1848 The Best Genetic Inheritor
“Pass down genes? Partners?”
Lu Siya’s thoughts were so random that Meng Chao could not keep up.
“This is about giving birth. Let’s have a child together,” Lu Siya said.
“Oh, maybe more than one. In my opinion, it’s best to have more than a hundred children to form the most powerful family in Dragon City. On one hand, we can continue Superstar Company and Sky Pillar Corporation’s businesses and strengthen our power. On the other, among our one hundred children, the strongest one will have the best chance of surviving the apocalypse and rebuilding a civilization that’s marked by our lives.”
!!Meng Chao felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was dumbfounded.
“H-how is that possible?” he stuttered.
“Why isn’t it? I don’t have to give birth myself.”
Lu Siya spread her hands and nonchalantly said, “Society is progressing, and technology is developing. Current spirit energy cultivation technology is already on the verge of a breakthrough. If we can gather Superstar Company and Sky Pillar Corporation’s resources, I believe that in less than three to five years, we’ll definitely be able to develop an artificial birth pod. It will replace the mother’s body and nourish the offspring. This will free all women from the heavy work of giving birth and allow them to devote themselves to research, exploration, cultivation, and combat. This will also increase Dragon City’s overall combat power by at least ten to twenty percent.
“Of course, if we run into any technical difficulties, I won’t mind conceiving myself. Although my spirit meridians are damaged, my genes have not mutated. It won’t be a problem for me to birth three to five healthy, lively, and strong children.”
“I’m not talking about that ‘possibility!'” Meng Chao shouted.
“I’m saying, isn’t this the monster mastermind’s idea? Didn’t it capture your soul and force you to say the same thing before? The monster mastermind wants to use this as a way to be born into the world as ‘our child!'”
“That’s half of it, I guess.”
Lu Siya tilted her head and seriously thought about it for a long time. “The monster mastermind had its own plan obviously, but it was very weak at that time, so it couldn’t completely go against my will… For instance, if it had asked me to kill you directly, I definitely wouldn’t have done it.
“Thanks to my strong will, I’m not rejecting you right now… Fine, to be more precise, I really want to continue working together with you and pass down our genes. That’s why the monster mastermind wants to make use of it!
“W-What?”
Meng Chao was shocked by Lu Siya’s boldness. “Why?”
“Aren’t there plenty of reasons?”
Lu Siya shrugged and said, “Firstly, all living creatures are, in a sense, slaves to genes. Gene inheritance is the greatest, if not sole meaning, of continuing life.
“Although human beings claim to be the most superior creatures, we cannot resist the sacred destiny that we’ve inherited from billions of years ago. During the bloody age, when war was everywhere, nobody knew if they could live to see tomorrow. The entire civilization was like a boat in a stormy ocean that could capsize at any moment.
“Under such circumstances, everybody had an intense impulse and deep desire to do everything they could to continue their bloodline and pass down their genes. I am no exception.
“Since I want to continue my bloodline, I need to find a partner with the best genes.
“In the entire Dragon City, you are the strongest and most outstanding one among the males between the ages of eighteen and fifty. This doesn’t change even if I expand my search area. Who else would I look for if not you?
“Secondly, your business is growing, and I have plans to take over Sky Pillar Corporation as well as control the other mega corporations. Although I’m not very interested in marriage in a worldly sense, I have to admit that since Earth’s old moral system has yet to fall apart, a high-profile business marriage and the birth of many children will help us. We’ll be able to realize our grand ambitions, increase mutual trust between the two interest groups behind us, and even stabilize the situation in Dragon City.
“Thirdly, I’m incredibly busy. Aside from training, I have to oversee Superstar Company’s daily affairs as the CEO. I also have to secretly find a way to reclaim Sky Pillar Corporation and regain my position as the Lu family’s head. These things should have belonged to me in the first place!
“On top of that, there’s the matter of dealing with the Azure Alliance’s complicated affairs and maintaining my friendly image in public.
“Therefore, I don’t have the time to find any man besides you to start a romantic relationship. Together, we can complete the task of genetic inheritance that’s in line with societal norms and receive everyone’s approval as well as blessing.”
“What about a business marriage with the heirs of the mega corporations?”
“In theory, that’s the second best choice.
“However, I always want to be first in everything. I only want to eat the best food, and I don’t like to settle for the second best.
“I am also special. Although I was born in one of the nine noble cultivation families, I’m currently in charge of Superstar Company. Through the Azure Alliance, I represent the interests of the ordinary citizens and stand against the nine noble families.
“My identity makes it difficult for me to find a suitable partner among those in the nine mega corporations. Even if I manage to find one, I’ll always have to look over my shoulder.
“Let me give you a simple example. You and I have been baptized by the spirit energy tide and reborn in the Blue Origin Crystal mine. There is a subtle telepathic connection between us. Whenever we train together, our vitality magnetic fields resonate, and our training efficiency improves significantly by more than 300%.
“So, if I end up marrying one of the mega corporations’ heirs, how am I supposed to slip away from my husband every day and enter the same training cabin as you? Even if my husband doesn’t mind, those pervasive tabloid reporters will make a big story out of it and stir up trouble.
“Also, if I, the CEO of Superstar Company, make a deal with my husband’s corporation, how am I going to convince you and all the directors, shareholders, and employees of Superstar Company that I haven’t betrayed your interests in the deal?
“Last but not least, I’m still a normal woman with very normal needs, but I don’t trust anyone besides you.
“I want to let go of everything and soar. I don’t want to spare even one percent of my attention on the person sleeping next to me, worrying that he might be scheming against me, taking advantage of me, or stabbing me in the back. That would waste too much of my time.
“There’s only one person I can completely trust and let myself go around, and that person is you. Is that good enough of a reason?”
