It’s not too late now?
Ji Xinghuo found it incredible. The child was about to be born, how could his current genes be inherited? He couldn’t help but look at Ye Zhen’s belly, his eyes scanning up and down, showing a bit of difficulty and some anticipation on his face.
"What dirty things are you thinking about?" Ye Zhen teased with a slightly flushed face.
Ji Xinghuo immediately shook his head, "Absolutely nothing!"
Seeing his firm denial, Ye Zhen was also helpless and said seriously, "You know I fused with the plant protoplasm, which allows me to graft plant abilities onto myself without expanding strange objects."
"Yes." Ji Xinghuo nodded.
The plant protoplasm is a Solar Eclipse Ability, in addition to grafting abilities, it has extremely strong amplification effects on all plant abilities.
Ye Zhen continued, "Over the past two years, I’ve grafted over twenty plant Alien Species."
As she spoke, the peach blossom mark on her brow bloomed, emitting a fragrance. Her eyes were like flower buds, black hair turned into green strands, and tender branches sprouted on her shoulders, blossoming into a sea of flowers.
Her arms, fingertips, legs, and body all grew various plants, each possessing different powers.
It looked dreamlike, her whole body full of surging vitality.
Ji Xinghuo immediately thought of Ye Zhen’s nickname.
Before retiring, the first generation global goddess was called "Green Sovereign of Hundred Flowers." At this moment, the title was well-deserved, she seemed like the mythical "Green Emperor," "Spring God," or "God of Hundred Flowers."
Within the electromagnetic induction, Ye Zhen’s electromagnetic field became extremely unique.
Although she was only at the Legendary Second Dan, she posed a greater threat than many Heavenly King Level powerhouses.
Ji Xinghuo commented in his heart.
The Plant Witch was originally the profession template with the most diverse methods. As long as there was an appropriate plant medium and ability, it could be almost omnipotent; combining with the plant protoplasm was like adding wings to a tiger, no longer needing to use a medium.
According to the standards of the True Dragon Dynasty, Ye Zhen’s potential was sufficient to enter the Hidden Dragon Series, possibly even higher.
Because she possessed two Solar Eclipse Abilities.
"Reincarnation" increased her lifespan tenfold over Mutants of the same level, enabling her to live for thousands of years, advancing to Shepherd Star Saint was almost a certainty.
Ye Zhen’s face smiled like a blooming flower, "Actually, I’m no longer purely human, but half human, half plant."
Ji Xinghuo said while feeling a bit strange inside.
Though he wasn’t afraid of cross-racial romance, thinking of future interactions with a half-plant being, and having a child, something felt off.
"Not just beautiful." Ye Zhen lightly laughed, "When I grafted a ’Fertility Mother Tree,’ it not only accelerated plant reproduction growth, but also granted me unique nurturing abilities, allowing me to conceive your child."
Ji Xinghuo suddenly understood, "So that’s how it is."
No wonder the pregnancy happened so quickly.
"While pregnant, I continuously provided nutrients to the children through the Fertility Mother Tree, optimizing their genes and talents." Ye Zhen stroked her belly, with a gentle look, emanating maternal radiance.
Ji Xinghuo then realized why she felt tired and held her hand.
Ye Zhen smiled at him, "As long as the children haven’t been born, I can continue optimizing their genetic talents. Of course, I can only collect genes from myself or from you, the father, not from anyone else."
"What should I do?" Ji Xinghuo curiously asked.
"I need you to provide some blood."
Ye Zhen said, "Additionally, it might require drawing some of your life force. Theoretically, the more the better, as it’ll be more beneficial to the children, but it has to be within what you can handle without harming your essence."
"No problem, take as much as you like." Ji Xinghuo didn’t hesitate at all, "You can withdraw as much as you want."
Ye Zhen couldn’t help but laugh seeing his righteous expression.
The leaves and flowers on her body retracted, as if time reversed, returning from full bloom to buds, the branches shrank and soon disappeared.
At the same time, her verdant index finger quickly elongated into a green vine, hollow inside, with a sharp needle-like tip, like a venomous snake coiling around Ji Xinghuo’s arm, searching for a spot to bite.
Ji Xinghuo controlled the Flow Barrier not to trigger, letting the muscles on his forearm soften, reducing the defense power.
He pointed at the vein, "Stick it here."
The vine needle punctured fiercely, with precision.
The extremely tough vine needle broke, not even leaving a mark on Ji Xinghuo’s skin.
Ye Zhen’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
She knew very well how powerful her vine needle was, easily piercing steel plates, yet it couldn’t even scratch Ji Xinghuo’s skin.
So she regrew the vine, tried several times, but still couldn’t penetrate the skin, let alone draw blood.
"What Alien Species did you fuse with to have such terrifying defense power?" Ye Zhen couldn’t help but ask.
Ji Xinghuo was also a bit helpless.
The defense power of the Titanium Cobalt Magnet Body was inherently extremely strong; thanks to it, the Titanium Cobalt Dragon roamed imperiously, further amplified by the Ancestor Dragon Vein and Electromagnetic Polarization, it rose to the Fifth Level, strengthening his body to unimaginable limits.
Though he tried his best to weaken the defense, even at the lowest level, it wasn’t something Ye Zhen’s vine could penetrate.
"Let me do it myself."
Ji Xinghuo’s left fingertips transformed, the nails becoming sharp like knives, slicing his right forearm, emitting sparks and electric glow, finally cutting a few centimeters long wound, exposing the vein, but no blood flowed out.
