Chapter 104
Being blocked by Xisen was a complete surprise to Feng Ran. After all, she would never make such a naive mistake. It was just that a new model of the mainstream smart bracelet in the Empire had been released recently, and when she passed by the mall, Shen Shiqian insisted on buying it for her, saying that they could use a couple's version.
Feng Ran let him do as he pleased. In any case, these kinds of smart products were just repackaged versions of the same thing to her, and she completely ignored the risk of picking up the wrong one. Of course, she didn't suspect that Shen Shiqian was deliberately picking up the wrong one to shift the blame and create a cruel image for Feng Ran.
However, she was more concerned about Shen Shiqian's butt than being blocked by Xisen.
She's been in a better mood these past two days, which is rare. After watching a movie together, Shen Shiqian secretly booked a themed room at a couples' hotel. Although Feng Ran really wants to be a healthy person, sometimes Shen Shiqian's definition of "healthy" for her is a bit too one-sided.
Feng Ran even suspected that Shen Shiqian's butt pain was caused by wearing the electric tail himself, so much so that he had to pay an extra cleaning fee when checking out.
Feng Ran: "Baby, take off your pants and let me see."
Shen Shiqian wasn't coy at all; he just took off his clothes slowly, like he was performing a striptease. Feng Ran got annoyed by his deliberate teasing and pulled him off.
She reached out and pressed his most sensitive spot, saying expressionlessly, "Yes, it's okay. Just rest for a few days and apply some medicine."
Wet, slippery, and swollen, even the slightest stimulation was enough to make Shen Shiqian arch his back and bring himself in front of her. He pressed closer and closer, his abdomen feeling like it was on fire, and asked passionately, "Want to come in?"
Feng Ran's thoughts were drawn out as he slowly processed everything: "Hmm? Doesn't it hurt?"
Judging from his expression as he spread himself open, it was clear that he was more enjoying it than feeling pain. Shen Shiqian's pain threshold was higher than Feng Ran could have imagined. Even when he was stretched into a vertical slit, he was still so aroused. Compared to Fran, he seemed to be the one suffering from pheromone poisoning.
Fortunately, Feng Ran had developed some resistance to Shen Shiqian's behavior and would no longer be led astray by his excitement as before. He ruthlessly flipped him over and slapped him hard.
"Bend over, I'll apply the medicine for you."
She has been reflecting on how she managed to raise him to be like this. As soon as the door is closed, Shen Shiqian becomes a completely different person. When there is nothing important to do, three out of every five sentences he utters are about wanting to go to bed.
Shen Shiqian seemed to have mind-reading abilities, guessing what she was thinking. He turned back and leaned close to her, saying, "Ranran, you're the one who turned me into this. You have to take responsibility for me."
It takes two to tango. Feng Ran certainly felt that her will was not firm, but Shen Shiqian's flattery undoubtedly aggravated her condition. Sometimes, she would have nerve pain the next day as a sequela of excessive excitement. So Feng Ran slapped her hand harder the second time. With the interaction, she felt that her hand was going numb.
The medicine that had just been applied was squeezed out in a twisted manner, dripping onto the sheets with a viscous liquid, emitting a thick, sweet fragrance.
Feng Ran felt an inexplicable anger at this person's sudden outburst of sensitivity. Besides, this was the sixth piece of her pajamas to be ruined. She gritted her teeth and said, "I really have to control you, Shen Shiqian."
Thus, the trip ended with Shen Shiqian being educated, and the two of them leisurely returned to Qiliya.
Feng Ran was confident that his body would no longer have any problems, so he happily took the Kraken crystal into the laboratory. Perhaps because he had given Xiao Jiu too much nutrition during the vaccine development, it now looked like it had finally grown up a bit and could flip its original small water tank over with a single slap.
Fengran wasn't sure if it had crossed the normal growth stage of a living organism. It used to look silly and not very bright, but now that it had gained weight, it was incredibly cunning, and its eight tentacles seemed to be full of tricks.
Xiao Jiu didn't dare to act recklessly in front of Feng Ran, but turned around and wreaked havoc on other people and things in the house. This included, but was not limited to, hitting Xiao Lan's mechanical shell when it passed by, spinning the top in place and then shutting down the little robot. When Shen Shiqian was feeding it, if Feng Ran wasn't around, it would spit at the male owner. It would also frantically rummage around in the newly replaced large water tank, either smashing the tank on the ground or pushing it around with brute force, making a mess of water everywhere.
Shen Shiqian chose to ignore it, while Xiao Lan was miserable and kept sending error reports and complaints.
Feng Ran pulled Xiao Jiu out of the scratched water tank, brandishing a ceramic knife at its head: "What do you mean? Trying to rebel? Believe me or not, I'll rip your brains off!"
Little Nine's stats have also increased slightly since its body swelled up. During its last full scan, the number of neurons in its body had increased from less than 200 million to an astonishing 800 million. Feng Ran couldn't tell if it had entered adulthood yet, but according to the age distribution of normal organisms, it was already quite old, not to mention that octopuses are a short-lived species.
