Chapter 7: Lan Xuan Yu

That's right, the eggshell is gone, not a single trace of it left. What does this mean? This means that they have no way to report this discovery unless they are able to find something abnormal about this child. Otherwise, the research centre's inspector committee will definitely request them for the evidence to prove their discovery.

Unless...

"No, definitely not, we can't dissect the child." Nan Cheng could sense the pressure coming from everyone around, she whiz pass everyone and stood in front of the barrier, blocking it.

The life detection device and other types of equipment on the plane are already the best, if they still want to find out anything from the child, dissection is the only way. But what that means, goes without saying.

"What are you thinking." Lan Xiao said: "Even if we all agree, it would not be possible. This is a living child, not a corpse. Why would we do a dissection?"

The way everyone looked at Nan Cheng was a little weird, only then does she realised what she said before was insensible and hurriedly apologised: "Sorry everyone, that's not what I meant. It's just, I feel so much sympathy for the child."

Chen Wei bitterly smiled: "Boss, what should we do then?" The achievement they thought they accomplished went up in flames, obviously, everyone would feel upset.

Lan Xiao sighed, "The discovery we achieved is gone, we'll just need to work harder next time. When we bring the child back, we'll do another test, if there are no results then, I guess it's just bad luck. But about the child..."

"I'll adopt him." Na Cheng said without a shred of hesitation. She doesn't know why, the moment she laid her eyes on the child, she innately feels affection for him, feeling like she needs to protect the child no matter what happens.

Lan Xiao smiled: "This means you would be having a child out of wedlock!"

Nan Cheng blushed, stubbornly said: "So what? He doesn't have a mother, then I'll be his."

Lan Xiao looked at her, her eyes were filled with sympathy for the child, "I say you are stupid, but you never did admit it's true."

Nan Cheng looked at him, a little pissed, "I already said, never call me stupid."

Lan Xiao walked up to her, naturally putting his hands on her shoulders, pulling her into his embrace, "What I meant to say is, since the child was discovered by everyone, then, we have a responsibility to him. Furthermore, I believe, this child born from an egg, will one day show us what's so special about him. Lastly, what I meant is that, he not only needs a mother but a father too. So if you marry me first, then announce we had a child, only that you were pregnant before getting married, then it wouldn't mean you had a child born out of wedlock."

Nan Cheng was stunned, she was confused, she should feel moved! But looking at him, makes her want to punch him.

"Ha Ha Ha Ha!" The others laughed at the same time, this team has always been united, Lan Xiao has this indescribable charisma, always able to convince everyone around him or this is just his emotional intelligence.

Lan Xiao turned around and said: "This time, I really let everyone down. If in the future, any special traits could be found on the child, I will definitely share the rewards for the discovery with everyone."

Li Ting Yin shrugs her shoulders and said: "One less reward is not an issue, I just feel, since you're adopting him, shouldn't you give him a name?"

"Name?"

Nan Cheng was dazed, she wasn't prepared to be anyone's mother!

Lan Cheng said: "How about Lan Cheng?"

Nan Cheng immediately reacted, stared at him and say: "I was the one who wanted to adopt him first, why not call him Nan Xiao. Its already decided, the child doesn't need to follow the father's surname."

"Wait! Boss, Nan Cheng. Don't you think this is a little confusing? The words from your names, if it's simply just combined together, the three of you would have similar names, it's so hard to differentiate." Chen Wei said.

Lan Xiao said: "How about this, his surname follows mine, you give him a name."

Nan Cheng replied: "Then why not the other way?"

Lan Xiao grinned: "Because my surname sounds nicer. Don't you think? I still remember the first time we met, you said it before, my surname is quite decent."

"We are descending, everyone please get back to your seats." The pilot said.

Three days later. Ancient Spirit Beast Research Centre.

"Everything's normal, it's the same, it's too normal. We added several other values to analyse, including cell count, everything's normal. The only difference is his genetic makeup. From his gene lineage, he is definitely human, but his gene has some unknown components, it's also complicated. Even with our equipment, we can't fully analyse it. This kind of situation in a human is also a one in a thousand occurrence, so doesn't mean anything." Chen Wei reported to Lan Xiao the latest results.

"Looks like I'm definitely going to be a father!" Lan Xiao said bitterly. Just not such a bitter taste after all.

They've returned for three days, yet the child never cried or throw any tantrums at all, even during the test, he's very quiet, smiling even.

There's a strange sense of affinity for the child, after coming to the centre, he quickly became the centre's darling.

As for his background, to prevent the inspector committee from suspecting anything, Lan Xiao announced the child as his and Nan Cheng's after truthfully informing all his employees.

The recent case fraud is still fresh on everyone's minds, not talking about Lan Xiao's influence within the centre first, just worrying about the falsification incident, coupled with these test data, naturally, no one has objections.

And the child's name has been set, Lan Xuan Yu. Nan Cheng said this means to have a dignified appearance.

To give the child a legal identity from the federation, Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng got married a month later, also announcing the 'truth' that Nan Cheng was pregnant before getting married. Lan Xuan Yu also finally have a birth certificate. Father: Lan Xiao, Mother: Nan Cheng.

No one knows what this represents, the only expectation Lan Xiao have is that six years later when the child is older and everyone at the same age undergoes spirit awakening, what kind of spirit he will awaken.

In this world of Douluo Dalu, including the planets that the federation has occupied, other than the two planets belonging to spirit beasts, all children at the age of six years old must awaken a spirit of their own.

Spirit is a trait that all humans from Douluo must have, everyone has a spirit of their own and spirit awakening, is an important turning point for everyone.

A child born from an egg, when his spirit awakens, what would it be like?

The child's name 'Lan Xuan Yu (蓝轩宇)', comes from the Chinese idiom 'Qi Yu Xuan Ang (器宇轩昂)', which means 'to have a dignified appearance' or 'imperial'.
