Chapter 166: Herta is Outside the Door?
Kenji and Ruan i were tidying up the laboratory. Having personally witnessed such an interesting event, Ruan i now held great expectations for the Swarm Empress.
"Kenji, I never expected your power to be so magical, to be able to make the Swarm King tamorphose so beautifully," Ruan i said, her eyes burning with intensity as she looked at him. For a genius in the field of biological science like her, the beauty she pursued was genetic beauty; physical appearance was only secondary. If the Swarm Empress hadn’t been on her way to retrieve the Aeon’s divine body, she really would have wanted to study her thoroughly.
Kenji just smiled faintly. He had used the power of creation, which had also made the Swarm Empress’s foundation extrely terrifying. There was a high probability she would beco a new Aeon.
"Kenji, I’m very curious... if you and I had a child, would it inherit this power of yours?" Ruan i’s red lips moved close to Kenji’s ear, her breath like an orchid.
Kenji thought for a mont. His current life level had already far surpassed that of an ordinary person, and Ruan i was no ordinary person either. A child of the two of them would certainly have extrely high talent. But even for ordinary people, the probability of hitting the mark on the first try was very low, let alone for them.
"Shall we give it a try?"
Ruan i’s voice was gentle and soft. If you looked closely, you could see a pink light flowing in the depths of her eyes.
"Alright...?"
Kenji responded subconsciously. It was a physical instinct.
Wait, sothing’s not right.
Hah, hah—
Kenji felt the desire in his body surge. Looking at Ruan i, his breathing beca heavy.
"It’s the pheromones..." a flash of insight struck Ruan i’s mind.
Kenji understood as well. It was that strange fragrance from before. He hadn’t felt anything special at the ti because the effect wasn’t imdiate.
Propagation, propagation... and these were the pheromones emitted by the Swarm Empress. Both of them had been distracted by her, and since the pheromones weren’t a harmful poison and caused no harm to the body, they hadn’t triggered their bodies’ natural alarm systems.
Ruan i’s flushed, pretty face was enough to make one’s blood boil. A captivating, plum-blossom-like fragrance wafted from her body, tugging at Kenji’s nerves and rationality.
Sister, you sll so good right now.
Kenji felt his desire constantly expanding, a fire burning in his eyes. He held back no longer, lowering his head and kissing Ruan i’s delicate red lips, embracing her soft, boneless body.
"Mmph..."
Ruan i’s eyes widened, the rationality of a genius disappearing.
Riiiip—
"Wait! Herta might co in!"
Ruan i felt a chill as her qipao was torn to shreds. The last shred of her rationality told her they couldn’t do it here.
With a wave of Kenji’s hand, an energy barrier enveloped the room. The battle of the Path of Propagation had begun.
"Gently..."
"Hiss..."
A soft gasp, mixed with a hint of pain, echoed in the room.
(10,000 words omitted here)
After the battle, the scent of pheromones in the room was incredibly thick.
Kenji put on his pants and entered a state of sage-like clarity. He hadn’t expected his first ti to be with Ruan i in a laboratory. How stimulating. The power of the Path of Propagation was truly about propagation. It caused no harm to the body but would arouse a creature’s most primitive desires. The Swarm Empress probably hadn’t expected that the pheromones she had unintentionally leaked would affect both of them. In fact, if they had known beforehand, both of them could have found ways to avoid it.
At this mont, in space, the Swarm Empress sat on a True Sting Bug, heading for the Xianzhou.
"My Lord and My Lady should have gotten together!" the Swarm Empress murmured to herself. Although she hadn’t released the pheromones on purpose, she knew they were there but hadn’t told them. Her assist should have been successful.
Elysia: Uh-huh, you keep talking ♪♪♪
"What? Still savoring the mont?"
Ruan i had changed into a pure white silk robe; her previous qipao had been torn to pieces. A faint smile graced her radiant, pretty face, as gentle as water.
Kenji was taken aback. The current Ruan i had lost her usual coldness and felt more... real.
"And you?" Kenji asked. He felt great right now, completely refreshed.
"Not bad. This kind of... propagation... was a first for ," Ruan i said calmly. She touched her flat stomach, wondering if she could get pregnant. He had poured so much into her; there should be a chance.
"I should be your first woman, right?" Ruan i asked nonchalantly. She knew she didn’t have that worldly kind of love for Kenji. She also knew that Kenji was just lusting after her body.
Kenji nodded. They had had no emotional foundation before, yet they had gone straight to a ho run.
"If we have a child, don’t you dare do anything... that would be too cold-blooded," Kenji said.
"I won’t. If we really do, I will try to give him or her the love of a ho," Ruan i promised seriously. In her childhood, her "scientist" mother had given her her first enlightennt. Although her family mbers were all devoted to science, her life was inseparable from love. Her father and mother loved each other but often argued. She often made mistakes and was often forgiven. (This is from Ruan i’s character story.) So if she really did have a child, she would give that sa love to her child.
"Are you Ruan i?"
Kenji blinked. This was a little different from what he knew. Was this still that indifferent Ruan i?
"Then who do you think I am?"
Ruan i was a little speechless. They already knew each other’s depths and lengths, yet he was asking this kind of question. It was quite offensive.
"I know you’re Ruan i. It’s just a little surprising that you would say sothing like that," Kenji smiled.
"It doesn’t matter. Ti has never been a constraint for you or . We have more ti to get to know each other."
"Perhaps, one day in the future, I will fall in love with you."
Kenji’s mouth opened slightly. Is this right? But he was also looking forward to it.
Ruan i took small bites of a fresh pastry, enjoying the dopamine reaction.
"Want so?"
"There’s no reverse-truth serum in this, is there?" Kenji thought of Hoshi, who had trusted Ruan i too much, eaten it without hesitation, and fallen into the trap.
"I don’t think a reverse-truth serum would work on you."
Ruan i held the pastry to Kenji’s lips. Kenji had a "weak stomach" and accepted the feeding from Ruan i. It had to be said, the pastries Ruan i made were delicious.
Ruan i pulled her finger from Kenji’s mouth and shook her head helplessly.
[Ruan i, open up! It’s the Genius Club!]
...
...
[Ruan i, are you still alive? Squeak if you’re there!]
Ruan i saw the ssages. Herta had sent several. The earliest one was from around the ti her qipao had been torn.
"..."
In other words, from that mont on, Herta had probably been right outside. Because of the protective barrier Kenji had set up, Herta hadn’t forced her way in.
Her best friend was right outside, while she was inside doing that. A strange sense of excitent surged through her, sothing she had never experienced before.
Ruan i covered her forehead and said to Kenji, "Kenji, you can take down the barrier now."
Kenji nodded. With a casual wave of his hand, the energy barrier dissipated into the air. Besides preventing others from coming in, it was also to prevent Aha from peeking. That guy would definitely have sensed the birth of the Swarm Empress.
