CHAPTER 92: CHAPTER 82: TREE SHEPHERDESS BLOODLINE

Lin Ke almost choked to death.

And the girl walked directly up to Lin Ke, disregarding aristocratic etiquette, with an inexplicable light flickering in her eyes.

Only then did Lin Ke scrutinize the girl carefully.

Although her demeanor seemed overly arrogant, she was quite cute, a sweet little Loli.

A pale yellow long dress, fluffy curls, two cute and bouncy twin-tails, and... pale green pupils!

Pale green!

It seemed that Lin Ke saw the girl’s eyes making her confident, like a vain girl being seen in her favorite and most expensive clothes.

She smiled sweetly, two dimples appearing on her round face, her fluffy pale green curls gently flying.

The corners of her mouth revealed two small tiger teeth: "I have a ’great’ bloodline—the Tree Shepherdess, a branch bloodline of the Jade Tree Court."

At this point, Lin Ke had already regained his composure from the sudden "marriage proposal" and merely nodded slightly: "Mm, but sorry, uh... we’ve only just met!"

Moreover... shouldn’t we introduce our names first when we meet, not mention the bloodline?

Introducing your bloodline first, that’s really something.

Seeing Lin Ke remain so indifferent upon hearing "Jade Tree Court," a flash of surprise crossed the girl’s eyes as she spoke, "I really like you."

Lin Ke automatically ignored that because he noticed from the corner of his eye that everyone present had a faint respect for this girl.

Respect?

It seemed this girl was backed by a decent or very powerful family.

But Lin Ke couldn’t care less.

The definition of a Duke Clan is a family that at least has one level twenty-one existence, meaning they have someone with legendary or legendary-matching strength.

While a Duke Family has a level twenty star-level existence.

His teacher is a level twenty star-level, and in the future, Lin Ke is somewhat confident that Ove can break through to legendary.

There are plenty of great physical laws in the past life.

It’s just that Lin Ke is cautious about progressing sequentially; there are so many feedback-gaining experiments.

As for himself, barring any surprises, he too can become a legend.

Not to mention the bloodline inheritance, Lin Ke’s bloodline is among the most outstanding geniuses in Naseng’s history, another who stands shoulder to shoulder with him is even a Prince of an entire ocean.

He doesn’t need to bend over backward for anyone, nor does he need to please anyone for career profile matching or for learning, researching, and experimenting.

So, Lin Ke certainly can’t sell his appearance just for a ’great’ bloodline talent.

Yes, even if Lin Ke starves to death, jumps off the castle, he will not live off a woman, absolutely not!

Speaking of which, this girl’s just ’great,’ only a level higher than John, nothing too outstanding!

Looking at the girl’s gaze in front of him, Lin Ke shook his head and directly refused: "Sorry, no."

Then he quickly changed the subject, glancing around at others: "You are mainly here for my teacher, perhaps to win him over or to inquire... that doesn’t matter."

As Lin Ke said this, he stood up, smiling slightly: "My mentor has already joined our Azanen Family and will be stationed at Azaenn Castle from now on!"

A star-level existence stationed in Azanen!

"This..." Everyone was shocked, and the armored strong man voiced his disbelief: "Just a Viscount Clan?"

He stood up, looking at Ove: "Sir, Count Giant Sword is currently level sixteen and has potential to break through to level eighteen. The Giant Sword Clan sincerely invites you to join." As he spoke, the armored strong man released his aura.

Lin Ke only felt that the armored strong man had a power above level ten, but he wasn’t very sociable.

Not mentioning any benefits, just trying to coax with empty promises?

At this point, Ove also said indifferently: "Level sixteen, quite good... but I am already a member of Azanen, sorry."

"If that’s the case..." The armored strong man shook his head and walked straight to the door: "I will report back to the Count."

He acted decisively without dragging his feet, his armor clinking loudly as he strode out.

