“I absolutely understand.”
Meng Chao said, “And I completely support you.”
“I knew you would understand and support me. That makes things easier!”
Lu Siya happily said, “You see, in my situation, it’s too difficult for me to find a suitable marriage partner. I have my own requirements too!
“My ideal marriage partner should have a simple family background. He shouldn’t be like those from the nine great families, who have complicated interests behind their backs. They would ask me to waste a lot of my time and energy on meaningless court battles.
“Nevertheless, I hope that my marriage partner can have a certain capability at the same time and play the role of a ‘good wife’ to help me instead of dragging me down.
“Based on this foundation, both parties will be smart people who can communicate calmly and not seek common interests.. At the very least, they can speak freely. That would be even better.
“Finally, and most importantly, my marriage partner must have a strong combat ability. This is because a strong combat ability represents outstanding genes. Only genes that are outstanding enough are qualified to combine with my genes and give birth to a new generation that is even stronger to inherit everything I have.
“The problem is that among the third generation of the nine great families, there are no true powerhouses. They are all a bunch of worthless trash. If I get serious, they won’t be able to even last three minutes. Tell me, how can I allow such trash genes to contaminate my excellent genes?”
Meng Chao was silent for a long time. He could only squeeze out one word, “Yeah.”
“It’s really hard to find such a candidate!”
Lu Siya sighed and focused her gaze on Meng Chao’s face again. She smiled and said, “Meng Chao, you said just now that we’re best friends. No matter what I do, you’ll definitely support me, right?”
“No, Sister Ya. My exact words were ‘completely support.’
“There was no ‘no matter what you do’ in front of it,” said Meng Chao.
“Don’t be impatient. Let me finish. Just now, I only mentioned the benefits for me. Now, here are your benefits.”
Lu Siya said, “You should have noticed that since our victory in the Monster War, Dragon City has gradually sailed into a mysterious and unpredictable new waters. There are countless invisible whirlpools and reefs here. If we are not careful, we will all be defeated.
“As for you, while your strength has soared, you have also been pushed to the forefront.
“In the past, your strength was low, and Superstar Resource was only one of countless small and medium-sized enterprises. Many problems could be solved with a smile.
“However, the speed of your improvement and the expansion of Superstar Resource have been too fast. They’re so fast that many people feel threatened.
“At this moment, you need to further integrate all your resources at hand and tie yourself more closely with the stakeholders. Only after you complete your transformation and upgrade from strength to mentality to status can you move forward quickly and steadily toward the future that you hope to see.
“Yes. Right now, we are, of course, best friends. We are comrades who have shared life and death together. We are training partners whose magnetic fields are similar. But based on this relationship alone, do you believe me when I say that I am willing to betray the Lu family, Sky Pillar Corporation, as well as the nine mega corporations, and stand on your side wholeheartedly?”
Meng Chao opened his mouth…
But he was rendered speechless.
“If you don’t believe me, I don’t believe you either.”
Lu Siya said, “By the same logic, everybody knows that we are the best partners. But I went to talk to Long Feijun of the Red Dragon Army about a collaboration based on this relationship alone. Do you think that he would believe me, someone who was born in the nine n.o.ble families? You must be kidding me!
“Do you understand now? In order to expand and strengthen our respective businesses, provide each other with enough material foundation to break into the Deity Realm, and trust each other 100% for protection, this deal is our best choice.
“Also, the bloodline inheritance is not a problem for me alone. For a powerhouse like you who is not even 30 years old and already qualified to reach Deity Realm, your genes are a hundred times better than those guys from the nine great families who rely on astronomical amounts of resources to build themselves up. You are destined to establish your own family. Don’t you consider the issue of genetic optimization at all?
“Since we are the best partners, and we are both facing the problem of integrating resources and inheriting bloodlines, as the saying goes, ‘it’s better to be more experienced than to be less experienced.’ Isn’t it great if we continue to work together happily for the rest of our lives?”
Meng Chao took a deep breath and said with mixed feelings, “Sister Ya, is this the conclusion you came to after weighing the pros and cons as well as a.n.a.lyzing the costs and benefits?”
“You’re a smart person. I don’t want to lie to you, and I can’t lie to you either. Why don’t you just be straight with me? It’s fine if you can do it, but it’s fine if you can’t either. Just pretend that I didn’t say anything. If the deal doesn’t work out, it won’t affect our friendship.”
Lu Siya said, “I know that you’re a person who values relationships. You might not like such a deal. If you had a girl who you liked, I would never propose such a deal to humiliate myself. With or without this deal, we’re all friends. There’s no need to push my luck and force you into an enemy.
