428: Chapter 428: A Newcomer

They walked up the gangway one by one, their steps graceful, their long robes fluttering gently in the breeze.

As they passed by Qin Lin, he could smell a faint fragrance on them, like the scent left behind after sunlight has dried petals.

The System notification sounded in Qin Lin's ear.

[New passengers detected: 200 people]

[Race: Light Race]

[comprehensive rating: 92-99 points]

[Recommendation: Guide them and establish a Bond as soon as possible to complete the More Children, More Blessings Task]

Qin Lin looked at the number: "Two hundred, another new race."

Ling Xi stood beside him: "The energy of the Light Race is very pure. Their bodies and energy fields can make The Ark more stable. Their pregnancy period is shorter than humans but longer than the Yao Race, somewhere in between."

The women of the Light Race began to adapt to life on The Ark.

They walked quietly in the corridors, their voices very light, as if afraid of disturbing something.

They were very interested in the automatic doors, lights, and energy patterns on the walls, reaching out gently to touch them, but their movements were very soft, like touching a precious work of art.

Han Yurou stood in the corridor, looking at the women of the Light Race: "They are so beautiful, their skin is so white it's like it's glowing."

Liu Ruyan stood beside her: "They speak so gently, as if afraid of being too loud for others."

Su Han stood by the window watching them, not speaking, but her gaze was inquisitive.

Su Yuran walked over: "The Light Race is very elegant. Their temperament is completely different from the Demon Race; one is like fire, the other like light."

Yeying also stood in the corridor looking at those of the Light Race.

She touched her belly: "They are indeed very beautiful, but we Demon Race are also beautiful."

She turned to look at Qin Lin, "Qin Lin, do you think they are better looking or are we?"

Qin Lin looked at her: "Both are beautiful; you have different kinds of beauty."

The corner of Yeying's mouth curled up: "You certainly know what to say."

The Demon Race women and the Light Race women began a subtle interaction on The Ark.

The Demon Race women were bold and direct, while the Light Race women were elegant and reserved.

This difference made Qin Lin's life richer and more complex.

After the Light Race had lived on The Ark for a while, Qin Lin began to notice the differences between them and the Demon Race women.

They wouldn't directly grab his hand like Yeying, wouldn't intercept him in the corridor like Hanshuang, and wouldn't look at him with seductive eyes like Xuetong.

They would bow slightly when he passed, listen intently when he spoke, and hand him a cup of Warmth tea when he was tired.

The way they approached him was like sunlight, Warmth and silent.

Guangyao is the Clan Chief of the Light Race, and also the first person to establish a Bond with Qin Lin.

That night she found Qin Lin on the Bridge: "Qin Lin, I am ready."

Qin Lin looked at her: "Are you sure?"

Guangyao nodded: "Sure. I understand the rules of The Ark. Many Children, Many Blessings, bearing children—I am willing."

Qin Lin looked at her; there was a light in her eyes, a golden glow circulating in her pupils like Warmth sunlight: "Good, then I will come find you tonight."

That night, Qin Lin went to Guangyao's room.

She was wearing a white robe with golden patterns on the edges, like flowing sunlight.

She sat by the bed, her long golden hair draped over her shoulders, her skin shimmering with a soft luster under the light.

Qin Lin walked over and sat down beside her: "Guangyao, are you nervous?"

Guangyao looked at him: "A little, but I'm not afraid."

Qin Lin reached out and held her hand: "Then let's begin."

Her body was different from humans, the Yao Race, and the Demon Race.

Her skin was warm, like a beach baked by the sun.

There was a faint fragrance on her, like the scent left behind after sunlight has dried petals.

She wasn't as passionate as the Demon Race women, nor as shy as the human women; she carried an elegant, calm acceptance, as natural as the earth receiving rain.

Her breathing was steady, her heartbeat even, and her body was glowing like a lit lamp.

After it ended, she leaned in his arms, her long golden hair scattered across his chest: "Is this the Bond?"

Qin Lin looked down at her: "Yes."

Guangyao closed her eyes: "I felt it. Your energy flowed into my body like a Warmth river."

Qin Lin held her tightly: "Then get some good rest."

A few days later, the System notification sounded.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host! Passenger Guangyao has successfully become pregnant!]

[Reward: survival points +200,000, blessing points +1,000]

[Newborn talent locked: "Morning Sun"; Light attribute affinity increased, Physique enhanced in lit environments, spiritual power Recovery speed increased, comes with a faint glow.]

Qin Lin looked at the words on the panel, a feeling of Warmth welling up in his heart.

The children of the Light Race inherited her talent, just as Yeying's children inherited the shadow talent; every race carries its own mark.

Qin Lin walked into Guangyao's room; she was sitting by the window, her long golden hair shimmering in the sunlight: "You know?"

Qin Lin walked over and sat down beside her: "Mm."

Guangyao looked down and touched her belly: "So fast."

Qin Lin looked at her: "Are you happy?"

Guangyao looked up at him: "I am."

Qin Lin reached out and placed his hand on the back of hers: "Then take good care of the pregnancy."

Other women of the Light Race also established Bonds with Qin Lin one after another.

They each had different personality traits; some were as quiet as moonlight, some as Warmth as the midday sun, and some as light as morning dew.

Their ways of approaching him were all different, but they all had one thing in common.

There was a light in their bodies, a light that would become even brighter when they were moved.

One night, Qin Lin met a Light Race woman named Guangying in the corridor.

She wore a pale gold robe, and her long hair was pale gold, like silk dyed by the sun.

Seeing Qin Lin, she bowed slightly: "Qin Lin, good evening."

Qin Lin looked at her: "Guangying, what are you doing here?"

Guangying looked at him: "I'm waiting for you."

Qin Lin was stunned for a moment: "Waiting for me?"

Guangying nodded: "Ling Xi said my conception window is in three days. I wanted to see you in advance and feel your presence."

Qin Lin looked at her: "And did you feel it?"

Guangying closed her eyes, as if feeling something: "I felt it. Your presence is very Warmth. I think my child will also like your presence."

Qin Lin reached out and gently touched her hair, which was as Warmth as sunlight: "Then prepare well."

The corner of Guangying's mouth curled up: "I will."

The Light Race and Demon Race women gradually formed a wonderful complementarity on The Ark.

Yeying and Guangyao became friends.

Yeying said: "Your hair is so beautiful, like sunlight. I want hair like that too."

Guangyao looked at her silvery-white hair: "Your hair is also very beautiful, like moonlight."

Yeying thought for a moment: "Then you teach me how to care for hair, and I'll teach you how to care for skin."

Guangyao nodded: "Okay."

Hanshuang and Guangying also often chatted together.

Hanshuang said: "Your energy is very Warmth. When I'm near you, my body temperature rises."

Guangying looked at her ice-blue long hair: "Your energy is very cool. When I'm near you, my body temperature drops. We are perfectly balanced together."

The corner of Hanshuang's mouth curled up: "That's good."

Xuetong liked to sit with Guangyao because she felt the light from Guangyao could make her blood-red eyes look even more beautiful.
