I'm Pretending to Cultivate in Kindergarten

Chapter 137: Chapter 128: The Transmigrated Fox Spirit (2)

[Furthermore, during the competition, you took the opportunity to meet with the betrothed your family had arranged for you. You had assumed your fiancée was the Eldest Princess, Jiang Qian, but to your surprise, the one who came to meet you was the Imperial City Empress herself.]

[It turns out she was the wife your family had arranged for you.]

[As a monarch of her generation, the Imperial City Empress greatly appreciated your talents. During your conversation, an accident caused the Imperial City Empress to fall into your arms. You marveled at how soft and sweet-scented the Empress’s body was.]

Lin Zhengran: ”????”

[She invited you to stop wandering the world, to stay by her side forever, and promised you a generous reward in return.]

[You knew, of course, that this was a choice. However, the opportunities and treasures of the Jianghu are far greater than the wealth and opportunities within a single country. Moreover, you were unwilling to be controlled by others, so you decisively refused the Human Emperor Empress’s invitation. She was slightly disappointed.]

[But because she was curious about you, she wasn’t angry. Instead, she promised to be your friend and to never actively oppose you in the future. She even said that if it weren’t for her imperial duties, she would have considered wandering the world with you. But some things are not meant to be if fate has not yet decreed it.]

[You parted ways with the Imperial City Empress and continued on your journey with Miss Jiang, awaiting the results of the competition.]

[It may seem like you didn’t gain much from this encounter—only that Miss Jiang’s strength improved, granting you a double reward. However, a friendship with the Human Emperor Empress is not something an ordinary person can have. What’s more, you are unaware that as she spoke to you, she unknowingly sent a thread of affection into your body.]

[Monarchs have been said to be incapable of love since ancient times, yet she sent the last remaining thread of affection in her being into you. This proves that the bond of fate between you is not broken. It also proves that for her, if she had a choice, you would be the only one. The future of your path together remains unknown.]

[From this competition, you have gained: Spiritual Qi Level +2, Physical Strength +5, Strength +5, Energy +5.]

[Your current Spiritual Qi Level is 55.] [Qi Refining Stage]

[Your current attributes are:]

[Strength: 85] [Unlocked: Strength will no longer decay and you are immune to disease.]

[Energy: 73] [Unlocked: Ability for strong offspring and to go seven times in one night.]

[Physical Strength: 74] [Upon reaching 70, you unlock the special ability of double Physical Strength and triple endurance for tasks.] [Unlocked]

[Affinity for All Things: Level 1] [Basic Affinity: You can quickly master anything, far surpassing ordinary people.]

[New - You have obtained the special ability of double Physical Strength and triple endurance. From now on, your body will no longer feel fatigue unless you’ve been in an extremely intense battle.]

[Furthermore, your body’s core has been strengthened, your Spiritual Qi Level has increased by another two, and when performing focused work, your physical concentration and endurance will be tripled.]

[Due to this breakthrough in endurance, your lifespan will increase, and it will continue to increase further along with your Physical Strength.]

[Moreover, your endurance will have a wondrous, dream-like reaction with your Energy’s ”seven times in one night” ability. As long as you frequently show affection to your wives, not only will their aging slow, but their lifespans will also increase according to the frequency of your... *activities*. However, since this gift comes from you, their ultimate limit will still be bound by yours.]

[Your current Spiritual Qi Level is 57.]

Listening to the system rattle on and on like beans pouring from a bamboo tube, Lin Zhengran could feel that his body’s strength had increased by another huge leap.

He was level 57 now, just three more levels to 60. Then he would be able to unlock a new Talent Skill.

’And I’m only a freshman in high school,’ he thought. ’This is much faster than I expected.’

’By the time I get to college, my level might be far higher than I imagined.’

Just then, a message popped up on his phone. It was from Han Wenwen.

Lin Zhengran knew this little fox was getting impatient. She had already sent him three or four messages since the competition ended this afternoon.

He really had been too busy to see her these past two days, though.

So, without any further delay, Lin Zhengran headed straight to Han Wenwen’s house to see what she’d been up to.

Walking into the familiar residential complex, Lin Zhengran arrived at the door of a certain fox’s apartment.

He knocked on the door.

”Zhengran?!” Han Wenwen’s voice from inside sounded joyful, but it quickly switched to a pouting, jealous tone. ”You can just come in, you don’t have to knock.”

Lin Zhengran took out his key and opened the door.

The moment he stepped into the apartment, he was hit by a strong fragrance.

It was Han Wenwen’s scent, an indescribably enchanting aroma.

When he was with her often, the scent wasn’t so overpowering, but after just a few days apart, this bewitching fragrance always seemed especially potent.

But besides that scent, there was another smell in the room today... the smell of fried chicken.

Lin Zhengran looked up, his brow furrowing slightly.

He saw Han Wenwen in the room, dressed in a *hanfu* like an ancient maiden. The red and white robe was cut in such a way that her pair of jade-like legs were revealed, straight and slender.

She was standing in front of a small wok, learning how to fry chicken cutlets.

Her hair was different too, styled in a very retro fashion that truly made her look like a fox who had taken human form. It wasn’t jarring at all; in fact, it went surprisingly well with her outfit, her long hair falling like a waterfall of black silk over her shoulders and back.

The first thought that popped into Lin Zhengran’s mind was ”Demon Sect Witch.”

”Did you time-travel? When did you get back?” Lin Zhengran asked.

Han Wenwen glanced at Lin Zhengran with her foxy eyes, a charming smile playing on her lips. ”Just got back, Young Master Lin. Remember to close the door.”

Lin Zhengran had no idea what she was up to, but this was typical Han Wenwen. She was rarely normal for more than a few days at a time.

He walked over.

He watched as Han Wenwen turned off the stove and used a spatula to cut off a small, thin piece of the chicken cutlet.

She then speared it with a toothpick and held it to Lin Zhengran’s lips. ”Ahh~ Young Master Lin, have a taste of our Demon Race’s pheasant. It’s delicious.”

Lin Zhengran looked down at Han Wenwen’s outfit, and with her current expression, her appearance was even more soul-stirring than usual. But Lin Zhengran was, after all, no ordinary person.

He opened his mouth and took a bite.

Han Wenwen asked, ”How is it?”

Lin Zhengran replied, ”It’s okay. Just a little burnt.”

Han Wenwen shot Lin Zhengran a glare, huffed, and cut a piece for herself, instantly breaking character. ”Zhengran, you’re lying~ I’ve been practicing all day. Let me try it myself.”

She put a piece in her mouth, tasted it carefully, and then said with some disappointment, ”It does seem a little burnt... Am I really just not cut out for cooking?”

Lin Zhengran sat on the bed and looked at the messy pile of *hanfu* packaging. ”Did you buy this outfit online?”

Han Wenwen walked over to Lin Zhengran and spun around in front of him. ”I was out shopping today and saw a clothing store was open. I went in and found this outfit. What do you think? Isn’t it pretty?”

This time, Lin Zhengran gave his honest opinion. ”With that outfit, all you need is a few tails and you’d look like a real fox spirit.”
