"Our children are already running around with their mothers even before they're born. What will they become?"
“How about learning to do experiments with me?” Nguyen Mai said.
"Are you asking me? I think it's good to take the kids out and about. Staying in the lab all the time will make them as dull as their mothers."
Qiong was stunned for a moment before realizing that Ruan Mei, who always did things her own way, was asking for her opinion. She wanted to teach all the knowledge she had learned to the child, but she was not dictatorial. Instead, she respected the child's father's opinion. After Qiong realized what was going on, she also expressed her thoughts.
“I won’t stay,” Nguyen Mai retorted.
"Okay, okay, my wife is the smartest. No one can fool you except me, who can make you my wife."
When Ruan Mei heard Qiong coaxing her like a child, she raised an eyebrow slightly. It had been too long since she had been intimate with Qiong, making her forget what it meant to be the head of the household. Back then, Ruan Mei could control Qiong to do anything, and she could do it again now.
Ruan Mei pulled Qiong by the hand and led him into the bedroom. She pushed him onto the bed and sealed his lips with hers. Qiong seemed to want to say that her body was not suitable for intimacy, but Ruan Mei always did what she wanted and didn't care what he thought. Qiong's restraint was quickly defeated by Ruan Mei's powerful charm. He poured all the longing he had accumulated over the past few days into her. Both of them satisfied each other's longing. Once they were intimate, they forgot about time. When they came to their senses, a whole day had passed.
"Wife."
Qiong's arm was draped over Ruan Mei's shoulder. During their intimacy, Qiong felt like he was going to die of pleasure. Especially when he saw her, who was usually expressionless, changing her expressions and showing seductive mannerisms that he never saw before, Qiong really felt like he was going to ascend to heaven.
"Ah."
Ruan Mei responded with a nasal sound. Although she was tired, she was in good spirits. She gently stroked Qiong's chest, which was only a step away from the star core inside him. However, Ruan Mei was not interested. As a genius, she had naturally studied star cores and concluded that they were not special items. It would be better to study the star god directly.
"Are you really going to do something so dangerous? Let me handle dealing with the Abundant Star God," Qiong said to Ruan Mei.
"Don't talk like you have that ability."
Ruan Mei poked Qiong's chest with his finger and said, which sounded cool, but he wasn't even an envoy yet, so how could he possibly deal with the Abundant Star God? The other party didn't even have the interest to look at him.
"Well, I don't have it now, but I'll definitely have it in the future. I don't want you and your child to take risks."
Qiong smiled somewhat awkwardly, but he didn't think it was too much to overdraw his future self, since it would all be his sooner or later anyway.
“The plan won’t be implemented so quickly. By then, the child will have already been born. If something happens to me, you can let Black Tower raise the child.”
Ruan Mei calmly responded to Qiong's words. Her plan would not change, but unlike before, she now had an important existence to prolong her life.
"You two are really close, like family, but I don't want anything to happen to you."
Qiong patted Ruan Mei's shoulder, somewhat amused and exasperated. Her words made it sound as if Black Tower would willingly raise her child. Although Black Tower wouldn't really care about such things, it probably would still prefer to see a lively and energetic Ruan Mei.
Will you let me down?
Ruan Mei looked at Qiong's face and asked him a seemingly random question. Qiong looked at her strangely and shook his head naturally.
"Me? I would never do that. You are such a wonderful woman who has given everything to me. How could I possibly let you down?"
Qiong thought Ruan Mei was asking him if he would abandon her and their child in the future. Qiong felt that he would never leave Ruan Mei unless he died. What serious illness would he have to give up such a beautiful wife?
"My father and mother failed to keep their promise to my grandmother, which is a betrayal. I also failed to fulfill my promise to protect my parents, which is a betrayal as well. Only science... will not betray us."
Ruan Mei's gaze was unfocused, and she seemed lost in thought as she muttered to herself. Qiong gleaned some information from her ramblings; it seemed that his parents-in-law had passed away. However, this was not surprising, as Ruan Mei would not be this kind of person if they were still alive.
"Wife, what's wrong with you?"
Qiong held Ruan Mei's soft body in his arms with some concern, hoping to warm her body and soul, but Ruan Mei gently pushed him away and looked at him with empty eyes.
