Little Flower Spirit [Interstellar]

Jǐn Chū was a little flower spirit who only bore fruit once every thousand years. During his first thousand years, he meticulously and expectantly prepared to produce his first fruit of his spiri...

Chapter 100

Of course, Ye Ruisheng was not the only one sent to entertain Jin Chu, or to deal with all the situations caused by him and investigate him.

The Empire assembled a large team.

Just for the three giant cats, there are thousands of people who take care of, observe and study them.

There were even more people surrounding Jinchu.

Jin Chu allowed these people to hang around him, and openly and pretended to understand human society bit by bit. Of course, compared to those people, he obviously preferred to go in and out with Ye Ruisheng.

Because of the previous preparations, his mate selection criteria spread throughout the empire, triggering people to discuss and screen, and come up with a mate selection list. The number of people was not large, but in terms of comprehensive ranking, Ye Ruisheng deservedly ranked first.

Some people even set up a lot of gambling online - did the empire's leaders send Ye Ruisheng to contact this alien boss in order to seduce him with their beauty? Would this alien boss really develop something with their empire's most outstanding lieutenant general?

So when Jinchu showed his closeness to Ye Ruisheng, people all over the empire had a feeling of "as expected".

Jin Chu discovered that when others saw him and Ye Ruisheng together, he would always have an auntie's smile on his face, which he thought was very secretive.

He sighed, "I didn't expect everyone to be so eager to see and support us together. This was truly the right move."

Ye Ruisheng smiled slightly after hearing this.

Zhou Qin, who actively spreads positive comments online and creates those love-filled rumors and gambling games: He hides his merits and fame!

Jinchu browsed various online forums and found that the majority of people were curious about what kind of creature he was, where he came from, and what abilities he had...

The important information could not be revealed yet, but as for what ability it had, the second generation of evolution agent was still under research. Jin Chu thought about it, and the next day he turned himself into a big balloon, flew into the sky, and traveled around the world, making his presence felt.

Then he took his three big cats on a global tour. Their agile, graceful and sturdy figures excited many cat lovers, who said they wanted to get one to raise. However, when their destructive power and appetite were revealed, most people fell silent.

Alien cats, I can’t afford to raise them. Didn’t you see that the finance minister of the planet Belfield was almost crying because of the eating?

Ye Ruisheng also wanted to improve his prestige and status, so he discussed with him, "Those rare or useful items from Little Flower Star that don't cause any trouble and can be brought here can be brought here. Also, I want to claim the alloys produced from the molten lava as precious minerals from your homeland. Are you willing to bring them to the Empire for trade?"

Jinchu quickly thought about what the Empire didn't have, what people would like, or what would be of great use. He was stunned when he heard this: "The amount of alloy is not large, it's not enough for you."

Over the years, he would transport as much of that alloy as possible to Ye Ruisheng.

"So I don't want it anymore. You have to invest a certain amount into the empire every year and trade with the military." Ye Ruisheng paused, "and invest some in the black market as well."

Only by putting it on the black market can it have influence among the people.

"Then you don't have any."

"I've already saved quite a bit, enough for me." Ye Ruisheng joked, "Now that I have you as my backer, it doesn't matter if I slack off a bit."

With Jinchu, his status in the empire is now very transcendent, and his voice is gradually increasing. On the contrary, his opponents are having a hard time.

This change will become more and more obvious over time.

In the end, he still lived off a gigolo, but he did so willingly and wholeheartedly.

So Jinchu brought local specialties from his hometown to do business.

How could anything on Little Flower Star be bad? He had taken many seeds to W1 back then, and those couldn't be considered specialties anymore. But other than that, Little Flower Star was so large, with countless species: exotic flowers and plants, delicious fruits and vegetables, beautiful leather, precious minerals, and many natural and earthly treasures that could be used for nourishment.

Get a piece of ice and go to the Empire State. Melting it and taking a bath in it will have miraculous beauty effects.

