Why did you come out from my fathers room? Lin Chuhan was startled.
I went to wish him a happy new year. Why? I cant do that? asked Wang Teng.
Really? My father... Lin Chuhan was confused. She knew her fathers condition. He never came out of his room, much less converse and interact with other people.
Mother Lin and Lin Chuxia were looking at Wang Teng with a puzzled expression too.
Wang Teng stopped teasing them and told them what had happened just now.
Mother Lins gaze turned gentle instantly. That old fellow is still concerned about his daughter.
She had been carrying the burden of her family all these years. It would be a lie to say that she wasnt bitter.
But now, her eldest daughter had entered a top university and her youngest daughters mysterious illness was cured. She would be able to live like a normal person in the future. There was also no need for her to splurge on her medical bills, so most of her worries were gone.
Even if Father Lin couldnt recover, she could hold up this family on her own.
My father... Its difficult for him too, Lin Chuhan said.
Thats right. Mom, Dad doesnt feel good either. Dont blame him. Lin Chuxia agreed.
Alright, alright. Im too lazy to blame him when I have you all around me, Mother Lin said.
Actually, with the current medical technology, its not difficult to get a prosthetic limb. He can still live like a normal person. In the future, it might be possible for him to even recover his legs, Wang Teng said.
Thats right. Anything is possible in this era. Lin Chuhan consoled her mother, Once I start earning money, we can think of ways to treat Dad.
Me too. When I earn more money in the future, Ill find a cure for Dads legs. Then, Ill let you all travel the world, Lin Chuxia spoke up.
Your thoughts matter the most. Mother Lin was happy that her daughters were sensible. But she still sighed and said, However, its hard for your dad to accept his fate. If he can overcome his own mental barrier, he will be able to live properly, with or without legs.
Wang Teng nodded. It was a tremendous blow for a martial warrior to lose his legs and Force nucleus. It was understandable why Father Lin was unable to overcome the psychological trauma.
Father Lins generation was the first batch of martial warriors. Earth had just changed, so you could imagine how hard it was for them to become martial warriors. Naturally, they enjoyed a high status in society. Falling from the throne would be hard to accept for someone of their stature.
They stopped talking about Father Lin. Mother Lin pulled Wang Teng and said, I dont know how to thank you for helping Chuxia to recover. Let me cook for you in the evening. You must stay.
Wang Teng wanted to reject her, but Lin Chuhan said, Stay for dinner. My mom wont be able to sleep if she doesnt do something.
Brother-in-law, come, let me show you the result of my gun skill. Lin Chuxia pulled Wang Teng into her room.
After regaining her health, she became more outspoken. She didnt have to worry about interacting with other people anymore. In the past, when her sister and mom wanted to get close to her, they had to be very careful. Although they could touch her, they couldnt do it freely like now.
All of these things had affected their lifestyles. However, they didnt have to worry anymore.
Ill help Mom with dinner. Go and have some fun yourselves. Lin Chuhan accompanied Mother Lin down to buy groceries and make dinner.
Wang Teng touched his nose. He saw Lin Chuxia taking out a toy gun from her drawer.
Lin Chuxia took the toy gun and casually fired a few shots out of the window.
Martial warriors had powerful eyesight. Wang Teng saw the bullets changing directions in mid-air before hitting a little rat that just peeked out from the drain.
All the bullets hit the rat.
The little rat was stunned. It just came up from the drain and got hit by bullets from the sky.
Of course, these were plastic bullets, so the damage was minimal. The little rat shrieked in pain before scurrying back down the drain.
Lin Chuxia chucked when she saw her work of art.
Cheeky! Wang Teng laughed as he tapped her forehead.
What do you think? Ive improved compared to the last time, right? Lin Chuxia smiled proudly.
Not bad. You can cultivate Force in the future. With rune guns, your shots will be much more powerful, Wang Teng replied.
Most martial disciples trained their bodies first before cultivating Force and becoming martial warriors. However, Lin Chuxia was different. She had a special physique, so she was able to cultivate Force directly. Actually, she was almost at the 2-star soldier level already.
Rune bullets and rune guns must be expensive, Lin Chuxia said.
When you reach the 3-star soldier level, Ill gift you a rune gun, Wang Teng replied.
Really? Lin Chuxia was shocked. She had been learning gun skills, so she specially went to check the prices of rune guns. They were all expensive. A 1-star rune gun was priced at a few million. Her family couldnt save that much money in ten years.
This is nothing for high-rank martial warriors, Wang Teng smiled and said.
