Romance Game: Embrace of the Inhuman
Chapter 20 - 19: This Is the Dragon Bloodline...
CHAPTER 20: CHAPTER 19: THIS IS THE DRAGON BLOODLINE...
The blessings brought by the Dragon Bloodline are extremely comprehensive.
Chen Long’Er has a strong learning ability, easily applying and extrapolating, and never forgetting what she sees.
In fact, once Lin Qianxuan explained the basic learning methods to Chen Long’Er, she hardly needed Lin Qianxuan to elaborate further; she just immersed herself in the books, quickly learning one-on-one.
In just over an hour, she thoroughly read and memorized an entire basic textbook.
In one afternoon, she spoke Mystic Text as if she were a broadcasting professional, with perfect pronunciation.
Then, she directly performed a rapid-fire monologue for Lin Qianxuan.
Lin Qianxuan was both shocked and astonished.
"How was my tongue twister just now?" Chen Long’Er asked Lin Qianxuan in Mystic Text.
"Very good, very standard. You speak Mystic Text better than many people who grow up in Xuan Country." Lin Qianxuan nodded.
Chen Long’Er smiled.
It was a heartfelt smile.
Simply because she had mastered the language of her homeland.
The purple Misty Qi once again deepened the connection with Lin Qianxuan.
Deep in the genes, power was gradually awakening.
At the same time, a Sound Talisman also condensed through this purple Misty Qi in the depths of consciousness, enhancing Lin Qianxuan’s restorative and resilience abilities by a full 50%.
At the instant the connection was completed, his consciousness fell into a memory.
....
This perspective is Chen Long’Er’s.
But it’s not just a perspective; it’s also senses.
Loneliness, solitude, anger, confusion, pain...
"Number 146, as long as you are willing to join our group, with your Talent, you will definitely be well-utilized."
Anger surged from the bottom of her heart; she was unwilling, even at the cost of her life!!
These executioners, scoundrels, infernal fiends!!
If she were to collude with them, she would be guilty of betraying her parents’ teachings, guilty of betraying her Bloodline heritage.
"Begin the 2415th reaction experiment...."
If one doesn’t accept recruitment, one must accept pain.
Blood was extracted, scales were pulled off, even the horns on her head were sawn off halfway.
Though all could recover, that kind of pain was deeply etched into her memory.
Toxins injected into the body, high-intensity electric shocks.
Most of the time, it seemed as though they were not conducting experiments, but rather using torture to force her to submit.
Though not fatal, this ordeal seemed endless.
Curled up on the cold steel bed, her eyes looked coolly at the bright incandescent lamp.
She feared none of this pain, not even death.
But she could not die.
Her parents told her death was an act of cowardice; she had to wait!
Lie in wait here, waiting for opportunity!
There will be a day of soaring!
Yet her heart was confused, not knowing when all this would end.
She longed for the homeland her parents spoke of, longed to live on that land, to have a home of her own.
...
Lin Qianxuan gasped as he awoke from the memory.
He touched his arm, where it seemed it had been pierced thousands of times.
His body had more scales plucked, only to regrow anew.
Pain piercing the soul, impossible to erase.
But more than pain, what truly suffocated and gripped his heart was the bleak and hopeless future.
He didn’t know when all this would come to an end, and somewhere in his heart, he ominously felt it might never end.
If only he surrendered, opened his mouth, and forgot everything of the past, he could escape pain forever.
If it were Lin Qianxuan himself, perhaps he would have succumbed.
But Chen Long’Er did not.
She bit her teeth, enduring all this with firmness despite confusion and agony.
She refused to bow down to the enemy, even in pretence.
Suddenly, Chen Long’Er actively embraced Lin Qianxuan.
She was incredibly sensitive to emotions.
At this moment, she sensed the pain within Lin Qianxuan’s heart.
Lin Qianxuan’s emotions gradually stabilized, and he smiled wryly: "In fact, I should be the one comforting you."
Saying this, Lin Qianxuan also hugged Chen Long’Er back.
After a tender moment, Lin Qianxuan’s gaze became resolutely firm.
No matter what, he had no reason to retreat even an inch.
After the warmth subsides, Lin Qianxuan retrieved from his backpack some small gifts and magic props he originally intended to give to Chen Long’Er.
Unmistakably, those magic tricks could not deceive Chen Long’Er, but she still delighted in them.
The small gifts were not extraordinarily good, yet she was genuinely pleased.
For a moment, there arose a sense of ordinary life.
Inside the backpack, there was also a diamond ring.
These are manufactured now and quite affordable.
A decent-sized diamond ring can be bought for a few thousand dollars.
However, Lin Qianxuan hesitated a bit and didn’t take it out to give to Chen Long’Er to win her favor.
Though he had the courage to take responsibility, the current Chen Long’Er was like a naive girl, with limited understanding of the world. Lin Qianxuan felt that making a vow at this moment would be deceptive.
Moreover, the timing was not very suitable.
He began to mock himself inside.
He clearly had set strategies from the start, intending to win over Chen Long’Er completely, even through deceit.
Yet at this moment, he suddenly found himself with scruples.
Perhaps it could be said, he felt a bit unwilling.
The girl who had gone through all that, her life already had enough hardships, he did not want, did not intend to bring her even a trace of pain.
Under the night sky, Lin Qianxuan also took a bath and changed into clothes that were very suitable for physical activities.
He knew that sleep was impossible tonight.
