180: Chapter 180 The Daily Life of Mother and Daughter

The next evening.

On the training ground, Lin Ruoxue fell to the ground once again.

But this time, she scrambled up faster.

"Not bad."

Lin Yuan nodded: "You've improved by thirty percent compared to yesterday."

"If you keep up this pace, you'll be able to break through to B-rank Psychic Ability within a month."

Lin Ruoxue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled.

Her hard work had been recognized.

Just then.

"Lin Yuan."

Lin Wanrou's voice rang out.

She walked slowly into the training ground, having changed into a tight-fitting training suit.

It perfectly outlined the curves of a mature woman.

At over thirty years old, she was at the age when a woman is most charming.

"Madam Lin?"

Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised.

Although Lin Wanrou had been with him for quite a while, Lin Yuan hadn't paid much attention to her since he unlocked the supplies.

His main purpose initially was just to unlock those supplies.

Furthermore, Lin Wanrou had been completely indifferent to him.

Since Lin Yuan didn't have much interest in romance, he had neglected Lin Wanrou.

"Just call me Wanrou."

Lin Wanrou's face flushed slightly, but she gathered her courage and said:

"I... I also want to ask you to teach me how to become stronger."

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Yesterday the daughter, today the mother?

"Reason?"

Lin Wanrou bit her lip, her eyes flickering evasively:

"I... I saw how hard Ruoxue is working..."

"As a mother, I cannot fall behind."

Her hands were clenched into fists, her knuckles white from the pressure:

"And... I also want to become stronger."

"I want to protect Ruoxue, and I don't want her to worry about me every time."

Lin Yuan looked at her nervous appearance and asked softly:

"Is that all?"

Lin Wanrou's body trembled slightly.

She lifted her head; her eyes held struggle, hesitation, and a trace of feelings she didn't even want to admit to herself.

"I..."

She wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back.

As a mother, how could she...

"Mom."

Lin Ruoxue suddenly took her mother's hand:

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"I can tell."

Lin Wanrou looked at her daughter in shock.

Lin Ruoxue blushed and whispered:

"Mom, the way you look at Brother Lin..."

"It's the same as me."

Having her secret exposed by her daughter, Lin Wanrou's face turned crimson instantly.

"Ruoxue, I..."

"Mom, it's okay."

Lin Ruoxue said earnestly:

"In this Apocalypse, just staying alive is not easy."

"If... if you also like Lin Yuan..."

She took a deep breath:

"I don't mind."

"After all, he has saved us so many times and treated us so well..."

"It's normal to have these feelings."

Lin Wanrou looked at her sensible daughter, her eyes moistening.

She slowly turned to Lin Yuan, her voice very soft, as if afraid to disturb something:

"Lin Yuan, I... I might have feelings for you..."

She couldn't say the word "like," but the emotion was already very clear.

"I know I'm not good enough for you; I have a daughter, and I'm older..."

"But I can't control my heart."

"If... if you don't mind..."

She gathered all her courage:

"I want to stay by your side, together with Ruoxue."

"Not... not that kind of relationship."

She hurriedly explained:

"It's just... I just want to do something for you, to repay your kindness..."

Lin Ruoxue chuckled on the side.

Her mother was still too reserved; she clearly liked him but didn't dare to admit it.

Lin Yuan looked at Lin Wanrou's nervous appearance, his heart stirred slightly.

This woman...

Even though her intentions were already obvious, she was still trying hard to maintain her reserve as a mother.

This kind of subtlety, unique to mature women, was actually even more heart-fluttering.

"Wanrou."

Lin Yuan walked closer to her, his voice gentle:

"Age is not an issue; I never care about such things."

"You are very beautiful and possess a mature charm that young girls don't have."

Lin Wanrou's heart rate accelerated instantly.

He... he was complimenting her?

"As for the repayment you mentioned..."

Lin Yuan chuckled:

"I never saved you for the sake of repayment."

"If you really..."

He paused, looking at Lin Wanrou's evasive eyes:

"...have those feelings for me, then don't force yourself."

"Just let nature take its course."

Lin Wanrou lifted her head, tears shimmering in her eyes.

She hadn't expected Lin Yuan to be so considerate.

"Mom, don't cry."

Lin Ruoxue hurriedly comforted her:

"This is a good thing! Lin Yuan has accepted us!"

Lin Wanrou broke into a smile through her tears and tapped her daughter lightly:

"Who said I was crying?"

"I'm just... happy."

"Alright then."

