The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 273: Only With Source Destruction Can Parallel Worlds Be Changed
The birth rate of humans is very low, because impurities in energy stones affect the human physique, making pregnancy difficult.
But the Insect Race is different.
The Insect Race is famous in the universe for its fertility, with a very high birth rate.
Aside from the adversarial relationship, people from the Federation actually envy the birth rate of the Insect Race.
Unfortunately, pregnancy is extremely difficult within the Federation.
Su Ruan is very clear about this, so in her relationship with Lu Shinian, the two did not take any precautions.
In fact, few couples in the Federation take precautions.
Newborns are very rare, and if a wife becomes pregnant, it’s not excessive for the husband to boast for a year, and he would be envied by many.
Youngsters are extremely precious, and the laws of the Federation concerning youngsters and teenagers outnumber all other laws by thousands.
Because of this, incidents of harming youngsters are rare in the Federation.
Back to the topic, due to the difficulty in getting pregnant, Su Ruan never worried about becoming pregnant, which felt to her like a distant matter.
But the problem now is that she has the genes of the Insect Race.
Could she also have inherited the Insect Race’s ease of pregnancy?
Su Ruan looked down at her flat little belly, feeling a bit lost for a moment.
Aiers saw her perplexed expression and thought she was worried about giving birth, so he comforted her: "Don’t worry, youngster, it’s easy for us Insect Race to have kids."
"You just sleep and then they’re born."
"There’s no pain at all."
Su Ruan: ...
While it’s comforting, it still feels somehow strange?
She withdrew her gaze, looked at Aiers, and said: "It’s still uncertain, only time will tell."
Aiers nodded, proactively walking toward Su Ruan, and asked: "So are you going back, youngster?"
"Where’s Lu Shinian? Why isn’t he beside you?"
"He went to work at the Military Department," Su Ruan said, and started walking toward Lu Villa.
Aiers naturally followed in Su Ruan’s footsteps.
Su Ruan invited Aiers to sit in the living room for a while, and the two of them chatted.
Primarily, Su Ruan was asking Aiers about matters concerning the Insect Race.
Aiers did not hide anything from her, whatever she asked, if she knew, she told her.
However, when Su Ruan inquired about information concerning the "King," Aiers had no knowledge, just using a matter-of-fact tone to say: "The King is the King."
This seemed like a fact engraved in her mind, not requiring any basic logic for support.
Fortunately, Su Ruan also knew that the Insect Race is different from humans, and their actions do not need to be purposeful like humans, so after a few related questions went unanswered, she changed the subject and asked about other things.
For several days in a row, Aiers would come to chat with Su Ruan, even bringing high-level energy stones for her to eat.
Although Su Ruan always refused them.
Her teeth couldn’t possibly dent those energy stones.
Whenever this happened, Aiers would look at Su Ruan with a concerned expression akin to "how can you get by without eating," making Su Ruan feel somewhat helpless.
Although she’s explained many times that humans don’t eat energy stones, Aiers seems not to understand, leading her to say she’s simply not hungry.
Every few days, Su Ruan would visit Da Hu for a round of therapy.
Da Hu’s condition has increasingly improved, and now every day he can exchange ten sentences with Qi Chen.
Maybe one day Da Hu will return to human form.
It’s something they’re all eagerly anticipating.
The past few days have been quite fulfilling, but she doesn’t know whether it’s just her illusion, as she often feels Lu Shinian’s complexion has worsened over these days.
Yet, whenever she asks, Lu Shinian always says he is fine, just tired from work lately.
Thinking about the workload of the Third Legion, Su Ruan understands.
And now that Your Majesty has returned, seemingly determined to have Lu Shinian take over his position, he’s been summoning Lu Shinian every few days.
Lu Shinian often spends a whole day at the Imperial Palace, leaving the paperwork from the Third Legion piling up, waiting for him to work on after coming back in the evening.
Seeing him so tired, Su Ruan, during her break, purified two Level 5 energy stones for him to carry.
Lu Shinian accepted Su Ruan’s kindness and put the pure energy stones away.
His gaze upon Su Ruan was somewhat complicated.
Over these past days, for some reason, he’s been having the same recurrent dream.
In the dream, an incredibly beautiful man is constantly saying something, while he sits on a high throne, cold and manic, as if a strong emotion has been suppressed until the man says something, causing the emotion to suddenly explode.
It’s always a flash of light akin to daylight that gleams and then he wakes up from the dream.
Several days of recurring nightmares have left Lu Shinian’s complexion somewhat gloomy, but he hasn’t told Su Ruan about it.
Having a worsened complexion over a nightmare is simply too embarrassing.
It’s just a dream after all, not worth taking seriously.
Until one night, Su Ruan clung to Lu Shinian for a while for mental fusion.
Feeling comfortable, Su Ruan fell asleep, and Lu Shinian also cuddled her and drifted off.
Unexpectedly, Lu Shinian dreamed again.
But this dream was different from the ones in the past few days where he couldn’t hear what the man was saying.
Other than the very first time when he heard the man say a few words, the last few times he couldn’t hear clearly what the other side was saying.
But today, he heard clearly.
In the dream, he was still sitting on the high throne, the man’s hands hung by his sides, skin so white it seemed translucent.
Those light brown eyes held a hint of indifference, but Lu Shinian could sense the ambition in his eyes, the ambition for his throne, blatant, unhidden ambition.
He was still unable to control his body in the dream, sitting on that throne with his left hand holding a mysterious little sphere.
The man stared at him, the corners of his mouth turned slightly upward.
"I can bring her back."
Lu Shinian could feel the blood boiling in his dream-self, shortly afterward, he heard himself ask.
"Who?"
Then the man spoke again.
"Su Ruan."
Lu Shinian’s pupils shrank, but he couldn’t help but think this dream is absolutely absurd.
Resurrect Ruan Ruan? His Ruan Ruan is obviously cozy in his embrace, how can there be such a thing as resurrection?
Surely it’s just a baseless nightmare, hardly logical.
But in the next second, he heard the dream-self say: "How?"
"I have a power." The man’s androgynous voice resounded in the dream, "Time Space Reversal."
Lu Shinian saw the man lift his eyes to look directly at him, a strange hint of evil coloring his voice, "But the cost is, this timeline’s destruction."
"Only by destroying the origin timeline can parallel timelines be altered."
