"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?"

Extremely shocked, Yuan Zhixia couldn't help but lower her voice and whispered to Xiao Shui Xingjun beside her: "Didn't I tell you not to hide it from the lawyer!"

"I didn't expect them to be able to dig it out! This shouldn't happen! I have erased the memories of all the construction workers and set up restrictions outside the cave."

Xiaoshui Xingjun was so confused that he had no time to pay attention to the disrespectful tone of a mere mortal, and his hands couldn't stop shaking.

Although the great figures in the world of cultivation throughout history have more or less had some quirks, there are many who sleep with their own pet spirits, sword spirits, weapon spirits, and earthbound spirits, and even marry them.

But it is still somewhat shocking to mix it with the untransformed, five-meter-tall mythical beast.

Even if you master the ability to transform into a wild beast, that would be fine.

“.”

At this point, Yuan Zhixia pinched her palm with her fingernails, forced herself to calm down, stood up and said to the judge expressionlessly: "Your Honorable Judge, I want to protest! The evidence presented by the opposing lawyer involves matters that are not controversial in this case, and have no logical connection with the plaintiff's claims."

Zhang Wei also realized at this time, yes, it is a bit immoral for Xiaoshui Xingjun to be involved with the Qilin mythical beast, and it is both affectionate and perverted to build a luxurious villa for Qilin alone.

But the law doesn’t say this is illegal!

"That's right."

Zhang Wei found the legal book from under the table, turned the page quickly, stood up and said: "According to the Xianting Animal Protection Law, the Thunder Qilin is listed as a first-class protected animal in the human world, and illegal hunting, killing, purchasing, transporting, selling, imprisoning, and enslaving are strictly prohibited.

Heaven and earth can bear witness that Xiaoshui Xingjun treated Xuan Lei Qilin very well and did not violate any laws."

Extraordinary auspicious animals like the Qilin and the Xuanniao are all very intelligent. Some mythical animals are even smarter than ordinary people.

When Xiaoshui Xingjun brought Qilin back to the sect a hundred years ago, he had already completed the formalities and signed a labor contract with Qilin. He "hired" Qilin as a mountain guardian beast in the name of Xiaoshui Sect, so it was not really a crime.

"Young people should not be too impetuous,"

Haiye, who was sitting in the plaintiff's seat, looked at Zhang Wei and laughed, "You are also a lawyer, right? I am more familiar with the law than you are.

The act of Xiaoshui Xingjun making the Xuanlei Qilin pregnant is, to some extent, equivalent to imprisoning the intelligent Qilin larva for ten years. It can also be sentenced to a term of more than three years but less than ten years. "

The old ones are the wisest. As the assistant of a legendary lawyer, Haye easily caught Zhang Wei like a chicken and continued calmly: "The third point, and the most important one, is the photo."

Haye turned his head and looked at his companion beside him. Zhongtian Beiji understood what he meant and took out a stack of photos from his arms and showed them in the air.

It was a human child about three years old, with antlers on his head, golden scales covering his cheeks, shoulders and backs of his hands. He was wearing an elegant robe and a longevity lock around his neck. He was extremely cute.

He is 60% similar to Xiaoshui Xingjun, and strangely, he is also somewhat similar to Miaoyin Jushi.

Zhongtian Beiji said in a clear voice: "During the recess, we specially consulted the Beast Taming Alliance, which has the deepest knowledge of strange beasts in the human world. The experts told us that ancient books say that there is no reproductive isolation between Qilin and humans.

But there is a reproductive isolation mechanism called hybrid decay. It is difficult for the offspring to survive.”

There are many situations of reproductive isolation in organisms, and hybrids cannot survive. When Austrian flax is hybridized with perennial flax, the hybrid embryo can develop, but the seeds cannot germinate and the hybrid cannot survive.

Hybrid infertility - a mule born from a horse with chromosome 64 and a donkey with chromosome 63 is infertile.

Hybrid failure - hybrids of upland cotton and Hawaiian cotton will produce shrunken seeds, failure to germinate, failure to unfold cotyledons, and abnormal development. Most ligers and tigons bred in zoos are unhealthy and unstable, which can also be considered hybrid failure.

Zhongtian Beiji chuckled and said, “From the photos, the child is very healthy and has not been affected by hybrid decay.

The reason is very simple. Fifteen years ago, the relationship between Xiaoshui Xingjun and Miaoyin Jushi had not yet broken down.

He deliberately used his own genetic material, that of Xuanlei Qilin, and that of Miaoyin Jushi, and combined them to give birth to a healthy half-human, half-Qilin baby.

This is the genetic test report."

ah?

ah!

ah?!?!

