Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

"Master You said there was an interesting person in Snow Valley, but why haven't I seen a soul?" Chi Tianai wondered with doubt in her heart. She had been in Snow Valley for several days, but had not seen a single person.

Master You wouldn't deceive her, yet within Snow Valley, although there were many interesting things, the interesting person that Tian Jiuyou mentioned was nowhere to be found.

Chi Tianai found the Ice Lotus and the artifacts within Dark Bird Temple intriguing, yet none of these were enough to capture her full attention.

Chi Tianai knew the Ice Lotus was powerful, but her heritage had already determined that she could easily ascend to Immortal status. Even the acquisition of Immortal Laws at the Immortal Level had already been designed by professionals, so she didn't need the Ice Lotus to become Immortal. Hence, her interest in the Ice Lotus was not that great.

Although Dark Bird Temple and Commerce Star were also interesting, any item on her person could be valued at eighteen or nineteen pieces, and though these values did not surpass that of the Asura Ghost, they had made Chi Tianai feel quite uninterested.

After browsing through the books on the shelves, Chi Tianai decided it was time to leave Snow Valley.

Just as she was about to contact Tian Jiuyou, she suddenly saw a person emerge from the Dark Bird Temple.

"Is this the interesting person Master You spoke of?" Chi Tianai eyed the figure coming out of the Dark Bird Temple, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Initially, she had thought the interesting person Tian Jiuyou spoke of would surely be a cosmic marvel or a grandmaster in some aspect.

However, the person emerging from the Dark Bird Temple was clad in a tattered battle suit, akin to rags, and the helmet on his face was equally worn, covering only half his face.

"How come this person looks... like a beggar..." Chi Tianai didn't want to judge by appearances, but the person before her didn't seem like the interesting person described by Tian Jiuyou.

The beggarly figure Chi Tianai saw could only be none other than Lin Shen.

Lin Shen had been searching for other Dark Bird Temples on Commerce Star, but instead of finding them, he was targeted by an Immortal Creature that gave him no quarter, with no escape to heaven nor entrance to earth.

Fortunately, his body was robust enough, or he might not have been able to make it back alive.

Lin Shen, seeing a Celestial Race girl appear in Snow Valley, also widened his eyes in astonishment.

He, too, had not anticipated encountering a member of the Cosmic Human Race in Snow Valley, let alone a Celestial Race girl.

"What relationship does this girl have with Tian Jiuyou? How did she come to Snow Valley?" Lin Shen noted the Celestial girl's rosy lips and white teeth. Although she was not as tall and beautiful as Tian Xun, nor as charming as Catherine, she possessed a rare gentle beauty, as if she would never argue with you but simply agree with your viewpoint.

"Who are you?" Lin Shen asked Chi Tianai directly.

"My name is Ai, who are you?" Chi Tianai countered.

"Ai? What's your relation to Tian Jiuyou?" Lin Shen continued to question her, not answering her query.

Chi Tianai exuded such gentleness that she seemed very easy to bully. Even when Lin Shen spoke to her, he couldn't help but become somewhat more domineering.

"I don't know who you're talking about. Someone said there were many interesting things in this Snow Valley, which is why I came here," Chi Tianai said, looking innocent.

Had anyone else said this, Lin Shen would not have believed it for a second.

Yet, there seemed to be some magic about Chi Tianai that made one involuntarily want to believe her.

"You've been tricked, it's easy to come here, but leaving is not going to be so simple," Lin Shen sighed.

"Is it really that dangerous here?" Chi Tianai asked with widened eyes, though she hadn't felt any danger in the Snow Valley.

"Have you ever left the Snow Valley after you entered?" Lin Shen asked.

"No," Chi Tianai shook her head.

"Then you mustn't think about leaving, nor should you walk out of the valley," Lin Shen pointed at the Ice Lotus inside the valley and said, "Do you see that Ice Lotus? If you leave the valley at random, it will freeze you with its icy light. If you're lucky, you might survive, but if you're not, you might be frozen to death directly."

"It looks quite beautiful, not like something so vicious," Chi Tianai said hesitantly.

"That's because you haven't left the valley and haven't seen what it's capable of. But I wouldn't suggest you try it. It's better to stay safely inside the Snow Valley and suffer less," Lin Shen observed Chi Tianai and said, "You were brought here by Tian Jiuyou, weren't you?"

"Who is Tian Jiuyou?" Chi Tianai asked, blinking her eyes.

"That's a lecherous old man from the Celestial Race with grey wings and hair. Weren't you captured by him?" Lin Shen felt that Chi Tianai, being such a kind and adorable girl from the Celestial Race, must have been brought here by Tian Jiuyou.

The deep hatred between Tian Jiuyou and the Celestial Race meant that capturing some girls from the Celestial Race to bring back was a perfectly normal occurrence.

"Yes, it was an old man from the Celestial Race who brought me here," Chi Tianai responded with a chuckle in her heart.

It was the first time she heard someone describe Tian Jiuyou as a lecherous old man from the Celestial Race.

"This person must be the interesting one Master You mentioned, right?" Chi Tianai had already guessed that the interesting person Tian Jiuyou had referred to must be him.

"Then it's definitely him, that lecherous old man from the Celestial Race is Tian Jiuyou," Lin Shen said, sizing up Chi Tianai, "It's tragic, how can he lay hands on such a young cute girl?"

"Is he… very bad?" Chi Tianai looked at Lin Shen curiously and asked.

"More than just bad, he's utterly shameless," Lin Shen felt indignant since Tian Jiuyou, after clearly losing, still didn't let him go, which was disgraceful to the extreme.

"Why did he capture you and bring you here?" Lin Shen's tone shifted as he looked at Chi Tianai and asked.

He too found this Celestial Race girl a bit peculiar, wondering why Tian Jiuyou would bring such a girl here.

In his heart, he had a nagging suspicion that perhaps since Tian Jiuyou saw he was unmoved and not seduced by the Ice Lotus, that's why he brought such a beautiful girl from the Celestial Race here.

If bribery wouldn't work, then it would come down to seduction.

"Tian Jiuyou, oh Tian Jiuyou, you underestimate me, Lin Shen. After all, haven't I seen a fair number of beauties? Do you really think a pretty and cute Celestial Race girl will make me submit?" Lin Shen mused quietly to himself.

"He said there was an interesting person here," Chi Tianai spoke honestly.

But Lin Shen became even more convinced of his thoughts upon hearing this—the Celestial Race girl must have been tricked by Tian Jiuyou to seduce him.

Tian Jiuyou knew his determination was as impenetrable as steel, unshakable, and ordinary seduction wouldn't work, which was why he had deceived a pure and adorable Celestial Race girl to come here, evoking the feeling of a first love.

Even when one knows it's a trap, an ordinary person would still unknowingly drown in it.

This was the true essence of a beauty trap. The essence of the beauty trap is not in the beauty, but in the sentiment.
