Chapter 184
After being away for more than half a month, the little tit didn't look much changed. It was still round and plump, and when its snow-white hair stood up, it looked like a small ball.
The little tit was very angry because it was being watched like a little chick.
It flapped its wings, flew into the air, and said angrily: "I am a tit! A flying tit! I am not a chicken!"
The tender and unfamiliar voice of a child rang out on the green land, startling the cubs who came over to watch.
"Jiujiu, why can you speak?" Langze asked first.
The little chickadee puffed out its chest proudly and hummed, "I'm a human too, of course I can talk!"
It landed on Xuewei's shoulder and gently rubbed the little girl's cheek with its beak, saying with affection and longing, "Weiwei, I'm back!"
Xuewei held the little tit in the palm of her hand and looked at it tenderly.
Susu did not lie to her. Jiujiu was really a beast-like human. During the time they were apart, it even learned to speak.
very nice!
"Jiujiu, I miss you so much." She said softly.
"I miss you too." The little tit jumped on her palm, expressing her feelings.
They grew up together and are the closest family. They have never been apart for such a long time, but fortunately, the result is perfect!
Lang Ze, standing next to him, was still puzzled. "Aren't you a tit? Why are you a human again?"
"So Jiujiu is a beast-transformed cub?" Lu Jiao asked.
"Yes!" The little tit nodded.
Langze couldn't help but exclaim, "Are you a boy or a girl?"
The voice of the little tit sounds about the same age as Xiao Lihua. It is crisp and has a bit of a baby tone. It is really hard to tell whether it is a boy or a girl.
Hearing Langze's question, the little tit puffed out her chest again and said proudly: "I am so beautiful, of course I am a girl like Weiwei!"
“Oh oh!”
After hearing what it said, Langze, Lu Jiao and others nodded.
The little tit is really pretty.
Even Xiao Lihua agreed, but her mind was elsewhere, so after nodding, she continued to ask, "Will the little chicken be as beautiful as you?"
She really has no resistance to beautiful things!
When Jiujiu heard that it was being compared to a chick again, she was about to get angry, but after finding out that it was Xiao Lihua who asked the question, her attitude improved.
It tilted its head. Although it had never seen a chick before, but...
"I'm definitely prettier than all of them!" said Jiujiu proudly.
Little Lihua nodded and gave it a cute smile, "Yes! Jiji is so cute!"
"Hehe~"
The little titmouse, being praised, immediately chirped and flew to the girl's shoulder, rubbing her affectionately to express its joy.
Yan Ya, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but take a picture of this scene, with a happy smile on her face.
Rong Heng did not join the conversation.
After seeing the little sparrow come back, he prepared to continue practicing, and Li Sinian followed him, hoping to give him some guidance and help.
After all, Rong Heng's power to control objects comes from his bloodline.
Rong Heng didn't refuse him this time. The more combat experience, the better! So, the father and son went to the place where Rong Heng usually practiced.
Li Sinian didn't care and simply sat down cross-legged. He then asked Rong Heng, "Do you know what ferocious beast this second bloodline in your body, besides the red-tailed lion, comes from?"
Rong Heng shook his head.
Li Sinian smiled slightly and took off a brooch from his clothes. There was a pattern printed on the brooch that looked like an eagle soaring in the sky.
"This is a Saker Falcon, and it's also the family emblem of our Li family. As long as we are in the Tess Empire, no one doesn't recognize this symbol." Li Sinian looked solemn.
Rong Heng also looked serious. At this moment, the father and son looked like they were printed from the same mold.
"If you're interested in our family's history, I'll tell you about it later," Li Sinian said. "Please keep this badge."
Rong Heng was about to refuse, but Li Sinian said, "You and Xiao Lihua are both my children. Everything in the Li family will be inherited by you in the future."
"Because of our long separation, we are strangers to you, so you are reluctant to accept material things for the time being. I understand this, and I am willing to give you time."
"But it's just a small badge, can't you accept it?"
Rong Heng looked at Li Sinian, the man who was said to be his father. They had similar facial features and shared the same blood.
Only after observing him closely did Rong Heng realize that his temples were already gray, a sign of aging...
