I'm Pregnant with the World's Hope

After a one-night stand, human Jian Luo discovered she was pregnant, and the child she was carrying might not even be human...

In Star Year 25, all of humanity migrated to Dark Star, living i...

Chapter 77 Running Away from Home

Along the way, Jian Luo was looking forward to where Zhan Wentai would take him. With these beautiful fantasies in his heart, he followed Zhan Wentai. The High Priest walked in front, and Jian Luo followed closely behind him.

Zhan Wentai consciously stopped and waited for him.

Jian Luo asked: "Where are you taking me?"

"Holy land." The people of Zhan Wentai were known for their saintliness, so their words naturally gave off an air of unattainability: "The holy land of Phoenix Terrace."

Jian Luo couldn't help but say: "Wow."

Looks really awesome.

The holy land of Phoenix Terrace is actually different from that of the Dragon Clan. The styles of the two races are really completely different.

The Phoenix Clan is a well-deserved clan of gods. They have a strong sense of God. The entire huge Phoenix Terrace is actually shaped like a phoenix with its wings spread out, ready to fly. The center is hollowed out, and there are spiral staircases around it. It is a bit tiring to walk up the stairwell.

Jian Luo panted: "Why don't we build an elevator?"

"There's no elevator here." Zhan Wentai turned and said, "Usually, people fly to places like this."

fly?

Jian Luo looked up in surprise: "Is this true? I've never seen a phoenix fly."

Zhan Wentai glanced at him, as if Jian Luo had just made a terrible request, which made him feel inexplicably embarrassed.

Jian Luo coughed lightly.

Zhan Wentai said silently, "Every phoenix can fly, but they don't fly for anyone in particular."

Jian Luo expressed his understanding: "I understand, I understand. This is self-respect."

"No, this is loyalty to one's partner." Zhan Wentai walked beside him, his voice firm, "We are loyal to each other."

Jian Luo sighed, saying, "They are, after all, cultured people. They have such a strong sense of ritual, unlike the Dragon Clan..."

Zhan Wentai spoke like a professional teacher imparting knowledge to a struggling student: "The phoenix doesn't fly for humans, the dragon clan won't let anyone touch their horns easily, the vampire clan won't let anyone use their coffin easily, and the Pixiu won't reveal its true form to anyone."

Jian Luo blurted out: "Why?"

Zhan Wentai glanced at him sideways and asked, "Who are you asking about?"

"...I can understand the first few." Jian Luo scratched his head: "Why doesn't the Pixiu reveal its true form?"

Zhan Wentai explained to him, "The Pixiu family is meant to attract wealth. They are full of wealth energy. The inherent Pixiu bones can make a country rich. Unless it is someone who is extremely trusted, otherwise, the Pixiu will never easily reveal its true form."

Jian Luo gave a vivid metaphor: "Doesn't it mean that the Pixiu is full of treasures?"

Zhan Wentai nodded.

"Gosh, I remember Brother Long saying the same thing. The dragon's scales and blood are extremely precious." Jian Luo gasped. "I'm sure many people covet them. Does your Phoenix clan have anything that would attract such covetousness?"

As a teacher, Zhan Wentai did not give him a direct answer. Instead, he looked at him sideways and asked, "What do you think?"

“…”

Jian Luo felt a little guilty: "Well, let me guess, maybe I'm coveting your beauty?"

Zhan Wentai glanced at him, and Jian Luo looked away guiltily.

"The phoenix has the ability to rise from the ashes." Zhan Wentai told him bluntly, "The blood of a phoenix, if used as a living sacrifice, can resurrect a person."

Jian Luo widened his eyes, it was outrageous!

The divine beast is worthy of being a divine beast, it’s like it’s cheating!

He recalled and remembered that Lu Shifeng had said before that the dragon's bones and blood could heal all wounds, and its scales were indestructible, so they were coveted. When the dragon clan was still weak and was invaded by alien planets, the little dragons would be stripped of their scales and blood.

By analogy, wouldn't the Phoenix's ability be even worse than that of the Dragon Clan? It would be a living sacrifice.

Jian Luo frowned, then thought about the Pixiu. That kind of mythical beast that brings wealth, covered in treasures, wouldn't it attract even more people's covetousness? An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. Without strong abilities to protect himself, he will eventually become a victim.

Thinking of this, Jian Luo actually felt a little sad.

Finally, as the two were chatting, they arrived at the so-called holy land. This was where the high priest's treasure in the sky was, which made Jian Luo very curious.

Zhan Wentai said: "This is my holy place. I must come here with awe."

Jian Luo was already prepared to welcome the joy: "Okay, okay!"

The high priest asked him to push the door. Although Jian Luo felt that this was a bit impolite, as a good student, he decided to respect the teacher's words!

Jian Luo walked to the door, placed his hand on it, and applied a little force——

Silence.

Not moving at all.

Zhan Wentai looked at him curiously. Jian Luo withdrew his hand awkwardly and said, "I can't push this door open. It's too heavy."

“…”

Zhan Wentai took a step forward, pushed the door lightly with his palm, and the door opened.

"Squeak"

The door made a slow rotating sound. Jian Luo was looking forward to the Holy Land of Phoenix, but what appeared before him were rows and rows of bookshelves that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see. They were so high that they reached the sky and there was no end in sight. It was truly jaw-dropping.

