Lu Yao was slightly taken aback, but she quickly understood what Xie Linyu and Fu Ciyan meant.

If, in the doctrines of the Procreation Cult, the "Saintess" is the symbol of supreme power, an existence that believers are willing to serve with their lives, then those believers hidden throughout the Federation will become her most loyal followers.

This is actually a very good opportunity for her if she wants to have a voice against the federal leadership.

However, "this is not quite what I originally expected."

Her initial idea was to strengthen herself and improve her reputation in the Federation, so that those who had designs on her would not dare to target her recklessly.

But then I thought, as her fame grows and she rises higher, it's inevitable that some people will see her and even become her followers.

Just like idol stars, there will always be a group of fans who are willing to pay for their dreams.

Xie Linyu sat down next to her and put his arm around her: "I know you never wanted to become a 'Saintess,' but now that woman named Lin Xi has been able to find you, it means they've been paying attention. Rather than letting them lurk in the shadows, it's better for you to guide them."

"Lin Yu is right." Fu Ciyan continued, "Although the Procreation Cult has done many crazy things in the past, most of its remnants are just pitiful people who have been brainwashed by its doctrines. They have an almost obsessive obsession with procreation, but they cannot conceive naturally and can only live in painful fantasies."

"You are the 'saint' they have been waiting for for half a century. Your appearance is a salvation for them. If you are willing, you can guide their fanaticism in the right direction."

"Of course, everything is based on your wishes. If you can't accept it, that's fine too. No one will dare to force you to accept them. Yaoyao, you can do whatever you want. This is something I told you a long time ago."

Lu Yao knew that Fu Ciyan and Xie Linyu were telling her these things simply to give her more options.

She is not an ungrateful person.

Lu Yao nodded silently: "I will consider it seriously. Give me some time."

The little sesame in her arms seemed to sense her emotional fluctuations, nuzzled her palm with its head, and let out a soft "meow".

She looked down at the little life, scarred yet still struggling to live, and suddenly understood.

Those who believe in procreation are probably like this stray kitten. In this world where reproduction is endangered, they desperately crave procreation in their own way, only to be disappointed time and time again, and in the end, they can only find solace in their doctrines.

She not only wants to use them as her own strength, but also to guide them back to the right path.

Accepting them means taking responsibility.

Can she do it?

Just as Lu Yao was considering this matter, Fu Ciyan had just finished preparing dinner when there was a knock on the door.

Xie Linyu got up and walked over, looking at the deliveryman outside the door through the webcam, then turned to look at the two people inside: "Did either of you buy anything?"

Lu Yao shook her head.

Fu Ciyan placed the food he was carrying on the table: "No."

Upon hearing this, Xie Linyu muttered, "Who is that?"

The deliveryman opened the door and presented Xie Linyu with a huge bouquet of what appeared to be 999 red roses: "Hello, is this Ms. Lu Yao's home? These flowers are from Mr. Li Muyan, and he hopes she will like them."

After saying that, the deliveryman shoved the huge bouquet of flowers into Xie Linyu's arms.

Xie Linyu was forced to accept such a large bouquet of red roses. He wanted to say something, but the deliveryman had already turned and left.

Xie Linyu turned around and looked at Lu Yao sitting at the dining table: "Yao Yao, these are flowers that Li Muyan gave you."

Lu Yao, who was initially taken aback by the large bouquet of flowers, paused slightly, "Huh?"

Obviously, she didn't expect to receive such a large bouquet of flowers from Li Muyan out of the blue.

Xie Linyu placed the large bouquet of flowers on the coffee table in the living room: "I knew it, this kid had ulterior motives."

Lu Yao's wrist terminal vibrated. Opening it, she saw a message from Li Muyan: "[When I finished work tonight, I saw some beautiful new roses at the florist. I'm giving them to Miss Lu Yao as a token of my gratitude for inviting me to dinner the other day. I hope Miss Lu Yao doesn't mind. I just feel that only red roses are worthy of your noble bearing.]"

"What did he say?" Fu Ciyan sat down beside her and asked, his tone indifferent and devoid of emotion.

Lu Yao handed the light screen to him: "He said it was to thank me for inviting him to dinner that day."

"Just an excuse." Xie Linyu pulled out a chair and sat down on Lu Yao's other side. "Yaoyao, you can't be attracted by his fancy tricks. People in the media are masters of these kinds of tactics. Li Muyan isn't a good person. Don't let his appearance fool you; I've heard he has a wide social circle. Although he hasn't been in a relationship yet, who can guarantee he doesn't have a mistress or something?"

Hearing this, Lu Yao was somewhat surprised: "He hasn't been matched either?"

She had looked at Li Muyan's information. He was 25 years old. If he were to be matched normally at that age, he would have at least seven times. However, he had never been matched even once. She found that men with superior genes seemed to be less willing to accept walking marriage. Fu Ciyan was like that, Xie Linyu was like that, Zhou Jinlu was an exception, and she did not expect that Li Muyan would be the same.

"It's not that he didn't have any matches, but rather that he rejected the people he was matched with because he felt they weren't suitable," Fu Ciyan explained, clearly indicating that he had known about Li Muyan for a long time.

"Heh, he's quite picky," Xie Linyu joked casually. "Anyway, when Yaoyao is with him, you'd better be on your guard and don't let him outsmart you. He's a sly fox."

Xie Linyu spoke while putting food into Lu Yao's bowl.

Lu Yao chuckled and glanced at Xie Linyu, who was full of vigilance. "I understand. Thank you for your concern."

"Don't be shy, eat more."

After dinner, Lu Yao followed Fu Ciyan back to the room. After closing the door, Fu Ciyan hugged Lu Yao from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder: "Want to take a shower together?"

Fu Ciyan's warm breath brushed against Lu Yao's sensitive neck, instantly turning her ear tips a light red. She tilted her head slightly to meet Fu Ciyan's deep black eyes.

Those eyes held an undisguised longing, yet they restrained themselves, relinquishing control to her.

She knew very well that Fu Ciyan's invitation to take a bath was not a simple one.

Meeting his dark eyes, which were full of restraint yet held a hint of expectation, Lu Yao felt that she didn't want to refuse.

She nodded gently, and before she could speak, Fu Ciyan had already picked her up and strode towards the bathroom.
