&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Chapter One Hundred and Fifty One New Life Almost Started
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; night,.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; After sleeping for about an hour and a half, He Ming woke up with his eyes open. He slept in Zhou Qingyun's bedroom, a magnificent building with a golden gate in Qionglou. Sleeping on the big bed and looking from all directions are all gardens, or pavilions made of carved jade, biwa, Zhu Yan, and Fei Pavilion.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; In these buildings at night, there are many flawless large satellites under the moon. The flowers and scenery that are intelligently regulated are really amazing. They are both banal from the world, but not The beautiful taste of the lost world.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Ten wives of all sizes slept on the makeshift soft beds in rows, and Zhou Qingyun was sleeping beside He Ming. Between him and Zhou Qingyun, the reason why the other nine wives, big and small, must sleep together today is that the baby is lying in the middle.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; He Ming almost fell in love with his first son, so he woke up after a quick sleep. The first time he looked at his son with "love and peace".
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; The baby is already wearing clothes, a very cute dress. Of course it is the most advanced item, and some powerful armors of the gods and demons are carefully prepared on it. You can change to other clothes.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; In He Ming's super vision, the baby is more cute with clothes. Now I slept very sweetly and slept very cutely. Zhou Qingyun's right hand was just placed on him, so that his two small hands were holding Ma's arm, a perfect arm with fat skin, sleeping sweetly and at ease.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; There is still a light luster of milk traces on the lips. Before going to bed, he drank a lot, from breast milk to all kinds of top dairy products. The appetite for the life of the quasi gods and demons is not small, and maybe the life of a mother's womb for more than sixty months is really boring.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; On the small faces are left the lips of the big and small wives. Various colors, dark and light. It looks a bit funny, but it's a collection of all kinds of favorites.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; He Ming gently brushed the baby's fat arm with the tip of his big finger, and his heart was full of the feeling of being a new father, which was unprecedented but extremely deep.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "Well, good baby, Maverick...Haha, I love you."
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; The baby's name has been decided, the name is Ruyi, the nickname is Niuniu.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Under normal circumstances, only Niuniu will be called, and there will be a pseudonym, or even many. Since then, to prevent those interested in using their real names.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Under normal circumstances, the real names of the sons of the elites of the Shanmeng, or the descendants of the strong, are kept secret and unknown.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Of course, Chinese names are by no means simple, because He Ming's name is very complicated after it is translated to a vast civilization.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; After about half an hour, Zhou Qingyun woke up. The first action is to gently hug the cow sideways.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Then seeing He Ming who had woken up, he couldn't help smiling with joy. In He Ming's eyes, the true love wife is not only full of maternal love, but also full of almost sacred temperament, especially the pair on the chest... He Ming smiled at his wife, and then moved up... In order to facilitate the cows to feed, Zhou Qingyun's upper body It's completely red, just wearing a purple one on the lower half...I soon felt it in the quilt.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "Really...well, I can't take it anymore, I have endured it for a long time." After several kisses, under this condition, Zhou Qingyun also erupted from every pore, extremely Mei's eyes flashed with strong desire.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; He Ming shrugged, smiled slightly, the huge body like a demon gently presses up... Before going to bed, wives of all sizes play with babies, all kinds of light are infinite, but he can't stand it for a long time. Up.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; This is He Ming's first special "gentle" affection. But this is only the weak thoughts of mortals, and it is really boring to a quasi-strong and demon, a and demon life.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; But looking at Zhou Qingyun’s eyes, He Ming knew that there was a chance to do something special--not to mention that he is now a quasi-powerful and demon, and he wants to create "human life" even with the help of high technology. It is very difficult. Basically, it is exactly the same as the impotence in the old age of the earth, which wants to make a wife pregnant.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Four or five hours later, all the wives, big and small, woke up, and He Ming was busy caressing the other nine wives. They are also coming soon, and soon he will have more than a dozen kids.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;……
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "Wow..."
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Life with a child is different, wait for Niuniu to wake up. He was already fit to come to life on earth, and began to crawl around the world. Ordinary children have basically completed their development after such a long period of perfect pregnancy, except for their minds.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; so the life of the gods and demons is more perfect, you can crawl around, learn to walk, and eat. In particular, the life of gods and demons doesn't have to worry about many problems, such as diseases or injury from sharp objects. I'm afraid he eats nuclear fuel too... and quickly pulls a bubble of oversized green tuba.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Niu Niu crawls on the big bed, looking very happy, and the cuteness makes wives big and small love it.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; He Ming tried to pick him up to make himself happy, but he turned around and climbed down the big bed and moved around the room.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "Haha..." Including Zhou Qingyun, the other nine wives smiled and touched their belly.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "Oh, my dear, let grandma hug you."
