"Why did you come out of my dad's room?" Lin Chuhan asked in surprise.
"I wanted to wish you a happy new year. Can't I?" Wang Teng said.
"Really? My dad … "Lin Chuhan's face was full of suspicion. She knew her father's condition very well. He never came out of his room, let alone talk to others.
Mother Lin and Lin Chuxia also looked at Wang Teng with a puzzled expression.
Wang Teng didn't joke around anymore. He told Lin Chuhan and her two daughters what he saw.
Mother Lin's eyes suddenly showed a trace of gentleness. "This old thing still knows how to care for his daughters."
All these years, the burden of the whole family had been on her shoulders. It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel resentment.
However, now that her elder daughter was admitted to a prestigious school like Donghai University, and her younger daughter's strange illness was cured, she could live like a normal person in the future. She didn't need to spend a lot of money on treatment. Most of her worries were gone.
Even if her father couldn't recover, she could rely on herself to support the family in the future.
"My dad … he didn't have it easy," Lin Chuhan said.
"That's right, Mom. Dad must have felt terrible all these years. Don't blame him," Lin Chuxia said.
"Okay, okay. With the two of you, I can't be bothered to blame him," Mother Lin said.
"Actually, with the current medical technology, he can still live like a normal person with artificial limbs. It might even be possible to recover his legs in the future," Wang Teng said.
"That's right, Mom. In this day and age, anything is possible," Lin Chuhan comforted her, "When I earn money in the future, I will find a way to cure my dad."
"Me too. I also want to earn big money in the future. The first thing is to cure my dad's legs. Then, I will let you two travel around the world," Lin Chuxia said, not to be outdone.
"It's good that you two are so considerate." Seeing that her two daughters were so sensible, Mother Lin was very happy in her heart, but then she sighed and said, "But your father can't get over the threshold in his heart. If he can get over it, even if he doesn't have legs, he can still live well."
Wang Teng nodded in understanding. For a martial artist, losing both his legs and having his core crippled was a huge blow. No wonder Father Lin had been unable to walk out of this shadow all these years.
Father Lin's generation could be said to be the first batch of martial artists. The era had just changed. It was not easy to become a martial artist. Naturally, their status was not low. Later on, they fell to such a state. Most people would not be able to accept it.
The few of them stopped talking about Papa Lin. Mama Lin pulled Wang Teng and said, "Auntie really doesn't know how to thank you for helping Chuxia recover. Auntie will personally cook something delicious for you tonight. You must stay."
Wang Teng wanted to decline, but Lin Chuhan said, "Stay. If you don't do something, my mother won't be able to sleep."
"Brother-in-law, let's go. I'll show you the results of my recent spear training." Lin Chuxia pulled Wang Teng straight to the room.
After her body recovered, she became a lot more cheerful. She didn't even have to worry about physical contact with others. For example, Lin Chuhan and Mother Lin, if they wanted to come into contact with her, they would have to be careful. Although it wasn't that they couldn't touch her at all, they definitely couldn't be as carefree as they were now.
These things would affect her family's living conditions. Now, she didn't have to worry about these things at all.
"I'll help my mother cook. You two can play by yourselves for a while." Lin Chuhan said as he accompanied Mother Lin downstairs to buy groceries and cook.
Wang Teng rubbed his nose. Then, he saw Lin Chuxia take out a … toy gun from the drawer.
Lin Chuxia held the toy gun and fired a few shots outside the window.
Martial artists had very strong eyesight. Wang Teng clearly saw a few bullets turn in mid-air and finally hit a little mouse that scurried out of the sewer.
All hits!
That little mouse was completely dumbfounded.
This was really a case of a mouse running across the street and bullets flying from the sky.
However, they were plastic bullets after all, so the damage was limited. The little mouse cried out twice in pain, then immediately turned around and crawled back into the sewer, disappearing without a trace.
Lin Chuxia saw his masterpiece and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Naughty!" Wang Teng also couldn't help but laugh. He tapped her head.
"How is it? Compared to last time, I've improved, right?" Lin Chuxia smiled a little proudly.
"Not bad. You'll be able to cultivate Force in the future. With Runes bullets, your power will definitely be very shocking," Wang Teng said.
Other normal martial artists started to train their physique when they were martial disciples. Then, they started to cultivate Force skills and became martial artists. However, Lin Chuxia was different. Her body constitution was special, so she could cultivate Force skills directly. Now, she was almost at the 2-star soldier level.
"Runes bullets and Runes guns are very expensive, right?" Lin Chuxia said.
"When you become a 3-star soldier-level martial artist, I'll give you a Runes gun," Wang Teng said.
"Really?" Lin Chuxia was instantly shocked. She had been learning gun skills recently, so she specially looked up the price of Runes guns. It was very expensive. A 1-star Runes gun cost more than a million. Her family couldn't save that much money even if they worked for ten years.
"To a high-rank martial artist, that's just a small amount of money," Wang Teng said with a smile.
