Now going back to the present…..
In the Saiyan Palace, Lin Chen was listening as King Vegeta and Paragus filled in the details about Bardock’s situation.
The way things unfolded was beyond his expectations.
He had never thought that even without the attacks of Vegeta and Nappa, the Z warriors on Earth would still suffer such a blow in this world.
Frost Demons! Sure enough, they indeed cannot be underestimated.
“So, Planet Vegeta is now heavily guarded just in case?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Bardock died in battle, Queen Hanasia is pregnant, and the defense of Planet Vegeta has never been more severe. Although there are Super Saiyan Gods like Tarble, as you can see, these guys have powerful strength but lack combat experience and can barely…” King Vegeta replied.
“Wait!” Lin Chen suddenly raised his hand. “What did you say? Pregnant?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Shortly after you left, Miss Tights and Queen Hanasia discovered they were pregnant. Miss Tights’ child is already two months old now. Saiyans have a longer gestation period than Earthlings, so the Queen has not given birth yet.”
Lin Chen wryly smiled. He didn’t expect to come back and find out that he already has children.
It all felt like a dream.
“Oh… I never expected you to have children already.”
At that moment, Lin Chen suddenly heard a cold voice behind him. It was Lazuli, standing right beside him.
Turning around, he saw Lazuli looking at him with a strange smile on her face.
“Hehe…”
“Your Majesty, who is this young lady?” King Vegeta asked, changing the subject.
Lin Chen was still trying to find the right words when he saw a pregnant woman sitting on a hovercraft being pushed towards him by two female Saiyans.
Behind them, another female Saiyan was pushing a Saiyan incubator with a naked baby inside.
“Your Majesty! You’ve finally come back!”
Despite his initial surprise, Lin Chen couldn’t help but feel overjoyed as he gazed upon Hanasia’s protruding belly, leaning in to plant a kiss on her forehead.
“I’ve troubled you.”
“It’s no trouble, Your Majesty. This is Tights and Your Majesty’s child,” Hanasia waved her hand and asked the female attendant beside her to push the incubator over.
In the incubator, a golden-haired mixed-blood Saiyan baby was sleeping soundly in nutrient fluid, wearing a mask.
“Your Majesty, it’s a boy. And the doctor said it’s the same in my belly too.”
With a somewhat amused expression, Lin Chen looked at his own child and thought to himself, ‘The genes of Dr. Brief family are really strong. The baby’s hair is the same color as his mother’s.’
In the original work, Vegeta and Bulma had two children, and both had their mother’s hair color.
And now, his and Tights’ child was the same.
A golden-haired Saiyan, isn’t that an innate Super Saiyan?
“Your Highness, Tights’ child and my child have not been named yet,” Hanasia said.
Lin Chen smiled. “Let’s call Tights’ child Lin Luo, and as for ours, how about Taro?”
Lin Chen named his and Tights’ child with an Earthling name, while for Hanasia’ child, he used the Saiyan naming convention.
“Taro? Lin Luo?” Hanasia softly repeated the two names, smiling. “I really like them. I think Tights will like them too.”
Female Saiyans get easily tired when pregnant, so Hanasia left after a while.
To his surprise, Lazuli and Hanasia didn’t show any hostility towards each other.
On the contrary, after learning that Lazuli came from another world, Hanasia became particularly curious and actively invited Lazuli to go out with her.
Watching them leave together, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
“Your Highness, who was that woman…?” Paragus asked.
“Never mind her. Just think of her as another Tights,” Lin Chen massaged his forehead and shifted the conversation to the matter at hand.
“By the way, I heard from Tarble earlier that there was news from Tights’ side that Kakarot and the others are planning to go to Planet Namek. What’s the situation now?”
King Vegeta reported, “Your Highness, based on the timing, Kakarot and the others should have already arrived on Planet Namek, but that brat Vegeta is still on the way.”
“Vegeta is too smart for his own good,” Lin Chen chuckled.
Ever since he heard that Vegeta went by himself to look for the Dragon Balls, he knew what Vegeta was up to. He just wanted to use Porunga to become stronger.
Unfortunately for Vegeta, he didn’t expect that there was a spaceship on Earth faster than his own.
Vegeta was King Vegeta’s son after all, and upon hearing Lin Chen’s evaluation, King Vegeta’s face turned red with shame.
Lin Chen waved his hand, indicating that the matter was over. He continued to ask, “So, have Kakarot and the others found Planet Namek’s Dragon Balls?”
“Well…there’s still no news at the moment. Kakarot and the others didn’t bring a communicator with them, and although that brat Vegeta did. But he hasn’t arrived on Planet Namek yet, and when we tried to contact him, he had already turned off his communicator,” King Vegeta said with a bitter smile.
Lin Chen rubbed his chin. In theory, with Frieza and Cooler both dead, Goku and his companions’ shouldn’t encounter any danger on their journey to Planet Namek.
Moreover, the current Goku is not like the one in original work where he had yet to attain the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan. Even though he may not have fully mastered the transformation just yet, his strength is not something that any ordinary person can contend with.
But for some reason, Lin Chen still felt uneasy.
It was just like Cooler’s appearance, which was completely outside his expectation…
Wait a minute…
Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, “Right! I remember that Galactic Patrol had warned us before that Cooler and his minions were beginning to move again. Besides Cooler, I remember them mentioning another Frost Demon . Who was that?”
“It was Frieza’s father, Cold!” Paragus answered.
“Cold?”
Lin Chen stood up suddenly, thinking to himself that it couldn’t be that coincidental, could it?
In this world, although Frieza was dead, could his father Cold replace him and go to Planet Namek?
Just as Lin Chen was wondering if such a coincidence was possible, a memory suddenly surfaced in his mind.
It was a certain day when Bardock was still alive, and Lin Chen was talking to him about his prophetic abilities.
Back when Bardock invaded Planet Kanassa, he was attacked with Future Punch technique by a surviving Kanassan warrior, giving him the power of foresight.
It was precisely because of this prophetic ability that he stood by Lin Chen’s side from the beginning, becoming his staunch follower, because he knew that if he didn’t follow Lin Chen, the future of the Saiyans would be nothing but darkness.
Years later, when the two of them were talking about Bardock’s ability, Lin Chen inevitably asked about Goku.
At that time, Bardock had told Lin Chen that the reason he agreed with Lin Chen’s suggestion to send Kakarot to Earth was because he saw a vision of Kakarot transforming into a Super Saiyan and fighting on Planet Namek one day in his prophetic ability…
