Arriving at the Lin clan - 2

Keith was no genius in courting women, heck he hasn't even had a friend up until this day.

"Miss, what's your name?"

Using his minimal communication skills, he was endeavouring to initiate a conversation.

" Lin XiuRong "

Keith was shocked to hear the girl's immediate response.

" Are you the young lady of the clan? "

" No "

Once again, an immediate reply came from the girl. It was so quick that she probably even predicted what he was asking.

" Ugh.. then.."

" Maid "

This time she literally answered even before Keith started asking the question.

' That's... awkward '

Keith could clearly see the conversation wasn't going well.

By now he had realized that getting her to open up would be a challenge, not to mention trying to capture her.

' Huh... maybe I'll give it a shot tomorrow '

His mind was already exhausted from everything that happened today, so Keith decided not to stress over this matter. He had planned to stay here for a while, so it wasn't like he didn't have any time.

Trailing behind her for a while, Keith suddenly started hearing a third pair of footsteps.

* Tap..! * * Tap..! * * Tap...! * * Tap..! * * Tap..! *

The sound was very distinct and he could discern that it wasn't from either of them.

Wondering who it was, Keith turned around only to see something that completely astonished him.

' Holy... '

* Ding..! *

Walking towards him was a girl just as beautiful as the one beside him.

* Woosh..! *

As she walked towards him, her long, lustrous pink hair fluttered in the wind. She looked at him with her dazzling red eyes and smiled enigmatically.

Each of her steps radiated elegance, she had a charm that was completely opposite to Lin XiuRong.

While Lin XiuRong was like the reminiscent of winter, with its cold, harsh, and yet beautiful nature. She was more like a fragment of spring blossom, colorful and heartwarming.

Most people would think that these two completely contrasting elements would not be right together, but Keith could certainly tell that all these people had not seen what he saw.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of his eyes, Keith was completely lost.

He was so lost that he didn't even realise when the lady quickly overtook them, causing Lin XiuRong to stop in response, and him to almost bump into her.

" Hey there Rong Rong.... "

The girl greeted Lin XiuRong with a wave of her hand, while glancing at Keith and checking him thoroughly from top to bottom.

" Rong Rong, who is this handsome guy with you? "

While she said that, she smiled at Keith, without even trying to hide the fact that she was ogling at him.

' Master was right, women of this world are beasts. It's good that I covered my face.'

In his previous life, Keith himself never had the guts to look at a woman upside down, all because of his low self-esteem.

Now that he and developed guts, these shameless women themselves keep ogling at him, not even giving him a chance.

" Is he a friend of yours? "

Until now, everything appeared normal, but suddenly, her voice didn't have the same intent and friendliness as it had before. Rather than asking a question, her words sounded like a warning.

' A Villainess? '

As he looked at the cat fight that was about to start, this was the only thing that came to his mind was.

' So wonderful '

' Are they going to fight over me? '

Looking at the show in front of him, his eyes were gleaming with excitement. Never before, he imagined that two absolutely stunning beauties would fight over him.

Unfortunately, his fantasies crumbled just the next second.

Unlike her cold and desolate self, Lin XiuRong appeared to be particularly scared.

" I... Ugh...! "

She was stammering while speaking, while struggling to stay calm.

" He is a guest. "

" Is that so? "

As she stared at Lin XiuRong, she curled her face into a typical villainous smile, but she couldn't do it correctly. It looks strange and amusing.

' That's disappointing...'

Observing the situation, anyone would conclude that Lin XiuRong was being bullied, or something along those lines, but Keith wasn't one of those people.

Call it trust issues, but due to some previous experiences, he has a hard time making an opinion on things without thoroughly checking them by himself.

As their little show ended, the lady turned towards him and, with a sweet smile, placed her hand in front of him, while saying.

" Greetings, myself Lin XiuYing. "

....

In a short while, the greetings ended.

As they exchanged names, Keith learned that she was the youngest daughter, or young miss, of the Lin family. After a while, seeing that Keith was tired and needed rest, Lin XiuYing unwillingly let him go.