His business was booming, his products appeared on the black markets of various planets, people were proud to buy his products, and countless merchants and companies wanted to cooperate with him.

Soon he established businesses on various planets, and this development stunned countless people.

Some who believed he had come to the Empire with ill intentions were furious to see him quickly establish a foothold in the Empire in this way. They repeatedly tried to obstruct him, but to no avail. Firstly, Ye Ruisheng was too assertive and wouldn't tolerate any sabotage. Secondly, the Empire's policy was to coexist with aliens in a friendly manner, and they not only couldn't stop them but also gave them the green light.

Third, do you want flowers and plants that are in line with the people's wishes and will automatically shine and make the dinner party look like you are in a blooming jungle?

Do you want fruits and vegetables that are so delicious that they make you want to scream, give you sweet dreams, and even prolong your life?

Would you like to soak in the ice water that can make your skin crystal clear, firm and smooth like jade?

Not to mention the alloys and minerals of great significance, as well as the furs that attracted great attention like the black and white snake skins, which were even projects that the military was vying for long-term cooperation.

Under the general trend, Jinchu has become the only supplier of high-end rare goods. I'm afraid those saboteurs themselves want to buy his things.

Jinchu has been so high-profile for three or four years, and finally, the second-generation gene evolution agent is going to be on the market.

"...The second-generation genetic evolution agent is an oral evolution agent, safer than the first generation. It's primarily targeted at G to D-level evolutionaries. Under normal circumstances, it can rapidly increase the user's strength by two to three levels. However, the actual effect depends on the individual's physique and potential. Future achievements also depend primarily on persistent and diligent training..."

At the product launch conference, the military and researchers sat in rows, and the project leader Nolin spoke on the stage. His main point was that the evolution agent only raised people's potential to a higher level, and the level they would reach in the future still depended on their personal efforts.

At this moment, the eyes of the entire empire were focused on Norlin.

Zheng En sat in the audience with a pout on his face. Two plainclothes soldiers on his left and right watched him vigilantly to prevent him from doing anything out of line.

Zheng En couldn't help but sigh slightly. He had no freedom and could not see the light of day. This time he was allowed to leave the research center because Ye Ruisheng showed him special favor because of his meritorious service in research.

He didn't care about this, as long as he had research to do, what's more, he only lost his freedom, but he was not deprived of the respect he deserved. In the research center, everyone respectfully called him "teacher", and he was always the leader in group meetings. In the eyes of the outside world, he was also a mysterious technical boss behind the scenes.

Although people only knew Norlin as the so-called person in charge and spokesperson, when people talked about him, they were even more envious and admired of him as the mysterious chief engineer.

Zheng En felt a little proud when he thought about this. Ye Ruisheng did not forbid him to surf the Internet, but he was lurking everywhere and occasionally popping up anonymously. He could eat a few more bites of food every day just by reading the words praising him on the Internet.

"Go back." He said, and quietly left the scene under the escort of two soldiers, walked into the special passage, but saw two people standing there.

The tall, straight, and handsome man was talking to the person next to him with his head tilted to the side. His expression was extremely gentle, without any of the majesty and coldness he showed in front of others. The person next to him was tall and slender, smiling brightly, with a handsome appearance between a young man and a teenager, and a pair of bright and clear light green eyes that were very recognizable. He had a nest of grass on his head, a big furry white cat in his arms, and two cats at his feet.

One is pure orange, the other has alternating orange and white hairs, and its belly is completely white.

Both of them were plump, lying there with their flesh squeezed out.

Zheng En paused. These three cats were all miniature versions of the three giant cats known to the outside world. Thousands of people had been fascinated by those three cats in recent years. Some people couldn't pet the giant cats, so they tried every means to find normal cats with similar appearances.

But no matter how similar those were, they were not as similar as the three in front of him. Except for their smaller size, everything else was exactly the same.

Of course they are exactly the same, because they are the same person!

