Chapter 127: Lin Feng's Strange Behavior (Part 2) [Requesting Monthly Tickets]
Perhaps influenced by Qi Shan's words, Shen Tang vaguely felt that she had grasped something—the so-called "literary mind and martial courage" seemed to be more like the innate privilege of a small number of people.
Men possess both literary talent and martial prowess because the monarch is male.
According to this logic—
If a woman reaches the top, will the rights tilt towards her?
Shen Tang secretly shook her head. She felt that this idea did not quite fit the fantasy worldview—using magic to defeat magic, the fantasy worldview should also be analyzed and explored using fantasy thinking.
A fantasy concept...
Hmm—if that's the case, she has another way of thinking. Isn't it said that "men are yang and women are yin"?
Could it be that the energy of heaven and earth is also divided into yin and yang, and for some reason there is only yang and no yin, or that the yin-attribute energy of heaven and earth cannot be tamed, so those women can sense it but cannot contain it?
Because their attributes are incompatible?
Once you have a creative idea, your thinking will open up.
Shen Tang then proposed several more hypotheses.
When she came to her senses, the group could already see the small village hidden in the mountains. Even from this distance, they could vaguely make out several hardworking figures bustling about.
"My lord, you're finally back."
Lin Feng jogged up to greet him.
She's been going around having fun with Shen Tang lately, and her exercise level has increased a lot. She wasn't even out of breath after walking this distance.
The way he looked at Shen Tang was as if he were looking at his pillar of support.
Zhai Le bowed and said, "Greetings, Miss Lin."
Lin Feng returned the greeting: "Greetings, Young Master Zhai."
Qi Shan was responsible for settling the newly purchased people in. After saying a few words, she went to get busy. Zhai Le was entertained by Shen Tang.
Shen Tang led him to lock the two black-faced wolves in the pigsty.
Zhai Le had never seen so many piglets gathered together eating, drinking, and sleeping before, so he was naturally both surprised and amazed.
"Are all of these raised by Brother Shen?"
Shen Tang: "Yes, I'll treat you to roast pig when it's grown up."
Zhai Le was an honest man and said frankly, "Since Brother Shen has invited me, I will naturally accept. However, pork is not very tasty due to its gamey smell. Brother Shen can raise sheep. My brother and I traveled through a small northwestern country and obtained a recipe that is quite good at removing the gamey smell."
Shen Tang gave him an expression that said, "You're missing out on the good food."
“Ordinary pigs are naturally very smelly, but mine are different. Trust me, once you’ve tasted them, you’ll definitely love them.” Shen Tang boasted about his pork like a pig farmer promoting his own pigs. “I also have my own unique techniques!”
Zhai Le asked curiously, "What kind of special skill?"
Shen Tang grabbed a piglet by its front hoof with one hand, showing its chubby belly to Zhai Le: "Castrate it!"
Zhai Le: "...Castration?"
Shen Tang explained, "Because uncastrated pigs secrete sex hormones, which affect the smell, making it strong and unpalatable. Once the source is cut off, the taste becomes wonderful!"
Zhai Le: "..."
Although he couldn't understand it, Brother Shen spoke so logically and confidently that he must have some profound reasoning behind it, so he believed him.
But he soon realized he had believed it too soon.
"Xiaofang, you've come at the right time! I've been raising these piglets for several days now, and I'm sure they've adapted to the environment and are getting enough exercise... How about we schedule the surgery tomorrow? You're a man, so you know more than I do. How about we castrate them together?"
Zhai Le's lips twitched slightly: "...Not so good."
What do you mean he's a man and knows more than Brother Shen? Zhai Le thought awkwardly, isn't Brother Shen a man himself?
If you want to understand, why not just study yourself?
Zhai Lesheng, fearing that Shen Tang would drag him into studying how to castrate pigs, happened to see Gong Shuwu returning with dozens of men. He hurriedly joined them under the banner of "making friends through martial arts." Shen Tang tried to stop her companion, but her sleeve was slightly tugged.
She looked down and saw Lin Feng, who had been silent for a long time.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Feng's small face showed a hint of something he wanted to say, but he hesitated.
Shen Tang wondered to himself, "Could it be that he has been bullied in some way?"
Lin Feng looked around, hesitated, then timidly leaned close to Chen Tang's ear and whispered, "My lord, come with me..."
Shen Tang: "...???"
