Chapter 7

Yes, the eggshell disappeared, leaving no trace behind. 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 inspection committee of the research institute will certainly ask them what evidence they have to prove their findings.

Unless...

"No, no deep dissection." Nancheng, sensing the oppressive atmosphere around her, suddenly stepped forward and blocked the protective shield.

The life detection equipment and various life form inspection devices on the reconnaissance aircraft were already the best. If they wanted to delve deeper, only a deep dissection would be possible. However, 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 hurriedly said, "Sorry, I didn't mean it. I just feel so sorry for this child."

Chen Wei smiled bitterly, "Boss, what should we do now?" The credit they had in hand was gone, and what they thought was a great achievement. Of course, everyone's mood was not good.

Lanxiao sighed lightly, "If there's no credit, then 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 our bad luck. As for him..."

"I'll adopt him." Nancheng said without hesitation. For some reason, when she first saw the child, she felt a deep affection for him. She felt that she had to take good care of him and nurture him.

Lanxiao smiled, "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 hint of pity in his eyes, "You say you're not foolish, but you always deny it."

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

Lanxiao walked up to her, naturally placing his hand on her shoulder and pulling her into his arms, "What I mean is, since this child was discovered 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 not just a mother but also a father. 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 case of getting married after the fact."

Nancheng was stunned for a moment, then a complex emotion welled up in her heart. She should have been moved, but for some reason, looking at this guy, she just felt like hitting him.

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

Lanxiao turned to the others and said seriously, "I'm really sorry, everyone. If one day something extraordinary happens with this child, 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, speechless.

Lanxiao immediately said, "How about this: the surname follows mine, 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."

"Prepare 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 cell data analysis, and everything is 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 his adoptive father!" Lanxiao smiled bitterly. But the bitterness wasn't too strong.

It had been three days since they returned, 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 explained the situation to the researchers and announced that the child would be his and Nancheng's son.

With the recent scandal of fraud, 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 identity in the Federation, a month later, Lanxiao and Nancheng got married and announced the fact that they had "gotten married after the fact." Lan Xuan Yu officially had his own birth certificate. Father: Lanxiao, Mother: Nancheng.

No one knew what this meant, but the only thing Lanxiao looked forward to was six years later, when the child turned six and would undergo the soul awakening ceremony, like all other children of his age.

In the world of Douluo and the administrative planets occupied by the Douluo Federation, except for the two soul beasts, all children must awaken their soul at the age of six.

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

What soul will a child born from an egg awaken?
