Chapter 140 About He Zhining
The waiter brought the coffee to Xiaozhen's table.
"Thank you." He Zhining once again showed the smile that could explode the hearts of millions of human girls.
Xiao Zhen drank the tea in front of him with a stiff face. At this moment, his heart was beating like a gong and beating like a river and a sea.
Pregnancy Pregnancy Pregnancy Pregnancy Pregnancy...
Of course he knew what the term meant, but the shock of hearing this handsome Homo sapiens man say "I'm pregnant" with a loving expression was no less than a nuclear bomb in the face to Xiao Zhen.
Xiao Zhen put the teacup on the table, "Pregnant?"
"Yes, I'm pregnant."
"Whose child?"
"It's An Keke and me."
"Homo sapiens males cannot get pregnant."
"I thought you had enough knowledge about the racial diversity of aliens."
"Of course I know there are male pregnant races in the interstellar space. But you are a Homo sapiens, right? The characteristic of Homo sapiens is that only women can give birth to children." Xiao Zhen frowned. He was sure that the handsome man in front of him did not use any optical filters, and his physiological characteristics were also normal. At least he looked like a Homo sapiens, and a male.
"Well, although I can indeed be called a Homo sapiens now, my race is quite special. I am a Leopard."
"Lapis people?" Mr. Cat looked at him. "No wonder."
"What's wrong with this race?" Xiao Zhen turned to ask Mr. Cat. This race was in his blind spot of knowledge.
"An intelligent race on the verge of extinction. It's normal that you haven't heard of them." Mr. Cat said, "There are very few Lepas left now."
"So, they are a race where men can have children?"
"You can't say they are men. They can conceive and give birth to children regardless of gender. It's probably because their numbers are so small that it's an instinct for reproduction that has evolved."
He Zhining smiled and said, "In fact, gender distinctions such as male or female are meaningless to us."
"But you appear to be a male human."
"This is the trait I was born with, from my previous generation. Simply put, our genes determine the traits we are born with, but this is not a trait of our race, it just represents the 'paternal' genes of a different race in my body."
Xiaozhen blinked.
Looking at his confused expression, He Zhining smiled again, and raised his beautiful eyebrows slightly, which again caused a burst of cheers from the surrounding female fans.
Mr. Cat said, "I think I understand. The Lepas race is a formless race. You mean that your current Homo sapiens traits come from the hybridization of the previous generation?"
"Yes. Our race needs to absorb genes from other races to reproduce, and the genes from other races determine our appearance. We have no distinction between men and women. As long as we find a foreign race partner that we like and absorb his/her genes, we can reproduce. And our next generation will of course still be the Lepas."
"I see." Xiao Zhen stroked his chin, "I understand. That is to say, when your race intermarries with other races, all your offspring are Lepas, but their appearance and physical characteristics have inherited those of the other races."
"right."
"In other words, if you were looking for the Su Nonglin tree instead of An Keke, then a tree would also grow, right?"
"Who is Su Nonglin?"
"A walking tree, your local interstellar courier."
"Oh, it's him. I'm not interested in the Legion's people."
"I didn't ask if you were interested in him. I was just giving an example."
"Yes, if I fall in love with an Elt, then after the mating ritual of the hearts and minds, I will also become pregnant and give birth to a Lepas that looks like a cat."
“That sounds really bad!”
"Well, my dear cousin, my love for An Keke comes from the bottom of my heart. I will not change my target and fall in love with the Elt people around you!"
"No one asked if you were interested in the cat! And I'm not even your cousin!"
"Oh, don't worry, I won't mess around with anything that looks like a human male," said Mr. Cat.
"You shut up too!"
He Zhining smiled with curved eyebrows, raised his hand and stirred the coffee cup with a spoon. His fingers were slender and white. Xiao Zhen looked at his hands for a long time, but could not find any place beyond human. His appearance was impeccable, his temperament was intoxicating, and his speech was polite. Xiao Zhen suspected that even if most of the local humans knew that he was a strange alien, they would fall in love with him inadvertently and sink into it.
Xiao Zhen sent a brainwave to Mr. Cat, (What do you think?)
(Didn’t you use your consciousness to investigate just now?)
(After investigating, I can feel that his subconscious mind is indeed in love with cousin Coco. This one is also true love.)
(Look at me.)
Mr. Cat spoke up: "According to my understanding of the Lepas people, you are a well-known promiscuous race."
"dissolute?"
Mr. Cat nodded. "According to the information I've read, Leopards often have multiple partners throughout their lives. There are even records of Leopards dating more than ten partners at the same time."
Xiao Zhen turned and looked at He Zhining.
"Indeed, there is." He Zhining said frankly, "That's right. My mother had three human partners at the same time."
" In other words , you admit that people like you are all playboys, right?"
