Seeing Wei Qingqing's sour look, Aunt Liu wasn't going to try to coax her. She knew Wei Qingqing's personality; the more you coaxed her, the more excited she became. If you ignored her for a while, she would calm down on her own. So she simply snatched two big melons from Wei Qingqing's hands and went to the side to eat them.

Wei Qingqing, having suffered a loss, naturally refused to stand for it, and so another fierce battle ensued.

Yang Ming ignored them, munched on half a large melon, let out a satisfied burp, and said, "This melon is getting tastier and tastier. You two, stop going crazy! You're always acting like shrewish women, pinching and biting me. I'm annoyed, even if you're not... I have something fun to do now, do you want to go check it out?"

"Huh???" Both women were quite surprised, stopping what they were doing and asking in unison, "What is it???"

"It's nothing serious. Do you remember that little white dragon from yesterday?" Yang Ming chuckled.

Yang Ming merely mentioned the White Dragon, and Wei Qingqing and Aunt Liu's big eyes immediately lit up. Of course they remembered the White Dragon; it was a pity they hadn't had the chance to see it properly in real life yesterday…

"In a little while, I'll release the little white dragon into our fishpond. Do you want to come and take a look?" Yang Ming said, his gaze sweeping over the two women's faces.

"Yes, yes, yes..." The two women nodded hurriedly.

"If you want it, then cancel all the plans and let's set off now..." Yang Ming wiped the melon juice off his hands, stood up from the floor, and walked outside.

The two women stopped fighting and followed Yang Ming hand in hand.

A warm breeze gently caressed the area, carrying a hint of chill. This was the wind from outside, blowing into the backyard. The warmth of the backyard hadn't washed away the chill, yet it still felt refreshing on one's face.

"Yang Ming, my godfather, you just said you were going to release the little white dragon into our fishpond, right?" Aunt Liu and Wei Qingqing, hand in hand, followed behind Yang Ming and suddenly spoke up.

"Yes, that's right..." Yang Ming nodded without turning his head.

"You, Yang Ming, do you think I'm stupid??? Yesterday I foolishly ran to the fishpond to see the dragon, and you didn't stop me. Were you feeling smug about it??? Look at that silly pregnant woman, I made her run around in circles..." Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu remembered how she had foolishly run to see the dragon yesterday, and she became furious, her little mouth starting to rant and rave about Yang Ming.

"Well, I couldn't say it directly to you guys in front of Phoenix, could I?" Yang Ming chuckled, completely unconcerned about Aunt Liu's 'attack'.

"Hmph..." Aunt Liu snorted, her face showing displeasure, but she was secretly delighted. She couldn't do it in front of Phoenix, but she could do it in front of her. That made it clear who was more important between her and her old classmate.

The three of them soon arrived at the edge of the fishpond.

Along the fishpond, the willows provide shade. The willows, which were not particularly withered to begin with, have sprouted tender green buds after the sudden warming of the weather, and look full of vitality.

Standing on the edge of the fishpond, stepping on the stone steps, looking at this fishpond that is neither too big nor too small, the calm water surface is occasionally rippling with waves, as the fish in the pond cut through the water with their tail fins.

"There are so many fish in this pond, and most of them are quite ferocious..." Aunt Liu stood next to Yang Ming, also looking at the seemingly calm water.

"Of course, when we released them into the wild, they were all mixed together, including quite a few carnivorous and ferocious fish..." Wei Qingqing said, holding Yang Ming's arm.

"I really don't know what you were thinking back then. If everyone raised fish like you, they would have gone bankrupt!" Aunt Liu rolled her eyes at Yang Ming and said.

"Hehe, I don't raise fish to make money. I just want to be able to catch a couple from the pond and stew them whenever I want to eat fish. Letting them grow in such an environment gives the fish a wild flavor..." Yang Ming laughed.

"Then what are you standing there for? Hurry up and release the little white dragon..." Aunt Liu urged.

"There's no place on me where a dragon might hide..." Yang Ming laughed.