"I'm certain I won't make the same mistake again. Because if I no longer trust, I won't be let down again, and likewise... I won't let anyone down."
Qiong felt a chill run down her spine when she heard Ruan Mei's words. It sounded like she was breaking up with him. Qiong even wanted to knock Ruan Mei unconscious on the spot, drag her back, and tie her up. In any case, he couldn't let her make such a decision.
"But I made an exception for you. I wanted to believe that you wouldn't let me down, so I was willing to get hurt again just to be with you."
Ruan Mei seemed to understand what Qiong was thinking. She rested her head on Qiong's shoulder and said something that made him feel very relieved, which made Qiong happy again.
Chapter 385 The Immortal Boat Journey Ends
"Are you worried that I'll die before you? Don't worry, I will never die. Have you forgotten that I have a super strong fighter, Quan, by my side? If you want me to be in any danger, you'll at least have to be able to beat her."
"When the Yellow Springs are out of the meta, it will be my turn to hold up the sky above you. You and the Black Tower both acknowledge my growth rate, right?"
Qiong said confidently that he was just lucky. He was sure that if he was unlucky, he would have died on the space station long ago. His heartless mother and aunt abandoned him in a dangerous area after he was born. Qiong was saying that even if they were going to abandon him, could they at least abandon him in a safe area like the main control room?
"Uh-huh."
Looking at the confident glow emanating from Qiong, Ruan Mei subconsciously nodded. Her prediction was probably correct; Qiong might really become the being she had imagined.
"So you don't need to worry, just trust me completely, my wife."
Qiong kissed Ruan Mei on the cheek, and Ruan Mei wrapped her arms around his neck, returning his kiss with all her might.
“I love you like a mother loves a father, and I can understand that feeling now.”
Ruan Mei spoke earnestly. Although she had always maintained a calm demeanor towards her feelings, she was not ambiguous when it came to expressing love. She now understood the feeling that she could only see but could not grasp in her childhood.
"Ah Ruan, you mustn't let our child down either."
Qiong whispered in Ruan Mei's ear. This first-ever use of the name made Ruan Mei tremble. It was her nickname, and no one had called her that for many years. It was quite a surprise to hear it from Qiong's mouth. Of course, she was also concerned about what Qiong said.
"Yes, I will, I definitely will."
Ruan Mei nodded vigorously. Indeed, as Qiong said, she could not let her child down and let the child lose her mother like she had when she was a child. In the future, when she was conducting dangerous research, she would not prioritize efficiency, but would put safety first.
Qiong has completed all the tasks he needed to accomplish in Luofu. The martial arts ceremony has come to a perfect close, and the guests who have traveled from afar are beginning to leave the immortal ship. It is also time for Qiong to leave. He will first send Cocolia and the others back to Yalilo VI, and then go to the space station to see Tingyun.
"Yelena, you must come to Yalilo No. 6 when you have time. I'll reserve some work for you without time limits."
Qiong held Topa's hand and said goodbye to her reluctantly at the port. Topa had also completed her mission, getting the company's people out of the prison, and was now preparing to leave.
"You bastard, are you even speaking human language? Don't I need to rest?!"
Toppa glared at Qiong and said that if it weren't for her last sentence, which made her sound like a human being, it would be ridiculous to realize that she had been called over just to handle work. She was genuinely amused by the situation.
"Don't be angry, give me a kiss."
Qiong, with a smile, put his arm around Topa's slender waist and tried to kiss her, but Miss Yelena resisted fiercely.
"no no no!"
Although Topa shook her head, she did not leave Qiong's arms. As a result, she was kissed again. She boarded the ecoship with resentment towards him, but the moment the hatch closed, a sweet smile appeared on her face. Saying goodbye with a kiss was a nice experience.
"Brother-in-law, I'm leaving now. I don't know when we'll see each other again."
Fei Xiao waved to Qiong and said casually. Standing beside her were Jiao Qiu and another subordinate. Qiong did not recognize the elusive man, but she knew that such a person existed.
"Remember to keep in touch with me by phone. I will definitely be by your side if anything happens."
Qiong held Feixiao's hand with great reluctance. He truly cherished Feixiao as half a sister-in-law and half a wife. Now that the time for parting had come, he could only hide his sadness in his heart and smile on the surface.
