Earth-shaking changes have taken place.
Perhaps their strength has increased further.
Lin Yuan, who had done all this, acted as if he had just returned from a walk, as if the purple energy giant he had just encountered had nothing to do with him.
Vatican fell silent for a moment.
Despite being an extraordinary and powerful being who was close to being a god, he was as approachable as a boy next door, without any airs of a powerful person. This touched her heart even more, and she found him even more unfathomable.
Looking at Lin Yuan now, it seems that every gesture he makes exudes a mysterious and captivating charm.
"Now that you're awake, let's cook something to eat and see if your cooking skills have improved."
Although Lin Yuan could directly materialize various delicacies through energy transcribing, he still preferred food made step by step from ingredients, even if it wasn't as delicious.
This is similar to Mark. Although he has become a humanoid Devourer and can replenish his energy through photosynthesis alone, he still retains the habit of eating.
These days, he often goes to restaurants with Ran Bing, where the two of them order a large bowl of mushroom noodle soup and then share some side dishes.
Lin Yuan felt that the food created directly through energy transcribing seemed to lack a certain feeling, as if it wasn't a proper meal.
Vatican nodded and said seriously:
"I'll cook you some noodles."
No? What you're saying is very easy to misunderstand...
Lin Yuan's mind immediately wandered, and he couldn't help but cough, blushing slightly.
Chapter 143 Never mind, let's give it a shot.
Fanti's culinary skills have indeed improved significantly; she truly deserves the excellent genes selected by the Lighthouse.
Chop vegetables, heat oil in a pan...
Every step looked very skillful, clearly indicating that he had secretly observed the restaurant for some time.
Lin Yuan had noticed this before. When they went to restaurants to order food, Fanti would always watch from the side, but he didn't dare to go up and ask for advice.
However, through constant exposure, I learned a little bit of it.
However, Vatican suddenly stopped. After frying the shrimp in the pan for a while, she forgot what to do next.
After thinking for a moment, Vatican was about to put everything in at once when Lin Yuan suddenly reached out to stop him.
Feeling the warmth of Lin Yuan's palm, she inexplicably felt her heart flutter.
"You have indeed made progress, but it's not enough. Since you've been so obedient lately, I'll give you a hand."
Lin Yuan smiled and patiently explained, "You see, rice noodles need to be cooked for a longer time, and shrimp will become tough if cooked for too long, so you need to cook them first, take them out, and then put them back, and then..."
As Vatican listened to the explanation, his initially flustered expression gradually became serious. He nodded from time to time and then did as Lin Yuan instructed.
In about half an hour, two bowls of shrimp and crab mushroom rice noodles were served.
Looking at the two bowls of noodles, Fanti suddenly felt a great sense of accomplishment; she couldn't believe that she had actually made them.
However, none of this was due to his own efforts.
Recalling Lin Yuan's earnest and patient tone, the emotions in Fanti's eyes intensified.
She didn't know when, but her opinion of Lin Yuan gradually changed, and now she didn't want to leave this man anymore.
Lin Yuan showed a satisfied expression and nodded to himself.
"Not bad, I didn't expect you to be so quick to understand. I think I'll let you do the cooking usually."
"So that every time Yuan's mom serves food, she doesn't have to check if Yuan has put her thumb in the soup..."
Vatican suddenly spoke up: "I'll grant you anything, but I want one thing."
Lin Yuan, noticing the inexplicable look in her eyes, paused for a moment, then said:
"Don't worry, you'll definitely get your share of the crystal coins."
"That's not what I want."
Vanti took a deep breath and spoke what he truly desired deep in his heart.
"Give me a seed of extraordinary ability, and I will breed with you."
Lin Yuan was a little confused, not understanding why cooking a meal would lead to this.
He knew what Vatican was thinking lately, and he knew this day would come, but he didn't expect it to happen at this critical juncture.
"I hope I can help you."
Fanti felt a little ashamed, her breathing trembled slightly, and she forced herself to remain calm as she said:
"Bai Yuekui, the leader of Dragon Bone Village, has already spoken with me."
"Once you obtain the Seed of Extraordinary Power, you can become stronger, which will also benefit you. However, the number is limited, so we need to select some suitable volunteers."
"I also heard her say that you may be facing a very dangerous battle next, the strongest Devouring Beast you have ever encountered before."
"Moreover, your life could be in danger."
"Although I don't know what happened, I want to help you."
"The Church of Light and Shadow has disbanded, and I am no longer a Lightbearer. I have no idea where I will go in the future."
"I thought about it for a long time and realized that this is the only thing I can do."
"If it were you, I would."
Lin Yuan was stunned. He hadn't expected that Boss Bai would provide another assist.
