Chapter 40 "Could you come to my room for a bit later?"
Yun Ze was speechless. "
Sister, you're making it sound like I did something to you."
However, Yun Ze quickly realized that Ling Luo Chen's condition was indeed a bit off.
Of course, it wasn't that she was in a bad state, but rather that she was too good.
He could feel the surrounding ice elements seemingly wanting to actively enter Ling Luo Chen's body and resonate with her martial soul. Although Ling Luo Chen hadn't yet obtained her fourth soul ring, if this state continued, it would greatly benefit her martial soul itself.
Yun Ze immediately thought of his own physique and martial soul.
"The luck I possess should only have an effect on the soul beasts of the far north. After intertwining with everyone's destiny power, it should also have some effect on the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. So that must be the reason I possess ultimate attributes."
He thought silently, unaware that one of the invisible threads of destiny spreading in two directions had already landed on Ling Luo Chen.
The young woman and two middle-aged men beside her looked at Ling Luochen with strange expressions.
They exchanged glances, a mysterious smile playing on their lips.
After entering Xuanbing City, they walked along the main street for about twenty minutes until they arrived at a vast mansion.
Two sharp characters were clearly engraved on the plaque:
Ling Mansion!
"Little brother, we've arrived," the young woman said softly, leading Yunze inside.
Ling Luochen glanced at Yunze, biting her lip slightly, and followed him with small steps.
As a prominent family in Xuanbing City, the Ling Mansion didn't actually house many people. Only a few dozen direct descendants lived there, the rest being maids and servants.
Many maids lingering in the courtyard saw Yunze, their eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of amazement.
What a handsome little fellow!
Yunze didn't react much to these gazes, but he secretly enjoyed them.
"Sister's back!"
Soon, a figure emerged from the side courtyard. It was a girl who looked slightly younger than Ling Luochen, equally beautiful. Unlike Ling Luochen's aloof, porcelain-doll-like features, the girl's appearance was more like that of a delicate, refined young lady.
Ling Luochen glanced at her, her eyes remaining cold, and nodded imperceptibly without speaking.
Yun Ze noticed that although the girl wore a smile, her eyes held no genuine joy.
It seemed her current demeanor was mostly an act.
He had absolutely no interest in these family matters; his trip to Xuanbing City was merely a spur-of-the-moment decision to visit the human world and learn about the hunting of Arctic Soul Beasts.
It seemed that the more miserable the people of Xuanbing City were, the more advantageous it was for the Arctic region.
The girl's gaze shifted slightly, landing on Yun Ze beside Ling Luochen.
So handsome!
But she quickly realized that Yun Ze and Ling Luochen were standing very close together, completely different from the Ling Luochen she had seen before.
The Ling Luo Chen of the past, ever since her younger brother's death, had been completely aloof from men, maintaining a distance even from her father and elders.
Now, however, she was standing so close to such a handsome young man!
The girl's surface remained calm, but inwardly she sneered.
The Snow Princess, aloof as frost, is this all?
She's just after his body!
In fact, the girl's guess wasn't entirely wrong, because Ling Luo Chen truly did desire Yun Ze's body.
Of course, she was after Yun Ze's physique, or perhaps his extreme attributes. "Little brother, this is my second brother's daughter, Ling Qian Shuang. Although her talent is slightly less than Luo Chen's, she is still a genius of our Ling family." The young woman glanced at Ling Qian Shuang and introduced her to Yun Ze.
Yun Ze nodded and greeted Ling Qian Shuang generously, "Hello, Miss Ling."
The two middle-aged men glanced at Yun Ze upon hearing his words.
The first time they met Ling Luo Chen, they called her "Sister Ling," but now they called her "Sister Luo Chen," while addressing Ling Qian Shuang as "Miss Ling. "
This little guy is quite the looks-obsessed one.
Ling Qian Shuang didn't react much. Although she wasn't very old, being from a powerful family like the Ling family, she was naturally much more intelligent than her peers.
Judging from the young woman's attitude towards Yun Ze, Ling Qian Shuang didn't believe they brought him back because he was handsome.
Moreover, her own martial soul was also ice-attribute, and Ling Qian Shuang was very surprised to find that Yun Ze seemed to completely surpass her in both cultivation and aura!
Keep in mind, she's only almost thirteen years old, yet her cultivation has already reached the third ring!
Yun Ze, on the other hand, looks to be at most eight or nine years old.
Of course, Ling Qian Shuang had no intention of competing with Ling Luo Chen for Yun Ze. In her view, Yun Ze's attitude towards her was different from his attitude towards Ling Luo Chen, and it seemed that Ling Luo Chen had already gained the upper hand. If she wasn't careful, Yun Ze might develop a dislike for her.
The best approach was still with Ling Luo Chen himself.
Everyone knew that Ling Luo Chen's attitude towards the opposite sex was completely aloof. Even if this handsome little guy was special to Ling Luo Chen, being around such a cold girl would likely make him leave in no time.
Anyway, if she couldn't have him, Ling Luo Chen couldn't have him either—that was the best outcome!
Ling Qian Shuang thought smugly.
"Come on, little brother, I'll take you to the guest room." The young woman gently patted Yun Ze's shoulder. He nodded, glanced at Ling Luo Chen, hesitated for a moment, and then followed the young woman away.
"Speaking of which, little brother, we've known each other all the way here, but I still don't know your name. My name is Ling Hanyan, you can call me Sister Hanyan."
"My name is Yunze."
"Yunze? Hehe, that's a really nice name~"
Ling Luochen, who was about to return to his room, suddenly stopped in his tracks upon hearing the conversation between Yunze and the young woman.
Yun. Ze?
"Luoze." Ling Luochen murmured softly, a memory quietly surfacing in his mind.
It was a young man, with bright white teeth and a face as beautiful as jade, bearing a seven or eight-tenths resemblance to Ling Luochen, especially his willow-leaf eyebrows, which resembled crescent moons, extremely beautiful.
Come to think of it, their eyebrows
and noses were similar, both very high and straight.
"What am I thinking?" Ling Luochen gently shook his head, dispelling the memory from his mind, his eyes returning to their cool clarity, and his figure quickly disappeared into the courtyard.
That evening, the Ling family welcomed Yunze's arrival very warmly.
Ling Luochen's father, the head of the Ling family, was a handsome middle-aged man. He had likely heard some speculations about Yun Ze's identity from his two younger brothers, so he treated Yun Ze very well.
Having eaten human food for the first time since his transmigration, Yun Ze ate his fill, a rare occurrence, and left patting his belly.
Back in the guest room Ling Hanyan had arranged for him, Yun Ze lay on the soft bed, a satisfied smile on his lips.
"Human food is so delicious," he murmured softly.
He had no desire to cultivate; simply staying there allowed his soul power to improve on its own, and Yun Ze found himself somewhat bored.
Knock, knock,
knock—a knock came at the door.
"Come in," Yun Ze replied, and soon the exquisite door was opened.
Seeing the visitor, Yun Ze sat up abruptly, looking at the girl at the door with some surprise. "Sister Luochen, what brings you here?"
Ling Luochen looked at Yun Ze, her delicate lips slightly parted, but she remained silent for a long time.
After a moment, she whispered, "Could you... come to my room for a bit later?"
Yunze, "???"
What did I just hear?
