Bai Xue? Luo Qianxue? Exotic Human?
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The winter break at Shanhai University is coming to an end, and the new semester will begin tomorrow.
Over the past two weeks.
Lin Zichen spends most of his time at home or in the research institute, practicing the Blood Tempering Technique with Shen Qinghan every morning, noon, and evening.
Period.
Yuan Dongzhi and Liu Chuanwu, the divorced ex-husband and ex-wife, provided Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, who were in the throes of new love, with a lot of resources to replenish their blood and qi, helping them cultivate the Blood Tempering Technique.
Liu Chuanwu was dirt poor; at most, he could only give away some Blood Recovery Pill.
Yuan Dongzhi was different.
She was backed by the Yuan Family Nanjiang, a large and wealthy family whose home was filled with all sorts of highly nourishing foods.
She took out all sorts of precious and Exotic Fruit, such as Century-Old Blood Ginseng, Six-Flavor Rehmannia Fruit, Blood-Sworn Demon Flower, and stuffed them into Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan's arms as if they were free.
To the uninitiated, one might mistake this aloof, elegant woman in a cheongsam for the couple's mother.
With so many resources at our backs.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan's body tempering efficiency was greatly improved, and they both successfully broke through before the start of the school term.
The former has completed four rounds of body tempering, making his internal energy and blood even more abundant, comparable to Advanced Tier 3 expert.
The latter Secondary Body Tempering, evolving his Biological Rank from the peak of the Ordinary Rank 6 to the Ordinary Rank 8, a direct jump of two ranks.
The night before school started.
7:45 PM.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan walked leisurely along the school path, heading to the principal's office in the Administration Building to find Yuan Dongzhi.
Shen Qinghan's Biological Rank has evolved to the Ordinary Rank 8, and her mental strength has also increased significantly, allowing her to attempt to enslave the third type of water-attribute Exotic Beast gene.
For this reason, Yuan Dongzhi specially prepared an extremely precious "Water Butterfly" Gene Reagent for her.
The Water Butterfly is an Exotic Beast that lives in water.
It is not a butterfly in essence, but it does resemble one in appearance, hence the name "Water Butterfly".
The defining characteristic of this Exotic Beast is that its mental strength far surpasses that of other creatures of the same level.
In addition, it can also unleash illusion attacks.
It is an extremely Rare spiritual-type water-attribute Exotic Beast.
It is far Rare than the Deep Blue Jellyfish King gene.
Even a large family like the Yuan Family Nanjiang doesn't have many Water Butterfly Gene Reagent.
Besides Rare, the fusion of the Water Butterfly's genes is also highly difficult.
The standards are so high that very few people on Earth can meet the criteria for fusion.
Even a powerful figure like Yuan Dongzhi wouldn't meet the standard for fusing with the Water Butterfly's genes.
However, Yuan Dongzhi felt that Shen Qinghan's special physique must be able to enslave the genes of the Water Butterfly.
Therefore, a priceless Water Butterfly Gene Reagent was specially prepared for her.
"Xiao Chen, the quality of my body tempering is really poor."
"They've already completed the Secondary Body Tempering, but their Biological Rank is only at the Ordinary Rank 8."
"Sister Yan has also achieved the Secondary Body Tempering, but she can already hold her own against an Advanced Tier 1."
On the school path, Shen Qinghan frowned slightly, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and complained to Lin Zichen beside her, looking somewhat distressed.
As Lin Zichen walked, he said, "Sister Yan has cultivated the Blood Tempering Technique for ten whole years, and after going through countless hardships, she finally achieved the Secondary Body Tempering."
"And you, you've only been cultivating for less than half a year, yet you've already reached the Secondary Body Tempering."
"And you still envy Sister Yan? If Sister Yan heard you say that, she'd probably faint on her yoga mat from anger."
"..."
Shen Qinghan: "Sister Yan won't be angry. She'll only be happy for me and praise me for being amazing."
Lin Zichen: "Sister Yan praises you on the surface, but she's cursing you in her heart."
Shen Qinghan: "Sister Yan isn't that kind of person."
Lin Zichen: "Unless Sister Yan isn't human, she'll definitely scold you."
Shen Qinghan: "You're judging a gentleman by your own petty standards!"
"..."
The two bickered back and forth the whole way, and soon arrived at the principal's office.
Lin Zichen raised his hand and knocked on the door, saying, "Principal Yuan, we've arrived."
Come in.
A cold, clear voice came from inside the office.
Lin Zichen pushed open the door and entered, with Shen Qinghan obediently following behind him.
At this moment, Yuan Dongzhi was leaning back in his office chair, resting with his eyes closed.
Seeing the two enter, she didn't open her narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes, but simply said to Shen Qinghan in a calm tone:
"Go drink some water, then lie down in bed. I'll inject you with the Water Butterfly gene."
