Chapter 176: Mecha Are the True Love of Men

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin was dazed for a full ten seconds as Su Xin’s shocking statements repeated themselves in his mind.

Then, he carefully looked Su Xin up and down.

M-hm… His appearance bears some resemblance to Su Qianyun’s. He should be her blood brother.

Then, another problem arose. Have you ever seen a girl’s blood brother help others woo his own little sister?

Moreover, this little sister wasn’t some unattractive monster. Rather, it could be said that she was a perfect girl, the type that wouldn’t need to worry about not finding a partner.

So, was his personality twisted then, or was it the decaying of his morals?

An Lin straightened out his thoughts and transmitted solemnly, “Fellow cultivator Su Xin, you’re joking, right?”

Su Xin: “…”

“Ah… Now that it’s come to this, I won’t hide the truth from you any longer,” Su Xin said. He sighed and asked, “You know of Chang’e, correct?”

An Lin nodded solemnly.

“I suspect that… Yun Le’s sexual orientation has been led astray by Chang’e…” Su Xin continued to speak slowly, “So, I’m in desperate need of someone to help straighten out Yun Le’s outlook on life and outlook on romance.” His eyes were full of hope and expectation as he looked toward An Lin.

An Lin was slightly dazed by Su Xin’s explanation. Then, he fell deep into thought.

In fact, An Lin had noticed this problem quite a long time ago. However, he didn’t take it to heart. More accurately, he didn’t dare take it to heart…

Who was Chang’e? She was the number one beauty of the Heavenly Court! Ah… ignore this…

Who was Chang’e? She was a supreme being of the Return to Void Stage and master of the Moon Palace!

Her standing in the Heavenly Court was only below that of the six emperors. She wasn’t someone An Lin could provoke.

What could An Lin do? He didn’t dare involve himself in this matter!

An Lin didn’t even dare to educate Su Qianyun on common sense knowledge, such as the fact that kissing wouldn’t lead to pregnancy.

Now he wanted An Lin to snatch Su Qianyun from Chang’e’s adoring embrace?

Life was bright and sunshiny… Why would he try to seek death?

Seeing An Lin’s hesitation, Su Xin thought that he was feeling inferior. “Student An Lin, you’ve reached the Spirit Nurturing Stage at such a young age, and your talent with the sword is also top of the state…” he consoled. “Only a male as talented as yourself is worthy of being with Yun Le. So, I’d fully support you dating her!”

An Lin was very happy hearing Su Xin’s praise. However, happiness couldn’t keep him alive. He still wanted to live on peacefully. Thus, he unequivocally rejected Su Xin’s proposal.

An Lin wore a solemn expression on his face. Su Xin, on the other hand, had a look of dejection. He even heaved a heavy sigh of disappointment.

“Second Brother, what were you discussing with An Lin?” Su Qianyun asked curiously. She had become aware of Su Xin and An Lin’s changing expressions since a while ago. She knew that they were using voice transmission to communicate.

Her eyes were dreamy and charming, and her face was tender and beautiful. Looking at her, An Lin had to admit that she truly was striking.

However, staying alive was still more important!

This was already the third time An Lin had reminded himself of this. He couldn’t lose his calm and composure.

He turned his attention back toward Jiang Yanan. As for explaining it to Su Qianyun, that was best left to her wonderful brother to do so.

Jiang Yanan’s explanations regarding training methods for sword intent and how to increase the power of one’s sword strike through the use of sword intent were all very enlightening. At the very least, An Lin felt that it benefited him greatly.

After the lecture finished, An Lin and Su Qianyun left the drill ground.

There were still four days left until he could collect his mechanical puppet and power core, so An Lin decided to amuse himself in the imperial palace.

In these four days, Su Xin came to visit An Lin several more times, quizzing An Lin on whether he wanted to date his little sister.

“Date your little sister? No!” This was An Lin’s reply.

“No? Okay then. I’ll ask you again later.” Su Xin wasn’t discouraged by An Lin’s answer.

The next day.

“Have you thought it through properly? Do you want to date my little sister? I can help you.” There was an expectant look on Su Xin’s face.

“I’ve thought it through. No.” An Lin was very resolute.

Su Xin: “…”

The third day, Su Xin visited again.

