BXBX NOVEL Chapter 126: 126: Sister-in-Law is a Bit Unhappy
The change was mainly due to the emergence of the Ultra-Burning Corps.
If only humans were to enjoy the resources of the Realm King Planet, those major clans would not have allowed any outsiders to intervene.
But now, in addition to humans, the Ultra-Burning Corps were also scouring the Realm King Planet for resources, forcing the major clans to change their strategies.
By introducing Mutators from other families, they not only collected a portion of the entrance fees but also could stand against the Ultra-Burning Corps, killing two birds with one stone.
There were also quite a few lone Mutators who joined, some for the mutated resources of the Realm King Planet, others aimed at the Ultra-Burning Corps, and the rest were there for the rewards of the Realm King Tower.
Lin Shen was also calculating his next visit to the Realm King Planet, considering how he would enter it.
The grassy slopes, though relatively safe, had Base Variant Creatures of too low a level, causing Lin Shen’s Base Mutation rate to grow very slowly.
If he were to go again, Lin Shen wanted to randomize his location once more but was afraid of ending up somewhere too dangerous.
As he hesitated, someone at home relayed a message that a man claiming to be Xu Tiange was looking for him and said that he was his good brother.
“What’s he doing here?” Lin Shen was surprised, not expecting Xu Tiange to come looking for him.
Lin Shen went to the reception hall and sure enough, saw Xu Tiange waiting for him.
“Shen, I’ve finally found you. I missed you to death,” Xu Tiange said as he grasped Lin Shen’s hand tightly, his eyes brimming with emotion as if he had seen a family member.
“Is the beast tide at God’s Love Base resolved? Why did you come here?” Lin Shen managed to withdraw his hand, asking with some confusion.
“After those major families’ people arrived, they cleared the Mushroom Beast several times. Now there are significantly fewer Mushroom Beasts, and it’s become quite difficult to see them outside of Blue Tree Sea.”
Xu Tiange immediately continued, “That’s not the point, Shen. I’ve come to find you because there is another important matter.”
“What is it?” Lin Shen assumed Xu Tiange wanted to take him to the Realm King Planet.
“Shen, do you know Goddess Consort Bai?” The words that came out of Xu Tiange’s mouth, however, somewhat took Lin Shen by surprise.
“I’ve met her a few times. What about her?” Lin Shen grew even more puzzled. How had Xu Tiange become involved with Goddess Consort Bai?
With some hesitation, Xu Tiange said, “There’s nothing wrong with her, it’s just that your sister-in-law might be a little upset.”
“What sister-in-law? What are you even talking about?” Lin Shen was full of question marks, failing to grasp why Goddess Consort Bai had suddenly become his sister-in-law.
“I mean Ye Yuzhen from the Ye Family, my sister-in-law,” Xu Tiange clarified. “Shen, you really weren’t careful this time.”
“If you can’t make sense, then do me a favor and head back,” Lin Shen felt utterly bewildered by him.
“Although Goddess Consort Bai is beautiful, a rare beauty in this world, our sister-in-law is no less stunning. Shen, if you did have a fling, you should’ve kept it under wraps. Being so blatant about it, it’s no wonder the sister-in-law is upset,” Xu Tiange’s tale became increasingly nonsensical.
“How did you come to know about my acquaintance with Bai Shenfei?” Lin Shen asked with a puzzled face as he looked at Xu Tiange.
Not many people knew Lin Shen was acquainted with Bai Shenfei. Lin Shen suddenly became worried—had Bai Shenfei said something about him?
“Not just me, now there’s no one in Yashen Base who doesn’t know. Even the major families stationed at Yashen Base are aware,” Xu Tiange said with gleaming eyes, rather excitedly, “Although this matter really isn’t good for your sister-in-law, I have to say, Brother Shen, you’re truly awesome. You’ve managed to win over a woman like Bai Shenfei. It even adds prestige to my face…”
Lin Shen listened for a while before he finally understood what was happening.
Bai Shenfei hadn’t said anything, but the situation might be even worse.
Bai Shenfei had gone to Jinshui Lake to meet with the people from Sea Corn Base, and it was there that she encountered Ouyang Juemiao, who had come with Ouyang Yudu on a visit.
While they were talking, Ouyang Yudu invited Bai Shenfei to go to the Realm King Planet together, but she rejected the offer.
This rejection took everyone from God’s Love Base’s Ouyang Family and Sea Corn Base by surprise, as there was already a tacit understanding: let the two individuals who had cultivated Gift Theory interact more. If there were no major disagreements, the two would likely end up together in the future.
Before this, Bai Shenfei had also tacitly accepted this arrangement, the only step left was for her to meet and get to know Ouyang Yudu.
Going to the Realm King Planet to fight side by side was naturally the best way to get to know each other, and no one, including Ouyang Yudu, had expected Bai Shenfei to refuse.
In the eyes of all those in the know, Bai Shenfei and Ouyang Yudu were a match made in heaven, indispensable to one another; otherwise, they might have a difficult time making any further progress in their lives and could only stop at Base Mutation.
Ouyang Yudu was gracious enough not to make things difficult for Bai Shenfei, but Ouyang Juemiao was not pleased—demanding an explanation from this visit’s person in charge, Xun Jian, as to why an agreement that had been tacitly understood suddenly fell through.
Xun Jian had no idea why it happened and thought to delay before asking Bai Shenfei privately.
But to everyone’s surprise, Bai Shenfei straightforwardly mentioned that apart from Ouyang Yudu, she had another option to consider, hence she needed time to think.
Curious, Ouyang Yudu asked Bai Shenfei who the other option was, and Bai Shenfei directly named Lin Shen.
Initially, people didn’t react to who Lin Shen was until someone mentioned the playboy title, prompting a collective realization.
Then everything exploded. Now, everyone in Yashen Base and the families stationed around Jinshui Lake knew about the rivalry between the playboy and Ouyang Yudu for Bai Shenfei.
After hearing about the incident, Xu Tiange hurriedly rushed to Dark Bird Base to deliver the news.
Lin Shen was completely baffled now, “How could this happen? Didn’t I tell Bai Shenfei that I can’t cultivate Gift Theory? How could she say that? How could I possibly be her backup option? I can’t cultivate Gift Theory at all!”
“Brother Shen, I feel honored, but you must be careful. I’ve heard that many young people from major families find it hard to accept the fact that Bai Shenfei has listed you as an option. Especially that Ouyang Yudu—it wouldn’t be surprising if he comes to trouble you. Of course, I’m not saying you’re inferior to Ouyang Yudu, but he really is a bit peculiar and has some skill, so it’s better to be cautious,” Xu Tiange said cautiously.
“I understand, thank you for coming here to tell me about this,” Lin Shen responded, feeling as though troubles had descended from the heavens without him doing anything.
“We’re brothers; why speak such courtesies?” Xu Tiange quickly waved his hand.
As the two were chatting, a Lin Family guard came over to say someone was looking for Lin Shen.
Lin Shen and Xu Tiange exchanged glances, both thinking, “Could it be Ouyang Yudu who has come?”
