Chapter 769: Chapter 762: Astonishing Hypothesis

"So," she said, unable to resist glancing at Cheng Ziang a few more times, and continued, "Yalunte took Dr. An Liang’s advice and sent the princess to the headquarters for treatment. However, the headquarters had very little understanding of Magic Power Erosion at the time and failed to save the princess’s life."

"According to this, the princess died at the hands of the headquarters, and Mr. Yalunte would never have worked for them. I’m surprised he didn’t take his anger out on everyone at the headquarters." Luoer said, puzzled.

"Yes, Brother Yalunte is very clear about love and hate." Hu Daoke nodded in agreement.

"Yalunte must have had some leverage to work for the headquarters. Otherwise, given the situation at the time, once the princess died, he would have been devastated and wouldn’t have had the motivation to continue working for the headquarters. What could this leverage be? " Tangmo asked confidently as he looked around at everyone.

"Uh..." Everyone exchanged glances, not sure what Tangmo was trying to express.

"Through Baiyue’s father’s diary, we know that when Dr. An Liang met Yalunte and the princess, it was definitely already after 2030. Luoer, what’s special about the year 2030?" Tangmo looked at Luoer expectantly as he asked.

"I know, December 8th, 2030 is your birthday and the day the Origin Project was launched." Luoer nodded in response.

"I thought you had forgotten." Tangmo said happily when he heard Luoer’s answer.

"How could I forget..." Luoer said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Right," Tangmo said, regaining his serious tone, "In 2030, the Origin Project officially began, and the nation gathered a large number of scholars in the field of biology at Haiya to jointly discuss the breeding plan for non-human species. In other words, while the headquarters at that time might not have been able to save the princess, they could definitely save..."

"The child," Luoer suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed, "I remember when I first met Mr. Yalunte, I asked Wang Xu about his situation. Wang Xu said Yalunte wanted a child. I thought Wang Xu was joking."

"Exactly, so it’s very likely that the people at the headquarters could not save the princess, but they might have saved their child through the Origin Project." Tangmo looked at Cheng Ziang again, then continued, "Cheng Ziang, it’s not the first time someone has said you look like the King Gudelv of Odelanqi, who is the princess’s brother. So, is there a possibility that you are actually the son of Princess Lin of Odelanqi and Yalunte, a pure Otherworlder, rather than a non-human at all?"

The words of Tangmo immediately stirred everyone in the vehicle. Everyone looked wide-eyed at Cheng Ziang. Even the always composed Cheng Ziang looked shocked and did not move.

"Momo, you can’t just throw out such claims. Do you have any proof?" Luoer asked, wide-eyed.

"As I said, I’m speculating. But this way, many of the clues you provided could be explained." Tangmo shrugged, nestled back against Luoer’s chest as he was caught off guard, rubbing happily against him.

"Yes, yes, Momo’s right. This way, many things can be explained..." Luoer was so shocked by the news that he didn’t react for a long time, allowing Tangmo to take advantage and shower him with affection.

"The reason Cheng Ziang doesn’t have many characteristics of the Earth people is because he’s not a non-human, but a complete Otherworlder, and his maternal genes come from Princess Lin, who is an Aud. When I asked Wang Xu about Cheng Ziang and Yalunte’s relationship, he neither denied nor confirmed it. This guy must have known the inside story but fooled me."

"And the reason Mr. Yalunte was able to work for the headquarters was not necessarily because of the princess but probably because of their child; also, Sister Nightingale originally wanted to investigate this matter with the help of the headquarters, but they were evasive, obviously they knew something. Lastly, Dr. An Liang’s identity was not just a member of the UNESCO investigation team. From Dr. Anatoli’s diary, he could have already joined the Origin Project by that time! " Luoer mused.

"There’s another thing," Tangmo happily nestled against Luoer’s chest, looking up at his chin, "The reason Dr. An Liang stayed in Otherworld for so long could very well be that he was collecting paternal genes for the Origin Project at that time."

"So..." Hearing the two’s description, Hu Daoke’s eyes darted to Cheng Ziang, with his mouth wide enough to fit two eggs, "That means the King of Odelanqi could be Old Cheng’s real uncle?"

"Is no one listening to me?" Fulajie’er, sitting on Luoer’s lap, looking around at everyone with a tilted head. Clearly, she had been totally ignored.

"But then, comes the problem," said Baiyue, frowning skeptically, "If Ziang is from the Otherworld, how did he survive on Earth? It’s known that the adaptability of Otherworlders to Earth’s non-magical environment increases with age. Don’t even say about being born on Earth, even if they were brought to Earth at one or two years old, without suppressing drugs, it would be a dead end."

"If one’s genes are modified before birth, incorporating part of the Earth human’s genes to ensure the child can safely pass this tough period, then even a person from the Otherworld will be able to be born on Earth," Tangmo said, looking at Cheng Ziang. "Haven’t you all noticed? You can still see some East Asian features on Ziang and he doesn’t completely look like a North Aud man."

"Momo..." Luoer took a deep breath, then looked at Tangmo, having something to say but seemingly hesitant.

"I said, I was just speculating, I did not say that this is a fact!" Tangmo retorted, pouting her lips.

"No," Luoer shook his head, then lowered his voice and said to her, "You are holding me too tight, I can hardly breathe."

"This isn’t the corridor!" Tangmo retorted while sporting a triumphant smile, she even stared provocatively at Cheng Ziang.

"I can’t handle you..." Luoer shook his head helplessly. Given Tangmo’s significant contributions just now, he held back his irritation, otherwise he would have pushed her away long ago.

"Wow, if the assumption holds true, Old Cheng would be the nephew of Odelanqi’s King and son to the Swordsman Yalunte, this is shocking." Hu Daoke said astonishingly, looking at Cheng Ziang.

"In that case, you should be calling me uncle! But no biggie, we’ll still address each other as before. You call me brother, I call you uncle, nobody has the upper hand." As amazed as he was, Hu Daoke couldn’t resist making a deft remark.

Clearly, Cheng Ziang was not in a joking mood at the moment. His mind was full of Tangmo’s words.

The Princess of Odelanqi is my mother... The Swordsman Yalunte, my father... I...I am an Otherworlder... I am an Otherworlder, not a subhuman...

Cheng Ziang stood like a statue for a long time without a word. He continued to mutter to himself, obviously deeply shocked by Tangmo’s hypothesis.

"Ziang, calm yourself down. This is just Momo’s hypothesis. We still need to verify it." Luoer said, trying to console him.

But just as he finished, Tangmo’s sneaky moves almost made him jump: "Momo, stop messing around, everyone is watching."

"They can’t see!" Tangmo protested, whining."

"Even if they can’t see, it’s still no good. Keep pestering and I won’t let you hold me anymore!" Luoer said, moralizing."

"Okay, okay, I won’t move, alright." Seeing that Luoer was getting angry, Tangmo finally stopped with her sneaky acts.

For Tangmo, being physically close to Luoer was more than enough to satisfy her. She knew where Luoer drew the line, so she did not try to push the envelope and chose to stop while she was ahead.
