Chapter 56: Am I Walking In The Wrong Direction
Lin Chuxia’s eyes widened slightly as she looked at w.a.n.g Teng’s stretched-out hand in front of her.
Lin Chuhan was also shocked by w.a.n.g Teng’s sudden action. She was the one who had the best understanding of her younger sister’s condition. Anyone who got within one meter radius of her would get affected, much less direct body interaction.
She wanted to stop w.a.n.g Teng, but Lin Chuxia opened her mouth first. “Aren’t you afraid of me?”
“Afraid of what?” asked w.a.n.g Teng.
“Afraid of my face! Afraid of the air around me.”
“Look at me. Do you think I seem affected?” w.a.n.g Teng smiled and asked.
Lin Chuhan, who was standing beside them, was astounded. She stared at w.a.n.g Teng in disbelief.
Indeed.
A normal person would have already felt uncomfortable at such a close distance. Their faces would start turning green too.
However, w.a.n.g Teng looked unaffected.
“w.a.n.g Teng, you…”
“It’s probably because I always drink goji berry tea, so my immunity is better,” w.a.n.g Teng said in all seriousness.
Lin Chuhan: …
What do you mean by your immunity is stronger because you drink goji berry tea? Do you think I’m stupid?
Why can’t you be more serious? This is a serious matter.
Lin Chuxia observed him for a long time. At last, her eyes lit up, and she continued, “You really look alright~”
She slowly stretched out her hand. She was a little hesitant at first, but she still held w.a.n.g Teng’s palm.
The next second, Lin Chuxia was dumbstruck.
She didn’t know how to explain this feeling. A cold stream of air seemed to have stirred up in her body. It started flowing around her limbs and bones, rejuvenating her.
Just as she was about to inquire about it, she saw w.a.n.g Teng winking at her mysteriously.
The words at the edge of her lips stopped right there.
w.a.n.g Teng smiled gently and released Lin Chuxia’s hand. He then stood up. At the same time, he didn’t forget to collect the attribute bubbles around her.
Demon Lotus Poison Body*7
Poison Force*15
Undoubtedly, the number of attribute bubbles around her body was the most.
After picking up everything, w.a.n.g Teng felt that the demon lotus poison body within him was becoming more and more complete. The poison Force in his body had also increased.
On the other hand, Lin Chuxia felt the pressurizing and sticky feeling in the air around her, which made her feel like there was a layer of liquid covering her, disappear suddenly.
But, she didn’t probe further. She just curiously sized up w.a.n.g Teng.
A bud of hope had bloomed in her heart…
Lin Chuhan had been observing w.a.n.g Teng from the start. She keenly noticed that he wasn’t affected even after the physical interaction. While she heaved a sigh of relief, she felt even more puzzled.
“w.a.n.g Teng, what on earth is happening? Why aren’t you affected by my sister’s weird illness?”
“I don’t know either. Maybe it’s really because my immunity is stronger.” w.a.n.g Teng didn’t tell Lin Chuhan the truth.
Right now, he didn’t know how to solve Lin Chuxia’s illness. If he said anything, it would just make Lin Chuhan happy for nothing.
He would tell her when he had some direction. It wouldn’t be too late then.
As for Lin Chuxia, he let her know about it because he wanted her to have some hope. If a young lady like her lived her life hopelessly every day, there would be problems sooner or later.
Lin Chuhan curiously sized up w.a.n.g Teng.
“If you really know something, I hope that you can tell me. This is extremely important to my family,” she said seriously in the end.
“Sister, don’t make things difficult for Brother-in-law,” said Lin Chuxia.
“…I’ve already said that he’s not your brother-in-law.” Lin Chuhan was speechless.
“Don’t worry. If I really have a solution, I will tell you right away,” w.a.n.g Teng promised.
Lin Chuhan nodded. She seemed a little dejected when she saw that w.a.n.g Teng didn’t have a solution.
After some time, she lifted up her spirits and squatted down. She then said to Lin Chuxia in a serious tone, “Chuxia, don’t worry. I’ve already applied for the martial arts exam. I’ll definitely become a martial warrior in the future and help you to find a treatment for your strange illness.”
“Sister, I thought that Mom doesn’t allow you to practice martial arts?” Lin Chuxia exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Chuhan hurriedly raised her forefinger and placed it beside her lips. “Shh, speak softer. You can’t let Mom know about this matter.”
w.a.n.g Teng was speechless. Why are you asking your younger sister to speak softer? Who was the one speaking so loudly just now?
However, he finally understood why Lin Chuhan didn’t tell her mother about her application for the martial arts exam.
What happened to Lin Chuhan’s father must have stimulated Mother Lin greatly.
As a mother, how could she allow her daughter to follow in her husband’s footsteps? Even if there was just a slight possibility, she would kill the problem in the cradle.
Dinner wasn’t ready, so w.a.n.g Teng and Lin Chuhan stayed in the room and chatted with her.
Lin Chuhan was happy that another person was hanging around with Lin Chuxia. Usually, only Mother Lin and she were able to accompany Lin Chuxia. This young lady was too lonely.
w.a.n.g Teng used the free time in the middle of the chat to pick up all the attribute bubbles in the room.

He could see the additional ‘demon lotus poison body’ in his talent column. w.a.n.g Teng felt that this physique was powerful. He looked at its upper limit—10000!
How long was he supposed to collect this attribute?
But, it also reflected how extraordinary and amazing this demon lotus poison body was.
Then, he turned to look at the poison Force. It had already reached 30 points, higher than the ice Force and earth Force.
This poison baby Lin Chuxia had plenty of reserves!
w.a.n.g Teng couldn’t help but exclaim to himself. At this moment, he already had a general plan of how to use the poison Force.
In the future, while fighting with his opponents, he would secretly mix some poison Force into his other Forces. He would poison his opponents before they could understand what happened!
Tsk, this is perfect.
He seemed to be walking further and further on the path of becoming a sinister fellow.
Am I walking in the wrong direction? w.a.n.g Teng examined his conscience and asked himself.
After some time, Mother Lin finished cooking dinner and called them to eat.
When she saw w.a.n.g Teng and Lin Chuxia interacting harmoniously, she was elated. She even asked w.a.n.g Teng to visit their house more often in the future.
On the dinner table, only Mother Lin, Lin Chuhan, and w.a.n.g Teng were present. Father Lin was dead drunk. He was unconscious now.
Lin Chuxia wasn’t able to join them. Mother Lin had carried the dishes into the room for her.
On the dining table, w.a.n.g Teng felt really uncomfortable because of Mother Lin’s enthusiasm. The rice bowl in front of him was piled high with rice, looking like a small hill. w.a.n.g Teng was dumbstruck.
Lin Chuhan laughed secretly at the side when she saw w.a.n.g Teng’s awkward expression.
After dinner, w.a.n.g Teng almost ran away in a flurry.
“Remember to come often to play,” Mother Lin reminded him as she sent him to the door.
Lin Chuhan and w.a.n.g Teng walked to the main road together.
w.a.n.g Teng’s sports car was parked at the side of the road. He stopped walking and opened the car door. “Hurry up and go home.”
Lin Chuhan nodded. She said, “Thank you for everything today!”
w.a.n.g Teng waved his hand and drove away in his car. Lin Chuhan stood rooted on her spot. No one knew what she was thinking. She just blankly stared into s.p.a.ce for a long while…
