Mu Sijie received a message from the Academy of Sciences for the first time. They said that Lan Lan's mother, the female ancient corpse brought back from ancient Earth, had been resurrected. They asked him to bring Lan Lan to the Academy to meet his mother.
Mu Sijie suspected that his optical computer had a virus, or that something had gone wrong at the Academy.
An ancient corpse resurrected? Only a madman would believe that.
Especially an ancient corpse from over three thousand years ago, from the ancient Earth era!
A year ago, the Academy of Sciences had announced to the entire galaxy that this ancient corpse held immense archaeological value and was crucial for their research on pre-gene mutation humans of ancient Earth.
Mu Sijie's first action was to have his friends perform a top-level virus scan on his optical computer. His computer contained many important documents, and he processed numerous matters daily through it, all of which involved the interests of the entire Mu Group. This could not be taken lightly.
However, after waiting for a day, the scan results showed his optical computer was safe and free of anomalies. It hadn't been infected by a virus?
Could the staff at the Academy of Sciences have made a mistake?
Mu Sijie felt a pang of confusion.
But that afternoon, staff from the Academy of Sciences directly came to his home and personally informed him of the resurrection of the ancient Earth female corpse. They also solemnly reminded him to bring his child to the Academy to meet his mother that weekend.
Mu Sijie's mind went blank. Finally, he couldn't help but force the other party to show their Academy of Sciences work ID. He examined it carefully and confirmed that this was a genuine Academy staff member, not some imposter trying to deceive him. Only then did his dazed mind begin to process the news.
To be honest, the news was too sci-fi; he found it difficult to digest.
Fortunately, the Academy of Sciences staff seemed to understand his feelings. They didn't leave in a hurry but patiently sat with him in the living room for three hours.
It wasn't until he came back to his senses, pinched himself, and then discreetly pinched the other person, confirming that he felt pain and the other person was real, not a hallucination or a dream, that he could begin to accept it.
The Academy staff kindly offered him a few words of comfort, reminded him again to bring his child to meet his mother at the Academy that weekend, and then departed.
It was time to pick up the child from kindergarten. Mu Sijie went as usual. On the way back, he told Lan Lan about the Academy's notification.
Lan Lan was still very young and didn't quite grasp the meaning of an ancient corpse resurrecting. After hearing his words, the child's eyes visibly brightened, and his tone carried a hint of excitement, "So, Dad, you mean my mother is alive, and I can go see her this weekend?"
Mu Sijie looked at his child, his heart filled with complex emotions, but in the end, he nodded, "Yes."
The child became visibly happier, but Mu Sijie couldn't help but remind him, "Lan Lan, your mother... your mother is not like other mothers. If you really meet her, you need to be careful."
At that time, Mu Sijie couldn't fully comprehend what Lu Wanqing's resurrection entailed. He was instinctively wary, especially since that woman had a connection to his child.
Taking his four-year-old son to meet a woman resurrected in the state of an ancient corpse, Mu Sijie felt a great deal of worry.
That evening, Mu Sijie secretly researched a lot of information on ancient corpse resurrection, but he couldn't find a single case of a genuine ancient corpse being resurrected.
Someone who had been dead for over three thousand years suddenly coming back to life?
Mu Sijie thought about it again and again, finding it utterly absurd.
Could this be a conspiracy by the Academy of Sciences?
Had the higher-ups finally lost patience with the Mu family's monopoly on federal mechs and decided to make a move against them?
Time flew by, and it was the weekend. The Academy of Sciences had instructed them to bring the child to meet the mother resurrected from the ancient corpse state.
However, just as they were about to leave, his optical computer suddenly received another message!
Because they had cultivated a child using Lu Wanqing's genes and their own without her permission, according to federal law, they were responsible to Lu Wanqing. This meant they had to marry Lu Wanqing, the resurrected ancient corpse!
The moment he read this message, Mu Sijie's leg, which was already outside the door, felt weak. He almost instinctively took a step back, wanting to back out.
He regretted it. If he had known that female corpse would resurrect, he would never have applied for child cultivation using ancient Earth genes.
"Dad?" Lan Lan noticed his backward movement and looked up at him, confused.
Mu Sijie looked at Lan Lan, whom he had raised with his own hands, and suddenly felt...
There was nothing to regret?
If he hadn't applied for ancient Earth genes back then, he wouldn't have such a smart and obedient son like Lan Lan.
Mu Sijie calmed himself down, then feigned composure, brought his child into the hovercar, and headed to the Academy of Sciences.
When he and Lan Lan arrived at the Academy, they encountered Admiral Zhong Li Feiyu and his son Xiao Yi.
Later, people from the Yu family of the Academy of Sciences' Botany Department also arrived, bringing a young girl.
Finally, Wei Xingzhou, the son of the Wei family, also came with his perpetually crying daughter.
With more people present, it suddenly felt less frightening?
And regarding the message from the main computer about marrying Lu Wanqing, he suddenly realized that perhaps he wasn't the only one who had to marry her?
Putting aside the genes that were stolen by space pirates, there were now four other people at the Academy. Lu Wanqing was only one person; she couldn't possibly marry all four of them simultaneously, could she?
With these thoughts, the matter of Lu Wanqing no longer seemed so terrifying.
Under the arrangement of the Academy of Sciences staff, their group soon formally met Lu Wanqing.
At first glance, Mu Sijie was somewhat surprised. The girl before him was far more beautiful than he had imagined. Most importantly, she looked like a living person, not an ancient corpse!
Immediately after, Zhong Li Feiyu spoke first. He proposed compensation to Lu Wanqing, offering a large sum if she was willing to give up marrying him!
Then, Wei Xingzhou eagerly made a similar offer.
Next was Yu Nong.
He was the last, and his offer was essentially a subconscious act of self-protection.
Although Lu Wanqing appeared normal, they still couldn't be certain of her true condition at that time. The prospect of marrying her home was still daunting.
After making these offers, he was still quite fearful. He even secretly examined himself several times, realizing he had dressed quite handsomely that day. He even felt a pang of regret.
If he had known, he should have deliberately put on a "ugly" appearance when leaving home and dressed more poorly. That way, Lu Wanqing's chances of choosing him as her husband would have been much smaller.
