Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution - Chapter 344

Chapter 344: Chapter 344: The New Fire Seed

The fog was too dense to see clearly what changes had occurred to Ouyang Yudou within its thickness.

Cosmic Rainbow Light twisted and changed in the starry sky, and soon it was about to disappear.

Ouyang Juemiao was both shocked and delighted, her eyes turning murderous as she spotted the little girl sitting dumbly on the ground.

With a thought, the sword in Ouyang Juemiao’s hand instantly flew out, aiming to strike down the little girl.

For the sake of enabling Ouyang Yudou to break through the Gift Theory, her deeds towards the little girl were unspeakable.

Furthermore, since the little girl had witnessed everything today, she absolutely could not be allowed to live.

The little girl also possessed the talent required to cultivate the Gift Theory, and if one day, she made a breakthrough like Ouyang Yudou, she would then become a major threat to the Ouyang Family.

The flying sword, like a beam of light, was about to strike the little girl’s head.

A beam of white light shot out from the mist, blocking the flying sword, which struck the white light and seemed magnetically trapped, unable to free itself no matter how it struggled.

Upon closer inspection, Ouyang Juemiao realized that it was actually a white jade umbrella in its closed form.

By this time, the fog was nearly gone, leaving only a thin layer as delicate as gauze.

A white figure slowly emerged from the mist and walked towards the little girl.

Ouyang Juemiao’s flying sword, seemingly fascinated by the curious jade umbrella, was firmly stuck to it. No matter how she commanded it, she could not free her Life Base Sword from the umbrella.

Ouyang Yuyang’s complexion changed greatly, for she felt her Life Base rapidly weakening as if it was being siphoned away by that jade umbrella.

“Yudou… what are you doing…” Ouyang Juemiao exclaimed in shock and rage, and in the next second, she spat out fresh blood.

Her Life Base Sword, which had been attached to the curious weapon, had now turned into useless debris scattered on the ground.

The fog around Ouyang Yudou had also completely dissipated. He approached the little girl, reached for the jade umbrella and opened it, shielding the skies above the girl’s head.

The girl gazed in a daze as the man with the jade umbrella approached her. The bizarre blood lotus-shaped pupils in the man’s eyes had vanished, but a small blood lotus seal had appeared at his brow.

Seeing Ouyang Yudou extend his hand, she unconsciously did the same, placing her cool little hand in the man’s. He then pulled her up.

With one hand holding the umbrella and the other leading the little girl, Ouyang Yudou turned and walked away.

“Yudou, she cannot be allowed to live…” Ouyang Juemiao had not finished speaking when she was cut off.

“You are no longer suited to lead the Ouyang Family. Spend the rest of your life here,” came Ouyang Yudou’s voice, gentle yet with a force that was difficult to contend with.

…

Lin Shen woke up and, as expected, found that the Base Mutation Egg no longer had mosaic covering it, and also that there was information about a Fire Seed in his mind.

[Failed Super-Base Evolutionary Fire Seed – Shape Restoration: Consume what benefits you, eating food similar in form to restore function and heal injuries of corresponding organs.]

“What sort of bizarre ability is this?” Lin Shen’s expression was a bit odd.

Back in his hometown, there indeed existed the saying about Shape Restoration, such as the belief that eating pig’s trotters could help heal a foot injury.

Elder sister had wanted to sell the melon eggs by leveraging this mindset.

“If Shape Restoration really worked, should I eat a few Base Mutation Eggs to try it out?” Lin Shen thought of something and actually felt a bit excited.

“But it seems like I don’t need Shape Restoration.” Lin Shen looked out the window, where it was still dark.

Lin Shen took out a Nightglow Flower and used its light to illuminate the darkness. He went out the door and ran to knock on the elder sister’s door next door, “Elder sister, open up, it’s me.”

“In the middle of the night, why aren’t you sleeping? What brings you here?” Lin Miao opened the door, yawning as she spoke.

“Do you have that egg here? Give me a few.” Lin Shen got straight to the point.

Lin Miao looked Lin Shen up and down with a weird expression, her lips moved but she didn’t say anything. She turned around, went back inside, and came out with a handbag containing five or six Base Mutation Eggs, which she handed over to Lin Shen.

“Thanks, sis. You can close the door now.” Lin Shen took the handbag and said.

When Lin Miao had closed the door halfway, she couldn’t help but add, “Lin Shen, it’s normal for someone your age to have those needs, but you have to look after your health and not do it too frequently. Plus, that’s not a healthy method. You should be directing your efforts towards Tian Xun, hurry and win her over. That way, you can take care of your own needs and also spread the Lin Family lineage.”

Having said that, Lin Miao closed the door.

“It’s not… I…” Lin Shen found himself speechless, and could only give a bitter smile towards the closed door before he returned to his room.

Back in his room, Lin Shen took out a Base Mutation Egg to examine. The thing was the size of a fist and really did look like a kidney.

“How am I supposed to do this Shape Restoration? Just eat this thing?” Although Lin Shen’s teeth could bite through steel, the egg was neither tasty nor easy to digest. There wouldn’t be any benefit to eating it.

But then he thought, might as well give it a try. What if it actually worked?

With determination, Lin Shen opened his mouth and took a small nibble on the Base Mutation Egg, biting off a tiny bit of the steel-like substance.

“It’s really gross!” Lin Shen fought the urge to retch, chewed the tiny bit of steel-like egg into pieces, and forced it down.

However, after waiting for a while, there was no reaction. He didn’t feel his kidneys heat up, nor did he notice any sort of reaction from any other usually softer parts.

“What a useless thing, this Fire Seed doesn’t do anything.” Lin Shen felt somewhat downhearted.

Having already taken a bite, Lin Shen cracked the egg’s shell open, and drank the liquid inside.

The Base Mutation Egg was somewhat like a coconut, with a shell on the outside and liquid on the inside, but the egg’s shell was very thick and there was very little liquid, not as juicy as a coconut.

“Oh my… it’s working… it’s really working…” Lin Shen actually felt his lower back warming up, and a certain software seemed to be perking up.

“Wow… this Fire Seed ability is something…” Lin Shen felt his spirits lift immensely, as if he had boundless energy.

“Let’s try a couple more…” After a while, Lin Shen cracked open several more Base Mutation Eggs and drank the liquid dowxn.

The next morning during breakfast, to everyone’s surprise, Lin Shen was nowhere to be seen.

Tian Xin promptly instructed the butler to call Lin Shen, but the butler came back and said that Lin Shen wanted to sleep a bit more and told them to start without him.

“Totally lacking discipline. Doesn’t he know we’re heading to Chessboard Island today?” Tian Xin immediately got up to call on Lin Shen herself.

When she reached the door to Lin Shen’s room, Tian Xin kept knocking, but regardless of what Lin Shen said inside, she wouldn’t leave without him opening the door.

After a while, Lin Shen couldn’t take it anymore and finally opened the door.

“Didn’t I tell you? You guys go ahead and eat, and I’ll sleep a bit more,” Lin Shen said, wrapped in a blanket.

“Sleep? What sleep? We’re setting off after breakfast. I’ve never seen you this lazy. Wasn’t the night long enough for you?” Tian Xin grew more irritated the more she looked at Lin Shen and reached to pull away the blanket he was wrapped in.