Lin Yuan nodded:

"Since you both want to become stronger, I will train you together."

"But I must make it clear..."

His gaze became serious:

"Training will be very hard; you might get injured, or even face life-threatening danger."

"Are you ready?"

"We are ready!"

The mother and daughter said in unison again.

Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction:

"Then let's begin."

"First, the two of you spar."

"Don't hold back; use your full strength."

The mother and daughter looked at each other, both seeing the determination in the other's eyes.

"Mom, be careful!"

Lin Ruoxue struck first, ice spikes whistling through the air!

Lin Wanrou's figure flashed, and she dodged them with ease.

Her Superpower was wind-based; although it was only D-rank, it was very fast.

"Ruoxue, your attacks are too direct."

Lin Wanrou advised while dodging:

"You must learn to combine feints with real attacks."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, sending out several wind blades.

They appeared to be frontal attacks, but in reality, they were forcing Ruoxue to move in a specific direction.

"Mom, you're amazing!"

Lin Ruoxue said in surprise.

She hadn't expected her mother's combat awareness to be so strong.

"Back in the shelter, in order to protect you, Mom risked her life many times."

Lin Wanrou smiled:

"It's just that after having Lin Yuan's protection, I rarely had to make a move."

Mentioning Lin Yuan made them both blush.

But they quickly threw themselves back into training.

Lin Yuan observed from the side, occasionally offering pointers.

It had to be said that the rapport between this mother and daughter was very high.

Perhaps it was the blood relation, but they seemed to be able to sense each other's thoughts.

Their coordination was quite fluid.

"Stop."

Half an hour later, Lin Yuan called a halt:

"Your coordination is good, but your individual strength is too weak."

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

He quietly activated his B-rank Psychic Ability—Crisis Insight.

This Superpower could not only sense danger but also reveal a person's true attitude toward him.

Within his field of vision, Lin Wanrou and Lin Ruoxue were both emitting a pure green light.

That was the highest level of loyalty—absolute trust!

Without a trace of impurity, it was so pure that it was heart-fluttering.

Among all the women he had met, only a very small number could reach this level.

"Wanrou, Ruoxue."

Lin Yuan's voice became solemn:

"From now on, you will have unlimited access to d-rank energy mineral water and soul strengthening pills."

"What?!"

The mother and daughter exclaimed simultaneously.

d-rank energy mineral water could quickly restore physical stamina and Superpower, and soul strengthening pills were even more precious pills that could strengthen Spiritual Power!

Such resources were worth a fortune in the Apocalypse!

Lin Wanrou's voice trembled:

"This is too valuable..."

This was a privilege only for the women Lin Yuan trusted most.

Lin Yuan looked at them earnestly:

"You are worth it."

Lin Ruoxue's eyes turned red instantly.

She knew what this meant.

Lin Yuan truly considered them his own, his closest people!

"Lin Yuan..."

Lin Wanrou was also too moved to speak.

"Don't cry."

Lin Yuan chuckled:

"This is just the beginning."

"When you become stronger, I will open up more resources for you."

"Let's continue training."

...

Half an hour later.

The mother and daughter were covered in sweat, their training suits clinging to their bodies.

It outlined their alluring curves.

Lin Ruoxue's youthful vitality and Lin Wanrou's mature charm—two different kinds of beauty, exceptionally moving under the moonlight.

Lin Yuan watched this scene, his heart rate involuntarily speeding up.

It had to be said, this view...

was quite stimulating.

He called a halt to the training:

"That's it for today."

The mother and daughter collapsed onto the ground, gasping for air.

Although they were exhausted, their eyes were shining with excitement.

They could feel themselves getting stronger.

This feeling was simply wonderful.

Lin Wanrou suddenly spoke up:

"Thank you."

"Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for being willing to accept us."

She looked at Lin Yuan, her eyes full of tenderness:

"I know, at my age..."

"Age is not an issue."

Lin Yuan interrupted her:

"In my eyes, you are very beautiful."

"A mature beauty that those young girls cannot compare to."

Lin Wanrou's face turned bright red instantly.

She hadn't expected Lin Yuan to compliment her so straightforwardly.

"I also think Mom is beautiful!"

Lin Ruoxue chimed in from the side:

"And Mom has an amazing figure!"

"Curvaceous in the right places, fleshy where it should be, and slim where it should be!"

"A perfect S-curve!"

"Ruoxue!"

Lin Wanrou was so embarrassed she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

How could this child say such things!

Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