"Yes, I'll have to trouble you later, Master."
After Shen Qinghan finished speaking, she went to the tea table to drink some water.
He drank one cup after another.
Once you've drunk no more, you can start injecting the water-attribute Water Butterfly gene.
When fusing with the genes of water-attribute Exotic Beast, the more water in their bodies, the easier the fusion.
Although Shen Qinghan did not integrate, she enslaved.
But drinking it won't do any harm.
Why not drink it if you're going to waste?
Perhaps having more water in one's body can also help with the genes that enslave Exotic Beast.
"Master, I'm full."
Shen Qinghan touched her slightly sore stomach, looking a little uncomfortable.
Yuan Dongzhi said, "Come up and lie down after you've had your fill of water."
"Good."
Shen Qinghan responded and obediently lay down on the bed.
Yuan Dongzhi wasted no time and directly reached out to lift up Shen Qinghan's shirt.
Then, I took a cotton swab, dipped it in alcohol, and gently applied it to her chest to disinfect her before the injection.
While applying it.
Yuan Dongzhi noticed that Shen Qinghan's breasts looked much fuller than before, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "It hasn't been that long, how come your breasts have gotten so much bigger?"
"No way..."
Shen Qinghan's pretty face flushed slightly, feeling quite embarrassed.
Seeing her little apprentice's pretty face turn as red as a peach, Yuan Dongzhi laughed and said, "You're already a young woman who's been living with your fiancé for half a year, how come you're still so easily embarrassed?"
"I'm not shy..."
Shen Qinghan said weakly.
She said no, but her increasingly flushed face betrayed her.
Seeing that she was so shy and blushed easily, Principal Yuan stopped talking about her chest.
To avoid causing her to have excessive emotional fluctuations, which could affect the Gene Enslavement to be carried out.
After disinfection.
Yuan Dongzhi took a syringe filled with Water Butterfly Gene Reagent, aimed the sharp needle at Shen Qinghan's chest, and gently inserted it to begin the injection.
Within seconds, all the Water Butterfly Gene Reagent had been injected.
During this time, Shen Qinghan lay quietly without even frowning.
Yuan Dongzhi carefully placed the empty syringe aside and said to her, "If you feel any discomfort later, speak up immediately. Don't suffer in silence."
"Yes, I understand, Master."
Shen Qinghan said softly.
Yuan Dongzhi didn't speak again, but quietly placed her hand on Shen Qinghan's chest, using her Mental Power to observe the process of Gene Enslavement within her body.
During her observation, she was quite envious of the full, smooth feel of the product on her hands.
His little apprentice not only had outstanding evolutionary talent, but also an equally outstanding talent in feeding children.
In just a few months, her breasts have become so much fuller; she's truly gifted.
All I can say is that my grand-apprentice is going to be very lucky in the future.
A few minutes later.
Yuan Dongzhi removed his hand from Shen Qinghan's chest and said to her, "The enslavement was very successful; the Water Butterfly's genes are now completely controlled by yours."
"Once you've become familiar with controlling the Water Butterfly's genes, you can try to see if you can use illusion attacks."
"However, don't have too high expectations. Just because the Water Butterfly can use illusion attacks in its normal state doesn't mean that you, who control the Water Butterfly's genes, can do the same."
"After all, genes are only a part of the Water Butterfly's body, not the entirety of Water Butterfly."
"You, who have only controlled the Water Butterfly's genes, are definitely not as good as the Water Butterfly itself."
"..."
"Yes, I understand, Master." Shen Qinghan nodded.
She's said the same thing countless times.
"Yes, I understand, Master," became her catchphrase when speaking to Yuan Dongzhi.
In the time that follows.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan stayed in the office to chat with Yuan Dongzhi.
Let's talk about the Origin Land conversation.
Talking about Divine Plant Cult.
Let's talk about Pure-Blood Human Path.
Let's talk about whatever comes to mind.
The reason Yuan Dongzhi wanted Shen Qinghan to stay for half an hour to keep a close eye on the Gene Enslavement within her body, in case any unexpected situations occurred.
During this half hour, Lin Zichen and Yuan Dongzhi were the main conversationalists.
Shen Qinghan sat quietly to the side, using her Mental Power to manipulate the Water Butterfly gene within her body.
Activate, hibernate, activate, hibernate...
Repeat the operation continuously.
I want to quickly master the manipulation of the Water Butterfly's genes.
I controlled it like that for a while.
Before long, Shen Qinghan was able to skillfully control the Water Butterfly genes within her body.
Then, we tried to use the Water Butterfly's genes to see if we could unleash an illusion attack.
I tried several times, but all attempts ended in failure.
While Shen Qinghan was fiddling with these things.
Lin Zichen and Yuan Dongzhi talked about Luo Qianxue, and Lin Zichen asked, "Principal Yuan, can you tell me about your eldest disciple in the Origin Land? I'm quite curious about her."
