Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 943: Chapter 943 I Am Sick

Lin Shen and An Yi had a long chat. An Yi held no malice towards him; instead, he said things that Lin Shen hadn’t anticipated, helping him analyze the current situation.

If Lin Shen had no intention to leave Sky Pinnacle Star, then An Yi’s purpose this time was to persuade him to depart from Sky Pinnacle Star.

Lin Shen had already prepared to leave, which made An Yi appreciate him even more.

Lin Shen’s reputation on Sky Pinnacle Star was too high, and the Chi Family had always been guarding from outside. Many families on Sky Pinnacle Star knew very little about Chi Yi, nor did they get along well with the Chi Family.

No one expected that Emperor Tianshu would fall, nor that An Yi would be seriously injured. It was assumed that things would remain stable for a few more centuries. Previously, no one took the Chi Family seriously.

If Chi Yi were to come back to take over the position of Heavenly Emperor, the one most likely to be suppressed first would undoubtedly be Lin Shen, whose reputation was at its peak.

This was almost an inevitability, given Lin Shen’s backing from Tian Jue Manor, his position as Dean of the Celestial Master Institute, and his own reputation.

Even if Chi Yi didn’t want to suppress him after becoming the Heavenly Emperor, there would still be others continuously instigating trouble until the New Heavenly Emperor developed a dissatisfaction towards Lin Shen.

Even if Chi Yi wasn’t the one who took over the throne, whoever succeeded would likely end up doing the same thing; it was just a matter of time.

An Yi did not want Lin Shen to become an enemy of the Celestial Race, nor did he want him to move far away to another race, so returning to Giant Ring Star was the most acceptable option for An Yi.

In this way, Lin Shen would both have a deep connection with the Celestial Race and avoid conflicts with the New Heavenly Emperor and the major family interest groups, minimizing risks.

However, both An Yi and Lin Shen were aware that it was impossible for there to be no impact at all; with the New Heavenly Emperor ascending the throne, interests would inevitably be redistributed, affecting even An Family’s First Mansion.

When leaving, Lin Shen asked An Yi, “Is it worth it?” to which An Yi simply replied, “A laid piece does not regret.”

If they hadn’t plotted against the hidden hand behind the fatal calamity, and Emperor Tianshu was still around, and An Yi hadn’t been injured, he could have still enjoyed a thousand years of fame among the Celestial Race; now, it wasn’t so easy.

Lin Shen returned home and saw Kong Chuan and Heavenly Consort Kong Lin chatting in the courtyard; both stood up when they saw Lin Shen return.

Heavenly Consort did not return to the Imperial Palace but was staying at Lin Shen’s place, showing that she didn’t plan to return to the Imperial Palace either.

In fact, her return would be futile; once Emperor Tianshu was gone, and someone not from his lineage took over, all princes and imperial consorts, even the serving staff, would be removed from the Imperial Palace when the new Emperor took the throne.

Fortunately, the Celestial Race had too much experience with this; they had a complete system, and the new Emperor taking the throne wouldn’t lead to slaughtering the old Emperor’s relatives and kin; this wisdom and lesson were bought with blood.

“How is the situation outside?” asked the Heavenly Consort.

“If nothing unexpected happens, the New Heavenly Emperor will be Chi Yi. I plan to resign from the Celestial Master Institute and return to Giant Ring Star. You should also prepare early,” Lin Shen said.

“I thought it would be him,” The Heavenly Consort seemed to have anticipated this response and did not show surprise but looked at Lin Shen and said, “If possible, could the Chief of the Heavenly Institute provide us refuge? We are willing to follow you to Giant Ring Star.”

Lin Shen was slightly taken aback, not expecting the Heavenly Consort to propose following him to Giant Ring Star.

“You don’t plan to return to the Peacock Clan?” Lin Shen asked in surprise.

If Emperor Tianshu truly couldn’t return, his consorts had the freedom to choose where to go, but if they left Sky Pinnacle Star, they would no longer enjoy the benefits given by the Celestial Race.

The Heavenly Consort looked seriously at Lin Shen, “The Cosmic era of chaos has arrived; no place is safe. The Peacock Clan will likely not be able to avoid involvement eventually; we must become part of it. In such chaotic times, everyone needs a patron, and we choose you as our patron. We, along with the Peacock Clan, will also become your most reliable support.”

“Heavenly Consort, could we talk privately?” Lin Shen thought for a moment and said.

“There won’t be a Heavenly Consort anymore, call me Kong Lin.” Kong Lin asked Kong Chuan to leave first as she wanted to know what exactly Lin Shen wanted to discuss.

“I do not have ambitions to dominate the universe. If you wish to place your bets on me, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed,” Lin Shen said.

“That is not an issue, we just seek stability,” Kong Lin said.

Lin Shen naturally didn’t believe the platitudes Kong Lin was saying; if she truly wanted只 stability, staying on Sky Pinnacle Star was actually a very good choice.

The Celestial Race still took very good care of the family and children of the previous Heavenly Emperor; there were specific laws to care for the family of a past Heavenly Emperor.

However, since Kong Lin said so, he didn’t argue and continued, “You can develop on Giant Ring Star as well, but I have one condition.”

“Speak,” Kong Lin said, somewhat relieved that Lin Shen was willing to set conditions, which indicated he was willing to accept the Peacock Clan.

“I have a rather strange disease,” Lin Shen said thoughtfully.

“What kind of disease?” Kong Lin knew that they weren’t at the heart of the matter yet.

“This disease, well, it’s strange. It’s not fatal, but it can make one extremely uncomfortable,” Lin Shen said, organizing his words. “I don’t think you’d believe it if I told you, but if I don’t sleep with a woman whom I’ve never been in contact with before every once in a while, my body will feel incredibly painful and uncomfortable. Most importantly, I would lose the ability to sleep, as if I’ve lost the capability to sleep, unable to sleep for months. The agony that comes with it is something normal people would never understand.”

“You want to sleep with me?” Kong Lin’s words were much more succinct.

“It’s not exactly like that; it’s just for treatment, nothing more than holding each other while sleeping,” Lin Shen said sincerely.

Kong Lin clearly didn’t believe his words, but she calmly responded, “I can accompany you in sleep, but I have a condition too.”

“Say it,” Seeing how straightforward Kong Lin was, Lin Shen no longer minces his words.

“I’ve already been married once, and I don’t expect you to marry me officially, nor do I need any ceremony, but I need some assurance. On Giant Ring Star, designate an autonomous region for me where I can settle people from the Peacock Clan,” Kong Lin said.

“You probably misunderstood; I just need treatment, nothing else,” Lin Shen said helplessly.

“No matter what it is, I only have this one request,” Kong Lin insisted.

“Fine, I agree, but you mustn’t tell anyone about this,” Lin Shen no longer hesitated.

After all, there were many undeveloped areas on Giant Ring Star, and setting aside an area for Kong Lin wasn’t much.

Even if Kong Lin didn’t say it, if she truly brought the entire Peacock Clan to seek refuge, he would still have to provide them with an area to live.

“Words are not proof; we need a written agreement,” Kong Lin took out a pen and paper.
