They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 235 Ruan Mei's Art of Husband Taming

Fei Xiao tried his best to control his heartbroken expression, but two of the three people present were shrewd and intelligent, and the remaining one had studied the details of living things to an abnormal degree.

Therefore, all three people present understood Fei Xiao's feelings.

Dan Lei felt a little guilty at this moment. Although he only wanted to curry favor with someone at the beginning, it had now almost developed into flirting without actually marrying them, so he was really in the wrong.

Moreover, the little thoughts that everyone understands about men are urging Danlei to quickly find a way to smooth things over.

Therefore, Dan Lei could only look to Jing Yuan to see if our Shence General had a way to break the deadlock.

However, Jing Yuan's current attitude is simply to watch the show and see what happens.

He stated that he "couldn't afford to offend" either of the two women.

Moreover, you, Dan Lei, only use Jing Yuanyuan when things are going well, and you only become Shence General when things are going badly, so you should definitely become the blind general.

Seeing that Jing Yuan couldn't be relied on, Dan Lei decided to bite the bullet and ask Jing Yuan to take Fei Xiao to rest first, so as to at least push things forward and avoid being stuck at the dock.

Before Dan Lei could speak, Ruan Mei spoke up first.
"Miss Feixiao, I personally have no objection to Danlei giving you the golden apple."

This stuff was originally from seeds that Danlei brought back, which I cultivated. It's not too rare for us.

And I trust his judgment.

Ruan Mei has now confirmed Dan Lei's earlier statement that the Golden Apple was homegrown, and has successfully diverted Fei Xiao and Jing Yuan's attention.

Feixiao asked in surprise.

"This thing can actually be grown?"

Ruan Mei nodded, took the fruit pit back from Fei Xiao's hand, and smiled.
"In principle, this golden apple core can also grow into a new golden apple tree."

Of course, the reality is not that simple; this tree is not so easy to grow.

As they spoke, Ruan Mei handed the golden apple core to Dan Lei, indicating that he should keep it safe.

Fei Xiao and Jing Yuan understood Ruan Mei's decision to collect the fruit pits; these things were treasures no matter where they were kept, and certainly shouldn't be allowed to leak out.

However, after it was over, Ruan Mei gave Fei Xiao a smile of interest and said...

"However, after I first grew the golden apple, all I had was data on the effects of short-lived plants eating it. (Provided by Black Tower)"
I don't have data on whether immortal beings eat this fruit.

So, Miss Feixiao, may I give you a full body checkup?

Don't worry, there won't be any surgery. It's mainly to assess your physical condition, pluck some hair, and draw some blood.

If an ordinary researcher had made the same request as Ruan Mei, they could have thrown her into the Dark Prison on charges of "greed for immortality" and let her have a proper talk with the Ten Kings.

But Ruan Mei doesn't have this problem. Not to mention that she has already cultivated golden apples with life-extending abilities comparable to the fruit of the Jianmu tree, she has no need to covet the longevity techniques of the Immortal Boat.

Even without the Golden Apple, given Ruan Mei's status in the field of creation, Fei Xiao would agree to let her conduct a comprehensive examination of him.

Because Fei Xiao is now unsure whether he still belongs to the fox-human race.

After all, how could a fox-people normally live for thousands of years? If things go wrong, the Immortal Ship might end up with another race, the Celestial Dog subspecies of the Hominidae family.

Therefore, Fei Xiao nodded in agreement.

“No problem, Ms. Nguyen Mai.”

Seeing that Fei Xiao agreed, Ruan Mei turned around and said...

"Let's go then, let's check now, let's go to Danlei's house."

We can also chat while we're at it.

Fei Xiao had no objection to Ruan Mei's arrangements, and she felt it was quite normal for Ruan Mei to want to talk to her.

However, upon hearing this, Dan Lei broke out in a cold sweat and quickly said...
"Okay, then I'll go help."

However, Dan Lei's words immediately drew a death stare from Ruan Mei, who coldly said...
"A full body check requires you to take off your clothes. Are you sure you want to help?"

Dan Lei was so glared at by Ruan Mei that he could barely speak. He then glanced at Fei Xiao, which made her blush.

Dan Lei felt the chill emanating from Ruan Mei intensify, and in fright, he quickly pointed at Jing Yuan and said...
"No, I won't help! Jing, Jingyuan still wants to drag me to a meeting."

The war isn't over yet, and I have a ton of things to do. I won't go home unless you call me!

Dan Lei's statement eased Ruan Mei's chill slightly, but she still asked expressionlessly.

"If you're not going home, where do you want to go?"

At this moment, Dan Lei truly understood what it meant to be stubborn and inflexible, trying to shift the blame directly to Jing Yuandao.
"I probably won't be able to go back anytime soon. The antimatter legion will definitely attack again, and Jing Yuan will definitely send me into battle again then."

