This Lord is Very Scientific

Chapter 464 - 401: How About Considering John? (Bonus - Asking for Monthly Votes)

The Dark Maiden stood on her mount, looking at Lin Ke.The Dazed Beast looked dazed, and the Dark Maiden also appeared expressionless.

But there was a trace of pain in the Dazed Beast’s eyes, because the Dark Maiden was desperately tugging at its ears!

"You can teach and train, but why in my stomach?" The Dark Maiden looked seriously at Lin Ke and Xiangnai, making both feel awkward.

"It’s not what you think... and we didn’t know it was your stomach." Lin Ke scratched his head, feeling so awkward that his toes could dig out an abyss, a nine hundred and ninety-nine layers type, more than a hundred layers deeper than Gula’s abyss.

"During your two days of training, I was outside fighting, it was exhausting." The Dark Maiden said earnestly, while Lin Ke and Xiangnai stood beside her like reprimanded students.

However...

"Wait, shouldn’t your concern be..." Lin Ke suddenly felt something was off.

This Dark Sister, her focus seems a bit off?

"Focus on what? Are you very troublesome? Do you last long?" The Dark Maiden queried, "But I’ve observed that Luca’s Butterfly Demon and Frell Deep Sea Giant Whale both last longer than you."

"That’s not..." Lin Ke was a bit puzzled by the Dark Maiden’s train of thought.

"...also more troublesome, they make a lot of noise." The Dark Maiden added.

Lin Ke: (ㅍ_ㅍ)

I don’t believe it!

Phooey phooey phooey.

Is this the time to talk about this?

"Aren’t you afraid of Rica being upset?" Lin Ke was getting confused; Rica should be the beloved of all princes and princesses, and the Dark Princess also cares about Rica.

"Why would she be upset?" This time it was the Dark Maiden’s turn to be bewildered, "Why are we talking about Rica? I’m talking about your training in my stomach."

Lin Ke was dumbfounded.

"Her Highness Benadonna Gula." This time, it was Xiangnai who spoke up, "May I ask how we should compensate for your loss?"

Lin Ke could joke around with the Dark Maiden because they were of the same generation; at least Lin Ke and the Dark Maiden were peers.

But for Xiangnai, the Dark Maiden was a powerful deity; as a newly ascended god, Xiangnai was obliged to respect the Dark Maiden.

"Compensation?" The Dark Maiden paused for a moment and then told Xiangnai, "A month’s worth of faith power from ten thousand devout believers, the refined kind."

Xiangnai: "Okay."

A very simple request; not to mention Xiangnai was already a deity, even if she were just a demigod she could manage it, especially since she owned a mid-sized plane.

"I’ll send you back." The Dark Maiden gently waved her scythe, enveloping Lin Ke and Xiangnai in darkness, returning them to Naseng.

...

Inside Lin Ke’s villa.

Rica sat on the sofa, flipping through a book titled "Viscount Colton and His Dominant Butler."

She was joyfully browsing the book, her face flushed red, perhaps from heat or excitement.

When Lin Ke and Xiangnai appeared in the living room, brought by the Dark Maiden, Rica was startled.

She swiftly placed the book into her Space Ring, stood up with a flushed face, and looked at Lin Ke and the others, her eyes evasive, "Ahem, you’re back?"

But soon she noticed something peculiar about Lin Ke and the other three’s demeanor.

There’s something fishy...

Rica decided to take the initiative and loudly said, "What’s going on? What’s happening?!"

Lin Ke: ?

He was too familiar with Rica.

Rica this... guilty much?

Guilty about what?

Lin Ke was completely bewildered.

But Xiangnai wasn’t as familiar with Rica, so she started to panic, "I... I became a god... a lot of water... charging... selling fruit... exploring truth... I..."

Xiangnai was in such a panic that she didn’t even know what she was saying.

Lin Ke took a deep breath, looked at the Dark Maiden, and hinted for her to leave; he needed to confess.

"Why are you looking at me?" The Dark Maiden asked, puzzled.

"Uh, well, could you kindly leave for a moment, thank you, I need to discuss family matters." Lin Ke indicated that he could tolerate the Dark Maiden’s unusual thinking.

"Oh." The Dark Maiden immediately walked outside, but stopped at the villa’s entrance.

Lin Ke: ...

Whether a top-level deity stands within five hundred meters or five centimeters, does it make any difference?!

Seeing Lin Ke was about to speak, Rica was already overwhelmed by Xiangnai’s actions, her mind in disarray.

"Hey Lin Ke! What’s Xiangnai sister trying to say?! Has she been hit by some kind of legendary curse?" Rica asked helplessly, "Don’t mind the Dark Maiden, she’s just a peeping tom, often hiding in the dark to spy. If you keep talking, she might go invisible, and you won’t even be able to see her."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ke ignored the Dark Maiden and solemnly approached Rica, held her shoulders, and gazed directly into her eyes.

Beside them, Xiangnai watched with darkened expression, her divine power showing signs of sourness.

Meanwhile, outside the door, the Dark Maiden widened her eyes at the door, seemingly seeing through it, and summoned her mount, the Dazed Beast, to watch with her.

"Ha, ha, ha?" The Dazed Beast lightly grunted at the Dark Maiden, as if speaking.

"Yes, haven’t seen it in a long time." The Dark Maiden nodded.

"Ha, ha?"

"Right, I didn’t absorb it, I gave all of it to them in my stomach to absorb."

"Ha, ha."

"Otherwise, what? Would I absorb the poison gas and train them?"

"Ha..."

"No matter, I’ll slowly grind away the remaining poison gas."

"Ha, ha, ha."

"Oh, stop asking! If you’re not watching, then leave!"

"Ha."

...

The Dark Maiden quietly conversed with her mount; their voices were isolated by the barrier she raised, ensuring they didn’t reach outside.

However, the Dark Maiden’s cheeks carried an imperceptible flush, and her mind flashed with scenes of Lin Ke and Xiangnai exploring biological truths in her stomach.

Thinking of Lin Ke’s valiant charge with a spear on her mount, her face turned even redder, "Annoying, his mount is a Financial Goddess, mine is a hippo." She promptly recalled her mount.

At this point, Lin Ke, looking into Rica’s eyes, was about to speak, "Rica, I love you, I..."

"You and Xiangnai, hmm hmm?" Rica smacked her lips.

Lin Ke was startled and immediately realized Rica had figured it out.

He quickly said, "Yes, but there is a reason for it..."

"Hooray, you finally said it. By the way, would you consider trying a guy? I think John is pretty good..." Rica’s eyes suddenly filled with curiosity.

"...I know, that’s not an excuse, but hear me out, I swear, I declare, I guarantee, I..." Lin Ke kept narrating, and suddenly paused.

"You... you you you..." Lin Ke stared wide-eyed at Rica.

In Rica’s green eyes, there wasn’t a hint of blame or sadness, instead pure innocence and a smile.

"Oh my, I was always worried my husband would be a difficult Needle Tree-man, only teaching once every five hundred years, thankfully..." Rica patted Lin Ke’s shoulder:

"Since you’re normal, I can relax, of course, if there’s only one regret... So, have you really not considered John?"
