Forced to live as "worms"

Until he was fooled by Yue Chen to board the No Country and had a comprehensive physical examination at Tynold, He Jing firmly believed in the tampered diagnostic manual. No more cubs, and while it was initially difficult to come to terms with that fact, he accepted his "insufficiency" after that slump and let go of the fact that he would not have offspring.

The more you lose something, the more you will pay attention to it.

In the past, He Jing didn't like the cub at first. He himself was not an adult at that time, and he was a large cub with only a body. But in the later period of reflection, he would often think of Mu Nan's The eggs that didn't survive, and the little worms that he himself would never come.

In the dark streets on every planet, besides the tramps who live their days, there are also many vagrant orphans in ragged clothes. Not every planet has a complete shelter and system. Those who have lost their parents , and the little ones who can't get shelter from other places can only linger in these dilapidated and remote corners, struggling to survive in the cracks of the city.

When He Jing traveled to various planets, he met many orphans wandering in the dark streets.

Most of them wore ill-fitting clothes, avoiding adult homeless people who were much taller and burlier than them. After the adults had inspected the piles of supplies, they sneaked over and searched for the leftovers that could be provided in the already rummaged garbage. something they survive.

For orphans who lack a source of livelihood and are unable to work, the garbage dump is their material pile.

In order to compete for the limited remaining living materials, these homeless children often fight among themselves.

With the excellent appearance and natural excellent voice as he gradually lost weight, He Jing seldom worried about daily expenses in the days when he was walking around and looking around. At the beginning of that period, after mastering a survival skill, he quickly developed this skill and relied on it to earn enough sources of life for himself.

But even if the income level has reached the point where he no longer needs to live in the black street, He Jing will still go to the local black street every time he arrives at a new planet.

It's like pouring the guilt for the unborn younger brother and the regret for not being able to have offspring on those little guys, He Jing did his best to help those children who lost their family protection prematurely.

Most homeless orphans have lived a rough life, and cheating and bullying are commonplace.Even if they received genuine kindness this time, they will put up their defenses high and look at you vigilantly for a long time before approaching slowly and cautiously.

At the slightest disturbance, the little bit of trust that has just been established will be like quicksand held at the fingertips, and it will be quickly drained away.

The gentleness and patience He Jing later praised by others was largely influenced by his dealings with these orphans.

Rao later found out that his body was very healthy and there was nothing abnormal, but because he knew very well that the fertility rate of the combination of higher Zerg and other races was extremely low, He Jing didn't have much expectations for the offspring.

"It doesn't matter if you can't give birth to a cub." Under Yue Chen's gaze, He Jing clenched the other's hand, and he rubbed his little Xing Xing's hair with his free hand, "We can go to the shelter Adopt a few little ones to go home."

"Of course." Hearing the comforting tone from the male worm's tone, Yuechen couldn't help but leaned forward and asked for a kiss. After the kiss, he licked his lips unsatisfied, "The adopted little one must, We have our own too."

Seeing the tone of the prospective partner when he said "our own", thinking of the recent discussions on the public Internet about increasing the fertility rate of interracial unions, He Jing guessed that his little star had really started research on increasing the fertility rate.

"Did I never tell you about the way our family was conceived?" Yue Chen's smile was a bit mysterious, he turned over behind He Jing's head, lay down on the big bed, and put his chin on He Jing's legs superior.

In fact, on the night when he was preparing to establish the link, Yuechen planned to tell He Jing the secret of the Herder clan's birth, but unexpected events interrupted the original plan.At this moment, he could finally finish what he couldn't say at that time.

Yue Chen said, "Our family can have offspring with any race, and reproductive isolation is invalid for us."

He Jing was startled when he heard this.

The innate spatial ability is already miraculous enough, and it can even invalidate reproductive isolation in the matter of reproduction. He Jing couldn't help but want to touch Yuechen's lower abdomen.

As far as he knows, his little star should be a male in every sense, and neither he nor the other party has the necessary organs for pregnancy such as the gestational cavity.

As if he had guessed what He Jing was thinking, Yue Chen turned around and came back, he took the initiative to lift up the hem of his clothes, and showed his body with well-defined abdominal muscles to the male worm, "Do you want to touch it?"

Without waiting for He Jing's answer, Yue Chen took the hand they were still holding, and pressed He Jing's hand on his belly.

Yue Chen dragged He Jing's hand around his body.

"There's no gestation cavity down here."

"Ah."

"There's no milk here either."

"……Um."

"But you can play with it when it's swollen."

"..."

He Jing glanced at his hand that was forced to stop at a certain position, and then at his little Xingxing who was smiling with ulterior motives.

Yuechen, who unconsciously began to take off the topic, bowed his head obediently, "I was wrong."