Upon hearing Dan Lei's words, Ruan Mei's gaze immediately turned to Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan stated that he was just a bystander, and wondered why Dan Lei had dragged him into this mess, so he immediately expressed his opinion.
"Dan Lei, you've worked hard. Next time the antimatter legion attacks, I will personally lead the campaign and will not trouble Lord Dragon Lord."

Seeing that Jingyuan was not helping him out of the predicament, Danlei's eyes widened in surprise.

However, Jing Yuan pretended not to see it, saying, "You little brat, trying to show off your emotional richness to me? You've messed up now."

Fortunately, Ruan Mei only intended to give Dan Lei a slight reprimand and didn't make things too difficult for him, stating frankly...

"If the antimatter legion doesn't attack, go home before dinner."

"By the way, General Jingyuan, is there something you wish to discuss with General Feixiao?"

Jing Yuan certainly had something to discuss with Fei Xiao, but since Xing Xiao was temporarily away, Jing Yuan felt that the matter with Fei Xiao wasn't urgent, so he said...
"No, you can chat as much as you like. As long as Xingxiao doesn't attack, you can talk until tomorrow."

Since Jing Yuan had said so, Ruan Mei nodded and left with Fei Xiao.

After the two had disappeared from sight, Jing Yuan patted Dan Lei on the shoulder and said with a hint of schadenfreude.
"Danlei, I don't think there's anything wrong with being single."

In response to Jing Yuan's words, Dan Lei replied directly...
"You're single, but don't turn Yanqing into a blockhead who's indifferent to women."

I think he'll definitely find a beautiful wife in the future.

After saying that, Dan Lei quickly left the port.

Of course, Danlei had nowhere to go after leaving the port, so he could only go to Shence Mansion to sit for a while.

Jing Yuan followed Dan Lei the whole way. After returning to Shence Mansion, he immediately went into work mode and began to arrange for people to investigate the movements of the Star Howl Antimatter Fleet.

Xingxiao's retreat this time was a ruse by Feixiao.

Feixiao's appearance made her think that the support fleet of [Yaoqing] had arrived nearby, and she retreated to avoid being attacked from both sides by being outflanked.

However, a fake is a fake. Once Xingxiao discovers that [Yaoqing]'s support fleet has not arrived nearby at all, she will definitely attack again.

With Xingxiao's abilities, she should be able to guess that Feixiao had run all the way here, with the purpose of scaring her away and buying time for Luofu.

We are all messengers, and not messengers of abundance, preservation, or other natural endurance.

Xingxiao would definitely be able to analyze that Feixiao is most likely a paper tiger now, and his fighting power is almost gone.

As a result, Xingxiao's next attack will definitely be even more intense, and she might even make a move herself right away.

Fortunately, Xingxiao never expected that Danlei would bring out a divine object like the Golden Apple to help Feixiao recover.

Therefore, Jing Yuan will definitely set a trap for Xing Xiao's next attack.

This makes reconnaissance work particularly important.

However, somewhat surprisingly, Nguyen Mai and Fei Xiao's conversation ended faster than expected.

Less than three hours later, Fei Xiao arrived at the Shence Mansion alone to indicate that he was returning to the team.

Jing Yuan had no authority to command Fei Xiao, so everything had to be discussed. He inquired a little about Fei Xiao's medical examination.

After learning that Fei Xiao was now in excellent physical condition and only needed to fight the Great Lord of Annihilation to test her strength, Jing Yuan handed over all the intelligence gathered in Luo Fu to Fei Xiao, asking her to understand the current situation before discussing anything else.

As for Dan Lei, he was feeling quite uneasy at this moment.

Dan Lei really wanted to ask Fei Xiao what she and Ruan Mei had talked about.

But since Fei Xiao came in, he's been completely focused on his work, and I haven't had a chance to ask him anything.

Of course, Fei Xiao's fully erect and occasionally twitching ears, and the glances she secretly gave Dan Lei, all proved that she was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

Fortunately, this shows that her conversation with Nguyen Mai was relatively pleasant, at least they didn't fight.

Before he knew it, it was dinnertime. Dan Lei, with the heavy feeling of a student who had failed an exam clutching a test paper waiting to be signed, slowly walked back to Jinren Lane.

However, upon opening the door and entering the house, one is greeted by the aroma of food.

Ruan Mei had already prepared Ruan Fan, and Dan Lei was about to return.

However, looking at the table full of delicious food, Dan Lei really lost his appetite.

Because this meal was significantly more lavish than usual (during the time Zhu Ming and Xian Zhou lived together), it felt like a last meal before death.

Of course, this was just Dan Lei's personal feeling. Ruan Mei still casually invited Dan Lei to sit down and eat.

At this moment, Danlei was like a primary school student who had done something wrong. He sat down, buried his head in his food, and tried to minimize his presence, not daring to say a word.

Ruan Mei found the scene amusing; Dan Lei occasionally displayed a childlike side, which she found quite amusing.

After all, at Danlei's age, he's only around 20 years old in the Chiming Clan, still a naive teenager. In 21st-century Earth, he wouldn't even have graduated from university.

