Chapter 55: Fan Yuer’s Talent - Mind Dreams (Blue)
For someone like Zi Liyuan, was a minuscule chance really an issue?
Of course not!
With his relationship with the goddess of luck, wasn’t this as good as a guaranteed Necromancer class-change scroll?
“Help me and my sister escape the fate of a forced family marriage.”
Fan Yuer’s voice was laced with ice, resentment, helplessness, and a hint of despair.
(Ooo)-.
Zi Liyuan was utterly speechless; he knew it was going to be a huge problem.
Anything involving a family alliance through marriage was bound to be complicated and variable.
“I’m sorry, I’m powerless to help.”
Though the Zombie potion might be great, he needed to be alive to use it!
Every family with any power surely had a Fourth Order professional in residence, and Zi Liyuan didn’t believe he could face off against a Fourth Order professional right now.
You can’t expect to get a trump card and, without even testing its strength, eagerly rush off to fight above your rank, right?
Zi Liyuan’s directness broke through the impenetrable aura of Fan Yuer in an instant, almost causing her frosty expression to falter.
“Why did you refuse so directly?”
He hadn’t even asked about her family’s situation, why she wanted to reject the arranged marriage, or any details about the prospective marriage partner before simply refusing; this threw Fan Yuer for a loop.
Big sister, what strength do I have now?”
“You just broke through to Second Order.”
“Well, there you have it, I’m just a small Second Order Necromancer. Am I supposed to risk my life against your family?”
Zi Liyuan spread his hands, showing his genuine helplessness.
“You’re a top student who has just broken through to Second Order strength, and you’ll soon be taking the college entrance examinations. The title of top ’ scholar on the Jiangnan Continent will undoubtedly be yours. You might even become the national top scholar. With the status of a top scholar, it would be easy for you to negotiate with my family and take me and my sister away from the Fan Family.”
The top scholar of the state, or even the nation, would at the very least become a Lord of the Sea of Realms in the future.
The Fan Family in White Crane City is just a medium-sized family, neither at the top nor at the bottom, and not once has someone from the Sea of Realms become a Lord.
If they could build a connection with either a state top scholar or a national top scholar, the family would definitely fawn over and lick their boots, not to mention offering several concubines; they would even dare to offer the legitimate daughters in bundles!
“Aren’t the women raised in families like yours brainwashed from a young age to be loyal to the family? Why do you want to break away from your family, and take your sister with you?”
Since ancient times, women from families or clans have often unwillingly become the objects of arranged marriages, but they were raised by their families from a young age, brainwashed with the subconscious notion of loyalty to their family’s interests.
Of course, there are always those who resist their fate, but they rarely end up with a good outcome. After all, this is a world of supernatural powers.
Fan Yuer did not want to become a tool in her family’s marriage arrangements and didn’t dare to offend them, so she looked for a prodigious talent in the class-change hall who could help her and her sister escape the control of their family.
Clearly, Fan Yuer saw potential in Zi Liyuan, whose success in two silver-hero class-change missions and evolution from nothing to Second Order in seven days signaled limitless potential.
If she could become affiliated with such a rising star, the family would definitely come crawling to curry favor, allowing her and her sister to escape the arranged marriages planned by their family.
“Because the family has recently found a fire Mage with an exceptional talent, they plan to use all their resources on him, making us concubines pawns to gather those resources.”
If it were a normal marriage alliance, with a family of equal social status, Fan Yuer might have complied.
But this time was different. The family was after the suitor’s resources, so where would they find a match of equal social standing?
The one they had arranged for her was an elderly clan elder of a time-honored family who could have been her grandfather and was a famous pervert widely known for tormenting to death many women who married him as concubines.
Moreover, upon hearing about her and her sister’s special talents, he was willing to exchange four silver hero equipments usable at LV20 for the sisters.
The price was extremely high, and naturally, the family members were tempted, which was why Fan Yuer had no choice but to hasten her actions, otherwise, it would be too late for regrets!
“Selling for a good price to generate benefits for the family is indeed something those familial powers would do.”
Even those great families would do the same; in their eyes, only family interests mattered, with daughters being nothing more than pawns for strengthening the family.
Even legitimate sons and daughters, though granted more privileges, would not hesitate to sacrifice for the family when required.
Zi Liyuan had not thought about establishing a family on Blue Star yet, but after entering the Sea of Realms, he would inevitably have a wife and family. If he had children then, they would have to be sent back to Blue Star to be raised, and surely, a Li Yuan family would be established at that time.
“As for why I need to bring my sister, it’s because our awakened talents are quite special.”
Fan Yuer directly shared her talent information with Zi Liyuan.
Mind Dreamscape (Blue): A dreamscape space constructed out of Spirit power that purifies the mind and enhances comprehension, allowing minds to connect with each other.
“Enhancing comprehension, a very nice blue talent, so, you’re twins who can communicate telepathically with each other?”
Having noticed Fan Yuer’s childlike face, white hair, and voluptuous figure, Zi Liyuan suddenly realized they were twins, and that would definitely fetch a’ good price.
A pair of top-notch beauties who can communicate telepathically is more than just double the pleasure!
“You could say that. As long as you agree to help me, the previous terms stand. My sister and I can also work for you; we are both Second Order Pharmacists.” Thanks to their telepathic connection, not only was their comprehension great, but their understanding of pharmacology could also be shared, which was why ’ they were able to become Second Order Pharmacists so quickly.
If it hadn’t been for the recent emergence of a talent execelling legitimate son, Fan Yuer and her sister would definitely not have been used for a marriage alliance to exchange for resources!
“That Zombie potion, did you concoct it?”
“My sister concocted it.”
“Have you also created other Undead-related potions?”
Such infection-type potions were not available on the market, and it was clear they were under control, as these types of potions could easily give rise to an undead scourge.
My sister also concocted a Ghoul Potion of the First Order, which also infects corpses to create ghouls, in addition to some other First Order potions related to curses.”
Fan Yuer did not hide anything, as telling him these things would only increase her chances of getting his help.
Zi Liyuan looked at Fan Yuer with a strange expression. Thinking of a beautiful woman studying corpses and making potions related to the Undead gave him an inexplicably chilly feeling on his back.
Could this be some weird hobby? Otherwise, why would she specialize in these bizarre things?
And with Fan Yuer able to communicate telepathically with her sister it wouldn’t be surprising if she also frequently dissected corpses for research right?
“What’s the power of your family like?”
To be honest, the Ghoul Potion and Zombie Potion were quite attractive to him, and along with a Secret Realm instance related to the Undead, Zi Liyuan was somewhat tempted and willing to delve deeper into it.
