193 The Magic of Attraction (1/2)
Xi Shi does not feel any different after consuming the serum I had provided, but that is to be expected, as it does take a bit of time for the retrovirus to work and repair the damage done to her genetic code.
Her body would also need the time to readjust to the changes. It might also be a shock to her nervous system.
Obviously, I can speed things up with my power over time, but it is not really necessary or warranted at the moment. It is also not a good thing due to me being here personally, standing so close to her.
Even though this is not my real body, but a biomechanical avatar, I still radiate the same presence and brainwave patterns. This is because the avatar was fabricated based on my physiology after all, hence it is still is me if I was examined under a microscope.
If I was actually here with my real fleshy body, the sexual attraction hat Xi Shi feels towards me would be magnitudes greater despite not realizing the feeling herself.
And as her body returns to its original and evolved state, she will not be able to help herself when she is near me. My aura and presence are like potent pheromone to her.
That is why I had stated that it is literally within her gene. The desire to mate and propagate the species are hardwire into her evolved physiology, and I am the best possible candidate due to being far more evolved than her. Than any evolved in existence, really.
Of course, if Xi Shi or any of the other Evolved find someone more advanced than me biologically, they would naturally be attracted to that person, wishing to mate with them, as they would give them a far more powerful offspring.
I don't think that will be a problem in the future, considering that I will always be the most biologically advanced person around. If not, I will just accelerate my evolution.
But that does leave me with a dilemma. Not a mortally questionable dilemma, however. It is more like my preference. Preference to have any further children.
”Thank you, senior brother.”
Xi Shi thanks, making me nod in approval without actually eyeing her. My attention remains elsewhere at the moment.
As long as Xi Shi knows where she stands, she will remain very respectful. She will learn the truth about what she is eventually, or when I deem it is necessary for her to know.
Keeping her in the dark forever is an option, but not one I would consider for procreation purposes. It seems to make the feeling of attraction stronger, and I am unsure the reason why currently.
Maybe all emotions and relationships lead to the same biological desire in all Evolved? The biological desire to procreate and produce the strongest and most evolved offspring. A lot more data is needed for me to reach a conclusion.
I am sounding so much like a scientist.
In any case, for now, I prefer Xi Shi to be ignorance of our biological relationship. It will slow down her growing attraction to me. It also makes her a lot more humble, not to mention strive harder to become more powerful.
”You are most welcome, junior sister. Your power and ability will gradually become stronger over time, as long as you continue to take the serum that I will provide, at least until your body no longer requires it. That shouldn't take long, about a few serums or so.”
I response and continue to fan myself rather casually.
The third stage of the serum will not be ready for a few more days or so. This is due to the complexity of reversing the damage done to her genetic code.
It is also a very complicated process in retaining her Chimera abilities while returning her to being one of the Evolved.
With my power, I can return her to her evolved state immediately, but that is not an optimal option. I prefer that Xi Shi to retain her Chimera abilities if possible, and besides, it is a good learning progress for Legion.
Legion will need the experience, just to help me deal with this kind of problem in the future.
I am sure there will be more instances that Evolved devolved to become Hybrids, thus requiring me to undo the changes.
And I do wonder if there is anyone who will be born with both Hybrid and Evolved abilities. I hope so, as it would be quite an interesting specimen.
Natural evolution seems to be the best way to achieve biological perfection. Mother Nature seems to have something in mind for the human race, and I wonder if humanity is truly a biological accident.
I will need to do more research on this.
”But unless you wish to become a mindless rampaging monster like Yang, I suggest that you follow all of my instruction without any deviations.”
I continue with certainty that Xi Shi understands. What happens to Yang serves more than one purpose just like I have always preferred.
There is no need to do two things when one thing can accomplish both objectives.
”I definitely will, senior brother. Please believe in me.”
Xi Shi responses and cups her hands together to give a bow. With the current setting and our adorned hanfu clothes, it truly does feel like we are hundreds of years in the past. It wouldn't be so bad.
”Hey! You two! Get down from there!”
Someone has to ruin this perfect moment, irking me.
It is one of the film crews, who are here to help out with one of the scenes.
More like actually preparing the setting to film the scene. Most of the crewmen are not here yet.
I smile faintly and eye the man, taking detailed note of the production company symbol emblemed on his uniform. It is quite an expensive uniform, considering it was provided by one of the biggest studios in China if not the biggest.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
And unlike blockbuster movies being produced endlessly in Hollywood, the Chinese audiences are far more interested in long-drawn out epic drama.
Drama is similar to serialized television show in the United States, just with plenty more costumes and set pieces. Also, the drama isn't designed to be on air forever, so there is a definite ending to the story, thus allowing the audience some form of closure instead being left hanging.
Something that happens so often with television series in the United States. There is no helping it due to budget cuts or loss of popularity.
Since this branch of Terra Entertainment has a head start, about a decade worth, it is already starting to adapt several of Jin Yong's earlier works, namely the Book and the Sword, Sword Stained with Royal Blood, and the Legend of the Condor Heroes.
It would be a few more years until the Deer and the Cauldron, also known as the Duke of Mount Deer, gets a proper live adaptation with any real budget. Not would but will since I plan to dominate every branch of the entertainment industry in every major country around the globe.
”Pardon us, but we are just sightseeing because the scene is just too breathtaking.”
I response and head down the stone steps to the bottom.
Xi Shi follows me closely behind while glaring deadly at the man. Something that seems unnecessary, as he is simply doing the job. Besides, the company did rent this whole premise for the entire day, so there should be no tourists around here whatsoever.
”Sightseeing? Are you serious? Which department are you from?”
The man calls out, seemingly very annoyed at my response, but that annoyance fades away as quickly as his eyes land on Xi Shi.
I do not need to infest his brain with micromachines to know exactly what he is thinking.
”We are not from any department, unfortunately, so sorry for disrupting your work.”
I answer, but the man is no longer hearing me.
He is being completely mesmerized by Xi Shi's beauty, as she is more beautiful and elegant the leading actresses. Probably. That is just an assumption on my part, but it is a good assumption.
Besides, Xi Shi has this majestic glow around her even though she could not see it. In fact, no one could actually see it besides me.
And there is a reason for that.
”We are sightseeing, and there is no need for you to bother us.”
