Chapter 39 An Awkward Dinner
This "thread-connecting" evolution function aroused his playful spirit. He looked outside curiously and was surprised to see many threads in his mother's pile of mood bubbles.
This is something I've never seen before. What is it?
He casually flipped one over to examine it:
Destiny line: [Wu Chen combination]
What is this?
He did a quick calculation and gained two extra computing power points. He also learned that this was actually related to science.
Well, he should be able to understand it once his mother studies science.
At the same time, whether it was because his perception had become stronger or because of the blessing of this 'feelings of love in his boudoir,' he could see his mother's emotional bubbles floating around frequently again.
[Oh dear, martial arts are electives, and nurturing and art have long been perfected, but science is a bit difficult. I'm only at the pitiful mid-stage of the first realm, it's so hard...]
Looking for a tutor?
Those scientists' thinking jumps around too fast; I can't keep up at all...
Hmm... Jiang Yun remained silent.
Is studying theory difficult?
If I use that mysterious jade to plant a seed of fate for my biological mother, would it be difficult?
Why waste your brain cells when you can just use cheat codes? Jiang Yun directly used the Divine Calculation to deduce it again.
This time, he was calculating whether it was feasible to give the seed to his biological mother to help her learn science, and whether he himself had the talent to learn science.
Then, looking at the calculated results, he smiled.
[The Celestial Purple Jade Soul has been developed to its limit... The Meteorite Bone can be developed into Celestial Fall, which is expected to increase Dao Wisdom by 11 points...]
[The Flowing Light Melody can be developed into the Flowing Light Radiance, which is expected to increase Dao Wisdom by 5 points...]
[The study of romantic thoughts in one's boudoir can be combined with the study of "Tying the Knot" to increase one's Dao Wisdom by 23 points. At the same time, you may also obtain a "Marriage Dao Mark".]
【Traces of Marriage: These can help you understand the process of accumulating spiritual merit in the 'Marriage' path, and are used to deduce new methods for seeking enlightenment through marriage.】
Regarding your innate talent for science, yes, but if your mother can break through to the second level of science, your talent for science will be even stronger.
It can also increase one's wisdom, which is pretty good.
At the same time, feedback on computing power also emerged.
Faced with newly emerging abilities, you didn't make a hasty decision, but instead carefully calculated and fully utilized your skills.
[Evaluation: Steady progress]
[Computing power +7]
[Computing power surplus: 46]
Okay, let's plant them then.
Anyway, it can increase Dao wisdom, and maybe his mother's cultivation ability will continue to break through, and she can continue to help him obtain Xuanji.
"Yanzi, help me consume Xuanji and develop 'Thread-Connecting Technique'."
Okay, it's being developed for you. Development complete.
With the completion of the "Tying of Silks" development, the pink petals of his lotus soul, which had already been outlined, suddenly became vivid and lustrous, as if a radiant glow flowed within them.
Jiang Yun pondered for a moment, and with a thought, a delicate and translucent pink light quietly condensed in his consciousness.
The pink light, following the invisible bond between mother and child, silently crossed the barrier of flesh and blood and entered Ling Jiu's brow.
I won't take away your relationship with your mother. A good baby is one who grows together with their mother.
As he was thinking this, a wisp of exceptionally bright pink emotion from his mother floated gently up to him—
Why don't we ask Jiang Rang?
Oh dear, why did I think of him...?
6. Your son is trying to help you get ahead, but you're really thinking about his father.
And at the very moment this thought arose in his mind—
"Ding-dong!"
The phone screen on the bed suddenly lit up.
It was a message from Cheng Feng:
[Xiao Jiu, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner, and Xiao Jiang will come too.]
【position】
……
At night, on the fourth floor of Wanbaoda Plaza, there is a crab hot pot restaurant called "Crab Your Love".
When Ling Jiu arrived at her reserved window booth, guided by the waiter, Jiang Rang had already arrived.
