"A winged horse???" The woman in black was utterly horrified. She never imagined she would see a creature from mythology in the real world!

"Haha, hahaha..." The fat old man, or rather, Asahi Ichiro, suddenly burst into a nervous laugh, so excited that he was almost incoherent. "I never expected, I never expected, Mr. Yang is really capable, to be able to find such a mount..." His eyes were full of greed, as if he wanted to swallow Yang Ming and the Pegasus he was riding whole.

"What??? Mr. Asahi is praising me like this, is he trying to kidnap me???" Yang Ming jumped off the Pegasus, and a pack of spotted dogs immediately gathered around him, protecting him.

"Hehehe..." Asahi Ichiro chuckled, pulling down his mask. "Mr. Yang, you shouldn't have gotten off your horse, do you know that??? Getting off your horse sealed your fate..."

"Hehe, handsome young man, you're really unwise..." The woman in black jumped down from the tree at this moment and chuckled.

"Really??? I don't think so myself..." Yang Ming smiled slightly.

"I admit you have a lot of good stuff, but I don't think you have the ability to escape from me..." Asahi Ichiro said.

"Escape from you???" Yang Ming feigned surprise. "Why would I escape??? Are you all running a fever??? You're the ones who can't escape today..."

"Huh???" Upon hearing Yang Ming's words, the two men simultaneously tensed up, cautiously scanning their surroundings. They knew that Yang Ming was surrounded by numerous National Security personnel, especially the two martial arts giants, the Xingyi Master and the Bagua Master. They also knew that their conspiracy against these two giants had failed...

"Don't be nervous, those two old geezers didn't come. This time, it's just me... Hehe, it seems you've never considered my fighting strength..." Yang Ming said with a slight smile.

"What, young man, what else do you have to rely on?" The woman in black raised an eyebrow and laughed.

"Why don't you take off your mask? Don't you feel awkward covering your face with a tattered cloth?" Yang Ming laughed.

"Hehe, handsome young man, you're interested in me???" the woman in black said with a charming smile.

"I'm not interested in you, but Gu Pan might be..." Yang Ming's smile turned cold.

"Oh, young man, you can change your expression so easily, huh?" The woman in black smiled brightly. "You'd better show us what you're got, otherwise, Mr. Asahi might act rashly..."

"Miss Takako, we don't seem to know each other well..." The fat old man, Asahito Ichiro, glared at the woman in black and said angrily.

"Hehe, we're comrades now, aren't we?" the woman in black chuckled and said.

"Alright, I'll give you time to call out all your accomplices..." Yang Ming smiled slightly. "I hate trouble. When I encounter trouble, I prefer to resolve it once and for all..."

"You're quite arrogant. As far as I know, you yourself have never practiced martial arts. Your skills are barely enough to deal with two thugs. Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?" Asahito Ichiro said with a mocking smile.

"There's no other way..." Yang Ming ignored Asahi Ichiro's sarcasm, shaking his head with a helpless smile. "It seems I'll have to deal with them one by one..."

As Yang Ming spoke, a thermostat suddenly appeared in his hand.

"A stun gun??? You're not planning to use this against us, are you???" Asahi Ichiro looked at the thermostat in Yang Ming's hand, his mocking smile growing even stronger.

"Hehehe, handsome young man, you really know how to make people laugh..." The woman in black, Takako, laughed heartily.

Stun batons are basically ineffective against experts of their level. Of course, this doesn't mean they're immune to electricity, but rather that an ordinary person holding a stun baton simply can't touch them, so it's ineffective...

"Hehehe..." Yang Ming chuckled, gently adjusting the temperature controller to -100 degrees Celsius and setting the range to ten meters, perfectly separating the three women lying on the ground. He then pointed the controller's transmitter at the two women and said, "You can call it the Ice and Fire Magic Staff, because I am a magician..."

"A magician???" Asahi Ichiro chuckled, his ears twitching slightly, before turning serious. "Alright, our game is over, Mr. Yang Ming. Whether you like it or not, I will invite you to my country. Are you ready???"

"Hehehe, let your men out. You've been wasting your time talking to me for so long, aren't you just waiting for them??? I must say, Mr. Asahi is very steady in his actions, at least he never fights a battle he can't win..." Yang Ming casually glanced around and chuckled.

"Hahaha, even an eagle uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, let alone a smart man like Mr. Yang Ming???" Asahi Ichiro laughed and waved his hand. Eight figures wrapped in black clothes suddenly appeared. After appearing, these eight figures did not say a word and pounced on Yang Ming, intending to capture him alive.

"Foolish. Why do some people always think they're so clever, yet underestimate their enemies?" Yang Ming sighed softly, gently turning on the switch on the thermostat. Instantly, a fierce chill condensed in the air, a scorching cold that could feel like burning flesh seeping into everyone's bodies, into their muscles, into their bones, freezing their blood, freezing their marrow, and even freezing their minds...

