Qiong approached Feixiao with a puzzled expression and asked, while Feixiao punched him on the shoulder. "This is what you say when you reunite with your husband? You deserve to be hit."

"I was originally going to leave, but some things came up and I stayed for a few more days," Fei Xiao said.

"What is it?"

"Didn't General Yao Guang tell you? Wasn't Jing Liu taken to the Jade Palace for interrogation before?"

"Yes, I saw her."

“Jing Liu and her accomplice Luo Sha offered a plan to the Immortal Ship. Don’t ask what the plan is yet. The main thing is that their relationship brought us an ally, who is currently a distinguished guest.”

Feixiao mentioned that she knew about Shan Siling (i7) and the two Japanese-style jade rings. Qiong was very curious. It seemed that the guest was worthy of being welcomed by the three Immortal Boat Generals, which was why Feixiao did not leave. This was the kind of treatment one would receive if an envoy came in person.

"Who?"

“Genius Club 81, Nguyen Mai”

Fei Xiao glanced at Qiong with a meaningful look and said, "This guy has been saying things like Ruan Mei is his wife. Fei Xiao didn't expect Ruan Mei to actually come to the Immortal Ship."

That's my wife!

Qiong was stunned for a moment, then immediately said excitedly that he had tried to contact Ruan Mei many times before but had failed. She had actually come to him on her own. However, this was not through Qiong's connections, but because she was dealing with some matters.

"Although you say that, words are not enough. Today is the day our distinguished guest comes to Xianzhou to discuss cooperation. It's time to prove yourself."

Feixiao's expression showed a hint of doubt. If things were really as Qiong said, that would be great. It wasn't that she didn't trust her husband, but this was something she couldn't just believe so easily.

"When I meet my wife, I have to prove that I am her husband."

Qiong scratched his head, laughing and crying at the same time. Theoretically speaking, he was not qualified to go and join in the fun as a distinguished guest of the Immortal Ship, but that was his wife. Although Ruan Mei was the kind of person who would use her job title when speaking, which was very unfriendly, Qiong was the only exception. The first time she called Qiong, she did not use his name, but called him "darling".

"Otherwise, who doesn't know that you call me 'wife' as soon as we meet?"

Fei Xiao said with a smile. Qiong had nothing to refute. It was just his nature, so it was no wonder that Fei Xiao didn't believe him. However, the thought of meeting his wife Ruan Mei soon was a pleasant surprise.

Chapter 382 This is not just about his wife

After learning that Ruan Mei was about to arrive at the Immortal Ship, Qiong did not leave the port. Instead, she waited for her starship there. During this time, she naturally chatted with the train crew. Qiong happily boasted to March 7 that she had married Fu Xuan in the Jade Palace. Now the two were legally married, and Fu Xuan's personal information would have to state that he was married.

Fu Xuan greeted Fei Xiao somewhat reservedly. In the past, she would never have been so reserved in front of any general. However, the relationship between the two of them was quite delicate. They were like family, yet they had never met each other. But they were also married to the same man. This was truly difficult to bear.

Fei Xiao wasn't angry at all when she heard about Fu Xuan and Qiong's situation. She already knew what kind of person Qiong was. And this guy was someone Yu Kong had given to her. The female general wasn't an unreasonable person. She was also easygoing and straightforward. She quickly became familiar with Fu Xuan. As high-ranking figures on the Immortal Ship, they could naturally find common ground.

"You're something else to be envied."

March 7th openly admitted that he envied Qiong because Qiong was very good at deceiving women, and there were always women around him who were willing to be his wives. What March 7th envied was that Qiong was loved by so many people and surrounded by so many people.

"What's there to envy? You're my wife too."

Qiong found March 7's words a bit strange, but didn't take them to heart. Instead, she put her arm around March's shoulder and hugged the little March, telling her how she gained her father-in-law and mother-in-law's approval, which made March roll her eyes.

In this pleasant atmosphere, a strange triangular starship docked at the port. As illusory connecting lines shot out from under the hatch, a light curtain carpet connected the port and the starship. A pair of dark blue high heels, whose color and style boldly proclaimed the owner's elegant taste, stepped onto the light curtain, and a graceful woman in a cheongsam appeared in Qiong's sight.

Qiong didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment. It was probably like seeing dew after being thirsty in the desert for several days.