Then it suddenly dawned on her: "You wouldn't happen to be in your breeding season, would you?"
Xiao Jiu, who was being carried, knew very well who in this family she could mess with and who she couldn't, so she pretended to be stupid by hanging her tentacles and not moving.
The more Feng Ran looked, the more likely this seemed. He then opened the pictures and information of various aquariums in the empire, displaying all kinds of octopuses in front of Xiao Jiu. He said forcefully, "Choose one you like."
Although Xiao Jiu's status as a mutant species is illegitimate, its genes are indeed those of a true mutant species. As for how mutant species are born and reproduce, it remains a mystery to this day, and Feng Ran certainly wouldn't let go of any opportunity to explore all of this.
As for whether there is reproductive isolation when mating with a regular octopus, Feng Ran doesn't care. She wishes she could mate it with eight wives and have it lay a bunch of baby eggs, which she could then use as experimental subjects.
At this point, Xiao Jiu finally stopped pretending to be stupid and showed its amazing comprehension and intelligence. It directly used its tentacles to tap and swipe images on the terminal screen, and happily twisted around on the control panel.
Compared to reproduction, experimentation became secondary, so when Fengran was about to sink, he went to various aquariums to gather inspiration.
Shen Shiqian's tolerance for the increasingly unruly Xiao Jiu had already reached its limit, especially since Feng Ran allowed it to have free time every day for the sake of Xiao Jiu's mental health. When Shen Shiqian was making coffee in the morning, he saw it wiping its cup with its tentacles and felt like chopping off its tentacles.
When he heard that Feng Ran planned to raise eight more, he was almost paralyzed with fear, and even developed a resistance to aquariums. However, he never refused Feng Ran's requests, so even though he was reluctant, he still accompanied Feng Ran.
They should have come to the aquarium for a date, but Fengran was focused on the octopus enclosure, taking pictures of everything from every angle with his eagle-eye camera. He even asked the zookeeper if the octopuses in the enclosure had their optic glands removed.
After running around for several days, Feng Ran identified several targets and then excitedly took the pictures to Shen Shiqian for confirmation.
As for why I needed to confirm with him, it's because octopuses are highly intelligent creatures. If they need to have their optic glands removed to survive after reproduction, their living environment requirements will be very high. Therefore, Fengran needs to prepare a room similar to a small aquarium to raise them, and also needs to buy a lot of other small fish and creatures for them to eat and play with.
What Feng Ran showed him was nothing other than blueprints for the renovation of the house. The laboratory originally prepared for Feng Ran had already taken up a lot of space, and if they wanted to build a small aquarium, they would have to take over Shen Shiqian's beloved gym.
Shen Shiqian's way of resisting was also simple and brutal: "Ranran, we can buy a bigger house."
Their current home is a single-story house that Shen Shiqian bought when he was living alone. Actually, they should have considered moving to a new house after getting engaged, because Feng Ran said that he felt quite comfortable living in the old Shen family house. So Shen Shiqian had planned to move to a small duplex with a courtyard when they got married. Now it's been forced to be put on the agenda.
Feng Ran: "Then what about my fish?"
Shen Shiqian held her down: "It's not too late to go in later. If Xiao Jiu has too much energy right now, then we should control her."
Like him.
Feng Ran failed to grasp the resentment in Shen Shiqian's words and bluntly said, "Isn't that too cruel to it?"
Shen Shiqian hugged her, his tone coaxing and pleading: "But I want to prepare all of this properly. I have many wishes that I want to fulfill with you. I will be very sad if there are any flaws in the new home."
While enjoying his dependence, Feng Ran also felt it was sticky and troublesome. She pushed him but couldn't budge him. Biting her lip, she still had no intention of giving up easily.
Shen Shiqian: "Didn't you originally plan to study its interaction with the crystal nucleus first? It would be bad if reproduction affected the energy and caused a change in the regeneration rate."
Feng Ran clapped his hands, successfully convinced: "That makes sense! Let's do the experiment first!"
Very timely and appropriate, Little Pink dragged Little Blue, who had been shut down again, to seek help from humans, successfully provoking Feng Ran's dissatisfaction.
Shen Shiqian continued in a coquettish tone, "You really should teach it a lesson."
Feng Ran: "Okay, okay, I understand."
She hooked her arm around Shen Shiqian's neck and gave him a light kiss on the lips. Before going to educate the octopus, she instructed him, "You also need to discuss the preparations for the new home with me. I want to be involved, and if there are any elements I don't like, I'll be very difficult to deal with."
Shen Shiqian smiled gently: "Of course."
Then, seeing Feng Ran storming towards the lab, he said as he walked, "Is it time for us to go out for a break? You're up to rebel! You bastard, I'll tear your tentacles off!"
For a moment, Xiaofen's screen showed static, and Xing Tong appeared on it: "You're quite malicious."
Shen Shiqian casually restarted Xiao Lan's device, still wearing the gentle smile he had when Feng Ran left: "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh, can I entrust the task of collecting information regarding the location and layout of the new house to you?"
Xing Tong performed a spinning shutdown for him.
Provocation! This is absolutely a provocation!
