Chapter 147: Momo's Choice
Grinning foolishly as he returned to the living room, Franklin saw Lala and Momo appear at that exact moment in a flash of white light. The two girls' faces were almost unchanged — only their figures had become even more flawless, perfectly proportioned to their current bodies.
Just gazing from afar at the sisters' smooth, alluring skin made Franklin feel as if he could barely hold himself together.
The Origin Clan's bloodline truly was powerful — even without activating their charm ability, they were already so tempting.
If Momo and Lala were to deliberately charm him… just imagining that scene made Franklin's blood surge.
Forcing himself to suppress those wandering thoughts, Franklin casually waved his hand. Instantly, the ambient spiritual energy gathered around Momo and formed into a soft, pure-white spaghetti-strap dress, decorated with multicolored blossoms. As for Lala, she simply used Peke to switch into home clothes.
When Franklin entered, the three women's eyes brightened simultaneously.
"Lin, you're giving this kind of pill to Mom?" Lala asked with delight. "I think she'll definitely be happy about it!"
Momo, however, thought more deeply. Though she smiled, there was a trace of worry hidden in her eyes.
"Lin, while giving Mom that pill is a good idea, I think it might trouble her even more. Her constitution is already special — just her presence makes any man who sees her lose their reason. If she takes this Youth Retaining Pill, I fear even women might start being attracted to her. Living a normal life would become extremely difficult."
Hearing Momo's sharp observation, Franklin smiled and nodded.
"I've already considered that. That's why there's a second pill. The effect of this one might address her problem at the root. Of course, that's just my theory. Your mother's issue mainly stems from her Origin Clan bloodline — it's rather diluted, or rather, impure.
The Bloodline Fusion Pill probably won't do much for her, but this Bloodline Purification Pill is different. It refines the user's bloodline, removing defects and making it purer.
For example, Lala's now fully awakened Origin Clan bloodline allows her to freely control whether or not she charms others — even manipulate those who've been charmed. If your mother can do the same, then everything would be perfectly solved."
Momo's eyes widened in disbelief. "Can such a pill really do that?"
Franklin spread his hands. "Like I said — it's only a hypothesis. It's the best-case scenario, assuming your mother's issue is caused by her bloodline being impure.
But if it's the opposite — if her problem comes from her bloodline being too pure — then taking this pill rashly could lead to unimaginable consequences.
For instance, your father isn't affected by her charm right now. But if she took this pill and her bloodline purity rose even further, who knows what might happen?
So this pill must wait until your mother comes to Blue Star. I'll test her bloodline first to confirm whether she should take it. Of course, if either of you can analyze such a subtle bloodline yourselves and determine whether it's impure or too pure, that would work too."
Having laid out all his speculations, Franklin left both Momo and Lala in thoughtful silence.
"Don't overthink it," Franklin said with a wave of his hand. "Just send it to your father and let him decide. It's only a bloodline test — if it works, great; if not, I'll think of another solution."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Franklin," Lala said earnestly. "You've been so kind to us, and you even care so much about our parents. I'm sure they'll be overjoyed when they hear this. Mom has always dreamed of being able to walk the streets openly, without hiding from anyone's gaze. She and Dad have sought help from many people, but none could solve it."
Franklin shook his head with a faint smile. "Don't flatter me. I don't even know if it'll work. You shouldn't get your hopes up too high — the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Let's just wait until we meet."
"I believe in you, Mr. Franklin. Not just me — even my royal sister believes in you. She said it was fate that brought you together, and that her choice was absolutely right. I think my choice will be too. So, Mr. Franklin — let's test it."
Her sudden shift in topic left Franklin momentarily stunned. Only when Momo stepped right up to him did he realize what she meant.
"I refuse," he said quickly. "If we test it and it turns out I'm not the one, what then? That kind of risk isn't worth taking."
Bulma, who had been quietly observing, said nothing. Though she was curious too, she understood Franklin's reasoning — if he wasn't the destined one, what would Momo do then? Continue chasing him, or seek her true fated partner elsewhere?
Lala also looked toward Franklin. She remembered how ecstatic she'd been when her own choice had been proven right — and now she couldn't help but wonder if Momo's choice would be as well.
"Mr. Franklin," Momo said calmly, her eyes firm. "I've already come this far — I even fought my sister for a man. Why should I hesitate now? I've always made my own choices."
Seeing the resolve in her eyes, Franklin could only sigh helplessly.
"Then… wait a bit. I need to check your current status first before we do anything."
Spiritual energy flowed into his eyes, activating the True Sight ability instantly.