"Then why did you bring us here???" Aunt Liu curled her lip. "Still playing dumb with me??? You definitely have some treasure on you that you can hide things on..."

"Pfft..." Wei Qingqing chuckled, "Aunt Liu, I really didn't expect you to be so clever..."

"It's no big deal for you to know, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone else..." Yang Ming chuckled and said.

"I won't tell, I promise..." Aunt Liu patted her chest and said confidently.

"If it were before, or even two hours ago, I definitely wouldn't have told anyone except Qingqing. But now, knowing that I actually have quite a background, I realize I've been far too cautious all this time. I look like a nouveau riche, lacking any of the demeanor of a wealthy person..." Yang Ming sighed, extending his left hand. "See this black ring??? This is my treasure, the Grand Landlord Farm Space Ring, the symbol of my identity. My true identity is actually a member of the Interstellar Agricultural Alliance. My life and property are protected by the Interstellar Agricultural Alliance..."

"Huh???" Not only was Aunt Liu stunned, but even Wei Qingqing's expression changed. The Interstellar Agricultural Alliance was something she didn't even know about.

Wait… two hours ago? Thinking of that time, Wei Qingqing's face instantly regained its rosy hue. Just two hours ago, she seemed to be picking melons in the greenhouse…

Yang Ming put his arm around Wei Qingqing's shoulder and said, "That's right, it was just two hours ago. Ya Ya told me. I didn't realize until then that I had such a powerful background. So now, I'm not afraid of anything... Hehehe..."

Yang Ming truly felt a sense of triumph this time. Even the cosmic empires dared not disrespect the Interstellar Agricultural Alliance, so on a planet with a very low level of technological civilization, he didn't need to worry about anything, even if this planet was his home planet.

"Don't be arrogant. I have a general idea of ​​what you mean by the Interstellar Agricultural Alliance, but you should know that Earth hasn't entered the interstellar age yet. Earthlings may not necessarily listen to you..." Wei Qingqing said.

"I feel like you two are talking in gibberish, I didn't understand a word..." Aunt Liu shook her head, her face full of confusion.

"Actually, I don't plan to let Earth enter the interstellar age. Once we enter the interstellar age, we'll be powerless to control our own destiny. In the interstellar space, our Earth is just an insignificant little planet. In the face of the grand trend of the universe, we can only drift with the tide. Moreover, according to Ya Ya's analysis, our Earth is currently in a stable ray, and spaceships simply cannot start... Well, at least before our Earth's technology develops, I have no such plan. The fate of a small planet with weak technology connecting with the universe is either to become a colony or to be directly occupied..." Yang Ming said.

"So what are you planning to do???" Wei Qingqing didn't care whether the spaceship could be started or not; what she cared about was the fate of Earth. After all, she was a native Earthling.

"I plan to make Earth my private base first. That way, even if Earth is discovered, no aliens will dare to invade. We need some time to buffer and develop..." Yang Ming chuckled and said.

"Private base???" Wei Qingqing raised an eyebrow.

"That's right. Generally speaking, large landowners apply to have their home planet designated as a private base to avoid being invaded by aliens, and then use their private base as a foundation to develop agricultural planets..." Yang Ming said.

"An agricultural planet???" Wei Qingqing raised an eyebrow again. She had just figured out what a 'private base' was, and now an 'agricultural planet' had appeared. She felt like her brain couldn't keep up.

"Yes, the big landowners all have their own private agricultural planets. I'm only now beginning to understand why we're called big landowners. Think about it, in the old society, landlords owned vast tracts of private land, and they measured it in acres. But we big landowners, we measure our private land in planets. This amazing way of calculating is too modest to call us big landowners; we should call us super big landowners..." Yang Ming exclaimed.

"Husband, I'm so proud of you..." Wei Qingqing's eyes sparkled.

"You're too kind. I'm proud of you too. You actually managed to snag a rich husband like me..." Yang Ming smiled smugly and kissed Wei Qingqing on the cheek.