So, seeing that the time was right for this warning, Ruan Mei took the initiative to speak.
"Danlei, actually my attitude has never changed."

"I don't mind if you have children with other women of special races. I've examined General Feixiao; she now meets the standards for a special race."

Dan Lei didn't understand what Ruan Mei was saying, because he was sure that "of course" and "but" would follow immediately.

As expected, Ruan Mei didn't wait for Dan Lei's reply at all. After a slight pause, she continued speaking.

"Of course, you still have to handle things with the Black Tower yourself."

I promised to help cover for you while I slowly pulled Black Tower away, but I didn't mention that you had an affair with another woman and that I would cover for you.

Dan Lei could only laugh and cry at Ruan Mei's words.
"Ruan Mei, do you believe me if I say that Fei Xiao and I are innocent?"

Ruan Mei answered immediately after hearing this.

"I believe you. I've examined Miss Feixiao's entire body, and she's still a virgin."

Furthermore, after asking a few questions, I can preliminarily confirm that she has virtually no dating experience.

Ruan Mei's words left Dan Lei speechless. He tried to talk to her about feelings, but she brought up real-world evidence. In the end, he could only reply...

"Just trust me."

Since they are innocent, there's no risk of any repercussions.

However, as soon as Dan Lei said this, Ruan Mei immediately shook her head.

"Really? Although you are innocent, Miss Feixiao is clearly aroused by you. Are you sure you can control yourself in the future?"

Moreover, your relationship has long surpassed that of friends.

I heard you've ridden Feixiao's Weiling form more than once. What do you think would happen if Jingyuan tried to ride it instead?

Jing Yuan wants to ride the Flying Yellow?

What other outcome could there be? In the best-case scenario, Jing Yuan would be sent flying by Fei Xiao's punch.

In the worst-case scenario, Feixiao will have to take out her giant axe and have a duel with Jingyuan.

Because such a request is no different from harassment.

Moreover, Feihuang is one of the Seven Ministers of the Imperial Bow, representing the Emperor's Bow Master. You think you can just ride him like that? Doesn't Feixiao, as a general, have any dignity?

However, as Nguyen Mai said, Dan Lei rode the Flying Yellow more than once.

In principle, it can be understood that Dan Lei has ridden Fei Xiao more than once.

In this situation, you're saying you're just ordinary friends? There's no flirtation between you two? Who are you trying to fool?

After a moment of silence, Dan Lei spoke with a determined look.
"Understood, I will try my best to avoid such misunderstandings in the future."

However, no sooner had Dan Lei finished speaking than Ruan Mei objected.
"Danlei, you seem to have misunderstood."

I didn't ask you to distance yourself from Miss Feixiao; I just really want to see what your child will look like.

The child born from the union of a fox with a lifespan of a thousand years and an immortal dragon.

I remember there was a legend about a sea fox dragon in ancient Xianzhou (a legend of fishermen in Zhejiang and Fujian). You might be able to recreate this mythical creature.

No, I need to synthesize the genes of the Fox Clan and the Wisdom Clan first.

I heard that Danfeng, the previous Dragon Lord of Luofu, used the flesh and blood of Shuhu and the fox people to create a mad dragon with hair.

If he can do it, there's no reason why I can't.

When Ruan Mei said this, her tone was excited, and based on Dan Lei's understanding of her, she was not joking.

So Danlei quickly stopped him.

"No, Ruan Mei, you absolutely must not conduct this kind of experiment in Luofu."

Even outside, this experiment needs to be kept strictly confidential, otherwise the Immortal Ship Alliance and the Ming Clan will definitely be in an uproar.

Ruan Mei naturally knew that this kind of experiment could not be done openly, much less on the fairy ship.

So she nodded and promised.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. This experiment won't be conducted on the Immortal Ship."

Also, regarding the Black Tower incident, I was just reminding you not to forget that there might be trouble on her side; I wasn't asking you to distance yourself from Miss Feixiao.

Dan Lei felt a little relieved after hearing Ruan Mei's words.

However, Dan Lei was unaware that Ruan Mei was currently conceiving a renovation plan.

The target of the transformation was Tingyun, who was still lying dead in Ruan Mei's laboratory.

Ruan Mei's idea was simple: if Tingyun could survive this, then using immortal power to fight against the power of destruction was a feasible solution.

After I finish studying the Jianmu fruit, I can add some abundant power to her body.

The fox-people have always been blessed with abundance, and strengthening her body will help her withstand more power.

If Tingyun doesn't make it through, things will be simple: her remains can be used as a basis to synthesize a new creature.

It can only be said that Nguyen Mai has absolutely no morals when it comes to bioengineering.

After all, she was the kind of person who could use her parents' remains for resurrection experiments.

Although she almost succeeded in the end, and her goal was to resurrect her parents, it is undeniable that the entire research process was accompanied by the sacrifice of other lives, and it was predictably mind-blowing.
