The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

"So, as long as you have the strength of an Envoy, you can win over Lord Black Tower?" Bai Zhi blinked and asked curiously.

"...Having the combat strength of an envoy is just the most basic level. You wouldn't be hiding something, would you?"

Hei Ta looked at Bai Zhi with some suspicion, even though she had just been about to nod and admit it.

But something felt off; Bai Zhi had now been crowned Dragon Lord.

This title isn't something you can just get casually. Besides, Bai Zhi isn't the reincarnation of the Dragon Lord from before. Unless there's an absolute benefit involved that can get the higher-ups of the Chiming Clan to unanimously acknowledge this, it's impossible for them to agree on this matter.

Who knows, maybe Bai Zhi was blessed by some star god somewhere.

These are all very difficult things to say, because the Star Gods are indeed unpredictable.

For example, that funny god Aha once gave all his power to an insect. This kind of thought process is something that normal people would never have.

"Who knows~"

"You little rascal, you were hiding something after all. Forget it, don't think about such unrealistic things. You're too small, not even as tall as my doll. You still want to win me over?"

Hei Ta didn't think Bai Zhi had really been blessed by the Star God and possessed the combat power of an Envoy, but she felt that perhaps Bai Zhi's immortal bloodline had awakened.

Although the Dragon Lord couldn't defeat a complete Commander, he was still half a Commander.

"Without extraordinary wisdom and formidable strength, I won't consider you. You might as well consider the one next to you."

"But if you really like me, I can give you this doll as a souvenir. However, the doll is very stiff and can only be used for fighting; it has no other functions."

Chapter 488 Ruan Mei's Hesitation

What exactly is contained within this tooth mark?

Inside a laboratory, Ruan Mei raised her right arm; the wound had healed, but Bai Zhi's teeth marks remained.

Especially the deepest part of the canine tooth, which pierced her skin.

She had noticed earlier that the tooth mark seemed to carry something strange, interfering with her emotions.

Operating the mechanical equipment, she collected some tissue debris from near the wound and placed it into a special observation device.

"Hmm... a bit of fire elemental power, is it because of the burning sensation it gives me?"

Ruan Mei shook her head. Her hometown was a planet blessed with abundant resources, so she naturally had very high resistance.

Furthermore, with the support of various biotechnologies, it's highly unlikely that one's mind would be so easily disturbed by such a tiny element of fire.

After a moment of silence, Ruan Mei brought over some laboratory animals.

She then blended these powers with other energies, placed them in a carrier, and injected them into the bodies of the experimental animals.

Then, she was somewhat surprised to see that these experimental animals, which were originally gathered together, those that had been injected with harmonizing energy, were actually being feared by their fellow animals.

"No, this isn't fear..."

Ruan Mei frowned as she carefully observed the injected experimental animals, noticing that the males all avoided those of their kind who had been injected with energy.

Even when forced to approach by her, the males would tremble as if they had seen something terrifying.

The females, however, were slightly better, without that exaggerated behavior.

"Could this be... a mark?"

She came to this conclusion in a daze.

This is nothing unusual; it's a very common concept in the field of biology.

Animals use chemical means, such as urine and secretions, or visual markings, such as ritualistic behaviors, and vocal markings, such as calls and songs, to mark their territory.

These marking behaviors help maintain relationships between partners, strengthen social bonds, and in some cases help eliminate potential competitors.

Significant differences exist between species, so understanding the behavioral habits of a particular species is a very important area of ​​research in the biological field for understanding the specific ways in which they mark their partners.

Ruan Mei was no exception; she knew a great deal about it.

The marks of powerful beings have a very strong deterrent effect on weaker beings.

Animals instinctively recognize the scent markings of healthy predators; the strong intimidate the weak, preventing them from approaching.

Of course, some marks can also have a surprising effect, such as attracting a spouse.

"Was it my medication that upset her?"

Ruan Mei stroked the teeth marks on her arm. It was undeniable that the basic theory behind her strength-enhancing drug was to actively mobilize all the body's organs to unleash greater power in a short period of time.

To prevent Angelica dahurica from causing bodily depletion due to this medicine, it also contains many highly nourishing herbs that can prevent the temporary weakness that may occur after the period of increased strength has passed.

In retrospect, it may be this medicine that caused all of Angelica dahurica's organs to start working actively and at full capacity, with the powerful tonics it contains adding fuel to the fire.

This ultimately led to the situation described above.

"Phew... thank goodness there wasn't a higher dose, otherwise..."

Ruan Mei breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that if the dosage of that medicine had been increased, Bai Zhi might not have burned her clothes, taken a few bites, or used her as a pillow.

They might have actually been pushed.

Now things are basically clear: this is a marker of a mate for Angelica dahurica.

However, she had never heard of the Vidyadharas having such abilities before, and the mark did not seem to be so easy to remove.

At least, her own healing power is completely unable to eliminate this.

"........."

Ruan Mei paused for a moment, then took out a syringe from the drawer, which contained a vial of red medicine.

This is an emotion suppressant that can block the influence of various negative emotions on thinking.

This drug isn't rare at all; in fact, it's quite common. After all, many planets figured out how human emotions are affected long before they even left their home planet.

Many scientists developed this drug in order to eliminate anxiety and the negative feedback that many negative emotions bring to scientific research.

