Chapter 43 Meeting.

As soon as Grace finished speaking, Lu Xia understood what the man meant.

It’s actually easy to understand, but she just didn’t think about it that way before.

As a 'defective' male, Grace's fate was unchangeable for the Empire, but now he has become a gene fusionist. It can be said that it was an accident, a blessing in disguise, but it will definitely attract attention.

It will attract covetous people who want to study his secrets.

All of these need to be handled by her, the female master.

Even if no one suspects what she did, there will always be someone who disturbs her life.

Grace didn't want to change the information and still bear the reputation of "defective product" to protect her.

After understanding Grace's intentions, Lu Xia couldn't help but laugh. "You don't really need to think so much. You've been able to hold on until today in an environment like the Empire. Even if you're a little selfish, no one will say anything. Besides, given my current status, anyone who wants to touch me or you will need to think twice."

Grace had imagined what Lu Xia would say, but she never thought that she would allow herself to be selfish.

This is not something a noble female should say, but the fact is, Lu Xia said it.

Grace didn't understand why there were such females in the world, but Lu Xia always made her see different existences.

She is different from all the females in the empire. She treats everyone equally. She will not flatter someone too much just because of their noble status, nor will she ridicule someone just because of their humble status.

In her eyes, everyone seems equal.

It also made him feel at peace with her.

His entire gaze softened. Lu Xia had no idea what would happen if a male was allowed to be selfish, but he didn't intend to tell her.

Because he is greedy.

The claws that were originally bared and fierce returned to normal. Grace stretched out her hand in front of Lu Xia: "Can I hug you, Xia Xia?"

However, before Lu Xia could react, she was already hugged.

Lu Xia stood there, held in the man's arms. She looked through his shoulders at the bright sunshine outside the window and blinked. She didn't understand why Grace was so happy.

But it’s always better to be happy than sad.

He raised his hand and patted Grace's shoulder: "Think about what I just said about changing the information. It's best to change it before you return to the military."

This might even give a shock to those guys in the military who look down on Grace.

She believed that the black dragon gene that Grace had fused with would be a powerful weapon once perfectly integrated.

Grace's eyes lit up with a smile, and this time she didn't refuse: "Okay."

Afterwards, Lu Xia retested Grace. Just as she expected, Grace's gene fusion degree had indeed increased from the original 65% to 75%, a full increase of 10 points. She was only 5% away from the so-called person with the highest fusion degree in the empire.

After the results came out, even Grace, who was known for her calm and steady personality, couldn't help but show surprise in her eyes.

Obviously, he did not expect that his gene fusion rate could reach 75%.

Lu Xia was delighted. "After becoming a gene fusionist, do you usually receive any training that allows you to quickly master the power of the beast gene?" Grace nodded. "Yes, it's usually conducted at the Gene Research Institute. Do you think it would be best for me to participate in the training?"

"I do think so. After all, they must have a lot of experience to refer to. Once your information is updated, they should send you an invitation. I hope you can join."

Lu Xia said it very frankly. On the one hand, Grace really needed such training to make him familiar with the use of his abilities. On the other hand, she also wanted to know the situation at the Genetic Research Institute.

"Okay, I'll go."

Seeing him agree so readily, Lu Xia couldn't help but laugh and said, "You should understand that my purpose in asking you to go is to use you. You can refuse because there may be some danger."

Grace liked her honesty: "Didn't you say you would protect me?"

Lu Xia was stunned for a moment, then she understood what Grace meant. She didn't expect that what she had just said would be understood in this way. It was quite embarrassing.

After explaining Grace's situation clearly, Lu Xia began to analyze the gene fusion preparation brought back from the auction venue.

After a busy morning, the progress was not very smooth. After having lunch at the research institute at noon, Lu Xia and Grace left.

However, before going back, the team leader of Group 2 who was responsible for the beauty cream came to her and reported on the progress of the interview.

Hearing this, Lu Xia smiled and encouraged him: "That's good. In the future, opportunities like this will depend on you to perform well."

When I returned home from Courtyard No. 1, the old butler had already returned, and Smellian was with him.

When they met briefly at the black market that day, Lu Xia didn't actually see the other person's appearance clearly. Now that they met, he had white hair and golden eyes, delicate and beautiful facial features, and a thin but upright figure. He had to admit that he did have a good appearance.

Smelian had already stood up when there was movement in the yard. At this moment, his body was stiff, allowing Lu Xia to look him up and down, as if examining him, but there was no disgusting stickiness or greed in his eyes. This made him, who had been mentally prepared to face everything, feel a little relieved, but also puzzled by a contradiction.

Grace stood beside Lu Xia. Although he knew that Smellian would appear here, when he really appeared here, he still overestimated his ability to endure.

"You guys chat, I'll go upstairs to change clothes first." Grace's sudden voice broke the awkwardness of the moment.

Lu Xia came back to his senses: "The room upstairs is ready. You will live here from now on. If you need anything, just tell the old housekeeper. We don't have so many rules here."

After saying that, Lu Xia looked at the old housekeeper again and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Show him around here."

"I know ma'am."

Lu Xia nodded, with no intention of continuing, and followed Grace upstairs.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Lu Xia actually didn't know what to say to the other party, so he walked a little fast. If you think about it carefully, it actually seemed like he was running away.

Smelian watched Lu Xia disappear down the stairwell, but his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

The old butler took in his expression and knew clearly that beneath his calm surface, he was filled with shock.

Thinking back, he had gone through the same thing.

"Well, Madam is different from other female masters. You will understand after you get to know her more in the future."

There were some unsustainable cracks on Smellian's cold face.

He wanted to say that this was completely different from the 'lustful' Duke Lu Xia in the rumors!
