Fox Song

Chapter 165 Hybrid Vigor
Jinling.

Qinhuai River.

In the courtyard of a villa, a babbling little boy was walking unsteadily.

Opposite the child was a young woman.

The young woman has a variety of postures and boundless charm.

"Qiuqiu, come here, come! Come to your mother!" The beautiful young woman stretched out her arms to him and said softly.

The child named Qiuqiu held a rattle in his right hand and walked towards the woman, swaying step by step.

Nine steps... five steps... two steps...

"Yeah! My Qiuqiu is so awesome! My baby is so great! Mm!" The beautiful young woman hugged the little boy who came close to her tightly. As she spoke, she kissed him hard on the cheek.

"Lanlan!"

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

The beautiful young woman was shocked when she heard this, and suddenly looked back——

At the entrance of the villa courtyard, two people were standing with smiles on their faces.

Those two people were none other than Yin Yue and Xiao Jing.

They had been here for a while, but they saw Lan Lan playing with her toddler son and didn't want to disturb this warm scene.

"Sister...Xiaojing!" Lanlan choked up and then walked quickly forward.

Yinyue and Xiaojing also opened their arms and hugged Lanlan.

The three of them met again after a long separation, and one can imagine how excited they were.

The little boy naturally didn't know.

He looked at the two strange women hugging his mother, his bright black eyes rolling around, and he stretched out his chubby little hands to scratch Yin Yue's arm.

Yin Yue and the other two let go of each other's hands, but excitement was still evident on their faces.

"I haven't seen you for more than three years. Your child has grown so big! Lanlan, what's his name?"

"Gu Xinglan!" Lan Lan said with a smile, "Naughty elf, nicknamed Qiuqiu!"

"Xinglan? Hmm, what a good name!"

After Yin Yue finished speaking, she opened her arms towards the little boy and said, "Come here, Qiuqiu! Give me a hug!"

"Okay, let me hold you!" Lanlan held her son and wanted to hand him to her.

Yin Yue reached out to take it, but unexpectedly Qiuqiu suddenly turned his head and lay on Lanlan's shoulder.

"Oh! You still don't want to!" Yin Yue held the little guy's delicate little hand and said with a smile.

"Let me do it!" Xiaojing said.

She walked behind Lan Lan and said to Qiu Qiu, "How about a hug from Auntie? Come on!"

Xiaoqiuqiu glanced at her and remained indifferent.

Xiaojing gently stroked his face and smiled helplessly.

"You idiot! You don't even give face to your aunt!"

"He's a little shy. His dad is often away from home, so he doesn't really want to be held by his dad!" Lan Lan said with a wry smile, "He just likes to stick to me and the nanny!"

"Oh, by the way, where is my brother-in-law? Why can't I see him?" Xiaojing asked.

"He hasn't replied yet! His company took on a project this month, and it is said that the client's requirements are quite high. A few days ago, a group of people went overseas for inspection." Lan Lan said, "Oh, don't stand outside, let's go inside and talk!"

"Okay! I'm really tired too!" Yin Yue said with a smile.

Lanlan called the nanny and handed her son Qiuqiu to her care, asking her to take him outside to play.

Then, Lanlan led Yinyue and Xiaojing into the villa.

When Xiaojing arrived at the living room, she saw the huge leather sofa and her eyes lit up. She threw herself into it without caring about her image.

Lazily lying on the sofa, Xiaojing slowly ate fresh fruit and couldn't help but sigh: "Lanlan, you are more comfortable at home! You can take care of your husband and children without any worries!"

"Hey, you don't know, it's not as easy as you think!"

Lan Lan heard this and shook her head.

Then, the air in the living room rippled, as if there was a breeze blowing on the face. Yin Yue and Xiao Jing were both stunned when they saw this.

Lan Lan actually opened a barrier to block the outsiders from listening.

"What happened? Is it necessary to be so cautious?" Yin Yue asked puzzledly.

"It's about our Qiuqiu!" Lanlan sat down on the sofa, looking rather unnatural.

"What's wrong with Qiuqiu? Isn't he fine?" Xiaojing couldn't help but ask.

"Xiaojing, do you still remember the story that my elder sister told me before, 'The Legend of the White Snake'?" Lanlan asked.