If people knew that these three giant cats could actually shrink and grow larger, they would probably be even more crazy and obsessed.

Zheng En walked over: "Governor Ye, Mr. Jinchu."

The two turned to look at him, and Ye Ruisheng greeted him calmly: "Dr. Zheng."

When Zheng En was taken to the Empire as a prisoner, Ye Ruisheng held his life in his hands so that he could continue to do the research he wanted to do. He got what he wanted and used the research results to save his own life. The two of them knew the pros and cons clearly, so they never thought of getting closer.

Speaking of which, Ye Ruisheng's willingness to give him the title of "Chief Engineer" was already an extra privilege.

Jin Chu also glanced at him indifferently without saying anything. He had abused his little friend, and for this reason alone, he would not be kind to this man.

"Meow." The white cat in his arms looked up at the human and meowed softly, its round, black eyes gleaming with curiosity and gentleness. It clearly didn't remember this human. However, the two fat cats at Jinchu's feet straightened up and glared at Zheng En fiercely.

It's him! The guy who always sucks our blood!

Zheng En was well aware of the ferocity of the cat father and son, so he quickly said goodbye and looked at Jin Chu and the grass on his head that moved by itself with some reluctance.

There was also a small red thing lying on Ye Ruisheng's shoulder.

A fully evolved life form!

Zheng En still remembers the first time he saw the video of Jin Chu changing its form in space. At first glance, he suspected that it was a fully evolved creature. He was filled with excitement until he discovered that the creature had turned into a human form.

It was the brutal young man who had poked him full of holes, making him want to bang his head against the wall in pain.

It turns out that he is a fully evolved creature. No wonder he received a gag order and was not allowed to mention to anyone that he had met Jin Chu.

The highest level of life that he had guessed actually appeared before him. He even felt that his life was not in vain. He wanted to have a chance to study the other party. Then the other party took the initiative to give him the materials, the crystal clear gem-like leaves, which allowed him to make the highest level of evolution agent.

Thinking of the top-level project that was still in progress, Zheng En's heart was burning with excitement and his pace quickened.

Jin Chu looked at Zheng En's back and muttered softly, "He's becoming more and more honest now."

Ye Ruisheng didn't say anything. Zheng En had done a lot of bad things for research. If he wasn't honest and useful now, he wouldn't have kept him.

At the press conference over there, Norin had already spoken passionately about the second-generation evolution agent, how much help their alien friends had given him, and that with his support, the third-generation evolution agent was also planned to be put into research.

He smiled and said, "You are now a great benefactor of the empire."

Actually, this is not a lie.

As technology matures, the first generation of evolution agents can now be mass-produced. They no longer use the serum of three cats, but the serum of a super beast on the planet W2.

The genetic level of that super beast is the highest on the planet W1W2. By raising them, we can obtain a steady supply of serum and achieve the goal of mass production.

But after trying many second-generation evolution agents, it was finally found that the extract from a seedling that Jinchu brought from his Little Flower Star was the most stable and effective raw material.

The genetic level of that tree is extremely high, and it's even better if it's native to Little Flower Star. Therefore, the current second-generation evolutionary agents are all made from sap obtained from Little Flower Star and then transported here. Because the transportation routes must be kept secret, the quantities shipped each time are limited, so mass production is not yet possible.

Ye Ruisheng decided to maintain small-scale production for at least another ten to twenty years. After all, the second-generation evolution agent was launched in such a hurry mainly to prove Jinchu's role and substantiate his statement that he came to help the people of the empire evolve.

As for the third generation of evolutionary agents, for evolutionary humans from C to A level, it currently seems that only the genetic level of the alien plants and beasts on Xiaohua Star can achieve the purpose of stimulating evolutionary humans of this level to continue evolving.

This also requires the cooperation of those exotic beasts and plants, and can only rely on Jin Chu to persuade them, and the empire must show enough sincerity and pay enough price.

There is no rush. Thirty, fifty, eighty or even a hundred years is normal.