What's going on so mysteriously?
Perhaps influenced by Lin Feng, Shen Tang also looked around furtively, as if she were a thief, and whispered, "It's safe here, you say."
Lin Feng replied in the same low, mosquito-like voice.
"My lord...this humble servant..."
The two spies would usually meet in a corner of a small, dilapidated house.
Shen Tang stared intently at Lin Feng's mouth, patiently waiting for her to tell him about the grievances she had suffered. However, Lin Feng hesitated when she was about to speak.
As a result, the young lady seemed to want to say something but hesitated, which made Shen Tang even more curious and eager to speak for her.
"Tell me, oh my god, it's driving me crazy..."
Lin Feng was in a very difficult situation, but in the end, he made up his mind.
She said, "My lord, look."
She then spread out her small, fair hand.
Shen Tang stared at it for a long time, still puzzled: "Looking at your palm lines?"
She doesn't understand face reading or palmistry either.
Lin Feng bit his lower lip, blushing with embarrassment. He leaned closer to Shen Tang and offered his hand: "No, please look again, my lord."
Shen Tang: "..."
Could it be that some strange new setting has been added to this world? Like the Emperor's New Clothes? Or Lin Feng's possession?
But judging from Lin Feng's expression, he was clearly not joking.
She focused intently and leaned closer to examine it closely.
Lin Feng adjusted his small hand.
"Look from here..."
Shen Tang squinted.
Just as she felt her eyes starting to twitch, and Lin Feng was sweating profusely and his face was flushed with anxiety, she finally saw a very, very, very... very fine strand of hair floating above her palm, faintly tinged with a light pink.
Oh, it's anger.
Shen Tang pinched the space between her eyebrows to relieve the soreness.
Good heavens, I almost went blind just looking at the air!
Halfway through her rant, she suddenly realized what she had seen. She grabbed Lin Feng's hand with both hands and stared intently at the wisp of "hair." It was extremely small and faint, like a candle flickering in the wind that could be extinguished at any moment, but it was undeniably there.
"This, this is..."
Shen Tang almost bit her tongue.
In contrast, Lin Feng remained very calm, or perhaps she had already passed the stage of shock and fear. She said, "The Qi of Heaven and Earth."
She grasped Shen Tang's hand and placed it on his dantian, murmuring as if in a dream: "My lord, it's here...it's there."
Shen Tang: "..."
Lin Feng lowered his head, looking somewhat lost.
"When I woke up this morning, I felt something was wrong with my body. No—to be precise, it was after that strange thing entered my body the night I slept with my husband that I started feeling different. I felt tired and sore during the day, and I always felt like I hadn't slept enough..."
Shen Tang: "..."
Lin Feng continued, "Today I even discovered that I actually have it... but how could I have it? After all, I am..."
Clang!
A loud sound came from outside.
Shen Tang and Lin Feng, like startled little animals, both turned to look at Zhai Le, whose expression was a mixture of shock, disorientation, and a sense of being struck by lightning, leaving him seemingly dazed. Inside and outside the house, the three remained frozen in place like statues.
Finally, Shen Tang couldn't hold on any longer.
With a thud, he changed from a squatting position to a half-kneeling position.
"It's nothing, my legs just went numb from squatting for too long..."
She slowly got up, leaning against the wall, and politely declined Lin Feng's offer to help her up.
Zhai Le looked at Shen Tang and then at Lin Feng.
Finally, his mouth moved a few times.
His expression was as if he were sleepwalking: "Brother Shen, congratulations?"
Is that how it should be said?
But he hasn't found a wife he likes yet, and his brother Shen, who is several years younger than him, is going to become a father?
Shen Tang: "..."

Regarding Ji Mo Qiu and Ji Mo Shao Bai, this is the male protagonist (short for female protagonist's man) who only exists in the character list for a very, very long time in this story. He is one of the corporate slave warriors and a skilled fighter.
P.S.: It appeared, but not officially, so it's not that you missed a chapter.
P.S.: This book features a mature woman and an energetic young man as a couple (speaking of which, I can't help but recall a synopsis from a while back on Douyin: "I remarried to a rich second-generation heir eight years younger than me, from a scholarly family..." In this story, the male protagonist's perspective is roughly: "I married a self-made entrepreneur six years older than me in my first marriage, who dominated the world and was incredibly wealthy..." blah blah blah...)