“However, through my observation, I found that you don’t seem to be interested in women.
“Since you don’t like women, I won’t like men anymore. Aren’t we a match made in Heaven?”
“Wait a minute!”
Meng Chao was shocked. “Who told you that I didn’t like women?”
“It’s meaningless for you to be so stubborn.”
Lu Siya sighed and said, “Meng Chao, don’t forget that I am a ‘sensitive person.’ Do you know what is the most unbearable thing for a naturally sensitive person, especially a sensitive female, in her daily life?”
Meng Chao was at a loss.
He did not know what this subject had to do with clairvoyants.
“Yes, since I was a child, I’ve been ten times more sensitive than an ordinary person. I can smell extremely strong poisonous, stinky, and fishy smells, hear all kinds of deafening noises, feel the rough bedsheets and blankets, and sc.r.a.pe my body with all my might. But all of that can be endured through gritted teeth.”
Lu Siya said, “What I can’t stand the most is my ability to observe people’s micro-expressions. I can hear their breathing and heartbeat. I can sense the faintest changes. I can sense the rhythm of their organs and the secretion of their hormones. Finally, through the integration of their micro-expressions and micro-changes, I can read the voices in their hearts.
“I can… see through people’s hearts at a glance!
“Let me tell you, this isn’t a talent at all, but a terrifying curse.
“Can you imagine how a three-year-old child felt when she saw her smiling uncle and aunt walking toward her with a toy in their hands, yet their hearts were filled with venom. They would be filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred toward me for inheriting my grandfather’s talent as a Spirit Sensor. They would wish for my brain to explode and for me to die on the spot.
“Can you imagine how every time my father put on a kind and loving look and seemed to be playing with me wholeheartedly, but I could tell that his mind was full of schemes, and his thoughts were not focused on me at all?
“It got even worse once I entered p.u.b.erty and began to develop.
“As you can see, I have developed very well.”
Lu Siya showed Meng Chao her strong thighs and her voluptuous curves.
Meng Chao had to admit that although everyone had their own preferences, Sister Ya’s facial features were very three-dimensional, aggressive, and suitable for heavy makeup. Not everyone liked her.
However, her figure was indeed… well-developed by the standards of Earthlings.
Of course, compared with the ice giants and other alien races that Meng Chao had met in his previous life, she was nothing.
Therefore, Meng Chao was still able to hold back.
“Many girls are hara.s.sed by the opposite s.e.x when they enter p.u.b.erty and begin to develop.”
The corner of Lu Siya’s eyes twitched. She gnashed her teeth and said, “However, the hara.s.sment I suffer is ten times more serious than that of any other girl.
“Because, as a ‘sensitive’ person, I can not only see the men’s greedy eyes, hear their dirty breathing, and endure their filthy language, but I can also sense the rising temperature in some parts of their bodies, the accelerated acc.u.mulation of their blood, the crazy secretion of their hormones, and all kinds of disgusting physiological changes.
“It would be fine if he were just a vulgar street urchin.
“Unfortunately, even the teachers and seniors whom I have always respected, the heroes who once risked everything to protect Dragon City, would experience subtle changes when they see me, more or less. So, I could see through the filth in the deepest part of their hearts at a glance.
“It’s a terrible feeling. You couldn’t possibly understand it. It made me instinctively disgusted and defensive whenever I saw men. I felt like vomiting when I smell the scent of testosterone. However, my special body made it impossible for me to block out the stench of those pigs. It kept drilling into my nose!
“I used to think that all the men in the world were the most disgusting creatures. Even my father, who raised dozens of women in the name of ‘continuing civilization,’ was the same.
“That was until I met Lin Chuan.
“Do you know why I had a good impression of Lin Chuan? Because he did not have a strong, disgusting reaction toward me, which was very rare!
“It made me feel that his heart was very clean and that he was a trustworthy gentleman.
“Now that I think about it, was that considered liking him? I don’t know.
“But at that time, his side was indeed the only place where I could breathe fresh air in this stinking pig pen. His existence allowed me to have the last bit of confidence in men.
“Who knew that, in the end, I realized that Lin Chuan was not a gentleman who would sit still and do nothing. He had low self-esteem. He was so low that not only did he not dare to like me, he did not even dare to like any girl. Instead, he ran into the depths of the wilderness and got mixed up with a monster.”
“This…”
Meng Chao really wanted to defend Lin Chuan and White Spirit.
However, looking at Lu Siya’s gradually hysterical appearance, he felt that she had not been in the right mood recently.
It was probably a side effect of the mental attack on her brain due to the rapid upgrade.
It was better for him not to trigger her.
