CHAPTER 1260: CHAPTER 971: 1,001 CHILDREN

"Your life is still colorful." Huang Feng waved his hand. "Actually, when you first came in, I was shocked."

"Shocked? Why?" Xu Yang didn’t understand.

"I thought you were here to send us on a mission, that something had happened somewhere, dealing with the Domination Movement, the Wandering AI Legion, or tying us to the rocket of the Nestor Intergalactic Development Group, sending us to deep space to find some Earth-like planet. We’ve had enough, truly enough." Huang Feng sighed.

"I won’t just pull someone in, trust me, Huang Feng, even if I were to find you, I would reserve three months in advance." Xu Yang sat on a nearby stool, watching A40 use garden shears to trim the plants.

This reminded him of his daughter Qianshu, who used the magic power of plants. What is Qianshu doing now? Is she listening to her mother?

"Listen, Huang Feng is dead." Huang Feng said. "Call me by my original name—Adriana Gnevgut, we don’t want to have the slightest connection with past events, A40 has also changed its name, it will be a piece of iron in the future, a scrap iron."

"Yes, Ana!" A40 nodded to Huang Feng, "I am scrap iron!"

They would no longer venture into the mire of disputes. Xu Yang felt half relieved, half regretful in his heart.

He removed Huang Feng and A40’s names from the reserve list, since even if war broke out, they wouldn’t respond to the call.

"How is Jialong Slope now, is it good?" Xu Yang could scan the vast city outside, the golden hotels and commercial buildings forming a unique skyline.

"Kanako still manages here, any technology invented domestically and abroad will be sent here according to the Tech Alliance agreement, so... it’s alright? High efficiency, stable order, laws more than other places, living is comfortable anyway I’m more used to staying in places with such similar tropical climates." Huang Feng shrugged.

"Though you were born on the Taixi Continent, you can’t stand winter?" Xu Yang asked.

"In summer, I choose to stay indoors willingly, in winter, I’m forced to stay inside moldy, there’s a difference. Don’t talk about me, talk about you. You’ve planted more seeds in Jialong Slope than anywhere else, that Kanako is like a flowerpot." Huang Feng said.

"Yes, I have to go find Kanako." Xu Yang stood up, "By the way, do you want to arrange an upgrade for A40’s body? You can migrate the data to a newer version of the body."

"I’ve gotten used to it looking like this; don’t think of secretly swapping it for me." Huang Feng shouted.

"I don’t mind." A40 always didn’t mind.

"What if A40 encounters irreversible aging and decommissioning procedures?" Xu Yang asked.

Huang Feng’s face revealed a strange expression.

"What kind of question is that?" Huang Feng asked.

"It’s an objective question, A40 might age, even retire in ten years." Xu Yang said.

"Then." She said, "I will command reality, give me back my iron piece, no one can take it away from me, no one, time can’t, destiny can’t, neither can you."

She wants to stay with A40 until death.

...

At the Kanako Xisheng Group Building, Xu Yang quickly arrived at the aerial helipad, his body passed through a semi-transparent one-way shield, and once landed, the shield restored, forming a transparent curtain, offering a panoramic view of the city.

Since his visit four years ago, many changes have happened here, a D10 synthetic with a beautiful exterior received him respectfully on a high platform, dressed in ceremonial clothing, perfect hairstyle, and attractive figure:

"Honorable Mr. Xu, welcome to visit the Kanako Xisheng Group headquarters, Miss Kojima is waiting for you—please go upstairs." The D10 synthetic said.

Since the globally renowned D2 synthetic, Nestor Corporation has now begun production of D10 synthetics, everyone’s best partner, providing all mental and real-life services, equipped with the Omnipotent Divine Machine AI, able to answer all questions.

Kojima Kanako was wearing an off-white formal jacket, short hair at ear length, earrings dangling, wearing the diamond ring Xu Yang gave her, which she always saw as a wedding ring.

Her gaze initially was looking at Jialong Slope, but once Xu Yang approached, she suddenly turned around, stepped forward, her high heels crisp sounding, and her gaze met his, quickly throwing herself into his arms.