From the group of girlfriends in the plaintiff's seat, to the clerks under the stage, the judges on the stage, to Yuan Zhixia and Zhang Wei in the defendant's seat, all were dumbfounded and so shocked that they couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Even the usually calm and silent An Falcon couldn't help but take out a cigarette from his backpack and lit it up.

"This, this, this, biology doesn't exist?!"

Zhang Wei grabbed his hair frantically, "It's irrational, it's impossible."

“It’s actually possible.”

In the plaintiff's seat, the humanoid computer Ada stood up and said calmly: "Plants are generally cross-family hybrids.

In the animal kingdom, there are cases of cross-order hybridization, cross-class hybridization, and even cross-phylum hybridization.

For example, the purple sea urchin of the phylum Echinodermata can indeed produce offspring with the blue clams of the phylum Mollusca, the two-toothed perinectin of the phylum Annelida, and certain sea snails.

Sea urchins provide eggs, and other non-sea urchin animals (shellfish, tunicates) provide sperm. The sperm activates the eggs to initiate division, and the eggs adjust the number of chromosomes on their own, which is equivalent to parthenogenesis in a sense.

But in some cases, some of the genetic material of the sperm can be mixed into the offspring, causing varying degrees of impact on the appearance and behavior of the young.

The same principle applies to the nine sons of a dragon, each one is different.”

Can the nine sons of a dragon be explained in this way?

Zhang Wei felt that his brain had undergone a passive upgrade. Emotionally, he didn't want to agree with Ada, but rationally he had to admit that this was a possibility.

It seems that in various literary and artistic works, whether it is an Eastern dragon or a Western dragon, they are all civilized because of the dominance of their genes, and can always combine with different creatures to produce all kinds of strange offspring.

"In order to further verify this, we specially invited Xuanlei Qilin and the child in the photo to come over."

Zhongtian Beiji said to the presiding judge: "We request the presence of witnesses."

In civil proceedings, before a lawyer applies for the attendance of a witness, he or she must submit an "Application for Witness Appearance in Court to Testify" to the court. However, if there are objective reasons why the application cannot be made within the evidence submission period, it can also be submitted in court.

Zhongtian Beiji and others deliberately hid a trick in order to catch the defendant by surprise.

"You can attend."

After a moment's thought, the judge nodded and waved his hand.

Two giant bailiffs, who were enjoying the feast, took bold steps and opened the door.

I saw the golden and brilliant Qilin squatting outside the door, with the mixed-race baby on its back.

"Sir,"

As soon as he saw Xiaoshui Xingjun, Xuan Lei Qilin showed a human-like anxious expression on his face, and said in human language, "I heard from my wife that you were in trouble and asked me to bring the baby to find you--"

Halfway through his words, Qilin noticed Miaoyin Jushi and Xiaoshui Xingjun sitting on either side of the plaintiff's seat, and was instantly stuck.

".Sit down first and talk."

Xiaoshui Xingjun's face was pale and he tried hard to force a bitter smile.

Zhongtian Beiji was right. This child was indeed born from a mixture of genetic materials from three parties.

Because he loved her so much, he specially found a secluded cave in the mountains and arranged puppet servants so that Qilin could rest in peace and recuperate after giving birth. He did not even inform Qilin about this matter.

In the end, Zhongtian Beiji was deceived into coming here with just a few words.

Qilin carefully squeezed into the back row and asked anxiously, "Sir, did I do something wrong?"

The little baby on the Qilin's back was surrounded by lightning and thunder. He held the bottle in one hand and waved his fist with the other hand. "I will beat anyone who dares to bully my daddy."

"You did nothing wrong, I was wrong."

At this point, Xiao Shui Xingjun had almost given up and looked at the lawyers in the plaintiff's seat, "Tell me, what conditions do you want."

“We act in accordance with laws and regulations.”

Howard grinned and said, "According to Article 9 of the "Several Opinions of the Fairy Court on the Monk Court's Trial of Cases of Cohabitation as Husband and Wife without Marriage Registration", illegitimate children enjoy the same rights as legitimate children.

When dissolving an illegal cohabitation relationship, both parties shall negotiate custody rights. If the negotiation fails, a judgment shall be made based on the interests of the children and the specific circumstances of both parties.

In principle, children during the breastfeeding period should be raised by their mother.

Considering that the Qilin is a first-class protected animal under the law, it is not subject to the Marriage Protection Law.

Therefore, this child who used the genetic material of Miaoyin laywoman should be considered an illegitimate child born to Miaoyin laywoman and Xiaoshui Xingjun during their cohabitation relationship.

And because the child is still in the breastfeeding period, Miaoyin should be given full custody of the child."

Howard couldn't hide his pride and continued, "According to Article 25 of the Marriage Law, the biological father or mother who does not directly raise an illegitimate child shall bear the living expenses and education expenses of the child until the child reaches adulthood or can live independently.

The Qilin clan's adulthood period is approximately four to five hundred years.

