(A loud plea for monthly votes, brothers and sisters! I'm late again, I'm so sorry! Today was such a bad day, I started feeling nauseous and vomited every ten minutes, I practically threw up my stomach, it was awful... Anyway, monthly votes, does anyone have any??? Please vote for me, I'm here, thank you all...)

"Hmph, it's good that you can recognize your mistake..." Since Ya Ya has admitted her mistake, Wei Qingqing doesn't care whether it's sincere or not. "You'd better learn to be more careful in the future, and not be so careless and clumsy like this time..."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Ya Ya nodded repeatedly, looking annoyed.

"It's already past 5 pm, and it's getting dark. Yaya, if you don't have anything else to do, go ahead and do your work..." Yang Ming suddenly said.

"How could nothing be wrong? Master, have you forgotten? The World Tree, you haven't sent it to Elder Anna yet. She's been urging you for so many times..." Ya Ya said.

"The World Tree??? You didn't send it to her???" Yang Ming suddenly remembered that he had indeed entrusted Elder Anna to plant the World Tree at the Alliance headquarters.

"Master hasn't given the order, how could Ya Ya dare to make the decision on her own???" Ya Ya pouted, "Master's World Tree has three kinds..."

Yang Ming's World Tree is divided into three types: an adult World Tree, an ancient World Tree, and a Creation Tree that possesses the characteristics of both a World Tree and a Tree of Life.

"A mature World Tree will do, just send over any one..." Yang Ming said helplessly.

"Yes..." Ya Ya quickly replied, "Ya Ya will teleport there now, Master, see you later..." With that, she smiled playfully and waved goodbye to Yang Ming.

The laptop screen went black, and the room went dark instantly. Only then did a series of noises come from outside, as if a fight had broken out outside.

"What's going on???" Aunt Liu was startled and quickly left Yang Ming's embrace. She absolutely could not let anyone see such an intimate scene between her and Yang Ming.

"It looks like they've started fighting..." Wei Qingqing also looked confused.

As Wei Qingqing spoke, she gently opened the window a crack, and a gust of cool wind blew in, making her shiver. Peeking out, she was shocked to find that her house had been surrounded by a large group of people. Outside the courtyard were villagers led by Zheng Dongfang and Zhang Jianhui, who were extremely agitated and shouting wildly, as if they wanted to rush into the courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, everything was auspicious and prosperous. The two women stood at the gate, truly a formidable barrier that prevented anyone from entering.

Looking at the two old men lying silently at the feet of the two women, it was clear that the two sides had already gotten into a fight.

"What's going on???" Wei Qingqing asked loudly.

"Sister-in-law, are you alright?" Zheng Dongfang shouted loudly.

"It's nothing... What are you guys doing???" Wei Qingqing said.

"We heard you crying inside, so we wanted to go in and see what was going on, but those two women wouldn't let us in no matter what, and they even knocked Old Master Du and Old Master Tian unconscious..." Zheng Dongfang shouted.

"We told you, the master is in a critical situation and doesn't have time to see you. These two old guys dared to force their way in, so they deserved to be beaten..." Jixiang said stubbornly.

"Good luck and may they come in..." Wei Qingqing said.

"Yes..." Upon hearing Wei Qingqing's instructions, the two women quickly responded and stepped aside to make way.

Zheng Dongfang and Zhang Jianhui exchanged a glance, still somewhat uneasy. During the day, they had heard Wei Qingqing and Aunt Liu crying from Yang Ming's house, which terrified them. They wanted to rush in to see what was going on, but Ji Xiang and Ruyi stopped them. The two brothers had also considered forcing their way in, but the two seemingly weak women handled them like chickens, toying with them completely. Helpless, Zheng Dongfang rushed back to Sun Fangfang's house and invited the two martial arts masters, the old lecher and the old swindler, over. Who knew... the two old men were no better than the two women, and were knocked unconscious by them in no time.

So the two brothers came up with the idea of ​​using sheer numbers, gathering all the villagers together, hoping to use their numerical advantage to break through the gate guarded by the two women—Yang Ming's house… Just as the situation was about to escalate, Wei Qingqing opened the window…

Despite Wei Qingqing's words, the two brothers didn't fully believe them. They thought that Yang Ming and his wife must have been kidnapped by criminals, and that Wei Qingqing was only saying those things under duress.

Zhang Jianhui leaned close to Zheng Dongfang's ear and whispered, "Go inside. If anything happens, just shout. All of us brothers will rush in to save you..."

"Okay..." Zheng Dongfang replied and strode inside.

Pushing open the middle door of Yang Ming's house, Zheng Dongfang quickly glanced around, not finding anyone hiding behind the door. He swiftly reached out and turned on the light in the yard, then, taking advantage of the light, walked into the main room and turned on the light there as well. He wanted the people outside to see everything inside, so that if anything happened inside, they would know immediately.

"Alright, come in. What are you doing like a thief?" Yang Ming's voice came from inside the house, catching Zheng Dongfang, who was standing with his back to the east door, off guard. Then he felt the lights in the house turn on and the curtain was lifted by a woman.

