Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality Chapter 261 - “Incubation”

Chapter 261 “Incubation”

With his outstanding performance during the rescue of the abduction, Yuan Ye is gradually accepted by the Lin family.

Of course, Li Xi’er doesn’t think so. She holds her previous impression on Yuan Ye, who always argues with her and bully her out of no reason.

The coats made of Lin Luoran’s “rabbit fur” are delivered to Lin’s house when the temperature starts to fall. Li Xi’er has a scarf, Ms. Lin and w.a.n.g Miao’e have coats, and there is also a little jacket for Lucy. The women gather together and chat. Yuan Ye meets Zeng Tian first and they come to Lin’s house to report to Lin Luoran about the progress of the construction of the pharmaceutical factory.

“Master, we’ve figured out the prescriptions you gave us. We still need to do lots of experiments to make sure of the efficacy.” Yuan Ye takes out a tray with boluses in various colors and sizes.

If the medicine base develops well, Lin Luoran will have to stop using her s.p.a.ce for several years. Before that, she must buy raw materials from the market. Zeng Tian has got the approval of the pharmaceutical factory and the production line is being s.h.i.+pped from abroad. The samples they’ve brought here are produced during a test.

Lin Luoran picks up a bolus and eats it when everyone is staring at her in surprise.

“Master Lin!” Zeng Tian is stunned. Many people would fight for a chance of a drug test as long as there is money. He really doesn’t expect Lin Luoran to eat the bolus like it is candy.

Lin Luoran closes her eyes and feels the bolus melt in her body. The Reiki inside of it is a little bit agitated. This batch of raw material was bought by the Mu family. It’s such a shame that the Reiki inside of them is agitated. The Reiki won’t hurt her, but it may harm ordinary people.

“The efficacy is nice. However, the Reiki inside is too agitated for ill people. Yuan Ye, you need to improve the bolus.”

Yuan Ye nods. Though the prescription only needs normal medicines from the secular world, Yuan Ye feels that the efficacy of the boluses is surprising. As a matter of fact, all medicines contain a certain amount of Reiki. Once the Reiki reaches a certain level, the medicines would be qualified as spirited. Powder made of various kinds of medicines based on Lin’s prescriptions manages to reach a balance among the agitated Reiki. This is so amazing in today’s age.

Yuan Ye immediately realized how valuable Lin’s prescriptions are. He knows that Lin Luoran once exchanged spirited boluses for jade facing the world of cultivation. How could she manage to do that? Does she have prescriptions for spirited boluses just like this? Yuan Ye has a feeling that he now knows the core secrets of the Lin family. While being anxious and fearful, Yuan feels that the responsibility on his shoulder has become heavier.

He is the apprentice of Lin and protecting Lin’s secrets means protecting himself. Yuan Ye makes up his mind that he will keep the prescriptions a secret and never let outsiders know about this.

Frankly, Lin Luoran doesn’t have the magical prescriptions as Yuan thinks so. The prescriptions she gives to Yuan are all from the old book of her family. Yuan Ye has misunderstood. Since Lin doesn’t know about his thoughts, she can’t explain to him.

Yuan Ye is talented in making medicines. Lin Luoran has left the main products which will be launched into the market as the hit, and she won’t do more than giving him advice.

Lin Luoran has more urgent things to do. Crystal and other vampires have taken the old building of Textile University in the west suburb as their post. Are they going to stay in the State of Huaxia for a long term? Lin Luoran doesn’t mind the stay, but she hates them for living so near to her.

After the special department negotiates with the Blood Line and gets no result, Huaxia’s cultivators have to get ready for a war!

That’s right. It has been almost a hundred years since the last international war between cultivators. Crystal’s arrogance has p.i.s.sed off the senior cultivators in Huaxia who are usually modest.

The longer the vampires stay in the R City, the more danger Huaxia citizen’s will be in. Recently, people have started to panic because a lot of people have gone missing. It is said that monsters who drink human blood have appeared around the western suburb, and people are nervous.

This is the exact reason why Master Mu, Master Guo, Chen Yun, and the leader of the Wen family are united to criticize the Blood Line. It’s not allowed whether Crystal and the other vampires are only here for fresh blood, or they want to “turn” some ordinary people and create eastern vampires!

Lin Luoran doesn’t have the inherent hate for “half-monsters” like the vampires like the seniors do. However, she hates the idea of vampires who drink human blood living in the State of Huaxia. Huaxia doesn’t have churches as the western countries do. Thus, it is actually inevitable that citizens in Huaxia will live in terror and chaos.

Compared with spending efforts to kill the eastern vampires who used to be their families or friend, more people would like to stop the disaster from happening.

Crystal’s family has spread the news that Crystal and all the vampires who have followed her to Huaxia no longer belong to the family. Crystal doesn’t care about this at all and Lin Luoran can’t do anything to make her.

