413: Chapter 413 Demon Clan

After The Ark continued to sail in the new star System for three days, Ling Xi's condition was getting better and better.

She could walk longer distances, her range of perception was larger, and she even began to be able to briefly touch physical objects.

One day, while she was helping Han Qing cook in the kitchen, she reached out and picked up a tomato. It was a real, tangible tomato, not a sensory projection from her energy body state.

Han Qing watched her movements and was stunned for a moment: "You picked up the tomato?"

Ling Xi looked down at the tomato in her hand, red, round, with a thin layer of white frost on the surface: "I picked it up."

Han Qing walked over and reached out to touch the back of Ling Xi's hand. Ling Xi's hand had warmth, just like a normal person: "You can really touch things now."

Ling Xi nodded: "My energy is in Recovery, and as there are more and more children, my ability to materialize is also strengthening."

Han Qing was silent for a while: "Then will you become the same as a normal person in the future?"

Ling Xi thought for a moment: "Yes, if there are enough children."

Qin Lin was looking at the star map in the Bridge. Ling Xi walked in, holding the tomato: "Qin Lin, look."

She placed the tomato on the console. Qin Lin turned his head and glanced at it: "A tomato, what's wrong?"

Ling Xi looked at him: "I picked it up, I really picked it up."

Qin Lin was stunned for a moment, reached out and picked up the tomato. It was indeed a real object, with weight and warmth: "You can touch things now?"

Ling Xi nodded: "My energy is in Recovery. The more children there are, the more materialized I become."

She paused for a moment, "So I want to tell you something."

Qin Lin put down the tomato: "Go ahead."

Ling Xi looked at him: "I have detected a new energy signal. It is stronger than the previous source crystals, purple crystals, and sea crystals. If it can be absorbed, I might be able to achieve better Recovery."

Qin Lin looked at her: "Where?"

Ling Xi pointed to a light spot on the holographic screen: "Here, The Ark needs to change course."

Qin Lin looked at the coordinates; it didn't deviate much from the current course: "Okay, I will set a new course."

The Ark changed course and flew towards those coordinates.

Ling Xi stood beside Qin Lin, looking at the starry sky outside the window, her lips slightly curled up.

She didn't tell him that the coordinates were not found by her through the System's scan, but were something she perceived herself.

She also knew that it was not an ordinary habitable planet; there were members of the Yao Race there, a group of Yao Race women who could transform into human form.

Ling Xi didn't feel there was anything wrong with withholding this.

She just felt that if she told Qin Lin directly "There is the Yao Race there," he might hesitate.

She didn't want him to hesitate, because her ability Recovery required more new life, and the energy state of those Yao Race women was very good, making them very suitable for reproduction.

However, all the women Qin Lin had found were of the Human Race; she was no longer satisfied with this speed and had to take another path.

Speaking of which, she still had to thank Qin Lin for the unintentional reminder he gave last time about a ghost, which gave her a new idea.

The Ark flew in the starry sky for two days.

Qin Lin noticed that the scenery outside the window was changing. The stars were becoming fewer, replaced by a gray, fog-like halo: "Ling Xi, where have we arrived?"

Ling Xi looked at him: "The outskirts of the target star System."

The Ark passed through the halo and entered a new world.

The scenery outside the window changed from gray to green, and from green to colorful.

Qin Lin was stunned.

It was a planet like a forest, with trees so tall they blotted out the sky and sun. There was glowing moss on the tree crowns, and tiny specks of light floated in the air, like countless fireflies.

The Ark landed on an open space. Qin Lin opened the hatch and walked down from The Ark. Under his feet was soft moss, and the air held the scent of flowers and soil, but there was also an indescribable sense of strangeness: "Here... it seems a bit different."

Ling Xi walked down: "There is a lot of life energy here, more than on any previous planet."

Qin Lin opened the System panel: "Scan it and see if there are any survivors."

A prompt popped up on the System panel: [Intelligent life detected] [Type: Non-human] [Status: Transformed Yao Race] [Quantity: Approximately twenty] [Rating: All meet requirements]

Qin Lin was stunned: "Yao Race? Transformed Yao Race?"

Ling Xi nodded: "Yes, they are the Yao Race, but they have already Cultivated to the transformation stage and can turn into human form."

Qin Lin looked at her: "How could the System detect the Yao Race? Shouldn't The Ark's scanning array only target humans?"

Ling Xi was silent for a moment: "I adjusted the scanning parameters."

Qin Lin was stunned: "You adjusted them?"

Ling Xi looked at him: "Yes, I perceived their existence. Their tribe is experiencing a disaster and needs help. Moreover, their physical state is no different from humans. After Cultivating and transforming, their Meridians, bones, blood, and even the genetic structure you speak of can be highly similar to humans, perfectly meeting the conditions of the More Children, More Blessings Task."

Qin Lin looked at her: "Are you telling me that I am going to have children with the Yao Race?"

Ling Xi nodded: "That's right. Their energy state is very good, better than most human females. If they join The Ark, the number of your children will increase rapidly, and I will also achieve Recovery faster."

Qin Lin felt his worldview collapsing: "Humans and the Yao Race are different paths; will the children born... have any problems?"

Ling Xi looked at him: "No. The System has already detected them and given them a rating, which shows there is no problem. The body structure of transformed Yao Race females is completely compatible with humans. Their genetic information has already been reorganized during transformation, and there is no essential difference from humans."

Qin Lin took a deep breath: "Are you sure?"

Ling Xi nodded: "I am sure."

Qin Lin looked at her, not knowing what to say: "Alright then, let's go take a look."

To be honest, although Qin Lin said that humans and the Yao Race were on different paths, he was still a little intrigued by the Yao who could transform. After all, he had never really tried it, or even thought about it.

...

The Ark continued to land in the forest.

When Qin Lin walked down the gangway, he saw a group of people standing in front.

Some of them were wearing dresses, others were wearing clothes made of leaves, but they all had one thing in common—they were all very beautiful.

Their faces were as exquisite as if they had walked out of a painting, with fair skin and slender figures. They possessed a wild beauty rarely seen in human women, but their pupils were vertical, like cat's eyes.

Some had pointed ears, like elves; some had a fluffy tail behind them, gently swaying; others had a pair of small horns on top of their heads, like a deer.

Qin Lin stood in front of them, not knowing what to say.

The leader was a woman wearing a white dress; her pupils were pale gold, and she had a white tail behind her: "Who are you?"

Qin Lin nodded: "My name is Qin Lin."
