Chapter 76: Bai siblings, formation complete!

Lin Feng remained silent for a long time, feeling sorry for his fourth sister, who had been innocently implicated. "Then," he finally asked, "what about the other Lin family members?"

"The current head of the Lin family did well in raising his children. Although they looked at us coldly and made some remarks, they didn’t go too far because they themselves acknowledged that Lin Dong had committed the affair while he was still part of the Lin family. In short, they believe the scandal was a Lin family matter and should have been dealt with internally. They hated Bai Rouxi and the former matriarch more."

Lin Feng slowly nodded and sighed.

Yet Lin Feng still selfishly felt that the original body’s owner was not entirely to blame. He had been driven to desperation. If there was another person he felt compassion for, it would be Uncle Tang.

Lin Feng left his big brother’s room after receiving all the information about the Lin family. He also received an electric taser, which his big brother taught him how to use, just in case.

Inside his room, Lin Feng stood tense as he stared at the taser. Straightening his arm as much as possible to maximize the distance between the taser and his body, he gingerly pressed the button again.

’Bzzzzt.’

A bluish-white line faintly appeared between the two pincer-like metal prongs, making Lin Feng flinch a little and almost drop it.

It was unclear whether it was just his imagination, but Lin Feng thought he smelled a faint burnt scent in the air.

Just as Lin Feng gingerly placed the taser on the shelf by the mirror and took a few steps back, a knock sounded on the door.

"?" Lin Feng opened the door and peered out, his amber eyes blinking. "Second Brother."

Bai Jiancheng unceremoniously pushed open the door and stepped into the room.

"Here." He threw a bag at Lin Feng, who hurriedly caught it.

It was quite heavy and hard, making Lin Feng stagger a little.

"What’s this, Second Brother?"

Bai Jiancheng was speechless when he saw the boy stumble under such a little weight.

He had to revise his understanding of Third Brother’s weakness.

"It’s silk armor and a protective corset."

The boy blinked again, a question mark floating above his head.

"Armor?" This was something that had existed in his past life. But silk armor?

’Can silk even be made into armor?’

"I got it through my connections back in the military. It’s not government-issued, just customized for collection purposes, but it turned out to be too small for me. Don’t ask questions. Just wear it and see if it fits."

Over the next few minutes, Lin Feng was almost forced to undress, but after much insistence, he finally managed to put the silk armor on over his clothes.

The texture felt like silk, and Lin Feng had no idea how something so soft could even protect his body, but Bai Jiancheng looked at him as if he were a fool.

"This is a smart fabric made of nano-engineered materials and reactive polymers. It’s soft now, but when subjected to a high-speed impact, it hardens like armor."

Lin Feng heard every word and, with the familiar memories in the body, understood the meaning of each strange term. Yet altogether, he felt as if he were listening to a supernatural tale told by storytellers.

’This world is amazing,’ Lin Feng sighed, feeling even more strongly that the current generation had truly surpassed its predecessors.

Seeing that it was a little loose, Bai Jiancheng’s heroic brows furrowed. "You’re too thin. How come even such a small piece of wearable armor can’t fit you?"

In the end, Bai Jiancheng still left the silk armor behind, telling Lin Feng not to forget to wear it under his clothes and wrap the protective corset around it to keep it in place.

After closing the door, Lin Feng finally sighed in relief. Then he could not help but smile as he thought back to the two brothers’ ways of showing concern.

However, Lin Feng was relieved far too soon.

Knock, knock.

"..."

At this point, Lin Feng’s expression was almost blank as he stared at the door.

Knock, knock, knock.

"...."

The person on the other side kept knocking.

A helpless sigh sounded again, and the slender boy finally moved to reach out and turn the knob, opening the door wide to reveal a young girl smiling sheepishly on the other side, holding a paper bag in one hand.

"Third Brother, sorry for disturbing you. There’s just something I want to give you. I’m telling you, you need it so that you can shine brightly later!"

Then she jumped into the room, poured the contents of the bag onto the table by the bed, and began explaining enthusiastically.

Unlike her two older brothers, Bai Jianning’s thoughts were vastly different.

In her mind, the way to enter a battle was to display an overpowering force that no one could deny—beauty!

Especially if Lin Xiaoxiao really showed up, her third brother had to stun that girl with his beauty so that Lin Xiaoxiao would feel inferior enough to back down!

Facial masks, moisturizer, toner, essence, all sorts of skincare products—there was even lip balm and lip tint.

Lin Feng had initially just been trying to accommodate his family members’ concerns, but slowly, he found himself captivated by the girl’s explanation.

The original body clearly had little impression of skincare products and had never bothered to think about them or pay any attention to them.

But who was Lin Feng?

Within Lin Feng was the soul of an ancient woman who had spent an entire lifetime following a constant beauty regimen. In his previous life, the old Madam Lin had even studied beauty recipes from palace maids and imperial chefs to maintain her title as the capital’s number one beauty!

Lin Feng’s amber eyes grew brighter and brighter until he was practically glowing, and Bai Jianning had to stop and close her eyes because her third brother was just too... enchanting when he looked at her like this.

"Third Brother," she suddenly stopped mid-sentence, covering her eyes in distress, and exclaimed, "Please stop looking at me like that, or I really won’t be able to bring myself to like another man with a lesser appearance in the future, ah! I still want to find my own prince."
