Chapter 1392: Considering The Idea
Wekil"s eyes narrowed when he saw Lilia and Hurio acting like that. "What"s going on between you two?"
Only then did Hurio remember, saying, "Oh, right. Ancestor doesn"t know it yet due to being confined in this place for a long time. She"s my girlfriend."
Lilia"s face went red after that since it was the first time Hurio said it out loud. Well, everyone always knew that they liked each other. Besides, she was even happier now that he said that.
Unfortunately for her, Wekil immediately rejected the idea. "No can do. You two better get away from each other right now. Hurio has an extremely pure bloodline, which is rare. It could as well be called a miracle since he was born a mixed-blood, but his Crystal Angel race bloodline took over during his life. His ident.i.ty as a dual affinity Crystal Angel is too important to be mixed with just anybody, especially someone with so little talent and mixed blood like you. We need him to procreate with another member of our race, one with a bloodline as pure as his or as close as possible."
This time, even Mira and Lamanto were taken aback. Looking at their faces, it was obvious that even they had no idea about this. Hurio, of course, hated the suggestion. "To h.e.l.l with that. I won"t take anyone else other than Lilia!"
Wekil"s expression darkened after that, seeing that things were not going as he wished them to. "Are you two really willing to put the future of our race, which includes the same people behind you, in jeopardy? All because of some love bulls.h.i.t? Before you answer, know that your decision will implicate the lives of countless Crystal Race beings, pretty much dictating their life and death. Are you really okay with that?"
Hurio and Lilia were taken aback after that. "This..."
Rean couldn"t help but look at Roan and ask through their Soul Connection, "Errr... should we even be here to hear such a discussion?"
Roan shook his head in response. "I believe they simply forgot we existed."
"Oh, so I wasn"t the only one," Rean replied. "What should we do?"
Roan shrugged his shoulders as he replied, "Isn"t that obvious? We stay where we are with our mouths shut. I know what you"re thinking. If it was just a problem between Hurio and Lilia, then I wouldn"t mind if you tried to vouch for them. However, do you really want to meddle in a topic that can ultimately decide the future of their Crystal Angel race?"
Rean immediately shook his head. "Not at all. I do consider them to be more or less friendly, but our relations don"t go any deeper than that."
Roan agreed with Rean. "Exactly. Besides, siding with their relationship might anger Wekil, and it"s definitely not a good idea to anger someone like him. We still need his help to reach the Treavin Continent."
With that, Rean called their attention, saying, "Ahem... I believe this problem doesn"t have much to do with us. Would it be okay if you teleport us to Treavin Continent already?" Sure enough, he truly didn"t want to get involved.
Only then did Wekil remember the twins" group was still there. Surprisingly though, Wekil pulled Rean into the problem. "You seem to have some relationship with those two. Since you already heard what I said, help me convince these two as they still seem pretty unwilling."
Hurio and Lilia"s eyes lit up as they looked at Rean. Perhaps he could convince Wekil to let them be. After all, Wekil owed Rean for his escapade.
Rean"s mouth twitched in response. "What"s with all that sparkle in your eyes? You can"t really expect me to go against this monster"s words, right?" Nevertheless, he had to say something. "Cough, cough... this is a family issue. I don"t think it"s a good idea to let an outsider like me meddle with it, don"t you think?"
Wekil shook his head, saying, "It"s fine. Go ahead and say what you think."
Once again, Rean internally complained, "Why the h.e.l.l do we still get involved in all this bulls.h.i.t? Can"t we have some nice life and death situations, escape from them with good rewards, and get out? We were about to be sent to Treavin Continent without having to worry about anything else anymore, for f.u.c.k"s sake!"
Of course, Rean didn"t say that out loud. "Well... how about this? You said he only needs to procreate with pure bloodline Crystal Angel race members, right? So, how about you let Hurio and Lilia stay together but get him to do some loveless procreation with others?"
Lilia couldn"t help but tear up as she looked at Hurio and asked, "Are you going to betray me?"
Hurio immediately shook his head. "Of course not!"
Wekil"s expression went dark after that. "What kind of upbringing did you have in your life?"
Rean had already started to get angry. "Hey! I simply tried to give a solution where everyone would be happy. Hurio and Lilia can marry, while Wekil would get the pure bloodline children he wishes. If you have a better idea, then go ahead and say it! First of all, it was you guys who asked for my opinion."
Mira couldn"t help but say after that, "To be honest, that was quite the s.h.i.tty opinion..."
It was then that Kentucky remembered something, saying, "Rean, Roan, can"t we use artificial insemination?"
The twins could already imagine where Kentucky heard that from. "It was definitely Sister Orb."
However, those words caught the attention of Wekil"s group. "What do you mean by artificial insemination?"
Rean pondered over it for a bit, eventually explaining how it worked. "Simply put, Hurio would never touch any other woman, but he could still have children with them. From where we came, quite a few couples used this method. To be honest, the chances of impregnation are much higher like that."
This was such a novelty for Wekil and the company. It was the first time they heard about it. "What about the Yin and Yang of men and women to generate the new life?"
Roan snorted in response after hearing that. "I"m impressed that someone at your level believes in that bulls.h.i.t. As long as you have the sperm and the egg, everything else doesn"t matter."
Lamanto was even more curious, asking, "How come the chances are higher?"
"Because the seed is delivered directly into the right place. It wouldn"t need to make its way to the egg, avoiding most obstructions," Rean explained. He then proceeded to give a more "modern" explanation of the subject.
Surprisingly, Wekil and his race"s members seemed to be seriously considering the idea.