"Hehe, Aunt Liu???" Zheng Dongfang recognized the woman and couldn't help but smile awkwardly. He peeked into the room and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there were only three people inside. He rushed into the room, opened the two large cabinet lids of the wardrobe, and carefully looked through them.

"What are you doing?" Yang Ming asked.

"We've been rummaging through everything, all our money is in the bank account..." Wei Qingqing said with a smile, hugging Yang Ming.

"You guys really didn't have someone kidnap you???" Zheng Dongfang breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Who told you we were kidnapped???" Yang Ming said, lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), amused.

"You didn't have anyone kidnap you??? Then why are you two crying???" Zheng Dongfang glared at Wei Qingqing and Liu Sao and said.

"Um, why are we crying???" Aunt Liu blushed, her heart pounding with anxiety.

"Hehehe..." Zheng Dong's expression immediately turned lewd. He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, it was just your third brother and me outside at the time. There were absolutely no outsiders. Hehehehehehehe..."

"Third Brother???" Aunt Liu's face immediately turned red. Zheng Dongfang's words were directed at her, which meant that when she was crying, her words had been overheard.

"Hehe, since it was a false alarm, I'll have everyone outside leave. You can have fun inside..." Zheng Dongfang chuckled lewdly, swaying as he lifted the curtain and went out, casually taking a bag of fresh milk from the kang (heated brick bed).

"He took the milk away..." Wei Qingqing's mouth dropped open in shock.

"Oh my god... Second brother, you can't drink that milk..." Yang Ming shouted hurriedly.

"Get lost! I've been worried about you guys for ages, and you're so stingy even with a bag of milk? Just drink..." Zheng Dongfang said, tearing open the corner of the bag and gulping down the whole bag of milk.

The saying goes, only what you eat truly belongs to you; this has been proven countless times during my four years of university life…

goodong...

There was a sound of something heavy hitting the ground, followed by Zhang Jianhui's frantic shout: "Second brother..."

"Everyone, follow me and rush in to save them..." Zheng Dabao's voice rang out.

"My God..." Yang Ming rubbed his forehead. "Never mind them, let's do our thing. Honey, give me a shoulder massage, they're really sore..."

A large group of people poured in from outside, filling the space of the east room. Everyone looked around, but they didn't see any of the villains or kidnappers they had imagined.

"Where's Xiaofen? Where are the kidnappers?" Zheng Dabao asked Liu Sao with a puzzled look.

The villagers all stared at Liu Sao with strange expressions. Liu Sao's appearance was simply too casual, especially her pale little feet… How could she not even wear socks in someone else's house?

"There were no kidnappers. Here's what happened today: Yang Ming tried a new type of nutritional supplement, but the effect was too strong and he passed out. That's why he can't move now... We thought something had happened to Yang Ming, but everyone misunderstood. Actually, nothing's wrong..." Aunt Liu explained.

"Then, what's going on with Dongfang???" Zheng Dabao blinked and asked.

"Him??? He...he just drank the rest of the new nutritional supplement, and as a result, he passed out. We told him not to drink it..." Aunt Liu said helplessly.

"Uncle Da Bao, it's nothing, just a false alarm. I'm so sorry to have made everyone come all this way so late at night..." Yang Ming said with a smile, lying in Wei Qingqing's arms.

"Hey, it's nothing. We live in the same village, and our place is rather desolate, so we have to help each other out..." Zheng Dabao said with a smile.

"Neighbors should help each other out..."

"Just let me know if you need anything, don't hesitate..."

The villagers started chattering amongst themselves, then slowly dispersed. It was getting dark, and they needed to go home to cook; otherwise, the tourists would get upset…

"Good luck and happiness, you two carry the person inside..." Yang Ming said loudly.

"Yes..." The two women quickly responded, then each carried an old man into the house, put them on the kang (a heated brick bed), and then went to lift Zheng Dongfang.

Zheng Dongfang's body had begun to change; his body temperature was alarmingly high, but the two women showed no discomfort whatsoever.

"Um, there really weren't any kidnappers???" Zhang Jianhui walked in, scratching his head, looking embarrassed. Just now, he had led a group of people to search the west room.

"Who told you there were kidnappers???" Yang Ming glared at him and said irritably.

"Hehe..." Zhang Jianhui chuckled, pointing at Jixiang Ruyi, "What's going on with those two???"

"Those two are the nannies I hired..." Yang Ming glanced at Zhang Jianhui, "Don't you dare try anything with them..."

"How could that be??? Even if I'm starving, I won't steal food from your bowl..." Zhang Jianhui chuckled, his eyes darting furtively at Yang Ming, Wei Qingqing, and Aunt Liu.

"What are you looking at??? You have shifty eyes..." Aunt Liu was a little embarrassed and annoyed by his gaze, so she glared at Zhang Jianhui and said.

"Hehe...hehe..." Zhang Jianhui chuckled awkwardly, scratching his head. "What happened to the second brother??? Is he alright???"