Qiong couldn't wait to go up and say hello, but Feixiao grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.

"Slow down, or you'll scare away the distinguished guests from the Immortal Boat. Jing Yuan will definitely eat you alive."

Fei Xiao gave a warning. Qiong was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, so of course she had to stop him. Letting him come here was already risky enough. If he did something outrageous, Ruan Mei wasn't his wife, and that would cause a huge uproar.

“I think it would be better to let his master come and eat the 'Three' Leek and Mountain Rice Noodles.”

Qiong helplessly shrugged. Seeing that he had calmed down, Feixiao put him down and walked with him to Ruan Mei.

"Ms. Ruan Mei, welcome to Luofu. Generals Jing Yuan and Huai Yan are already waiting for you at the Shence Mansion."

Feixiao spoke very politely to Ruan Mei. Actually, she hadn't come to greet Ruan Mei, but to pick up Qiong. She was just waiting here on the side. It was quite an honor to be personally greeted by a general.

"Thank you for your personal reception, General."

Ruan Mei said calmly, showing no emotion because of Fei Xiao's identity. In her view, Fei Xiao was just a stronger individual life form, unable to help her research, and was no different from an ordinary person.

"You don't recognize him?"

Fei Xiao asked in confusion. She noticed that Ruan Mei's gaze did not linger on Qiong, so she glared at him. She knew this guy was bragging. If she really was his wife, why was there no joy of reunion?

“I recognize him, he’s the father of my child.”

Ruan Mei nodded in response, her voice still calm, as if Qiong were a stranger, merely the child's biological father, and had no relation to her.

"This, you..."

Fei Xiao rarely found himself speechless with surprise, but after hearing Ruan Mei's words, he really didn't know what to say. Qiong really wasn't bragging, but this bombshell answer made everyone gasp. And then there's the comment, "Who asked about your child?"

"Wife, wife, I miss you so much."

When Qiong finally proved that he was Ruan Mei's husband, he was so moved that he almost cried. He reached out to hug his wife, but Ruan Mei raised her hand and placed it on his face.

"Honey, I need to talk about business. Can you wait until I'm done?"

When Ruan Mei spoke to Qiong, the temperature of his voice rose by about 3 degrees, which was enough to distinguish him from others. His "darling" melted Qiong's heart.

"Okay, of course."

Qiong knew she couldn't disturb Ruan Yaoqi (six) L Yisan 侕陾IX陾·Mei to talk about serious matters, after all, she didn't come to the Immortal Boat for her own sake, but as long as she was still in front of her, Qiong had no complaints.

"Hey, Qiong boy, are you going to be a dad?"

March 7th finally snapped out of her surprise. She wasn't surprised by Ruan Mei and Qiong's relationship, but she was extremely surprised that he was going to be a father. This change in status meant there were so many things to deal with. Little March 7th didn't know how to complain, and Dan Heng was rubbing his head. If Qiong's child, Qi Ling, were to resemble his father, the train crew would probably be doomed.

"Yes, time really flies. Not long ago I was just a child."

"You're not even two years old yet, do you have to exaggerate like this?"

"Auntie March, are you happy? From now on, people will call you auntie."

"Aaaaah, I don't want to hear it!"

The word "Auntie" is what March 7th fears most. Although Qingni always called her "Auntie" before, she knew it was all in jest. After all, she wasn't Qiong's biological child. But now that her biological child has appeared, the title "Auntie" is unavoidable.

As Jing Yuan's closest friend, Qiong was naturally qualified to enter the Shence Mansion to listen to their exchange. Since it concerned the cooperation between the genius and the immortal ship, the people from the Starry Sky Train could also participate, but neither San Yueqi nor Dan Heng came in to listen. Firstly, they did not want to meddle, and secondly, they felt that knowing too much was not a good thing. Qiong's main reason for coming was that he was Ruan Mei's husband.

“Ms. Nguyen Mai, it is an honor to speak with you face to face. Before we begin our discussion, I would like to ask a few questions.”

After inviting Ruan Mei to take a seat, Jing Yuan changed his usual easygoing attitude and showed the demeanor of a general. With Generals Fei Xiao and Huai Yan by his side, it could be said that he could control everything.

"General Jingyuan, please speak."

"What is your relationship with Jingliu and that blond traveler named Rakshasa?"

