Chapter 130: The Real Inheritor

“Dad, you look familiar!”
“Dad, I heard that you would teach me how to be a bloodling!”
“Dad, you look so young and you aren’t very tall…”
Li Zheng looked Yao Si up and down, then suddenly poked Yao Qian who was by the side. “Eh bro, why does my dad seem so girly?”
“…”
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
“I am a girl!” Yao Si howled.
“Ah?!” Li Zheng was even more taken aback as he glanced at Yao Qian in surprise. “Bro, even females can be fathers here? The technology here sure is advanced!”
“…” Yao Si.
“…” Mu Xuan.
“…” Yao Qian.
Yao Si was increasingly more confused. What exactly was happening? Why was Li Zheng suddenly calling her dad?
“Your Majesty, Your Highness.” Yao Qian sighed deeply. “You have seen it yourself. This is the situation!”
This? What’s this? Please take care of this illiterate here. Clarify yourself!
“Wait a minute, what did you just call yourself?” Yao Si suddenly remembered the way Li Zheng had addressed himself.
“Yao Si!” Li Zheng answered smoothly without a second’s consideration. He then added, “That’s the only name I remember, even though I have no idea why I was given such an inauspicious name. Yao Si, Yao Si!”
“…” Yao Si felt like she’d been punched in the gut. How dare you despise my name after plagiarizing it!
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
“After the memory is inherited, this is an experience that all inheritors go through,” Yao Qian explained. “The memories from the converter are transferred to the inheritor while all others are removed.”
“Ah, I’m not called Yao Si? I see…” Li Zheng heaved a sigh of relief at the discovery. “I was wondering why this memory is so girly and weird. ”
Yao Si was growing confused. Previously, Yao Qian had mentioned that Li Zhen only remembered his life on the Blue Planet. Then what he just said…
Her heart sank as she peaked at Yao Qian. “Are you trying to say that… I’m the one who converted him?”
“Yeah!” Yao Qian nodded vigorously as he continued to point at the screen in front of them. “His DNA matches yours completely. There isn’t a question about it; he is indeed your inheritor.”
Yao Si’s face twitched as she continued to tap on the screen with persistence. It was only when she reached the last line of the result paper did she see two defining words: Sixth generation!
Si-Six… Sixth generation! Why the sixth generation?
○|￣|_
Mu Xuan was a fourth-generation bloodling, so if he had been the converter, his inheritor would belong to the fifth generation. Besides, he had mentioned that after awakening the ancestral bloodline, he wasn’t able to convert anyone. Thus, the only one in the entire bloodling race who could convert someone to a sixth generation bloodling was….
“…”
F*ck! She had really converted Li Zheng!
But how had it happened? She didn’t do anything!
Wait a moment!
Yao Si remembered that when Li Zheng had pierced her heart with the sword, she had spat blood at him. After that, before he had fainted, blood had begun flowing into him. She had assumed that it was a hallucination but at that time, he had been absorbing her blood? Did that trigger the second conversion?
“Mu Xuan…” She turned toward the person behind her.
“Since it’s a second conversion, he will be considered a new blooding.” Mu Xuan’s face looked worse than hers as he glared at Li Zheng coldly. “Arrange it according to how we treat new bloodlings.”
With a last glance at Li Zheng, he pulled Yao Si out of the room.
“Ah?” We’re going to leave just like that, without clarifying the situation? Is that really all right?
Yao Qian was caught off guard. Before he could process the situation, the oblivious Li Zheng poked him once more before asking in a naive tone: “Hey, bro, is that fierce looking person my… grandfather?”
“…”
Yao Si’s feet turned jelly, and she almost tripped. Even Mu Xuan had frozen slightly before pulling her away even more anxiously.
All these inheritees are indeed so hatable!

Li Zheng was now Yao Si’s inheritor. It was a truth purer than 24k gold. Despite the number of tests she went through, the results were all the same.
Yao Si had never expected to one day experience being a dad…
She wasn’t sure what kind of experience it was… But Mu Xuan’s expression was horrible; he looked as though he had been constipated for a few months. Even from far away, she could feel the distaste and disgust he had for her sudden underaged fatherhood.
As a fifth-generation bloodling, Yao Si hadn’t expected to be able to suppress Li Zheng, a bloodling of a higher generation and manage to convert him a second time. It was not logical at all.
After Mu Xuan’s analysis, Yao Si thus came up with a more reliable conclusion—it all boiled down to the ancestral bloodline. After she had been converted, Mu Xuan had been using his ability at full force which potentially influenced her. In contrast, Li Zheng had been on his last breath. He had little energy left, which made it easy for her bloodline to suppress him.
Besides, the attack from Mu Xuan was enough to take his life.
Just like that, the bloodline’s power added to his death had effectively fulfilled the criteria for a conversion, turning Yao Si… into a dad!
╮(╯﹏╰）╭
“Your Highness…” Yao Qian glanced at her with hesitation. “That person…”
“What’s wrong with Li Zheng?” Having received such a message early in the morning, Yao Si couldn’t help worrying. “Did he get into trouble again?” The past few days had seen enough drama; she needed a break!
“It isn’t much. I just need your opinion since he is after all your inheritor.” Yao Qian bit down on his lips in hesitation. “According to the bloodling rules, all inheritors are required to enroll in the academy for them to familiarise themselves with the converter’s memory and train their ability. But he… is special.”
“Special?” Remembering the events from a few days back, Yao Si started to panic. “What’s wrong with his ability?”
Li Zheng belonged to the fire series, but his strength had always lain in his mental power. However, after the battle, it had completely disappeared. And no new ability had awakened after his second conversion.
“It’s not his ability…” Yao Qian shook his head. “It’s his inheritor memory.”
“Memory?” Yao Si stilled. What do you mean? “Does he still think he’s called Yao Si?”
“Not really.” Yao Qian sighed before explaining. After several tests, they had found out that Li Zheng had only received 80% of Yao Si’s memory, which was the reason he thought he was named Yao Si.
However, it was a memory with no feelings attached to it. Thus, it was akin to him seeing a movie whose details he could remember, but he was not an actor in it, so he didn’t have any emotional attachment to them.
Li Zheng had accepted that he wasn’t Yao Si and, just like other inheritors, had shelved the memories as common knowledge. This was an inheritor’s benefit. Without prior education, they would be able to obtain half the knowledge of their converter, which was the reason why inheritors were not considered cubs.
Everything was completely logical and advantageous for the bloodling race, but… there was one problem!
Yao Si… became a black hole for that logic.
