"But as I journeyed on the path of evolution, I never t the man I loved."
Ren Mian looked at Ji Xinghuo as she said this.
"Until I t you!"
"Hehe..." Ji Xinghuo smiled proudly, "That ans we’re fated. You’ve waited so many years just for to appear."
"Vain." Ren Mian pursed her lips in a smile yet did not retort.
In the midst of their joking, the sadness in her heart diluted, joy restored, she said, "The ti half a year ago was the happiest period of my life, with no need to think about other things, every day imrsed in happiness and pleasure, being with the person I love, doing whatever we wanted—it brought back mories of my childhood, which is why the idea ca to ..."
Ji Xinghuo had already guessed it.
Ren Mian did not hide it, her beautiful eyes fixated on Ji Xinghuo’s, "Xinghuo, I got pregnant on purpose."
"Ah?" Even though Ji Xinghuo had anticipated it, he was still taken aback when she confessed, "Didn’t we take precautions?"
"Not every ti." Ren Mian chuckled, "And as a Plant Witch, there are many similarities between nurturing plants and bearing children. I have myriad ways to conceive your child without you noticing."
Ji Xinghuo fell silent.
Ren Mian felt a bit uneasy, "You aren’t blaming , are you?"
"Of course not." Ji Xinghuo bead, "It just ans you’ll have to work hard." There was no use saying anything at this point, blaming Ren would only make her unhappy.
"That’s good."
Ren Mian gently stroked her belly, her eyes brimming with anticipation.
Ji Xinghuo asked, "Ren, you’ll be giving birth in three months. Are you planning to go back to Earth, or will you give birth in the Star Realm?"
This was related to his own plans for visiting the True Dragon Dynasty.
"Of course, back to Earth." Ren Mian had thought it through, "You have your responsibilities; I don’t want to tie you down. I’ll go back to Earth to have the baby so we can register for a legal identity and sort out educational issues. You don’t need to worry about any of this; I can handle it myself."
Ji Xinghuo scratched his head: "But..."
"Don’t worry, I won’t go to Zhao Manying and expose our relationship," Ren Mian saw through his thoughts in a glance.
"That’s not what I ant."
Ji Xinghuo felt very guilty, "Didn’t you say you wanted to build a complete ho? If I’m not involved, you’ll be a single mother."
"A single mother can take good care of the family too. I’m no ordinary person; this won’t be difficult for ." Ren Mian huffed, "Since you’re so concerned, why not take up the role of a father?"
"Uh..."
Ji Xinghuo opened his mouth but didn’t dare to commit.
"Humph." Ren Mian scoffed but did not dwell on it, softly saying, "Because of the special thods I used, our physiques are different from ordinary people, especially mine, having rged with plant protoplast. Our child will be born with exceptional talent, destined to be extraordinary, but will require a longer gestation period."
"No wonder..."
Ji Xinghuo’s face displayed a dawning realization. Ren’s belly didn’t look like she was seven months pregnant, more like three or four months.
He asked curiously, "How long do you need to carry them?"
"Between 28 to 30 months," Ren Mian replied, "I can’t be sure; I’ll find a way to inform you before they are born."
"They?"
Ji Xinghuo caught the keyword.
"I have three children in my belly, two boys and one girl," Ren Mian smiled, "The number and sex were specifically chosen by . One-shot deal; I don’t want to go through another two to three years of pregnancy afterward. That would be too troubleso."
Ji Xinghuo was dumbstruck.
This was too intense—so young and suddenly expecting triplets.
He really didn’t know what to say. The fact that she could even control conceiving triplets left him to exclaim, "It must be tough for you, Ren."
"It’s my choice, and I’ll bear the consequences," Ren Mian’s expression was very relaxed, "Don’t worry about . I am a Super Mutant, after all. Having evolved so many tis, I’m far from ordinary. There’s no danger in giving birth, and it won’t even hinder my rise to Legendary."
Ji Xinghuo nodded.
Ren didn’t look like she was hindered in movent; her clothes concealed it well enough that others wouldn’t notice she was pregnant.
"When will you evolve to Legendary, Ren?" Ji Xinghuo asked.
"Probably in about a year."
As Ren Mian spoke, she sensed that Ji Xinghuo seed to have sothing else he wanted to ask but hadn’t. "If you have sothing to say, just say it."
"Alright," Ji Xinghuo no longer hesitated, "During my return to Earth this ti, I t with the Leader. He brought into a circle; it is the nation’s highest power center, with each mber possessing superior talents and strength. There are just over thirty people in total."