Looking at the sadness on the man's face, Rong Heng finally took the brooch after a moment of silence. However, he did not pin it on his clothes as Li Sinian expected, but put it into his spirit storage bag.
After a slight stiffness, Li Sinian sighed secretly and told himself to take it slow.
He continued to talk about the Saker Falcon with Rong Heng.
The Saker Falcon is a small but agile falcon. In addition to its good physique, its innate strong mental power is one of its most notable characteristics.
At the same time, the power to control objects is another characteristic.
Not all Saker Falcons can awaken the power to control objects, but those that can are all powerful.
Listening to Li Sinian's explanation, Rong Heng frowned, "So... I'm also a bird like Jiujiu?"
Li Sinian wanted to nod, but looking at the lion ears on his son's head, he was unsure for a moment, "You possess two bloodline powers at the same time. The other comes from your mother."
Rong Heng nodded.
That being said, he could clearly feel that his ability to control objects had increased significantly recently, because the mental skills and techniques he practiced allowed him to control this power and not break the balance of the two bloodline forces in his body.
However, if this continues, the bloodline of the Saker Falcon may completely overwhelm the Red-tailed Lion.
"Alright, let me teach you how to control things first." Li Sinian returned to the point. "Only by mastering the power of the blood in your body can you avoid being controlled by it and ultimately affecting your character."
Hearing this, Rong Heng nodded again.
This is the same as what Su Su said. He felt that his cheap father seemed to be really something.
Then, he saw Li Sinian take out a box, and then took out a thumb-sized cube from it. After hesitating for a moment, he changed it to a mung bean-sized one.
"Try this one first." Li Sinian placed the mung bean cube in front of his son. "If it works, try the other one."
These were specially customized by the Li family for training the power of controlling objects. This material is very compatible with mental power and can better help guide the cubs on the path of controlling objects.
This mung bean block is probably used for training cubs under five years old, and this thumb block is for those under seven years old.
Considering that Rong Heng had not received any training since childhood, Li Sinian planned to practice with him using small cubes first, so as to avoid the child's self-esteem being damaged if he couldn't control himself at the beginning.
Rong Heng glanced at him, then looked at the two small cubes. With a thought, the two cubes floated up, and then floated steadily in the air, lying between the father and son.
Li Sinian, who was originally preparing to teach his son how to guide the power to control objects, had all his words stuck in his throat.
He opened his mouth, but in the end he could only clap his hands and said with a smile, "Very good, very good. It seems that you have mastered the power of controlling objects quite well."
Rong Heng remained silent. He felt that the two blocks seemed to be made of special material and were very easy to control, much easier than when he first started practicing controlling stones.
Then, Li Sinian took out a fist-sized cube.
This cube is used for training cubs under nine years old... Just as Li Sinian was about to speak, the cube he placed on the ground slowly floated up.
Along with the two blocks before, it floated in front of him.
Li Sinian paused and nodded again. He was naturally happy that his son was so talented, but he had to test his child's limits.
He then took out a brick-sized block, which was used for training children under twelve years old...
Similarly, after he put down the brick blocks, Rong Heng controlled the blocks to fly up, and the four blocks were suspended at the same time, and his expression still looked relaxed.
The corners of Li Sinian's mouth twitched. He was considered a genius in the family, but at the age of seven or eight, it was impossible for him to control so many objects at the same time.
And then, Rong Heng opened his eyes again.
He put the blocks floating in the air back into the box one by one, and then let the whole box hang in the air.
This was becoming a bit difficult for Rong Heng, but in the end, he managed to keep the box steady in mid-air.
Li Sinian was silent.
This standard... is close to adulthood.
The original blocks were meant to guide the cubs on the path to controlling objects, but after the age of nine, the materials used to make the blocks changed, and their properties became completely opposite to those of the previous stage.
Although it is small in size, it is a hundred times more difficult to move than ordinary objects of the same volume, so that better training effects can be achieved.
And now, Rong Heng has fully reached the standard of adulthood.
Li Sinian was shocked and relieved, but also felt a little disappointed. What a wonderful parent-child activity! However, was there nothing he could teach his son?
Of course not!
