Chapter 318: 197. Is Bai Xue an Alien?

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

The winter vacation at Shanhai University was nearing its end, and a new semester would begin tomorrow.

During the past half month, Lin Zichen spent most of his time at home or in his research institution, practicing the Blood Tempering Technique with Shen Qinghan morning, noon, and night.

During this period, Yuan Dongzhi and Liu Chuanwu, the divorced couple, provided a lot of resources that replenish Qi-Blood for Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, who were in the heat of their romance, to help them practice the Blood Tempering Technique.

Liu Chuanwu was so poor he could hardly make ends meet, and could only present some Revitalization Pills at most.

Yuan Dongzhi was different, though.

With the powerful Nanjiang Yuan Family behind her, and her extensive wealth, she had a house full of rich supplements.

She gave them all, things like hundred-year blood ginseng, six-flavor rehmannia fruit, blood-sipping devil flower, and various other precious exotic flowers and fruits, stuffing them into the arms of Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan as if money were no object.

To the unknowing observer, the cool and detached cheongsam-clad beauty would seem like the biological mother of these two.

With so many resources boosting their efforts…

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan greatly improved the efficiency of their body refining and managed to break through just before the start of the semester.

The former achieved great accomplishment in fourth-stage body refining, his Qi-Blood inside becoming even more vigorous, comparable to a High-Level Third Rank expert.

The latter reached body refining completion after the second stage, her Biological Level evolving from the peak of ordinary Sixth Order to ordinary Eighth Order, jumping two levels at once.

…

On the evening before the start of the semester.

At 7:45 PM.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan walked leisurely along the campus path, heading towards President Yuan Dongzhi’s office in the administration building.

Since Shen Qinghan’s Biological Level had evolved to ordinary Eighth Order and her mental strength had also significantly increased, she could attempt to enslave the genetic material of a third Water Attribute Exotic Beast.

For this reason, Yuan Dongzhi had specifically prepared for her an extremely precious Water Butterfly genetic reagent.

The Water Butterfly is an Exotic Beast that lives in water.

It’s not actually a butterfly, but it resembles one in appearance, hence the name Water Butterfly.

This Exotic Beast is known for its mental strength, far surpassing that of other creatures of the same rank.

Moreover, it can also deploy Illusion Techniques.

It is an exceedingly rare psychic Water Attribute Exotic Beast.

Even rarer than the gene of the Azure Jellyfish King.

Even for a powerful family like the Nanjiang Yuan Family, there were only a few Water Butterfly gene reagents in stock.

Apart from its rarity, the difficulty of fusing with the Water Butterfly gene was also high.

So high that there were only a few people on Earth who met the fusion criteria.

Even a powerhouse like Yuan Dongzhi was not qualified to fuse with the Water Butterfly gene.

Yuan Dongzhi believed that Shen Qinghan’s constitution was so special that she could definitely enslave the gene of the Water Butterfly, so she had prepared the genetic reagent especially for her.

“Xiao Chen, my body refining quality is so poor. It’s already the second-stage body refining completion, yet my Biological Level is only ordinary Eighth Order. Sister Yan also achieved the body refining completion after the second stage, but she can already contend with Advanced First Rank experts,” Shen Qinghan said with a slight frown, feeling somewhat distressed as she confided to Lin Zichen beside her.

As they walked, Lin Zichen responded, “Sister Yan practiced the Blood Tempering Technique for a full ten years, and only after great hardships did she reach the second-stage body refining completion.”

“As for you, you’ve practiced for less than half a year and already reached it.”

“If you still envy Sister Yan, and if she heard you, she would probably faint on her yoga mat.”

“…”

Shen Qinghan: “Sister Yan wouldn’t be angry. She would just be happy for me and praise me for being amazing.”

Lin Zichen: “Sister Yan might praise you on the surface, but she’d curse you in her heart.”

Shen Qinghan: “Sister Yan isn’t like that.”

Lin Zichen: “Unless Sister Yan isn’t human, she’d definitely curse you.”

Shen Qinghan: “You judge others by your own standard of pettiness!”

“…”

The two of them bickered back and forth in this way, and before long, they arrived at the door of the president’s office.

Lin Zichen raised his hand to knock and said, “Principal Yuan, we’re here.”

“Come in,” came the cool voice from inside the office.

Lin Zichen pushed the door open and entered, with Shen Qinghan obediently following behind him.

At that moment, Yuan Dongzhi was reclining in her office chair with her eyes closed, resting.

Seeing the two enter, she didn’t open her long, narrow phoenix eyes but simply said indifferently to Shen Qinghan, “Go drink some water. After you’re done, lie down on the bed, and I’ll inject you with the Water Butterfly gene.”

“Okay, I’ll be troubling Master later,” Shen Qinghan said, then went over to the tea table to drink water.

She drank one cup after another.

Once she could drink no more, she would be ready for the injection of the ghost squid king gene, a Water Attribute gene.

When fusing with the gene of a Water Attribute Exotic Beast, the more water one has in the body, the easier the fusion will be.

Even though Shen Qinghan didn’t need to fuse but enslave, drinking water wouldn’t do any harm.

There was no reason not to drink if it was free, and maybe having more water in her body might help with enslaving the beast gene.

“Master, I’m full,” Shen Qinghan, touching her bloated belly, said with a bit of discomfort.

Yuan Dongzhi responded, “If you’re full, come up and lie down.”

“Okay,” Shen Qinghan replied and obediently lay down on the bed.

Yuan Dongzhi wasted no time, she stretched out her hand to lift Shen Qinghan’s shirt, took a cotton swab doused with alcohol, and gently wiped it over her chest, preparing for the injection by disinfecting the area.

As she wiped, Yuan Dongzhi noticed Shen Qinghan’s chest seemed to be a lot fuller than before and couldn’t help but express her surprise, “How has it only been a while, and your chest has already grown a size bigger?”

“Not really…” Shen Qinghan, her face flushed with a hint of red, felt very embarrassed.

Seeing the embarrassment on her little apprentice’s face, Yuan Dongzhi also smiled and said, “You’re a grown girl who’s been cohabiting with her fiancé for half a year, how can you still be so easily embarrassed?”
