She fell silent for a moment, sensing something was amiss, but couldn't quite grasp it.

Then a bold idea suddenly popped into my head: let Xie Yin incubate the Black Plum.

Once the idea came to mind, it was impossible to shake it off.

Having just experienced the biggest breakthrough in her life, her courage seemed to have been forcibly bolstered. After carefully considering her words, Jiang Shuyin tentatively asked, "Would you be willing to donate a drop of blood and adopt Black Plum with me?"

“Black Plum is this egg, not a toy.” I added, afraid he wouldn’t understand.

Xie Yin chuckled: "I know."

After the vehicle exited the highway, it pulled over at the intersection. Xie Yin used his fingernail to cut open his fingertip, and used the organic matter in his body to simulate the form of bleeding, dripping it onto the bright red egg.

Jiang Shuyin waited for a long time, but did not hear the system notification sound.

It failed, or did the system crash?

The eggshell was waterproof, and blood dripped from the top, sliding down the curve of the egg and onto Xie Yin's pants, a bright red drop.

Jiang Shuyin sensed intuitively that she had failed.

Does it have to be someone with a high genetic match? She hid her disappointment well.

In contrast to her, Xie Yin had already used his spiritual power to touch the tiny life inside, so small and weak, that it could be wiped out with just a thought.

"Click"

Jiang Shuyin looked up. Had she misheard?

"Click"—another sound.

She quickly located the source of the sound; a crack appeared on the crimson egg, which deepened with each impact from the black plum. Jiang Shuyin glanced at Xie Yin, whose expression was complex.

The baby was also awakened by the sound, and ran over quickly, happily circling around.

Xie Yin frowned slightly: "It seems she can't get out."

Hearing this, Jiang Shuyin suddenly remembered that when the cub hatched, the second impact created a spiderweb-sized crack in the egg, and the third impact allowed it to break through the shell. Was it Heimei...?

Wait, who hatched Black Plum? Xie Yin?

She hoped it was Xie Yin.

"Do we need your help?" Jiang Shuyin asked anxiously.

Xie Yin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's wait a little longer."

Even being born requires help; there's no way he could survive in the Kelton family. Xie Yin's expression was grave.

"Katz"

The eggshell finally broke, and Jiang Shuyin saw the little black plum emerging from the eggshell. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and take a deep breath.

Xie Yin's expression softened slightly: "Very cute. What do we need to do right after a newborn?"

Jiang Shuyin carefully held 'Thumbelina' in her palm, picked up a piece of eggshell from Xie Yin's lap, and placed it to Xiao Heimei's lips: "Eat it, it's good for your health."

The little black plum opened its mouth and tried its best to gnaw on the hard 'compressed biscuit'.

Zai Zai snuggled up behind Xiao Hei Mei like a cushion. From today onwards, Zai Zai is a big brother and can no longer be called Zai Zai.

Parents all hope their children will become successful, and a name is something that follows them throughout their lives. Jiang Shuyin had actually started thinking about this a long time ago.

"On the altar, rows of dragon-shaped trees, resembling green parasol trees, were planted, each ten zhang tall."

"The cicada loves the green grass, the phoenix perches on the green parasol tree."

The eggshell is emerald green, but what comes out is a dark cloud. The green parasol tree is the parasol tree, where dragons and phoenixes can perch.

After thinking it over, she poked the soft lump behind Heimei with her finger: "How about I give you a name too, like Qingwu?"

Qingwu couldn't speak, so Jiang Shuyin couldn't help but analyze him based on his condition.

Xie Yin suddenly spoke up: "He said he likes it."

Jiang Shuyin was slightly taken aback and glanced at him. Was Xie Yin joking with her?

She couldn't understand any of it.

And: "Why aren't you surprised? This egg hatched into a person..."

Xie Yin met her gaze: "In this world today, what is there that we can't imagine?"

That makes sense. Jiang Shuyin put the eggshells in her glasses case, and Heimei sat inside quietly eating.

I turned the car key and drove the car toward my destination; there were still 12 kilometers to go.

Upon arriving at the sofa factory, they found a group of people already there investigating. Like Jiang Shuyin and her companion, they had come here on a mission to capture the sickly person alive.

Jiang Shu asked, "Should we go somewhere else? Someone's coming."

Xie Yin locked the car and stepped inside: "Let me see."

The factory lights were on, the ground was covered with cut wooden planks, and the air smelled of wood.

Not a single person was to be seen.

Jiang Shuyin wouldn't be foolish enough to shout, "Is anyone there?"

As they walked further in, they could vaguely hear some noises. Jiang Shuyin wanted to exchange a glance with Xie Yin, but the man was staring intently at the two o'clock position.

As she reached the corner, Jiang Shuyin saw two sickly people being forcibly tied up, being dragged over by four or five people. When they saw Jiang Shuyin, their eyes turned playful.

That kind of evil aura carried a strong sense of aggression.

"Are you here to catch monsters too?" The person who asked the question had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and smoke kept spilling out as he spoke. "We've taken care of these two. Now, the only ones we can catch are those in the worst-hit areas. Going in without superpowers is just suicide."

The man's gaze swept over Jiang Shuyin and Xie Yin, seemingly assessing their strength.

Xie Yin nodded and followed them out. Jiang Shuyin quickly followed, while the man walked slowly at the back, his gaze lingering behind her, making her feel like she was being pricked.

Xie Yin noticed that they had installed a mesh container in the trunk of the car, just big enough to hold two sick people. His gaze made it impossible for the group to ignore him. After locking the container, the other man clapped his hands and walked over: "I'm Wang Tao from the Tianba Team. Where are you from, brother?"

Xie Yin: "Anshi, where did you buy your equipment from?"

Liu Tao gave a thumbs-up and said, "That? Send a sick person to the Hangzhou Biological Research Institute and they'll issue it."

Jiang Shuyin jogged out, the scorching sun warming her body first and then intensifying her heat. Ignoring Xie Yin's conversation with others, she opened the car door and hid inside.

A look of amazement flashed in Liu Tao's eyes as he pointed at the car: "Your girlfriend? Why didn't you come out and say hello? We could have a meal together later, get to know each other. If you're going to be working in Hangzhou, you'll definitely have to deal with us."

"Girlfriend," Xie Yin pondered the words repeatedly, then raised an eyebrow and smiled, "She's my girlfriend. We'll get to know each other when we meet again. I'm going to the next place."

Liu Tao took two steps forward: "Now, whenever there are monsters in the disaster area, no one dares to go there. People are scrambling to collect these two or three at a time. But I know a place with one. I'll take you there."

Xie Yin: "Thanks."

Liu Tao was delighted and was about to state her conditions when Xie Yin quickly added, "No need."

Liu Tao stood frozen in place, watching the car almost brush past him as it drove away, the wind blowing his unkempt hair, which hadn't been styled for months, into his eyes, causing a sharp, stinging pain.

"Old Liu, if you don't leave, I'll just leave you here."

"After talking to a man for so long, is your ass dry?"

Liu Tao squeezed into the back seat and cursed several times: "That woman is so sexy, she's got me rock hard. Just wait, if you want to survive here, you'll be pinned down by me if you're late."
