My Right Hand Allows Me to Merge Thousands of Races-Chapter 54 - 52: Reliable Underage Male

"Brother Lu, stop talking, she’s coming over." Wuer whispered to his seatmate.

Lu Xun nodded, sat upright, pretending to do homework.

After all, talking behind someone’s back isn’t good... and it’s even worse if they find out!

Unexpectedly, Wei’Er walked over from the front, and paused suddenly at the desk of the two brothers.

"Our Elf Race isn’t indifferent, not as ’cold’ as you think."

Her beautiful green amber eyes showed a serious expression as she looked at the person and the skeleton, suddenly speaking out.

Damn! She heard it? Lu Xun and Wuer instantly and subconsciously shrank their necks, feeling very guilty.

Who would’ve thought this Elf’s ears were so good, not growing long for nothing! Even at such a distance, she could hear their whispered conversations.

Before the two had time to explain, her clear and pleasant voice rang out again, calmly continuing:

"I like music, such as the tenor saxophone and flute, the melody is very soothing and beautiful; I also like reading, especially science fiction novels from the Human Federation; my favorite food is also from the Human Federation, called ’fruit salad’; I also like flowers, white and purple ones..."

She continued to talk in a string, without stopping.

Lu Xun and Wuer listened dumbfounded, their mouths slowly opening wide.

What is she doing?

There’s no need for such detailed self-introduction even for matchmaking, right?

She’s indeed angry!!

"...In short, we Elves also have a lot of desires and cravings. Our pursuit, longing, and obsession with certain beautiful things can far exceed that of humans."

Wei’Er’s flawless little face held a serious expression: "Lu, Da Gu, we Elves aren’t ’low desire,’ just ’some desires are low.’ Uh, using Human Federation words, some are ’Buddhist-like,’ you two were wrong."

Lu Xun and Wuer exchanged a glance, seemingly asking each other—who goes first?

Wuer suddenly stood up, his childlike voice innocent yet loud as he apologized: "We were wrong, sorry!!"

"Cough, my bad." Lu Xun coughed and followed expressing his apology.

Wei’Er was stunned for a moment, then seemed to react, waving her hand and hurriedly explained:

"No, no, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t mean to blame you, I just... uh, I’m naturally sensitive to expressions of self-awareness from others, and when I hear inaccurate statements, I tend to subconsciously correct them... It often annoys people... Uh, please consider what I said earlier as unsaid, don’t mind it, and don’t take it to heart."

Oh, I see.

Lu Xun and Wuer suddenly understood.

This kind of personality is indeed quite common; many people in teaching professions, to some extent, have this habit, always instinctively correcting others’ words, with a lower tolerance for "errors" than ordinary people.

They actually mean no harm, even have good intentions, but sometimes when performing "instinctive corrections," they subconsciously ignore the occasion.

Only after "instructing" others do they react and realize they perhaps shouldn’t have spoken... But it’s too late for regrets.

It’s just surprising that Wei’Er, as an "icy cold" "Iceberg Beauty Elf," would have such compulsive tendencies, it’s quite unexpected, and contrasts with her appearance.

She was already hard to make friends with due to her "aloofness," and now, even if she makes friends, her personality would likely cause the relationships to not last.

No wonder she wanted to transfer schools, probably partly because of this reason.

"Cough cough, no problem, no problem, as long as you’re not angry." Wuer saw the situation was awkward and hurriedly tried to ease the tension, "Oh well, your personality is actually fine, it doesn’t annoy people, I’m not annoyed anyway, what about you, Brother Lu?"

Its soul fire flickered in its eyes, frantically giving "looks" to Lu Xun.

Lu Xun shrugged, indicating "whatever you say is right."

"Phew~"

Wei’Er let out a sigh of relief, nodded, and then didn’t linger, quickly returning to her seat, sitting quietly.

She looked at her classmates around her, joking and laughing, and then at her own empty surroundings, involuntarily sighing in her heart.

’Grandpa was right, handling interpersonal relationships is an art, and I’m not good at it... Didn’t inherit grandpa’s social genes.’

Wei’Er thought.

Grandpa taught her the nine principles for handling relationships: choosing goodness, balancing, positivity, sincerity, understanding, trustworthiness, equality, compatibility, moderation.

She felt she was working hard, but things didn’t go as desired, no friends meant no friends... To this day, she hasn’t experienced much "friendship."

’I hope transferring to the new school will bring some changes.’ She thought.

.

Noon after school.

Surprisingly, Wuer didn’t stick with Lu Xun to go to the hot spring, but went quietly on his own.

Probably afraid Brother Lu would "scratch" him again, last time was awfully awkward for the kid.

Lu Xun didn’t mind, he had other things to do anyway, no time for the hot spring.

After leaving school, he went to the supermarket to buy some groceries, then called home.

"What? You’re not coming home for lunch?" — Aunt’s voice immediately went up eight degrees upon hearing Lu Xun wasn’t coming back.