Jing Yuan asked a question unrelated to the cooperation, but he had to ask. Not all the people in the Genius Club were good people; there were also monsters like the Primal Doctor. However, Ruan Mei's reputation was quite good. Although she sometimes conducted strange experiments, she did not harm the local residents and even provided some help. She should be considered a member of the neutral and lawful camp.

Chapter 383 A Crazy Plan

"Regarding the cooperative relationship, I am not familiar with Jingliu. It has always been Luocha who has been in charge of negotiations. Moreover, I myself am somewhat interested in the Star God."

Ruan Mei spoke truthfully, and Qiong listened quietly beside her. He had only learned today that his wife wanted to participate in a plan to hunt down a god. This was different from what the Star Core Hunter had predicted. It was a battle against the Abundant Star God. If successful, it would end the countless years of enmity between the Immortal Ship and the God of Abundance. However, the risks involved were also imaginable. Even if the Immortal Ship had a Star God, it was not a divine war that humans could participate in. That was why an extraordinary genius like Ruan Mei was needed to join in.

As a bystander, Qiong overheard the conversation and learned a lot of strange information. For example, the Rakshasa had a part of the corpse of the Procreation Star God. Although Ruan Mei and Jing Yuan's conversation was very fantastical, the general idea was that if you use the worm's spike to poke the Procreation Star God, it will trigger a series of reactions that humans cannot understand, and then He will die suddenly.

Qiong felt like he was listening to a book written in heaven. When he was about to fall asleep, Ruan Mei and Jing Yuan finally reached a consensus. This was, of course, a mutually beneficial arrangement. If Ruan Mei could really help the Immortal Ship get rid of the Abundant Star God, she would probably ask for two Immortal Ships, and the Alliance would agree without hesitation. But she didn't need that. What she wanted was a part of the Star God.

"Ms. Ruan Mei, do you remember Ms. Tingyun, the ferryman of our Immortal Ship's merchant corps?"

Jing Yuan was pleased to have reached an agreement with the genius, but he did not forget his subordinates. According to Fei Xiao's intelligence sources, Ting Yun was likely in Ruan Mei's hands. Since he was already there, he had to find out the truth.

"Yes, she's in my friend's space station."

Ruan Mei nodded slightly, acknowledging that Ting Yun was right beside her. Jing Yuan's face lit up with joy, but it quickly turned serious again, because he knew that sometimes being alive was worse than being dead, especially when one had been harmed by someone.

"How is she?"

"I don't have the ability to bring the dead back to life, but I do have the ability to save people from death. Her will to live is very strong, and she is now out of danger, but her appearance will be somewhat different from before."

Ruan Mei calmly answered all of Jing Yuan's questions. When she heard that Ting Yun had really been saved and was not seriously injured, which meant that she should be fine now and had not suffered any torment, Jing Yuan finally smiled.

"Whatever the reason, I am very grateful to you for saving my men."

"If you want to thank someone, thank Rakshasa. He happened to encounter the damaged ship while traveling between stars and brought Tingyun out of it. He paid a price to let me save her."

Ruan Mei did not accept Jing Yuan's thanks, because she had only completed a commission. Without any benefit, she would not save a stranger based on her own preferences, even though she did have some fondness for foxes, especially fox tails.

"Why did he do this?"

Jingyuan thought of the blond man who followed his master. He was very wary of such people because you can't tell what they are thinking from their appearance, and they are easy to be tricked. Jingliu used to not associate with such people, but after the Demon Yin Body took effect, he didn't know where he met this strange man.

"I don't know, maybe they're saving it as a trump card."

Ruan Mei's words made Jing Yuan think. He wondered if Luocha was mistaken for an enemy after arriving at the Immortal Ship, and then was no match for the Cloud Cavalry. He might actually reveal Tingyun's whereabouts at the critical moment, proving that he had at least saved the people of the Immortal Ship.

"Are you done talking? Now I have to go spend time with my wife."

Qiong felt that they had talked enough, and he couldn't wait to be alone with Ruan Mei, so he took her hand and said to Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan started rubbing his head, and the two generals next to him did the same. The topic they had been discussing earlier had been a bit too exciting, and they had all forgotten that Ruan Mei was Qiong's wife. They found it hard to understand why, after all the twists and turns, this matter was still connected to Qiong, even though the connection was somewhat strange.