"Then I'll have to become a high-rank martial artist first. My dad used to be a martial artist too, but in order to cultivate, he didn't leave much money for the family. This shows that it's not easy for martial artists to earn money," Lin Chuxia lamented.
Wang Teng was stunned. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but admit that Lin Chuxia's words made sense. Not all martial artists were as rich as him.
Most martial artists earned money faster than normal people, but cultivation required a lot of resources. The speed at which they spent money was faster than the speed at which they earned money. Sometimes, they really couldn't afford decent weapons.
"Don't worry. Just because others can't afford it doesn't mean that I can't. I said that I'll give it to you. I won't go back on my words," Wang Teng promised.
"That's what you said. I won't stand on ceremony with you," Lin Chuxia said with a smile.
Wang Teng smiled and nodded. In reality, he already had many discarded weapons in his space ring. Anyway, he couldn't use them. Even if he sold them, the price would be greatly discounted. It wasn't worth it. He might as well give them to the people around him.
"Hehe, then I'll have to work hard to cultivate," Lin Chuxia said with a smile.
"Good luck. But you're still too young. Also, you didn't go to school before, so you're lagging behind in your cultural studies. The most important thing now is to improve your cultural studies results. Then, you'll consider if you want to enter university early to cultivate," Wang Teng said.
Lin Chuxia held his chin and looked at Wang Teng's expression. He didn't say anything and just nodded.
Although Wang Teng also saw Lin Chuxia's expression, he didn't think much of it and continued, "However, I suggest that you don't let outsiders know that you've become a martial artist and that you have a special constitution. Wait until you enter university before slowly revealing it. At that time, you'll naturally attract the attention of the school's higher-ups. They'll definitely value a special talent like you."
"I didn't see them value me before," Lin Chuxia said with a frown.
Wang Teng pondered for a moment and said earnestly, "After all, people have to show their worth in order to attract the attention of others. Moreover, you're probably the first poison-type martial artist on Earth Star. Before they know the strength of a poison-type martial artist, I'm afraid that no one will do anything for you. Sometimes, the world is so realistic. There's no need to complain about anything. After all, you have to live for yourself. Only by becoming stronger can you and your family live a better life in the future."
He knew that Lin Chuxia would definitely have resentment in his heart.
Anyone would feel the same way.
However, as he said, the world wouldn't stop spinning just because someone was missing. There was no such thing as unconditional love. If it weren't for Lin Chuhan, he might not have known about Lin Chuxia's situation and helped her solve this problem in the end.
Lin Chuxia thought for a moment, then her brows relaxed. She nodded heavily and said, "I understand. I must continue to become stronger and then take control of my own fate. No one can control me. Also … if anyone dares to bully my family in the future, I'll let them know how powerful I am."
Wang Teng couldn't help but find it funny when he saw her "I'm super fierce" look.
However, he could see that Lin Chuxia was more mature than he thought. Some things were easy to understand. She definitely wouldn't be like a naive sweet girl who would be tricked into working for others just because they offered her some small favors.
After all, the world of martial artists was too dangerous. Wang Teng had seen many life and death situations in it. Naturally, he didn't want Lin Chuxia to rush in headfirst and have something happen to her in the future.
Tricking … oh no, educating was a success!
When it was almost 6 pm, Mother Lin and Lin Chuhan finished preparing dinner and called Wang Teng over.
In order to entertain Wang Teng, Mother Lin really put in a lot of effort. The dining table was filled with all kinds of dishes. Although the ingredients weren't expensive, they were extremely sumptuous. They looked, smelled, and tasted good.
This was the first time Lin Chuxia was able to sit together with her family for dinner. Her eyes shone with happiness. It was obvious that she was very happy.
Mother Lin and Lin Chuhan were also very happy. Perhaps their only regret was that they didn't have Father Lin.
Mother Lin kept putting food into Wang Teng and Lin Chuxia's bowl. The smile on her face didn't disappear for a moment.
"This bowl of lychee meat was personally made by Chuhan. Try it," Mother Lin said as she put food into Wang Teng's bowl.
Wang Teng couldn't help but glance at Lin Chuhan. He smiled slightly.
Lin Chuhan was a little embarrassed and avoided his gaze. However, he still glanced at Wang Teng from time to time. There was a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
Wang Teng naturally picked up the lychee meat in the bowl first. After tasting it, his eyes lit up. "Delicious!"
The lychee meat was indeed very well made. The texture was crisp and tender, and it was sweet and sour. It was very suitable for his taste.
Lin Chuhan immediately let out a sigh of relief. Mother Lin saw this and couldn't help but laugh.
Mother Lin and Lin Chuhan's culinary skills were really good. Wang Teng's chopsticks never stopped moving. The sound of laughter could be heard throughout the meal. It could be said that this meal was very enjoyable for both the guests and the host.
After the meal, Wang Teng stayed at Lin Chuhan's house for a while. He gave some instructions on Lin Chuxia's cultivation. Then, Lin Chuhan sent him off.
