Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Royal Family Secrets
Lin Qingfeng’s lips twitched as he thought to himself, how had Theresa ever bullied Your Highness? Wasn’t it Theresa who always ended up losing?
Besides, although Helheim Star was not a pleasant place, it wasn’t troublesome for the Crown Prince at all.
It was only because His Highness’s strength had not yet recovered that he was defeated by Clive.
Furthermore, now that they had given the Crown Prince the family heirlooms, Purple Moon and Blue Star, wasn’t it clear enough with these equipments that he was well-appreciated?
But Lin Qingfeng had come to realize that he had not taken on the role of a father, but rather that of a mother-in-law, which was why he was becoming increasingly satisfied with Fu Xing. Though he had almost been killed by Fu Xing’s people on Capital Star, that could not overshadow his admiration for Fu Xing.
The City Lord was being quite unreasonable, resembling an old man who disliked his son-in-law more and more as he observed him.
"How is Ah Foo doing now?"
About this, Lin Qingfeng knew. Before the genetic modification surgery, there had been speculation, "It seems that Her Highness’s genetic modification surgery failed. Her altered genes are gradually reverting. Before the surgery, Her Highness’s personal physician mentioned that due to Her Highness’s unique spiritual power and genetic sequence, there was a significant risk of failure if she underwent genetic modification surgery."
Lin Cheng pondered for a moment and said with interest, "Interesting."
"City Lord, Her Highness really had no other choice. Her spiritual power had been increasing over the years, and if not restrained, her body would eventually collapse. Resorting to a genetic modification surgery was a desperate measure."
"The results, however, were not bad." Lin Cheng remarked sarcastically, "Right after the surgery, her spiritual power level fell to S, but then it shot up to 3S in no time! Looking at her hair color, her memories have also returned..."
What made Lin Cheng stay here was his certainty that after Ah Foo recovered her memories, she would not return with Fu Xing.
Lin Qingfeng felt deflated, utterly dismayed.
"How could this be..."
"Actually, Ah Foo’s situation isn’t unique. Do you know how the Mecklenburg Family rose to prominence?"
"How did they rise?"
"The founding emperor of Mecklenburg had a similar experience to Ah Foo’s. For a long time, he was used as a test subject, imprisoned by a mad scientist. To avoid becoming just a subject, he began his rebellion. Sadly, Ah Foo is a woman, and her physical condition isn’t as resilient as her ancestors’; her immense spiritual power is too much for her body to sustain."
Lin Cheng revealed this imperial secret lightly, "The founding emperor spent his childhood and youth in a laboratory, yet he went on to establish three thousand years of the Galaxy Empire’s greatness, leading humanity to explore and advance through the vast universe. Such immense talent and vision."
Even the citizens of the Democracy Alliance and the Free Federation acknowledged the contributions of the Galaxy Empire to humanity. In studying history, politics, and culture, the Galaxy Empire occupied a significant portion of the curriculum.
"Now, do you understand why Joseph IV is adamant about Ah Foo being the Crown Heir? Joseph IV has always been looking for a way to resolve Ah Foo’s underlying health issues. Unfortunately, due to the coup, the promising lead was also lost."
In fact, Lin Cheng’s absence recently was specifically due to pursuing this clue.
Yet, he had arrived back only to find this turmoil.
Lin Qingfeng was profoundly shaken and could hardly find the words to speak.
