for Advance Chapter
In the days that followed, it entered a peculiar cycle. The Astral Express continued its journey, handling various interstellar affairs, while I, whenever I had free time, would quietly come to this garden villa located in a quiet corner of the Luofu through that secret beacon. Ruan Mei seemed to regard this as one of her permanent research points, and most of the time she buried her head in the villa in various complex research projects, and I mostly couldn't understand the things in those instruments and culture dishes, but I could feel the wisdom and madness of a member of the Genius Society contained within them.
And regarding my arrival, and the "experiment request" that followed, Ruan Mei's attitude was exactly as she said—research is the priority. She would never explicitly refuse my demands, and would satisfy me almost every time. Only when she was truly immersed in a certain key research node, to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep, if I didn't know how to interest myself to disturb her, would she frown slightly, then pick up the nearest book (usually a thick academic monograph), and tap me gently on the head, signaling "don't mess around, busy." That small action with helplessness and some indulgence actually made me feel a different kind of intimacy. And most of the other time, whether she was analyzing data, preparing reagents, or recording observation logs, as long as I expressed the willingness to be close to her, she would usually put down her work and start that "exploration" full of collision of body and soul in the name of science with me again, either actively or passively. Many of those sessions ended with her pussy visibly overflowing with my cum, her lower belly softly rounded from being pumped so full, and streams of semen running down her perfect legs.
Our relationship, in this secret "research" and getting along day by day, became tighter and tighter, and more and more... difficult to define. Such days continued for a few more weeks. This garden villa on the Xianzhou Luofu almost became another secret stronghold for me outside the Astral Express. The relationship between Ruan Mei and me also became closer and more tacit in the repeated "scientific explorations," although the essence of that research as the core never changed.
This morning, the sun outside the window was just right, and we had just finished a hearty "fierce battle." Sweat soaked the sheets, and the air was filled with the lazy atmosphere after pleasure. I lay on my side, looking at Ruan Mei's jade-like back and scattered green silk, my heart full of satisfaction. Ruan Mei recovered, as usual, habitually raised her hand to call out that light blue holographic screen, and began to check the large amount of "experimental data" that had just been generated and was hot. Her eyes remained focused, and her fingers slid rapidly on the screen. Suddenly, her movement stopped. I saw her eyes open wide suddenly, that pair of eyes that were always calm like water, for the first time clearly flashed with an incredible radiance, even carrying a trace of... violent fluctuation. Her breathing also seemed to stop for a moment.
"What's wrong?" I asked curiously, supporting my body and looking at her screen, although I still couldn't understand the complex spectrums and data on it. She didn't answer me immediately, but repeatedly confirmed the information on the screen, her fingers trembling slightly due to excitement. After a long while, she turned her head to look at me, and her face, which was always cold and self-possessed, actually bloomed with a complex look mixed with shock, ecstasy, and relief!
"Dear..." Her voice carried a trace of undetectable trembling, but more was an irrepressible joy, "We... we succeeded! The data shows... the potential trait regarding the 'Path' in my gene sequence... has been activated! I... I also have the possibility of changing the Path!"
"Really?!" I was overjoyed when I heard this, hugged her tightly in my arms, and felt her slightly trembling body, "Great! Ruan Mei! That's great! Being able to help you, that's great!"
We hugged each other tightly, sharing the joy brought by this late but incredibly important "research result." After the excitement passed, I couldn't help but ask curiously: "Awesome! But... why did it succeed this time? There was no reaction so many times before..."
Hearing my question, a suspicious red blush flew onto Ruan Mei's cheeks, and her eyes were a bit dodging, seeming a bit shy. She paused before speaking in a tone that was almost like explaining research variables: "Mm... according to data deduction and variable control records... in the past few weeks, when we conducted 'interactions,' I... I took contraceptive measures and took relevant blocking drugs to ensure the purity of the 'deep life information interaction,' excluding... um, interference that may be brought by the reproductive process."
"But..." she continued, her tone regaining the calmness of a researcher, "After many negative results, I adjusted the experimental plan. In the past few days... in order to completely control variables, I decided... to stop using any contraceptive measures."
My heart jumped, and there was a vague premonition. Sure enough, Ruan Mei looked at me and said the conclusion that shocked me in a tone of stating facts: "The data shows that the key node that truly activated the 'Path' potential trait seems to be... the moment the fertilized egg successfully implants in my body and establishes a link with my life system. The energy fluctuation reached its peak at that time, and induced adaptive changes at the gene level."
"That... that means..." My voice was a bit dry, looking at her flat lower abdomen in disbelief.
Ruan Mei nodded, there was no special expression on her face, as if confirming an experimental phenomenon: "That's right. According to physiological index detection, I am pregnant."
Boom——!
My brain went blank instantly.
Pregnant?! Ruan Mei... pregnant?! Carrying... my child?!
This sudden news hit me like a thunderbolt, knocking me out. I looked at Ruan Mei, she didn't seem to show much emotional fluctuation about "pregnancy" itself like ordinary women, such as joy, worry, or fear. Her focus seemed to be entirely on the "research" itself.
"Perhaps... the physiological process of 'pregnancy' is a necessary prerequisite for humans (or at least women of specific gene types) to acquire this 'Path assimilation' ability." She even began to analyze it by herself, her eyes shining with thoughtful light.
Before I could recover from the shock, Ruan Mei seemed to have made a major decision. She looked at me, her eyes carrying a familiar determination that belonged to a scientist.
"Trailblazer, this discovery is of great significance, I must start more in-depth research immediately. I need to track the stability and heritability of this gene change, as well as the specific influence mechanism on the individual's 'Path' choice. This requires a brand-new, highly controllable research environment, maybe... I need to leave here for a while."
She paused, seeming to feel a bit inappropriate, and then said a sentence that made me completely cry and laugh in a tone of "arranging the follow-up of the experiment":
"During my absence for research, in order to make up for my inability to continue to accompany you to conduct 'experiments,' and also as... um, a kind of compensation, I allow you to... marry multiple wives. I will handle the relevant legal and resource issues for you."
"..."
I was completely petrified. Allowed me to... marry a few wives? As compensation for her going to study the relationship between pregnancy and the Path? What the hell is this?! I looked at Ruan Mei's beautiful face full of "science is supreme" and "logical self-consistency," and for a moment I really didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and didn't know how to react at all.
However, Ruan Mei obviously wasn't joking. She seemed to think this was a very logical and fair arrangement. That afternoon, she really took action. She quickly sorted out the necessary experimental equipment and data, and then transferred all management permissions of this garden villa to me. Before leaving, she just hugged me gently and left a sentence in my ear: "When I have initial progress in my research, I will contact you. Take care of... yourself."
Then, she left without hesitation through the transmission beacon. Only I was left standing in the empty villa, my mind in chaos, holding the highest permission of the villa, my heart filled with complex emotions. I successfully helped her gain ability... she is pregnant... then she ran away for research... and "allowed" me to marry other wives as compensation?
What the hell is this?! My trailblazing journey is really getting more and more ridiculous…
