This Lord is Very Scientific

Chapter 461 - 400: The Financial Goddess Selling Fruits_2

Even if Ove is a legendary [Enlightenment Teacher], it doesn’t matter!"Andrew’s Leg..." Lin Ke couldn’t understand what the Dark Maiden was up to, but if it continued like this...

No, it’s not right.

Rica!

"Rica... Rica... My Rica..."

Lin Ke painfully held his head, no longer sitting cross-legged, he hugged his knees, letting out low growls like a wounded beast.

But at that moment, a voice filled with disappointment, yet tinged with anger sounded.

"Am I truly so unbearable to look at?"

This is...

Xiangnai?

Suddenly, Lin Ke’s mind was flooded with memories of Xiangnai.

Rica was his everything in love.

But when Xiangnai abandoned the god she once followed to become his follower, what was the reason?

Back then, he was only Count Linke, a noble without a territory, not yet a lord.

No wealth, no power, nothing at all.

But Xiangnai began communicating with him time and time again without him realizing when it started.

Xiangnai said she felt respected because he never looked at papayas.

But Lin Ke knew it wasn’t just that.

Right, papaya?

Lin Ke’s thoughts and memories about Xiangnai gradually evolved.

The teachings and gestures of those Enlightenment Teachers from a previous life gradually surfaced in his mind.

Xiangnai collided and compared with the Enlightenment Teachers.

Indeed, in every aspect, Xiangnai was superior by a mile.

First of all, Xiangnai’s skin was excellent; as a high-level professional, her skin was that of a one- or two-year-old baby, white and tender, and very smooth, as if constantly soaked in milk and lubricating oil.

Secondly, Xiangnai had a great figure, a clearly defined S-shaped body, occasionally pear-shaped and papaya at the front, basically peach-shaped at the back.

Finally, as a god, Xiangnai outshone all the charming, cool, mature, and witty older women of his past!

This was truly...

In an instant, Lin Ke thought of countless things, yet his heart grew increasingly restless.

Little Lin Ke almost reached Lin Ke’s face!

"Open your eyes and tell me." Xiangnai’s voice matched her identity.

She was now a cold and aloof goddess, the Financial Goddess.

This cold voice did not soothe the heat in Lin Ke’s heart; instead, it added fuel to the fire!

"If you don’t open your eyes, I’ll come over." Xiangnai’s voice slightly rose, her cold tone mixed with a hint of coquettishness.

Lin Ke wanted to force himself to think, but under Xiangnai’s threat, he still opened his eyes.

In an instant, Lin Ke’s sight was filled with a pile of "fruits."

Pear-shaped papayas, cherries, mulberries, apples, peaches...

And in the moment of seeing these, all of Lin Ke’s rationality was completely overwhelmed.

Pink mist in the Soul Space flooded his bloodstream, then surged through his blood vessels in the Soul Space, filling Little Lin Ke with his blood.

When Xiangnai saw Lin Ke’s aggressive gaze upon opening his eyes, it shattered her last line of rational defense.

She never knew Lin Ke’s eyes were so beautiful.

Thus, Lin Ke saw the fruit-selling goddess squeezing two papayas, approaching him in a manner both eager and reluctantly slow.

But in a second, the fruit vendor seemingly completely driven by instinct, rushed over with such speed the fruits were almost shaken loose, and then threw them all into Lin Ke’s arms.

Unripe mulberries were slightly red.

Lin Ke placed two green mulberries at the edge of his mouth, filled with thick juice.

This mulberry’s texture was quite peculiar!

Eating them felt like there was a slippery tongue stirring inside, delicious!

Papayas were tropical fruits, and combined with cherries, they actually had a unique effect, opening Lin Ke’s appetite wide.

After this, Lin Ke became even more ravenous, so with a moved forefinger, he also requested the kind fruit shop owner for savory abalone to taste.

This abalone was also top-grade, seemingly never harvested before, its flavor was so fresh, he felt the warmth of the sea water and the fragrance of the sea breeze.