Lin Qianxuan concentrated his spirit, his mind moved slightly, the Misty Qi on Chen Long’Er became visible, and its connection with his own reached about seventy percent.
"Good night," Lin Qianxuan said to Chen Long’Er.
"Stay, don’t go," Chen Long’Er said to Lin Qianxuan.
She knew what her invitation meant, but in her heart she was afraid, afraid of Lin Qianxuan leaving, more afraid that this was just a dream.
Lin Qianxuan held Chen Long’Er’s hand tightly, sat on the side of the bed, nodded, and said, "Okay, I won’t go."
He did not overstep even a single step.
Already tried it in the game, can’t break the defense!
The path of the evil strategy is not that easy to tread.
Moreover, the timing was not yet mature, he didn’t want to hurt Chen Long’Er or leave her with bad memories.
That should be the joy after a complete victory, rather than the escape and indulgence born from despair.
Chen Long’Er looked at Lin Qianxuan and gradually fell asleep.
Although she had rested during the day, it was no more than two hours.
Compared to the time she swam in the sea for so long, this rest was very short.
At this moment, Lin Qianxuan, on the contrary, felt more and more invigorated, the higher the degree of shared talent, the more exaggerated the purity of Dragon Bloodline in his body.
As a natural result, his body was continually being strengthened.
While Chen Long’Er rested, Lin Qianxuan was not idle, he tried to condense the water molecules in the void.
He could sense them, but condensing them was a bit difficult.
Only a tiny trace of water molecules gathered towards his palm.
It took more than a minute for a finger-sized water ball to form in his palm.
His spiritual strength wasn’t enough, the range of his sensing was too small, and the air here was relatively dry with not many water molecules.
If he were in a humid environment, he should easily be able to grab a water ball.
If he were in the water, he could easily form a shield of water around him, like an egg.
Lin Qianxuan flicked out the finger-sized water ball in his palm.
It erupted like a bullet, making a sharp explosion, shooting into the high sky outside the window, scattering.
This water bullet carried enough power to break through steel with its immense might.
Ordinary bullets couldn’t compare.
When he first saw Chen Long’Er’s performance in the game, he thought Dragon Bloodline was a warrior classification.
Now it seemed, he should be a mage instead.
Or, a war mage.
This is Dragon Bloodline, not only possessing a strong and resilient body, but also powerful magic skills, abundant stamina, strong spirit, quick reflexes, and incredible speed... in short, it’s... ahhhh!
Chen Long’Er was startled awake by the water bullet Lin Qianxuan shot out, but upon realizing it was him, she closed her eyes again and held his other hand as well.
She didn’t want Lin Qianxuan to wake her.
She rarely let herself have a little tantrum.
Lin Qianxuan didn’t mind at all, he held Chen Long’Er’s hand back, slightly forcefully, then lay down beside her.
Looking at Chen Long’Er’s delicate face, Lin Qianxuan was somewhat lost in thought.
How fortunate destiny had been to him, to give him a chance to meet her.
"Buzz~!"
The phone vibrated, making a noise.
Lin Qianxuan was taken aback, and Chen Long’Er also awoke, slowly loosening her grip on Lin Qianxuan’s hand.
Lin Qianxuan checked his phone and saw it was a call from Golden Mary.
"Mr. Lin, a large number of guards are assembling near the city, and some are already heading towards Purple Flower Street," Golden Mary said somewhat worriedly.
"Okay, I know."
Lin Qianxuan appeared unusually calm, after all, everything was within expectations, he said, "Please keep the phone on, also, tell me their approximate position and which direction has the fewest people for us to evacuate."
"There are some in the direction of the east road of Purple Flower Street, and on the north road... there’s no one heading towards Longshou River Park..."
Golden Mary, just like in the game, pointed out a route to Lin Qianxuan.
Lin Qianxuan understood and said to Chen Long’Er, "Let’s go, it’s no longer safe here."
Chen Long’Er nodded and got straight up.
Lin Qianxuan didn’t take much, only his phone, and the remaining three "Cyan Fruits," the phone for communication with Golden Mary, and Cyan Fruits to refresh his state later.
Outside the door, Lin Qianxuan looked at the ground below the railing, an inner feeling told him he could do it.
His heart rate slightly increased, he jumped straight down.
Bang~!
Lin Qianxuan’s feet landed on the ground, making some noise, but his body was unharmed, without feeling any rebound force.
Dragon Bloodline, terrifying!
Chen Long’Er also jumped down, she did it more effortlessly than Lin Qianxuan, without making much noise.
Her body easily absorbed the recoil.
Lin Qianxuan nodded to Chen Long’Er and started heading towards Longshou River.
Having scouted the path in advance, everything was very familiar to him.
Lin Qianxuan ran fast, faster and faster.
His reaction could keep up with his body’s movements, any obstacles ahead, he just leapt over.
No matter if it was three meters or five meters high.
Even higher, he could use a slight push to jump over.
Even without any push, it would work.
On the road, a motorcycle was speeding along, the buzzing sound resounded, its speed at least over sixty miles per hour, but Lin Qianxuan surpassed it in an instant, and then Chen Long’Er easily surpassed it.
The motorcyclist was a bit dumbfounded, doubting their eyesight.
Lin Qianxuan vaguely heard the sound of propellers, looking up, several helicopters were heading towards Purple Flower Street.
Unfortunately, they didn’t spot Lin Qianxuan and Chen Long’Er beneath them.