It seems that she had already chosen the candidates before she even knew about the quantity limit.
Upon learning of the effects of the Seed of Extraordinary Power, Boss Bai was already considering the issue of who would receive it.
Fanti, who lived with her, became her first choice.
Thinking about this, Lin Yuan suddenly understood.
No wonder Boss Bai mentioned Fanti meaningfully when he left yesterday; it turns out he had already spoken with her beforehand.
Seeing that Lin Yuan remained silent, Vatican gritted his teeth and said:
"I...I won't tell anyone. We can keep our distance normally, so don't worry that Erica will mind."
"Just think of it as... carrying out a breeding mission with a strange woman in the Dawn Hall."
After saying this, Fanti found himself feeling a deep pang of sorrow.
That's when I suddenly realized it.
It turns out that she also hoped to have a closer relationship with Lin Yuan, just like Erica.
So this is why those people in the Lighthouse community would rather defy their breeding missions than not be with their loved ones.
She had unknowingly fallen in love with this man.
Perhaps it was when he possessed immense power yet still treated himself kindly, or perhaps it was when he taught himself the preciousness of life.
Or perhaps it was when he patiently taught me how to cook and how to live as an ordinary person.
Vatican recalled the details of his experience.
But could he really accept the way he had treated Lin Yuan before?
However, it's too late now; all of this is irreversible, and the mistakes of the past cannot be undone.
Even if Lin Yuan really did give me the Seed of Extraordinary Power, it would only be for the purpose of satisfying my physical desires and seeking personal gain. He might despise me the very next day, or even discard me like trash...
Fandi felt empty inside, and tears welled up in her eyes without her realizing it, while her hands unconsciously began to take off her clothes.
It's okay, none of this is okay...
Lin Yuan pressed down on Fanti's trembling hand, abruptly interrupting her chaotic thoughts.
Vatican was taken aback for a moment, his eyes filled with confusion.
“I see fear and worry in your eyes.”
Lin Yuan's expression was unusually serious: "I hope you can understand one thing."
"Even without the extraordinary seed, I can still kill a king-level Devouring Beast."
"But if I had actually done it with you just now, I would be no different from a beast."
"Think things through before you speak."
Lin Yuan placed two bowls of shrimp, crab, and mushroom rice noodles on the table: "Let's eat first."
Fanti was stunned. Watching the departing figure, a warm feeling suddenly welled up in her chest, and a smile appeared on her lips.
At that moment, she understood many things.
............
Damn, it was so close.
Lin Yuan felt somewhat irritated.
His lustful heart had been itching for a while, and he almost took advantage of Vatican.
But seeing her expression, which was filled with sorrow and worry, and her trembling hands, I suddenly felt a little upset and said those words.
What was I thinking just now?
After something like that happened, turning around and wanting to eat seems a bit too impulsive.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth. Fanti hadn't come out of the kitchen for a long time, probably because he didn't know how to face it.
"Oh right, I think I forgot to leave a bowl for Erica. I'll make another one later."
A few minutes later, footsteps were heard in the kitchen.
Lin Yuan looked up and was immediately surprised, his eyes widening in astonishment.
Fanti walked out barefoot, her long, shapely legs swaying, almost completely naked.
She was only covered by a thong-shaped pair of underwear.
"Lin Yuan, thank you for reminding me. I've figured it out."
Fanti regained the decisiveness of her former Lightbringer form, covering her private parts with one hand, and straddled Lin Yuan's lap.
She wrapped her arms around Lin Yuan's head, a confident smile playing on her lips, her tone teasingly seductive:
"I just... want it!"
No, do you think this is ridiculous?
Lin Yuan's temper flared instantly. Amidst a soft cry, he picked up Fan Di and headed towards the kitchen.
Never mind, let's start a game!
Chapter 143 Cooking, Testing the Heart of the Tree Realm
On the second floor, Erica was fast asleep, the flower buds in the potted plant in full bloom releasing a hypnotic fragrance.
With a thought, Lin Yuan manipulated the Heart of the Tree Realm to close the door to the room on the second floor, while simultaneously enhancing the soundproofing.
Erica slept even more soundly.
That way, I won't bother her.
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Erica doesn't mind giving the Seed of the Extraordinary to others, it's still best not to do it openly.
Wouldn't that be committing a mistake right now?
Vatican had no scruples whatsoever.
She is constantly showing off her figure, displaying her most beautiful parts.
Just now, Vatican realized something.
If you desire something, you should strive for it instead of being preoccupied with gains and losses; otherwise, you will not obtain anything.
Perhaps during this time I lost my status as a Lightbearer and became a prisoner.
