Xiao Hongchen felt that his younger sister had been acting a bit strange lately.
It was one thing that she ran to Kong Mingan's cold laboratory every day, unbothered by anything.
After all, he had to admit that following soone to Cultivate, although the dicine was so bitter it could kill a person, and the Body Tempering thod would occasionally be updated, forcing him to relearn it, the improvent in his Cultivation and physique was undeniably fast.
But the problem was, every ti she returned from the laboratory, he would always see ng Hongchen holding a thick stack of books or notes, reading with such intense concentration that she often didn't hear him, her own brother, calling her.
He could tolerate that. What truly made Xiao Hongchen's heart pound was the content of those books ng Hongchen was reading... He had secretly glanced at the covers and contents a few tis, and they were all titles like 'Detailed Explanations of Human ridians and Acupoints,' 'Treatise on the Circulation of Tendons, Bones, Qi, and Blood,' 'Preliminary Exploration of the Origin of Life'... and there was even 'Atlas of Human Physiological Structure'!
Even more alarming was during al tis.
Previously, his younger sister, though picky and preferring sweets, always had a good appetite.
But recently... several tis now, upon seeing the food on the table, her expression would crinkle into a frown, and she would cover her mouth, looking as if she was trying to suppress nausea and a gag reflex... Reading books about the human body... feeling like throwing up at the sight of at... running to Kong Mingan's place every day... These keywords flashed through Xiao Hongchen's Genius brain, and finally, a terrifying conclusion erged!
He couldn't hold back any longer. After lunch one day, Xiao Hongchen called soone aside.
"Kong Mingan, tell honestly! What have you done to my sister?"
Kong Mingan: "...?"
Kong Mingan listened to Xiao Hongchen's unprecedented seriousness and the hint of indignation in his words, and slowly ford a "¿" in his mind.
What had he done... wasn't it just compiling a set of teaching materials for her to study, then having her help record experintal data, occasionally explaining so basic Energy theories, and letting her start hands-on experints? What else could he have done?
"Don't play dumb!"
Seeing his "innocent" look, Xiao Hongchen beca even more furious, "ng has been reading those books on human ridians every day recently! She feels like throwing up at the sight of food! And she runs to your place all day long! You..."
Xiao Hongchen paused, his tone becoming serious:
"...You must take responsibility for her!"
"...Huh?"
Kong Mingan's thoughts uncharacteristically stalled for a mont.
Turning his head, Kong Mingan unconsciously cast his gaze towards the dining table not far away, only to see Miss ng frowning and pushing away the spicy rabbit head that had just been served.
His gaze swept back and forth several tis between Miss ng's distressed expression and the plate of spicy rabbit head, combined with Xiao Hongchen's phrase "reading books on human physiological structure"... A sowhat absurd, yet perfectly fitting chain of misunderstanding began to form in his mind.
"..."
Kong Mingan was at a loss for words for a mont, lightly rubbing his forehead, only feeling a mysterious headache.
Although Miss ng was indeed very cute, he wasn't so pervert. Having thoughts about the current Miss ng would be grounds for execution, alright!
Was this the typical precociousness of a Douluo? He had certainly witnessed it.
Sighing, he began to explain: "You're overthinking it, I really haven't done anything. As for why she feels like throwing up at the sight of food... "Perhaps it's because she's been having extra als every day these past few days?"
Since the spirit ring experints began, dozens of Soft Bones Rabbits had to die in the laboratory every day.
Throwing them away would be a waste, so, a hundred ways to eat rabbit ca into being... Because the cooking thods were novel and the taste was good, Miss ng had beco quite addicted to eating them these past few days.
With too many extra als, she naturally had no appetite for the main al.
"Extra als?"
Xiao Hongchen frowned, his expression still unconvinced.
You're telling this is the reaction one gets from having an extra al?! This guy really doesn't want to take responsibility, does he?!
He was about to open his mouth to accuse him again, but the next mont, Miss ng poked her head out from the side.
She glanced at Kong Mingan's helpless expression, then at her elder brother's face, which was full of anger and quite aggressive. In a mont, she ca to a conclusion.
"Brother, what are you trying to do again!"
Xiao Hongchen: "???"
No, younger sister? It's not what I'm trying to do, it's what this guy next to you is trying to do!
Xiao Hongchen tried to speak, but seeing his expression, ng Hongchen seed to understand sothing and directly hugged Kong Mingan's arm, pulling him back.
"Mingan is very good to , big brother. You just focus on your Cultivation, you don't need to worry about ."
With that, ng Hongchen directly pulled Kong Mingan away.
Xiao Hongchen watched the two leave, his expression slightly stiff, but he didn't stop them after all.
It wasn't that he was dissatisfied with soone; he simply felt that his younger sister was giving herself away too quickly, making her vulnerable to being taken advantage of... Still sowhat misunderstanding, Xiao Hongchen hesitated for a mont, and finally decided to tell his grandfather about this matter.
And then... just a few hours later, Kong Deming arrived at the laboratory with Jing Hongchen, just like that... With everything explained clearly, the misunderstanding was naturally resolved quickly.
After understanding the situation, Jing Hongchen, who had originally been unsure whether to be happy or sad, breathed a sigh of relief, then left with Xiao Hongchen and ng Hongchen.
For a ti, only the grandfather and grandson remained in the laboratory.
"...I really didn't expect you, Grandfather, to make a special trip because of this."
Looking at the dignified old man in front of him, Kong Mingan sighed softly.
"It concerns you after all, and moreover... this is not a small matter," Kong Deming said calmly.
"Uh..."
Kong Mingan inexplicably had a bad premonition.
As the sole descendant of the Kong Family at present, he was aware of many situations. A long ti ago, because the Kong Family had so Bloodline ties to the Sun Moon Imperial Family, they were naturally considered nobles, and thus their Bloodline flourished.
However, because the then-head of the Kong Family chose the wrong side, the Kong Family was directly purged. Only his grandfather survived because of his good personal relationship with the forr emperor.
From then on, his grandfather was the only Bloodline of the Kong Family, and after that, his father was born, grew up normally, and had him with his mother.
However, not long after he was born, his parents both died in a spirit tool experintal accident... Yes, it was a genuine accident, not soone else's malicious plot.
Because of this incident, he truly beca the sole descendant of the Kong Family, and his grandfather doted on him, holding him in his palm, fearing that anything might happen.
He had been watched over and raised like this until now.
But... with a slight hesitation, Kong Mingan tentatively spoke:
"Grandfather, you're not going to say that you want to revitalize the Kong Family Bloodline, are you?"
Kong Deming looked at Kong Mingan strangely, but shook his head, "Not so..."
Kong Mingan imdiately breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good..."
As he spoke, he unconsciously picked up a glass of water nearby and took a sip to moisten his throat.
"...It's just that Your Majesty intends to betroth a princess to you."
"Pfft—"
Kong Mingan, rarely losing his composure, turned his head, pointing a finger at himself, looking at his grandfather with so disbelief.
"No... huh?"
