416: Chapter 416 Milestone Achieved Again

Ling Xi sat beside him: "The physiological cycle of Yao Race females is shorter than that of humans, and their conception windows are more frequent, so they get pregnant faster."

Qin Lin looked at her: "Then will their children be born faster too?"

Ling Xi nodded: "They will be born a bit earlier than human children, and they will develop faster as well."

...

Qin Lin began to familiarize himself with the characteristics and habits of every Yao Race woman, knowing who liked quiet and who liked liveliness; whose ears were the most sensitive, and whose tail would reveal her true emotions.

Ling Xi also became increasingly adept at giving him hints using concise language on the System panel: "Her ears are very sensitive, you can touch them more," "Her tail will reveal her emotions, pay attention and observe," "She likes to have her head patted when being intimate, which is very effective for building a Bond."

Qin Lin looked at those hints and felt that Ling Xi was like a consultant well-versed in Yao Race social interactions.

One evening, Qin Lin went to the room of a Yao Race woman named Yue Ying.

After taking human form, Yue Ying had long black hair and silver pupils that looked like two full moons.

She sat by the window looking outside, her tail hanging quietly behind her.

Qin Lin walked in and sat down beside her: "Are you ready?"

Yue Ying turned her head to look at him: "I am ready, Ling Xi has already spoken to me."

Qin Lin looked at her and reached out his hand. Yue Ying hesitated for a moment, then also reached out and took his hand.

Her fingers were slightly cooler than those of human women, with a touch like solidified moonlight.

"Then shall we begin?"

That night, Qin Lin and Yue Ying completed their Bond.

Just as Ling Xi had said, Yue Ying's tail would sway gently when she was relaxed or happy. She would not speak loudly like human women but would express her feelings with a low, wind-like sound.

Qin Lin found it very novel and also very enjoyable.

The next morning, when Qin Lin woke up, Yue Ying had already gotten up.

She was sitting by the window brushing her hair, her tail swaying gently behind her: "Ling Xi said my conception window is in three days."

Qin Lin sat up: "She told you that?"

Yue Ying nodded: "She asked me to tell you to come find me in three days."

Qin Lin sighed: "Alright."

Three days later, Qin Lin came to Yue Ying's room again. This time, Yue Ying was already prepared. She was wearing that silver-white nightgown, sitting on the edge of the bed, her tail hanging quietly behind her.

Qin Lin walked over and reached out to hold her hand: "Let's begin."

That night, both of them were very immersed, and Yue Ying's tail would gently wrap around his wrist when he touched her.

After it was over, Yue Ying leaned into his embrace: "Qin Lin, I can feel it, the child is already on the way."

Qin Lin looked down at her: "You can feel it?"

Yue Ying nodded: "The Yao Race has a keener perception of life than humans; I can feel a small life forming."

Qin Lin hugged her tighter: "That's good."

The Yao Race women on The Ark were all adapting to their new lives in their own ways. Some were chatting with human women in the living room, some were learning to cook from Han Qing in the kitchen, and some were learning to grow flowers with Li Ran in the Flower Garden.

Han Yurou loved being with them because she felt they possessed a beauty that humans lacked: "They are like elves who walked out of the forest."

Liu Ruyan preferred to Cultivate with them: "Their spiritual power is very pure. Cultivating with them makes my own spiritual power better."

One evening, Qin Lin encountered Ling Xi at the Observation Tower. She was looking at the starry sky outside the window and did not turn back when she heard footsteps: "Qin Lin, you're here."

Qin Lin walked over and stood beside her: "What are you looking at?"

Ling Xi pointed outside the window: "Looking at that star."

Qin Lin followed her gaze: "What's special about that star?"

Ling Xi was silent for a moment: "Beneath that star, there are more Yao Race. I can sense them."

Qin Lin looked at her: "Do you want to go?"

Ling Xi turned her head to look at him: "Yes, besides, The Ark is big enough; having a few more people won't affect anything."

Qin Lin nodded: "Alright."

Ling Xi looked at him: "Are you not afraid of encountering Yao Race again?"

Qin Lin thought for a moment: "Since I already have them, what else is there to fear?"

The corners of Ling Xi's mouth curled up: "You finally figured it out."

Qin Lin looked at her: "It was you who made me realize it."

Ling Xi did not answer, but the corners of her mouth curled up even higher.

...

The speed at which the Yao Race women got pregnant caught Qin Lin somewhat off guard.

In less than a month, all twenty Yao Race women were confirmed pregnant.

The System notification sounds on The Ark rang more and more frequently, almost once every day or two, each time bringing a new piece of good news.

[Ding! Congratulations Host! Passenger Yue Ying has successfully become pregnant!]

[Ding! Congratulations Host! Passenger Qing Luan has successfully become pregnant!]

... ...

Every day when Qin Lin opened the System panel, he could see new pregnancy records.

Twenty Yao Race women, from Chief Bai Yao to the last one named Xuan Ji, all completed conception within a few weeks.

Qin Lin felt like prey targeted by twenty little demons at the same time.

The reproductive cycle of Yao Race women is shorter than humans, their conception windows are more frequent, and their bodies are more adapted to conception.

Ling Xi's explanation made her sound like an agricultural production expert.

One morning, Qin Lin was looking at the star map on the Bridge, and a summary notification popped up on the System panel.

[Yao Race passenger pregnancy progress: 20/20 (Completed)]

[Total number of pregnant women on The Ark: 135]

[Total number of children on The Ark (already born): 112]

Qin Lin looked at these numbers, was silent for a moment, and then turned to look at Ling Xi sitting beside him: "They are all pregnant."

Ling Xi nodded: "Mm, it was a few days faster than expected."

Qin Lin looked at her: "Your prediction is very accurate."

Ling Xi looked at him: "Because I am monitoring their energy states every day."

Qin Lin leaned back in his chair: "So what's next?"

Ling Xi did not answer.

Her gaze fell on the holographic screen, and the System notification sound rang out again, but this time it was not an ordinary notification, but a long, horn-like melody.

Golden light surged out from every corner of The Ark, washing over everyone's ankles like a tide.

["Many Children, Many Blessings" permanent mission milestone reached!]

[Extra reward: One free upgrade for The Ark!]

Qin Lin looked at the "One free upgrade" on the panel, and his heart rate accelerated.

He turned to look at Ling Xi: "Did you see that?"

Ling Xi nodded: "I saw it."

Qin Lin stood up, walked to the front of the holographic screen, reached out his finger, and tapped on "Confirm."

[Lv11 → Lv12 upgrade has started]
