Chapter 4172 - 4191: Standards for Choosing a Man

The journey from Emperor Star to Planet No. 7 is not a short one.

Everyone is living under the same roof, and the bedroom on the flying ship is not suitable for cultivation, so naturally one can find things to pass the time just like ordinary people traveling.

Lin Chen is lying on the bed, hands behind his head, watching the big screen in front of him, which is playing a science fiction movie.

Qiu Chan sits cross-legged on the small beds, looking at Lin Chen with a leisurely face.

"Do you guys usually spend your time like this? Even though you’re so strong, you’re still willing to watch these films?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "What I’m watching is the story, passing the time. Isn’t this much better than cultivation, meditation, and Closed Door Cultivation, plus there are all sorts of delicious foods you wouldn’t want to give up."

Qiu Chan couldn’t help but ask curiously, "You’re around five hundred years old, right? And your wife is more than ten thousand years old. In such long years, can you still maintain your curiosity and love for the world?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Cultivators all have their own Dao. The key is how you see yourself. If because of strong strength, you transcend into the Immortal Queen and view ordinary people as ants, seeing yourself as superior, over time, you naturally detach from the world."

"But if you see yourself as human from beginning to end, then the things and people in this world naturally won’t make you detach from it..."

"Just because the cultivation allows us to live without eating doesn’t mean we stop eating altogether, and just because we can meditate doesn’t mean we stop sleeping."

"Look at those in my family, they are obsessed with binge-watching shows, playing games, shopping, and gourmet food, all with lots of enthusiasm..."

Pausing for a moment, Lin Chen mused, "With the technology of the Federation, there are endless ways of mental entertainment, even if you play for a thousand years, it probably won’t repeat, so how could one ever get bored."

"Team leader, you aren’t cultivating or meditating, what’s the point? Why not join me in watching the movie?"

Qiu Chan pursed her lips, nodded, and said, "Sure."

Qiu Chan cheerfully got up, sat at the head of the big bed, and mimicked Lin Chen’s style by placing a pillow behind her back, comfortably leaning against it.

Lin Chen glanced sideways, smiled, and said, "I’ve learned about your past. You’ve been practicing martial arts since childhood, then joined the army, and later joined the Security Bureau. You could say you’ve been sprinting on the path of cultivation all along..."

Qiu Chan turned her head to ask, "Is there a problem with that?"

Lin Chen chuckled, "No problem at all, I just wanted to ask, aren’t you interested in anything else, like, falling in love or something?"

Qiu Chan raised her eyebrows and giggled, "You’re actually interested in my love life, are you that gossipy too?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Don’t forget, the first time we met was because of that kid from the Wei Family, he was your suitor after all..."

Qiu Chan snorted coldly, "He’s like a lopsided barber, do you think with my character, I would choose someone like him as a husband?"

Lin Chen shrugged, "Family alliances, how many people are truly satisfied with them?"

Qiu Chan slightly lifted her charming chin, "Do you know why I work so hard?"

Lin Chen curiously asked, "For the Federation?"

Qiu Chan’s eyes turned cold, "Women from wealthy families generally have no freedom and have to accept the family arrangements, and marriage alliances are the ultimate destination."

"I’m working hard, doing all this to escape such a fate and to have my own voice."

"Once I became a Level 9 Martial Artist, no one could dictate to me. That the Wei Family wants to marry the Qi Family and have their foolish son marry me is nothing but Wei Bo Fei’s wishful thinking."

"I ignore Wei Xiaofeng, because we are both from Emperor Star’s wealthy families, it’s easier to look the other way than to tear apart the facade."

"Do you really think I would fall for someone as worthless as Wei Xiaofeng?"

Lin Chen suddenly realized but couldn’t help his curiosity, "Since you’re working so hard to avoid being married off by your family, it means you still have your own standards for marriage. Can you tell me, what kind of partner are you looking for?"

Qiu Chan pursed her lips, her face showing a slightly unusual expression, as if she was shy, yet awkward.

Lin Chen noticed the expression on Qiu Chan’s face and couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.

The Iron Blood Rose may be a Level 9 Strong Person, but after all, she is a young woman. When it comes to marriage and choosing a partner, she surprisingly has the demeanor of an ordinary young woman.

Qiu Chan also naturally noticed the curve at the corner of Lin Chen’s mouth and tightened her face, snorting coldly, "If someone wants to be my man, they certainly can’t be weaker than me..."

Qiu Chan’s voice paused, eyes fixed on Lin Chen, her gaze slightly nuanced and strange.

"Even if he’s weaker than me, he can’t be too weak, because someone like me not only faces all kinds of danger but those around me also face various dangers."

"If I were to find an ordinary person, it might not be a good thing for him, it could even be a disaster..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "You say your piece, but why are you staring at me? Are you taking me as a reference standard?"