He paused for a mont, "Sister Ren, you should know about it, right?"
Actually, Ji Xinghuo had long suspected.
Initially, Sister Ren handed him a letter to be delivered to the Sword Bureau’s Deputy Director Zhou Yishang, which completely changed Zhou Yishang’s attitude toward him, reversing his unfavorable situation in the Sword Bureau.
Later, when thinking back on that letter, there were too many questions.
After entering the circle, Ji Xinghuo received a list from Li Hui. At the center was the Leader, followed by the other thirty-plus people.
Among those nas, one caught his attention; he suspected that person was Sister Ren.
Ren Mian was just a false na.
As Ji Xinghuo spoke halfway, Ren Mian’s face slightly changed, and, indeed, she nodded in response, "I know."
"Sister Ren, are you Ye Zhen?" Ji Xinghuo pressed on.
"What do you think?"
Ren Mian countered casually, her deanor composed.
"Sister Ren, you are Ye Zhen!"
Ji Xinghuo’s tone beca certain, "Besides you, I can’t think of anyone else on Earth who could possibly be Sister Ren’s true identity."
The na Ye Zhen was sowhat unfamiliar to Ji Xinghuo’s generation.
But there were countless rumors about her on the internet, mostly from the older generation and those over fifty years old, discussing Ye Zhen’s beauty the most; she was revered as the first global goddess!
With her innate talent and unmatched beauty, she drove countless people crazy, and suitors were as nurous as fish crossing the river.
Zhao Manying was the second generation.
However, by the ti Ji Xinghuo learned to use the internet, Ye Zhen’s videos and photographs were no longer available online.
She retracted her authorization, set privacy, and completely disappeared after withdrawing from the internet.
Yet on the Heavenly King List, as well as on the renad Global Battle Power List, Ye Zhen’s ranking has always been present; she is one of the thirteen Heavenly Kings from the Asia-Pacific Community, ranked 30th, right before Ji Xinghuo.
Although Ye Zhen no longer appears in public, much of her information was left behind and could be accessed.
Ye Zhen’s profession was a Plant Witch, born in 2161, a first-generation public child.
All these matched Ren Mian’s information.
The most important was that Ji Xinghuo saw Ye Zhen’s na on the list. Talent, strength, age, beauty - these factors combined, he couldn’t see any other possibilities. That letter was also crucial.
However, Ye Zhen was a Heavenly King, whereas Ren Mian was only a Super Mutant.
Which is why Ji Xinghuo couldn’t be completely certain.
"I thought you would have guessed long ago. Caiyi was clear about my identity the year before last, while you only now ask, which surprises ," Ren Mian said leisurely.
"Snooping on other people’s secrets is not a good thing." Ji Xinghuo couldn’t restrain his curiosity and asked softly, "Sister Ren, aren’t you a Heavenly King? Why were you only an Advanced Mutant when I first t you?"
Ren Mian did not hide the truth and explained, "Five years ago, I fused with an Alien Species called ’Reincarnation,’ which caused to lose all my Abilities except for Reincarnation, turning into a Primary Level Mutant and making walk the path of Evolution again."
"What’s so good about Reincarnation?" Ji Xinghuo was very surprised.
"It allows to stay young forever, never age, and my lifespan is more than ten tis that of other Mutants of the sa rank, easily living for several thousand years."
"Thousands of years!" Ji Xinghuo exclaid in shock.
Sister Ren had previously revealed to him that she had fused with a special Alien Species that kept her perpetually young, but she didn’t ntion having a lifespan of several thousand years.
And that wasn’t all.
Ren Mian gave a calm smile, "Though Reincarnation causes the loss of other Abilities, it retains the number of Fusion Tis. After Reincarnation, previous expansion treasures can no longer be used, but each ti I evolve, I still get a new opportunity to fuse."
Ji Xinghuo was left speechless by the shock.
Sister Ren was previously a Heavenly King, and it takes six Evolutions to go from Primary Level Mutant to Heavenly King, which ans, for her, one Reincarnation is equivalent to obtaining six expansion treasures.
After reaching Heavenly King a second ti, if she were to Reincarnate again, the Fusion Tis would increase by six more!
"This is too exaggerated!"
Ji Xinghuo let out a deep breath, "What Level is the Reincarnation Alien Species?"
"Of course, it’s a Solar Eclipse." Ren Mian smiled in reply.