Ye Ruisheng said, smiling as he brushed away the grass that was lying on top of Jinchu's head, making all sorts of weird movements and messing up Jinchu's hair. "In a few days, we'll go to the capital planet. The royal family will formally confer a title on you. It's not a big deal, but from now on, you'll be a noble in the empire, with a title, territory, and privileges."

At that time, no one could question his identity, and even the emperor would have to be polite to him.

The ball of grass followed Ye Ruisheng's fingers, crawled over his arm like a small tentacle monster, came to his shoulder, and wrapped around the red thing.

The red thing that was quietly curled up turned into a small person, hiding from Ye Ruisheng's shoulder to the other.

The other one chased after him.

The two of them were crawling all over Ye Ruisheng, chasing each other. Ye Ruisheng remained calm and composed, obviously very familiar with this kind of thing. He didn't care at all that his clothes were torn and his hairstyle was ruined.

He looked into Jinchu's eyes and said in a low voice, "When we come back from the capital planet, let's get married."

Jin Chu looked at him for a moment, then smiled generously, "Okay."

"call……"

"Woo..."

The two people hanging on Ye Ruisheng stopped at the same time and looked at the two adults.

Jin Chu put down the cat in his arms and grabbed the red lava man. It was now full of energy, but not hot at all. This was all taught by Ye Ruisheng. Jin Chu still remembered that in the first year, Ye Ruisheng was often burned by it and his skin peeled off or blisters appeared.

"It has been inseparable from you for several years. It has learned very well and adapted very well. It should be able to transform now." Jin Chu weighed the ball of molten lava and said thoughtfully.

Ye Ruisheng's eyes lit up: "This is really good news."

Jinchu had given him this little thing, saying that as a ball of magma, it was not a living being, and it would be even more difficult for it to transform into flesh and blood. He wanted him to get some of the popularity with it, and be able to blend into the crowd and learn more.

Ye Ruisheng therefore took the child with him day and night, and he naturally had no complaints. He liked this little thing very much. However, for fear of teaching the child bad things, he did not dare to do many things, such as... when he was with Jin Chu in private, holding hands and stealing kisses or something like that.

Now I heard that this little thing is going to transform. It's like a mission is accomplished. After it turns into a human, it can't hang on him all day, right?

Jinchu suddenly showed a cunning look: "After it becomes a human, it must have an identity. I plan to make it Guoguo's brother. Are you willing to be his father?"

Ye Ruisheng was stunned and looked at the little person standing in Jin Chu's arms. It was red, but its hands, feet, and facial features were clearly visible, and its eyelashes were even simulated. It was looking at him with big eyes, and its expression was very cute.

Although Ye Ruisheng doubted that its entire body could be used as eyes.

He patted the little man's head gently and lovingly: "Okay."

Jinchu said seriously: "You said so, then give me a drop of blood."

Ye Ruisheng didn't think much about it, thinking that there was some ceremony or contract, and did as he was told.

"Just wait, I'll give you a surprise then." Jin Chu walked away mysteriously, and the three cats followed him spontaneously. The ball of grass on Ye Ruisheng was stunned for a moment, and quickly stretched out a piece of paper, hooked Jin Chu's arm, and pulled itself over.

Ye Ruisheng also wanted to follow, but Jin Chu hurriedly said, "Don't follow me."

What exactly are you going to do? It's so mysterious.

Ye Ruisheng thought about it and decided to just wait patiently for the surprise.

Jinchu returned to the big house he had bought with his money from doing business, which was right next to the Governor's Mansion. He usually didn't live here, but always went to the Governor's Mansion. Now he solemnly closed the doors and windows and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Before him stood the molten lava figure, and the grass had transformed into Guoguo. His appearance hadn't changed much, remaining the same size as a few years ago, about three or four years old. This child, with his appearance fixed, was likely destined to be a child for decades or even centuries. He usually took advantage of his status as a grass and acted like a spoiled child, clinging to others.