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; It is estimated that he received the message of "you can come in" butler, He Ma rushed into the bedroom all the way through the garden of several kilometers.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Soon the cows were picked up again-grandma is not as inexperienced as his father.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "Wow..." In her grandma's arms, Niu Niu struggled and made the voice of a two or three-year-old child.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; His pronunciation system has been completed, and of course it needs further growth. As for language learning, Chinese... will basically not succeed in a few hundred years.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Of course, He Ming is willing to let the children speak Chinese within a few days-but such education is strictly prohibited and cannot destroy the children's lives. There is no compulsive education in the interstellar civilization. After all, it is perfect and immortal. There is no need to study hard, to make progress, and then to fight for some poor effective time to serve the people during the poor life of the carbon-based monkey.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "Dear dear, what are you talking about?" He Ma couldn't put it down teasing Niuniu.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "Niu Niu, I am coming!" At this moment, He Fang came from the side of the passage like a fragrant wind.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;The people who come in afterwards also seem to be sure to stay up all night, playing games.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; The rest are some immediate family members, including He Xiaoqian's mother, Zhou Qingyun's mother, and Zhou's family... Soon, Zhou Qingyun's big bedroom became lively again.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Sure enough, children are the bond of multiple families, and it is great to have an offspring in a long and endless life. Of course, if it has something to do with yourself, otherwise the neighbors gave birth to fat boys, and my wife’s stomach has not had any "problems" for ten years. Your Excellency can still be happy?
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "He wants to eat, right?" Zhou Qingyun looked at Niuniu tenderly. The mother and the child are connected, the cattle see more and more people, and they habitually stretch out their chubby hands to their mother...Zhou Qingyun knows that his son has to hug or eat.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; immediately took a set of diets specially prepared for children.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; He Ma put him down, and the cows started eating and drinking by themselves...that is, grabbing the bottles and drinking them all at once...or trying to eat some solid food on their stomachs-the digestive system is fully formed What's more, the digestive system of the life of gods and demons is different from that of humans, at least the stomach and intestines don't have to be that long.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Of course, for intelligent life, in the low level, the stomach must be very long. Basically, all fools think that eating meat can evolve, and only vegetarians or omnivores can evolve wisdom. Otherwise, the body functions are relatively strong, but the brain is empty, and it is simply Fauvism.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;……
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; The bedroom is not a place to get along. Everyone moved the room and came to a large courtyard.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; He Ming became someone who couldn't get in at all. He laughed at himself, "Am I just a sowing stallion?" Then he went to eat, drink and have fun. The children don't need a large number of relatives to fight for petting. One of the few robots waiting.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Of course, in order to cultivate family love, it is absolutely impossible to give birth to a child and hand it over to the robot. This kind of absurd incident will not happen in He Ming's home, the simplest little home, his home.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "Cuckoo..." Niuniu quickly showed a strong curiosity of innocence and cuteness. He wanted to see and play everywhere, and wanted to eat a lot of things-"Hahaha!" Dad He He Ma, the eldest sister, the second sister, and others were so laughing, He Ming was a little depressed, he really had no face to insert this kind of thing.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Unfortunately, I finally had a son, but I didn't hold it several times.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; tragedy!
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "Congratulations, boss." Xiao Hao sat beside He Ming, eating, drinking, and having fun together in the perfect morning sun.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Situ Haoran said: "Boss, ladies and gentlemen, powerful gods and demons of Shanmeng, sent that pair of ancient sun paintings as a gift.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "That super-large ancient painting? Those scientists, archaeologists...Anyway, the number of aliens just took the opportunity to come to our house."
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; He Longhao nodded and smiled: "Of course! Who makes the boss rich in the world-no, it is a rich universe. Everyone can't find a good gift, just send this ancient painting."
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; He Ming nodded, "How to deal with the potential of solar power? I haven't heard that Shanmeng gave birth to a supreme potential."
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Situ Haoran lit a cigarette, looked at the excited He family members, and looked at his wife who was talking to He Ming’s wife and enjoying the exquisite breakfast, Catkin’s belly, and said: "Hey. What? That said, of course there was no result, but many fools heard that they signed up for the test. At present, there are more than 100 aliens, good gods and demons, and only half of them escaped their souls with the help of high-tech. Even the soul has been swallowed. The scientists and scholars of Shanmeng don’t know how to use it. It’s really troublesome."
