Kiana Decides to Charge In, Baby and All! / The Doctor: "I'm Losing It!"
If I had known beforehand that it would be a fatal blow, I definitely wouldn't have let Ling Xi leave any evidence. Instead, I would have protected Yi Shi, after all...
I'm really not ready right now...

Chapter 712 Kiana decides to charge forward with the ball!
Kiana remained silent; she wasn't ready to accept this fact, but...
She didn't want to lose it, after all, it was the result of her and Captain Ling Xi's efforts. You know, Dr. Mobius, Sister Sakura and the others, especially the two from the Yae family, tried all sorts of methods to get infected, including traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine and even metaphysics, but unfortunately, none of them worked.
And I, on the other hand, obtained what they wanted but could not have without lifting a finger!
In addition, Kiana was also worried about another problem: what if she was just lucky to be caught this time? If that was the case, what if she didn't seize the opportunity this time and couldn't have it again in the future?
If that's the case, I'll regret it for the rest of my life.
So...
Or should we just let things take their course? As for taking care of the child, we can leave it to Mom. Besides, Ling Xi has so many sisters, there's bound to be someone who can take care of the child.
"Bianca, if you don't want to, then forget it."
Seeing that Kiana had been thinking for so long, Ling Xi knew that the girl was struggling with her decision. She probably didn't want it, but she was afraid that she would upset him. So Ling Xi decisively let Kiana decide for herself.
Although Ling Xi would naturally feel it would be a great pity to eliminate it, but...
Ling Xi didn't want to force Kiana to do something she didn't want to do.
"My dear daughter, it's your decision, and you don't have to answer now."
Cecilia naturally wanted to stay, but it ultimately depended on Kiana's decision.
"Hmm... I think it's a good idea."
Mobius then laughed and said, "However, I suggest we wait two more months before executing this order. By the third month, it will be suitable for research, as it won't be considered to have consciousness. It will be a good research subject. If you don't want it, you might as well give it to me."
Mobius was quite interested. If Crimson Seele was pregnant, and he dared not touch her because she was a rare find, then... he could try to use Kiana's for research. After all, the girl didn't want it, so he might as well use it to make a contribution.
"Don't... don't even think about it!"
As soon as Mobius finished speaking, Kiana hid behind Ling Xi and snorted, "Who said I don't want it? I... I want it, and nobody can touch my baby, not even the Doctor."
"Okay, okay, never mind."
Mobius simply shrugged and laughed, "In that case, you can come back to live at my house from now on. And remember to come here regularly for check-ups. After all, the early stages are very important. If something goes wrong, all your efforts might be in vain."
"Yes, my dear daughter."
Cecilia laughed and said, "You've been away from home for two years. Why don't you come back this time? It'll be more convenient at home, won't it? What do you say, my dear son-in-law?"
In closing, Cecilia glanced at Ling Xi one last time.
"Yes, that's right."
Ling Xi quickly added, "Kiana, don't go back this time. Besides, your mother-in-law is right. It's much more convenient to do things at home. If you stay at the St. Freya Academy, there will be no one to take care of you."
Ling Xi certainly hoped that Kiana would stay at home, whether at Cecilia's house or her own. If Kiana hadn't encountered this situation, the girl could have taken good care of herself.
After all, in the original story, this girl started wandering alone at the age of twelve and spent several years on her own. In the Sky Chapter after the Queen's Arrival, she also took good care of herself, although the class monitor deserves some credit, but...
Kiana isn't just herself anymore; she's carrying a ball!
It's only been a month, and this girl is already showing signs of it. If it goes on any longer, forget about participating in Valkyrie battles; she'll probably have problems even with slightly more strenuous activity. So...
Ling Xi was determined to keep Kiana.
"Hmm... okay."
Fortunately, although Kiana can be a bit reckless at times, she still knows what's important in situations like this. She readily agreed to everyone's suggestion, however...
"Captain, then... let's leave Bronya and Mei here too. We're not learning anything at the academy anyway, so let them stay as well."
At this moment, Kiana also thought of her two good friends, Bronya and Mei. Bronya probably doesn't need much explanation, since that girl's house is right next door, but Mei...
Kiana really hoped Mei could stay too, after all...
The headquarters, in terms of resources and everything else, is far better than St. Freya Academy.
"Bronya will definitely stay."
As soon as Kiana finished speaking, Bronya chimed in, laughing, "After all, Bronya would be very bored without you, you idiot."
"Ugh, Bronya, do you want to fight?"
Kiana was immediately annoyed. "I'm clearly so smart, why do you call me an idiot?"
"Ha, you got someone pregnant and didn't even know it, what else can you call yourself but an idiot?"
However, Kiana's rebuttal was met with Bronya's merciless mockery...
"You... Humph!"
Kiana wanted to refute it, but found herself somewhat powerless to do so, after all, it was the truth...
"Mei, what about you?"
Kiana then decisively decided to ignore Bronya and turned to look at Mei.
"I..."
Mei hesitated, after all, she didn't have a home here. Although she was temporarily staying at Ling Xi's house, she couldn't stay there indefinitely, and besides...
Judging from Kiana's appearance, she'll probably have to stay at home for at least two years. Does that mean I'll have to stay at headquarters for two years too?
"Mei, stay."
Just then, Elysia suddenly leaned in and said with a smile, "How can you bear to abandon your best friend? I'll be so sad."
Mei: "..." Who's your best friend?
But...