“Do you want to chase her?”

“Even if Fish Leong 1 gave me the courage, I still wouldn’t have the balls to chase after her.”

Su Xin was dumbfounded. “What did you say?”

“No.”

Su Xin: “…”

The fourth day.

It was time to pick up his goods.

Dragging Da Bai and Xiao Man with them, An Lin and Su Qianyun were in high spirits as they walked toward the research center.

Upon opening the door, a multi-colored light illuminated the interior of the research center.

Dressed in white robes, Professor Yang looked refined as he stood in the center of the research center. He saluted the princess before starting speaking in a calm yet excited voice. “Welcome to the research center. Now, let us witness a miracle!”

Saying this, he pulled a white cloth away. A silver mechanical puppet appeared before An Lin’s eyes.

It stood upright on the floor, and a faint golden glow radiated from the power core that was sitting in its center.

With a pulsating presence, an aura of vitality spread into the surroundings, blending in perfectly with nature. It felt vivid and alive, and it was brimming with life force.

“Perfection…” Staring intently at the puppet before him, An Lin unconsciously opened his mouth in praise.

This puppet had undergone a huge transformation. It went from dead to alive!

Due to the connection with his blood, he could already command this puppet. This was an indication that the spiritual network had been successfully activated.

“Punch!” An Lin commanded.

Receiving this command, the Gundam instantly launched a ferocious punch. Its movement was smooth, and the strength of its fist was fearsome!

Its punch wasn’t disorderly and chaotic. Rather, it was extremely exquisite and advanced. This was perhaps due to the system within the humanoid puppet. It might have already contained information relating to fighting techniques.

“Dance!” An Lin smiled as he continued to give it commands.

Hearing this command, the Gundam started to tremble and a buoyant song started playing.

Immediately afterward, the Gundam started to move its joints and dance to the music.

This robot dance could be said to be perfect. The Gundam’s movements were awesome and cool, and it also possessed a strong mechanical feel.

Watching this dance, An Lin’s heartbeat quickened. Perfection… Absolute perfection!

Even Professor Yang and Su Qianyun were unable to take their eyes off the Gundam. Its dance was both refreshing and stunning.

After it finished its dance, An Lin hugged the metallic Gundam tightly. “From now on, your name is Gundam One!”

The mechanical puppet nodded in half-understanding. To the side, Professor Yang felt a knot forming in his chest.

Giving such a perfect creation such a casual name… His heart throbbed in pain!

Professor Yang handed An Lin the other power core.

An Lin eagerly installed this power core into the other Gundam, activating it also.

“From now on, your name is Gundam Two!”

“Hideous, absolutely hideous!” Professor Yang lamented in grief.

An Lin’s way of naming the Gundams was equivalent to if Da Vinci named his Mona Lisa the “Flower Girl”. Such action was simply sullying great works of art!

An Lin was oblivious to this fact, and he was extremely satisfied as he put Gundam One and Gundam Two into his storage ring. He turned around and once again thanked Professor Yang.

“If these mechanical puppets are put into battle, they can only last two hours. Once the energy in the power cores is exhausted, you’ll need ten thousand spirit stones to replenish them.”

An Lin nodded. He could afford this small expense.

In the future, Gundam One and Gundam Two would also become part of his life-saving reservoir.

“There’s one more thing,” Professor Yang continued. “The power cores that I built can only activate around twenty percent of the mechanical puppets’ power. In the future, I’ll build more refined power cores for you.”

An Lin glanced at Professor Yang gratefully. As his technology and skill were limited in this field, An Lin never expected for him to build a perfect power core anyway.

In fact, he was already extremely satisfied that twenty percent of the mechanical puppet’s power was activated.

Now that Professor Yang offered to improve it by himself, he was naturally thankful and over the moon with delight.

“Treat Daybreak and Dawn well.” Professor Yang patted An Lin’s shoulder.

“What?” An Lin was slightly dazed.

“Those are the names of your two mechanical puppets,” Professor Yang said meaningfully.

He decided to correct the young lad’s concept of names in a subtle and gentle manner.

“Don’t give them such random names,” An Lin said solemnly. “I think Gundam One and Gundam Two sound best.”

Professor Yang: “…”