"You're so annoying..." Wei Qingqing playfully punched Yang Ming, but hugged him even tighter.

"I...I...I knew it...I knew you guys weren't simple, but I never expected..." Aunt Liu listened from the side and now roughly understood what was going on. At this moment, she was filled with mixed feelings. Her tongue, which was originally as sharp as a knife, was now stiff and tied in knots.

"What didn't you expect? Although I don't need to worry about anything now, you still can't reveal my secrets, otherwise, you'll be punished according to family rules..." Yang Ming said, pinching Liu Sao's smooth cheek.

"Family rules??? What family rules???" Wei Qingqing asked in surprise.

"Family discipline, of course, means spanking..." Yang Ming chuckled. "The enforcer is our lady of the house, Ms. Wei Qingqing..."

"What do you mean? So, this family rule was specifically set up for me??? I object, I strongly object..." Aunt Liu immediately understood the crux of the matter and couldn't help but protest with unusual dissatisfaction.

"Objection overruled..." Brothers united are invincible; in fact, a united couple is just as sharp. The couple directly rejected Liu's objections.

"You, you're bullying me..." Aunt Liu pouted, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Cry, cry, it won't help even if you cry..." Wei Qingqing ignored Liu Sao's tears. Knowing Liu Sao as she did, she knew that Liu Sao's tears were not to be trusted. She remembered that a few days ago, Liu Sao had used tears to deceive the cunning Sun Fangfang.

"Fine, you win, I accept it..." Seeing that tears were ineffective, Aunt Liu glared fiercely at the grinning couple, swallowing her anger. "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and get Little White Dragon out of your broken treasure..."

"Don't rush this. When I release Xiaobai, I need to do genetic verification with it first. Let me ask Yaya about the genetic verification method first..." Yang Ming said.

"Genetic certification, what is that???" Wei Qingqing asked curiously.

"After the genetic verification, I will be able to understand what Xiaobai is thinking..." Yang Ming said.

"You mean, you can know what Xiaobai is thinking???" Wei Qingqing's eyes widened in disbelief. No matter what, Xiaobai is still a beast. To be able to know the thoughts of a wild animal... that's much harder than learning English.

"That's right. After the genetic verification, I will not only be able to know its thoughts, but I can also communicate with it. Hehe, I have to keep it under control so that it doesn't run around..." Yang Ming laughed.

"Then, can we also get our genes certified with it?" Wei Qingqing's eyes were full of longing.

"No problem..." Yang Ming nodded without hesitation. There was no limit to the number of genetic certifications. "You two step back. I'll release it in a bit. To prevent it from escaping, I'll hold it down immediately. Don't get too close, so it doesn't hurt you."

"Okay..." The two women quickly agreed, holding hands and taking ten steps back. They were both pregnant and wouldn't put themselves in danger just to see a dragon. They knew what was important and what wasn't.

Seeing that the two women had retreated to a safe distance, Yang Ming learned the method of genetic certification from Ya Ya and immediately took the little white dragon out of the farm space.

In an instant, a small, five-clawed, silver-white dragon appeared majestically. Upon its appearance, the little white dragon was stunned for a while, seemingly unable to adapt to the sudden change in environment. Yang Ming, however, did not remain idle. He suddenly stretched out his large hand, grabbed the little white dragon's two horns, and pressed its head to the ground.

"Moo..." A loud moo, like that of a cow, came from the little white dragon's throat. Then the little white dragon began to struggle violently. Its body twisted wildly, and its claws scratched everywhere. However, Yang Ming held its head down, making it unable to see the enemy's position at all. So, after all that struggling, it was all in vain. Yang Ming was not hurt at all.

"Slow down, slow down..." Yang Ming held Xiaobai's horns with one hand, while the other hand slowly stroked down her back, gently smoothing her body.

"Moo..." Xiao Bai was completely subdued by Yang Ming, but still struggled weakly, letting out a low growl, and its beautiful big eyes flashed with a fierce light.