"I really want to come home for lunch, but a friend invited me to her place for a few days, can’t refuse such hospitality." Lu Xun sighed helplessly, "Don’t worry, I won’t stay out overnight, I’ll be back later."

He did want to go home, his tastes had been spoiled by Aunt’s chef-quality cooking.

But Li Xiaoning almost died, even if she was luckily saved, she’s seriously injured, bedridden, unable to move... and that’s indeed his fault.

Yesterday was really dangerous, his intention was to deliver money for Old Octopus, fulfilling a promise to him... but brought Death God to the father and daughter instead.

If Li Xiaoning and her father died because of it, then the failed surgery Old Octopus conducted years ago meant he wiped out their whole family, killing five people.

Luckily, taking timely remedial action turned the situation around.

If he hadn’t been careless and got outsmarted by a monkey, this unnecessary disaster wouldn’t have befallen them.

...Even though these kinds of accidents are indeed unpredictable, it’s not like we’re paranoid—who would guard against a palm-sized monkey in everyday life?

But Lu Xun didn’t want to defend himself.

You solve the problems you create.

"A male classmate or a female classmate?" His aunt sensed something was off and asked.

"A female." Lu Xun said casually.

If it were another student being asked such a question by an elder, they might stammer, afraid of misunderstandings.

But Lu Xun was different.

As his aunt would say, he was the "most dependable minor male" she had ever seen in her life!

Why would he shy away from saying it? He’d even dare to bring a female classmate home for the night!

Just that there’s no need; women would only slow down his punches!!

"A female classmate? Is she pretty?" his aunt asked.

"She’s alright." Lu Xun replied and added, "She’s young, just one year older than Xiao Yu."

The implication was for her not to think too much about it.

On the other end of the phone, his aunt paused for two seconds, then said: "Okay, keep her company, and bring her home for a meal when you have time."

"I won’t. Having Xie Manyu fighting for food with me at home is enough; nobody else!!" Lu Xun replied without hesitation.

Aunt: "..."

You’re really stubborn, aren’t you?! she thought to herself.

She thought her nephew had suddenly become more open and started hanging out with the opposite sex, but he was still so straightforward!!

She couldn’t help but start worrying about her nephew’s future. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

...

Shuiyun Stream District.

Building 5, Room 302.

Lu Xun opened the door with groceries, then quietly closed it.

He glanced at Li Xiaoning on the sofa.

She was too weak, still fast asleep by noon, her sleeping face beautiful, with a hint of weariness between her brows, delicately charming.

Lu Xun didn’t disturb her.

Instead, he went to the kitchen to put away the groceries, then headed to Li Zhongxian’s room to administer medicine to resist the erosion of Medusa Poison and slow the rate of cell dissolution.

Beep~

He pressed a button on a machine, and a dark green medicine flowed through semi-transparent tubes into Li Zhongxian’s body.

He had also changed his uncle’s medicine before, so he was very familiar with the process.

As he was about to leave, the camera moved, and text appeared on the display screen—

[How is my daughter doing? Is she alright?]

"She’s fine, don’t worry," Lu Xun said, "I’ll be here these three days."

[Thank you.]——Li Zhongxian said.

"With great power comes guilt, so once she’s recovered, make sure she quickly spends that sixty million, get a proxy buyer, contact the prosthetic body hospital—you know what to do, right?"

[Of course, the unwritten rules of the prosthetic body industry aren’t a secret; I know what to do, I’ll teach her.]

Most civilian prosthetic body stores are actually global chain stores, with headquarters in other self-looping cities.

During peacetime, each self-looping city within the Human Federation is relatively independent politically and militarily, minding their own business, each having its own city regulations and military rules. You can’t control me, nor I you.

The boundaries are clear.

Very independent!

When significant interests like Rift Resources affecting the city’s lifeline arise, self-looping cities will argue heads-off, even engaging in small-scale bloody conflicts... very martial!

Similar to what Lu Xun saw in his previous life, where two villages fought over a river, with hundreds directly clashing on a plain, creating a spectacular scene!

Not to mention such "business wars" in the prosthetic body industry.

People don’t care about dirty or clean money; as long as the amount is large enough, they don’t need to respect Jinghai City... only fools forgo profit!

Hey, just because you’re a second-level city, if you’re not happy about it, go ahead and file a lawsuit with the Human Federation court.

[Alas, all those who were infected with Medusa Poison like me have passed away, leaving only one fellow patient and me barely hanging on. He should also be near his limit; unfortunately, he didn’t have the fortune to meet a benefactor like Lin Sheng as I did...]——Li Zhongxian typed out a text.

He felt emotional, not expecting that among hundreds of victims, only he endured until dawn, bathing in the light of rebirth.

"Yeah, you’re indeed lucky... that’s all for now, I won’t disturb you."

Lu Xun smiled and left the room.

The "fellow patient" he referred to was actually his uncle.

But what Li Zhongxian didn’t know was that Xie Zhenhai would recover even sooner!!

The bio-mimetic body was already on its way, and even the surgery was scheduled for the beginning of next month.
