Chapter 48: The Long-Awaited Kristen

  Wait!

  Lin Taiping was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head with a thoughtful expression. After a few seconds of astonishment, he suddenly revealed that very strange smile.

  "What are you looking at?" Following his line of sight, Ye Ge curiously stretched her neck and looked towards the street not far away.

  At the corner of that street, a woman in a red dress with a wild beauty, carrying a black crystal cannon, stood upright with a majestic posture, her long red hair cascading down like a waterfall, and her red skirt fluttering in the wind, making her look like a flickering flame that illuminated the dark night.

  "Not bad, just a bit savage-looking." Ye Ge blew a soft whistle, "Dear Lin, didn't you like this type? You should have said so earlier, I can do it too."

  "Is that so? Then you must first be able to carry a magic crystal cannon." Lin Taiping replied with a smile, downing the red wine in his cup in one gulp, before striding off in that direction.

  "Hey, hey, you're not thinking of hitting on her, are you?" Ye Ge watched from behind with a look of speechlessness and suddenly felt that she should prepare some band-aids first, perhaps they would come in handy later.

  It turned out that Lin Taiping was not going to pick up girls, but actually went to **!

  Before he even got close, he enthusiastically waved his hand and with a big smile on his face loudly shouted: "Hey, beautiful one over there, are you interested in taking a ride on my carriage to enjoy the breeze?"

  The conversation was interrupted, and the red-haired girl turned her head in surprise. However, contrary to Ye Ge's expectations, she only hesitated for a moment before widening her eyes and revealing an expression of surprise: "Boss...?"

  "I like this title, and it would be even more perfect if one word is changed." Lin Taiping revealed eight snow-white shiny teeth, and with a blatant intention of taking advantage, he opened his arms wide, preparing to give a big hug.

  For a moment, Kristen seemed to hesitate, but after a few seconds of hesitation, she didn't choose to dodge, instead hesitantly opening her arms slightly, and a faint blush appeared on her pale face.

  Under the soft yellow moonlight, a sweet embrace is about to unfold. Pedestrians on both sides of the street can't help but stop and gaze, revealing tender smiles as if watching a young couple reunited after a long separation, in this romantic... uh?

  Okay, it's indeed very romantic, but the female lead of this romance seems to have changed suddenly?

  "I knew it!" A few seconds later, Lin Taiping could only lower his head in silence, looking at Ye Ge who appeared like a ghost and rushed into his arms first. "Please, you guy who ruins people's marriages, going out will get you kicked to death by a horse."

  "It doesn't matter, I've never ridden a horse before." Ye Ge replied with her eyes closed, not only showing no intention of leaving his embrace, but instead snuggling deeper into it, even letting out a few comfortable moans, as if she found this place warm and soft.

  In an instant, Kristen's smile suddenly froze, and the onlookers around her looked at each other in dismay, unanimously raising their heads to gaze up at the sky, which had just been sunny and clear but now seemed to be turning into a storm.

  I just happened to be passing by, Lin Taiping didn't want to say anything else, so he simply put his hands in his pockets and retreated a few steps with an innocent face, staring at the pillar on the side of the road as if there was some strange small advertisement on it.

  Guess what's going to happen next? Following some clichéd melodramatic plot, next will definitely be a fierce vinegar-eating war. As the male lead, I'll seemingly be in pain but actually very pleased, watching two beautiful women fight over me and hypocritically lamenting with a few words, "Women are really troublesome..." Uh?

  It turns out he was overthinking!

  "After the initial shock, Kristen immediately returned to normal and put down the magic crystal cannon, smiling and extending her hand to Ye Ge: "Kristen, human, 26 years old, skilled at using magic crystal cannons to blast people into pulp, current ideal is to make money to buy milk powder and diapers."

  "It's great to meet you." Yege smiled and stretched out her hand, imitating Kirsten's way of introducing herself. "Yege, Dark Elf, 168 years old, skilled in stealth and beast control, currently my ideal is to have Lin give birth to children for me, many, many children."

  As they introduced each other, they had already intimately linked arms and within a few short minutes, became bosom friends who could talk about anything as if they had known each other for many years.

  "Hmm, dear Ye Ge, you want to have a child with Boss? Honestly, it's really difficult to win his heart."

  "It doesn't matter, I don't care about his heart, as long as I can get his body. But that guy is too sinister and cunning, every time it comes to the crucial moment, he turns into a skull. I even suspect if he has demonic blood."

  "No need to doubt, it's simply that I dare to swear on my beloved magic crystal cannon, the boss has at least nine devil tails."

  "Hmm, looks like you've also been taken advantage of by him. So shall we join forces? After I'm done making him have a child, I'll let you have one too?"

  Damn it! Lin Taiping could only look up at the sky in silence, watching two beautiful women chatting about how to knock themselves out and give birth. He suddenly felt that this kind of "royal sister" creature was completely different from ordinary people, and was simply fierce and unreasonable.

  The next moment, just as the two of them were discussing which position was most likely to get pregnant, he finally couldn't help but interrupt with a few light coughs: "Ahem, Kristin, why are you here?"

  "I specifically went to buy milk powder back." Kristen pointed to the several large boxes of milk powder under her feet, then turned her head thoughtfully and gazed at the crowd passing by not far away. "However, when I just passed by here, I seemed to see a very familiar guy, looking like..."

  "What is it?" Lin Taiping followed her line of sight, and in the crowded crowd, a black cloak seemed to flash by, but quickly disappeared without a trace.

  "Nothing, maybe I'm just mistaken." Kristen shook her head in confusion, but immediately asked enthusiastically, "Boss, I heard you just sold out of new goods, so can I get a raise?"

  "Of course, of course." Lin Taiping casually pulled out a dozen gold tickets and tossed them over without even counting them. "Take it, this is some pocket money, take it to buy fruit for Vivian and the others."

  Very good, very powerful. Kristen was just casually saying it, but when she saw that dozen gold tickets, she immediately fell into a state of confusion with stars in her eyes: "Three thousand, four thousand, five thousand, six thousand... Boss, what have you done? Did you rob the Ford Viscount?"

  "It's better than robbery, more profitable." Lin Taiping laughed brightly, putting his arms around Ye Ge and Kristen's shoulders, strolling slowly along the street. "I just got Ye Ge to give those ladies a lesson in medicine... Hmm, speaking of which, Kristen, you can also teach them, guaranteed to make a fortune."

  "Me?" Kristen pointed at herself in confusion, "I don't know anything about medicine."

  "No problem." Lin Taiping turned his head to look at the banquet hall, feeling good and stroking his chin, "You can give them something else, for example... women's self-defense techniques?"

  He said, his eyes shining in front of him again, and he turned his head to look at Ye Ge on the right: "Also, dark elves are one of the most skilled races in seducing men. Maybe those ladies would be very happy to spend money to let you teach them how to be more seductive."

  No mistake, just like being triggered by inspiration, Lin Taiping seriously counted with his fingers, and in one breath, he reported more than a dozen courses: "Image Design, Physical Training, Male Psychology, Yoga, Dance, Soft Body... Hmm, now the question is, how much tuition should we charge to be reasonable?"

  No one answered, and Christine and Yege had already fainted completely. The two of them looked at Lin Taiping with a strange expression on their faces, and they couldn't help but glance at each other, leaving only one thought in their minds: "Well, it seems that some guys are going to be in big trouble!"

  At almost the same time, Lord Ford, who was watching his wallet flow with tears in the banquet hall, and the group of nobles next to him who vowed to cut their clothes and eat less, suddenly couldn't help but shiver together.

  Ah-choo! It seems like, possibly, apparently, or maybe something scary is going to happen?
