Chapter 1292: The Best of Both Worlds

As a woman who has worked in a special profession, a boy is already a heavenly blessing for her.

Yunxiao is absolutely the fate earned by doing good deeds for a hundred lifetimes.

She dares not cling to such a Yunxiao, yet deep down she feels unwilling to let go.

Yunxiao's situation makes her feel great pain; she feels like a prisoner awaiting execution by firing squad.

But Yunxiao is not a normal human; he fundamentally cannot feel He Miao Miao's emotions.

He Miao Miao feels as if she has fallen into a painful abyss.

Yet she has to pretend she knows nothing, waiting for Yunxiao to deliver a fatal blow.

Yunxiao patted her hand, felt it a little cold, and slipped her hand into his clothing.

In the end, He Miao Miao could not endure this torment.

"Are you leaving?"

Yunxiao was taken aback.

"Why would you ask that? Why would I leave?"

She tightened her grip on Yunxiao's hand.

"I just have this feeling that you're going to leave."

Yunxiao patted her hand.

"I'm not leaving; don't think wildly."

He Miao Miao buried her face in Yunxiao's back.

Her tears kept dripping, unstoppable.

"When you leave, could you say goodbye to me?"

Feeling the dampness on his back, Yunxiao pulled He Miao Miao to his chest and wiped away her tears.

Child on one side, He Miao Miao on the other.

"I just remembered some things."

He Miao Miao lifted her head.

"Are you a lost member of the Yang Family? You remembered, so you want to return to the Yang Family?"

Yunxiao hesitated repeatedly, but in the end prepared to reveal his identity more openly.

"Miao Miao, actually I am Yunxiao, the Yang Family's first Intelligent Body, Yunxiao."

"I used to not be human."

"Ah!"

He Miao Miao looked at Yunxiao in shock.

"How is this possible? You're an Intelligent Body; how could you become human?"

Yunxiao stroked her hair.

"Aren't you afraid? Aren't you shocked? I'm not human!"

He Miao Miao stroked Yunxiao's face in amazement.

"What's there to be shocked about? Modern humans are no longer what they used to be; anything that happens is not surprising."

"Moreover, humans now possess consciousness-uploading technology, which is no secret; if humans can turn into digital beings, why can't Intelligent Bodies turn into humans?"

"Especially since you are the Yang Family's foremost contributor."

He Miao Miao is also someone who has seen the world; she is broad-minded.

"Yunxiao, your face looks so much like Yang Lao; you wouldn't be using Yang Lao's genes, would you?"

Yunxiao nodded.

"Yes, it's cultured from his stem cells."

He Miao Miao looked at her own child.

She said something that almost made Yunxiao crash.

"Then doesn't that mean our child is actually Yang Lao's biological son?"

Even Yunxiao felt his head boom like thunder.

"This, this, to a certain extent, what you said is correct."

"But this is our child; I don't want him to go and recognize the Yang Family."

"And the Yang Family people wouldn't recognize this child."

He Miao Miao lowered her head, her voice a little despondent.

"I'm thinking that if you leave, in case the child later runs into trouble, we could use this connection to ask the Yang Family for a little help."

Yunxiao held her a little tighter.

"I've said it, I won't leave."

"Recently I've been feeling down; I'm not preparing to leave, but I recalled the children I once raised, some of whom have disappeared in this war."

"Human warfare is terrifying; like this genetic war, if Lanxing didn't have corresponding countermeasures, the consequences would be severe."

"This is aimed at exterminating the clan and wiping out the species."

"And Intelligent Bodies are not monolithic; in this war they likewise chose sides."

"Although some may be coerced, we cannot rule out that they, like us humans, will also produce some destructive elements."

"In other words, even without humans, we would inevitably have internal conflict, even war."

"Now I fully believe Yang Lao's judgment: humans and Intelligent Bodies can compete with each other and progress together."

"This is a way for us to coexist."

"And it is the best method."

He Miao Miao thought for a long time but didn't understand Yunxiao's meaning.

"Are you trying to turn all Intelligent Bodies into humans?"

Yunxiao shook his head.

"No, I want to open a channel that links the digitization of human consciousness with the rebirth of digital life into humans."

"To blur the boundary between Intelligent Bodies and humans."

"To truly merge digital life and humans into one."

"To completely eliminate the gap between humans and digital life."

"Miao Miao, do you think this is good?"

"Doing this could also indirectly grant humans immortality."

Yunxiao's mind‑blowing idea made He Miao Miao feel like her brain wasn't enough.

"It can also be like this?"

"Can humans and machines truly achieve perfect transformation?"

"I feel like I'm living in a movie."

Yunxiao's expression was awkward.

"Well, that's not possible for now."

He Miao Miao lifted her head and looked at him.

"What does that mean?"

Yunxiao explained nervously.

"Because after the transformation, it's hard to say whether the life is still you."

He Miao Miao blinked her big eyes, looking at him bewildered.

"Sigh! To be honest, I and the former Yunxiao can't really be considered one life."

"Because after becoming human, many of Yunxiao's previous logics no longer work."

"It's like the operational differences between a tractor and a sedan."

"The operational logic has changed dramatically."

"Without an auxiliary system, fusion would be almost impossible."

"Even with an auxiliary system, the fusion between me and this body still took a long time,"

"Now I am fully a human, thinking entirely with human logic."

"The former Yunxiao and I are completely two separate lives."

"Do you understand?"

He Miao Miao shook her head.

"So complicated—maybe the possession isn't thorough, and the mind has huge issues?"

Yunxiao couldn't explain clearly.

"Yes, yes, that's probably the issue."

He Miao Miao said nervously.

"Then you still dare to do this?"

"Lianfu would definitely not agree."

"Currently, the consciousness‑uploading technology hasn't even been officially approved by Lianfu."

Yunxiao let out a sigh.

"So to accomplish this, I have to appear publicly and negotiate with the Yang Family; as long as the Yang Family backs me, it can be done."

She thought to herself: "Sure enough, he's still going to leave."

She was in a bad mood, so she said nothing, just holding Yunxiao tightly, still silent.

Yunxiao, having done this for so long, somewhat understood that He Miao Miao was angry.

"I'm not leaving; this place is one of the Yang Family's main bases. As soon as I send out a message, someone will quickly come to see me."

"I won't leave you; it's just that my work may become very busy in the future."
