Pet Baby, Part 3

The influence of the support group was quite strong. Soon, detailed information on the ten selected candidates was relayed back to Ye Mo. After organizing the data, Ye Mo personally verified some of the details through the network. Most of the information proved to be accurate.

After reviewing the reports, Ye Mo immediately eliminated two individuals. One had a history of drug abuse, and the other had an aggressive temperament and a tendency for abusive behaviour. She was unwilling to hand over a child to people like that, even if the children were puppet dolls. Although these dolls weren’t real humans, their souls were genuine. These children were the purest souls, having already been abandoned once. No matter what, she was determined to find them relatively healthy families this time.

Anyone with poor character was set to be removed from the list.

When the two disqualified candidates realized Ye Mo had kicked them out, they wanted to make a fuss. However, once their personal histories were laid bare in front of them, they couldn’t say a word. They were baffled—why go through such a thorough investigation just to sell a child?

With two candidates out, Ye Mo selected two more from the waiting list. Fortunately, their backgrounds were clean, so there was no need to make further replacements.

Ye Mo rewarded the people who gathered the information by sending them each a “milk melon.” These melons were level 8 fruits, but because the puppet dolls’ bodies weren’t fit for consuming high-level items, she had them prepared at this level.

Milk melons sold for a hefty price of 10,000 star coins each, and they were exclusive to families with a child. Those who received the fruit had the choice of consuming it themselves or reselling it at a much higher price.

Initially, the investigators didn’t know what reward they’d get, but upon learning it was a level 8 milk melon, excitement surged. After all, they’d never been able to get their hands on one before. Even though Ye Mo’s own family hardly touched level 8 fruits, she had prepared them specifically for the puppet dolls. While higher-level dolls could consume stronger items, she was wary of causing their rapid development, which might raise suspicions.

The ten approved candidates were ready for the auction, but Ye Mo decided not to proceed right away. She notified the group that the auction would take place in five days. Even though she had plenty of puppet dolls in her possession, she couldn’t release too many at once. The source of these dolls could raise questions.

After all, with the low birth rate across the interstellar community, if she suddenly produced an unlimited supply of puppet dolls, she would surely attract unwanted attention. The galaxy was facing a severe population shortage.

In the days that followed, Ye Mo tasked the group with investigating the remaining individuals in the queue, leaving the group and details to her loyal butler.

This time, Ye Mo planned to auction off two puppet dolls—a boy and a girl. Both were obedient and had innocent, pure looks, with no traces of resentment in their eyes. Ye Mo was careful not to grow too attached to the dolls, fearing that the longer she spent with them, the harder it would be to part with them.

Meanwhile, the fake planet remained calm, and Mo Mo didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving. At night, he and Ye Mo were wrapped in passionate intimacy every night, ignoring even the frequent interruptions from Qin Lin. Ye Mo had witnessed Mo Mo blocking Qin Lin’s calls and then blacklisting him on her wristwatch as well after Qin Lin called her after being unable to contact Mo Mo. In desperation, Qin Lin resorted to cursing Mo Mo through private messages on Mo Mo’s blog.

Qin Lin was furious. He had spent much more time with Ye Mo, so why didn’t he have a chance with her?

Lately, Qin Lin had been going crazy on the main planet, surrounded by jealous women. To make matters worse, they were all demanding money to buy children. Knowing the truth behind these children, Qin Lin was exasperated. He wasn’t going to be that foolish.

Nevertheless, the women clung to him relentlessly, pushing him to the edge.

Although it seemed like Qin Lin harassed Mo Mo and Ye Mo, he was actually taking a break from his busy schedule.

Mo Mo later handed over the message from Lan Feng and the others to Ye Mo, warning her not to waste sympathy on Qin Lin, as he wasn’t worth it. Originally, Qin Lin had planned to dismiss the women after returning to the main planet, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it once he was surrounded by their beauty. Especially when he said he wanted to send them away, they all looked at him with tears in their eyes, and he almost surrendered instantly.

Ye Mo was uninterested in Qin Lin’s affairs, which pleased Mo Mo immensely. Little did he know, Ye Mo found him overly possessive. Thankfully, she had no interest in Qin Lin to begin with, or Mo Mo’s jealousy would have spiralled out of control.

Even if the higher-ups in the dark world insisted that she and Qin Lin were genetically compatible, Ye Mo didn’t care. She loved Mo Mo and had no intention of entertaining anyone else. From the start, it was Mo Mo’s face that captivated her, and no matter how she looked at him, he always seemed more handsome than Qin Lin.

Mo Mo was well aware of how much his wife adored his looks. Sometimes, he would strut around in his uniform just to see her eyes light up.

Qin Lin didn’t stand a chance.

The six little ones had recently resumed their training, spurred on by their parents’ rapid progress. In less than a month, Mo Mo and Ye Mo had once again advanced in their cultivation. Mo’s increase wasn’t immediately apparent, but Ye Mo had successfully entered the higher level of Ghost General and reached the late Golden Core stage. (Now I totally confused about the heroine’s cultivation progress 😅 well it is what it is now) The benefits of dual cultivation were staggering, and now Ye Mo cooperated willingly, much to Mo Mo’s delight.

Whoever said cultivators needed to be detached from worldly desires clearly hadn’t experienced true love. Just look at them. The closer they grew, the more inseparable they became.
