"Brother, don't even mention whether they have inherited the Qin family's bloodline. The two of us are not of the Qin family's bloodline now."
Qin Minghuang's truthful words immediately made Qin Feimo wilt. As an outstanding member of the Qin family, he was proud of his identity as a member of the Qin family since he was a child, and worked diligently to build the Qin family in the new era. Who would have thought that after a death, he would no longer be a member of the Qin family! Qin Feimo was extremely sad.
Qin Minghuang, who almost shut himself up with this sentence, changed his tone and said, "But, brother, although we are not a member of the Qin family physically, we are still a member of the Qin family in spirit!"
Qin Feimo pounded the table: "That's right, we are the spiritual Qin family!"
Qin Minghuang said again: "In this case, it doesn't matter whether my children's bloodline belongs to the Qin family or not. We are all spiritually Qin family members!"
Qin Feimo was convinced by her and showed a gratified look, "You are right, I am too obsessed with formalities." As expected of a clan's daughter, she has been influenced by the clan's god, so her awareness is better than that of ordinary people.
After some minor ideological problems were resolved, Ji Lun, who had replenished his water, rejoined the topic. He was still very polite in front of outsiders, wearing his human skin appropriately, and his limbs did not pop out of his body casually, so as not to add any extra psychological pressure to Qin Feimo.
The three of them enjoyed the hometown food prepared by Ji Lun while talking about Kong Hai. Knowing that this son-in-law of the Qin family came from the great Kong Hai above, Qin Feimo talked more about Kong Hai with them.
He came from District 6, which was already the central area and also a large economic zone with many talented people. Ever since Kong Hai appeared, the districts in the central circle began to conduct various researches.
"However, there has been no progress in the research on the Sky Sea. None of our planes and fighter planes can get close to the Sky Sea. At most, they can only get within a range of 20 meters. It seems that the Sky Sea in the sky has a special magnetic field that repels outsiders from entering the Sky Sea. As far as I know, several detection planes have suddenly crashed when approaching the Sky Sea."
Qin Feimo's body is not just that of an ordinary rich second-generation. His family happens to have relatives participating in a relatively secretive air and sea research project, so Qin Feimo has also heard some rumors and has a more detailed understanding of it.
"Not long ago, they tried to launch a probe into the Sky Sea, but it also failed. The probe reached the vicinity of the Sky Sea, but could not move forward before entering the sea water. Without access to the Sky Sea, all research can only be conducted on the ground, so now everyone is studying the creatures in the Sky Sea."
At this point, Qin Feimo glanced at Ji Lun, his expression becoming slightly serious, "Ming Huang, have you ever thought about what the consequences will be if his identity is discovered?"
He could accept the Konghai creature turning into a human and living in human society, not because he was kind and advocated harmony between man and nature, but because Qin Minghuang was an important relative of his. If it were anyone else, he would never allow such a dangerous creature to live so freely around him.
Qin Minghuang glanced at Ji Lun, grabbed his hand under the table, and felt him wrapping himself gently.
"I am a daughter of a clan, and I have received professional training." She knew everything. Since she chose to accept Ji Lun, he was her relative. No matter when and where, to protect the relatives she loved, what kind of mental preparation was needed
She lost her parents when she was very young, and her parents left her with mostly bad memories. She never thought that she would really start a family with someone one day, and she doubted her ability to fulfill the responsibilities of a parent. However, this strange giant octopus invaded her life in a completely unreasonable manner.
She didn't even have time to analyze her own heart. This octopus, who could only smell her various subtle emotions, had already exposed her inner emotional changes. He didn't need her to say it, he understood. He wouldn't listen to her stubborn excuses, he could tell whether she liked it or not just by smelling her scent.
What else can I do? I have to accept it.
When it was getting dark, Qin Feimo stood up and said goodbye, "I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I'll go back first."