In other words, the defendant has to pay the plaintiff four or five hundred years of child support."

call.

Xiao Shui Xingjun slowly exhaled a breath of foul air. He didn't know that in the real world on Earth, the two main reasons why the American middle class degenerates into street homeless people are divorce and paying alimony.

But this did not affect his understanding of the other party's intentions.

As a father, he could not abandon his child to Miaoyin, a "stepmother" who had no feelings for him and was even full of malice. He could only try to negotiate for custody.

Xiaoshui Xingjun waved his hand to reject Zhang Wei's interruption and said weakly: "How much do you want?"

The four lawyers on the opposite side looked at each other in bewilderment, and Haiye came forward to say: "The first property division plan is to divide 51% of the shares of Xiaoshui Zong Commercial Group to Miaoyin Lay Buddhist, and Miaoyin Lay Buddhist will obtain custody and receive alimony equivalent to 100,000 spirit stones every year.

The second property style plan is to divide 90% of the shares of Xiaoshui Zong Commercial Group to Miaoyin Jushi, and Xiaoshui Xingjun will obtain custody rights. "

The so-called shares are just a euphemism in court.

The Xiaoshui clan is a wealthy and powerful family. In addition to their obvious industries, they also have a large amount of wealth that is beyond supervision.

For example, the dividends from casinos and Qinlouchuguan, the tributes from the sects below, the unlicensed black spirit stone mines

Miaoyin has been Xiaoshui's business partner for hundreds of years and is well aware of these invisible fortunes. She wants 90%, which really means 90% of all the wealth.

Seeing their employer's resigned expression, Yuan Zhixia and Zhang Wei almost shouted, "We were ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?"

An Falcon put out the cigarette in his hand and rarely spoke to persuade: "If you lose the custody of the child, you can have another one, but if you lose the money, it's gone for real."

Xiaoshui glanced at him slowly, lifted the hair beside her ears, revealing her hidden graying temples, "Do you really think I can still be reborn?"

Dark Falcon coughed and said, "Uh, just pretend I didn't say anything."

The more powerful a cultivator is, the harder it is for him to give birth to offspring. Xiaoshui worked hard and made progress in his early years, exploring various ancient secrets and suffering countless hidden injuries.

The ability to have a child in old age is largely due to the powerful genetic affinity of the auspicious Qilin.

If the money is gone, it’s gone. If the descendants are gone, they’re gone too.

".Tsk."

Zhang Wei smacked his lips with a complicated expression. Before he became a player in the real world, he had been a third-rate lawyer.

Can help clients change from detention to fixed-term imprisonment,

A fixed term is changed to an indefinite term.

Life imprisonment becomes death penalty,

I didn't expect that after becoming a player, he would still be a third-rate lawyer.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei couldn't help but turn around and ask Yuan Zhixia, "Where is Ant? Where did he go?"

"God knows."

Yuan Zhixia shook her head. When the court was adjourned just now, Li Sheng put on makeup and went out to chat with the reporters. When she came back, she asked Xiaoshui for some change and left a message saying, "I'm going out to collect some clues."

He went out and hailed a flying sword (a streamlined hollow flying sword that looks like a car) that was booked online, and disappeared without a trace.

The system deliberately made this world dominated by six-base creatures, and all cultivation techniques, secret treasures and magical instruments were also based on six-base creatures.

Therefore, for foreign players, there are no such classic fantasy novel plots as "exploring secret realms, killing people and stealing treasures" that are popular among the people.

Yuan Zhixia didn't know where Li Sheng ran off to, and sighed, "Fortunately, we shouldn't lose everything this time."

The last penalty for mission failure is [Xiaoshui Xingjun's Fury].

Now that he has lost the case, it is all because Xiaoshui himself did not explain clearly to the lawyers. He was the one who directly voted, and he is too embarrassed to cause trouble to the legal team again.

Xiaoshui Xingjun glanced at Qilin and Qilin'er sitting in the back row, took a deep breath, and said, "I choose the second property division."

"slow!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the door. Li Sheng pushed the door open and walked in. He was wearing a loose shirt, beach pants, flip-flops, and a flower necklace on his chest. He held a stack of documents in his left hand and an opened coconut in his right hand.

Like tourists on vacation in the tropics.

Zhong Tian Beiji's heart skipped a beat. He had heard the whole story about this ant from his brother, so he didn't dare to give him room to maneuver. He immediately turned to the presiding judge and said, "Your Honor, the other lawyer was late for no reason and was in contempt of court. He should be expelled."

"Our lawyer is not late. He just went to collect evidence and is about to bring it over now."

Yuan Zhixia retorted without any hesitation. Since Zhongtian Beiji and the others had been able to produce evidence to disgust the defendant just now, they could certainly disgust them back now.