Jian Luo spoke unconsciously: "Oh my god, is this the holy land?"

Zhan Wentai stood behind him: "Knowledge is the most sacred power and the treasure of the Phoenix clan."

“…”

Absolutely

Jian Luo thought that the bookshelves he saw on the entire 15th floor were enough to give him a headache, but who would have thought that there is always someone higher than you, it's so powerful.

Zhan Wentai said: "When I feel bad, I come here to read. Knowledge can make people forget the pain."

Jian Luo was speechless and choked: "Seeing this, my head really buzzed. I can't remember anything. The teacher is right."

Zhan Wentai glanced at him coldly.

Jian Luo shrank his head guiltily and pasted the word "innocent" on the door. There were stairs here and Jian Luo was pregnant, so she needed to be more careful when walking and was easily tired. Especially since Zhan Wentai had basically carried him all the way just now, it would be much more difficult to go down the stairs now.

Zhan Wentai held out his hand to him. The priest's voice was unusually gentle. He held out his hand to him and said, "It's steep here. I'll take you."

Jian Luo raised his head and looked at Zhan Wentai's face. The high priest really had an extremely high-end face, coupled with his angelic temperament, it always made people wonder whether he would ascend to heaven at any time.

And——she seemed quite gentle.

To be honest, he used to think that Zhan Wentai was quite strict, but now it seems that he is not that strict.

Jian Luo walked up to Zhan Wentai and shook the High Priest's hand, which was even colder. He was used to Lu Shifeng's always warm palm, and suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable: "Thank you."

Zhan Wentai took him down the stairs.

The two walked through several floors, and Zhan Wentai finally stopped at one floor and pointed upwards: "These are the documents left behind when humans first arrived on Dark Star."

???

Jian Luo widened his eyes, looking at the rows of text. He walked to a row in small steps and found that they were all rows of books. They were a little dusty, but almost intact.

Jian Luo turned to look at Zhan Wentai: "Have you studied this?"

"Hmm." Zhan Wentai pointed at the books and said, "There are so many different languages, and translation is very difficult."

Jian Luo agreed very much. To be honest, he himself was not proficient in all eight languages ​​except Chinese and English. He pulled out a book from the shelf at random. Fortunately, it was a Chinese book. It actually read: "Underground City Chronicles?"

History book bar.

Jian Luo had not experienced that period of history, but that did not prevent him from being interested in it.

There were many books on the bookshelf, and Jian Luo began to read them one by one. Then, he discovered the crystallization of human wisdom over the years. The entire human race had recorded and surveyed many planets during their years of space travel, and had been looking for their homes, eager to settle down.

Dark Star is an advanced planet that most closely restores the Earth's ecosystem after human big data calculations. Jian Luo flipped to the back of the book and thought it was about to end. Just as he was about to close it, he saw a line of words at the back: Preliminary research found that the ecosystem of the Dark Star's indigenous inhabitants has been destroyed, and the creatures on the planet have lost their reproductive function.

These pages are all in Chinese.

Jian Luo continued to flip through the pages and found that there seemed to be some recipes and prescriptions similar to those given, but strangely, he did not recognize some of the words.

In other words, Jian Luo could not recognize most of the books, even those in Chinese and English. He guessed that the writing systems had been upgraded and changed during the years of the planet's development.

Zhan Wentai said, "Do you need help?"

Jian Luo said, "Do you recognize these human languages?"

"I've studied it." Zhan Wentai walked to his side: "If you need anything, I can help you take a look."

Jian Luo was very touched: "Okay."

Originally thought he was here to have fun, but Jian Luo spent the entire day in the library, forgetting to eat and sleep, completely immersed in it. Whenever he saw notes about recipes, especially those about spicy food, he would carefully write them down for future practice.

Zhan Wentai asked, "Do you like spicy food?"

"Hmm?" Jian Luo said as he recorded, "Brother Long likes to eat it too."

“…”

Zhan Wentai was silent for a while.

After Jian Luo finished speaking, he was stunned. He actually subconsciously cared about other people's habits. That was right. After all, he was half of his boss. It would be unreasonable not to pay attention to it.

On the other side - it's already evening

Secretary Jin called Jian Luo several times but couldn't get through. Normally at this time, Jian Luo would have come out by himself, and Phoenix TV would not have asked him to work overtime. After failing to get through again, Secretary Jin had no choice but to contact Phoenix TV internally, and the reply he got was that Jian Luo had long been gone from the seed center.

What's going on.

Even if Jian Luo had something to do, he would definitely contact her in advance.

Secretary Jin had no choice but to call Lu Shifeng: "Marshal."

Lu Shifeng's voice came: "What?"

"Um..." Secretary Jin said, "It seems Luoluo is temporarily unreachable. I came to pick him up but he didn't answer. Do you need me to look for him?"

Lu Shifeng frowned: "Where did he go?"

Secretary Jin had checked before: "Luoluo should be with the Lord Priest. He was there before, but he wouldn't leave work on time. And he didn't contact me. I wonder... maybe he's angry."

cold war

Then I run away from home and don't want to care about you.

The author has something to say: Lu Shifeng: Although he is small in stature, he has a big temper.