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "Is there no high technology that can be dealt with?" He Ming said. As he thought about it, he really didn't. Besides, if it does exist, it is very simple. This thing has long been the top seller in Shanmeng.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; He Longhao said: "Definitely not. But brother-in-law, the secret treasure of the sun is still behind, and it is in line with your abilities. Don't you have any ideas?" It was very light and not direct . After all, here are the lives of gods and demons, and He Ming's wives can hear them by caring at will.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; He Ming sneered and said: "Hey, who is going to take the risk, anyway, we won't go... The secret treasure of the sun god? It's useless. I got all the essence of the primitive devil, what's in the secret sun treasure? I can figure it out now. This universe is still another universe. Strength and life level are the highest. A powerful and demon with nothing is more valuable than a life of a and demon in a galaxy. So the secret treasure of the sun god? Hey, come to me It's just a fart."
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "See you, brother-in-law!"
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "The boss is mighty."
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; The size of Hao is not without regret. They are not greedy, or want to take risks, but want to try the power of powerful gods and demons.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; The two monkeys have become the main force in the universe, and the proof must be very strong.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; But He Ming said so, they have no choice but to wait for the day when He Ming is officially upgraded to a powerful and demon, at least one shadow city, and the "Southern Labyrinth", two low For risky and high-income areas, it is scheduled.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; It is strange to say that the Great God of Shanmeng basically dare not venture into low-risk and high-income areas such as the "maze of the south".
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;It seems that American Superman is afraid to travel to Vietnam...
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;……
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Next, He Ming did not go to the earth for three consecutive days, and stayed at home with his wife and children wholeheartedly.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; The three-day time on the earth is equal to more than thirty days in the planetary mansion.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Niu Niu became more and more lively within a month, and their strength and physical stamina became stronger day by day.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;He became familiar with "Human". Explore the world. He thinks the world is his mother's bedroom, father's study, grandma's home, and aunt's snack mountain-so he likes aunt the most.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; There is also the same favorite beach, there are many children. Although he can only be like a cotton candy, active in a little area under heavy protection, and is often scared by many big pets and crying for help.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; He Ming also understands his son's character more and more. First of all, he is very greedy, very playful, and especially likes to sleep. Anything that interferes with him doing these three things, he will definitely cry: first squat his mouth, and then - all wailing.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; He Ming is a bit "worried", he is so young that he is already "like iron", tears are dry, how will he act in the future? How to serve the people?
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "Sao Nian, tears are your greatest weapon. Remember the talk about life in Room 302? I think you deserve it, because your dad is called Abdomen!"
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; He Ming shook his head quickly. Waiting for his son to pick up a girl, time is really too far away?
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Others, Niuniu also likes to crawl around. Although he is only one step away from the life of the and demon, he has not yet learned to walk.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; He Ming is therefore more "worried": Does his son learn to fly first, and then learn to walk? This is not very interesting.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Despite all the "worries", Niuniu has his life, and his cards are up to him. He Ming can only serve him.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Within a month, the stomachs of the other nine wives were also about to move. Especially the foxes, their pregnancy time is much shorter than that of humans, especially the mixed-race children. If they are placed on the indigenous planet with low technology and are mortal, then there must be various problems.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; After all, this is the crystallization of love between humans and "aliens"... You see, tigers, lions, and ligers on the earth have very low survival chances, let alone interstellar love that spans the interstellar.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; It is worth mentioning that there are not many such love TV series and movies, but very many.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;……
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "Brother Abdomen, Brother Abdomen, show us the baby!"
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "We want to see the second generation of the abdominal muscle brother!"
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "Sao Nian, there is a thunderbolt in the sky, you who inherited the spirit of the abdominal muscles brother, you should come out to serve the people."
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; among the enthusiastic comments of netizens, He Ming finally returned to earth. For the first time, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Soon, He Ming will start the operation time which is just like a cow's hair.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;For the sake of the child, he didn’t care about pretending to be forced, so he took three days off, and because of this he gave a lot of places for Superman. If it weren’t for the age of the King of Superman, the country He would never agree that he would give so many Superman places for free, and through a global lottery.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;He Ming waved to the reporters and fans of "Ghost Cry Wolf Howling" and then walked into the "Living Paradise" hospital. Starting at noon today, he will serve more than six hours. Then, with the mistress and Le Siyu~EbookFREE.me~net kids, it's time to let them know...the real world.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Otherwise, they clamored to see their children, he and Zhou Qingyun would never be able to bring them to the earth before the completion of their development, that is, one or two months or half a year in Earth time.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Because the earth's time is accelerated ten times, it may cause only minimal...accelerated growth for children.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; his parents, how could his family agree?
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "Chief, congratulations. This is a gift for the child." Chen Ziqi handed out a carefully prepared gift. She could see that the leader loved his first son to death.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Think carefully, it is very reasonable. Because this is the chief or the "seed" of the mortal age, and now the chief superhuman god, it should be very difficult to get his wives pregnant, right?
