Ning Sa then said with relief, "Doctor Xia's self-made Pure Natural Potion allowed my child to transform into a humanoid while still in the womb. Moreover, he retained a complete human form at birth."
That's why she dared to come to Li's Hospital and use a fake human identity to give birth.
This way, she could give her child a complete and legal human identity.
If this child were like other Humanoids, born in beast form or a hybrid of beast and human, her plan would never have worked.
The man's sharp gaze turned to Xia Yuanfang.
"Doctor Xia, is it? Which research institute are you affiliated with? Is it Li's Drug Research Laboratory?"
Someone with such great ability could not be buried.
But Xia Yuanfang said calmly, "I was fired from Li's Drug Research Laboratory three years ago and only recently opened my own studio."
The man thought to himself that as long as he had this clue, he could investigate her identity.
If this was true, this doctor was no ordinary talent.
Therefore, although he was not yet clear about Xia Yuanfang's identity, the man's attitude towards her was much more respectful.
"Gold shines wherever it is." The man said politely, "With Doctor Xia's talent, you should have gone solo long ago. By the way, A-Ning, you must help Doctor Xia with anything she needs, no matter the cost."
Ning Sa loved hearing that.
She said with a smile, "I said long ago that Doctor Xia's affairs are my affairs from now on. Anyone who dares to touch her is touching me."
The man nodded, "That's how it should be."
He looked down at the sleeping infant for a while, carefully picked up the swaddling clothes, kissed him on the forehead, and said, "I'll come to see him again in a month. Take care."
The man left after speaking, without any hesitation.
Xia Yuanfang looked at the man's aura and knew that his identity was definitely not ordinary.
But Ning Sa didn't even introduce the man's name, and Xia Yuanfang knew that this man was probably not just highly placed and powerful.
Although he showed his face in front of her, who knew if that person's appearance was real or fake?
Xia Yuanfang was not completely ignorant of the ways of these big shots.
But she didn't particularly care. It was always better to be friendly than to make enemies with such people.
After the man left, Ning Sa didn't delay and immediately had her subordinates go through the discharge procedures.
She didn't go home but went to Xia Yuanfang's studio that night.
There, Xia Yuanfang gave the child the last injection of medicine.
She said, "This is the last injection of Gene Stabilizer. This injection can guarantee that he will not switch to beast form at thirty days."
This would ensure that he grew up in human form, and even if Ning Sa was gone, he would never be treated as a Humanoid Slave and sent to the Royal Breeding Farm.
Ning Sa looked at the child in her arms and said with a wry smile, "Am I being greedy? I was satisfied as long as he could switch to human form, but after he switched to human form, I hoped that he wouldn't switch back to beast form within thirty days."
"Now that you guarantee that he won't switch to beast form within thirty days, I hope... he won't have to switch to beast form for the rest of his life..."
"I even hope that his genes can be like normal people from now on, so that at least when he goes to school, he won't be detected as having Humanoid genes..."
Xia Yuanfang listened to her quietly and said with a smile, "Since you have these hopes and requests, I can try. However, not switching to beast form for a lifetime, for a Humanoid, even if it can be done, do you really want that?"
Humanoids who switch to beast form have completely different physical qualities and special abilities from human form.
The Humanoid Lowly People can freely switch between human and beast forms, giving them one more choice than Humanoid Slaves.
Ning Sa frowned, "What you said makes sense, but his current birth certificate says he is a proper human being. I don't want him to have another choice, in case he is discovered, the consequences will be disastrous..."
Even if the child's father had such status and power, he would not be able to protect him.
Xia Yuanfang said, "Since you have thought it through, I can find a way."
"Really?!" Ning Sa was surprised and delighted.
She was just saying it casually, knowing that she was wishful thinking.
She didn't expect Xia Yuanfang to say that she could "find a way"! This had never happened before!
The Beichen Empire has been established for over ten thousand years, and in its history, there has never been anyone who could do anything about the genes of Humanoids!
Moreover, the Empire has laws strictly prohibiting research on genes, and even more strictly prohibiting the production of chemically synthesized potions that affect genes.
Thinking of this, Ning Sa became a little worried again, and cautiously asked, "Doctor Xia, this potion of yours, it's not a chemically synthesized potion, is it?"
Xia Yuanfang said without changing her expression, "Of course not, where would a small studio like mine get the equipment to make chemically synthesized potions? It's just that I found some particularly rare herbs that happen to be able to concoct some potions."
"...What herbs can affect the genes of Humanoids..." Ning Sa asked in trepidation, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. If I did, I'd be dragging myself and my son in with me, I'm not that stupid. I'm just worried that if something happens to you, I can help you clean up..."
She was worried that Xia Yuanfang was actually doing research on gene-related chemically synthesized drugs.
The research and development of such chemically synthesized drugs is strictly prohibited by the laws of the Beichen Empire.
