Chapter 375: Wen Wen's Request - Pretending to Cultivate in Kindergarten

Chapter 375: Wen Wen's Request "You've gifted the demon cult girl with a custom-made marriage ring, and the spiritual link with her has reached its maximum." "Your spiritual energy level has increased by two." "Your affinity with all things has risen to level four." "Level four Affinity with All Things enhances as follows: Any contract-bound entity receives a fivefold teaching enhancement from you, and when they enhance their abilities, they return tenfold spiritual energy experience to you." "Those not under contract who receive your guidance will also gain double the teaching enhancement, learning faster, and will now return corresponding spiritual energy experience to you when they improve." "Your affinity with all things in the world has reached a mythic grade. There are no more secrets to you in all things." "Your current spiritual energy level is eighty-five: Incarnation Stage." Lin Zhengran didn't expect to level up four times in a single day, and beyond other improvements, the new effect alone was extremely beneficial. Now, all employees under the Zhengshi Company, as long as they undergo his training and advance, he also gains the corresponding experience. While leveling up becomes harder the higher you go, this broad feedback loop means the future pace of improvement will only accelerate. In the afternoon, Lin Zhengran and Jiang Jing Shi finished signing all the accumulated company documents for the day. Han Wen Wen's secretarial skills had reached a proficient level, especially her adeptness at handling hidden affairs, so everyone returned to the villa together. There was, however, an issue to be mindful of: the engagement ring. Before leaving the office, Lin Zhengran instructed Han Wen Wen not to wear the ring continuously for the next couple of days but to keep it stored away. Little Fox was puzzled, "Why?! I don't want to!" She pouted, clutching the precious ring defiantly, "This is the engagement ring from Brother Zhengran; no way am I taking it off!" Lin Zhengran explained, "I haven't proposed to Qing Qing and Li Li yet. If you return wearing the ring, wouldn't they know I proposed to you already? There wouldn't be any surprise left for them." Han Wen Wen blinked, finding the reasoning undeniable. She released her grip on the ring reluctantly, "True... But what do you mean by 'them?' What about Sister Jiang?" "I've already proposed to Jing Shi." "You have? When?!" Lin Zhengran replied, "Recently as well. You're observant; you should've noticed that Jing Shi's been wearing a new ring lately, right?" Han Wen Wen nodded, caught off guard, "I did see Sister Jiang with a new ring and asked her about it, but she... she used to always wear a ring, so I didn't think much of it. So it was Brother Zhengran's engagement ring?!" Reflecting on it now, Little Fox recalled Sister Jiang's inexplicable smile when she asked about the new ring, which now made sense! "Even the clever Wen Wen misses things sometimes." Han Wen Wen puffed her cheeks, casting a jealous look at Lin Zhengran, "Who would've guessed? Who would've thought Brother Zhengran would propose so early? I completely fell for Sister Jiang's usual behavior, and besides," she grumbled with evident jealousy, "why didn't Brother Zhengran propose to me first? Why wasn't Wen Wen the first?" Lin Zhengran embraced Han Wen Wen, gently patting her head. "Because back then, Jing Shi had lost her ring. When I was helping her find a replacement, I thought, why not just make each of you a ring? And since I was making them anyway, a proposal was the natural next step. So, does Wen Wen understand now why Jing Shi was first?" Han Wen Wen mock-growled, nipping at Lin Zhengran's neck, muttering, "I understand, but I'm still jealous... And now Brother Zhengran wants me to take off the ring, which makes me unhappy. Unless Brother Zhengran fulfills one small request, I'll meet yours." Lin Zhengran was curious, "What do you want now?" Han Wen Wen wrapped her arms around his waist, smiling slyly, "Oh, nothing much. Next week, when it's Wen Wen's turn by the draw, I want Brother Zhengran to spend at least seven hours in bed with me from morning till night. Is that okay? You can't be busy with anything else during that time." Lin Zhengran looked exasperatedly at Han Wen Wen. Fearing his refusal, Han Wen Wen continued to nuzzle, pleading, "Brother Zhengran, please agree~ Taking off the ring is a big concession for me; for anyone else, it's impossible. I'm already giving a lot." "But doing that, we'd get nothing else done all day." "Exactly, as long as Brother Zhengran does it with me," she had barely finished her sentence before Lin Zhengran playfully tapped her head, leaving Little Fox feeling aggrieved. Lin Zhengran mildly scolded, "You've been speaking more frankly lately." Han Wen Wen looked down repentantly, tracing circles on the spot on his neck where she had bitten, "In front of Brother Zhengran, I'm not shy. I'm your woman." "Addicted, are you?" Han Wen Wen looked up at Lin Zhengran, gazing steadfastly and boldly, yet bashful: "Yes, addicted! Ever since the rules were set, Brother Zhengran gets four days a week, but Wen Wen only gets one! Just one! Even with the occasional extra like today, it’s still not enough. Seven or eight times a week isn’t enough! I just want you, I want to be close to Brother Zhengran." She placed her hand on Lin Zhengran's lips, "Agree~ say you'll agree~" Lin Zhengran was resigned to the Little Fox's persistent advances and chuckled, "Alright, next week when it's your turn, we’ll book a room, and I won't leave the bed from morning till night. I won't do anything else, just focus on being with you." Han Wen Wen bit her lip in delight, blushing and smiling, "Promise!" "Promise." Little Fox gave him a peck on the cheek before finally, albeit reluctantly, removing the ring from her left ring finger and placing it securely in her pocket. Once Lin Zhengran had proposed to everyone, she would wear it again. Saturday night passed uneventfully. After returning to the villa with Jiang Jing Shi and Han Wen Wen, they had dinner, shared laughter, watched some television, and then retired to a shared bed for rest. In the blink of an eye, it was Sunday. Today marked the day Han Wen Wen officially began live streaming, as well as the final countdown of thirty days for Jiang Xue Li's music competition registration. In thirty days, Lin Zhengran was to accompany Jiang Xue Li to another city for the country’s largest music selection competition. As for Xiao He Qing, she understood Lin Zhengran's busy schedule this year and wasn’t in a rush; she planned to sign up for competitions next year. At 8:30 a.m., Han Wen Wen sat in her private study room, in front of the computer, launching the live streaming software. Everyone else gathered around to observe. Han Wen Wen activated her vixen avatar, a character based on an anthropomorphic female fox, created specifically for streaming. Despite being an avatar, the facial features and attributes of this vixen closely resembled an anime version of Han Wen Wen herself, making her likeness unmistakable. A second computer was set up in the study, with Lin Zhengran also joining Han Wen Wen for a duet live stream. Wearing her headset, Han Wen Wen glanced at the fan comments and asked Lin Zhengran, "Brother Zhengran, shall I start the stream? The fans are all waiting." "Mhm, go ahead." Han Wen Wen initiated the live stream, and the fox avatar appeared on the screen. The Little Fox waved with a bright smile, addressing her fans: "Hello, everyone, it’s Wen Wen. Before, I only uploaded videos; today marks my first official live stream. Thank you, everyone. Thank you to all the fans supporting Wen Wen's debut stream!"
