Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss

He stared at that spot, his Adam's apple bobbing.

"This material is indeed very malleable," Lin Bai muttered to himself. "Since it can be shaped at will, then regarding the size..."

After all, he himself will benefit from this in the future...

The soul within my mind vibrated violently.

"Lin Bai! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!" Su Wan's coquettish scolding came straight to her head.

"Keep it exactly as it is! Add even a tiny bit more, and you'll see what I do to you when we get out of here!"

Lin Bai coughed twice and rubbed his nose.

"Really not going to add anything? This is a rare opportunity."

"Are you disgusted by my past self?"

"No, absolutely not." Lin Bai quickly composed himself and diligently replicated the mental energy threads according to the proportions.

Shaping continues.

The waistline is cinched, and the legs are long and straight.

When the last thread of spiritual energy was withdrawn, the embryo in front of me had transformed into a stunningly beautiful girl with her eyes closed.

Her eyebrows and eyes were expressive, and her skin was as white as snow.

"Come out."

From the depths of Lin Bai's consciousness, a solid, illusory soul floated out and entered the girl's body.

......

An hour passed.

Gusta squatted in the passageway outside the door, holding an energy core in his hand and rubbing it back and forth.

The alloy door lock rotates.

Gustav stood up.

Lin Bai stepped out first, making half a step to the side.

A slender figure stepped out from inside the door.

Even though Gustave had spent most of his life studying alchemy and had long lost interest in matters of love, he couldn't help but take a second look when his gaze swept over the scene.

She was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, wearing a loose white student robe with the cuffs rolled up, revealing a section of her fair wrist.

"Thanks, old man." Su Wan smiled at Gustav with her hands behind her back.

Gustav's face was filled with fervor:

"No need to thank me, we just got what we needed."

"Um..." he rubbed his hands together, "Could I have some blood drawn for research?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, whose smile had turned into an icy expression, Gustav shuddered.

"Fine, if you won't give it to me, then don't..."

At this point, Gustav's expression turned serious.

"I forgot to tell you."

"During my research, Ah Xian, this life-altering technique... has drawbacks."

Lin Bai's eyelids twitched, and he abruptly turned his head to look at Gustav.

"Drawbacks?"

This concerns Su Wan, and he cannot tolerate the slightest mistake.

Seeing Lin Bai's tense expression, Gustav immediately smiled.

He waved his hand, "Don't worry, it's not related to safety."

"But... it's the inherent flaw in this life-transformation technique itself!"

"What?" Lin Bai pressed.

"The life forms created by this technique are not life in essence."

"On the surface, there is no difference. The life cycle and organ function are exactly the same as those of humans."

"But... it lacks a capability that all humans possess."

"evolution!"

Lin Bai frowned but didn't reply.

Gustave continued speaking to himself:

"No matter what method is used, the life forms created through refinement cannot become stronger."

"Their strength was determined the moment the shaping was completed."

Lin Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing these words.

He turned his head and glanced at Su Wan.

Su Wan looked down at her hands and tried to clench her fists. The air was compressed by the strong force of her fingers, producing a muffled sound.

She lifted her face, and the corners of her mouth turned up:

"I thought it was something serious. So what if I can't become stronger? Anyway, you're here to protect me."

Lin Bai laughed, "You're quite open-minded!"

......

In front of the gates of the Alchemist Tower of Gustav.

Lin Bai and Su Wan walked out hand in hand, beaming with joy.

The light overhead suddenly dimmed.

The surrounding noise of the wind and the distant roar of the alchemy workshop were forcibly erased at this moment.

Lin Bai's throat tightened, as if two iron mountains had crashed down on his shoulders.

The bluestone slabs underfoot crumbled in pieces, and spiderweb-like cracks spread outward for more than ten meters.

There was no wind, no energy fluctuations, only an extreme and utter pressure of rank.

Lin Bai bit his lip until it bled, the taste of blood spreading along the tip of his tongue.

He made no unnecessary movements, his mind racing.

A surge of spiritual energy coursed through my body.

Dark golden flames appeared before him, and his hundred-meter-tall power body had just taken shape when the lava patterns on his chest were extinguished in large sections under the immense pressure.

His tall body was so heavy that he couldn't straighten up, and he knelt heavily on one knee, creating a deep crater in the ground.

The shadow beneath their feet was boiling.

The dark figure had barely peeked out halfway when it was forcibly pushed back to its original position, unable to move an inch.

As for the elemental secret body composed of pure elements, it cannot even take shape. The moment the gathered energy appears, it is crushed by the omnipresent pressure.

So powerful... This power is incredible!

So far, the strongest enemy he has ever encountered was the Taoist in green robes he met in the Crimson Land.

But even the power of the green-robed Taoist seemed far too weak in the face of the force above them.

This was a force far beyond his current understanding, and even the thought of resistance was hindered by this pressure.

"Fifth tier... good progress."

A casual voice rang out from ahead.

As the sound faded, the frozen air around them began to flow again.

The immense pressure on my shoulders vanished, and the sunlight shone down once more.

Lin Bai also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the sound.

I looked up.

Ten steps away, there were two people standing.

The person on the left is wearing a long robe, has a slender figure, and has long hair casually tied behind his head.

It was his cheap master, Lu Changyuan.

The person on the right is wearing a pure white robe with gold trim, the highest standard of the Pioneers Academy, with the scales emblem symbolizing truth embroidered on his chest.

The old man had a gaunt face, his full head of silver hair was neatly combed, and his hands were behind his back.

Lin Bai had seen this old man once before, but it wasn't the real person; it was just a phantom.

Gu Hui, Dean of the Pioneers Academy.

Lin Bai straightened up, gathered his thoughts, and the three secret bodies that had scattered around him turned into particles of light and returned to his body.

Step forward.

He first bowed slightly to Gu Hui.

"Thank you for your help, Dean."

Regardless of the reason, the fact that someone personally spoke up to protect me is a genuine favor.

Without the academy's protection, the Netherworld Sect would have been wiped clean and sent to the Netherworld Realm long ago, given the huge commotion they caused.

Gu Hui looked at Lin Bai, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"No need to thank me. If it weren't for your master's sake, I really wouldn't have helped you with this."

His tone was frank and natural, without any affectation.

Her gaze passed over Lin Bai and landed on Su Wan behind him, lingering for a couple more seconds.

"That old madman Gustavo has produced a remarkable work."

Lin Bai was unwilling to discuss Su Wan as if she were an object.

He turned his gaze to Lu Changyuan.

After a slight hesitation, he called out, "Master, what brings you here?"

......
