450: Children of God

The two arrived at the seafood restaurant on the fourth floor. The restaurant's ambiance was quite good, and its decor was very stylish.

It was dinnertime, and many tables in the restaurant were occupied, but there were still plenty of empty seats.

Most of the restaurant's service staff were robots; there was only a lobby manager and an assistant in the main hall.

Previously, it would have been almost impossible for two people to open such a large restaurant.

With industrial service robots, all of this was no longer a problem.

The two found a window seat and ordered some seafood and drinks.

Bai Yiming said, "Currently, the marine ecosystem is recovering the fastest. I just checked the ingredients here, and they are all artificially cultivated and have been inspected, so you can eat them with confidence."

Xiao Xiao looked at Bai Yiming and said, "It's fine even if they haven't been inspected. I'm immune to all poisons."

Bai Yiming laughed wryly and said, "Ah, I almost forgot, you are a God."

"Hey, you can't say that. Compared to my dad, I'm still far behind. Fortunately, my dad had me before he achieved godhood, otherwise, I wouldn't exist."

Bai Yiming was stunned and asked, "What, Gods can't have children?"

"Who can carry a God's child? At least an equivalent level is required!"

After Xiao Xiao answered, she suddenly felt something was off. She looked at Bai Yiming with a mischievous smile: "Oh, why are you interested in this question?"

Bai Yiming felt a bit embarrassed by Xiao Xiao's gaze. He scratched his head and explained, "I was just curious, just asking casually."

"Are you really just curious? No other reason?"

Bai Yiming felt a bit guilty from the questioning. He avoided Xiao Xiao's gaze and said, "Of course I'm just curious. So, can you..."

Seeing Bai Yiming's expression, Xiao Xiao decided not to tease him anymore and asked, "Want to know?"

"Yes, I want to know!"

"As I said, you need equivalent ability, and also be a demigod level with full elemental control; otherwise, I won't have children. My dad took me out and helped me absorb the energy of over a hundred supernovas to reach my current level, and I've already reached the peak. Even the Star River Civilization has to bow down to me."

Bai Yiming was stunned. The energy of a single sun was already terrifying for humans.

So what kind of existence was Xiao Xiao?

At this moment, the dishes were already on the table. Xiao Xiao picked up her chopsticks and said, "Come, eat. Don't think about all those random things."

"Xiao Xiao, will you find..."

Xiao Xiao looked at Bai Yiming and asked, "Find what? A boyfriend, or a husband? To be honest, I'm a bit of a clean freak when it comes to relationships. If I find someone and can't bear him children, won't I be making him infertile?"

This was a disguised rejection. Xiao Xiao naturally understood that the man in front of her liked her.

But the price of being a God was also cruel. Ever since Xiao Xiao achieved demigod status, she was no longer a pure human.

Bai Yiming stood up abruptly and said, "Xiao Xiao, I..."

Xiao Xiao, however, raised her hand and interrupted Bai Yiming, "I can live for a very, very long time. Don't tell me you like me or love me or anything like that."

Bai Yiming was stunned. Yes, why would you say 'love' to an immortal person?

Is human immortality the same as a God's immortality? Consciousness backup, upload, clone bodies—this kind of eternity is different from the eternity Xiao Xiao spoke of.

Thinking of this, Bai Yiming's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

"Xiao Xiao, I..."

"Alright, let's eat quickly!" Xiao Xiao gestured for him to eat first. She didn't really want to discuss this issue.

There was nothing to discuss, and no need to dwell on this matter.

Bai Yiming heard her, sat back down, and picked up his chopsticks, eating silently with his head down.

"If you keep a straight face, looking so grim and resentful, then I don't want you as my guide," Xiao Xiao said unhappily.

Upon hearing Xiao Xiao's words, Bai Yiming immediately lifted his head and forced a smile: "What are you talking about? I'm just thinking if I should help you catch that scoundrel later?"

Xiao Xiao looked at Bai Yiming's somewhat stiff smile and understood that he was still troubled by what had just happened.

"Mm, yes, you can. Wait for my message, I will notify you."

"How will you notify me?" Bai Yiming asked.

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly, crooked her finger at Bai Yiming, and said, "Come here!"

This gesture made Bai Yiming's heart stir.

He leaned slightly closer to Xiao Xiao, and she gently touched his forehead. Bai Yiming shivered as a very faint electric current passed from Xiao Xiao's finger, and at that instant, a dull thud echoed in his ears. Immediately after, Xiao Xiao's voice resonated in his mind.

"I'll notify you like this!"

He looked at Xiao Xiao, and she winked at him. Immediately after, Xiao Xiao's voice came into his mind again.

"Don't look at me, hurry and eat!"

"You're truly beautiful!" Bai Yiming didn't speak aloud, only thought it, but a faint blush spread across Xiao Xiao's face.

"Smooth talker!" Xiao Xiao said.

Now, it was Bai Yiming's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Xiao Xiao, you, you can hear my thoughts?"

Xiao Xiao looked at Bai Yiming's surprised expression and smiled, nodding: "Yes, but don't worry. When I actively call you and establish consciousness communication, I can hear what you're thinking. So, in the future, when we communicate consciously, don't let your mind wander."

Bai Yiming scratched his head awkwardly after hearing that: "This, doesn't this mean there's no privacy at all?"

"If you don't like it, I can just revoke it. If you can't even stand this little test, how dare you like me?"

"Don't revoke it. My heart for you is as clear as the sun and moon; it can withstand any test." Bai Yiming's mood suddenly improved. Although Xiao Xiao hadn't made any explicit promises, her actions had given him a chance.

"After dinner, we'll split up. You go to the Bureau of Public Security to find someone. Remember, don't let any information leak. Since You Tianjiao dared to do such a thing, it's possible he has connections higher up. You should directly use the Bureau of Public Security's phone to remotely contact the Space City General Headquarters and have them directly order people to assist you."

"Is it really necessary to go through all that trouble?" Bai Yiming said.

"Yes, a little trouble is good. If we just directly arrest him, especially me, directly arresting him would be using privilege. I still need to blend in with the crowd, and public perception is very important, so listen to me!"

Bai Yiming nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

After eating, Bai Yiming went directly to the Donghai City Bureau of Public Security Headquarters.

Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, returned to the hotel. The time was approaching, and with a slight thought, her clothes slowly transformed. Moments later, they became a magnificent evening gown.

The deep blue evening gown was form-fitting, accentuating her graceful figure. Her entire demeanor became noble and elegant, yet without losing her sexiness.

Xiao Xiao styled her long hair into an updo, and light flashed in her hand as a pair of exquisite earrings adorned her earlobes.

Looking at herself in the mirror, a slight smile appeared on Xiao Xiao's lips.
