have any relation to Zhong Buheng?" Lin Shen looked at Catherine and asked.
"Zhong Buheng is an ancestor of my lineage," Catherine said indifferently. "It seems you don't know much about Zhong Buheng. You must have heard of the Great Demon King's na, right?"
"Zhong Buheng is the Great Demon King?" Lin Shen had a sowhat strange expression.
The na of the Great Demon King was first ntioned to him by Ye Ya. Later, due to the Demon Heart Finger, he also made a point of looking up information on the Great Demon King.
As the era was too remote, Lin Shen only found out that the Great Demon King made a na for himself in the Diman Tribe, but there was a theory suggesting that the Great Demon King was not from the Diman Tribe.
In any case, the Great Demon King in his ti was indeed an individual who had once been invincible in the cosmos, his most famous skill being the Demon Heart Finger.
Lin Shen was unable to find more detailed information. Considering so much ti had passed, it was extraordinary that even this much had survived.
Information persists only for such powerful beings as the Great Demon King, who had been invincible for an era; very few nas from the sa period survived.
In fact, for people of this generation, the era of the Great Demon King was almost akin to myth.
"Is it because of the blood relation that you want the Thousand n's Pointer?" Lin Shen had previously guessed that this woman might be Red Heart A, possibly Catherine, or even that the two might be the sa person, but hearing her claim to be a descendant of the Great Demon King raised more doubts.
Catherine was the daughter of the Arrogant Monarch, and the Arrogant Monarch was not a descendant of the Great Demon King. Otherwise, with such a distinguished lineage, it's unlikely the Arrogant Monarch would never ntion it.
"Bloodlines, such ethereal things, who cares?" Catherine spoke dismissively. "The reason I want the Thousand n's Pointer is that it is an upgraded version of the Demon Heart Finger. Without the Thousand n's Pointer, the Demon Heart Finger has reached its limit. To be outperford at my own family's heirloom skill by an outsider, wouldn't that be laughed at?"
Lin Shen suspected that Catherine wasn't revealing the true reason, but it wasn't essential for him to know.
He had already decided on what to exchange with Catherine. Regardless of what the Thousand n's Pointer was worth, he only needed to exchange for that one thing.
"I can impart the Thousand n's Pointer to you, but under one condition," Lin Shen said, looking at Catherine.
"Speak," Catherine responded directly.
"I want to sleep holding you for one night," Lin Shen blurted out his condition, no longer caring about niceties.
He had drunk so much wine and flattered her extensively, yet he didn't even know her na, let alone get close to obtaining the Fire Seed from her. It was just too difficult.
Since there was such a shortcut available, why not take it?
Since she was willing to offer a planet in exchange for the Thousand n's Pointer, presumably she wouldn't be stingy about a night's embrace.
"Repeat that," Catherine said, her gaze neither cold nor indifferent, as she spoke word for word to Lin Shen.
"Just holding you for one night, fully clothed, nothing else," Lin Shen clarified.
"Do you think I would believe you?" Catherine didn't believe Lin Shen, thinking he was rely using reverse psychology.
"You don't have to trust , but don't you trust yourself?" Lin Shen said with a smile.
Lin Shen's words were like a dagger to the heart; if Catherine genuinely got taken advantage of by Lin Shen, it would only an she had feelings herself, otherwise why not refuse?
Or perhaps it was that Catherine's abilities were inferior to his, and she was incapable of refusing him.

Whichever the case, for soone with as dominant a personality as Catherine, such an outco was unacceptable.
Of course, to Catherine, it was more like a way out, turning what seed to be a sowhat insulting request into an excuse resulting from a fit of pique.
"Fine, I agree. Teach the Thousand n's Pointer first," Catherine stated, evidently eager to acquire the Thousand n's Pointer as she agreed right away.
This made Lin Shen even more convinced that the Thousand n's Pointer itself might have so important role, and it likely wasn't just a simple skill.
"Sleep first, teach after," Lin Shen insisted firmly.
With a woman like her, if he taught the Finger Skill first, it was unlikely she'd let him get close afterward.
No matter what Catherine said, Lin Shen remained firm that he must sleep first and teach later, or else there was no point in continuing the discussion.
Lin Shen had the Thousand n's Pointer in hand; this woman would have to seek him out sooner or later. The one in a hurry now was not him.
"If you don't teach the Thousand n's Pointer afterwards, or if you teach it wrongly, I assure you, you will definitely not leave Diman Star alive," Catherine stated coldly, staring at Lin Shen.
She was very assertive, but it was clear that she had conceded.
"What exactly is the function of the Thousand n's Pointer? How can it make a woman who trades planets so casually concede to this extent?" Lin Shen grew increasingly curious, but right now, obtaining the Fire Seed was more important, and he could not care less about the rest.
"Co with ." Catherine walked towards the orbit machine with an expressionless face.
Lin Shen quickly followed suit, secretly pleased with himself, "Another step closer to the complete Heaven Defying Bone; I wonder what effects it will have when it's complete."
