"I'll go with you..." Aunt Liu said.

"No..." Yang Ming shook his head slightly, gently kissed her lips, "You wait here, I'll bring Bao'er over soon..."

"Hmm..." Aunt Liu obediently gave up and didn't insist any further.

"Be careful..." Wei Qingqing sat up abruptly, a hint of worry in her eyes. "I have a feeling something bad is going to happen..."

It turns out that Wei Qingqing also felt that palpitation.

"Don't worry..." Yang Ming smiled confidently, "There are many people in this world who can threaten me, but they definitely don't include Earthlings..." With that, he jumped off the bed, picked up his clothes from the floor, and put them on.

"You two, just get some sleep here..." Yang Ming smiled gently at the two women, then turned and walked out.

"I'm not feeling well. I'm afraid his return this time won't be so simple..." Aunt Liu frowned, her brows furrowed with worry.

"There's nothing we can do. We're pregnant, we can't help much, and if something happens, we'll only cause him more trouble..." Wei Qingqing's expression wasn't good either, but she leaned back on the bed, closed her eyes, and said, "The only thing we can do now is wait..."

"Hmm..." Aunt Liu nodded, lay down on the bed, and slowly closed her eyes.

The moment Yang Ming stepped out of the courtyard gate, he was immediately shocked by the scene before him. This area, which was originally a small field full of wildflowers, had now been transformed into a residential area with a classical style.

"Master..." The cyborg girls all bowed respectfully upon seeing Yang Ming.

"Hmm..." Yang Ming nodded subconsciously, encouragingly saying, "Well done, keep it up..."

Encouraged by Yang Ming, the cyborg girls became even more motivated.

Following a bluestone path, Yang Ming walked out of the residential area and came to the World Tree. A portal of light appeared, and Yang Ming took a step forward and crashed into it.

While it was daytime on Weijia Star, it was nighttime on Earth. After returning to Earth, Yang Ming's eyes adjusted to the sudden change in light and he was able to see the person in front of him clearly.

Standing before Yang Ming were four people, Yang Yi and her three sisters, who had always been here, faithfully guarding the World Tree.

"Master..." The four women bowed and greeted Yang Ming as he appeared.

"You all continue to guard this place. Take down any creature that dares to approach..." Yang Ming ordered calmly.

"Yes..." the four women replied in unison.

"Hmm..." Yang Ming nodded and strode outside, instructing Ya Ya to use the surveillance system to find Xiao Bao'er's whereabouts.

"Master, Bao'er isn't in the village. The last place she was seen was on the bridge leading to Aunt's house..." Ya Ya's voice was very grave. "When Bao'er was crossing the bridge, she was kidnapped by two men in black..."

"As expected..." Yang Ming's face suddenly contorted with rage. "Do you know where Bao'er has been taken???" He quickened his pace even further.

"Bao'er has been taken to the city train station and is currently in the waiting room. Her train leaves at 4:30 tomorrow morning, so there are still five and a half hours until departure..." Ya Ya said, her tone slightly hesitant. "However, it seems like someone has tampered with Bao'er's clothes..."

"What???" Yang Ming paused slightly, a chilling aura emanating from him—a prelude to his rage. "Explain in detail..."

"Bao'er has been implanted with a virus. This virus is in a dormant state. As long as it comes into contact with water, it will be activated and then quickly take effect. If these viruses are not all killed within five seconds, they will spread throughout the body, causing the nervous system to collapse..." Ya Ya said.

"That's ruthless..." Yang Ming almost ground his teeth to powder. He stopped, took a few deep breaths to calm his rage, and asked coldly, "Do you know where these viruses came from???"

When faced with a situation, anger is useless; on the contrary, being influenced by anger can prevent you from making the right decisions.

"The culmination of decades of research by a secret unit..." Ya Ya said calmly.

"You don't know???" Yang Ming frowned slightly.

"I don't know, because the users don't know where the virus came from..." Ya Ya said.

"I need a thousand dogs..." Yang Ming's tone was unusually calm, but Ya Ya could hear the storm brewing beneath that calm.

"No problem, the Dalmatian dogs in the space are the largest group, not even counting a thousand..." Ya Ya said.

"I need them to have a certain level of intelligence and be able to understand some simple commands..." Yang Ming said.

"Through generations of breeding, these spotted dogs have evolved a certain level of intelligence and can understand simple commands without any problem..." Ya Ya said.

"Okay..." Yang Ming nodded.

Suddenly, a group of spotted dogs, about the size of calves, appeared in front of them, crowding the already cramped space until there wasn't a single gap. Moreover, the eyes of these spotted dogs were indeed different from those of ordinary domestic dogs; they gleamed with intelligence. Clearly, even if they weren't highly intelligent, they were at least as intelligent as seven or eight-year-old children.

"You can understand me???" Yang Ming's tone was icy.

"Woof woof woof..." The spotted dogs lay on all fours on the ground, whimpering and nodding.

"Now, you are going to rescue a girl. The only requirement is that the girl's safety is the top priority, and during this process, she must not come into contact with water..." Yang Ming's voice remained cold.