However, Nguyen Mai never used this drug.

Although she may appear indifferent, what truly drives her forward is an endless passion for scientific research.

She wasn't sure if her injection would also eliminate that fervent emotion.

"never mind……"

Ruan Mei sighed and then put the red vial down.

She wouldn't allow herself to change so much, and besides that, the burning sensation emanating from the teeth marks seemed to be changing as well.

The initial scorching heat seems to be gradually turning into a warm current.

This gentle warmth seemed to flow continuously from her arm into her heart, bringing a sense of inexplicable warmth and security.

It felt like something powerful was protecting me.

It evokes a strange sense of reluctance and fondness.

"These mere emotions will not affect my research!"

Ruan Mei patted her slightly flushed face and then muttered to herself.

"Okay, that's settled!"

She composed herself and then picked up the documents on the table.

That's what she's been researching lately: using that kind of biotechnology to revive a breeding envoy.

She wanted to study the origin of life, which, as is well known, is related to three destinies: abundance and fertility, and the now-dimmed destiny of immortality.

But the abundant life-related aspects tend to lean towards longevity and healing, not to mention immortality. Now that the path of destiny is already bleak, apart from immortal offspring, very few people can walk on this path anymore.

The remaining fate is reproduction.

As is widely known, the propagation of the Star Gods led to the cosmic insect plague that caused terrible disasters throughout the universe.

However, the power of reproduction has also attracted the attention of countless people, because that power is so terrifying that any concept related to reproduction will turn into a small insect.

Whether it's writing, or various things produced in factories, or even speaking, they will all turn into insects appearing in front of everyone.

This power, this unrestrained power to create life, must be related to the essence of life.

Chapter 489 Ruan Mei, unable to refuse Bai Zhi

"Bai Zhi... are you feeling better now? I'm sorry, I was a bit presumptuous before."

Arriving at a research lab, Ruan Mei glanced at Bai Zhi with mixed feelings.

Because she felt that the closer she got to Bai Zhi, the more obvious the warm current from her arm became, a feeling that melted her heart.

"Hmm? I'm fine. In fact, I feel particularly energetic right now. The medicine is pretty good. Please save some for me later."

Bai Zhi stretched her body and felt "like she had been reborn".

Since taking that medicine, my back and legs have stopped aching, and even my mind has become more active.

The only downside is that it's easy to feel the urge to approach and chat up pretty girls.

After comparing herself to Ruan Mei, she felt that those other girls were completely unattractive.

Although the staff on the space station are generally not ugly, given the large number of scientists there, addressing appearance issues is quite simple, whether through surgery or medication.

Their average looks are at least an 8 out of 10; they'd be big stars on any ordinary planet.

But compared to Nguyen Mai's magnificent face, it still falls short.

Of course, the most important thing is that their temperaments are so different; they're not even in the same league.

However, although she didn't take the initiative, it seemed that the young ladies in the space station all became more proactive?

Everyone was captivated by her. While Ruan Mei was preparing some things for the experiment, she wandered around the space station, and the young ladies all showed her concern and offered her various snacks.

These young ladies' hands aren't very clean; they always want to touch her head and hug her.

"This feeling might not be fake. Have you noticed that you've changed in some ways?"

Ruan Mei looked Bai Zhi up and down, finally fixing her gaze on Bai Zhi's head.

"What has changed?" Bai Zhi tilted her head, puzzled. "Does it mean I've become more attractive again?"

Have you noticed the horns on your head?

Ruan Mei approached Bai Zhi, her body swaying almost imperceptibly, her eyes momentarily glazed over.

Shaking her head, Ruan Mei reached out and stroked Bai Zhi's dragon horns. "Didn't you notice that your dragon horns have grown longer?"

"Huh? Really??"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi quickly reached up and touched her head.

The feel and length from the hand seemed different from the original short dragon horn, which was only slightly longer than Bai Lu's.

Sensing something was wrong, Bai Zhi immediately took out her phone and switched it to selfie mode.

This is quite different from before. Although her dragon horns were the same color as Yinyuejun's dragon horns before, their shape was basically the same as Bailu's.

It has an adorable, youthful appearance, round and plump, and doesn't seem very intimidating.

But now he's approaching the state of Yin Yuejun, with a touch of fierceness.

"Not bad, you're quite handsome, as expected of me!"

Bai Zhi was a little smug. It was just that she wasn't tall enough. If she were taller and wore a cool outfit, she would definitely be able to charm a lot of girls.

Compared to Bai Zhi's simple emotions, Ruan Mei thought about many more things.

When she saw the change in Bai Zhi's dragon horns, she vaguely guessed a possibility.

Before taking her medicine, Bai Zhi may have been in a juvenile state, with her overall functions in a dormant and stable state.

But her medicine seemed to break that dormant state, stimulating the potential within Bai Zhi's body, and then rapidly progressing her to adolescence.

"Adolescence...no wonder it's like this."

Ruan Mei rubbed the teeth marks on her right arm discreetly; the warmth made her body feel a little weak.

Most lives, during adolescence, are filled with youthful energy, restlessness, and boundless vitality.

"What adolescence?"

Bai Zhi, somewhat confused, looked at Ruan Mei.