Ever since he saw Luo Qianxue's record on the Exotic Human Genius List that night, he had been filled with curiosity about Shen Qinghan's nominal senior sister.
I wonder just how talented Shen Qinghan's junior sister must be to be able to single-handedly kill an Advanced Tier 5 expert at the age of 19.
Yuan Dongzhi didn't rush to answer, but instead asked calmly, "Are you curious about her because you saw her record on the Exotic Human Genius List?"
"Yes." Lin Zichen nodded.
Yuan Dongzhi pondered quietly for a moment, then said, "Actually, I don't know my eldest disciple very well either."
"I found her on a snow-capped mountain in the Origin Land 11 years ago."
"She was only 8 years old at the time, alone and curled up under a tree, barely alive. Her lips were black, and her face was unusually pale, suggesting poisoning. She looked like she wouldn't live much longer."
"I felt sorry for her, so I helped her out and took her with me."
"After spending some time with her, I felt she was quite sensible, so I took her in as my apprentice and raised her."
"After raising her for about three months, it was time for me to return to Earth, so I took her to the base in the Origin Land and settled her in there."
"Later on, when I go down to the Origin Land, I'll visit her and bring her a gift."
"As for her background, I know nothing about it."
"Because whenever I asked, she would just shake her head and say she didn't remember anything, as if she had amnesia."
"..."
Was Luo Qianxue picked up from the Origin Land?
Lin Zichen was somewhat surprised by this, then, as if remembering something, asked, "Principal Yuan, is your eldest disciple an Exotic Human?"
"It's Exotic Human."
After finishing her sentence, Yuan Dongzhi added, "Because she is Exotic Human, she can only stay at the Origin Land Stronghold and live under surveillance, unable to come to Earth and live with me."
Lin Zichen: "Can't Exotic Human come to Earth?"
Yuan Dongzhi shook his head. "They can't come. The Military District would never allow Exotic Human to enter Earth."
Lin Zichen fell into deep thought after hearing this.
Since Exotic Human can't come to Earth, does that mean that this Luo Qianxue isn't Bai Xue, the transfer student from second grade?
However, these two people have far too many similarities.
Their names all contain the character for "snow".
Their hair is all white.
Their ages all match.
Most importantly, Bai Xue was 8 years old when she dropped out of school 11 years ago, and Luo Qianxue, whom Yuan Dongzhi found in the snow-capped mountains 11 years ago, was also 8 years old. Isn't that too much of a coincidence?
Thinking about it this way, could it be that when Bai Xue dropped out of school back then, she went to the Origin Land?
Lin Zichen carefully recalled the details of Bai Xue dropping out of school back then.
He clearly remembered that the adult who brought Bai Xue to complete the withdrawal procedures was a male Mechanical Cyborg with a pair of mechanical arms.
That's strange. Since you're already heading to the Origin Land, why not just leave? Why go through the trouble of coming to the school to complete the withdrawal procedures?
Are you really that rule-abiding?
Furthermore, Mechanical Cyborg cannot descend to the Origin Land. If Luo Qianxue is truly Bai Xue, then it shouldn't have been Mechanical Cyborg who took her away, but rather Gene Fusionist.
Furthermore, if Bai Xue is indeed Luo Qianxue, how did she, as Exotic Human, come to Earth to attend elementary school back then?
What's the point of coming to Earth to attend primary school?
Like the Fox-Eared Girl, is this the heiress of the Origin Land who came to Earth to experience life?
No, it's too messy, there's no logic at all, I can't make sense of it.
Lin Zichen chose to stop thinking, no longer dwelling on Bai Xue and Luo Qianxue.
He was lost in thought, but Yuan Dongzhi brought it up on his own initiative.
Yuan Dongzhi looked at Shen Qinghan and said, "You told me before that there was a transfer student in your second grade who looked a lot like your senior, and you suspected that your senior was that transfer student."
"I said it was impossible right away, because your senior sister is Exotic Human, and it's impossible for her to appear on Earth."
"The reason you think they look alike is probably because they both happen to have white hair, and you were young at the time, so your memory isn't clear enough, and you end up thinking they're the same person."
"..."
"Then I must have mistaken you for someone else," Shen Qinghan nodded and said.
Lin Zichen fell into deep thought once again.
He thought, if the Fox-Eared Girl could smuggle herself to Earth, then the Exotic Human certainly could too.
Perhaps, the smelly Bai Xue from second grade is the same Luo Qianxue in the Origin Land now.
But if you think about it that way, why would the other person come to Earth to attend elementary school and then suddenly go back? That does make some sense.
Forget it, there's nothing to think about.
He was just a transfer student in the second grade of elementary school.
Whether she is Luo Qianxue or not is unimportant.
Whether she is Exotic Human or not is unimportant.
There's no need to waste your energy thinking about her.
