Infinite Chimera Creation

"Although I liked you from the beginning, it was only because of your race. I wanted to find a partner who was also a dragon, so after I found out that you could not transform into a dragon, I gave up the idea of ​​having you as my partner."

But now that I see you're willing to drink tea, instead of being like those rude fellows who only know how to drink all day, I can't help but wonder if it really matters if my partner isn't from the Jiao Clan.

Yuan Yuan finished his tea, his expression remaining icy, and his voice, like his expression, was utterly devoid of warmth.

"I'm sorry, I already have a partner I can spend my life with, and I don't plan to find a second one, so you should keep your faith and find a guy from the Jiao clan."

With a soft sigh, Mizusawa shook his head with a wry smile.

"You really don't know anything about tact. Sure enough, a man with such a lack of romance like you isn't suitable to be my partner."

Yuan Yuan nodded casually, his expression softening slightly.

"Now, let me tell you why I've come to see you."

As he spoke, he pulled out a huge golden sphere from his pocket, about the size of a human head.

"Don't ask me how I managed to stuff something so big into my arms. Just consider it a racial talent. What I'm going to tell you now is about this little guy."

"Little one?"

Repeating a word Yuan Yuan had uttered, Shui Ze noticed this time that the object, which looked like a stone ball, actually possessed a faint life force. This life force was so weak, weaker than even a strong ant, that Shui Ze subconsciously ignored it.

"You mean, this thing isn't a stone, but... but an egg?"

Yuan Yuan nodded, a proud expression on his face.

“That’s right, it’s an egg, an egg with my bloodline.”

As he spoke, Yuan Yuan tapped the eggshell lightly with his finger. Instantly, the stone-like egg seemed to awaken, and a compassionate aura of pity for all living beings emanated from it.

P.S., the seven little snakes are finally going to take the stage! I'm so excited!

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Entrustment

“Yuan Yuan, is it really okay for you to do this? Introducing your offspring in front of a woman who just proposed to you. If I were a little narrow-minded, I would definitely think you are mocking and insulting me.”

Looking at Yuan Yuan's still expressionless face, and then at the snake egg whose life force was gradually increasing, Shui Ze gave a helpless smile.

Although Mizusawa had a very good impression of this snake clan junior when they first met, after several interactions, she discovered that while he was indeed excellent in every aspect, he seemed to have a regrettable deficiency in emotional intelligence.

"Do you think these few meetings haven't been enough for me to see that you're not a petty person? Now that I know your personality, there's no need for me to spout those hypocritical words in front of you, is there?"

Yuan Yuan took the teapot from in front of Shui Ze, refilled his cup with tea, and spoke casually.

Ah, that's right. And one more thing: although this junior has low emotional intelligence, he always manages to say things that subtly build rapport and increase favorability. Most importantly, his unconscious attitude makes his words seem exceptionally sincere.

Although she felt quite helpless about Yuan Yuan's attitude, Shui Ze's smile became even brighter. Despite being a great demon who was hundreds of years old, she smiled like an ordinary little girl.

"Alright, alright, since you've put it that way, I won't dwell on such a trivial matter. Tell me, what is it that you want?"

Although Shui Ze's attitude became more intimate, and he even spoke more casually, Yuan Yuan's expression did not change much and remained calm.

After gently pushing the golden snake egg towards the marsh, Yuan Yuan calmly uttered words that surprised the marsh, making it even doubt its own ears.

"I hope you can help me educate this child."

Shui Ze was stunned for a full minute before she realized what Yuan Yuan meant. It wasn't that Yuan Yuan had said something she couldn't understand, but the meaning behind his words was so astonishing that Shui Ze subconsciously doubted what she was hearing.

You must understand that for a great demon, or more accurately, for any demon, the most important thing is not territory, not wealth, not even the power they have cultivated over many years, but their offspring, which represent their lineage and the continuation of their lineage.

To put it bluntly, even two yokai who were once close friends will inevitably become mortal enemies if they dare to covet each other's offspring. In fact, some extreme yokai believe that even a lifelong partner is not as important as offspring.

Given the inherent characteristics of the demon race, entrusting a demon's offspring to someone else's care is practically harder than killing them. Especially since this offspring, even before birth, exhibited the exceptionally high-level talent of "autonomous aura concealment."

"Don't doubt your ears, and don't doubt that I'm testing you. I'm not that bored. I really do want to entrust this child to you."

Sipping his tea calmly, Yuan Yuan seemed to be entrusting not a descendant with his own bloodline, but a bird egg casually taken from a bird's nest.

Although this bird egg may be a bit big.

"Although I don't want to bother you, the topic you're discussing is so interesting that I can't ignore it. How about I join in?"

