Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution - Chapter 350
Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Tian Xun’s Reward
An 117 knew that Ximen Swordsman had already lost, and continuing the fight would only damage his faith.
Rather than waiting for Ximen Swordsman to be defeated, it was better to simply admit defeat and preserve his belief.
The intense battle that lasted for over forty hours finally ended with Lin Shen’s victory.
“This is our bet.” An 117 flicked something towards Tian Xun.
After catching it, Tian Xun put it away and said with a smile, “The An family truly keeps their word.”
An 117 said nothing more, turned his head to Lin Shen, and said, “Lin Shen, your performance today was truly astonishing. If you’re interested, come have tea at my place, I’ll treat you as an honored guest.”
“Asking for someone in my presence, aren’t you being a bit too bold?” Tian Xin said with a smile.
“Haha, it’s just pure admiration, of course, if Lin Shen is willing to come over, I would be more than happy to welcome him.” An 117 laughed loudly as he said goodbye and left.
Ximen Swordsman deeply looked at Lin Shen as he followed An 117 out.
He had not thought he couldn’t lose, nor was he arrogant enough to believe he was invincible at his level, but he hadn’t expected to lose like this.
Chi Ba and Chi Xiong also glanced at Lin Shen as they left, resolving in their hearts that if they ever fought this guy again, they absolutely could not engage in a long battle with him, as he was a monster who seemed never to tire.
However, they had forgotten that Lin Shen’s Surfing Fist was equally terrifying when unleashed.
It was only because they were up against a freak like Ximen Swordsman that they had to resort to wearing him down.
After returning to Paradise Island, Tian Xun called Lin Shen into his study.
“Lin Shen, you truly manage to surprise me every time. Such endurance in battle is a strong natural talent in itself,” Tian Xun praised.
“It’s just a bit of endurance, nothing special, not worthy of such praise,” Lin Shen said modestly.
“Come on, no need to be modest in front of me,” Tian Xun laughed. “This time, you not only helped me secure the development rights for that area but also won something important for me. How should I thank you?”
“If you really want to thank me, then fulfill the promise you made to me tonight,” Lin Shen quickly said.
Tian Xun’s face blushed, and she glanced at him, saying, “That’s just a normal thing between lovers, how could it be considered a reward? What do you take me for?”
“Of course, as a lover,” Lin Shen answered sincerely, unflustered.
“You…” Tian Xun laughed. “You don’t know what it is that you helped me win back. I’m so pleased, I must thank you.”
“Is it that thing An 117 gave you? What is it?” Lin Shen asked curiously.
Tian Xun took the item from her pocket and placed it on the desk; Lin Shen closely inspected it and realized it was a triangular red crystal.
Before Lin Shen could examine the red crystal in detail, Tian Xun took out another identical piece and placed it on the desk.
“We three discovered an incredible mausoleum in the Giant God Mausoleum and suspect the person buried might be the Ancient Realm King who disappeared back then. This is the key to open the mausoleum. There should theoretically be seven pieces. We each obtained one, and the rest were stolen by Ye Ya,” Tian Xun explained the origin of these items.
Lin Shen was slightly shocked. He had always thought that the resting place of the Ancient Realm King should be on Realm King Planet, so why did Tian Xun say there might be a mausoleum of the Ancient Realm King here?
But on reflection, it seemed he hadn’t seen any mausoleum of the Ancient Realm King on Realm King Planet, having only visited an underground space and seen The Three Treasure Chests.
And it was still unconfirmed whether The Three Treasure Chests were truly left by the Ancient Realm King.
Sensing Lin Shen’s thoughts, Tian Xun continued, “The Realm King Planet you and Tian Xin visited might relate to the Ancient Realm King, yet it likely only contains The Three Treasure Chests left by him. The true self of the Ancient Realm King might not have been buried there. As for this mausoleum, it’s still just a suspicion whether it’s the resting place of the Ancient Realm King. We need all pieces of the key to enter and find out. And I suspect that within this mausoleum, there might be a high-level Base Mutation Land.”
Tian Xun paused, then said, “You have a key to a treasure chest. If you wish, you can cooperate with Tian Xin and share the benefits of the chest evenly. If he gains benefits and doesn’t share with you, I will make sure he doesn’t succeed.”
Lin Shen directly placed the treasure chest key he had taken from Tian Xin in front of Tian Xun, with a pained expression, “Since you, my dear Tian Xun, have asked, give it to him. There’s no need to share it with me.”
Tian Xun appeared overjoyed, rose from her seat, walked behind Lin Shen, and wrapped her arms around him from behind, her cheek against Lin Shen’s cheek, “My dear, you’ve done so much for me, and helped me so greatly, what could I possibly do to repay you?”
“I think tonight would be the best repayment,” Lin Shen said, caressing Tian Xun’s cheek.
Though it seemed to be only a simple touch, the smooth texture clearly told Lin Shen that it was the cheek of a warm beauty.
“Then tonight, I will be waiting for you,” Tian Xun sighed, making Lin Shen’s ears tingle intensely.
Suddenly, Lin Shen felt something moist and soft touch his earlobe, and his body jolted as if electrified.
Feeling Lin Shen’s tremor and rigidity, Tian Xun released her arms, stood straight, and laughed, “I still have some things to attend to, my dear. Let’s meet tonight without fail.”
After Lin Shen returned to his room and saw that there were still over thirty hours left until the evening, he teleported to Ring Mountain Planet to search for a mutated Supersource Dragon.
His heart excited, his hands trembling.
Tian Xin, holding the key Tian Xun had passed to him, was attempting to open his acquired treasure chest.
“Please let this be the right key…” Tian Xin prayed with an unprecedented sincerity.
His luck was indeed good; turning the key forcefully, he heard a click, and the chest surprisingly opened.
“It’s done… It really opened…” Tian Xin exclaimed joyously, lifting the lid with trembling hands.
Seeing the item inside, Tian Xin instantly froze.
“A Base Mutation Egg? How could it be a Base Mutation Egg? The most precious item of the Ancient Realm King is a Base Mutation Egg; what kind of incredible creature could hatch from this?” Tian Xin took out what appeared to be a Steel Mutant Egg.
However, he did not believe that it was just as it seemed, feeling it was merely an appearance, suggesting it was something much more than just a Steel Mutant Egg.
As there was nothing else in the chest, Tian Xin placed the Base Mutation Egg into an Incubation Box, full of immense anticipation, “The most precious Base Mutation Egg left by the Ancient Realm King—what terrifying creature might it hatch into?”