Fei Xiao nodded, hugged Qiong, and kissed him hard on the lips. Then, he boarded the starship with his two stunned subordinates and disappeared from Qiong's sight.
"My husband, my husband! Li'er can't bear to part with you!"
Yun Li clung to Qiong and refused to let go, her thighs tightly wrapped around his waist. Huai Yan, watching from the side, felt embarrassed and pulled his bamboo hat over his face, pretending not to see anything.
"Li'er, be good, Grandpa is still waiting for you."
Qiong gently patted Yun Li's back and said, "At this moment, I can't help but sigh at the matter of fate. Last time when I parted with Yun Li, we were like enemies, but now I can't live without her."
"How about I go with you on the train?"
After getting off Qiong, Yun Li said in a willful manner, and it's not surprising that she would say something like that, given her personality.
"You unfilial grandson, you don't even want your grandfather anymore now that you have a man."
Huaiyan made a glaring face on the side. In fact, he would have agreed if Yunli insisted on going, but he also knew that Yunli was just saying it. She still had trials to complete. How could she give up her identity as the Flame Wheel Eight Leaves and only care about romance?
"Haha, Grandpa, don't be angry. When you get old, you're just like a child."
Yun Li stuck out her tongue at Huai Yan and started calling him a child. The old general coughed twice in anger, but he was still very pleased. His granddaughter was different now that she had a husband. She had become sensible and had finally stepped out of the shadow left by her father and was starting to walk in the direction of an adult.
"Teacher Yun Li, you said you didn't like Qiong..."
March 7th spoke up with a wronged expression. She knew things would turn out this way. Looking at Yun Li and Qiong's inseparable appearance, she wondered how long they had been together, and now it had finally been exposed.
"Ah, Little March, how should I put this? It's my fault, Master. I'll definitely bring you two more swords next time we meet."
Yun Li was also a little embarrassed at this moment. She quickly shared the snacks she had prepared to take back to Zhu Ming with San Yueqi. Although she was the master, she did not make excuses for what she had done, but sincerely apologized.
March 7th wasn't angry at all, and she quickly made up with Yun Li. The two hugged each other, saying they couldn't bear to part and that they would continue to learn swordsmanship when they met again.
After seeing off three groups of people, it was time for Qiong to leave as well. He had forgotten that he was also a guest. When it was his turn to leave, his two wives who stayed behind in Luofu would feel lonely.
"My lord, may you have a safe journey. I will keep watch over you with the Qiong Guan Formation."
Fu Xuan held Qiong's hand and said softly, "This separation is completely different from the last one. Now she is Qiong's wife, and no amount of concern is too much for her."
"That's too energy-consuming. It's better to use your phone to make video calls more often."
Qiong said with a smile. Fu Xuan then remembered that his phone also had this function, so he nodded and left a kiss on Qiong's left cheek.
"My husband, I entrust Qingni to you, and I entrust Tingyun to you as well. We'll meet again someday."
Yu Kong also kissed Qiong on the right cheek. It was their duty as wives to make their husbands feel happy when they parted.
Qiong and the others boarded the Starry Sky Train. As she left, she waved to them. However, Fu Xuan and Yu Kong both saw a red figure following Qiong onto the train, and they couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
"Is that spirit sand? Why did she leave with her husband? Doesn't she even want the Pill Cauldron Department anymore?" Yu Kong asked in confusion.
"Hmm, I've done some calculations, and I think she went to Yalilo No. 6 with her husband on business. As for what they were doing... that's a secret."
Fu Xuan closed her eyes and sensed it for a moment, then quickly guessed what Ling Sha was going to do. As for whether she had foreseen that Ling Sha was going to meet a wanted criminal, no one knew.

Chapter 386 The Bad Woman's Bribery
With the leaping motion of the Star Train, the group instantly saw the blue planet. The glaciers had long since melted away under Ruan Mei's miraculous transformation, and the planet had regained its original colors, with blue and green mixed together. The former resort had been completely revived.
"I'm taking Ling Sha to see Dan Shu. See you later!"
As soon as Qiong arrived at his destination, he couldn't wait to take Ling Sha's hand and say goodbye. Accompanying him was Ruan Mei. Since they were already there, she wanted to chat with the woman who had received the blessing of abundance. Such a person was rare.