Suddenly, a figure dressed in a white robe appeared in the room. He had a gentle and casual smile on his face. Although he did not ask for anyone's permission, he sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

Mizusawa frowned, a look of displeasure appearing on his face.

"White God, as a senior, as a great demon, how could you do something like eavesdropping? Don't you feel ashamed?"

"Phew, this is indeed good tea. I wanted to try it as soon as I saw it."

Setting down his teacup, a look of enjoyment on his face, Shirakami waved his hand dismissively and spoke...

“You’ve misunderstood. You see, this is the ideal world. Here, every one of my believers firmly believes that God’s eyes are watching over every corner of the world. So, everything that happens in the ideal world will be seen by me, even if I don’t want it to.”

As he spoke, Bai Shen seemed to have thought of something unpleasant, and a regretful expression appeared on his face.

"For example, that female believer who can create clones herself, she masturbates in front of my statue every day; for example, that immortal believer who uses a knife, she shouts some lines that make people feel extremely embarrassed when she does her knife-wielding training every day; ah, anyway, it's not like I want to hear them, I'm also very troubled, okay?"

Seeing the regretful expression on Shirakami's face and confirming that what he said was true, Mizusawa's expression softened somewhat. He nodded and no longer held a grudge about him eavesdropping.

"I'll let the eavesdropping go, but aren't you going to explain why you showed up uninvited?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Bai Shen's face. Whether it was genuine or not, this expression did further reduce Shui Ze's dislike for him.

"I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by what you were talking about. That's the offspring of a great demon, and clearly a very talented one at that, yet they're handing him over to someone else to raise and educate. Even you, Mizusawa, must have been shocked when you first heard about this. Don't blame me."

Mizusawa's expression turned helpless. Indeed, just as Shirakami said, she had been frightened.

"But even so,"

Before Shui Ze could say anything more, Yuan Yuan interrupted her with his actions. He reached into his robes again, pulled out a gray sphere about the same size as the golden egg from before, and calmly pushed it towards Bai Shen.

"You've come at the right time, saving me the trouble of looking for you later. I'm entrusting this child to you."

This gray snake egg had even lower life fluctuations than the golden egg from before. Not only were its life fluctuations low, but its very presence as an object was pitifully weak.

When Yuan Yuan first took it out, Bai Shen saw it but subconsciously ignored its existence. It wasn't until Yuan Yuan tapped the gray egg, causing it to emit a life wave carrying an aura of despair, that Bai Shen's consciousness began to register its presence.

Bai Shen stared blankly at the gray sphere for a long time, then suddenly shivered, as if he had come to his senses.

Then, the great monster went berserk, completely ignoring the gray sphere on the table, and rushed towards Yuan Yuan like a madman who had encountered a beautiful woman. Ignoring Yuan Yuan's attempts to stop it, it reached out and began to tear off Yuan Yuan's clothes.

"Let me see, let me see how many you have left. I don't believe it, I don't believe you have any other descendants. Hurry up and take off your clothes, let me see, hurry up, take them off, take them off for me."

It's no wonder he reacted so strongly. Usually, a great demon would be overjoyed to have a descendant with high talent, but Yuan Yuan took out a gray egg after taking out a golden egg.

Moreover, the life fluctuations of this gray egg were even smaller than those of the gold egg. While this doesn't necessarily mean that its talent was higher than that of the gold egg, it at least proves that its talent was not low.

Yuan Yuan was able to produce two such offspring at once, enough to make anyone jealous to die, and he even planned to entrust them to others for education. This was enough to drive Bai Shen crazy.

Even Shui Ze no longer had the intention to stop Bai Shen. In fact, if it weren't for her last bit of restraint holding her back, she probably would have already started to tear off Yuan Yuan's clothes to see if there were any other snake eggs in his arms.

After all that commotion, Bai Shen and Shui Ze finally calmed down.

Touching the gray snake eggs, Shirakami spoke with a complex expression.

"Can you explain why you entrusted your offspring to us for care? I can barely understand why you asked Mizusawa for help, since she showed you kindness from the beginning."

But I've never had any contact with you from beginning to end, so why would you entrust your important offspring to me?

Taking a small sip of the still-sweet tea, Yuan Yuan spoke calmly.

"Because I am a genius, even if these children are talented, if they follow my path and learn from me, they are destined to live in my shadow for the rest of their lives."

No one can surpass me on my path. That's why I'm entrusting them to you, hoping they can walk your path.

Even if you are unwilling to guide them onto their own paths, these children will surely find their own way after leaving my side.

Bai Shen and Shui Ze exchanged a glance, unsure of what to say. Was this absolute confidence or just plain stupidity? But judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to be mentally unstable.

