"Elemental Duke Karma?"

Lin Ke was puzzled: "Are you talking about Deep Blue Duke..."

"Correct!" Hurricane Duke snorted: "Elemental Duke Karma is an old flame of that old bastard Deep Blue!"

Indeed!

An Elemental Duke, as a female duke, being an old flame of Deep Blue Duke?

These nobles sure know how to have fun!

Lin Ke couldn’t help but ask: "Does that mean she will interfere in this matter?"

"That’s uncertain." Hurricane Duke replied: "The relationships Deep Blue has cultivated over the years are deeply intertwined and his power is damn significant, which makes it hard for the Sleepless to completely remove his influence."

"If Elemental Duke finds out you’re here, she wouldn’t dare kill you, but she could definitely cause some trouble for you."

Hurricane Duke spoke in a deep voice: "Using others to do the dirty work is also a possibility."

Quite troublesome indeed!

Lin Ke furrowed his brow.

But he really needs the Tree of Nature from the Forest Hut, as the future industrial base of Great Wilderness City will need to address countless pollution issues, including those related to daily life.

Moreover, due to past grievances, the Forest Hut must be eliminated.

"Of course, if you agree to a request, I can help fend off that crazy woman for you..." Hurricane Duke suddenly gave Lin Ke a meaningful look.

Lin Ke’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help but ask: "What request?"

"An arranged marriage." Hurricane Duke chuckled.

As soon as the words fell, several glances were cast in the reception room.

From fifteen-year-old girls to three-year-old toddlers.

Each looking at Lin Ke with eager eyes.

"Gulp." Lin Ke swallowed his saliva: "Um, I already have a wife..."

Three years minimum sentence, maximum death penalty!

Only a fool would want a loli!

"Not you!" Hurricane Duke glared at Lin Ke and continued: "Your first offspring, if it’s a boy, marries my daughter; if it’s a girl, she marries my son. How about it?"

"I currently don’t plan on having children." Lin Ke shook his head: "Besides, I hope my offspring can follow love, not arranged marriages."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him with admiration.

Revin’s mother had a gleam in her eyes, contemplating something unknown.

Hurricane Duke’s daughters revealed a mysterious glint in their eyes, and their gaze toward Lin Ke became even more intense.

Only Revin pursed his lips, knowing Lin Ke better than his own family.

"Oh?" Hurricane Duke chuckled: "Fine, I really damn appreciate you. Hmm, let’s do this..."

Hurricane Duke pondered for a moment and smiled: "How about I leave these little brats to you, regardless of their survival, they’ll stay away from the Hurricane Domain until they have offspring. What do you think?"

Lin Ke suddenly frowned.

Regardless of their survival?

Not returning to Hurricane Domain until they have offspring?

What’s Hurricane Duke up to?

Does he want Lin Ke to be a babysitter?

"Lord Hurricane..."

Lin Ke was about to speak when Hurricane Duke gestured with his hand and said: "Lava, you have to understand, no noble stands alone. Even your Azanen had an arranged marriage with the Blando Clan back in the day, right?"

Hurricane Duke looked at Lin Ke: "You only married into the Black and White Clan, from an outsider’s perspective, it seems suspicious, as if there are ulterior motives..."

The words enlightened Lin Ke!

Nobility!

Not to mention someone like Deep Blue Duke, whose relationships are deeply rooted within the country, even the smallest familes have arranged marriages with others.

It’s not just about cultivating influence, but also...

"Lineage!" Hurricane Duke laughed: "Dammit, the creation of lineage is random. You as a powerful person have a greater chance of producing strong lineage. By merging and varying your lineage with different lineages, you might create an even stronger lineage! This is your mission as part of the Human Race!"

"Sleepless doesn’t care about these things, nor do others talk to you, dammit, so only I discuss it with you." Hurricane Duke smacked his lips: "Of course, your impact on the Human Race is substantial, marriage or not is up to you. I’m just reminding you."

Indeed!

Lin Ke had indeed overlooked this point!

However, Lin Ke wouldn’t easily change his stance.

Lineage can be merged and mutated, and this is indeed important for the diversity of the Human Race lineage.

Looking at the Gula Kingdom’s nobles, while not all, most contribute somewhat to the diversity of the Human Race lineage.

But contributions to the Human Race come in many forms, and Lin Ke believes one cannot solely judge based on this.

Nonetheless...

"Thanks for the reminder... But my stance remains unchanged." Lin Ke expressed gratitude to Hurricane Duke: "I will not impose upon the will of my offspring, nor will I control their lives. However, if the Duke’s children wish to study in Great Wilderness City, they are very welcome!"

Hurricane Duke burst out laughing upon hearing Lin Ke’s words: "Haha, good, good, not controlling their lives... Haha, good! Just for that speech, I’ll shield you from Elemental Duke!"

"Not controlling children’s lives, it’s my philosophy too! Haha!" Hurricane Duke couldn’t help but slap Lin Ke on the shoulder.

Lin Ke grinned slightly: "That’s indeed fortunate." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Beside them, the children who had their lives dictated subtly smiled, their expressions natural.

Having become a legend and escaped being controlled, Revin also smiled slightly, expressing his agreement.

"Alright, after you fight that damn war, I’ll send these little ones over to you, while I handle things on Elemental Duke’s side." Hurricane Duke waved his hand: "After dinner, I’ll lead you along the route. Uh, dammit, what’s your name again?" Hurricane Duke pointed at Revin.

"Father, I am Revin, Revin Hurricane." Revin smiled faintly.

"Oh oh oh, right right, you brat have been gone for over twenty years, I almost forgot! I was wondering why it felt so good to hit you, turns out it’s you." Hurricane Duke slapped his head, continuing: "Afterwards, you damn brat hit your siblings one by one, remember not to kill them!"

"Yes, Father." Revin replied, then smiled at his siblings, a smile harboring hidden intentions.

Lin Ke had become accustomed to Hurricane Duke’s family style, just quietly observing before chatting with Hurricane Duke.

At night, after a lively and friendly dinner, Lin Ke remarked on Hurricane Duke’s excessively free-spirited family style.

He managed to refuse twelve kisses from the Duke’s wives and eight daughters’ wandering hands, dodged three Child of the Hurricane’s advances, and secured a residence furthest away from Revin’s room.

That night, Lin Ke’s room was touched 187 times, hit 65 times, and his pressure shield shattered 24 times.

Of course, they bore no malice, merely seeking to promote the diversity of the Human Race lineage. They harbored no ill intent.

Lin Ke even overheard whispered plans to take turns until he was dry.

Fortunately, the righteous Duke of Lava carried the Faser Key with him, spending the night at Faser’s Lava City.

The next day, Lin Ke, with dark circles under his eyes, smiled and followed Hurricane Duke on their departure.

"Hey, you’re quite capable!"

"Don’t mention it, Hurricane Duke is more impressive."

Both hinted at mutual recognition, then stopped discussing the topic further.
