Chapter 62 Learning from History
Good morning — or good afternoon.
After greeting Tallinn, Farin's face still held a hint of satisfaction.
Although a slight weariness remained, the moisturized glow transformed that weariness into a harmless languor, adding a unique charm to her already sophisticated aura.
"How was your rest?"
Tallinn inquired.
"It's alright. The Axiom of Life is indeed much stronger than the recovery magic of other axioms in terms of healing."
Upon hearing Tarlin's words, Farin nodded comfortably, leaned back in her chair, and then said, "It was a very unique experience. I don't think I'll ever forget you."
As she said this, Farin winked at Tarin and said, "Although this might hurt your feelings, my identity is special, so it's unlikely that I can advance any further from where I am now."
Fareen skillfully cut the steak with her knife and fork, her eyes lighting up as she put it in her mouth. Then, while squinting her eyes and enjoying the food, she said unhurriedly, "Of course, if it's just occasionally researching academic issues, it's fine."
"Yes, I know."
Hearing Farin's words, Tarin nodded in understanding.
Although yesterday's battle was intense and his words and actions were somewhat out of line in the heat of the moment, Tarlin knew very well that those were just words spoken to liven things up under special circumstances.
It would be foolish to take those words and actions seriously.
As the saying goes, "Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles," and I had already explored related knowledge in the Pagoda Forest in my previous life.
For example, in a certain comic, Prince Xiaonanliang of a certain country discovers a domestic abuser while inspecting the royal city. He thinks the abuser is very manly and then takes him back to the palace to play games.
As a result, the abusive man took it seriously and was still giving orders to Prince Nanliang even after the game ended. Then, Prince Nanliang, who had entered a state of enlightenment, directly ordered his execution.
Learning from history, Tallinn has no intention of inexplicably interfering in Farin's life.
Although the two haven't known each other for long, judging from some of the qualities that Farin has shown, this mature woman, while appearing calm, collected, and shrewd, was probably just as capable as Qiyana in her youth.
Seeing that Tarlin was so understanding, Farin nodded in satisfaction, then said with interest, "You agreed so easily? I thought you would try to go further for my connections and help."
"That sounds like something only an idiot who doesn't understand reality would do." Tarin shook his head, dividing the cut ribs onto Farin and Nidalee's plates, and said dismissively, "As for going further—let it happen naturally. No need for commitments, no need for commitments. You have your stance, I have my ideals. As long as we're on the same path, we'll naturally support and trust each other, and that's enough."
Upon hearing this, Farin nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good answer. Although it's my first time, I'm very satisfied."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Tallinn shrugged.
After noticing the oil stains around Farin's mouth, Tarin handed her a tissue and tidied Nidalee's hair that was hanging down in front of her.
Although Tallinn said he wouldn't go any further, he still maintained that attitude is attitude, stance is stance, and behavior is behavior.
Even if there is no further binding in terms of identity, attention and intimacy in behavior are still necessary.
Too far or too close can both cause resentment, so finding the right balance is key.
In the past, Tallinn would have also had a headache.
But now—
Dude, you've got a cheat code.
After sensing Farin's pheromones and connecting with the deep bond forged through life energy, Tarin quickly realized that Farin's inner needs had been met. He reasoned that continuing to care for her might have the opposite effect, so he began to focus on her diet.
Seeing Tarin's perfectly timed care and affection, Farin nodded in satisfaction. After finishing her brunch, she stood up and said, "Let's go. It's been a whole morning since we last met. I think our dear Qiyana must be getting impatient."
"That's true—"
Upon hearing this, Tallinn nodded in deep agreement.
Kiana's life in Ixtal was not ideal.
Now, the story of the Dragon King's return has finally arrived. In front of everyone, he defeats his elder sister, who is twelve years older than him and has been practicing martial arts of axioms since childhood, with his unparalleled talent and ability.
Moreover, more than four thousand years later, they innovated upon the original fundamental axioms and jointly developed the axioms of life with Tallinn.
After a night of fermentation, all the schools, big and small, in Ishtar had heard about Qiyana's name and about the axioms of life.
It's safe to say that nowadays, whenever Qiyana goes out, countless Yuental players will rush to invite her and ask her for advice.
This is exactly the moment Qiyana has been looking forward to most: being the center of attention.
And what happened? Because she had agreed with Tarin that she wouldn't appear on screen alone, she could only wait for Tarin to finish what he was doing. It would be strange if Qiyana wasn't angry.
While pondering, Tarin followed Farin to Qiyana's palace.
Upon seeing Tarin and Farin, Qiyana couldn't help but show a look of disdain. She looked at Tarin with a displeased expression and said, "Don't you always get up early? Why did you only get up at noon today? I've been waiting for you here for so long, I don't know how much time I've wasted."
"It's my fault."
Seeing this, if it were before, Farin wouldn't have planned to say anything, but thinking about how well Tarin had taken care of her after she woke up, Farin realized that what she said, "Don't even think about going any further," seemed a bit arbitrary.
No wonder Qiyana is so well-behaved; she's really easy to get along with. — Let's help her out where we can.
Thinking this, Farin simply showed her wrist and said, "I'm very interested in the axioms of life, so I had him draw them for me last night."
Upon hearing this, Qiyana nodded in understanding.
Although Tarin could draw spell formulas very quickly, Qiyana knew quite well that this spell formula was the easiest to draw, as she had been summarizing the axioms of life with Tarin.
The real challenge lies in how to clearly perceive the life energy of others and tailor it accordingly.
Although it's an exaggeration to think that you can understand and draw something in just one night, Qiyana has an inexplicable trust in Tarin and feels that if it's Tarin, it's not surprising that he can do such a thing.
After all, Tarin glanced at the spell formula he had painstakingly drawn and immediately mastered and surpassed it.
After another night of research, it's only natural to go further.
The only thing that puzzled Qiyana was —
Kiana reached out and pressed on Farin's lower abdomen, saying with some confusion, "Why is there one here too?"
