The Favored Son of Heaven

“Then, once we successfully retreat and safely…”

Qin Fen adjusted his emotions and tried to induce her again.

“Continue training and wait for the next mission.”

Lin Ling’s answer made Qin Fen feel a little bit frantic.

He had to wonder what kind of military family Lin Ling was born into that trained a woman into this state.

“That isn’t a wish.” Qin Fen explained again, “A wish is a thing that your heart wants to realize.”

Without second thought, Lin Ling answered, “No.”

As long as she is a human, he will have desire. The biggest point of psychology is to discover the other party’s desire.

Squad Leader Hao’s words were still echoing in Qin Fen’s ears. He adjusted his emotions once again and treated the mission to induce Lin Ling’s emotions as an opportunity to improve his psychology cultivation.

“Is there anything you craving for?”

“No.”

“Any clothes that you want to wear?”

“No.”

“Any place that you want to visit?”

“No.”

“Wonderful martial arts that you want to learn?”

“No.”

“Any people that you want to meet?”

“No.”

Qin Fen rubbed his forehead and temples gently. Does this Lin Ling really have no desire at all? Did she reach the level of seeing the four elements of the world as void?

…

After a short silence, Qin Fen took a long breath, “Let’s take the mission as an example then. If you don’t laugh happily, the mission might fail.”

“Fail…” Although Lin Ling’s tone was very cold, even without any emotion, Qin Fen could sense that she did not want to fail, or was extremely repulsed by failure.

“So, you have to learn how to smile happily.” Qin Fen made a conclusion.

“How to be happy.” Lin Ling brought the discussion back to the starting point.

This time, Qin Fen was well prepared. Again, he said, “Imagine, if you know how to smile happily, how would it feel like?”

…

Lin Ling remained silent. Her facial expression seemed like she was having deep thought but nothing showed in her eyes.

Qin Fen marveled in his heart. What kind of strange martial art did she practice? How could it obliterate all emotions that a human should have from her?

Would it be the strange Petrifaction Arts? Qin Fen’s mind suddenly flashed back to a legend about a strange martial art that once appeared in the Sky Martial Battle Network.

It was rumored that Petrifaction Arts was a very eccentric martial art. Its cultivation art was divided into nine turns. Upon completion, the whole body could transform into stone. Any weapon would hardly hurt their body, and the person would be invincible in the world.

In certain aspects, the Steel Battle Body of the modern martial art was developed from this legendary paleo martial art.

However, in order to cultivate the legendary Petrifaction Arts, the practitioner must be a virgin with Black Yin [1] body. She would become a cold-blooded person without any emotion upon completion.

“Would it be as happy as what you said?”

Lin Ling’s words sounded like it was inquiring but it also sounded like answering.

Qin Fen could only nod, “Yes.”

Lin Ling also nodded, as if she agreed with Qin Fen’s statement.

“So.” Qin Fen sighed, “If you have time, think about it, how happy you would be after you know how to smile.”

“Alright.” Lin Ling nodded and turned the topic, “And my voice, doesn’t it sounds gentle and happy? I have analyzed it recently by using the music player software downloaded from the internet. My timbre can get Oscar Awards.”

Qin Fen had a headache. What is the military and police thinking? They should select carefully before they send me a partner.

Select carefully? Qin Fen could only shake his head again and again. It was not that the military district did not select carefully. After he joined the army, there were not many women that he knew. The one who came in handy at this moment was only Lin Ling. Her strength alone made her a worthy candidate.

Qin Fen looked at Lin Ling who was pretty and powerful and shook his head continuously, sighing that no one is perfect in this world.

“Do you know what happiness is?” Qin Fen threw out this question and suddenly felt that the question was not suitable.

What is happiness? Even many normal modern people do not really understand how happiness is defined. How could Lin Ling who almost has no emotion at all know?

“I know this.”

When Lin Ling spoke, Qin Fen was shocked. This woman was indeed always out of his expectation.

“Happiness is that cats eat fish, dogs eat meat, and Ultraman beats little monsters.”

Looking at Lin Ling saying words from a long time ago from the internet with her serious face, Qin Fen could not imagine how wonderful his facial expression was.

He did not expect that Lin Ling would tell such a lame joke with such a serious face.

Qin Fen assessed Lin Ling carefully, and realized that she had no intention to joke. She seemed like a primary student who was answering teacher’s question seriously.

Thinking about how Lin Ling answered him seriously, Qin Fen felt even more incredulous.

