Chapter 7

Yes, the eggshell disappeared without a trace. What does this mean? It means they have no way to report this incident unless they can find something unusual about the baby. Otherwise, the research institute's inspection committee will certainly ask them what evidence they have to prove their findings.

Unless...

"No, we can't perform a deep dissection." Nancheng felt the oppressive atmosphere around her and suddenly stepped in front of the protective shield.

The life detection equipment and various life form examination devices on the reconnaissance machine were already the best. If they wanted to delve deeper, only a deep dissection would be possible. But what that meant was obvious.

"What are you thinking?" Lanxiao said irritably, "Even if we agreed, it would be impossible. This is a living being, not a corpse. Where did you get the idea of a deep dissection?"

The others looked at Nancheng with a strange expression. Nancheng realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly said, "Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. I just feel so sorry for this child."

Chen Wei smiled bitterly, "Boss, what should we do now?" The credit they thought they had secured was gone, and everyone's mood was understandably not good.

Lanxiao sighed, "If there's no credit, so be it. We'll work harder in the future. After we take the child back, we'll give him another thorough examination. If there's still no result, then it's just bad luck. As for him..."

"I'll adopt him." Nancheng said without hesitation. For some reason, when she first saw the child, she felt an instinctive fondness for him. She felt she had to take good care of him.

Lanxiao laughed, "You're having a child before marriage!"

Nancheng's face turned red, and she said stubbornly, "So what? Since he doesn't have a mother, I'll be his mother."

Lanxiao looked at her with a mix of pity, "You say you're not foolish, but you are."

Nancheng glared at him, "I told you not to call me foolish."

Lanxiao walked up to her, naturally putting his hand on her shoulder and pulling her into his arms, "What I mean is, since this child was found by all of us, we all have a responsibility to him. And I believe that this child, born from an egg, will one day show us something extraordinary. Finally, what I mean is, he needs a father as well as a mother. So, if you marry me first and then announce that we have a child, it won't be considered having a child before marriage, just a bit of a reverse order."

Nancheng was stunned for a moment, then a complex emotion welled up inside her. She should be moved, but for some reason, looking at this guy, she just wanted to hit him.

"Ha ha ha!" The others all laughed in unison. Their team was always united, and Lanxiao had a certain charm that made people around him trust him, or perhaps it was his emotional intelligence.

Lanxiao turned to the others and said seriously, "I'm really sorry, everyone. If this child ever shows something extraordinary in the future, all the credit will be shared with everyone."

Li Tingyin shrugged, "It's not a big deal to lose some credit. I just think that since you're going to adopt him, shouldn't you give him a name?"

"A name?"

Nancheng was taken aback; she wasn't really prepared to be a mother!

Lanxiao said, "How about Lan Cheng?"

Nancheng immediately reacted, glaring at him, "I decided to adopt him first, so why not call him Nan Xiao? It's already stipulated that a child doesn't have to take the father's surname."

"Wait a minute! Boss, Nancheng, don't you think this is a bit confusing? You both have two-character names. If we just combine your names, the three of you will have names that are too similar and hard to distinguish." Chen Wei said helplessly.

Lanxiao immediately said, "How about this: he takes my surname, and you choose the given name."

Nancheng pouted, "Why not the other way around?"

Lanxiao smiled, "Because the surname Lan sounds better. Don't you think so? Remember when we first met, you told me that the surname Lan was quite nice."

"The plane is about to land, please return to your seats." The pilot's voice came over the intercom.

Three days later. Ancient Soul Beast Research Institute.

"Everything is normal, just too normal. We've added a lot of data analysis, including some cellular data, and it's all normal. The only thing a bit unusual is his genetic analysis. From the genetic lineage, he is definitely human. However, his genes are a bit unclear, even a bit complex. Our instruments can't fully analyze them. But this situation occurs in one in a thousand humans, so it doesn't mean anything." Chen Wei reported the latest test results to Lanxiao.

"It looks like I'm stuck being this child's stepfather!" Lanxiao smiled bitterly. The bitterness wasn't too strong, though.

Three days had passed, and the child hadn't cried or fussed. He was very quiet during the examinations and mostly smiled.

The child had a mysterious charm and quickly became the darling of the entire research institute.

As for his origin, to avoid being investigated by the inspection committee, Lanxiao frankly told his subordinates and announced that he would be his and Nancheng's son.

With the recent scandal of falsification, not to mention Lanxiao's influence in the institute, and the test data, no one raised any objections.

The child's name was also decided: Lan Xuan Yu. Nancheng said it meant "majestic and dignified."

To give the child a legal federal identity, a month later, Lanxiao and Nancheng got married and announced the fact of their "reverse order" marriage. Lan Xuan Yu officially had his own birth certificate. Father: Lanxiao, Mother: Nancheng.

No one knew what this meant. The only thing Lanxiao looked forward to was what kind of soul power the child would awaken at the age of six, when all children undergo the soul power awakening ceremony.

In the world of Douluo and the administrative planets under the control of the Douluo Federation, except for the two soul beast planets, all children must awaken their soul power at the age of six.

Soul power is a characteristic of the people of Douluo, and everyone has their own soul power. The soul power awakening is a significant turning point in the life of every Douluo person.

What kind of soul power will a child born from an egg awaken?