"Of course I remember! I remember we also analyzed that if the demon race and the human race combine and one of them reaches the Nascent Soul stage, it should be no problem for the two to have a child. It won't be a monster..." Xiao Jing said here, and suddenly sat up, with a look of horror on her face, "Could it be Qiuqiu, could it be you and Gu Zhengyang?"

"Ahem! You think too much! It's not that serious..."

Lan Lan almost choked and quickly explained.

"Really? You're so startled. Xiaojing, do you want to scare us to death?" Yin Yue said, "It's not like you haven't seen Qiuqiu before. How can it be what you imagined?"

"I just saw Sister Lanlan's serious look and got anxious!" Xiaojing said, "Sister Lanlan, what do you want to say?"

"Although Qiuqiu is not a monster, he is different from ordinary people!"

“Oh, what are the differences?”

"He was born after I was pregnant for fifteen months!"

"Fifteen months?" Yin Yue and Xiao Jing looked at each other in surprise.

They have lived in the human world for so many years that they naturally know that it takes ordinary people ten months to be pregnant.

"Yes. Fifteen months!" Lan Lan said.

"After Qiuqiu was born, the doctor couldn't even measure his blood type. His pulse was 60 beats per minute, while a baby's normal pulse is 120-140 beats per minute."

"Qiuqiu is young, but once he gets angry, he is incredibly powerful. Also, when I hold him to sleep, I always feel like he can hear my thoughts."

……

"You don't know, giving birth to him almost drove me crazy! There are many things I can't tell others, including Gu Zhengyang. Not only that, I have to deal with and cover up these abnormal problems, I can only keep them in my heart!"

Lan Lan finished speaking in one breath and finally couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"No wonder. When I first saw Qiuqiu, I felt a ray of light burst out from his crown. I touched his hand and felt that his muscles and bones were very good. He can be said to be a martial arts genius that only appears once in a thousand years!"

Why do these words feel so familiar?
Xiao Jing rolled her eyes at Yin Yue and said, "Big sister, Lan Lan is so anxious, how dare you tease her!"

"Don't worry, Lanlan, it's okay." Yin Yue smiled, "I just thought about it. The combination of humans and demons may not be as simple as we originally thought. But what you said is by no means a big problem. It should be a good thing. These just show that Qiuqiu is different from ordinary people, has amazing potential, and is a talent that can be cultivated!"

"Is it a case of complementary advantages and a strong alliance?" Xiaojing asked.

"I think so. This is what people often call hybrid advantage." Yin Yue pondered.

"Hybrid vigor? What is this?" Lan Lan asked, determined to get to the bottom of the matter.

"I once read a book about biological evolution written by an anthropologist. According to him, in the biological world, when two different plants or animals are hybridized, the various traits exhibited by the hybrid offspring may be better than those of the hybrid parents. For example, crops will produce more seeds and have higher yields; livestock will have more offspring and a higher survival rate. This is hybrid vigor." Yin Yue explained, "Hybridization produces advantages, which is a common phenomenon in the biological world. I think your combination with Gu Zhengyang should belong to this category. Qiuqiu is still young now, and his hidden potential has not yet been revealed. It may become more obvious in the future."

"Well, that's good! I was scared to death!" Lan Lan naturally believed Yin Yue's words and finally felt relieved.

"Alas, it was just a false alarm for you. Unlike us, we are suffering terribly!" Xiaojing sighed at an inappropriate time.

When Lan Lan heard this, she asked, "I was just about to ask you! You said you would be back in two or three months, why did it take so long? We were so worried!"

"Alas, Sister Lanlan, you don't know that my elder sister and I were framed and almost couldn't come back!"

"Ah, this is really true!" Lan Lan said in shock.

She turned to look at Yin Yue. Xiao Jing's words were never very reliable.

Yin Yue nodded and said, "Xiao Jing is telling the truth this time. We did run into some big trouble on this trip."

"Sister, what's going on? Tell me quickly!" Lanlan said anxiously.

"Xiaojing, come and talk to Lanlan." Yinyue said.

Xiao Jing's expression froze slightly when she heard this.

The void in front of her eyes seemed to suddenly crack, and a huge, jade-white hand stretched out from it.

The five fingers of his palm were spread out, covering the sky and the sun, and he slapped her directly!
