Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 511 - 8: I’m a Woman (8)

Shen Kezhong watched but didn’t show any reaction.

The Shen Family’s three sons: the eldest has average health, his body technique is only at the Second Rank and has never been to the battlefield.

The second son is quite good, comparable to the Li Family’s boys, with Sixth Rank strength and still improving, with a good temperament.

The third son seems talented too, as long as he cultivates diligently, he will be able to go to the battlefield in time.

However, the third son is quite lively and can’t settle down.

He was fooled by Luo Xiao back then and has now been coaxed back by him.

To be honest, Shen Kezhong doesn’t know what Luo Xiao’s real intentions are.

That’s also why he didn’t intervene, he wants to see what Luo Xiao’s purpose truly is. After all, there’s no point in guarding against thieves perpetually.

Why did Luo Xiao target Li Shuning, for example?

Frankly, Luo Xiao, a dignified admiral targeting a girl, it’s quite embarrassing.

But at least it’s clear he has hostility towards the Li Family, so what about their Shen Family?

Let the foolish son suffer a bit more, to provoke him, to let him understand what’s beneficial, it’s good too.

Of course, Shen Kezhong isn’t worried that Shen Jian will be in any danger.

If they really wanted to target Shen Jian, they wouldn’t need to exert such effort, right?

The main thing is, from his observations, Luo Xiao is actually quite good to Shen Jian, so let’s observe for now.

To be honest, the Li Family and Shen Family appear similar, but in reality, the Li Family is stronger. After all, those five sons, the strongest is Eighth Rank, and even the weakest is at Fifth Rank. They are the true future of the Li Family.

The Shen Family, though they seem vibrant, can’t compare to the Li Family. If he encounters any mishaps, the Shen Family is doomed.

The wife is also not dependable.

So Shen Kezhong is quite eager for Shen Jian to marry Li Shuning. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

This way, the relations between the Li and Shen Families would be closer, and with marriage ties, much more reliable than mere friendships.

He clearly knows the significance Li Shuning holds in the eyes of the Li Family people.

On the Purple Cloud Star, although Luo Xiao and Shen Jian’s relationship improved, Shen Jian often went to play with Li Shuning.

Li Shuning was quite repulsed by Luo Xiao, and Shen Jian didn’t dare to take Luo Xiao with him.

One day, Shen Jian was about to go find Li Shuning to play, but Luo Xiao called him over.

"Xiao Jian, wait for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Shen Jian, a bit curious, sat back down.

During this time, he could spend some time with Luo Xiao, who would tell him interesting stories every day, such as annihilating bandits or cleaning up the Insect Clan. Shen Jian, being a young lad, was still quite interested in these.

"Xiao Jian, do you have feelings for Li Shuning?"

Shen Jian, having his feelings exposed, became a bit embarrassed, even blushing a bit.

Luo Xiao felt furious inside, yet his face still showed concern: "Xiao Jian, I know you two grew up together, but Li Shuning is already at Fourth Rank in spiritual power. Even your second brother might not win against her. With your current strength, do you really think you can pursue her?"

Shen Jian was taken aback, then a bit confused. They used to have such fun together without any issues, so why does strength matter now?

Luo Xiao laughed: "You’re a boy, and she’s a girl. If she’s weaker than you, it’s no big deal. You can protect her. But if you’re weaker and need her to protect you during dangerous times, what do you think others would say about you?"

Shen Jian was silent.

Luo Xiao knew the opportunity had come.

"Xiao Jian, do you want to become stronger? Make Li Shuning proud of you?" Luo Xiao still felt a bit bitter, needing to use another woman as bait to be with Shen Jian.

Shen Jian looked up: "Brother Luo, do you have a way? Don’t you dislike Sister Shuning? You almost killed her back then."

Luo Xiao replied with a smile: "Xiao Jian, I just misunderstood Li Shuning back then. I didn’t mean any harm. She’s just a little girl, after all. If you want to enhance your strength, I’m planning to clear out the Insect Clan and eliminate the Thief Gang soon. It’s perfect for you to join and engage in actual combat, which is very beneficial for improving your skills."

Shen Jian thought for a while before saying, "Brother Luo, thank you. I’ll go back and discuss this with my family first. I also need to think carefully."

"Okay, you do that, but no matter what you do, strength is the most important," Luo Xiao advised.

Shen Jian went back and first looked for Li Shuning.

He told her everything Luo Xiao had said to him.

Li Shuning didn’t expect the story to unfold this way, but it didn’t matter; it was what she wanted anyway.

After some thought, Li Shuning said, "Wait a moment."

Then she went to her room and picked a sturdy necklace from her jewelry.

She infused it with her spiritual power.

At her level, attaching spiritual power to other objects was already quite easy.

The necklace had a black bead on it, which looked quite nice.

With the spiritual power attached, the black bead appeared even more lustrous.

Li Shuning walked out and handed the necklace to Shen Jian.

"Shen Jian, this necklace holds a Lucky Bead. You’re well aware of how much effort we put into acquiring it. Now, I’m giving it to you. When you’re out there, anything can happen. Wearing it offers some peace of mind. Shen Jian, honestly, whether or not you improve your strength, you will always be my best friend. So, take care."

Shen Jian was initially touched. He knew how much effort Li Shuning had put into getting the Lucky Bead. Presenting it to him felt very moving, but her final words saddened him a little.

Oh well, let’s talk about it after he becomes stronger first.

Afterward, Shen Jian went home and discussed the matter with his family.

Shen Kezhong was the first to agree.

Speaking of which, the Tenth Rank strongmen of the Alliance each have their own responsibilities. He and Mr. Li are responsible for guarding some things and seldom leave the Purple Cloud Star.

Luo Xiao, however, was more independent, so having him take Shen Jian out for training was ideal.

Just in case, Shen Kezhong tampered with Shen Jian’s Light Computer a bit while he wasn’t paying attention. This way, whatever Shen Jian did would be visible, avoiding being blindsided by Luo Xiao.

Gu Xiaoyan was reluctant.

She got scolded by Shen Kezhong, who said she was too lenient, spoiling their son.

After it was decided, Shen Jian found Luo Xiao, expressing his desire to join him in eradicating the remaining Insect Clan.