Qiong, holding Ruan Mei's hand, walked out of the Shence Mansion. At this moment, the sky seemed even bluer. Just as he was about to be affectionate with Ruan Mei, Yu Kong appeared in front of him.

"A-Qiong, Tingyun..."

Yu Kong's worried expression spoke volumes, and Qiong wasn't surprised. Yu Kong had already heard that Ting Yun might be in Ruan Mei's hands, but she hadn't had the means to contact Ruan Mei, so she put it aside. Now that Ruan Mei had come in person, she naturally put everything aside to come and inquire.

"Don't worry, Tingyun is safe now and should still be alive and kicking."

Qiong said the result that Yu Kong wanted to hear the most. Upon hearing that Ting Yun was alright, Yu Kong's eyes immediately filled with tears. Qiong also stepped forward to hug her and gently patted her back to comfort her.

"Where is she?"

Yu Kong's voice trembled slightly, as she was so excited that she couldn't control her tone. The joy of regaining what she had lost made her both cry and laugh.

"Black Tower Space Station."

"I'll go pick her up right now!"

Yu Kong wiped away her tears and prepared to personally pilot the Star Chariot to pick up Ting Yun. Even if it meant boarding the Star Chariot, which she hadn't set foot on in decades, and going against her past decisions, she wanted to see Ting Yun as soon as possible.

"better not."

Ruan Mei spoke up at this moment, acting as Tingyun's attending physician. Upon hearing this, Yu Kong, a family member, immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at her anxiously.

"why?"

Yu Kong's question went unanswered by Ruan Mei. She glanced at Qiong, and perhaps because they were of one mind, Qiong offered an explanation for her.

"Her identity was used by the Great Lord of Annihilation. If she returns like this, she will likely be the subject of malicious speculation. For example, people will wonder why she survived. That's how the Destruction Legion operates. Even with Ruan Mei's help, it won't dispel people's suspicions. They might say that she betrayed her friends and surrendered to the Great Lord of Annihilation to survive."

"What should we do?"

Yu Kong thought about it and felt that what Qiong said made sense. Even if no one speculated about it, Ting Yun would not be able to escape being interrogated. Just the fact that she was able to survive from the hands of the Great Lord of Annihilation was already suspicious. How could Ting Yun, who had just escaped death, withstand such a thing? It was heartbreaking to think about.

“I plan to have her go on a short trip with the people on the Starry Sky Train. This will be a process for her to understand herself. Coming back now will not be good for her as a new person.”

Ruan Mei then spoke up and revealed her plans. Hearing this, Yu Kong felt relieved.

"Okay, I understand. With Ah Qiong on the train, nothing will happen."

"Yes, I won't let you two be apart for too long. I'm here."

Qiong didn't expect Ruan Mei to want to put the new Tingyun on the train, but of course he wouldn't object. As someone who had once been married to Tingyun, he would naturally take good care of her. It's just that this relationship was really hard to explain. He couldn't very well tell Tingyun, whom he had just met, "Hey, I was intimate with another you."

Chapter 384 You Are the Exception

"Honey, where did you go? I couldn't find you when I looked for you."

Qiong followed Ruan Mei to her starship. The saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder" didn't quite apply to the two of them, because Ruan Mei was rather detached emotionally. Qiong often had to take the initiative to bring out her emotions. Just like now, holding Ruan Mei's hand and looking at her beautiful, intoxicating face, he was content.

"I went to a primitive star field with the Star Train, where I found a suitable location for the experiment, and I did not leave until the experiment was completed."

Ruan Mei explained calmly, but you could tell from her slightly clenched hands that she still liked being cared for by Qiong, though she didn't show it.

"Oh, right, Uncle Yang and Sister Ji Zi should be back soon too."

Qiong revealed a look of sudden realization. He had felt that something was missing before, and now he realized that the Starry Sky Train had never returned to Luofu, and the two elders had left them to their own devices.

"How is the child?"

Qiong placed his hand on Ruan Mei's abdomen and gently massaged it. A feeling of blood connection arose, which brought a smile to his face. His deep affection for Ruan Mei was being extended to the child in her womb; this was the continuation of life.

"Very healthy."

Ruan Mei smiled and said, as a top biologist, she could sense the child's condition at any time and knew his health status without any tests. It was probably because Qiong's genes had no defects, so the child inherited the strengths of his parents and was so healthy that Ruan Mei even doubted whether he was human.
