My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

"How old are you this year?"

"Thirty-three."

Upon hearing this answer, Lin Xue's lips twitched. "So, you've been practicing martial arts for twenty years, right?"

"Correct!"

Lin Geng nodded.

Lin Xue asked again, "Then do you know how long I've been practicing martial arts?"

Lin Geng shook his head, "I really don't know about this. When I joined the Lin family, the Second Miss was already a Level 1 Martial Artist."

He officially joined the Lin family when he was eighteen years old.

At that time, Lin Xue had already been adopted by the Lin family for several years, so he really didn't know how long Lin Xue had been practicing martial arts.

Lin Xue's gaze was deep and thoughtful. "Just like you, it's been twenty years."

Lin Geng was taken aback. "What a coincidence!"

Lin Xue kicked Lin Geng in annoyance, "We've both spent twenty years, but you're an eighth-level martial artist while I'm only at the peak of a second-level martial artist. You've wasted your time training like a pig, which means I'm not even as good as a pig?"

"cough--"

Lin Geng was completely taken aback and hurriedly apologized: "Second Miss, that's not what I meant. For you, the greater significance of practicing martial arts is to improve your health. You usually focus your energy on studying and working, and you have very little time to practice martial arts."

“But I’m different. Apart from eating, sleeping and playing games, I spend all my time practicing martial arts. If you, Miss, practiced martial arts in the same way as me, your strength would definitely be far superior to mine.”

Lin Xue didn't react to such flattery, but raised an eyebrow with interest, "Eating, sleeping, and playing games?"

As she spoke, she stepped forward, less than half a foot away from Lin Geng, and asked, "Excuse me, what is 'playing with beans'?"

The two faced each other, and the height difference meant that Lin Xue could only look up.

From Lin Geng's perspective, the early morning sunlight shone on Lin Xue's delicate face, and the faint scent of perfume in the air made him so nervous that he couldn't speak.

Noticing the strange look in Lin Geng's eyes, Lin Xue realized something as well. A subtle blush flashed across her face, and she took a step back without making a sound. "I'm asking you a question. What are you staring at me for? Am I that good-looking?"

"nice……"

"..."

This answer was unexpected by Lin Xue.

She was stunned for a moment, and a strange emotion she had never felt before welled up in her heart. The way she looked at Lin Geng also changed subtly.

After regaining his senses, Lin Geng wanted nothing more than to slap himself.

What are you doing!

Does he think he's lived too long?

The girl standing in front of him was no ordinary girl, but the second young lady of the Lin family, who was known as a troublemaker. How dare he say such things? He was doomed.

"Second Miss, please don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant, I meant..."

"That's not what I meant?"

Lin Xue's face was stern, her eyes extremely unfriendly. "What, are you trying to say I'm not pretty?"

"No! Absolutely not..."

Lin Geng was on the verge of tears, unsure how to explain. He opened and closed his mouth, but no sound came out.

Sensing Lin Geng's embarrassment, Lin Xue chuckled, "Am I that scary? Just say what you think."

That smile made Lin Geng stare wide-eyed again, and he couldn't help but swallow hard. He blurted out, almost as if possessed, "Second Miss is indeed very beautiful..."

Chapter 771 Though I'm not old, I don't speak much truth.

Hearing the word "good-looking" from Lin Geng again, Lin Xue smiled meaningfully, "Explain yourself, just how good-looking are you?"

Lin Geng clicked his tongue. Seeing the Second Miss's attitude, he knew that if he didn't give a specific description today, his monthly salary would definitely be deducted. So he simply closed his eyes and spoke his mind.

"The second young lady is very beautiful and has a great temperament, almost like a fairy."

Upon hearing the adjective 'fairy,' Lin Xue's face lit up like a blooming flower in spring. She tossed her hair and asked, "Is she really that beautiful?"

"It really is, even more real than a needle!"

Lin Geng nodded repeatedly, his embarrassment growing stronger.

Actually, he was feeling quite uneasy at that moment.

Who is Lin Xue?

The second young lady of the Lin family is feared by all the martial artists in the Lin family, regardless of age. Especially after she took over the job of distributing the monthly salaries of the martial artists, she was regarded as a monstrous threat by all the martial artists in the Lin family.

One wrong move and your monthly salary will be docked!

Some martial artists, dissatisfied with Lin Xue's management, even publicly challenged her.