However, just before reaching the door, the armored strong man stopped and his voice came from within: "This offense is entirely my own doing, I will give the Azanen Clan an appropriate apology, and it has nothing to do with the Count."

Saying this, he walked out with large strides, and none of the numerous servants in the reception room were brought by him.

Antova and the others were a bit taken aback at how decisively this man left, as it was somewhat discourteous.

Lin Ke, however, was expressionless, not caring whether it was discourteous or not.

This kind of person appeared decisive and straightforward, without much beating around the bush, so it made sense to leave directly.

He rather admired this straightforward nature.

After the armored strong man left, the girl with pale green pupils still looked at Lin Ke and said, "Why won’t you marry me?"

Lin Ke felt a headache coming on.

So he explained, "Young lady, love is a wonderful and great thing, and before we develop it, I don’t think I will marry you."

You’re still young, you don’t understand love, my dear.

"Love? But my mother says, as long as you have power, you can get anything you want." The girl waved her hand dismissively: "Back then, my father was snatched by my mother. Now he has developed that thing... love, yes, love for my mother."

The girl spoke nonchalantly: "Now father can beat mother, as mother says, ’press him down,’ at worst you get pressed by me now, and later..."

"Miss, you’ve said too much." The butler behind her inhaled sharply, quickly coming out to stop her.

But the girl remained nonchalant.

Damn, so fierce!

Lin Ke was at a loss for words.

To avoid living off a woman, he had to change the subject again: "Miss, let me finish talking to the others first, then we can discuss this, okay?"

"No need for discussion, it’s not that important anyway." The girl waved her small hand dismissively, while the other guests were apathetic.

Lin Ke realized again that the girl’s background was not simple.

"But miss, they may not need to talk, but I do." Lin Ke had to show a bit of strength, his expression turning cold.

Even if not now, it would be discussed later, so it’s better to resolve it now to save Teacher Ove unnecessary socializing later.

"Alright... must be something my father calls men’s dignity... oh, damn dignity..." The girl muttered a few words under her breath, then returned to sit by the door.

She casually picked up a piece of sour milk cake, took a big bite, and then her eyes lit up as she began to savor it.

"Thank you." Lin Ke appeased the girl, then without looking at the Cat-man, the big frog, or the white-haired old woman, he turned his gaze to the right, towards Count Akel, who resembled a goblin race.

"Mr. Akel, hello. I’ve received the gift from Lady Heishan, thank you for your kindness." Lin Ke had a good opinion of Count Akel.

When he first came in, it was obvious that Count Akel was speaking to Antova, and later it was even clearer that he was helping him, not to mention the kindness previously conveyed by Heishan.

"Mr. Lin Ke, I feel your friendliness, and I’m very touched." Akel, worthy of being a businessman, showed concern and respect even to a child like Lin Ke.

To be able to become a Count with less than level fifteen strength is indeed extraordinary.

Lin Ke nodded slightly: "Mr. Akel, hello. Tomorrow is my birthday, when I’ll be turning six. Tonight at our castle, we’re holding a concert. I’m wondering if Azaenn Castle would be honored by your presence."

"Certainly... and also..."

"Ahem." Just then, when Akel was about to continue, the white-haired old woman behind him gave a light cough and interrupted him.

"Mr. Akel laughed: "Mr. Lin Ke, you can first take care of other matters, and by the way..."

He started to say something but was interrupted again by the white-haired old woman who gasped and quickly came out to stop him.

"Andrew’s Leg! That wasn’t our senator’s fault! His Majesty was exaggerating! His Majesty violated... "

Upon seeing this, Lin Ke narrowed his eyes.

"Oh my, were you dared to say it? How dare you speak ill of His Majesty?" Count Akel interrupted.

The white-haired old woman suddenly snapped back, her momentum dropping several notches, the whole person languished.

Seeing her lower her head, her voice hoarse, "The will of His Majesty Insomnia, I will not dare to defy, nor will our Eternal Freeze Court."

Upon witnessing this scene, Lin Ke squinted his eyes.