Finally, it was Bai Shen who spoke first, a helpless smile on his face.

"Let me ask you another question. Aren't you afraid that if you hand this little guy over to me, I might kill him before he's even born? Or brainwash him and turn him into my loyal follower?"

Yuan Yuan's lips curled up, revealing an expression that could barely be described as a "warm smile."

"When I entrusted these children to you, I wasn't without a choice. I can see that you are very magnanimous and wouldn't do something like killing him before he was born. As for brainwashing, if you can do it, then go ahead and do it. If you succeed, it just means you're not talented enough."

Yuan Yuan chuckled inwardly, completely disbelieving that the White God could brainwash the little creature inside the gray egg. The emotion contained within this gray egg was derived from the obsession of the Holy Crying Mantis: [Despair]. Although it hadn't yet reached the level of awakened madness, it was absolutely impossible for it to be influenced by others and have its mind altered to believe in someone else.

With a carefree laugh, the White God placed the gray egg in front of him.

"Since you've said so, then I'll take this child. Just wait, I'll definitely train him to be my follower."

Seeing Bai Shen's actions, Shui Ze pondered for a moment and then accepted the golden egg. She assured Yuan Yuan that as long as this unborn little creature was suitable for her path, she would guide it onto it.

Seeing that both of them had accepted the snake eggs, a look of satisfaction flashed in Yuan Yuan's eyes. He seemed about to say something, but before he could speak, Bai Shen suddenly interrupted him, silencing his words.

"Huh, I didn't notice it before, but now that I look closely, these two snake eggs are not only different in color, but also in shape."

Upon hearing Shiragami's words, Mizusawa also began to carefully examine the two snake eggs. Although she hadn't noticed them before, upon closer inspection, she discovered that the two snake eggs did have some differences.

On each side of the gray egg are three small, curved spikes, giving it a sharp, blade-like appearance. The gold egg, however, does not have these spikes; instead, at the top of the egg are two curved, horn-like protrusions.

Thinking about the two eggs from earlier, one exuding an aura of compassion and the other an aura of despair, Shui Ze's gaze towards Yuan Yuan became somewhat strange.

It is obvious that the two snake eggs were not born from the same mother, but Yuan Yuan had previously stated that he already had a partner and did not intend to find a second one.

Could it be that he was lying to me just now, just trying to fool me? With this thought in mind, Shui Ze didn't hide it and directly asked Yuan Yuan about his doubts.

"Indeed, these two little ones don't have the same mother, but who says their mother is necessarily my partner?"

Indeed, the components that make up these two snake eggs, besides being taken from Yuan Yuan's bloodline, are from the Holy Crying Mantis and the Compassionate Antelope Knight. It wouldn't be wrong to say that these two donors are the "mothers" of the snake eggs. In this sense, the mothers of the two snake eggs are indeed not the same person.

"Is it just for reproduction? If so, it makes sense."

Shui Ze nodded, a relieved expression on her face. She just wanted to confirm that Yuan Yuan hadn't lied to her; that was enough. As for mating for the purpose of reproduction, it was perfectly normal in the eyes of a demon.

In the realm of reproduction, whether it's monsters, beasts, or humans, they are all very similar: mating with a powerful partner makes it easier to give birth to healthy and strong children.

Therefore, it's quite normal for a powerful demon to unite with a strong member of the opposite sex for the sake of offspring. Just like Touya, as the current leader of the dog clan, he can choose to unite with the most powerful member of the clan, Lingyue Xianji, whenever he wants. If she doesn't want to, he can even force her.

"Hehehe, I'm even more curious about you now."

Suddenly, a folding fan appeared out of nowhere, covering his mouth, and Shirakami let out a strange, whistling laugh. His face and voice were already androgynous, but this somewhat feminine gesture made him appear strangely alluring.

"The bloodline of a great demon is extremely powerful. If offspring are born, they should generally inherit the bloodline of the great demon completely. However, these two snake eggs both show characteristics of their mother's bloodline. In other words, the two mothers were either powerful great demons or ordinary demons who were weak but had powerful bloodlines."

Regardless of the possibility, it's astonishing. And to find two people of the opposite sex like that and have children—your background is truly intriguing.

Yuan Yuan glanced at Bai Shen and calmly uttered, "You're overthinking it."

White God was indeed overthinking things. Although the Holy Crying Mantis and the Antelope Knight were powerful beings among Hollows, one being a mid-level Hollow and the other an upper-level Hollow, they were nothing compared to the Great Youkai.

The reason these two snake eggs were able to exhibit such powerful talents was mainly due to Yuan Yuan's bloodline as a mortal python, as well as some subsequent modifications Yuan Yuan made to them.