As a result, this martial artist didn't receive his monthly salary for three consecutive months, and was kicked out of the Lin family in the fourth month.

It should be noted that this martial artist's strength is at the peak of level nine, making him virtually invincible below level ten.

But in Lin Xue's eyes, she didn't take a level nine peak martial artist seriously at all, and would open fire without hesitation or showing any mercy.

For this reason, the Lin family's martial artists usually avoid contact with Lin Xue. Even when they do meet, they only exchange polite greetings and then remain silent.

The more you say, the more mistakes you make.

If you say the wrong thing, Lin Xue could deduct your monthly salary.

The monthly stipend isn't money, but rather some low-level spiritual items or rare medicinal herbs, which greatly help improve one's strength.

For martial artists, nothing is more important than strength.

Under Lin Xue's gaze, Lin Geng took a deep breath. Although it was winter, several large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He swore that in his thirty-plus years of life, this was the first time he had ever been so nervous.

Even when he broke through the eighth level of shackles a few years ago, he wasn't as nervous as he is now.

Lin Xue stared at Lin Geng for a while, then suddenly said, "Alright, you did very well today. This month's salary will be increased by one Blood Gathering Pill."

Lin Geng was shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Did they not deduct my monthly salary?

Not only did they not deduct his monthly salary, they even gave him an extra blood-gathering pill?

As the name suggests, the Blood Gathering Pill is made by increasing the blood and qi of martial artists, using dozens of precious medicinal herbs in a certain proportion.

For martial artists who follow the path of body cultivation, the Blood Gathering Pill is second only to the Body Shaping Cream in effectiveness.

What kind of look is that?

Lin Xue smiled and said, "You don't want it? Then pretend I didn't say anything."

“Don’t, don’t!”

Lin Geng hurriedly clasped his hands in thanks, "Thank you very much, Second Miss."

Lin Xue chuckled inwardly at his honest appearance. She patted Lin Geng on the shoulder and said, "Say more nice things in the future, I love to hear them."

After saying that, she skipped away like a little girl.

Lin Geng stood there blankly, staring at the departing figure of the second young lady, lost in thought.

Say some nice things?

What are pleasant words?

As the question arose in his mind, he quickly came to a conclusion.

Lin Geng's eyes widened instantly.

Could it be because I just complimented the second young lady on her looks?

This……

A little after nine in the morning, the whole family, except for Lin Yi, gathered in the living room on the first floor.

Holding her phone, Lin Xue slapped her thigh hard when she saw that An Youyu's social media account had surpassed 140 million followers. "Awesome!"

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but look at Lin Xue.

Xu Yanshu warned with a black line on her face, "Xiaoxue, you're not a child anymore, why are you still so easily startled? Also, if you dare to swear again, I'll cancel all your jobs and make you a gardener in my garden for a year."

Lin Xue shrank back, a sheepish smile on her face. "Mom, I didn't mean to. I'll definitely be more careful next time."

As she spoke, she waved her phone in front of her mother, "Look, Yu'er's social media followers have exceeded 140 million. It's no exaggeration to say that Yu'er is now the absolute top influencer in Xia Country, without a doubt."

"One hundred and forty million?"

Xu Yanshu's face showed a hint of surprise. "Xiaoxue, if I remember correctly, Yu'er's social circle only had 130 million followers last night. It's only been one night, and it's already gained 10 million followers?"

"Yes."

Lin Xue smiled smugly, "The trend of academic elites on social networking platforms has come at just the right time. This operation has been incredibly profitable!"

Listening to their conversation, Lin Mo took out his phone and opened the chat app. He quickly sighed helplessly, "Why aren't my followers increasing?"

Actually, it's not that his follower count hasn't increased. Last night, his social media account had 66 million followers, and now it's 67 million.

Gaining a million followers overnight is an astonishing rate of growth, but it also depends on who you compare it to.

If the comparison is with juvenile anchovies, the difference is a full tenfold.

Lin Mo was clearly the main character in this operation, and he was the one who got criticized. Logically, she should have gained the most followers.

But now...

However, this was not the case.

All in all, Lin Mo gained 45 million followers after this operation.

On the other hand, An Youyu gained a staggering 70 million followers, doubling her follower count to a terrifying 140 million.

exaggerate!

too exaggerated!

Xu Yanshu glared at her grandson with displeasure, "Xiao Mo, why do you always swear?"
