Chapter 244 Qin Mo's Pride

Chapter 244 Qin Mo's Pride

Qin Mo's blissful sex life lasted for more than two months. Just as he was about to leave Dayuan and set off for Southeast Asia, he had to become abstinent, which made Qin Mo, who was used to playing romantic, warm and exciting games with his two sisters, very unhappy.

When the two girls excitedly told her they were both pregnant, Qin Mo initially thought they were trying to avoid something. But even the big elf was alarmed. When Allen told her that they were indeed pregnant, Qin Mo suddenly felt... she was finally the head of the family, and the responsibility on her shoulders was even heavier.

"Does the teacher's legacy include... a secret technique related to reproduction?"

The great elf looked intently at Qin Mo, but asked somewhat shyly.

"...No, why ask that question?"

"…Mo, do you know how difficult it is for cultivators, especially high-level cultivators, to have offspring? If both husband and wife are cultivators, it is even more difficult. It is considered lucky to have only one child in decades, but you… got both of them pregnant in just two months…it’s unbelievable."

Qin Mo chuckled, his smile as bright as a flower. His genes were truly powerful! This was a man's pride, no doubt about it.

"Mo, our Elf race no longer has the Tree of Life, making it very difficult for our race to reproduce. If you have any secret techniques passed down... don't keep them to yourself."

The fact that the great elf rarely made a request of Qin Mo shows that reproduction is the most important thing in any race.

Qin Mo shook his head helplessly. He really couldn't bring himself to say it. Every part of his body was being constantly ravaged and strengthened by Nirvana Flame day and night. A certain part of his body was indeed different, but he was too embarrassed to say the reason.

Despite the two girls' deep affection for Qin Mo, it was time to part ways. Qin Mo's journey wasn't just about reaching Xizhou; he at least had to achieve his goal of colonizing Zhu, and if he left any later, there wouldn't be enough time.

At the military dock in Tamsui Port, the crowd seeing him off was not sad. After all, Qin Mo was not going to war this time, but to study at the temple. Moreover, the good news that both of the royal concubines were pregnant put everyone at ease. The prosperity of the family head's offspring was a source of great joy, which also eased their worries about Qin Mo's departure.

"Both of you are pregnant, so you need to be careful at home, especially you, Kai. Forget about challenging Miyamoto Musashi! Wait until I get back."

"Kai has noted it down. Kai will definitely wait for Your Highness to return in Daikan."

While holding back her tears, Kaihime spoke to Qin Mo and placed the Fusang lucky charm "Omamori" around Qin Mo's neck, just like an ordinary daughter-in-law.

"Xia, please take good care of the prince on the way. If the prince gets thin, I will... I will not consider you my friend."

Lin Ruoxi's tears were already flowing. After tidying Qin Mo's clothes again, she gave instructions to her "personal maid" Xi Ya over and over again.

Qin Mo called over Ximan, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't rush to reveal all your cards. The best strategy is to keep others chasing after you. Do you understand?"

The great alchemist Seaman nodded heavily, his face full of excitement. Before leaving, Qin Mo finally gave him the formulas and theoretical ideas for various explosives, such as breech-loading cannons, nitroglycerin, and Dana explosives, as well as new types of ships—enough for him to study for eight to ten years.

Qin Mo finally came to Allen's side, opened her arms and hugged him again, which made the great elf feel helpless. Qin Mo rarely hugged him anymore. Was he expressing his guilt in this special way?

“Allen, if we really can’t hold them off, then we don’t need anything else. Just take the men and leave. We brothers can make a comeback anywhere.”

The great elf pushed Qin Mo away angrily and said, "You're a spendthrift, but I'm not. Don't worry, I'll protect you well."

Qin Mo laughed heartily, nodded to his subordinate leaders, turned around and boarded the new ship "Da Yuan No. 1," setting sail from the shore.

"May Your Highness have a safe journey."

"We hope Your Highness will return soon."

The atmosphere of parting finally filled the dock, with many officials and commoners shedding tears and loudly wishing their masters a safe journey.

Six state-of-the-art large frigates, leading nearly twenty other frigates, followed Qin Mo's "Dayuan No. 1," raising their mainsails and slowly sailing out of the harbor, gradually accelerating until they disappeared from the public eye.

"Xia, you used to make a living by the sea. Look at my boat, how does it compare to those of the Indians, Arabs, and Ottomans?" Qin Mo asked Xia proudly, touching his and Ximan's latest masterpiece.

"Zhu Rao's ship was designed by the Arabs. The fastest ship I've ever seen is an Arab ship, but it can't compare to your ship, Qin Mo. This ship is simply amazing."

Shia, gripping the ropes of the foremast's sling, let the sea breeze tousle her long golden hair, feeling the high speed of the new sailboat, and excitedly shouted "Greatsword!"

The ship, designed by Qin Mo and built by Ximan through all means, is actually the pinnacle of his previous life's sailing creations—the clipper sailboat.

A ship cannot be copied just by looking at its appearance. Qin Mo only knew a few key features of clipper sailboats, and the process of realizing these features had caused Ximan countless brain cells to die of worry. Ximan even suggested replacing a certain component with a magic array, but Qin Mo refused. He wanted to build a prototype ship that could be mass-produced, not an artwork made of gold and silver.

Clipper sailboats have very low freeboards and virtually no superstructure, resulting in an extremely low center of gravity that can withstand greater winds and waves. But what is the ratio of the keel to the hull? Qin Mo only knew it was more than three-quarters; the rest was determined by Ximan through repeated model tests.