Elysia wasn't entirely wrong. After all, Kiana and Bronya were indeed her best friends right now. If they both stayed, and she went back to the St. Freya Academy alone...
"Okay, I... will stay for now."
In the end, Mei agreed. She had no choice; if Kiana and Bronya weren't around, she really wouldn't know what to do, so...
Since Kiana and Bronya have both chosen to stay at Schicksal Headquarters, I'll stay too.
After all, there's no point in staying at the St. Freya Academy, while staying at Schicksal Headquarters would be very helpful for my growth. Besides...
Mei glanced at Ling Xi furtively. Hmm... staying at headquarters is indeed a good idea...
Chapter 713 Doctor: I'm mentally collapsing!
"Hehe, yay!"
Kiana happily hugged Mei. Although her mother took care of her at home, she really felt a little uncomfortable being away from Mei.
"Alright, but I need to go back to the St. Freya Academy first."
Mei smiled and said, "After all, we have to tell the headmaster, and the things are still at Himeko's house."
"Of course, I also need to go back and get something."
Kiana nodded in agreement. Besides, she had some things left at Himeko's house, and since she had decided to go home, she naturally needed to bring her things back, after all...
If nothing unexpected happens, I probably won't be living at the St. Freya Academy anymore in the future.
Bronya agrees!
Bronya had no objections either.
"Then I'll go with you."
Ling Xi also offered to go along. If it were before, she could at most take them to the airport and then go home to be with Seele, but now... Ling Xi was a little reluctant to let Kiana go, so naturally she wanted to go and help.
"Yes, it's approved!"
Kiana agreed without hesitation. Of course, she was getting free luggage porters; why not take advantage of it?
And so, the issue of Kiana carrying the ball was temporarily resolved.
Ling Xi opened a spatial wormhole to send Bronya back to continue the assessment, and then opened another spatial wormhole to send his mother-in-law and her family back home. Finally, everyone dispersed.
"Why..."
Only Ling Xi, Mobius, Klein, and Elysia remained in the laboratory, and it was Mobius who was sighing.
"Why... why?"
At this moment, Mobius felt his mentality was about to explode. After all, he had worked so hard for so long without any results. He was already feeling bad because of Seele, but at least he could understand Seele's situation!
After all that Ling Xi and Crimson Seele went through, it was only natural that they would eventually get together, but...
How could that white fluffy ball of fur be able to kill me in one shot? I was the one who arrived first, and for such a long time—a full 55,000 years! And yet, I never imagined it would end like this...
I'm so unwilling to accept this!
"Hey, don't be sad, Mobius..."
Elysia patted Mobius on the shoulder and smiled slightly, "You're first, I'm second, we... are all the same."
"Get out..."
Mobius pursed his lips, not wanting to talk to this vixen. If it weren't for this fox spirit opening a door for Ling Xi back then, none of this trouble would have happened. And now...
Sigh, one's hair color represents one's stance.
"Um... Doctor."
Ling Xi was also at a loss for words. This... it felt like it was her fault!
However, I've tried my best with both the Doctor and Elysia, but they just haven't caught the virus, and there's nothing I can do about it.
"Go away, I don't want to see you..."
Mobius no longer wanted to pay attention to Ling Xi, at least... for the time being.
Ling Xi was embarrassed...
"Doctor, this might be an opportunity."
Klein calmly analyzed, "Originally, we only Seele, and because the sample was too singular, we couldn't find many clues. But now that we have Bianca, we can conduct comparative experiments on the genes of the two of them and then find the key factors."
"Don't think about it..."
Mobius pursed his lips. While the differences between human genes are extremely small, at the microscopic level, these tiny differences are infinitesimally large, and...
Even if we find the gene that shows a difference, there's still the possibility of mutation. Perhaps the change was caused by a specific mutation...
Although Mobius was a genius, and she herself believed she was a genius, she felt the probability of this was low, since it wasn't just a matter of science, but also a matter of luck.
If you're lucky enough to find the right mutation, this matter can be resolved quickly, but if you're unlucky, then... it might not be resolved even by the end of the world.
Therefore, this method can be used as a side quest, something to study whenever you have free time. But to truly crack Ling Xi's secret, you'll need to find another way.
Furthermore, Mobius felt that directly seizing the power of the Imaginary Tree and then modifying Ling Xi to make her and others able to conceive was more likely than the exhaustive method of comparing genetic differences, after all...
If the former succeeds in seizing power, then the rest is definitely achievable, but the latter... who knows if it's even possible?
"Honey, say something! Don't you have anything to say?"
Elysia smiled and hugged Ling Xi, asking if Ling Xi had anything to say, and said with a smile, "After all, this is your responsibility."
"Huh? What should I say then?"
Ling Xi was also helpless at this moment. After all, she hadn't treated everyone differently. Although there were some differences in the shares given to everyone, they shouldn't be related, right?
"Well..."
Elysia smiled slightly and said, "Ling Xi, you can say this: starting today, I promise to only come to see the most adorable Elysia and the smartest Dr. Mobius, and I promise not to go to anyone else until they are pregnant."
Ling Xi "..."
Ling Xi's face immediately darkened, but she didn't refute it. She laughed and said, "Okay, I can say that, but... if someone gets ganged up on, I won't help you."
"Hmph, so you're planning to betray me? That's irresponsible of you."
Elysia pouted, her face clearly showing her unhappiness.
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around, Elysia."
Ling Xi smiled helplessly and hugged Elysia tightly. "I will work hard, but you guys have to work hard too, Elysia."
