439: Chapter 438: True Genetic Optimization 439: Chapter 438: True Genetic Optimization “Huh?”

Hearing what Ge Changming said, Lu Zixun instantly became interested.

He opened his eyes and looked at Ge Changming with gossip gleaming in his eyes, “What’s the deal here?

What race is this Yang Mingyu?”

Geng Xiyuan’s true form is a black panther, and Lu Zixun felt pretty good about the idea of him having a child.

“Um…”

Ge Changming seemed to have a hard time answering, but after a moment he explained, “Remember when Xiyuan was hospitalized for a while?

That was the time he got injured from the testing.

It just so happened that this girl was working at the hospital, and the two of them hit it off.”

“After all, young people are fiery.

When Xiyuan first told me about it, I was dumbfounded.”

Covering his face, Ge Changming barely kept his laughter in check, “That girl’s original form is a squirrel.”

“?”

A question mark appeared on Lu Zixun’s forehead, while his mind mulled over…

He pondered what species would the lovechild of a black panther and a squirrel be.

Seeing the peculiar expression on Lu Zixun’s face, Ge Changming knew his thoughts had taken a strange turn and quickly clarified, “Brother Xun, the child born is not of the Demon Clan, but human.”

“???”

Hearing this, Lu Zixun’s pupils constricted, as it defied all logic.

How could the child born be human…

“That’s because, after transformation, the body’s structure also changes, and naturally, a child born in a human form will be human…”

As he listened to Ge Changming ramble on, Lu Zixun finally grasped what was going on.

The child being human was fine, and even an A-level Demon Ability User at that.

During the embryonic stage, the child could continuously absorb the mother’s Power of Faith.

By the age of five, they could freely transform between human and demon forms.

Lu Zixun suddenly felt that the Genetic Optimization Formula of the Three Prefectures was nothing special— the real deal was the Demon Clan.

However, it was precisely because the child was born an A-level that without sufficient Power of Faith for the embryo to consume, miscarriage would be the least of concerns, as the mother could also die from having too much Power of Faith drained.

“Later, I’ll have to congratulate Xiyuan for becoming a dad so soon.”

After musing for a moment, Lu Zixun looked thoughtful, “Perhaps we could also create a Life Corridor.”

Upon hearing this, Ge Changming’s pupils shrank, and he furiously shook his head, “No way, Brother Xun, the Three Prefectures are heartless and cruel to deprive people of their freedom to love; we can’t do that!”

Lu Zixun cast a surprised glance at Ge Changming and raised a paw to cover his eyes.

What was this guy thinking?

“What I mean is to build a childcare center, to provide the Power of Faith necessary for the pregnancy of Demon Ability Users.”

Lu Zixun jumped up and smacked Ge Changming on the head, irritation tinting his voice, “What were you thinking?”

Seeing that he had misunderstood Lu Zixun’s intention, Ge Changming awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

Looking Ge Changming up and down, Lu Zixun’s mouth curved into a mysterious smile.

“Changming, you seem so nervous.

Could it be that you…

huh?”

As soon as Lu Zixun said this, Ge Changming became even more embarrassed, “Brother Xun, I’ve got things to do.

You should rest early.”

Ge Changming’s hasty escape made Lu Zixun laugh even harder.

This kid surely had someone he fancied, acting all like a thief in the night, which amused Lu Zixun to no end.

Lu Zixun swayed a few times on the soft chair, then took out his phone to contact Tang Tianyu.

“Lord Xun, what’s up?”

After connecting, Lu Zixun deduced from the background noise that Tang Tianyu must be in Zone 11.

“What’s the situation in Zone 11 now?

They’ve even initiated a lockdown,”

Lu Zixun, who had been lounging in a chair, chatted idly with Tang Tianyu for a while before he gained a clear understanding of the internal situation in Zone 11.

Unlike the previous situation with Zhenfei and Sha Fei, the ambition of the Three Prefectures seemed even greater.

They knew it was impossible to eradicate the Insect Clan by numbers alone, so they decided to focus on quality instead.

The idea seemed pretty good, but the methods they adopted were somewhat extreme.

“Since I can’t do any lockdown tasks now, I might as well stay at home with Xue Ning and keep my mom company.”

The camera turned, and Lu Zixun saw Bing Xue Ning making dumplings with Mrs.

Tang.

“When the lockdown is over, I’ll bring some dumplings for you, man.

My mom’s dumplings are damn delicious,”

Hearing Tang Tianyu’s words, a smile appeared on Lu Zixun’s face, “Okay, and bring me some of Auntie’s fish while you’re at it, I like that more.”

Just then, the phone was taken by Mrs.

Tang, who cheerfully looked at Lu Zixun’s cat face, “Xiao Xun, when are you coming over to play?”

“In a few days…”

After finishing the call with a smile, Lu Zixun gazed out the window and sighed softly.

…

The next morning, Xiong Kang called.

“Da Ju, the Guiding Light in Crimson Land is bringing people over at noon today, and your little sister could very likely be among this group of transients.”

At that, Lu Zixun sprang up from the bed in haste and said anxiously, “Why the hell didn’t you tell me sooner?

I’m heading to Zone 11 right now.”

“Wahaha!”

Hearing Lu Zixun’s tense tone, Xiong Kang laughed uproariously on the other end of the phone, “I’m just pulling your leg; they’re actually coming tomorrow.”

“Motherfu—”

His lips twitched twice.

Lu Zixun swore that if Xiong Kang were in front of him, he’d definitely pound him into a pig’s head!

Sensing that Lu Zixun was genuinely a bit angry, Xiong Kang cleared his throat lightly, “Just a little joke.

I’m heading back to Zone 13 in the afternoon.

The Demon Country’s been making some serious moves lately.”

Clearly, Xiong Kang was aware that the Demon Country had taken over Zone 14.

To this, Lu Zixun was not surprised and, rubbing his eyes, he said irritably, “Speak if you have something to say, fart if you have to.”

“Why so irritable?

Zone 14 isn’t so easy to capture.

Get the defenses ready,”

Xiong Kang chuckled lightly at the irritable Lu Zixun, “Just don’t let Zhenfei sneak an attack on your home, that would be uncomfortable.”

“Unless an I-Level Spiritual Ability User comes over, I’ll kill them,” he said blandly.

Lu Zixun then flopped back onto the bed and covered himself with the blanket, “Anything else?”

“Go back to sleep, that’s all you know how to do.

You must’ve been a pig in a past life since you’ve become an Orange Cat this time around,”

he muttered softly.

Xiong Kang quickly hung up before Lu Zixun could get angry, obviously not his first time pulling such a stunt.

Tossing the phone aside in annoyance, Lu Zixun couldn’t sleep anymore.

Damnit, this was too much; he had to beat Xiong Kang into a pig’s head this afternoon.

Since he was already awake, Lu Zixun simply got up.

He thought about recent events and then headed towards the hospital.

The pigeon that had been hunted down by the Three Prefectures and he had rescued last time should have woken up by now.

Perhaps he could learn something about the Three Prefectures from her, with Lin Siyin arriving tomorrow.