"Woof woof woof woof..." the spotted dogs whimpered, nodding repeatedly.

"Go..." Yang Ming stood with his hands behind his back and slowly closed his eyes.

The spotted dogs were at a loss. "You want us to rescue a girl? At the very least, you should let us know her scent!"

When the dogs were at a loss, Ya Ya spoke up: "Master, don't waste any more time. Quickly get one of Bao'er's clothes and let them smell Bao'er's scent. Every minute we spend is precious. If they get on the train, it will be troublesome to rescue Bao'er..."

"Uh..." Yang Ming closed his eyes with his hands behind his back, brewing a ruthless emotion, thinking of some cruel ways to retaliate against those who dared to kidnap Bao'er, when Ya Ya reminded him that these spotted dogs did not recognize Bao'er.

"Let's go..." Although Yang Ming felt embarrassed, he didn't hesitate and quickly walked out of the back garden, went into the house, took out a piece of clothing that Xiao Bao had left there, and let the dogs sniff it one by one.

The dogs sensed the scent of their target, snorted, and scattered quickly, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Follow them..." Yang Ming sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), turned on the television, and immediately a series of white shadows as fast as lightning appeared on the screen.

"Such speed..." Yang Ming was shocked by the speed of the spotted dog.

"Of course, these dogs have transcended the category of livestock and can now be considered as laborers. Speed ​​is one of their strengths..." Ya Ya appeared in a corner of the television, pointing her finger at the spotted dogs running rapidly on the screen, and said.

knock knock...

A knock sounded at the door, and a voice came from outside: "Who's home???"

Yang Ming could tell that the voice belonged to Sun Fangfang's father, Sun Haichao. He quickly put on his shoes and got off the kang (a heated brick bed), saying, "Oh, it's Godfather. I'm home. Come in..."

squeak...

The sound of the door opening was heard. Yang Ming had just lifted the curtain of the east room when he saw Sun Haichao walk in, followed by Sun Fangfang's mother, Feng Lin.

"Godfather and Godmother..." Yang Ming smiled and ushered them into the house. "Please come in and sit down. I'll go wash some fruit for you..."

"No need, no need..." Feng Lin quickly pulled Yang Ming back and said with a smile.

Although Feng Lin was smiling, Yang Ming noticed a hint of displeasure in her expression. Looking at Sun Haichao, he saw the same displeasure in his eyes. He immediately realized that the couple must have come to Zhengjia Village, but couldn't find anyone, especially their grandson, and were getting anxious.

"Hehe, are you worried because you can't find anyone, godfather and godmother?" Yang Ming chuckled, went to the west room to get some fruit, scooped up a basin of water, and started washing it with a splash.

"Mingming, if you put it that way, I really want to ask, where did everyone go??? How come we can't find a single person???" Feng Lin bent down to help Yang Ming wash the fruit, asking with a hint of complaint.

"Hehe..." Yang Ming's smile remained unchanged. "We've all gone to a rather mysterious place. I'll pick someone up later, and we'll go together. Fangfang and the others are there..."

Upon hearing Yang Ming's words, the couple immediately relaxed.

"What on earth happened???" Sun Haichao leaned against the doorframe of the east room, arms crossed. "When we came over at noon, we couldn't find him anywhere. Your Uncle Liu looked around and then went back home..."

"Uncle Liu went back by himself???" Yang Ming raised an eyebrow, feeling that Liu's father's handling of the situation was really not very good. These two people were unfamiliar with the place, how could he have left them there?

"He also wanted us to go back, but we wanted to wait a little longer..." Sun Haichao explained, seemingly understanding Yang Ming's meaning.

"Oh..." Yang Ming finally understood.

"Don't worry about your parents' house..." Feng Lin rubbed an apple. "Your 'cousin' is looking after their house. Old Zheng and his wife are being taken care of by her, so you should be relieved..." When she mentioned the 'cousin,' Feng Lin winked at Yang Ming. Clearly, she was aware of the trick involved.

"Hehe, of course I'm relieved..." Yang Ming nodded with a smile.

He carried the washed fruit into the house. The TV was still on, but Ya Ya was nowhere to be seen. The scene on the screen had also changed, from a jungle to a small county town. From the neon-lit signs, Yang Ming knew that he could reach the city by passing through this small county town.

"These bastards are really fast..." Yang Ming muttered to himself as he bit into a large peach.

"Of course they're fast. They just pass right through, almost in a straight line. Plus, there are very few residential areas along their route, so they don't need to worry about speed. Once they get to the city, their speed will slow down..." Ya Ya said.

"Mingming, what are you watching???" Feng Lin ate grapes, looking at the screen with some confusion. She only saw flashes of white light.

"You still don't understand??? Isn't this a meteor shower???" Sun Haichao said, munching on a pear.

"What meteor shower???" Feng Lin rolled her eyes at Sun Haichao. "Look closely, is this a meteor shower??? That red one that just passed by had words on it. Do you have words in your sky???"

"Huh???" Sun Haichao exclaimed in surprise, jumping off the kang (a heated brick bed) and rushing to the television. "Could it be a UFO???"

