Chapter 260: You Not Only Like Older Women, You Also…
Chapter 260: You Not Only Like Older Women, You Also…So that meant the Matriarch of the Night Doctors in the darkness might very well be a Root-level being, the same kind as Big Brother the Titan and the others.
But Lynn did not feel surprised.
After all, the leader of such a massive organization like the Night Doctors couldn't possibly be ordinary.
Lynn immediately pummeled his chest with one hand, bowed his head, and saluted:
"Trainee Night Doctor, Benevolent Doctor · Harbinger of Peace, pays respects to the Matriarch."
"……"
The two guards stationed on either side of the gate both looked at him with strange expressions.
This was the first time they had heard such an outrageous name…
Didn’t he feel embarrassed introducing himself like that?
From the depths of the hall.A grand female voice spoke.
"Raven mentioned you to me. What surprised me is that you managed to pass the assessment so quickly, and you even received White Night's recommendation."
"But I trust White Night's judgment, so I also believe you will become a qualified Night Doctor."
Lynn bowed his head and replied solemnly, "Thank you for your favor, Matriarch!"
It was still necessary to follow protocol—after all, the other party was not a little girl but possibly a Root-level being like Big Brother the Titan.
One must be cautious in speech and behavior, never offend.
That was how you survived in the Dark World.
The grand female voice said, "I need to perform an examination on you. Relax your body and mind;
it will be over quickly."
"Yes! Matriarch!"
Lynn nodded.
Then he reached out and took off his outer coat.
But just as he moved to continue undressing—
"Why are you taking off your clothes?" the grand female voice asked from the depths.
Lynn looked up, clutching his clothes, and said, "Aren't you going to perform a physical examination? When I check other people, I always have them remove their clothes."
"……"
A brief, extremely eerie silence.
The two guards at the door twitched at the corners of their mouths, their groins pulsing with awkward pain.
After a long pause.
"No need!"
The female voice from the depths clearly raised a few decibels.
Lynn nodded, put his coat back on, and stood there like an innocent youth.
The next moment.
A beam of light shot out from the darkness and enveloped Lynn's entire body.
Lynn immediately felt warm all over, as if a delicate little girl's hands were giving him a full-body massage—tingly, soft, and incredibly comfortable. ŖÀΝỌᛒÊⱾ
Lynn felt blissful.
It felt as if his soul were being cleansed.
[Ding! You are being bathed in the Holy Light. Your body is being observed.]
[Ding! Your vitality has been restored to 100%.]
[Ding! Your fatigue has been recovered.]
While being bathed in the light, soft, spongy tentacles sprouted unconsciously from his body, floating like seaweed.
Clearly, the examination by that presence had activated some innate ability in his body.
And then, the next instant.
When the light swept across his forehead, an ancient cross rune slowly appeared on his brow.
The moment that rune appeared, the gaze from the depths of the darkness was instantly astonished.
"The Titan Clan's Soul Contract?! How is this possible?"
Yes!
There was no mistake!
That was the contract rune Titan youths used to establish bonds with one another!
But how could a human have a Titan contract?!
What kind of joke was this?!
Because of that contract rune, it meant the guy was burdened with an engagement.
A human under two meters in height engaged to a Titan girl hundreds of meters tall?!!
[Ding! ??? Shock level +10]
And in the next moment, the grand female voice spoke again.
Only this time the voice was evidently full of hesitation.
"Where did that Titan mark on your head come from?!"
Lynn was stunned, quickly snapping back to his senses from the warm light.
"Mark?"
He instinctively fished out a mirror and glanced at his forehead.
Then he immediately remembered that absurd ceremony where Auntie Wushen had more or less coerced him into a half-sale, half-kidnapping ritual with Little One.
Lynn let out a sharp breath, embarrassed as he said,
"How to put it… there was an auntie… who insisted I marry her daughter. I had a hard time refusing, and her daughter and I are friends, so I agreed for now… I thought I could explain things when she grew up…"
[Ding! ??? Shock level +10]
"You are a human?" the voice hesitated.