The State of Huaxia will not tolerate invasion. The only solution now is to fight!

j.a.pan, the island country near Huaxia, also gets the news. Those sneaky j.a.panese cultivators who train their “s.h.i.+nigami”, want a part of this. Lin Luoran talks to Master Guo on the phone and Master Guo says that it’s the time for the young generation of cultivators to have actual combat. Things are fine if the j.a.panese do nothing. The fact is that j.a.pan is going to involve, and they must pay for that!

Chen Yun, who is a social climber, also impresses Lin Luoran at this crucial moment.

Within a week, he calls back the elites of the special department who are carrying out operations all over the world and sends them to the R City. They settle near Lin’s house like Lin Luoran is the leader. Some individual cultivators have also found houses near Lin’s house, trying to help out or just to be part of the game.

Rong Donglin, who knows nothing about this, recently finds many strangers going in and out of the fancy apartment building he lives in. Although it is normal that renters of these apartments change, the recent situation is just too odd.

Liu Zheng shows up at Lin’s house frequently. The nouris.h.i.+ng of the Soul Wood has reached a crucial point. For Lin Luoran, Baojia’s life is the most important thing. She tells Liu Zheng to keep his master in the dark. The appearance of a cultivator in the level of Bearing Essence is huge for the world and for the crazy Taoist himself. Lin Luoran doesn’t want to interrupt the nouris.h.i.+ng of the Soul Wood and drag him into this until it is necessary.

There is a kind of middle-range Grade One bolus called “Replenis.h.i.+ng Qi Bolus”, which can replenish the Reiki inside of cultivators in an instant. Lin Luoran has made a few batches of the bolus and she plans to spend all of her time before the war to make the bolus. She wouldn’t have come out and joined the discussion if something important didn’t happen today.

Lin Luoran looks at the island in the backyard. The golden coc.o.o.n around Goldie is vibrating more and more fiercely. Lin has a feeling that a new Goldie will incubate from the strange coc.o.o.n tonight.

This is a great thing when the situation is depressing.

What would the new Goldie be like? Lin Luoran looks forward to it.

***********

The flowering season of the cherry bay has pa.s.sed, and the withered little yellow flowers don’t smell fragrant anymore.

The vampires that reside in the old campus of Textile University have buried themselves in the fascinating nightlife in the R City. They go to clubs and bars and sometimes have a little piece of “dessert”. Their lives in Huaxia have been great and they get to keep the luxury and elegance of the Blood Line. Life in Huaxia is much more thrilling than the boring Britain, and the vampires who have followed Cyrstal believe that they’ve made the right choice.

How can these skinny easterners’ blood taste so good? The vampires all put the ban on turning new vampires behind their heads and dive in the pleasure brought by the fresh blood.

A faint moan comes from the bas.e.m.e.nt of the Textile University. A pregnant Huaxia woman is soaked by sweat because of the pain. Her water is all over the mattress. The woman is about to give birth to her baby.

“Please, take me to a hospital… Please. Please save my baby…” Her love for her baby helps her willpower conquer the pain. She exerts herself to roll over and grabs Crystal’s pants. The pregnant woman can feel the cold skin of the foreign woman through the pants, but she doesn’t have the time to think.

It has been over a month since these foreigners kidnapped her. She doesn’t know what they want to do because the foreigners treat them well — that’s right, the pregnant woman is not the only one who is kidnapped. They offer Huaxia women nice food and clothes. They leave the women in the dark bas.e.m.e.nt and they never ask for ransom money from their family nor seem to plan to kill the women. They just leave the women there. The pregnant woman is so desperate that she grabs Crystal’s pants and asks for help.

“Is she going to give birth soon?” Crystal frowns. She doesn’t like the crowded bas.e.m.e.nt and the turbid air.

A female vampire with blue eyes replies respectfully, “Miss Crystal, to put it more precisely, she is going to incubate.” If Lin Luoran were here, she would recognize the voice of the dolly European girl. It is the “princess Sissi” who led Lin to the party that day.

Hearing about the “incubation”, Crystal stops frowning. She has waited for this moment for a long time and she looks forward to it.

Crystal even bends down and holds the pregnant woman’s hand. She says in Huaxia language with a foreign accent, “Don’t be afraid. You’ll be ok. We’ll let you go after you have the baby and you can leave with a lot of money. You must believe in yourself that you will give birth to the baby safely.”

The pregnant woman was a farmer before she was taken to the bas.e.m.e.nt. Crystal was talking to the other vampires in English so the woman has no idea that the foreigners used the word “incubation” to refer to the birth of her baby.

However, Crystal’s comfort makes the pregnant woman feel grateful and trustful. Though Crystal’s hand is cold, it gives the woman hope.

The woman holds Crystal’s hand tightly. Soon, she drowns in the pain in her belly. Struggling and half-consciously, she hears the foreign woman says, “Come on. You’ve got this… You’ll be a good mother.”

Baby, my baby. The pregnant woman doesn’t know how long it has been. Then, she feels that something is pushed out of her body. The woman is strengthless. She hears the cry of the baby and pa.s.ses out before she can take a look at it.

The woman wonders if her baby is a boy or a girl… The unconscious woman doesn’t hear the scream of other people in the bas.e.m.e.nt mixed with the baby’s cry.