Qin Minghuang stood up to see him off, knocked on the fish tank, and said jokingly: "Come out and see your uncle off."
Twelve little jellyfish floated up with a popping sound. They were born not long ago and had not yet learned to change color. Their whole bodies were a lovely pink. Now they all rushed towards Qin Feimo, scaring him so much that his serious face almost broke.
"Pah." A small pink jellyfish just happened to stick to his glasses. These little creatures like smooth surfaces, especially glass, so they almost all stuck to Qin Feimo's glasses.
Qin Feimo's eyes suddenly went dark and he subconsciously took a step back, almost spraining his waist.
Qin Minghuang tried hard not to laugh and got them all back. Qin Feimo's face was stiff, and he wiped his glasses with water stains, "I understand... You are reminding me that I didn't give them red envelopes." He pretended to take out money.
"Oh, you're too polite. No, no, no." Qin Minghuang said with a smile and stretched out his hand to take the red envelope.
Putting his glasses back on, Qin Feimo said to her seriously, "If you encounter any problems, you can always come to me for help. Although the Qin family is no longer here, you still have me as your brother."
"Thank you, brother." Qin Minghuang said with a smile: "I will remember to give you a red envelope when you have a baby in the future."
Qin Feimo: “…” No matter what, he couldn’t possibly have twelve children, so this business would definitely lose money no matter how you calculated it.
Ji Lun drove him to a nearby airport. Qin Minghuang looked at the two men sitting in the car, one in front of the other. "Do you really not need me to accompany you?"
Ji Lun said: "No need, dear, you should go and have a rest. You have been working hard all day."
Qin Minghuang, has done nothing except talking.
Qin Feimo also said: "No need."
Qin Minghuang deliberately asked: "Brother, aren't you afraid of him?"
Qin Feimo said calmly: "I am a member of the Qin family, I am not afraid."
His tone was much calmer than last time. He really grew up today.
The car left the villa area and silently passed by rows of slowly lit street lights. Qin Feimo looked at the high towers in the distance outside the window, clasped his hands on his knees and said, "Take Ming Huang away from human society as soon as possible and live in a place covered by the sky and sea."
Ji Lun looked at the road ahead, "She is a human being, and she prefers living here."
"Stupid." Qin Feimo said bluntly: "Can't you see that she is always ready to leave here!"
Although Qin Minghuang did not elaborate during the conversation just now, he could tell that she had no intention of finding a job and settling down here, and she was just thinking about him.
Ji Lun ignored him and repeated, "She is a human being, and she prefers living here."
The pleasant communication before seemed like an illusion. Without Qin Minghuang, this guy became a parrot and was particularly perfunctory.
After seeing off the guests, the family of fifteen returned to their previous lives. A couple, twelve jellyfish, and a puppy formed a feeding food chain.
Ji Lun fed Qin Minghuang, and Qin Minghuang fed the little jellyfish fruits, biscuit crumbs and other food, while the little jellyfish were keen on feeding the puppies. They used their delicate tentacles to wrap up the dog food, flew in the air, and let the puppies jump up to eat it.
Qin Minghuang suspected that they were training dogs, and he had evidence. After their training, the puppy Xiangxiang could jump very high and even jump through hoops in the air - a group of small jellyfish formed a circle in the air, and the puppy could skillfully jump back and forth between them.
Not only that, the little jellyfish also made various shapes in the air, such as arrows, hearts, numbers and various signs that have appeared on TV. It can be seen that these little guys are not only smart, but also very studious.
After they were able to stay out of the water for a while, Qin Minghuang took them out for a walk with the dog. She wore a wide-brimmed hat, and the little jellyfish stuck to the brim of the hat, or lay in her hair pretending to be hairpins, and stuck to her ears pretending to be earrings.
Because of the sudden birth of the little jellyfish, she hadn't gone out to play for several days. After seeing that they were able to adapt to the outside world, she thought about where to go for fun and take the little ones to see the world.