"What's the use of yelling??? Your helpless cries will only excite me more..." Yang Ming felt that at this moment, he had been possessed by a bully.

"That's really shameless..." The two women not far away naturally heard Yang Ming's words and couldn't help but secretly purse their lips at the same time.

Without saying a word, Yang Ming quickly coiled Xiao Bai into a ball, then used one hand to control it while using the other to scratch his fingertip with his nail. Following Ya Ya's instructions, he completed the genetic verification with Xiao Bai.

Almost instantly, Yang Ming heard a series of sounds in his mind. The voice was a very pleasant female voice, but it possessed an innate power of awe, like the innate majesty of a king who subdues all beasts.

"Hey, Little White???" Fortunately, Yang Ming was quite determined, and Little White was only a juvenile. So, Yang Ming only stared blankly for a while before he came to his senses. He then called out twice in his mind, but these two calls were like stones sinking into the sea, and he did not receive any response.

"Phew, that was too hasty. Let's try the method Ya Ya taught us..." Yang Ming tried to communicate with Xiao Bai using the method Ya Ya taught him, and he succeeded very easily.

Little White looked at him with a puzzled expression. Clearly, it was full of doubt about this human who could talk to it. It mooed twice more, trying to express its meaning.

"Finished???" Seeing Yang Ming stop and stare blankly at Xiao Bai, Wei Qingqing secretly moved closer to Yang Ming and whispered.

"Hmm..." Yang Ming nodded.

"What did it say???" Aunt Liu also ran to Yang Ming's side.

"It asked me where I was, who I was, and why I was bullying her..." Yang Ming translated Xiao Bai's words. "It also said that as long as I let it go, it would repay me by catching three mice for me to eat every day..." By the end, he was already speechless.

"You seemed to have been frightened just now..." Aunt Liu said.

"No..." Yang Ming shook his head and said, "I was just startled by a voice that suddenly appeared in my mind..."

"Then, when will we get genetic certification with it?" Wei Qingqing asked expectantly.

"I'll ask it for you..." Yang Ming said, quickly communicating with Xiaobai.

"I just told her that this guy is very willing to communicate with you... This lecherous dragon is very cunning. Qingqing, Aunt Liu, I suggest you don't do the gene verification with it. Be careful it doesn't take advantage of you..." Yang Ming tapped Xiaobai's forehead with his finger in dissatisfaction.

"Moo moo moo..." Little White barked twice in dissatisfaction, its gaze towards Yang Ming filled with hostility and disdain, as if to say: You're just a womanizer...

"Hehe, you're still not convinced??? Fine, fine, you're a girl..." Yang Ming felt the little white dragon's protest and couldn't help but laugh.

"I've never seen such an ugly woman..." Yang Ming muttered under his breath.

With Yang Ming's help, Wei Qingqing and Aunt Liu took turns undergoing genetic testing with Xiaobai, and the whole process went exceptionally smoothly.

"Honey, let it go. She just told me she won't leave here. There's so much food here, she doesn't plan to leave in her life..." Wei Qingqing said with a smile.

"Okay..." Yang Ming responded and released Xiao Bai as instructed. As soon as it gained its freedom, the little guy stretched out its limbs and happily circled around Wei Qingqing and Aunt Liu, making a series of cheerful noises in its throat, just like the excitement and joy of suddenly reuniting with an old friend it hadn't seen for many years. Then, the little guy jumped directly into the water and swam happily, bobbing up and down in the water.

"What exactly happened??? What did she just say to you?" Yang Ming looked at Wei Qingqing, feeling quite annoyed. He was the first to do genetic verification with Xiaobai, but this girl didn't listen to him.

"He didn't say anything, just that you're not a good person..." Wei Qingqing chuckled.

"Really???" Yang Ming touched his nose. This was the first time he had been given a "not a good person" card. He felt a little depressed, but also a little excited.

"Of course, our Little White will protect your safety. After all, you were the one who led her into our world. She plans to call you Dad from now on, but she's too shy to tell you..." Wei Qingqing said.