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Of course, in the eyes of all people on earth, He Ming is the of superman, that is, the life level of powerful gods and demons. Even the among the divine gods. For example, according to the Chinese mythology system, it should be Laozi or Hongjun.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Of course, among the folks and fans, He Ming’s power should be the existence of absolute monsters that can create the universe and are strong to the strongest limit.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; After all, with great power, the among the gods has come into reality, and the worship of ordinary people is irrational.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "Okay! Thank you." He Ming accepted the gift, and the other secretaries hurriedly took out the carefully prepared gifts. It was either Yupei or the child's favorite thing.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Now this is a global live broadcast, so...Well, not to mention the good alliance, the gift of light earth humanity, it is estimated that it will not be able to deal with it in 10,000 years. Not an exaggeration, but common sense. Think about the grand occasion of tens of billions, trillions of intelligent beings who will give you gifts during the New Year.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Putting it in the past, He Ming of course envied and hated him, "Look, the kid now! Tsk tsk..." Just like the previous generation despised their generation. But when I put it on my son, I didn't feel anymore, only a joy in my heart.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; When "work", everyone can see that Brother Abdom... is super awesome.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; people who are successful in the lottery are crazy with joy. People watching TV, even the seven orifices are breathing fire-grass, we have not succeeded in such an opportunity? This unscientific! I hate this world!
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; More people are begging, "The second generation of other abs will be born soon! Please."
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;……
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Smecta mistress, Le Siyu, and Alice follow He Ming all the way down. Wrapped in a stream of energy whose main color is emerald green.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Needless to say, natural intimacy along the way, and a little more "little" nervousness.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; After all, I'm going to He Ming's house, so I will definitely see the real wives of the big house
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Now humans on earth have completely accepted the propaganda that the Abdomen family lives in a "mysterious place".
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; After all, the earth time flies too fast, and the environment is not very comfortable, and the site is so small, so the scientific institutions of the Guanghuaxia Alliance, composed of super life institutions, have long been underground. Kilometers, 10,000 meters, etc. office.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;This is a must. In the intellectual level of taking each other's genius brain pills, people spend ten times longer than you. How do you play? Go on the street, you!
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Shanmeng has humans, so it is recommended that the Earth Administration change the Earth time. However, normal people would not take such behavior.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; If the earth time becomes several times normal, then there is no need for the Earth Authority to exist, that is, the test site can be revoked.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; cannot underestimate the human beings on earth, once their lives become hundreds of years, five hundred years...then the level of technological development will be very fast, and the significance of experiments will soon cease to exist.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; The world is peaceful, with advanced technology.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "My dear, so curious..."
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Park Jimin, who was well-dressed with the strength of breastfeeding, hugged He Ming's arm in a soft voice.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Her dress made He Ming want to go all the way...First, go to the Demon Instance to diarrhea.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Because Park Jimin considers that hooks are attractive to the abdominal muscles, while at the same time dignified and noble to please the big wives of the future.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; After all, empathy, no one wants to be around his own man, really loves that there is a skirt short enough to beat a woman who stumbled? Women who stumbled.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Le Siyu hugged He Ming's other arm, took a look at Park Jimin, and quickly checked her dress and evaluated her hot body, and then "a little bit" unhappy. It is even more delicate and authentic.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; If He Ming is a cartilage head, then he is already soft on his body.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; This scene was seen by humans on earth, especially a certain Liu brother who has been grateful to his abdominal muscles. He must be taken aback, and then little dd jumped violently. Will go away.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; How did the more intellectual but hot female anchor become like this?
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Brother Abdominals' bed work is really real.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; What did the mistress say to the goddaughter, He Ming just nodded, and then mysteriously said: "It's coming soon, don’t be too surprised. Even though it’s the life of the gods and demons, be careful about the heart. any problem."
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; All the good positions are occupied by Alice hurriedly said: "God's life? What do you mean."
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "That is the rank of the superman king. This is the term of the earth. Soon, you will see a real world. In this world, the dead on the earth... are still alive." He Ming revealed Mysterious smile.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; But in the three women, it is a strange smile.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "Don't scare me! So scared."
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; Smecta's mistress hurriedly turned Huarong pale. I can’t wait to post it to He Ming~EbookFREE.me~ Five minutes later, I just entered an incomparable planet, knowing some truths, the three women are all real, and the appearance of the flowers is pale.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; He Ming laughed in his heart, well, it's too easy! A new life has begun, things on earth, about girls, about the past, about the goddess of hanging silk, about everything, goodbye, goodbye to the chicks on Cambridge.
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;If nothing happens (dominated by Xiaodd), then the more "mature" you should be able to avoid...
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; dirty, low-level fun:
&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp; "Hey, little girl, it’s a long night, why don’t you talk about your life? I’m not talented, I’m willing to help you."