"Maybe..." Feng Lin didn't laugh at her husband's wild idea, but nodded with unusual seriousness. The white light was moving too fast. Just based on that speed, it didn't seem like a creature from Earth.

"This isn't a UFO, it's a dog..." Yang Ming said with a laugh from the side.

"Pfft...cough cough cough...cough cough cough..." Sun Haichao spat out the pear he had just put in his mouth with a "pfft," and then coughed violently. He stared at Yang Ming in surprise, "What did you say??? This is a dog???" The disbelief in his tone was obvious even to a fool.

"What kind of dog can run that fast???" Feng Lin also didn't believe it.

"Isn't that a Dalmatian dog???" Yang Ming pointed at the white light. "Look closely, aren't there some black lines on that white light???"

"hiss……"

The couple strained their eyes to look at the white light. After staring for a while, they could actually see some black lines, and they couldn't help but gasp.

Just then, a white light suddenly stopped, revealing its enormous form. Although the form was somewhat blurry in the darkness, it was absolutely clear that it was a dog.

"It really is..." Sun Haichao was completely shocked. "They ran... way too fast!"

"Look at it, it's so big, like a little calf..." Feng Lin used the tree behind the Dalmatian as a reference point and was surprised to find that the Dalmatian was really too big.

The spotted dog that had stopped sniffed the air with its nose tilted back, then ran off again, quickly turning into a streak of white light.

"These dogs are indeed a bit too big. They are currently carrying out the task I assigned them..." Yang Ming thought of Bao'er who had been kidnapped. Although he still had a smile on his lips, his expression and tone were somewhat cold.

Sun Haichao and Feng Lin, who were able to give birth to Sun Fangfang, were shrewd people themselves. They easily noticed the change in Yang Ming's tone, exchanged a glance, and said nothing more. They simply sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and watched the television screen.

Time passed slowly, but the white light on the screen did not slow down at all, as if it had infinite energy.

"Godfather and Godmother, if you're tired, take a nap on the kang (heated brick bed)..." Yang Ming suggested, seeing that Sun Haichao and Feng Lin didn't look too well.

"Don't worry about us..." Sun Haichao waved his hand.

"We're all family here, so just go ahead and do what you need..." Feng Lin said.

The images on the television screen gradually changed, and the white light quickly transitioned from a pitch-black environment to a dim, yellowish one.

"Finally here..." Yang Ming's heart clenched. After thinking for a moment, he still felt uneasy, so he quickly walked into the courtyard and called out, "May you have good fortune and happiness..."

whoosh...

Two figures quickly ran out of Sun Fangfang's house and arrived in front of Yang Ming in the blink of an eye.

Yang Ming waved his hand, and two pure white celestial horses appeared before him. He said calmly, "You two ride these celestial horses to the city train station and bring the young lady back. Try your best not to reveal the secret of the celestial horses..."

"Yes..." The two women quickly jumped onto the back of the pegasus, and then the pegasus flapped its wings twice, took off, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.

"What flew away???" Sun Haichao stumbled out of the house, his mouth agape, staring in the direction where the Pegasus had disappeared. But the sky was pitch black, with nothing but stars in sight. A hint of disappointment crept into his eyes.

"It looks like two white shadows..." Feng Lin also ran out of the house, gazing up at the starry sky, trying to find the white shadows, but all she could see were stars. "Am I seeing things???"

"Are you seeing things...?" Yang Ming raised his eyebrows and smiled calmly. "Godfather and Godmother, we'll talk about this later. You should go inside first, don't get cold..."

Sun Haichao and Feng Lin exchanged a glance, and were about to go inside...

"Yang Ming..." A woman's voice came from over, and a woman wearing a winter coat ran over from Zhang Yang's house.

"Sister-in-law???" Yang Ming was slightly taken aback, a half-smile playing on his lips. "When did you arrive, sister-in-law???"

"I arrived this morning..." The woman ran up to Yang Ming, already panting. "Phew... What was that flying just now??? Where are the auspicious symbols??? How come they disappeared after they got here???"

"Hehe, sister-in-law, you're still as serious as ever..." Yang Ming smiled slightly. "Come inside, I'll tell you all at once..."

"Am I being serious??? Two perfectly healthy young women, just suddenly gone, and I can't even ask them anything???" The woman's eyebrows shot up as she glared angrily at Yang Ming.

"Don't be so stubborn, I didn't say I wouldn't tell you..." Yang Ming rolled his eyes.

"Yang Ming, it seems that in your eyes, I, Xu Haixia, am just a rigid person, like some menopausal woman in the Political Education Department, isn't that right???" The woman glared at Yang Ming. "Stop giving me that nonsense. Let me put it this way, from the moment I came to your house today, I've noticed that things here are very strange. If you want to consider me your sister-in-law, you'd better honestly explain everything to me..."

"Hehe..." Yang Ming chuckled wryly, "Sister-in-law, let's go inside and talk, it's terribly cold outside..."

"..." Xu Haixia glared at Yang Ming for a long time, then her gaze softened slightly. She nodded and said, "Alright, let's talk inside..."