Ill have to become a high-rank martial warrior too. Although Dad was a martial warrior, there wasnt much money left for the family because he needed to cultivate. Its not easy for martial warriors to earn money, Lin Chuxia lamented.
Wang Teng was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, he had to admit that Lin Chuxia was right. Not all martial warriors were as wealthy as him.
Most martial warriors could earn money faster than ordinary people, but they needed a large number of resources to cultivate. Hence, they spent faster than they earned. Sometimes, they couldnt even buy a good weapon.
Dont worry. Other people might not be able to afford it, but that doesnt mean I cant. Since I said Ill gift you a gun, then I will gift you a gun. I promise. Wang Teng assured her.
Your words, not mine. I wont go easy on you. Lin Chuxia giggled.
Wang Teng smiled and nodded. Actually, he had many weapons he didnt need in his space ring. He wouldnt be using them, and selling them wasnt worth it either. He would rather give it to his friends.
Haha, Ill work hard then. Lin Chuxia smiled.
All the best. However, youre young, and you didnt go to school in the past, so youre lagging in your studies. The most important thing now is to catch up with your studies before considering whether you should enter university in advance to cultivate, Wang Teng said.
Lin Chuxia placed her hand on her chin and looked at Wang Teng as he spoke. She didnt reply to him. She just nodded.
However, I suggest that you shouldnt let others know about your special physique and the fact that youre already a martial warrior. You can reveal it slowly once you get into a university. At that time, the leaders of your institution will naturally pay attention to you. They will take special care of a rare talent like you. Wang Teng noticed Lin Chuxias reaction, but he didnt think much. He continued speaking.
Why didnt they pay attention to me in the past? Lin Chuxia frowned and asked.
Wang Teng hesitated before persuading her earnestly, A person will only be recognized after they have displayed their worth. Whats more, you might be the first poison-element martial warrior on Earth. Before they know how powerful poison-element martial warriors can be, they might not give you special attention. This is the reality of life. You will have to forge a path yourself. When youre strong, your family will be able to live better.
He knew that Lin Chuxia felt bitter. Anyone would feel that way.
But just like what he said, the world would continue spinning even if someone died. There was no unconditional love. Without Lin Chuhan, he wouldnt know about Lin Chuxias condition and he wouldnt solve it for her.
Lin Chuxia was in deep thought. After some time, her frown disappeared, and she nodded firmly. I understand. Ill become stronger and take control of my own life. I wont let anyone control me. Also, if anyone dares to bully my family in the future, Ill show them what I can do.
Wang Teng smiled when he saw her fierce expression.
He realized that Lin Chuxia was more mature than he thought. She was able to grasp things easily. She wouldnt get fooled into risking her life for others just because they did her a small favor. She wasnt a happy-go-lucky person.
The martial warriors world was full of peril. Wang Teng had seen many deaths, so he didnt wish Lin Chuxia to enter this world without careful consideration. He didnt want her to get hurt in the future.
I fooledI mean, I educated her successfully!
Near 6 pm, Mother Lin and Lin Chuhan finished cooking dinner for everyone. They called Wang Teng down to eat.
Mother Lin had put in much effort to thank Wang Teng. The table was filled with an array of dishes. Although they werent expensive, they looked sumptuous and fragrant.
This was the first time Lin Chuxia could sit with her family and eat dinner together. Happiness shimmered in her eyes. They could tell that she was elated.
Mother Lin and Lin Chuhan were also joyful. Their only regret was Father Lin.
Mother Lin kept putting food on Wang Tengs and Lin Chuxias plates. The smile on her face never dropped.
This sweet and sour lychee meatball is made by Lin Chuhan. Try it, Mother Lin said as she took some food for Wang Teng.
Wang Teng glanced at Lin Chuhan and smiled.
Lin Chuhan avoided his gaze shyly, but she would still steal a few peeks. She felt a little nervous.
Wang Teng took the lychee meatball first and tried it. His eyes lit up. Delicious!
This lychee meatball was cooked really well. It was tender and crisp, sweet and sour, perfectly suiting his palate.
Lin Chuhan heaved a sigh of relief. Mother Lin chuckled secretly when she noticed her reaction.
There was nothing to say about Lin Chuhan and Mother Lins cooking skills. Wang Teng never put down his chopsticks. Peals of laughter continuously rang out during the meal. Everyone had a great time at the dinner table.
After dinner, Wang Teng stayed a while longer. He told Lin Chuxia what she needed to take note of during her cultivation. Then, he left the house.. Lin Chuhan sent him off.
