SRGA Chapter 83: Losing Traditional Culture
Luo Bingning gazed at Lin Tian, hesitant to speak.
"Lin Tian, you may not be able to cure me. If that's the case, I'll die in my thirties. Are you still willing to be with me?"
"If we have children, they may not even be ten years old by then."
Lin Tian grinned. "Bingning, how about I make you pregnant right away? That way, the child will be in their teens by then."
Luo Bingning rolled her eyes. "You're not taking this seriously."
Lin Tian said, "Let me joke around a bit. Middle-aged widower, inheriting billions of assets, isn't that too good to be true?"
Luo Bingning grabbed Lin Tian's arm and bit down.
"Ouch."
"You're such a dog."
Lin Tian pretended to cry out in pain.
Luo Bingning let go and glared at him. "You keep spouting nonsense, I'll make you bleed."
A phrase flashed through Lin Tian's mind.
A drop of 'that' makes ten drops of blood.
"Bingning, don't worry. Although your condition is complicated, once I improve my medical skills, we can solve it."
"Even if it can't be completely cured, with my improved medical skills, I can help you manage it better, and you'll live longer, right?"
"Another twenty or thirty years should be no problem."
Lin Tian chuckled.
Luo Bingning's eyes lit up. "Really?"
Lin Tian shrugged. "At the very least, I'm worth over a hundred million now. What would I gain from lying to you?"
"If I really become a middle-aged widower, raising a child alone? Even if I have money, the lack of maternal love will greatly affect the child."
Luo Bingning huffed. "We're not even officially together yet."
"I need to test you some more."
Deep down, Luo Bingning had already accepted Lin Tian.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have accepted that necklace.
But they had only known each other for just over ten days, which was too short.
"Lin Tian, don't tell anyone about my condition."
"Nobody."
"Whether it's Yanzi, my grandpa, or my parents."
Luo Bingning instructed, "With another twenty or thirty years to live, there's no need for them to worry about my condition."
Lin Tian nodded.
He wasn't one to blabber, and if Luo Bingning didn't mention it, he naturally wouldn't tell anyone about her condition.
Moreover, Luo Bingning's condition was much more serious than he had said.
"Lin Tian, stay with me and watch TV for a while."
"This show is quite good."
Lin Tian grinned. "Watching TV with you is no problem, but I'm earning millions every minute. Is there any benefit to watching TV with you?"
"What benefits do you want?"
Luo Bingning coquettishly asked.
"Simple, just holding your hand while watching TV."
He wanted to hug Luo Bingning while watching, but she probably wouldn't agree now, and it would make him uncomfortable too.
As a young man with hot blood, holding a beauty like Luo Bingning would be too tempting.
"Okay."
Luo Bingning weakly agreed.
She could accept holding hands, as they had done before when watching movies.
Lin Tian sat beside Luo Bingning.
He held her delicate hand.
Luo Bingning's heartbeat quickened slightly.
This hand-holding was quite different from the last time they did it at the movies.
Back then, she didn't have much affection for Lin Tian.
Now, deep down, she had basically accepted him.
Plus, that time was in public, and she knew Lin Tian wouldn't do anything inappropriate. But now, it was just the two of them, with their bodies close together.
Would Lin Tian do anything?
After a while.
"Oops, that's a blooper. It's snowing, but the distant trees are still lush and green."
Lin Tian chuckled.
Luo Bingning said, "The filming schedule is limited. This is artificial snow scenery, so this drama was probably filmed in March or April."
Lin Tian was taken aback, awakened by Luo Bingning's words. During the winter, he could definitely take Luo Bingning to a tropical place.
Like Sanya.
This way, the likelihood of Luo Bingning's Ice Pith erupting from her Dantian would be much lower.
"I almost made myself look stupid."
"Past experiences can't be completely applied. In the past, without airplanes, we couldn't travel far, but now, it's easy to go to the Southern Hemisphere."
Lin Tian thought to himself.
In ancient times, this was known as Xuan Yin Absolute Pulse. With modern transportation, as long as they avoided winter, the impact of Xuan Yin Absolute Pulse would be reduced.
"With this, as long as my medical skills reach the Grandmaster level, helping Bingning get through this winter, or even next winter, shouldn't be a problem."
"As long as we can get through this winter, I'll still have plenty of time, and if we make it through next winter, my time will be even more ample."
Lin Tian thought to himself.
With so much time, he didn't believe he couldn't obtain better treasure chests.
The Golden Chest shouldn't be the best.
"Phew."
Lin Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Having the system, time was his best friend. Given enough time, any problem could be solved.
"Come to think of it, I can obtain various treasure chests from Bingning. Perhaps it's because she has the Ice Pith Xuan Yin constitution."
"This would explain why I can't obtain them from others."
Lin Tian thought to himself.
The Ice Pith Xuan Yin constitution was a top-tier cultivation constitution. Encountering such a constitution wasn't just rare for centuries; it was a certainty.
"Lin Tian, what are you thinking?"
Luo Bingning turned to ask.
Lin Tian seemed lost in thought just now.
Lin Tian regretfully said, "I was thinking about how the excellent traditional customs of ancient times haven't been passed down. Losing traditional culture, sigh!"
"You mean ancient practices like playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting?"
"These have been passed down, just not as highly valued as before."
Luo Bingning said.
Lin Tian shook his head. "I'm talking about the ancient practice of having multiple wives and concubines. It's such a good traditional culture that's been lost, it's lamentable!"
Luo Bingning's jade hand reached Lin Tian's waist.
She gave it a gentle twist.
"Ow... Ouch!"
Lin Tian pretended to cry out in pain.
"I'm ignoring you. I'll watch the show alone. You go to bed quickly. You might dream of everything when you fall asleep."
Luo Bingning huffed.
"Bingning, how about I accompany you to sleep tonight? I'm afraid you'll worry about your illness and secretly wipe away your tears at night."
Lin Tian grinned.
"I won't."
Luo Bingning said, annoyed.
Lin Tian's reaction made her feel like her condition might not be that serious.
With Lin Tian's personality, if he wasn't thinking about taking advantage of her, then that would be a bigger problem. In that case, she probably wouldn't live much longer.
"Don't regret it."
"Hmph, I won't."
Lin Tian went back to his room.
He needed to cultivate. As long as there wasn't anything extremely important delaying him, he wouldn't miss his cultivation every night now.
"I can't improve in ancient medical skills without the system, but in martial arts, I can definitely cultivate to the Grandmaster realm!"
"If I reach the Grandmaster realm, coupled with Grandmaster-level ancient medical skills, perhaps I can ease Bingning's situation slightly."
"As long as we get through this year, it'll definitely be fine."
Lin Tian thought to himself.
He couldn't rely all his hopes on the system.
What if he couldn't obtain Grandmaster-level medical skills after a long time?
