Chapter 46: A Marriage Proposal

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The electric eel ate nearly 50 Sabertooth Viperfish in one sitting. Its belly bulged like a circle and it could not eat anymore. It then slowly returned to its cave.

500 experience points were gained!

As expected of the Four Tyrants, the experience points they provided were indeed high!

The electric eel clone now had 1343 experience points out of 3000 experience points.

At this rate, the electric eel clone would soon advance to a Late Stage Level One beast. This made Chu Lingjun excited.

After the electric eel clone returned to its cave, it advanced a little further and swam to the shipwreck. Then, its metal body covered in armor dived up little by little and clung to the shore wall.

The Electric Field skill surrounded the electric eel clone, spreading towards the forest on the river bank.

Suddenly, trees and strange beasts emitting golden light appeared in the mind of the electric eel clone.

Among them, the most disharmonious were two camouflaged sleeping bags hanging horizontally in the canopy with garbage surrounding them!

Based on his familiarity and usage over the past month, Chu Lingjun could already determine the strength of the other party by the intensity of the golden light emitted by the object.

At that moment, according to the intensity of the golden light emitted by the other party, it showed that they were all Rank One advanced martial artists!

This strength was even higher than Chu Lingjun and the electric eel.

Chu Lingjun squinted his eyes as he looked at the two of them.

This was the figure that the electric eel had accidentally discovered three days ago when the other side came to the river to get water.

After getting the water, the other party had been crouching on the tree crown, as if he was monitoring something.

The two of them had been monitoring the sunken ship of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.

There were a total of three forces now.

In the past few days, Chu Ling had thought of letting the electric eel clone sneak into the shipwreck and steal the treasure from the ship, but it was to no avail.

The electric eel searched for a long while for an entrance and found that the sunken ship was quite sturdy. Except for a hole at the bottom, everything else was intact.

The River-Turning Rat’s burrow was right in front of the only hole in the shipwreck.

It didn’t allow other exotic beasts to get close to it casually.

It was even more impossible to force it down because he was not strong enough!

The biology teacher was right. There were a total of three River-Turning Rats living in the cave.

The River-Turning Rat that Chu Lingjun saw the first time was the youngest and weakest. It was an Early Stage Level Two beast.

As for the other two old River-Turning Rats, they were both Level Three!

The River-Turning Rat was a powerful mutated beast, and water was its home ground… It was impossible for the Wild Wave Company to overthrow them!

However, Chu Lingjun’s biggest concern was why the Wild Wave Company was monitoring him.

The two people on the tree were calm and composed. They looked like they were monitoring the situation with a serious and responsible attitude. It seemed that they were confident in dealing with the River-Turning Rat… Were they waiting for the right time for something to happen?

There was not enough evidence to solidify an answer, so Chu Lingjun shook his head and let the electric eel clone return to the cave to digest the food.

After the gathering, Chu Lingjun asked Shen Yanhu for a lip-reading textbook.

The Electric Field skill allowed Chu Lingjun to have a god-like perspective, overlooking everything within a hundred meters of him.

He could see the two members of the Wild Wave Company communicating, but he did not know what the two of them were talking about!

This made Chu Lingjun curious.

After thinking for a long time, Chu Lingjun finally found a way to break out of this situation, and that was to learn lip reading!

As long as he could read lips, he would naturally be able to understand what the two of them were talking about.

Although Shen Yanhu was puzzled, he still gave it to Chu Lingjun.

Chu Lingjun was the top student in the grade. Every teacher was willing to fulfill the requirements of a top student.

Chu Lingjun immediately returned home excitedly after receiving the lip-reading textbook.

Today, however, there were guests at home.

“Mom, Chu Yue, I’m back.”

Chu Lingjun entered the room and saw that there were two guests sitting in the living room.

One of them was about 50 years old. She had a red wooly long dress and gold and silver accessories. She looked quite elegant.

The other one was about sixteen or seventeen years old, she looked sweet.

“Hello, Aunty Mei, Lulu.” Chu Lingjun recognized the two people on the mahogany sofa.

“Hello, Lingjun.” Upon seeing Chu Lingjun’s sudden return, the girl called Lulu who was sitting on the sofa stood up and replied in a reserved and flustered manner.

Chu Lingjun had interacted with Lulu a few times and knew that she had

always been introverted and shy, so he didn’t mind her actions.

Aunty Mei was her mother’s distant cousin, and Lulu was her daughter. She was also in her first year of high school.

In the past month, ever since he had awakened his lightning power, his house had become lively. He often had relatives and friends visiting him.

At most, there would be a few batches a day.

Chu Lingjun didn’t know most of these people.

Because of Chu Yue’s illness, whether it was his mother, Fang Shuping, or his father, Chu Xingguo, they had asked for help from all the relatives they knew.

Under such circumstances, no one wanted to get close to them, so they tacitly kept their distance.

“Oh? Lingjun, you’re out of school? Come, come join us.” On the sofa, Fang Shuping smiled and waved at Chu Lingjun.

In the past month, Fang Shuping’s complexion had become much brighter, and she had become confident and cheerful. Her eyes were filled with hope and anticipation for the future. She was no longer as gloomy and silent as before.

“Alright.” Since his mother had spoken, Chu Lingjun had no objections. He did not want to embarrass his mother.

As expected, Chu Lingjun only briefly mentioned his superpower and the treatment the school gave him. Aunty Mei and Lulu’s faces were already filled with envy, and they kept praising Fang Shuping for giving birth to a good son.

Lulu kept peeking at Chu Lingjun.

Chu Lingjun didn’t hold any grudges against Aunty Mei and Lulu, and he didn’t make any sarcastic remarks either.

In the past, it was normal for any family to be unwilling to borrow money. After all, money does not come easily.

The two of them stayed at home for dinner before leaving. During this time, Lulu’s cheeks were flushed red as she tried her best to talk to Chu Lingjun.

Chu Lingjun smiled and responded to each question one by one.

After sending the two of them off, they returned to the sofa in the living room.

Fang Shuping suddenly smiled at Chu Lingjun and said in a shocking manner, “Lingjun, do you want a wife”

Chu Lingjun looked at his mother in confusion.

“What do you think of Lulu?” Fang Shuping pointed at the gate of the residential area with her chin and continued to speak with a smile.

“What do you mean?”

“Aunty Mei has come to our house three times this month.”

“It seems so.”

“She came today to propose marriage. She wants Lulu to marry you!”

A marriage proposal?!