"What is a philanderer? This is the definition of some intelligent races." He Zhining shook his head and sighed, "I think the philanderer in human language means falling in love with a partner and then quickly getting tired of it and looking for the next one. But our race is different. We have abundant and passionate love. My mother loved her three partners at the same time. Her three partners also loved her with the same enthusiasm."
"Does her partner have any objections?" Xiao Zhen asked.
"No, my mother loves them sincerely and doesn't favor one over the other. Her partner knows everything and is happy to accept it. They are willing to share their feelings with each other and are not jealous." He Zhining looked at Mr. Cat with a smile, "Isn't it the same for you, the Altes?"
"Well, that's true, but that's an old custom." Mr. Cat nodded. The traditional custom of the Altes is open partnerships. Female cats often maintain relationships with multiple male cats, and male cats do the same.
(Your ammunition is equivalent to hitting yourself!) Xiao Zhen said using brain waves.
(I'm not really an Ailt!)
"Then I disagree. My sister Coco is a traditional human." Xiao Zhen organized her words, "If you just read more local books and watch more TV programs, you will find that humans advocate loyalty and the marriage system is monogamy. Their traditional love is one-on-one, and they will never accept the intervention of a third party."
"I can explain. First, I am devoted to An Keke. I have no intention of looking for a second partner at the moment. I respect the local cultural traditions and moral ethics. In the eyes of humans, it is very immoral to look for a third person after confirming a partner. Therefore, I am willing to accept the local culture and will never have multiple partners at the same time like most people in our tribe. For me, Keke is enough."
"Secondly, our tradition of having multiple partners at the same time is actually determined by the instability of the genes we take in." He Zhining put down the spoon, "This Alter will definitely understand me. Because a single gene intake will lead to instability in the fetus. Genes from multiple different individuals can make the offspring stronger and avoid genetic diseases. So, it's not that our tribe is born to be promiscuous, but for the stability of racial inheritance, having multiple partners is a safe approach."
"Oh...you mean, even though your child might be unstable, you decided to just keep An Keke?"
"Yes, my dear cousin."
Don't call me so affectionately! Xiao Zhen really wanted to shout this to him. But He Zhining was looking at her with his sincere and beautiful eyes, so affectionate and so clear. Xiao Zhen knew that what he just said was true, and his superficial consciousness was as true as his words.
After all, he said that he would rather let the next generation bear the risk of genetic instability than not be with his cousin An Keke. What else can he say about this kind of emotion?
"I have a question!" Captain Madara shouted as he poked his head out of Xiaozhen's backpack.
He Zhining stared at it in surprise and said, "Why is it here..."
Xiao Zhen immediately said, "Wait! You want to know why there is a chicken here, right? Let me answer you, because this is the chicken I brought." He turned to Captain Ban, "What's your question?"
"When you say ingest genes, how do you ingest them?"
He Zhining tilted his head, "Do you really want to know?"
"I want to know! Tell me quickly." Captain Madara flapped his wings excitedly.
"Through the genitals..."
"That's enough." Xiao Zhen stopped them in time, "Don't talk about this kind of topic in public."
"Well, it's actually a very beautiful and joyful process, and I'm actually happy to share this feeling with others. But you Homo sapiens seem to regard sex as something to be ashamed of."
"If An Keke knew you tried to share your sexual feelings with her to her underage cousin, she would jump up and smash your head in."
"Okay, thank you, my cute little cousin."
Why does it become more intimate the more you call me?
Mr. Cat said: "Actually, I have a question too."
"What?"
"You reproduce by taking in genes through your genitals, can you conceive?"
He Zhining shook his head and said, "No. Only intercourse with mutual understanding can make Lepas pregnant. So--" He Zhining said to Xiaozhen, "Please believe my feelings for Coco."
It seemed as if there was no room for counterattack.
Xiao Zhen asked another question, "Does An Keke know that you are an alien now? Also, does she know that you have a child?"
"She doesn't know." He Zhining frowned and said, "Because of the local independent civilization code, I haven't let her know yet."
"I think if you truly love her, An Keke has the right to know your condition and physical characteristics."
"I think so too. I will find a good time to communicate with her."
"Also, An Keke is a daughter of a prominent family. She has always lived a life of luxury. Do you think your current salary will allow her to..."
"Oh, don't worry about that." He Zhining smiled, "We are an endangered species protected by the law and enjoy special federal subsidies."
"Oh... it seems to be the case."
Mr. Cat said, "Because of the small population and the fact that they are on the verge of extinction, I remember that several star systems were directly designated as Leopardi protection areas."
He Zhining nodded: "Yes. I have a galaxy under my name."
"A galaxy??"
"There are three habitable planets, one agricultural planet, four mineral planets, and two rare gas planets. I have a mining company and a tourism group. In addition, I transformed one of the planets into an amusement park planet. If you want to come and travel in the future, all expenses are free."
"Okay!! Brother-in-law!!"