He was wearing a simple dark gray hooded sweatshirt and black casual trousers, looking down at his phone. His profile, bathed in the warm yellow light of the store, was sharply defined and serene.
He looked up when he heard footsteps.
Eyes facing each other.
Jiang Yun, who was watching the drama unfold, felt her mother's heart skip a beat.
I guess I really like him more.
Before she went out today, Chen Wei and Li Yue helped her dress up a bit. She applied some lipstick to brighten her complexion, and her hair was softly draped over her shoulders. She wore a beige knit sweater and light blue jeans, looking refreshing and gentle.
Jiang Rang's gaze lingered on her face for a moment before quickly shifting away, and he nodded almost imperceptibly: "You're here."
"Mmm." Ling Jiu responded and sat down opposite him, placing her hands on her knees, her fingertips unconsciously curling up.
The air fell silent instantly, with only the laughter and chatter from the next table and the soothing background music playing in the store.
Awkwardness, like a transparent gel, slowly filled the space between the two.
Jiang Yun, nestled in her mother's womb, could see everything clearly thanks to the "Butterfly God's Eye" and her newly awakened ability to sense fate.
The causal threads between the two are tangled and complex, containing pink, symbolizing marriage, as well as many indistinct black and gray hues.
At this moment, bubbles representing emotions are constantly rising from the two of them.
Jiang Rang's lines were still few and concise, but much lighter. Perhaps Zhiyuan had enhanced Jiang Yun's observation skills, allowing him to unexpectedly glimpse some of her emotions.
She looks better today. Hmm, what does that have to do with me?
Ling Jiu's side was much more elaborate, with a chaotic mix of pink and white lines: [He looks quite good in that hoodie today...] [Why isn't he saying anything?] [Should I speak first?] [Say what?]
Just as Ling Jiu was about to be overwhelmed by her own inner monologue, a cheerful voice broke the deadlock:
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, something came up at the station and I'm late!"
Cheng Feng rushed over, plopped down between the two, looked at Ling Jiu, then at Jiang Rang, and grinned:
"You two are pretty punctual. So, you both got into Jiangcheng University, does that mean you're dating?"
The entry above his head still read "[Civil Service Third Rank: Detective] [Hidden Spirit Realm: Early Stage of Hidden Qi (Third Realm of Literary Dao)]", and a transparent mood bubble was floating out: "[This atmosphere is off. Looks like what happened back then hasn't faded yet? I need to lighten the mood.]"
"Xiao Jiu, are you settling in well at Jiangda?" Cheng Feng asked with a smile as he poured Ling Jiu a cup of barley tea.
"It's...it's alright." Ling Jiu took the teacup and thanked her softly.
"Anyway, Jiang Rang is definitely famous now. I've seen a lot of people talking about you since I got here."
"Hmm." Jiang Rang said calmly, picking up his teacup and taking a sip.
"Your personality... is quite good, it seems genuine. Unlike the well-behaved and warm persona you put on in public, it's all just a lie."
Cheng Feng didn't mind. After ordering, while waiting for the food to arrive, he glanced at the two of them and casually asked, "Speaking of which, you two were quite close back in Xuancheng, weren't you? Well, after Xiao Jiu transferred to Jiangcheng, you lost contact?"
His emotional bubble read: "We escaped from that divine kingdom ruin together, clinging to each other like glue, but now we're like strangers."
Jiang Rang raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Ling Jiu, his tone devoid of emotion: "After she transferred schools, we lost contact."
Ling Jiu tightened her grip on the teacup slightly, lowered her eyes, stared at the tea swirling in the cup, and remained silent.
Cheng Feng keenly sensed Ling Jiu's low spirits and sighed inwardly, knowing that what happened back then was probably not so simple.
The three clinked glasses, which livened up the atmosphere a little, but Cheng Feng did most of the talking, sharing anecdotes about his work and the changes in Jiangcheng, while Ling Jiu and Jiang Rang occasionally chimed in.