"Dad, is Rongrong going to transform?" he asked nervously.

Jin Chu nodded. There was a drop of Ye Ruisheng's blood in the palm of his hand. Then his fingertips suddenly broke open and a drop of blood condensed out.

Under Jin Chu's urging, the two drops of blood floated towards the molten man and merged into its body.

The father, his two sons and three cats waited with bated breath.

Xiao Rongrong is magma. If he wants to become a human, it is not as simple as just absorbing human popularity. Jinchu thought about it and looked through his inherited memories. He felt that it would be best to provide him with genes from the outside world.

Safe and fast.

Otherwise, when it spontaneously transformed, the inherited memory told him that it would require thousands of years of cultivation and would also be struck by lightning.

It was just like when he had completely transformed into a body of flesh and blood.

So what kind of thunder is so easy to withstand? And waiting for thousands of years is too difficult.

He felt that among the many exotic plants and beasts on Little Flower Star, no one could transform into a human form, and the reason was that these two factors were missing.

Taking someone else's genes means that from a biological point of view, they are related, and they are direct blood relatives. It is a bit depressing to think about it, but Ye Ruisheng is not an outsider, and Xiao Rongrong is willing to do so.

The molten lava figure fell silent. The two men and three cats waited and waited, but when they were about to board the spaceship, there was still no result. Jin Chu wrapped up the molten lava figure, put it in his arms, and left.

Another three-hour journey passed. Just one day before arriving at the capital planet, Jinchu suddenly said excitedly to Ye Ruisheng, "It worked! Little Rongrong succeeded!"

"Really?!" Ye Ruisheng was also very excited.

Jin Chu pulled Ye Ruisheng towards his room. When the door opened, Guoguo was standing in front of him with a smile, but there was no other person.

Jin Chu asked curiously, "Where's Xiao Rongrong?"

Guoguo pointed behind the table: "I'm shy."

Jinchu said: "Xiao Rongrong, Rongrong, come out and let your father see you."

Ye Ruisheng also looked behind the table expectantly.

After a while, two chubby white little hands grabbed the edge of the table, and a head slowly poked up.

Ye Ruisheng first saw a ball of fiery red hair, then a smooth forehead, handsome little eyebrows, black eyes, and a fair and tender little face.

Ye Ruisheng suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Then a child about the same age as Guoguo slowly walked out from behind the table.

Ye Ruisheng immediately understood where that sense of familiarity came from. He had this feeling when he first saw Guoguo.

It’s not that the child in front of me looks like Guoguo, but that feeling of repetition of seeing a child who looks very similar to me again.

Ye Ruisheng was stunned.

However, unlike Guoguo's cunning and liveliness, this child looked a little timid. He ran behind Jinchu and shyly stretched out one eye to see Ye Ruisheng's reaction.

Ye Ruisheng reacted and said in astonishment: "He, he and I..."

Jin Chu smiled and said, "How else can we talk about being father and son?" Then he patted the child's shoulder and said, "Call me dad."

The child stretched out his other eye, called "Dad" to Ye Ruisheng, and then quickly retracted it.

Ye Ruisheng could see clearly now that the child looked very much like himself, but also a little like Jin Chu.

Compared to Guoguo, who looks very similar to him and whose facial features are more like Jinchu when separated, this child is obviously the opposite of Guoguo.

Ye Ruisheng smiled happily after being shocked. "So this is also based on our looks?" He squatted down and stretched out his hands. "Rongrong, come here."

The child stuck his head out from behind Jin Chu's thigh again, looked at Ye Ruisheng, then looked at Jin Chu, received the latter's encouraging look, then rushed over with a giggle. He and Ye Ruisheng were already very familiar with each other, but he became shy when he turned into a human form and had a father-son relationship.

"What imitation? He just looks like that." Jin Chu said.