With a serious look on his face, Yuechen brought the topic of almost entering the indescribable class back to the right track, and continued to talk about the unique reproduction method of the Herders.

"Our family is divided into the chosen ones and the extended ones. The chosen ones are just like me and Tainod Syl. We were born on the mother planet and are a complete Herder nation. The extended ones refer to The descendants of the chosen ones who left their home planet and combined with other races outside, the extenders' innate abilities are mostly not as outstanding as the chosen ones, but the part of the genes they carry that belong to the foreign races will allow them to have the genes of the foreign races at the same time. Innate ability." Yue Chen explained the classification of Herder people, he stopped after finishing this part, and left time for He Jing to digest the information.

He Jing quickly digested the information, and he remembered a question he had thought about before, just like Yue Chen never took the initiative to ask He Jing's family in the past, He Jing also respected Yue Chen, and rarely asked the other party's parents.But under the current circumstances, it seems very appropriate to raise this issue.

Yuechen readily answered the question of the sweetheart, "All the chosen ones are born in the same way, and our conceived ones are the tree of life on the mother planet."

"The... tree of life?" He Jing repeated the name of Yuechen's conceiver with some uncertainty.

Yuechen happily replied, "That's right, all the chosen ones on the No Country are the same batch of mature life fruits on the tree of life, like Tenold and Syl who are close to me. Fruits that grow on the same branch, so they have played together since birth, even if they have different personalities, they get along very well."

He Jing, "..."

The vastness of the universe is that just when you think you have enough knowledge, it may open a new door for you at any time, making you realize how little your original knowledge was.

The male felt he needed a break.

"The tree of life is taken care of by the tree elders that accompany the tree. There are ten tree elders in total. They are responsible for looking after the tree of life and the new chosen ones born every quarter. No one knows how old they are, and how old they are. Before leaving the home planet, we are often curious about their age, but the tree elders seem to be unable to remember how old they are. Their energy source is directly connected to the tree of life, as long as the tree of life is still alive One day, they will survive together with the tree of life, endlessly."

Yue Chen's words solved another mystery that once puzzled He Jing: If every Herder tribe would leave their home planet when they reached adulthood, then how would those newborn cubs on Held's planet be? Where did it come from?

Thinking of the appearance of the ten elders waiting by the tree of life day after day, even though he had never seen that scene before, He Jing felt a little lonely for no reason.

Lonely and great.

"I have traveled in various universes all my life, I can't go back to my hometown, and I have been waiting in my hometown all my life, witnessing generation after generation of people to go on a long journey." Yuechen said that he did not go on here, and he rarely looked away from He Jing moved away and stared at the ceiling for a moment.

He Jing's hand that was originally held by Yue Chen was still intertwined with Yue Chen, he tightened his fingers, and Yue Chen, who felt his movement, looked back from the ceiling and rubbed his head sideways towards him.

"Speaking of which, because I am the one with the strongest innate ability in this generation, the fruit was the biggest when I was about to mature. On the day I was born, the eighth elder was observing my development under the tree. He was calculating Seeing that I should be about to leave the tree of life, I was hit in the head by me who fell suddenly." Yue Chen changed the topic to a lighter one, and he talked about his embarrassing things when he was young.

The atmosphere was much more relaxed under Yue Chen's interruption.

"You haven't come to the most important point, how the extender is born." He Jing reminded his little star.

Obviously, what He Jing mentioned was a topic that Yue Chen was very happy to talk about, and Yue Chen really felt happy again, and he asked He Jing if he still remembered the little tree on the ship.

He Jing followed Yue Chen's words and recalled, "The one on the bridge?"

"Yes." Yuechen nodded, "That's part of the tree of life. Before each traveling team leaves, they will receive a branch of the tree of life and a small amount of soil in the land of life from the elders of the tree. Life After careful nurturing, the branches of the tree of life will grow into a new tree of life, but it can only be used by the chosen ones who have left the parent planet to breed extenders. The new chosen ones will only grow in the main tree of the parent star was born."

"……I see."

I always thought it was just an ordinary landscape plant.

He Jing added in his heart.

"When the life-long link is successfully established, you will share the original energy in my body. When the energy of the same source but different bodies pours into a branch of the tree of life at the same time, the tree of life will respond to the energy from both partners. The energy reacts, and the branch that has absorbed enough energy will enter the state of preparation for cultivation, as long as we take good care of it in the next few months, we will be able to harvest our fruit in eight months." Yue Chen was full of enthusiasm. The introduction of the method of reproduction.

He Jing tried to imagine that one day in the future, he and Yue Chen would take good care of a tree, and then a big fruit would fall from the tree, and after the fruit cracked, a cub would crawl out of it...

……

……

The male worm, who was under the impact of the new reproductive method of the alien race, felt that he really needed to take a break.