Even though Squad Leader Hao had trained him to be mentally strong enough, Qin Fen still asked with uncertainty, “What did you say? Are those your heartfelt words? Where did you get the answer for the definition of happiness?”

“Internet.” Lin Ling replied promptly, “The information states that we are a happy couple. I must know what is happiness.”

“Understood.” Qin Fen nodded slowly, “It seems like you don’t fully understand what true happiness is.”

After glancing at the clock on the wall, Qin Fen walked out of the bathroom and said, “Change your clothes, we are going out. Perhaps you’d been living in a monotonous environment for too long. Let’s visit the night market and see what can we foster.”

In a short while, Lin Ling put on her military uniform again.

Lin Ling’s showed a heroic spirit in her military uniform. Her glamorous and cold look could arouse men’s desire to conquer her easily.

Qin Fen shook his head, “Change into another outfit, there should be other clothes in the wardrobe right?”

A few moments later, Lin Ling put on a white yarn skirt and red cotton T-shirt. The flimsy clothes showed her ample breasts while her perfectly round butt drew a seductive curve under her short skirt. Her long and well-shaped legs were not covered by stockings. White and delicate bare thighs were so sexy.

As Lin Ling walked out from the bedroom, the whole living room seemed to be brightened by her appearance.

Qin Fen could not help but being astounded. He never expect this Lin Ling, who looked a bit dull, was actually quite good at dressing up. It seemed like women were born with the ability to dress up. Although she became so dull due to unknown reason, there was no degradation in this skill.

“How? Still cannot?” Lin Ling began to doubt that whether the information online was all fake. This dressing style was from the fashion post that received numerous praises online.

“No, this is very good.”

Qin Fen walked toward the door. Lin Ling hurried to take two steps forward and hugged his arm as if she was a timid and lovable woman.

Qin Fen couldn’t adapt to such actions. He admired Lin Ling’s psychological quality. She was so open and professional in pretending to be a couple compared to him.

They left the house, locked the door, went downstairs, called a taxi, went to the night market…

Anyway, all the expenses were to be paid by the government. Qin Fen had no scruples about spendings for the time being.

Strolling in the busy night market, Lin Ling again showed her difference from the other women. She turned a blind eye on those cute accessories and beautiful clothes along the road. She had no interest at all to those stuff.

“Look at this, don’t you like these accessories?” Qin Fen was quite curious. Even though she was not interested in accessories, there must be something in the night market that could catch her eyes.

Even Qin Fen could find his favourite items among these glittering merchants. He did not believe that Lin Ling did not like anything.

Lin Ling glanced at the merchants and answered plainly, “In battle, these are all burden that will hinder me.”

Qin Fen looked at Lin Ling as if he was looking at a monster. Who was the one who trained Lin Ling? What kind of education did he use? He could train such a person so that she didn’t have any preferences? She measured everything by usefulness in battle.

“Let’s play some games then.” Qin Fen had no choice. He could only bring Lin Ling into a large shopping mall.

As the society developed, the flourishing big city had led to richer material aspect in lifestyle. Any large shopping mall would have an Amusement Arcade.

Qin Fen paid for a hundred tokens and the cashier gave him a receipt under a strange gaze. Then, he brought Lin Ling into this Amusement Arcade full of amazing sound effects.

“Let’s play The House of Death X.”

Qin Fen briefed the usage of the game prop’s “gun” and inserted tokens quickly.

Soon, many passersby stopped to watch their game progress.

Qin Fen was trained to be gun expert. Thus, no matter if it was a real, fake, or toy gun, he was able to play well. Apparently, Lin Ling had never played a game before. However, her performance was not poorer than Qin Fen. She seemed to have innate talent in games.

Their precise marksmanship enabled them to headshot the zombies all the time. The game proceeded swiftly under their intrepid attack.

They cleared the game with only a single try.

It seemed impossible for many people, but they achieved it easily.

Qin Fen only realized that there were more than a dozen people watching at them after he put down the game props. Lin Ling, as usual, was neither curious nor shy.

“Interesting?”

“No.”

Qin Fen felt no surprise at all when he heard Lin Ling’s comment.

According to the plan, he should make her to take everything for granted and feel nothing special.

Qin Fen changed to car racing game and said, “Just now we were cooperating, now let’s compete.”

“Sure.” Lin Ling sat down into the seat. She was so focused on the screen that she did not notice Qin Fen in another seat smiling with complacency.

Lin Ling was good in car racing as a newbie. Almost no experienced player in this Amusement Arcade could be her competitor.
