Chapter 86 Crossdressing Yuan En Ye Hui
Gu Yuena felt a sense of crisis, but after thinking about Leng Yaozhu's words, she felt slightly relieved.
Indeed, she had watched the whole process and realized that, Lin Xiuran's method relied too heavily on his own Phoenix True Fire. Without this step, it would be completely impossible. Therefore, even if he successfully upgraded the thousand-year-old soul spirit to a ten-thousand-year-old soul spirit, it wouldn't affect the proposal.
After all, the Spirit Pagoda couldn't entrust the overall fate of a plan to one person; that would be too limiting for them.
Lin Xiuran didn't say anything. After finishing today's research, he glanced at Gu Yuena beside him, nodded slightly, then greeted Leng Yaozhu before leaving the laboratory.
He was very busy every day, living a very routine life, and recently he also had some things to keep in mind.
That was the person in charge of the Tang Sect, the one Teacher Wu mentioned. Although he didn't know exactly who it was, the incident back then was so big that there must be many people in the know. He believed that by subtly inquiring, he could still find some clues.
Inside Shrek Academy, with the start of the semester approaching, quite a few students were returning, and the number of people had increased considerably.
Lin Xiuran walked straight through the Spirit Ice Square and arrived at the work-study student dormitory.
Unsurprisingly, it was still very quiet and deserted. Even with the start of the semester approaching, not many people would visit, since the number of work-study students was limited.
Lin Xiuran arrived at a wooden house and gently knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
A cold, curt answer revealed that the person inside was definitely not someone easy to get along with.
Lin Xiuran was slightly taken aback, then said, "It's me, Lin Xiuran."
There was silence inside, but soon the wooden door creaked open.
The first thing revealed was the girl's stunningly beautiful face, her long, wine-red, damp hair adding to her ethereal beauty.
Lin Xiuran didn't recognize her at first, as Yuan En Ye Hui had always appeared as a man. But then he realized this must be her true form.
"Let's..." Lin Xiuran's words trailed off.
His pupils contracted slightly, then he turned his head, his voice deep and heavy, "Why aren't you dressed?"
"You're the one who's not dressed," Yuan En Ye Hui retorted, rolling her eyes. She wasn't naked, but rather wearing a white bathrobe that mostly covered her body, revealing nothing below her neck.
It wasn't surprising that Lin Xiuran reacted this way; he had never seen Yuan En Ye Hui as a woman before, and their first meeting was in a bathrobe.
The contrast was undeniably striking.
Yuan En Ye Hui chuckled, "What's wrong? Lin Xiuran, who's invincible among his peers, is so shy?"
"I remember you were quite glorious and imposing when you defeated the number one on the youth genius list. Why are you so timid now?"
Yuan En Ye Hui was just joking; she simply found it amusing that someone usually so aloof could have this side to him, so she teased him on purpose.
"Alright, enough joking. I just opened the door like this because I was afraid you'd be anxious. Besides, I'm dressed so conservatively; you're the one who's shy."
Lin Xiuran quickly composed himself and said calmly, "You're overthinking it. I just twisted my neck."
"Hmph." Yuan En Ye Hui snorted, then said, "Going to design mecha?"
Lin Xiuran nodded, exchanged a glance with her, then leaned against the side, his eyes flashing slightly.
"Wait for me to get dressed."
Yuan En Ye Hui quickly came out of the house again, this time in a long red dress, looking quite alluring.
Lin Xiuran was somewhat surprised: "Why are you dressed as a woman today?"
"I am a woman, can't I dress as a woman?" Yuan En Ye Hui retorted.
"Of course you can."
"Then let's go."
In the past few days, Lin Xiuran had been negotiating with Yuan En Ye Hui, since the other party was a level three mecha designer.
Coincidentally, Mu Ye was asking Lin Xiuran for blueprints, naturally for the purpose of building a mecha for him.
Lin Xiuran only needed to provide the design, and Mu Ye would handle everything else, but this wasn't free; Lin Xiuran needed to regularly provide his precious mecha with Phoenix True Fire.
So in the past few days, Lin Xiuran and Yuan En Ye Hui had been communicating a lot, discussing the mecha design blueprints and some details.
After all, mecha design is not a joke; it needs to be done within the correct framework, with personal touches added. In many places, Lin Xiuran would only add his own ideas after Yuan En Ye Hui's design was deemed reasonable, and whether these ideas could be implemented still needed Yuan En Ye Hui's approval.
After all, Mu Ye was only responsible for building the mecha, not for designing it.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiuran took this opportunity to learn from Yuan En Ye Hui about mecha design.
This would greatly benefit his future, as he needed a solid foundation for creating higher-level mechas.
Having a familiar mecha designer as a guide would undoubtedly make the learning process easier.
As usual, Lin Xiuran and Yuan En Ye Hui were discussing something.
"You go forge this first, leave the rest to me," Yuan En Ye Hui glanced at Lin Xiuran before immersing herself in the design. Yuan En Ye Hui wasn't
designing mechas for Lin Xiuran for free; she expected Lin Xiuran, a level five blacksmith, to contribute by forging some rare metals needed for the battle armor.
Lin Xiuran naturally went to the forging table to begin forging. It's worth noting that he had already broken through to level forty-nine and was about to reach level fifty.
This meant he was about to awaken a new elemental power, though not yet.
Gu Yuena told him that the new element would have significant drawbacks for Lin Xiuran, and she wouldn't easily attempt to awaken it without absolute certainty.
Anyway, it wouldn't have a major impact; like at level 40, he could accumulate soul power and then unleash it after a breakthrough, directly increasing his level by several levels in succession.
So there was no rush.
Lin Xiuran quickly began forging, his forging hammers flying, swiftly and powerfully striking the metal on the forging table.
Naturally, he chose to use Phoenix True Fire to aid in the forging.
However, Lin Xiuran didn't notice that the golden flames contained some invisible black.
And the aura slightly revealed by these golden flames after forging gradually flew towards Yuan En Ye Hui beside him.
Moreover, with each swing of Lin Xiuran's giant hammers, these small golden flames with black undertones were secretly surging into Yuan En Ye Hui's body.