If Xia Yuanfang was really playing with fire, Ning Sa would definitely have to clean up the mess for her, otherwise, all her hard work in giving birth to her son would be in vain.
Xia Yuanfang thought for a while and said, "Madam Ning is not doing scientific research, so she may not understand the situation. According to my many years of research, I have found that some natural herbs can adjust and replenish genes to a certain extent without interfering with natural genes."
"The adjustment of your son's genes is based on the inspiration of this research idea, using special herbs to concoct a pure natural potion. As for what herbs, that is a trade secret, please forgive me for not being able to disclose it."
Ning Sa calmed herself down and confirmed again, "Really natural herbs? The reason I ask this is because since you're opening a business, more and more patients will be looking for you in the future. As long as more people know, things will go wrong. So we must prepare for the worst possible scenario."
Xia Yuanfang nodded, "I agree with Madam Ning's view, and I can also guarantee that it is indeed natural herbs. If someone wants to make trouble for me, then I'll see them in court. I know these things."
If it went to court, according to the civil law principle of "whoever asserts, bears the burden of proof," it would be up to the other party to produce evidence that her potion was not a natural potion, rather than her proving it herself.
She was absolutely confident in this.
Moreover, she had also tried to befriend Quan Yuxun, the Qilin Child of the Quan Family, with this intention in mind.
Seeing Xia Yuanfang so certain, Ning Sa was also slightly relieved.
But seeing that Xia Yuanfang was full of scholarly air, and worried that she underestimated the malice of some people, she still said euphemistically, "If it comes to that, please be sure to notify me. You've seen it too. My son's father still has a certain status, at least enough to ensure you get fair and just legal treatment."
This was too rare.
Xia Yuanfang thought about it. If her studio really grew, having only Quan Yuxun as a backer would probably not be enough.
She also nodded and said, "Madam Ning, don't worry, if it really comes to that, I will definitely ask Madam Ning for help."
Ning Sa breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, then I can rest assured. By the way, my son's treatment is over, but in the future..."
Xia Yuanfang said, "Before your son goes to school, I will mainly research potions so that he can pass the school's gene test and enter as a human."
Ning Sa hurriedly said, "Then can his genes keep him in human form all the time?"
"I'll do my best. Before he turns six, he needs to come to my studio for an injection every year. After he turns six, he needs an injection every three years. After he turns eighteen, as long as he passes the final gene test, it should be stable and he won't need to continue injections," Xia Yuanfang said implicitly.
If it were before, she knew very well the efficacy of her research potions.
But now, she had to be careful and cautious.
Ning Sa was overjoyed and said, "Doctor Xia, you can definitely do it! Only needing an injection once a year is already very good! I know human children get vaccinations, and there are many times before they turn six!"
Doctor Xia smiled and continued, "As for the consultation fee, it's one hundred thousand per injection."
"Worth it! Worth it! Only one hundred thousand a year, we're the ones making a profit!" Ning Sa was beaming, as if she had already seen her son's bright future.
Xia Yuanfang was also charging such a high price because she saw that Ning Sa was not short of money.
Of course, it was also to take this opportunity to have more financial resources to carry out more in-depth research.
Then, Xia Yuanfang tentatively asked, "Madam Ning, I saw that the name you filled in when you were admitted to the hospital was not your real name, so your son's identity..."
Ning Sa smiled, "Doctor Xia, in Mulan City, I also work part-time in household registration. If you need it, I can definitely help you obtain legal identification documents."
"...That works too? I heard that the Special Security Bureau is particularly powerful, and now all household registration information is networked..." Xia Yuanfang said embarrassedly.
Ning Sa was too smart, she guessed what she meant after hearing just one sentence.
Ning Sa said, "Coincidentally, the household registration information on Guiyuan Star is managed in paper form and is not networked. Therefore, the identification documents I can provide are all fully verified and recognized by the Empire."
It was also for this reason that she could make a legal human civilian household registration identity for her son.
As long as his gene test was not a problem, her son, Ning Sa's son, would be a true human.
Xia Yuanfang was curious, "Even robots can chat with people, but why is the household registration management on Guiyuan Star still paper-based?"
This backward management method seemed out of step with the technological level of this era.
Ning Sa smiled meaningfully: "No matter how advanced technology is, some of the big shots above still have needs. Do you know why Quantum Optical Brains require real-name authentication, but Smart Bracelets don't? — Same principle."
Xia Yuanfang suddenly understood and said in a low voice, "...When the water is too clear, there are no fish; when people are too discerning, they have no followers. So the backwardness of Guiyuan Star is not a real lack of technological development, but man-made."
"It's good that you know. We understand each other without speaking." Ning Sa held her child even tighter.
The second update is here, don't forget to vote for recommendation, my darlings! There will be a new update at 0:05 tonight.
