Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 492 - 93: P.F.D.A.

"I can’t believe Tianfu City is that noble... If there’s a truly powerful ability user, they would bend over backwards to meet their demands, even if it’s a woman," Shinkata Misaki said.

"No, that’s not the misunderstanding I’m talking about," Sun Hang shook his head. "What I mean is, you might have misunderstood my charm—women would come throwing themselves at me even if I don’t make such demands."

"...I’ve never met anyone as shameless as you," Shinkata Misaki was stunned for a moment, then cursed fiercely.

"Well, now you have," Sun Hang chuckled and sat down on the sofa, taking a bite of an apple. "There’s a saying: If you have no shame, you’re invincible."

"Sorry, as a woman, I really don’t find you charming at all," Shinkata Misaki frowned. "I won’t deny your strength, but your charm..."

Shinkata Misaki shook her head regretfully.

"Being strong is a form of charm too, isn’t it?" Sun Hang said. "In primitive societies, only strong men could survive, and women, whose physical stature is generally weaker compared to men, also choose healthy and strong men for survival and superior offspring, ignoring the old, weak, sick, and disabled." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Sun Hang continued, "Although saying this might get me criticized by some, I still have to say that the trait of admiring strength is ingrained in many women, or rather, in the DNA of female creatures. In the days of survival, women chose strong men; in this modern world made of concrete and steel, women are inclined towards powerful, influential, and wealthy men... The definition of a strong man may change with the times, but the admiration for strength does not."

"But there are also some women who choose love..."

"You’d better not say that out loud; it might make people question your real age," Sun Hang raised a finger. "Not just women, even in wild animal herds, only the strongest males enjoy mating and breeding rights... Compared to that, the human marital system is quite fair to less dominant males."

"Ugh, stop talking to me!" Shinkata Misaki, unable to out-argue Sun Hang, simply buried her head in the sofa like an ostrich, pressing a cushion over her head.

"Have you been reading too many romance novels?" Sun Hang asked.

"I told you not to talk to me, are you deaf?" Shinkata Misaki’s muffled voice came from beneath the cushion.

"Diagnosed with teenage rebellion," Sun Hang curled his lips, "A taste of the harsh realities of society will help... Unfortunately, given your status, you probably can’t live like a normal person."

"Probably?" Hearing Sun Hang’s words, Shinkata Misaki suddenly tore off the cushion and bounced up from the sofa. "You mean I still have a chance to live a normal life?"

"I doubt Dubhe Tower would agree, but if you threatened with your life, they might give you considerable freedom... similar to those freelance ability users. Of course, there’s also the chance they might violently extract and study your eye..."

"Tch, that’s practically the same as saying nothing," Shinkata Misaki slumped back against the sofa, her arms hanging down from her sides in resignation.

"Are your parents still around? If you refuse to cooperate with Dubhe Tower, they might be under tremendous pressure."

"My dad is a deadbeat who got his brains eaten by a malicious entity while acting as cannon fodder for the Investigation Bureau; my mom ran off with someone when I was six. If she finds out I’m rich now, she might shamelessly come find me... Unfortunately, I won’t acknowledge her," Shinkata Misaki said indifferently. "So, you might as well consider me an orphan."

"So if your accounts are cleared, properties reclaimed, you’re only given a legal citizen ID, and you’re banned from using your abilities, then thrown onto the streets, what would you do? Chase the wind and freedom, poetry and the future?" Sun Hang asked.

"Don’t worry, I’ve got hands and feet, I won’t starve on the streets," Shinkata Misaki grumbled.

"Alright, you could try that someday,"

"Really?" Shinkata Misaki’s eyes lit up.

"I only said maybe," Sun Hang replied. "After all, those people at Dubhe Tower might not take my advice."

"You better not go back on your word!" Shinkata Misaki said. "If I can truly survive on my own, you must help me gain more freedom!"

"I never agreed to that... But it’s not impossible either," Sun Hang pondered, "If you manage to survive alone without using your abilities for a month, I’ll help you... But the precondition is that Dubhe Tower agrees to the first suggestion."

For someone like Shinkata Misaki, constantly under Dubhe Tower’s surveillance, the chances of escaping to experience life’s harsh lessons on her own were slim...

Unless this special mission’s nature meant they didn’t plant agents nearby, the villa’s surroundings would likely have spies everywhere.

There might even be someone hiding inside the trash can by the front door.

For such a person to experience the "harshest lessons" of society would be quite challenging.

...

It wasn’t until noon that a disheveled Yang Lian, wrapped in her thick fleece pajamas, hobbled upstairs.