Ye Ruisheng just happened to hold the child in his arms. The small, soft, and warm body fell into his arms. It seemed very heavy, but only the weight of a normal fat baby, chubby and completely unable to be associated with the molten lava. When Ye Ruisheng heard Jin Chu's words, he was stunned.

Then he suddenly thought of the drop of blood, Guoguo, and many other things. An idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

He looked up in astonishment: "It's that drop of blood!"

"Yeah." Jinchu nodded and explained the difficulties of Xiao Rongrong's transformation. "So I provided half of the genes, and you provided the other half. It grew according to the rules in the genes, and of course it grew into our appearance."

He thought of something and said, "Speaking of which, our genes are quite strong. Both children have developed our strengths. However, Xiao Rongrong has been inseparable from you these past few years and has been more influenced by you, so he looks more like you. Look at his eyes, they are exactly like yours."

Ye Ruisheng was such a smart guy. He just hadn't thought of that before, but now he was suddenly enlightened and murmured, "Guoguo, was he also... born like this?"

"Well, not exactly the same, but almost the same. Back then, your blood splashed on me..."

"ah!"

Jin Chu was suddenly interrupted: "What's wrong? Why are you so surprised? Didn't I tell you a long time ago?"

Ye Ruisheng was completely stunned. He had never expected the truth to be like this. He had actually thought it was...

Seeing his silly look, Jinchu suddenly narrowed his eyes suspiciously: "By the way, are you thinking about something weird in your head? When I told you that year, I thought your reaction was strange..."

Ye Ruisheng's face flushed red, and he was extremely embarrassed. Fortunately, he had a child in his arms to shield his face: "...No, I didn't have any bad thoughts!"

After saying this, he almost wanted to slap himself. Isn't this just confessing himself?

He smiled bitterly under Jinchu's gaze, and covered up the little fat boy in his arms: "It's quite heavy. Why is he so fat?"

He and Jinchu are not fat.

Jinchu looked at him twice more inquiringly, but didn't bother to find out the truth. He glared at Guoguo who was standing beside him: "It's still Guoguo, you keep saying that fatter looks better."

Guo Guo, who was also chubby, said unconvincedly, "Because a little fatter is better!"

He couldn't control his mouth and ate a lot. Jin Chu thought it was not good to eat too much meat, so he controlled his diet and asked him to get more sun. But he ran to the three giant cats to get food and drink.

The imperial people took good care of the three cats, feeding them high-quality cat food, dried fish of various flavors, and top-quality milk. Guoguo quietly ate with them, and his belly was full every day. Therefore, Guoguo was half responsible for the rumors that the three cats were too greedy and that people were terrified.

Jin Chu ignored the little greedy boy and said to Ye Ruisheng, "Our second child is better than the eldest. Although he can't speak much after becoming a human, at least he can call daddy."

A god-like second child!

Ye Ruisheng really wanted to complain, but he didn't know how to start.

Sighing, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Jin Chu chuckled: "Isn't this a surprise for you?"

Surprise? A surprise for being a dad?

But if you think about it carefully, he only paid two drops of blood and got two amazing sons, and even brought back an even more amazing partner. This encounter... is indeed surprising and joyful.

He was a little amused and felt more fortunate for his good luck. He reached out and embraced Jin Chu and kissed her: "Jin Chu, meeting you is my biggest surprise."

This was a bit sentimental. Jin Chu felt a little embarrassed, especially since the two little ones were looking at him with their eyes wide open. He didn't know how to respond.

At this moment, someone came knocking on the door: "General, we've arrived at the capital planet and are about to enter the port."

Jinchu picked up Guoguo and said, "Let's go, pick up the little cats and go eat some delicious food!"

It was said that the Emperor was going to give him a huge banquet, with lots of delicious food, so it would be a waste not to eat. They could easily clean up the mess without Ye Ruisheng even showing up.

No, Xiao Rongrong shouldn't eat the food, right? So he's just watching? Or maybe we shouldn't bring them along. It would be bad if they accidentally gnawed on the emperor's palace.
