Chapter 52 - Body mutation

"What are you all staring at me for?" Huang Ye asked in confusion.

"Boss, there's something I don't know if I should say," Feng Yun said hesitantly.

"Speak!"

"Boss, are you really human?"

"Of course, if I'm not human, what else could I be?"

"Boss, to be honest, humans aren't usually like you."

"Oh, how am I different?"

"Your memory is miraculous, but your body is also extraordinary."

"Oh! I feel perfectly normal."

Although he said this, he was suspicious inside. How did they know his eyes were special?

Could it be that when I sleep, a circle of eyes appears around my head?

"Class monitor, just look at yourself."

Huang Ye quickly touched his head but didn't find any eyeballs.

"Class monitor, it's not your forehead or the back of your head, it's your body."

"You came back last night covered in bruises and wounds, with two big lumps on your head."

"But after just one night, your body is back to normal. If I had bruises, it would take at least seven or eight days to heal."

"Oh!" Huang Ye touched the top of his head. Indeed, the lumps from yesterday were gone, and they didn't hurt anymore.

He rolled up his sleeves, and his skin was smooth as ever.

He looked down at his chest and saw no trace of bruises. The cuts from yesterday had scabbed over.

He picked at a scab with his hand, and it fell off, revealing skin that was only slightly paler underneath.

Damn, what's going on? Is it because of that technique, or is it some transformation after crossing over?

It's hard to verify for now. I'll have to see if the two girls are the same to be sure.

No rush, this anomaly in my body is a good thing, bringing obvious benefits.

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

The most direct benefit is not needing medicine to recover when training the body. This is like a cheat code.

Though it's not like having infinite lives in a game, this rapid recovery ability is still a golden finger.

This is a real windfall, Huang Ye thought happily.

But why did I fall into a deep sleep again last night? That's not a good thing.

Previously, this only happened the first time I dual cultivated with the two girls.

Could it be that I was too injured yesterday, and my body entered an automatic repair phase?

"System, did you notice my anomaly?"

[It's truly unbelievable. This defies the science of life. If you returned to your original world, you'd definitely be a lab rat.]

"Uh, then I better not go back. No matter how strong my recovery ability is, I can't withstand a barrage from an AK47."

[It's a pity I don't have instruments. Otherwise, I could analyze your cell composition.]

"Analyze what? Even if you figure it out, can you replicate it?"

[Hard to say. Although Dolly the sheep died, human cloning hasn't been tried.]

"That's against ethics, it's a crime."

[No worries, no one cares here.]

Huang Ye was speechless. From the system's tone, it definitely had cloning technology.

If it cloned a dozen of me, what would I be? What about Qing'er and Yue'er, and Honey Teacher?

His traditional belief in monogamy made him conservative.

"System, let me be clear. You can clone others all you want, but I must be the only one. Even if I die, no cloning."

[No rush, although I have the technology, I still need to find a test tube to succeed.]

"Get lost, you're still not giving up."

The system didn't respond, as it went to study whether cloning could succeed in this environment.

Huang Ye couldn't guess what this AI was thinking. There was no restraining relationship between them.

Just like that, Huang Ye attended classes during the day and trained in the woods at night for five days.

During this time, because he had no money for classes, he borrowed a hundred taels of silver from Feng Yun.

On the sixth day, just after class, Huang Ye was called to the back hall by Tang Xin.

"Do you know why I called you here?"

"I know, to make money, right?"

"Alright, take off your clothes!"

"What! Sister, I sell my skills, not my body."

"Nonsense, who wants your body? I'm asking you to change your outfit. Yours is too shabby."

"I think it's fine, very sturdy."

"Fine? My father is a snob. You won't even get past the door in those clothes."

"Alright." Huang Ye obediently changed into the clothes Tang Xin prepared.

After changing, Tang Xin's eyes lit up. Truly, clothes make the man.

Huang Ye in a white robe looked like a suave young master.

Huang Ye looked at himself in the bronze mirror. This girl's taste was really good; the clothes fit perfectly.

"Alright, let's go out the back door."

Huang Ye's face didn't look good. He wanted to show off in the lecture hall, to show he was also a refined gentleman. But going out the back door, there was no audience.

All the way, Huang Ye just followed behind Tang Xin, witnessing her powerful aura. Damn, it was strong.

Such a beautiful woman, all the men avoided her as if Tang Xin were a venomous beast.

After leaving the academy gates, Tang Xin relaxed and waited for Huang Ye to catch up.

Not only did they walk side by side, but she also linked her arm with his.

Huang Ye tried to pull his arm away, but Tang Xin stubbornly held on tight.

He could clearly feel the soft pressure on his upper arm. This girl was quite well-endowed.

"Honey Teacher, isn't this inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate? Soon you'll be my husband; we need to act the part."

Huang Ye was speechless. How did he become her husband?

Wasn't it agreed that this was purely a financial transaction? Once the job was done, I'd take the money and leave.

"Honey Teacher, what should I say when we get there?"

"Just speak honestly."

"Isn't that bad? If your father asks my age and I say 17, won't he be shocked?"

"Shocked about what?"

"An old cow eating young grass."

Huang Ye felt a sharp pain as his arm muscles were twisted.

"Teacher, what are you doing? Why are you getting physical?"

"Who told you to say I'm an old cow? Am I old?"

"Uh! You're not old."

"If he asks which family I'm from, should I tell the truth?"

"Absolutely, you're the Third Young Master of the City Lord's mansion, a very prestigious identity."

"Alright, I'll improvise. But we agreed, whether this works out or not, you have to pay me."

"I'm still a hundred taels in debt."

"Look at you, the Third Young Master of the City Lord's mansion, borrowing money from others."

"Don't worry, you'll get the money. A teacher keeps her word."

As they chatted while walking, they finally reached a grand entrance.

The two guards at the gate, seeing their young lady holding the arm of a young man, couldn't help but show envy.

"Miss is back. Should we inform the master?"

"No need, the old man has a keen nose."

Huang Ye looked at Tang Xin in surprise. These two must have a love-hate relationship.

Inside the gates, the courtyard wasn't as luxurious as the entrance. The front yard was orderly and simple.

This father-in-law didn't seem ostentatious. Tang Xin felt he was just eager to marry off his daughter.

This old man with depth wouldn't be easy to deal with. It seemed winning over this girl would be quite challenging.
