Chapter 70

While Shang Ke's consciousness was hazy, his mind started to obtain information about dolphins and gradually became clearer on my things. Although the plague two hundred years ago caused the death of a lot of dolphins, they were not completely extinct. Just like how humans speculated, the surviving dolphins obtained evolution. Their high degree of evolution included their ability to breed. They can assimilate with most organisms and even change into the species they chose.

Strictly speaking, Flames and Waves cannot be considered pure dolphins, they have merely been influenced by their ancestral genes and retained the figure of a dolphin. If Shang Ke did not appear, Flames might have assimilated into any kind of aquatic animal while Waves might have died not long after birth.

Humans did not find any traces of dolphins for over two hundred years was mainly because they have mostly turned into other species and the genes of a dolphin were conserved in their bodies. After a certain period of time, the dolphin gene will be activated and then, it would be possible for an evolved dolphin to be born with the appearance of one. This kind of dolphin's breeding ability is the strongest, and they can even greatly promote the breeding ability of other species.

Shang Ke sensed his body undergoing some kind of change. When his consciously gradually recovered, he slowly opened his eyes...

After Shang Ke turned into a white cocoon, Qin Yuan was both worried and confused. To not cause a disturbance, he did not tell anyone about the change and set up some equipment to observe the change within the cocoon. But the equipment seems to be blocked by a formless power and could not make out the situation inside. But what put Qin Yuan's heart at ease was that it can still keep track of the life activity in the cocoon.

It's been several days and there hasn't been any change to the cocoon.

Qin Yuan was questioned by the research institute and he managed to muddle through it by saying they went out for air. His reply obtained severe criticism, but he did not care. With his international prestige and wealth, the higher-ups did not really dare to do anything to him.

They dared to sneakily use Flames for an experiment, so why can't he take Flames out to "get some air"?

Today, while Qin Yuan was reading some information in his office, the alarm on his watch suddenly went off. He swiftly stood up and quickly headed for the marine building.

He swiped his card and entered the electronic doors and his figure quickly made through the building.

Just when he was about to get close, he suddenly paused midstep and surprise overtook his expression.

The white cocoon that was floating in the water was currently turning into a wide expanse of silver silk that spread out on the water surface like a silver lotus. In the middle of the lotus was a naked young man. His body was curled like a fast asleep infant in his mother's womb. Soft black hair dropped over his face, his fair skin was littered with drops of water and appeared exceptionally beautiful under the lights.

Who is he? Where is Flames?

Qin Yuan calmed his breathing and softly stepped over to the pool. As his line of sight went over the young man's shoulder, he was astonished to see that raging flame-like flower, Flaming Sky Flower on his chest, just like the tattoo on Flames.

He is... Flames?

Qin Yuan stared at the sleeping youngster in disbelief as his mind utterly blanked on him.

At this moment, the silver silk on the water surface slowly started to dissolve and disappear bit by bit into the air. Losing his support, the young man's curled body gradually uncurled and slowly sank.