"Yang... I missed you so much..." Kanako tightly embraced Xu Yang, her head buried in his chest, Xu Yang’s hand brushed over her shoulder and back, smelling her familiar perfume.

"I missed you too, look at how well you’re doing now, flourishing, time hasn’t treated you unfairly, your reputation and legendary experiences already surpass your mother’s." Xu Yang said.

Kanako Xisheng Group is responsible for maintaining the credit and financial activities of the golden age, overseeing the global credit center, and like other companies, is also preparing to launch its own space development rockets.

Dominating such a company, Kanako is only allowed to show weakness at such moments, she leaned against Xu Yang, kissing him over and over.

"You know, every day I’m struggling, striving to shape the future, our future. I don’t want to disappoint you, I want to win in every investment." Kanako looked at Xu Yang with longing eyes.

"Take me to see the children." Xu Yang said, then kissed her forehead.

Kanako has an obsession with childbirth, Honma Noriko’s blood is boiling in her body, starting from Qianshu, in these 6 years, Xu Yang and Kanako have made 3 more babies, the children of Xisheng reborn in another form. Among them, 1 witch, 1 boy, 1 girl.

The recently born child is a little girl, currently less than a month old, sometimes Xu Yang kind of forgets how many kids he has, only now realizing he should pay more attention.

Kanako is engrossed in raising children, Xu Yang has no doubt she desires to build a huge family similar to "Xisheng’s children," he also doesn’t doubt his own ability, in the next 100 years, Kanako will undoubtedly surpass her mother, the children she gives birth to can form a thriving family.

However, witches, too many children turn into witches, witches have taken over the maternity ward reserved for human souls, even a huge family, once too many witches are born, will rapidly collapse.

Xu Yang holds no hope for this, unless Farosa can enact "Witch Legislation," declaring witches and witches can lay eggs and hatch them to create little witches, thus witches creating witches while humans create humans, seems peaceful.

At this moment, Kanako led Xu Yang to the headquarters’ nurturing room, passing through the white sterile corridor, her high heels clicking sharply with every step, Xu Yang remembered a few years ago she didn’t love wearing high heels, Kanako grew up too.

Kanako stopped in front of a wide window, pointed with her finger: "Look at our child." Her tone carried pride and possessiveness, only she could help Xu Yang produce, this was her privilege.

Through the glass, Xu Yang saw his newborn little daughter, he pressed his forehead against the glass.

The lighting of the equipment and pipelines emitted a soft atmosphere in the room, only to see the baby lying in the incubator, nutrients flowing into her thin blood vessels through pipelines, the surrounding monitors tracked her development status and vital signs.

"This will be a good child." Xu Yang felt she was smart from a young age, "Naming her Zhixing, Xu Zhixing, or Kojima Tomoyuko."

"Good name, Zhixing, our child will never experience hardship and deprivation, never endure the suffering of the previous generation. The previous generation’s war has ended, she comes into this world to enjoy all the blessings of the golden age." Kanako announced.

"You want her to grow up to be what?"

"Professional asset manager, actuary, science officer, at worst a doctor. In any case, not a worthless writer or artist." Kanako said.

"I have so many children." Xu Yang felt unable to count.

"I want to give you 1001 children." Kanako greedily said.

"How about Qianshu?" Xu Yang scanned the company register, noticing his eldest daughter Xu Qianshu was not on it.

"She—" Kanako’s previously smiling expression suddenly halted.

"Where did she go?" Xu Yang became alert.

"Qianshu... is not here, she is in the outskirts." Kanako hesitantly said.

"What is she doing in the outskirts? How long has it been since she came back?"

"A few months, I can’t control her, I tracked her, she’s safe, but she likes it in the outskirts. Isn’t she the Witch of Plants? She wants to follow the changes of plants. She rejected all the courses I gave her." Kanako said.

"I feel you’re not very concerned about Qianshu." Xu Yang said.

"No, I just, I have no way." Kanako sighed.

"How can you have no way?" Xu Yang couldn’t understand.

"You know? Just like me, my mom never had a way to catch me, and I also have no way to catch Qianshu." Kanako said.