" Good night Keith "

Just within a short while, Lin XiuYing became quite friendly with Keith, which honestly felt weird for him.

" And yeah... "

" Rong Rong, make sure to take good care of our guests. You don't want him to think that the Lin family doesn't train their servants well. "

Keith clearly understood that she was mocking Lin XiuRong for being a servant, but honestly, he couldn't understand why she was doing this in front of him.

' Girly, are you sure you like me? '

Maybe Keith was being delusional, but after seeing her behavior, Keith concluded that she probably liked him.

' If you do this, aren't you worried that I would sympathize with your opponent? '

There were two conclusions that Keith came up with: one is that she is either dumb, or secondly, she wants him to hate her.

' Huh... That doesn't even make sense now. '

Keith was not a big fan of these dramas, and now it's clear why.

" bye..!"

She waved her hand as she left, and Keith followed suit.

....

Soon enough, both of them arrived at the guest room. Well, it wasn't just a single room, but rather a block, almost the size of an apartment. Lin XiuRong escorted him around, and a maid brought him a pair of clothes. Although he had his own clothes, he decided to wear them.

After Lin XiuRong and the maids left, Keith decided to take a bath.

" The fact that there's electricity here is surprising. "

Though the water connection was understandable, since there was a river near by, but even electricity, Keith was quite surprised.

" They probably have solar panels or something. "

As isolated as this place was, there was no way there were electric poles providing electricity here, so that's the only possible explanation he could come up with.

" System, show the notification "

As he looked at the screen, Keith was shocked.

" That's, are they sisters? But didn't she say that she was a servant? "

" Ughh.. Really, what the hell is going on here? "

Though he was happy that he finally triggered a big mission, but looking at the mission he was getting a bit tensed. Solving conflicts and courting girls, he was no good at anything. So honestly, he had no idea what he was going to do.

" And this lady should be the matriarch. "

Seeing that the matriarch was also a capture target, his excitement about seeing her increased even more.

" Well, I guess I will have to wait for tomorrow. "

....

Shortly after finishing the bath, Keith was laying on the bed waiting for his dinner to arrive.

For some reason, he ended up wearing his mask again.

' Huh... Really, if this went on. I will probably become my old self again. '

Realizing that he unconsciously wore that mask again, Keith wanted to remove it, but then thinking something fun, he decided to let it be for a while.

[Celestial Seven Core Spiritual Body

Type:- Spritual Body

Rank:- Ex

- A weaker version of the spiritual body of the Primordial Gods.

- ???

- ???

- ??? ]

Looking at the half-assed discription, Keith wasn't even surprised. Apart from a name and a one-line description, he couldn't read anything about this spiritual body.

' System, do you know anything about this spiritual body? '

[The spiritual bodys could be described as a complete version of the spiritual veins.]

[Spiritual Veins mostly only affect the cultivation speed and in some cases the strength of the elements you can harness.]

[The spiritual body encompasses your spiritual veins, core, spiritual senses, spiritual consciousness, and many other things.]

To Keith, it basically sounded like an absolute game-breaking cheat.

' System, can I absorb it now '

After hearing all this, Keith was quite excited to absorb this spiritual body.

[Host, there is actually a problem. Whether it is spiritual veins or spiritual bodies, fusing them is a quiet risky and tedious process.]

[Though the system will help you, without something to soothe all the damage that will happen to your soul, you probably won't be able to absorb it.]

' And where could I buy such treasure? '

Keith was in quite a hurry, he wanted to absorb it before he would actually start his cultivation and there wasn't much time for that

[Host the quest reward, it's actually a spiritual treasure.]

' Looks like I have to complete this quest at any cost. '

* Knock..! * * Knock..! * * Knock..! *

" Enter. "

....

As the door opened, Lin XiuRong followed by two other maids entered with food.

Quickly placing the food on the table at the corner of the room the servants are gone.

" Mister, is there anything else you want? "

Lin XiuRong, who was standing there respectfully, asked.

" Oh.. I do actually. "

As he said that, he had a slightly mischievous smile, which Lin XiuRong couldn't see, all thanks to the mask.

" I want you "