"Well, you did quite well! Let's move on to the next stage."
Li Sinian said, "We must not only learn to control objects in mid-air, but also make them move before we can use them in actual combat."
Just as he was about to analyze it further, he saw his son take out the small sword he had used to fight him when they first met, and then...
"call out--"
An extremely swift sound of breaking through the air was heard, and finally turned into a muffled sound. When Li Sinian looked over stiffly, the small sword had already pierced into the metal wall, leaving only the hilt moving.
"Is this what you said?" Rong Heng asked.
Li Sinian swallowed, wiped his face, and forced a smile. "Kid, did you figure all this out on your own?"
If that's the case... Li Sinian's heart trembled slightly, because their Haidongqing clan actually had such a talented heir.
However, Rong Heng shook his head and said, "These are all taught to me by Su Su."
Li Sinian stared at him blankly, "That breeder Su?"
"That's right." Rong Heng nodded.
Li Sinian was amazed. How could this be possible? In this interstellar world, how could there be someone with a deeper understanding of the power of controlling objects than their Li family?
However, Rong Heng's example was right in front of him, and he had no choice but to believe it.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Rong Heng asked politely, "If not, I'm going to start my training today."
Li Sinian was still a little dazed. Upon hearing this, he stood up and stepped away. Standing somewhere where he wouldn't disturb Rong Heng, he watched him practice from a distance, thinking...
Should he go and discuss this with the breeder Su?
After that, the cubs' lives returned to normal.
Although several adults came to the nursery, it didn't seem to have much impact on them. The biggest change was their diet for three meals a day.
Not only can they eat their fill, but they are also guaranteed to have vegetables and meat at every meal, making them feel like they are living in a dream every day.
No, that's not right. Life in dreams is not this interesting and fulfilling!
About a week later, the red fog in Base 24 was finally dispelled. That morning, when the cubs ran to the green space to play as usual, they heard unusual cries.
“Chirp—” “Chirp—”
Langze stopped and looked towards the chicken coop where the sound came from. Lu Jiao, who was following him, asked in confusion, "Did Jiujiu go to the coop?"
"Of course not! The chicks are hatching!"
Langze finally reacted, cheered, carried Zhengxing on his back and ran over.
Because there had been no activity in the chicken coop for many days, the chicks who used to go to watch the eggs hatching every day gradually lost interest.
Unexpectedly, some chicks actually hatched today!
Lu Jiao also hurriedly followed Langze and rushed into the chicken coop. When they came in, there was already someone inside.
"Brother Ayan!"
Langze shouted, then hurried over. Through the glass, he could see that there were two or three chicks in the device that had broken through their shells and were crawling out.
There are two chicks that hatched earlier than the others. The down on their bodies has dried up. Under the warm light, the yellow little chicks are so cute that they can melt your heart.
"Wow, so cute!" Lu Jiao stared at the chick with sparkling eyes.
This was the first time he witnessed the birth of life.
Zheng Xing, lying on Langze's back, also turned his face towards the little chicks. Although he couldn't see them, he could hear and feel them.
It was not the first time that Langze saw the chicks. After the initial surprise, he couldn't help but lie on the glass and count them.
After counting them over and over again, there were only five.
"Brother Ayan, can the other eggs also be hatched?" Langze asked.
A Yan nodded, "Of course."
Poultry in the interstellar age are no longer the same as those in ancient times. After countless generations of reproduction and genetic evolution, they can now basically reproduce through parthenogenesis, and have also overcome the genetic defect that parthenogenesis can only produce males.
Therefore, these eggs, whether fertilized or not, can hatch into chicks, but the physique of these chicks will be weaker than those born from natural breeding.
Apart from the fact that it takes some effort to raise them, other problems are not serious. And with A Yan here, taking care of these chicks is even easier.
"Let's go tell Wenwen and Yan Ya's mother!" Langze said.
In the brooding center, besides the chicks themselves, they are the ones who care the most about these chicks.
"good!"
So the three cubs rushed out of the chicken coop again, ready to tell everyone the good news.
However, Langze had just left the chicken coop and ran a few steps when he almost bumped into someone at the gate of the nursery.
