1849 Isn’t That Even Better?
Sincerity was the best approach.
It seemed that Lu Siya was serious.
She had considered the entire problem thoroughly.
Seeing her earnest expression, Meng Chao seriously considered creating life with Lu Siya and passing down their genes.
“That’s right. Think about it carefully and get rid of your concerns. If you have any doubts, you can raise them and we can have a discussion.
Lu Siya struck while the iron was hot. “I guess you’re uninterested in the opposite sex, right?”
“That’s not true.”
Meng Chao said, “I’m physically and mentally normal. Oh, of course, I’m not saying that not liking the opposite sex is abnormal. I just mean that I’m someone who goes with the flow.
“However, before the monsters were destroyed, I couldn’t see the point of having a traditional home. I didn’t want to create more worry and pain in the face of an unpredictable and bleak future.
“It was a stupid and irresponsible idea. It was a crime against humanity.”
Lu Siya criticized, “Our ancestors have taught us that ‘there’s strength in numbers.’ It’s because the future is unpredictable and full of crises that we should reproduce more and strive to have children. With our excellent genes, we should have seven to eight, twenty to thirty, or even a hundred children so that they can evolve and become stronger than us. Even if most of them ultimately fail, some of them will be tempered thousands of times and be the best of the best. There’s a chance that they’ll survive the apocalypse and bring hope for a new civilization!
“You should know that since you went from being a weak middle school student to the top fighter in Dragon City today not only with your own efforts but also with the help of countless people, including me. In that sense, your seed doesn’t only belong to you. It’s also precious to all of mankind. How can you destroy such precious genes just because of a small psychological barrier?”
“You do have a point. I’ve been too caught up in a dead end. Of course, it has something to do with the fact that I’ve been too busy with training and battling in the past few years.”
Meng Chao was enlightened, and he readily accepted her advice. “I’ve been working hard, so I’ve never had time to think about my personal problems. Anyway, I was previously unequipped for this either. If I had more than a hundred children, I wouldn’t have had the time or cultivation resources to train them. What if I turned them into arrogant wastrels like those in the nine great corporations who can’t accomplish anything but cause trouble? What’s the point of that?
“But it’s all good now. I’ve reached the Deity Realm, and with the spirit magnet’s enhancement, my genes are unprecedentedly powerful. Also, Superstar Company has developed to such a high level that it can provide me with sufficient training resources. I have more time and a more mature attitude, so I can teach my children wholeheartedly. You can say that everything is ready!
“Whether it’s for general, personal, emotional, or practical reasons, I should seriously consider the issue of reproduction from all aspects.”
“That’s good. I was going to say that if you weren’t interested in the opposite sex, we could resort to technical means. It looks like I was just overthinking it.”
Lu Siya continued, “Let me confirm again—you don’t have a problem with me, do you?”
Meng Chao thought about it seriously and shook his head to confirm. “I have no problem with the ‘real Lu Siya.’ I think that should’ve been apparent to you when we were training together.
“There’s the process of getting to know each other, but that isn’t a problem.
“We’re in an era of war now. Countless people die every day. The dead are already gone, but the living have to move forward and live happily.
“Besides, your concern is the same as mine. Like you, I don’t have the time to get to know another member of the opposite sex and start a traditional, inefficient, and extravagant relationship.
“As the saying goes, ‘it’s better to be with someone familiar than to be with a stranger.’ Regarding the matter of passing down my genes, you are indeed my first choice.”
“I understand.”
Lu Siya was not surprised in the slightest. She nodded and said, “So, the question is whether I am truly Lu Siya or not.”
“That’s right.”
Meng Chao sighed and said, “When it comes to a major issue that concerns the continuation of human civilization, it’s very difficult for us to give you the benefit of the doubt.
“What if the monster mastermind’s will is still lurking in the depths of your soul? What if you’re still a wild banshee and not the Lu Siya that I know? What if all of this is a scheme by the monster mastermind? What if this is its way of reviving itself so that it can inherit Superstar Company and Sky Pillar Corporation without any obstacle? What if it has the ability to control the entire Dragon City civilization and turn defeat into victory?
“Of course, you just said that people change all the time. Today, I’m not the same as I was yesterday, and tomorrow, I’ll become unrecognizable. The monster mastermind might not be the biggest threat to Dragon City’s civilization. Perhaps, deep down, humans are wired to self-destruct.
“I have to admit that your words have partially convinced me.
“Besides, Dragon City is in an unprecedented state of chaos. I don’t think it’s a good time to bring up old scores and the issue of monsters.
“So, I’ve decided to push the issue to the back of my mind for the time being. I won’t bother guessing whether you’re a wild banshee or not, at least for today.
“You want me to make a prompt decision…
“But I don’t know if I’ll make the wrong decision in a moment of rashness.”
“What do you mean by ‘wrong decision?'” Lu Siya asked.
Meng Chao said, “A wild banshee who disguises herself as Lu Siya can use flowery words to confuse me and give birth to a group of half-human, half-beast children.”
“Isn’t that better?” Lu Siya shrugged.
“What do you mean by ‘better?'” Meng Chao was stunned.
“Based on your micro-expressions, you probably believe Su Mulian. Assuming that her dreams of the apocalypse are real, let me ask you, do you think all humans will survive such an end? There’s an 80% to 90% chance that people won’t be able to make it, right?” Lu Siya said.
“If the civilizations of mankind and the monsters are deeply integrated and the genetic advantages of both sides are maximized to create life, this new life form will surpass both humans and monsters. With this as a foundation, a new civilization will be built. Perhaps this is the only way we can stop the apocalypse. At least, we might have a fighting chance against this apocalypse that will destroy the entire ecosystem.
“So, whether I’m a wild banshee or not, you should create life with me and pass down our genes.
“Or rather, you should create life with me and pass down our genes even if I’m a wild banshee!”