"Why??? Why are some people so stupid??? Why do they have to court death???" Yang Ming sighed dramatically, shook his head slightly, and walked towards the three women lying on the ground.

By this time, the effects of the hallucinogenic drug had worn off, but the three women did not wake up. Instead, they lay on the cold ground and fell fast asleep. Clearly, the drug's effects had worn off, and the three women had instinctively entered a state of hibernation to recover their energy due to the large amount of energy they had consumed.

"How are their bodies?" Yang Ming asked Ya Ya.

"They just have some frostbite and scratches, nothing serious. They'll recover after a couple of days of rest. But they've exhausted themselves, so it might take quite a while for them to fully recover..." Ya Ya said after examining the three women.

"It's good that you're alright, we have plenty of nutritional supplements..." Yang Ming nodded, his gaze sweeping over the ten ice sculptures, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Yang Ming stored the ten ice sculptures into the farm space. As for the three women, he entrusted them to the spotted dogs to carry them back. The huge spotted dogs were like calves, and carrying one person was no problem at all.

Watching the group of spotted dogs lead the three women away, Yang Ming let out a sigh of relief, then turned and jumped onto the back of the Pegasus. The Pegasus flapped its wings and took off into the air, its massive figure disappearing into the night sky in the blink of an eye.

"Oh dear??? It seems this kid has quite a few secrets up his sleeve??? No rush, no rush, let's not go back yet..." Just as Yang Ming rode away on his celestial horse, there was a commotion in the forest. An old man with a white beard floated around in place, left a sentence, and then disappeared in an instant.

Yang Ming rode the celestial horse directly back to his backyard and landed on the open ground in front of the greenhouse.

After returning the horse to the farm space, Yang Ming didn't linger at all and headed straight for the Seven-Colored Bird Breeding Farm. From the entrance of the breeding farm, he entered the living room of the spaceship, and then his consciousness entered the farm space.

The flow of time in the farm space is different from that in the outside world. Therefore, when Yang Ming's consciousness entered the farm space, the ten ice sculptures that had just been put into the farm space had already thawed and turned into living people.

There are two ways to freeze someone to death: quick-freezing and slow-freezing. As the name suggests, quick-freezing is freezing very rapidly. If the freezing process is extremely fast, the cold air can even freeze a person's life force inside their body. As long as they are thawed, they can still be revived. Or rather, quick-freezing only freezes a person's mind, putting them into a state of suspended animation...

Slow freezing is the same as regular freezing. In this way, the cold slowly wears down the body's life energy until the body's vitality is completely depleted, and the person dies.

(Just a side note, I'm not a psychopathic killer...)

"Where am I???" Looking at the rare birds and beasts all over the place, the woman in black was undoubtedly the most terrified.

Women always lack a sense of security, especially in an unfamiliar environment.

"Inhale..." Asahi Ichiro took a long breath. "The environment here is excellent, with plenty of spiritual energy in the air, which is helpful for recovery and cultivation. In just a couple of breaths, my injuries have healed considerably..."

The eight men in black remained silent, surrounding Asahi Ichiro.

Strange wood?

No, the trees planted here are nothing special; in fact, they are quite common.

A magical herb?

No, the grass grown here is nothing special, it may be very valuable, but it is not unique to Scorpion Poop on Earth.

Rare bird?

No, the birds raised there can also be found on Earth, and some of them are even poultry raised on a large scale in farms.

A strange beast?

This strange beast is somewhat interesting. There are indeed some strange beasts being raised here. At the very least, you can see those winged horses with ribs growing out of their sides.

"Where is this place???" the woman in black asked Asahi Ichiro in a trembling voice.

Here, even if the two have conflicts with each other in the outside world, they have to put aside their prejudices.

"How would I know???" Asahi Ichiro said irritably.

"Then... what happened to us just now??? How come I felt dizzy and then found myself here after I woke up???" the woman in black said.

"I don't know... My experience is the same as yours..." Asahi Ichiro said to the woman in black with a very unfriendly tone.

"It's ice, I remember, we turned into ice..." At this moment, a clear child's voice rang out, and the smallest of the eight men in black spoke up.

"You transvestite, what do you remember???" Asahito Ichiro asked hastily when he heard that one of his subordinates remembered what had just happened.

He didn't respond kindly to the woman in black who kept asking him questions. It wasn't that he wasn't nervous or panicked, but rather that he didn't want to appear weak in front of her.

"I remember???" The childish voice that had just spoken immediately turned into a thoughtful voice, "I don't remember, I only remember that I felt like I was burned, and then I couldn't feel anything..."

"Didn't you just say it turned to ice? How come it got hot again?" Asahito Ichiro said.

