From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 25 They should be sitting at the children's table!! [Please read on! Please vote!]

"How dare you!" Hu Liena frowned and said coquettishly!

Chen Hong may be shameless, but she can't bear the humiliation! She, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, would she take a man as her dog?! It would be utterly disgraceful to her reputation!

To break one's word? Her pride wouldn't allow her to do that!

"Oh, Your Majesty, don't be so angry. I was just joking to lighten the mood."

Chen Hong sighed inwardly. He had completely lost face, but fortunately, the little fox in front of him was not very skilled, so he could still handle it.

They didn't even recognize those people from the Spirit Hall, so even if it was embarrassing, so be it.

Only my father knows too much. I need to find a way to list all the bad things he's done and form a united front with him.

What? You want me to kill Dad?

How could that be! That's my father, whom I consider as close as a brother and as dear as a father!

What? They're father and son?

Do you understand the concept of "double the marriage"?

"Your Holiness, could you please untie me?" Chen Hong shrugged at Hu Liena, whose face was dark, indicating that he was a little uncomfortable being tied up like this.

"Elder," Hu Liena called out with a stern face.

Then Chen Hong saw the strips of cloth on his body loosen, and the caterpillar finally emerged from its cocoon and grew four limbs. Five limbs were not out of the question.

"Respected Holy Maiden, may we not talk about anything else, but only about the matter of soul motivation?"

Actually, Chen Hong also felt very embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do. No matter how difficult life was, he had to face it bravely because his mother was waiting for him to come home for dinner.

(Chen Hong: My mom is calling me home for dinner, doesn't your mom call you?)

(Tang San: You've already found your way to death!!!)

(Chen Hong: Are you sick?!)

Seeing that Chen Hong wasn't courting disaster, Hu Liena's expression softened considerably.

"Call me Hu Liena, without any embellishments!" Hu Liena said coldly. She didn't want to hear any fancy terms like "respected," "elder sister," or "sir." She felt that ever since meeting Chen Hong, the entire conversation had been dictated by him!

Hu Liena knew in her heart that, in terms of intelligence, the boy in front of her, who was able to invent that "ingenious thing" at such a young age, was no worse than herself, and might even be a tiny bit better, just a tiny bit.

In this situation, whenever she heard words like "respect," "sir," or "sister" from the other person, she always felt it was a form of mockery.

"Um, okay, Hu Liena?" Chen Hong, who had no power to bind Kun, was a little uneasy. To be honest, he had always relied on his young age to his advantage and had never met anyone who treated him as an equal.

"Yes, Chen Hong," Hu Liena said calmly. To be honest, this was the first time she had asked someone to treat her as an equal.

It was the first time for both of them. That's true, but something just felt off.

One is being treated as equal for the first time, the other is demanding equality for the first time.

"Speaking of Soul Motion, I should give you a proper introduction. After all, I'm always looked down upon because of my age, and I urgently need an angel investor." Chen Hong sat down cross-legged. Although he didn't activate [Sage Time], his mind was very clear and lucid because he had just 'dissipated' the clutter that had accumulated in his mind a dozen seconds ago.

Angel investor Hu Liena was suddenly stunned upon hearing this. For some reason, a strange sense of absurdity arose within her. If—and I mean if—that angel girl, whose position she could never challenge as long as she didn't leave, were to switch places with her, then was she perhaps destined by fate to be an angel investor?

Although puzzled as to why Hu Liena was spacing out, Chen Hong didn't dare to provoke her. After all, he could only be treated as an equal, not actively demand equality. He was very clear about his position, so he continued, "The matter of the Soul Guidance Mithril Mine shouldn't change much; it's just a matter of the size of the mine."

"With the emergence of soul-guided mithril ore, a trend of searching for various mineral veins may emerge in various places. In the short term, the blacksmith profession will have a promising future. Of course, soul-guided devices may also be able to develop."

Hu Liena, slowly regaining her senses, frowned and asked doubtfully, "It's not like there aren't master craftsmen on the continent. How can you convince others to believe you when you have no experience whatsoever? To believe that your path is definitely correct? That it's the only way?"

Although Hu Liena was serious enough about Chen Hong, this bastard's age was too deceptive!

To everyone's surprise, Chen Hong looked like he'd just been given a lecture at a college graduation defense, his face dark with displeasure. He said, "How can you compare them to me? Think about how many years they've researched soul tools? Almost none! It's all just the simplest materials piled up!"

"But look at me, while those little brats are still peeing and fighting in the Martial Soul Academy. It all seems so filthy. Never mind! Those little brats are still fighting, flirting, vying for attention, sleeping together, charging for love, fighting for supremacy, getting bloodied and battered." Chen Hong's brows furrowed, his voice growing softer. The more he spoke, the more his brows furrowed, because he felt that his seemingly perfectly normal words, when put together, were becoming increasingly absurd.

"And me! I've been studying diligently and making progress every day! I've been painstakingly researching the mysteries of metals, painstakingly studying the logic of soul tools, and exploring the great path of soul tools for at least four or five years! What right do outsiders have to say I lack experience? What ability do they have to talk to me about seniority?!"

"Do those people even know what amorphous metals are?! Do they know that the surface of a metal becomes smoother when it is rapidly cooled?! Even if they know this through experience, do they understand the underlying principles?!"

"They don't know! They don't know!" Why was Chen Hong so certain? Because Chen Lin became the vice president of the Soto City Blacksmiths' Association precisely because of this!

"How can you compare them to me??? While the world's research on soul tools was still in its infancy, or hadn't even begun, I had already been on the right path for five years! In terms of seniority, I am their grandmaster!"

"How can they sit at the same table as me? They should sit at the children's table!" Since Hu Liena wanted equality, then Chen Hong would give her the hell out of equality.

If it's not fast, it's not fast, and you have to criticize it!

Do you really think that just because he's subservient to his mother, he won't dare to fight back outside?

His punch was a deliberate, powerful blow!

"Pfft!"

Chen Hong's comment, "They should be sitting at the children's table!" made the elders of the Spirit Hall and Bishop Soto, who had been silently listening to the opera outside the carriage, burst into laughter. Chen Lin, who had been looking worried behind them, also had a strange expression.

The more you think about it, the more amused you become by saying those words, especially coming from a child.

Except for those who take it personally.

Brothers! Please keep reading! Let's get it onto the new book charts!
