The busy day of the Daoist ended with delivering food to Lingtong and Ms. Wan.

It is now seven thirty in the evening;

The third level of the fortress is brightly lit, the research institute and military factories are working overtime, and the military hospital has quieted down.

Lingtong is mostly fine now;

Wang Jixuan chatted with her for a while, but his eyes unconsciously drifted to her gentle lips and ample bosom, feeling that it was somewhat inappropriate, so he excused himself to find Professor Shen for some discussions.

'What's wrong with me?'

'Once this thought arises, it's hard to stop.'

The Daoist's mood is complicated.

He keeps having miscellaneous thoughts.

For example, is it fair to use Lingtong as an object for Red Dust Heart Refining? Once taken this step, how would he stop it? Being together for a long time is certainly fine, but if it delays his cultivation, what should he do?

Wang Jixuan feels, right now he is like a weak scholar who wants to cross the bridge but fears falling into the water, hesitant and indecisive.

Pathetic.

However, he only has this kind of emotion about such matters.

As for the technical aspects;

The Daoist hasn't eaten pork, but he's seen pigs run.

Whenever his Spiritual Sense sweeps by, unintentionally passing by mortal dwellings, he always sees various scenarios.

The Daoist shoved his hands into the pockets of his casual pants, walking calmly into Shen Qionglin's research institute.

Actually, Wang Jixuan didn't have anything specific to discuss with Shen Qionglin, he just made an excuse to leave Lingtong and wandered here.

This place used to be the Spiritual Ability House of Fortress 76, a small villa community with the research team scattered in different buildings;

Autonomous Mechanical Guards can be seen patrolling everywhere;

Occasionally, one or two people dressed in white lab coats can be seen walking on the balcony or in front of the buildings, holding a cigarette or two, discussing some experimental content.

In this era, talented people are in high demand, their overtime work is also common.

When Wang Jixuan found Shen Qionglin, the professor was lying asleep on a makeshift single bed, with some dried green blood on her gloves, obviously asleep for a while.

The Daoist applied a trace of mana, and Shen Qionglin's energy quickly replenished.

With her eyes closed, she said, "Commander... boss... you shouldn't come here for a stroll every time after visiting Major Lingtong; if people misunderstand that you're hiding a beauty here, I would gladly accept such a misunderstanding."

The Daoist knew she was joking and calmly walked to a corner to skillfully operate the automatic coffee machine, brewed himself a cup of coffee, and slowly sipped it.

Not as good as Mu Dan's.

Wang Jixuan asked, "Any research breakthrough?"

"No... no progress at all," Shen Qionglin continued resting with a playful laugh, "If you let me use the core circuit directly, I might be able to develop a replica circuit for it."

"Dream on."

The Daoist sneered:

"This thing is to be used for Enlightenment next, it can't be devoured by anyone.

"Once it hosts within you, your thoughts and actions will easily be influenced by it...

"Hmm, no, that's not right either.

"When Gao Huating took action in her previous life, she had already removed the will left by its previous hosts.

"Overall, the use of this item has been decided by me. Sharing is better than enjoying it alone."

Shen Qionglin sighed in disappointment, "If you have no other matters, I'll continue my nap."

"Didn't I just replenish your energy? Get up and let's chat."

"I really have no experience dating girls," Shen Qionglin said helplessly, "You might want to ask someone else."

"They aren't as discreet as you."

Wang Jixuan sat on the nearby sofa, leaning back and staring at the ceiling.

In his mind, the image of Lingtong began to appear.

Her every move was unforgettable, the unintentional glimpse of her fair skin seemed to possess a certain charm, and those mechanical arms clothed with new synthetic skin had an indescribable beauty.

The Daoist didn't break free from this annoying mental state, rather he was feeling the agitation of this Dao Heart.

Desire.

Red Dust.

Suddenly, Shen Qionglin opened her eyes and stared intently at Wang Jixuan's profile.

The Daoist felt uneasy under her gaze and wondered aloud, "What are you looking at?"

"Are you still a virgin?"

"Can you use a more elegant term! I have kept myself pure!"

Wang Jixuan replied irritably, without any shyness:

"Previously, to improve my cultivation and Self, I had to restrain my desires, but at this stage, indulgence is acceptable.

"This is also a kind of cultivation for me."

"Tch," Shen Qionglin curled her lips, "Although I don't really understand, and I'm not interested in it, I do know one theory."

"What theory?" Thecanonicalsourceforthiscontent:M|V|L2EMPYR.

"Desire is just desire, don't make excuses for yourself."

Shen Qionglin also looked up at the ceiling:

"If you can't even be honest about your desires, how can you call yourself a sincere person?

"Admit it, you just like Major Lingtong's face and figure."

Wang Jixuan pondered for a moment, "Actually, that's not entirely true... I do value the soul and character a lot."

"Hypocrite."

Shen Qionglin turned over, her back facing the Daoist:

"Go pursue your desires honestly, young man.

"Stop hiding here.

"It's really not a big deal; it's not like you're having those sorts of parties, you're just in a normal romantic relationship. Isn't love just about satisfying hormonal needs?

"I'll sleep for a while and then continue working."

Wang Jixuan stared blankly at the ceiling for a while.

He shook his head and sat up directly.