"It did turn into ice, and it really did get burned..." The short man in black nodded seriously.

"Turn into ice??? Scalded it???" Asahito Ichiro muttered softly.

"Don't overthink it, you are all the master's prisoners. Just stand still and wait for the master's judgment..." Suddenly, a voice rang out in the sky and filled the entire space.

Now, Yang Ming's large landowner farm space wasn't very big to begin with, and it hadn't been upgraded or expanded recently. Yet, the creatures inside kept multiplying and the trees kept sprouting branches, making this already small space feel extremely crowded.

"Who??? Who is speaking???" The woman in black was startled, her voice trembling, her large eyes scanning her surroundings, trying to find the person who spoke.

Asahito Ichiro was also extremely flustered, but unlike the woman in black, he did not lose his composure. Instead, he raised his senses to their highest level, so that he could react immediately to any abnormality.

The eight men in black performed quite well compared to the woman in black and Asahi Ichiro. They were not surprised at all by the sudden voice; they only needed to follow their leader's orders.

"Don't be afraid, this is the master's farm space. This is the first time the master has brought humans into the farm space. I must say, you are lucky..." Ya Ya's voice rang out.

"What do you mean???" The woman in black's voice trembled. From Ya Ya's words, she easily discerned a fact: they were now under someone else's control.

Not only was the woman in black horrified, but Asahi Ichiro and the eight men in black who obeyed his every command were also greatly alarmed.

"The meaning is obvious. You have become livestock in the large landowner's farm space. You are honored..." Ya Ya wanted to say something more, but at this moment, Yang Ming's consciousness entered the space, and the little girl immediately shut up.

"Ya Ya, what did you just say???" Yang Ming's enormous face appeared in the space, like a god.

"No, Ya Ya didn't say anything, she just told them the rules..." Ya Ya shook her little head like a rattle drum, saying repeatedly.

"No need..." Yang Ming said calmly.

Yang Ming's words immediately filled the hearts of the ten people with hope. They did not want to be raised here like livestock. Although the air quality here was good, it could not compare to the vastness of the outside world.

"But, Master, every creature that enters here will be identified by the system as livestock and processed accordingly. Even your physical body will be no exception..." Ya Ya whispered a reminder.

"Handsome young man, as long as you let me out, I'm yours, really, I'm not lying..." Tears welled up in the woman's big eyes.

"You're very pretty..." Yang Ming's face revealed a mocking smile.

"You can inspect the goods first. I guarantee they are original and imported..." Asahi Ichiro said something that was hard to tell whether it was sarcastic or just an endorsement.

"Yes, yes... We are wandering ninjas, without a master. I can acknowledge you as my master and be loyal to you and your successors for generations, just as they were loyal to Lord Asahito..." the woman in black said urgently, pointing to Asahito Ichiro's eight followers.

So, these eight men in black were ninja subordinates trained by Asahi Ichiro.

"What's your name?" Yang Ming pondered for a while, thinking that he should also have his own subordinates. Of course, the best subordinates would be the loyal soldiers he trained himself. However, it would be immoral to harm his own compatriots. Now that someone was crying and shouting to pledge allegiance to him, it was a good start.

"My precious son..." the woman in black said.

"What's your surname?" Yang Ming asked again.

"I am a wandering ninja, without a surname..." the woman in black said.

"Ninjas usually take their master's surname. Whatever the master's surname is, that's what they'll take..." Asahito Ichiro said with a dejected look on his face.

At this point, the old man had come to terms with it. In the outside world, the two sides might have had disputes, but now things had come to this point, with their lives hanging by a thread. For the sake of their compatriots, he decided not to kick her while she was down, after all, the other party was still a young girl.

Let's hope at least one person survives...

"Pull down your mask..." Yang Ming said.

"Yes, yes, yes..." The woman in black nodded happily and ripped off her mask, revealing a delicate face.

She tilted her head back with all her might, like a dedicated salesperson enthusiastically recommending a product to a customer. The only difference was that the product was herself.

To be honest, Yang Ming was slightly stunned when he saw this face. If Wei Qingqing, Aunt Liu, and Sun Fangfang's looks could be rated out of 10, then this woman would definitely get 9.9. If Yang Ming hadn't been used to seeing stunning beauties, he might have been captivated by this woman.

"Not bad, still watchable..." Yang Ming nodded slightly and said calmly.

"Of course, she can't compare to the mistress..." the woman in black said with a fawning smile.

It is said that in many people's minds, a fawning expression is generally disgusting. However, if a beautiful woman fawns over you, the feeling will probably be different. Generally speaking, male creatures have relatively low or even no vigilance towards female creatures, which is why there is a saying in history that "beautiful women are a source of trouble".

Of course, escalating a family dispute to a political level is an overreaction by some people...
