Chapter 342 The Bride of the Sea God (1)
Chapter 342 The Bride of the Sea God (1)
Xue Lin refused several times, but to no avail.
A daring colleague, taking advantage of a wedding celebration at his home, invited Xue Lin to his residence for a celebratory feast, drugged his wine, and then slipped his daughter into the guest room where he was resting.
Xue Lin saw through the other party's scheme, but kept quiet. After leaving through the window, he circled around and returned to the banquet as if nothing had happened to continue drinking.
After a few rounds of drinks, a tipsy Xue Lin grabbed his colleague's arm and started talking about his childhood in front of everyone.
A gambling father, a sick mother, a miserable childhood, and drafty walls.
To raise money for his mother's medical expenses, he jumped into the river to catch fish in the dead of winter when he was young, which frostbitten his body and caused him to be impotent as an adult.
"I have everything in my life, except for children." Xue Lin said, his eyes welling up with tears. "If any of you have a good remedy or a miracle doctor for treating impotence, please let me know."
The people present: "..."
Since then, no one has dared to mess with Xue Lin anymore.
After all, most of the Cao family's wealth was in Cao Shi's hands. The daughters of each family married into the family as Xue Lin's concubines, and only those who could give birth to a son or daughter had a say.
However, Xue Lin is impotent, so if his daughter marries into the family, she will not only have to live a life of widowhood, but she may also end up with no one to care for her in her old age, leading to a miserable situation.

At the age of sixty, Yan Zhen departed from this world.
She had just returned to the outside of the Quick Transmigration Bureau when she heard a noise behind her.
She turned around, and Jing Chen had just condensed his body and landed not far away.
Even though he quickly shed Xue Lin's skin and reverted to Jing Chen's appearance, Yan Zhen still noticed the deep, bone-revealing wound on his wrist.
She stood still until Jing Chen transformed into the young man with long black hair and blue eyes, then she asked, "Did you come back after committing suicide?"
Otherwise, given Xue Lin's physical condition, living to sixty or seventy years old in that world wouldn't be a problem.
Jing Chen didn't deny it: "Yes."
When did you regain your memory?
Jing Chen: "Just now."
Yan Zhen narrowed his eyes, pondering the truthfulness of his words.
Jing Chen noticed her confusion and said calmly, "I have no reason to lie to you. But you seem to have known from the beginning that Xue Lin is me."
Yan Zhen didn't deny it, and sighed softly: "I've gained experience."
After all, she had been entangled with him for several lifetimes, and now that he had appeared, she had a premonition.
"If you knew it was me, why did you save me?"
Yan Zhen pinched the bridge of his nose, his expression showing a hint of helplessness: "There's no way to avoid it, we can only face it calmly."
When she was doing the mission in Lin Xun's world, she was already very careful to avoid anyone who resembled Jing Chen's divine consciousness. Who knew that he would appear in the form of a girl.
Yan Zhen finally understood that as long as Jing Chen didn't give up on her, she wouldn't be able to completely avoid him in the three thousand worlds he created.
Since that's the case, she decided to just do as she pleased, doing the same things she did before.
We can't become paranoid just to avoid encountering Jing Chen, and avoid contact with anyone who might be him.
The problem isn't with her, yet she's forced to change herself; that's unfair.
Moreover, this will also affect her task completion rate.
Jing Chen suddenly said, "In that world, you were very good to me..."
Yan Zhen interrupted him: "You can think of it as me making it up to you."
In previous worlds, due to his own influence, he did not live to a peaceful end, and forcibly ending his life also had a certain impact on the repair of his divine consciousness.
In the previous world, she recognized him early on, raised him like a younger brother, and provided him with the best living conditions, intending to make amends to him.
Jing Chen remained silent for a few seconds, then said "Oh," his tone tinged with disappointment.
The two looked at each other speechlessly.
Before the atmosphere could become even stranger, Yan Zhen turned and walked towards the gate of the Quick Transmigration Division: "Let's go back."
Jing Chen immediately followed.
The two entered the Quick Transmigration Bureau one after the other, and then went their separate ways.
Jing Chen originally intended to return to the restoration room, but when he passed Zhou Yanqing's office, he paused and then pushed open the door.
Zhou Yanqing wasn't there; only Xiao Lan was inside, idly playing Spider Solitaire on his computer.
Upon seeing Jing Chen, Xiao Lan, like an employee caught slacking off at work by the boss, quickly closed the game interface: "Master, God, you're back."
Jing Chen ignored his subtle movements and asked, "Where is Zhou Yanqing?"
"The master has taken leave."
"Taking leave?" Jing Chen raised an eyebrow. The Quick Transmigration Division's well-known workaholics and workaholics were actually willing to take leave.
Xiao Lan said, "As you know, the master's girlfriend, Miss Li, is also on a mission. The next mission is in the supernatural world. He was worried that Miss Li wouldn't be able to handle it, so he took leave to help her."
Jing Chen: "..."
Xiao Lan asked, "Is there something you need from my master?"
Jingchen originally wanted Xiaolan to convey a few words to Zhou Yanqing, but when he saw its clear eyes and empty head, he gave up the idea.
He walked into the office, tore off a sticky note from the table, and quickly scribbled a message on it.
"Love is about companionship, not possession. I think I understand what that means now."

Yan Zhen rested for two days at the Quick Transmigration Division before moving on to the next mission.
Waking up in her new body, she opened her eyes to find herself in the cabin of a luxury yacht.
Hearing faint sounds of laughter and diving, Yan Zhen sat up in bed and pushed open the door from the cabin to the balcony.
The yacht was moored on the sea. The sky was clear and cloudless. Several young men and women in swimsuits were playing in the water.
Upon seeing her emerge, one of the women, a stunning beauty with a tanned, healthy wheat-colored complexion, waved to her: "Xiaxia, are you feeling better? Still dizzy?"
Yan Zhen paused for a moment, then said, "Much better."
"There's food in the living room. Go get something to eat so you don't get low blood sugar again."
"it is good."
After observing the surrounding environment without making a sound and confirming that there was no danger, Yan Zhen returned to the cabin and went to the restroom to wash his face.
A young face was reflected in the bathroom mirror—the original owner was a girl around twenty years old, with delicate features, a petite figure, long straight black hair, and frameless glasses perched on her nose. From her clothing to her overall demeanor, she exuded the words "harmless."
After washing his face, Yan Zhen walked to the living room in the cabin, turned on the TV, ate something while watching, and went through the strategy guide in the system.
The original owner's name was Si Xia, she was twenty years old this year, a rich second generation, and was currently a sophomore at Shengjing Marine Biology Research University.
The Si family is one of the top financial groups in Shengjing, and it operates a marine biology research institute that specializes in the research and development of a marine creature—mermaid.
Mermaids are precious but not rare in this world. Since their existence was discovered hundreds of years ago, the exploitable value of this creature has been developed to the extreme.
Mermaid blood is a top-quality aphrodisiac and virility enhancer, and the extracted fish oil is a beauty and skincare product that can lighten blemishes and wrinkles. Long-term consumption of mermaid meat can also prolong life, and some docile mermaids are even domesticated as pets for humans to keep and play with.