A moment later, the three stood at the entrance of the pharmacy. Since Dan Shu learned that Yalilo VI was Qiong's lair, she had been leaving less often and spent all her time in the alchemy room refining medicine. Yalilo VI was gradually becoming a tourist attraction, and Dan Shu was treating more and more people. Her pharmacy was now quite famous on the cosmic forum.
"Dan Shu, I'm back!"
Qiong pushed open the door of the pharmacy and went inside. He was one of the few people who would not trigger the alarm after entering. Dan Shu, as a wanted criminal, was very cautious and set up alarms to distinguish between normal people and Yunqi soldiers.
"A-Qiong!"
Dan Shu rushed out of the alchemy room. As she left, Ling Sha spotted a batch of pills being refined. If she left now, the pills would be ruined. Not wanting to waste them, Ling Sha immediately went back into the alchemy room. She could take over and continue refining these simple pills, so it wouldn't be a waste.
"she is?"
Dan Shu could tell at a glance that Ling Sha was a member of the Chiming Clan, and judging from her skillful alchemy techniques, she was probably a powerful alchemist.
"The Director of the Imperial Cauldrons."
Qiong briefly explained Ling Sha's identity. Dan Shu, being such a clever woman, immediately understood that Ling Sha had come specifically to find her. However, she didn't blame Qiong at all. Instead, she talked to him about the Immortal Boat and patiently waited for Ling Sha to finish preparing the pills.
As the fragrant aroma of freshly made pills wafted through the air, Ling Sha emerged from the pill room, clutching a handful of pills in her hand. Her gaze towards Dan Shu was devoid of emotion; after all, Dan Shu was currently a wanted criminal on the Immortal Ship, and his actions had incurred the wrath of both heaven and man. It would be strange if Ling Sha had a pleasant expression.
"Should I address Ling Sha, or Lord Si Ding?"
Dan Shu smiled and asked Ling Sha. If she didn't know what this person had done, Ling Sha might have thought he was easy to talk to, but she was still very wary.
"You're acting very calm. Aren't you afraid I'm here to arrest you?" Ling Sha asked.
“I’m scared, but I can bribe you.”
Dan Shu's expression didn't change much, but what he said puzzled Ling Sha. She thought he was trying to bribe her with his knowledge of alchemy, so she didn't pay much attention.
"Ha, the former Lord Siding was quite humorous."
Ling Sha sat down opposite Dan Shu. She had something to ask, but she didn't adopt a humble attitude. Thus, the meeting between the old and new Si Ding began.
“The fact that Aqiong brought you here means that you two are already in the closest relationship. We are both his women, so there is no need for us to exclude each other.”
"However, you are a Celestial Ship person, so it's only natural that you hate me. Therefore, I will tell you the things you want to know, just don't make things difficult for A-Qiong."
Dan Shu spoke to Ling Sha from two different angles. She hoped to get along well with Ling Sha, but she did not intend to eliminate the hatred. Her attitude made Ling Sha's expression relax a bit, at least she was not as cold as before.
“I have many questions for you, all related to alchemy,” Ling Sha said.
"A-Qiong, you should go and keep the others company. You wouldn't understand our discussion anyway."
Dan Shu said to Qiong beside him, "We are preparing for a protracted battle with Ling Sha, so there is no need to take up Qiong's time."
"it is good."
Qiong reached out his hand to Dan Shu, and Dan Shu took the initiative to move into his arms, tilting his head up to express his feelings for him with a tender kiss. After that, Qiong left for Crepper Castle to find his long-lost Bronya and his wife Seele.
Ling Sha and Dan Shu's discussion quickly entered a state of complete absorption. Ling Sha completely ignored Dan Shu's status as a wanted criminal and only wanted to know how she operated those theoretical knowledge. It has to be said that the wanted criminals of the Immortal Ship are indeed of high quality. Ordinary people don't even have the qualifications to be wanted.
"Is what I meant by 'bribing me' using this knowledge?"
Ling Sha felt very satisfied at this moment. Many doubts and obstacles had been resolved. She knew that Dan Shu had explored this knowledge over many years, and it would be somewhat wrong for her to take it for free. Even if she was a wanted criminal, it could not hide this knowledge.