"I heard that an aquarium will open nearby tomorrow." Ji Lun sorted out the various magazines that she had messed up and told her the news he heard while buying groceries.
"Then let's go and take a look." Qin Minghuang made the decision.
Ji Lun found a glass cup and put the little jellyfishes in it. The next day, Qin Minghuang carried the glass cup with a cover on the outside and went to the newly opened aquarium with Ji Lun.
There are seas on the ground in this world, but the seas are basically in uninhabited areas. Ordinary people may never see the sea in their lifetime. Therefore, aquariums with marine life are relatively rare and can attract many tourists. Even though the recent sea scare has made many people afraid of the sea, aquariums under the banner of marine life still have a large number of visitors.
Mixed in the crowd, Qin Minghuang and Ji Lun were just ordinary tourists, not conspicuous at all. Near them was a group of students who came to visit in a group. They stood outside the four-meter-high glass curtain wall, watching the fish swimming through the artificial reefs in the glass, chirping non-stop.
"That fish is really beautiful, it's colorful."
“That’s the ribbon fish.”
"Wow, that fish is so big, won't it eat other fish?"
"If you put them together, they won't eat it."
"Hey, why are you staring at the rock? Look at the fish."
"No... I think the stone seems to move. It has legs."
When Qin Minghuang heard this, he subconsciously looked at the group of students. A little girl hesitantly pointed to a stone at the foot of the reef mountain.
Her friends didn't believe it. They stared at it for a long time, but didn't see the stone move. They laughed at her for being dazzled and then rushed to the next attraction.
Qin Minghuang looked at the stone with a subtle expression.
She knew this thing and had eaten it before. When she was in Inle City, she had eaten a lot of random sea creatures. One time, Ji Lun brought her something like this. It looked like stone, but there was a crack underneath. If you pried it open, you could see the meat inside. It really had legs and could run. Those legs tasted like crab legs.
She smacked her lips and decided to buy some crabs and steam them later.
Now the question is, this aquarium is full of land and sea creatures, how did an air and sea creature get in
She was just about to ask Ji Lun to help identify whether it was that thing, when she saw him looking at a jellyfish in a glass curtain wall next to her.
"That jellyfish is a tetrahedron, right? What's wrong?" Qin Minghuang said.
Ji Lun said softly, "No, it's a kind of jellyfish in the empty sea. It can transform into the appearance of other jellyfish."
Qin Minghuang: “…” It turns out there is more than one stowaway.
She looked suspiciously at the next huge aquarium and found three more species of sea creatures. These outsiders swam leisurely in the glass tank, perfectly blending in with other native creatures.
There are also many harmless creatures in the sky and sea. Since they are harmless, let them stay here.
Tired of walking, the two sat down under a glass column in the lobby to rest. The inside of this huge column was also blue sea water, with no landscaping inside, only a group of small fish swimming around.
Suddenly, tourists passing by stopped in amazement and asked, "Look! What is that?"
Qin Minghuang was eating the snacks that Ji Lun brought. Noticing that they were all staring at what was behind him, he felt something was wrong and turned around, also startled.
Inside the glass pillars, there were dots of light, as dreamy as the Milky Way in the sky. These tiny dots of light, as tiny as dust, were circling their backs—or, to be more precise, circling Ji Lun's back.
Qin Minghuang grabbed Ji Lun and left the glass pillar, blending into the crowd. While the crowd was looking at the light they had never seen before, they walked behind the crowd.
"Is that also a Konghai creature?" Qin Minghuang asked quietly.
Ji Lun: "Yes, it is a kind of plankton, a companion group of our tribe, which survives by cleaning our limbs."
I see, it's like the relationship between the crocodile and the toothpick bird.
Sensing that the aura of the big boss who provided the food was gradually fading away, the excited little spots of light dimmed, and the breathtaking "Milky Way" also disappeared, causing the onlookers to sigh with regret.