"He overdosed on the medicine, but he should be fine. At most, he'll feel like me, with aches and pains all over his body, and he'll have to lie on the kang (heated brick bed) for a couple of days..." Yang Ming said.

"Oh...it's good that you're alright..." Zhang Jianhui breathed a sigh of relief.

"I should tell my second sister-in-law about this..." Yang Ming thought for a moment and said.

"I'll go call her..." Aunt Liu quickly put on her shoes, got off the kang (a heated brick bed), and ran off in a flash.

Zhang Jianhui's lewd and ambiguous gaze burned her face like a scorching hot soldering iron, making her extremely embarrassed.

"You're such a sleazy person, you've embarrassed our Aunt Liu..." Wei Qingqing glared at Zhang Jianhui and said with dissatisfaction.

"Um..." Zhang Jianhui scratched his head awkwardly, his short hair like a brush, and a cloud of dandruff flew up.

"By the way, did no one from the Deng family come?" Yang Ming still remembered Zheng Dongfang's incredible feat of smashing his father-in-law with a brick.

"No, I contacted the county government. The Public Security Bureau did receive a report, but it was suppressed by higher-ups..." Zhang Jianhui said.

"Hmm..." Yang Ming nodded without saying anything more.

"I have a feeling that something's up in your little village. Is there some kind of treasure in your village?" Zhang Jianhui suddenly said.

"Who knows???" Yang Ming smiled faintly, "Maybe there really is some treasure..."

"Hmm...maybe..." Zhang Jianhui thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, and the room fell into silence for a moment.

"Good luck and good fortune, wake up these two old men..." Wei Qingqing said to Good luck and good fortune.

"Yes..." The two women quickly greeted them, extending their right hands and pressing their thumbs against the philtrum of the two old men with a slight force.

"Ugh..." The two old men groaned at the same time and slowly opened their eyes. The moment they opened their eyes, they saw the two women who had captured them. They couldn't help but shudder and were about to attack the two women when they saw Yang Ming lying happily in Wei Qingqing's arms. They knew that everything that had happened today was probably a misunderstanding and that there was basically no danger now. Their minds relaxed.

"What exactly happened???" The old lecher shook his head, propped himself up, and said.

"It's nothing, I just took the wrong medicine today, and that's how this little accident happened..." Yang Ming said with a faint smile.

"Did you take the wrong medicine???" The old lecher couldn't help but gloat when he saw Yang Ming's half-dead state. "You little rascal, you're usually so strong, but you've managed to get yourself into this state. You won't die, will you???"

"Don't worry, as long as you, with one half your body buried, are alive, I will definitely not die..." Yang Ming glared at the old lecher and said irritably.

"Oh ho, you dare to glare at me???" The old lecher cracked his knuckles and stared at Yang Ming with a sinister grin.

"Good fortune, everything goes well..." Yang Ming grinned.

Upon hearing Yang Ming's call, the two women immediately jumped onto the kang (a heated brick bed), glaring menacingly at the old lecher.

"Uh..." Seeing the two girls' ready-to-attack stance, the old lecher immediately wilted. He was the most qualified to comment on Ji Xiang Ru Yi's strength. In his eyes, these two girls were definitely freaks. Their strength was even slightly better than that of the Tai Chi Grandmaster who had just ascended to the throne of the world's number one expert. He even suspected that if the Tai Chi Grandmaster were to fight the two girls, the Tai Chi Grandmaster's performance might not be much better than theirs.

"Alright, those days when we could hit and yell at each other whenever we wanted with those two girls around are long gone..." the old swindler sighed, propping himself up to sit up. "If I'd known, I should have given him a good beating this morning. That was our last chance in this life. What a pity..."

"Hey, you two, can you please stop being so violent? We're all civilized people, let's not fight like this..." Yang Ming smiled slightly, "Actually, Ji Xiang Ru Yi's forte isn't fighting. Today, I'll show you what these two girls are really capable of..."

"Oh???" The old lecher and the old swindler exchanged a surprised glance, their eyes filled with disbelief. If the two girls had focused on martial arts since childhood and had excellent aptitude, it would be understandable that they could surpass them at such a young age. But judging from Yang Ming's words, these two girls had other skills that were even more refined than martial arts, which was hard to believe.

Distraction is a major taboo for martial arts practitioners.

"Good luck and happiness, go cook..." Yang Ming instructed.

"Yes, sir..." The two women quickly responded, jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), changed into aprons, and began cooking.

"Hehe, Jixiang's best skill is cooking, while Ruyi is a bit lacking. I'm not bragging, but Jixiang's cooking skills are beyond your imagination. Tonight, you can all benefit from his cooking..." Yang Ming laughed.

"Hehe...hehe...hehehe..." The two old men chuckled dryly, their faces somewhat grim. Two such capable women, actually two chefs? They even felt that Yang Ming was humiliating them.

However, they also knew Yang Ming's temperament. Yang Ming knew how to keep his distance and never went too far with anyone or anything. It seemed that these two women were probably really chefs.

"You two really shouldn't disbelieve me, you'll see when the time comes..." Yang Ming said with a slight smile.