So, the lord in a good mood and the fruit vendor started discussing other issues.

For instance, Lin Ke never thought he could have a hearty chat with the fruit vendor about the theories and practices of biology in science.

He swam in the secret realm of truth, the realm had a deep and muddy path, very narrow, seemingly unexplored.

But for the sake of science, Lin Ke and the fruit vendor decided to charge fearlessly as a [Knight].

Some say truth is like a thin layer of film.

Once understood, it’s like window paper, if not, it’s a cement-sealed road.

At that moment, with Lin Ke’s scholarly knowledge and knightly spirit, plus the teachings of so many [Enlightenment Teachers]...

He pierced through that layer of the truth’s film.

Truth, whether seen by the Great Sage or the fruit vendor, felt exuberant for piercing through the truth’s film themselves.

This was truth

— and its film!

For the first time, the two touched truth, and became exhilarated, excited, and shouted.

In this state, they were like cattle and land after enduring hundreds of years of drought, desperately and madly pursuing truth.

In this tireless exploration, the two nearly discovered truth.

Water is the source of life!

In the end, truth turned out to be water?!

"Ah! So much water! How can this be?!" The fruit vendor felt a little puzzled.

"I don’t know either, maybe we should explore again." Lin Ke’s mouth expressed molten sentiments despite being thirty-seven degrees.

So, Lin Ke and the fruit vendor began to explore again.

Once, twice, thrice...

Luckily Lin Ke was a level fourteen [Scholar] and also a [Knight], and the fruit vendor was even a freshly ascended deity.

So, neither was tired!

Exploring truth would make one weary, how fragile would that be?

Thus, after multiple attempts, Lin Ke exhausted all sorts of postures and also taught the fruit vendor other methods, like exploring with mulberries.

After exhausting all possibilities, Lin Ke and the fruit vendor finally confirmed that the ultimate truth of life is water, water is the source of all life.

After realizing this truth, Lin Ke and the fruit vendor both entered the realm of the Great Sage, known as the ancient lamplight Buddha, desireless and serene in mind.

Two days passed.

...

"Your fruits are quite good." Lin Ke teased the fruit vendor: "These papayas are quite tasty." Saying this, he took a few bites.

Xiangnai playfully chided: "You’re always spouting nonsense!"

"How, isn’t it me who improved your cherries’ variety? The previous ones were only fingernail-sized, now they’re thumb-sized!"

"You really are! How did I never notice you like this before?"

The two chatted while glancing at each other, then burst into laughter.

But as they laughed, Lin Ke couldn’t help sighing.

The originally joyful atmosphere became somewhat heavy.

Xiangnai saw this and silently opened her mouth, but even with her divine strength, couldn’t say anything.

Strictly speaking, she took advantage of Lin Ke.

She gently spoke: "I..."

"I will go to Rica and explain everything." Lin Ke intercepted Xiangnai’s words, looking into her eyes: "This is my fault, ultimately, I didn’t control myself well."

"No, it’s not your fault..." Xiangnai also felt guilty, she genuinely admired Lin Ke now.

From the respect and affection of two days ago grew into admiration and love; not only because Lin Ke’s powerful exploration of the secret realm conquered her, but also because of Lin Ke’s determination and self-control.

And the character that was greatly treasured in Naseng.

Anyway, Xiangnai seldom saw any nobles like Lin Ke feeling ashamed after exploring the secret realm, other nobles at most lamented over their short exploration time or poor exploration condition.

Xiangnai could feel Lin Ke’s fiery and sincere heart.

"I will go and confess to Rica..." Lin Ke didn’t want to deceive Xiangnai, and even less Rica, but this matter was harder than solving the four-color conjecture, it was giving him a headache!

Xiangnai slowly shook her head:

"No, let me go, it was me first after all."

"No, this is my mistake."

"No..."

Both were very guilty, yet at that moment, a voice intruded.

"What did you... do inside my stomach?"
