Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution - Chapter 1160 1160: No Need to Practice Anymore

When Lin Shen carried Wine back home, Wine was still sleeping soundly, clutching the wine gourd in her small arms.

The Sword in Wine truly was an extraordinary skill, and the wine inside the gourd was no ordinary substance. Drinking it could transform one’s body and elevate their evolutionary state.

Initially, Lin Shen had only used the Netherworld Marriage Technique to control the wine gourd, intending to treat it as a divine artifact for Wine’s protection. He had no intention of letting her train in the Sword in Wine.

His family already possessed numerous skills; there was no need to cultivate such an enigmatic technique. Yet, Wine, with her greedy nature, treated the wine inside the gourd like milk. Even without formal training, the Sword Qi from the wine nourished her body, and she learned it instinctively.

When they saw Wine had been safely brought back, the others breathed a collective sigh of relief and quickly informed those still searching outside to return.

Wine clutched the gourd tightly in her arms. As Tie entered, the gourd trembled violently—it was so frightened it almost seemed paralyzed.

“What the hell kind of family is this?! That lunatic is part of this household too?” the wine gourd thought in confusion. It couldn’t comprehend what sins it had committed to deserve such terrible luck. After finally encountering a successor who might free it, it turned out to be someone from this bizarre family.

The gourd dared not make a sound. Lin Shen alone had already stripped it of any freedom. If that lunatic made a move, who knew what kind of torment awaited it.

Tie carefully reached out and cradled Wine, his demeanor unexpectedly gentle. Even that eternally stoic iron face of his seemed to gleam with traces of humanity—something Lin Shen had never seen before.

The elder sister said, “She’s the first child of our Lin Family. Your second brother dotes on her dearly, and she’s also the closest to him.”

As she spoke, Tie’s iron hand closed around the wine gourd. His fingers tightened, appearing ready to crush the gourd outright, as if he had already discerned that something was suspicious about it.

The gourd almost wet itself in fear. It felt as though it was about to be shattered, yet it couldn’t muster any strength to resist.

It could sense that Tie genuinely intended to end its existence.

“Ahh-ee yaa-yaa!” Wine reached out her soft little hands to grab at the wine gourd, seemingly trying to reclaim her beloved toy from Tie.

The murderous glint in Tie’s eyes gradually faded. His grip loosened as well. After giving the gourd a final glance, he returned it to Wine, stuffing it back into her arms.

Wine happily hugged the wine gourd, rubbing her small face against it joyfully.

Seeing this, Tie’s face finally softened, a rare warmth spreading across his iron features.

The wine gourd, having narrowly escaped death, silently celebrated its fortune. “Freaks… total freaks… this whole damn family is full of freaks…”

After some time apart, Lin Shen and Tian Xun shared an intimate moment. Later, the two lay in bed, recounting everything that had happened recently.

After listening to Lin Shen’s account, Tian Xun said solemnly, “Whether or not Second Brother is the reincarnation of the Ancient Realm King, he’s already part of our family now. You need to handle this matter carefully to ensure it doesn’t harm the bonds within our family.”

Lin Shen nodded slightly. He knew Tie genuinely cared about their family now. It was clear from the way he had just handled the wine gourd—it had been utterly powerless to resist. Tie’s strength had grown even greater, far surpassing his previous levels.

If Tie harbored any hostility toward the Lin Family, they would already be doomed. No one could stop him.

After much deliberation, Lin Shen decided to have an open and honest conversation with Tie. Precisely because he already considered Tie a part of the Lin Family, he had to let him know these things.

The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Shen arranged to take a walk with Tie. Once they reached the edge of Star Ring Island, Lin Shen came to a stop.

“If you’ve got something to say, now’s the time. There’s no one else here,” Tie said, looking at Lin Shen.

“Second Brother.” Lin Shen didn’t immediately bring up the issue but first called him “Second Brother.”

Tie paused briefly, a flicker of surprise crossing his face as he looked at Lin Shen. Although Tie often referred to himself as Lin Shen’s second brother, Lin Shen almost never addressed him that way.

“No matter who you are, you’re already a part of this family. You’re already my Second Brother,” Lin Shen said sincerely. “Precisely because you’re my family, there are some things I must tell you.”

“Lin Shen, go ahead,” Tie said softly. He could tell that what Lin Shen was about to say would be important.

Lin Shen proceeded to share everything he knew with Tie, down to the last detail. Whether it was confirmed or speculative, even his own analyses and guesses, he told Tie everything.

Tie listened in silence, not interrupting once throughout the entire account.

“Second Brother, I suspect you might be the reincarnation of the Ancient Realm King—or perhaps you were taken over by the Ancient Realm King—or maybe something else happened altogether,” Lin Shen said bluntly, voicing his suspicions.

“There are indeed many things I can’t remember. Recently, I’ve recalled bits and pieces, but as for what you mentioned, I truly don’t have any memory of it,” Tie replied, looking at Lin Shen. “Lin Shen, I can’t guarantee who I used to be, nor who I am now. But I can promise you this: right now, I am your Second Brother, the second brother of our elder sister, and Wine’s uncle, and that won’t change in the future.”

“It’s precisely because I hope you’ll always remain Second Brother that I’m telling you this. If you ever want to uncover your past, I can help you,” Lin Shen said.

Tie’s face broke into a smile. “To me, the past doesn’t matter anymore. I like the life I have now, and the people around me. I just want to live as who I am now. That’s enough.”

“Lin Shen, how’s your progress with Lawless Heaven?” Tie suddenly shifted the topic.

“Well…” Lin Shen sighed deeply at the mention of Lawless Heaven.

He couldn’t master it. He truly couldn’t. He simply couldn’t make any progress with that technique.

“If you can’t, then don’t force it,” Tie suddenly suggested.

Lin Shen was surprised and looked at Tie, not expecting him to advise giving up.

Previously, Tie had insisted Lin Shen was the most suitable person to master Lawless Heaven. If anything ever went wrong with him, Lin Shen would be the only one capable of stopping him.

Of course, the condition was that Lin Shen had to master Lawless Heaven first.

But now, in such a short time, Tie was telling him not to bother? Where had all that urgency gone?

Tie’s lips curled into a faint smile, his eyes softening. “I’ve found someone more suitable.”

“Who?” Lin Shen asked, puzzled. He couldn’t think of anyone else who could learn Lawless Heaven from Tie.

“Wine,” Tie said gently.

“She’s just a child,” Lin Shen exclaimed in shock.

“She’s already begun.”

In just a few simple months, Tie’s words left Lin Shen momentarily speechless. It was a while before he could manage to say, “That’s impossible… She probably can’t even remember what people’s faces look like yet…”

“Certain things come naturally. I passed it on to her, and she learned it. She’s already taken the first steps. It’s that simple. Her future achievements will surpass yours and mine. Once she’s grown, I won’t have to worry about myself anymore.”

Tie’s words were awkwardly phrased, but Lin Shen understood.

Once Wine grew up, not even Tie would be her match. If Tie ever lost control, Wine would be able to subdue him.