Lynn widened his eyes and nodded quickly.
"Engaged to a Titan?" the voice sounded incredulous.
Lynn was dumbfounded and didn't know how to respond.
"Engaged?!" the voice gradually registered the absurdity.
Lynn glared and corrected, "No, it's a young Titan girl's head. Her name is Little One. Although we're engaged, it will certainly be annulled in the future."
[Ding! ??? Shock level +20]
"You not only like older women, you also… drive the (bleep) wagon?!" The grand female voice was clearly stunned by him.
Lynn: "……"
Lynn vigorously wiped the sweat off his brow.
He had the impression that this Matriarch was not the sort you could easily talk sense into, and she seemed to know a lot, but judging by her tone she didn't seem impossible to get along with.
"No…" Lynn explained dejectedly, "No, really, I was forced. I had no such thoughts…"
The gaze from the darkness grew ever more doubtful.
"The Titan Clan has been wiped out. Now in this Dark World only three Titans remain. Don't tell me the one you are engaged to is the daughter of those two fellows!"
Lynn was startled, eyes wide, "Uh… if you mean the Headhunter family, then probably…"
[Ding! ??? Shock level +10]
"She's only five!" the voice was clearly shocked.
Lynn put his hand to his forehead and said, "Three thousand and five years…"
"How is Wushen related to you?!" the voice asked hesitantly.
Lynn wiped his sweat and said, "Sort of an auntie… just an acquaintance…"
"Then how is that War God related to you?" the voice grew aggressive.
He remembered that Big Brother had indeed been the Titan Clan's War God in life.
Lynn cleared his throat and said, "Sworn big brother, I guess…"
Hum—
Silence filled the entire hall.
The two guards at the door were left speechless.
"……"
After a long while of silence.
The female voice from the dark spoke hesitantly.
"He became your big brother? His wife is your auntie? His daughter is your fiancée?!"
Lynn: "Although the relationships might seem messy, broadly speaking, yes."
They knew each other!
The Matriarch of the Night Doctors definitely knew Little One's family!
Did that make Lynn a semi-acquaintance or a relative by extension?
"Do you dare to try to fool me?!" the dark voice turned chillingly cold in an instant.
Lynn immediately felt the warm light surrounding him turn bone-numbingly frigid.
Alarms sounded rapidly in his ears.
[Ding! Crisis level 50%!]
[Ding! Crisis level 80%!]
[Ding! Warning! Warning! Crisis level 96%!]
Seeing the murderous and icy intent intensify, Lynn immediately raised his head and, with a serious glare, explained:
"No! Absolutely not! If you don't believe me, I still have contact information for Big Brother's family. You can verify it with Sight at any time!"
"If even one sentence I say is a lie, may I be struck by five thunderbolts from heaven!"
But obviously, it didn't work very well.
The cold gaze continued to descend into chill.
Lynn gritted his teeth.
At this point he couldn't care about anything else!
In an instant.
He pulled half of a massive broken fang from System Space, hugged it to his chest with difficulty, and gritted his teeth:
"If you don't trust my words, will you trust this?! This is my fiancée's—no! It's Little One's half of a baby tooth! Would an ordinary person have such a private item?"
"……"
A short silence.
Lynn could clearly feel that gaze fall upon the half-tooth in his arms.
The Root-level aura emanating from it was unmistakable.
If the Matriarch really knew Little One's family, there was no way she wouldn't detect the aura.
Everything sank into silence.
Lynn also felt the light's temperature stop dropping.
He secretly exhaled a breath of relief.
He raised his head and cautiously asked, "May I ask, Matriarch, who are you…"
After a long time.
The grand, indifferent female voice echoed in the great hall.
"I was my daughter's dead father's first love."
Lynn: "!!!"
