"Huh???" Zhuo Mengfei was taken aback. She was quite convinced by the evaluation made by this "Brother Wang". Although this "Brother Wang" was a driver, he also acted as a bodyguard. He was a retired special forces soldier.

Zhuo Mengfei gave Jixiang a slightly awkward smile, then turned back to act like a good girl and stopped talking.

In Jixiang's eyes, Zhuo Mengfei was just a little girl, so she naturally wouldn't bother with her. As far as Zhuo Mengfei was concerned, nothing was worth her attention as long as she didn't attack her master.

"This child, is it Bao'er???" Wang Huifang, who had been silent until now, looked Bao'er over and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course..." Wang Yufang nodded. "Bao'er was kidnapped by bad guys just now, but Yang Ge's dogs chased after her and rescued her. Now, Sister Jixiang is here to help her..." As she spoke, she gave Jixiang a meaningful look.

"Bao'er has been kidnapped???" Wang Huifang exclaimed in shock, but hesitated. To be honest, she wasn't very familiar with Bao'er. When they took the photos, her attention was focused on Yang Ming and Wei Qingqing, or rather, on their Hanfu. She hadn't really paid much attention to this little girl who was like a burden, and she had never even seen or heard of Jixiang. Since they weren't familiar with each other, it was hard to say anything.

Jixiang glanced at Wang Huifang, slowly closed her eyes, and hugged Xiaobao'er tightly. Don't be fooled by the fact that Wang Huifang is Wang Zhengzhi's daughter; she won't truly trust her. As for the others, if she doesn't even trust Wang Huifang, whose identity is confirmed, she'll trust even less of the others...

"Yes..." Wang Yufang looked at her sister, then at Jixiang, and nodded.

"I even fought that kidnapper! And let me tell you, that kidnapper was a real expert. If it weren't for Zhuo Mengfei helping me out, I really wouldn't have been able to handle him by myself..." Li Xuefei chattered on and on.

"How shameless are you??? You're the one who helps me out, okay???" Zhuo Mengfei immediately became indignant, turning her head to glare at Li Xuefei.

"Tch, don't you even think about it? You just kicked that guy once because you were cunning, right? I punched him twice, breaking his ribs..." Li Xuefei pouted and said.

"That's because I kicked him first, rendering him unable to fight, which is why you got such a great deal..." Zhuo Mengfei said.

"You're talking nonsense..."

Amidst the two girls' argument, the car drove remarkably smoothly toward Zhengjia Village...

"This..." Xu Haixia stared at the TV, watching the figure descend from the sky and finally get into the Audi with a little girl in his arms. The shock in her heart still couldn't be calmed. It can be said that fantasy movies are not uncommon in today's society, and there are many stunning scenes created by computer special effects. But if this figure who descended from the sky was cooking for her and serving her comfortably just a few hours ago, then it was a little hard to imagine.

"Jixiang's kung fu is extremely powerful..." Yang Ming explained softly.

"She jumped down from the sky..." Xu Haixia blinked, describing her auspicious entrance to Yang Ming.

"That's normal, didn't you see her clothes???" Yang Ming pointed at the woman in white on the TV, "Her wide robes can keep out the cold wind, and during the descent, it's like she's using a parachute..."

"Uh..." Xu Haixia was speechless. She felt that in Yang Ming's eyes, there was nothing that would surprise him.

"When will they get home?" Sun Haichao asked.

"Around 8 o'clock..." Yang Ming thought for a moment and said.

"Hmm..." Sun Haichao nodded. "This little treasure is your goddaughter???"

"Hmm..." Yang Ming nodded.

"No wonder..." Sun Haichao fell silent. He had sensed from the beginning that Yang Ming's expression was somewhat abnormal and that he had lost his composure several times. Now that he thought about it, the crux of the matter must be here. In any case, no one would be in a good mood if their daughter was kidnapped. The fact that Yang Ming was able to remain calm and not give them a hard time was already quite remarkable.

The pitch-black sky gradually revealed a hint of blue; dawn was approaching...

With the sound of an engine, a black Audi smoothly stopped in front of Yang Ming's house and then gradually turned off.

"They've arrived. Let's go outside. I'll take you to another planet..." Yang Ming jumped off the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), turned off the TV, and walked outside.

Sun Haichao, Feng Lin, and Xu Haixia also quickly got off the kang (a heated brick bed) and followed Yang Ming out.

"Master, the young lady has been brought back..." Yang Ming had just opened the door when he saw Jixiang carrying Xiaobao'er as she walked in and said respectfully to him.

Wang Huifang and the others followed them into the courtyard.

"Hmm..." Yang Ming nodded, taking Xiao Bao'er from him. "Well done..."

"Master, it seems that the young lady has been poisoned..." Jixiang whispered.

"I know..." Yang Ming nodded slightly. "Jixiang, why don't you go and greet the guests for me..."

"Yes..." Jixiang quickly replied.

"I'm sorry, I have some important matters to attend to and cannot entertain you. My apologies..." Yang Ming smiled apologetically at Wang Huifang and the others.

"Brother Yang, you go ahead and do your work, no need to entertain us..." Wang Yufang quickly said.

"Hmm..." Yang Ming smiled and nodded, picked up the little baby, and quickly left. Sun Haichao, Feng Lin, and Xu Haixia exchanged glances and hurriedly followed.

"Five of you..." Ji Xiang said with a humble smile, "Please come inside and have a seat..."

"Um..." Wang Yufang hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth and asked, "You just said Bao'er was poisoned, what exactly happened?"

"The young lady has been poisoned by a toxin; she will be affected if she comes into contact with water..." Jixiang said.

"Hmm..." The three girls exchanged glances, finally understanding. So that was the kidnapper's intention when he crushed the water bottle in the waiting hall. Thinking about it, the three girls couldn't help but feel a little scared. If the spotted dogs hadn't rushed over in time, Xiao Bao would have been in real trouble...

Yang Ming, carrying Xiao Bao'er, went directly into the back garden and entered Weijia Star through the World Tree. Sun Haichao, Feng Lin, and Xu Haixia also entered Weijia Star with Yang Ming.

"Huh??? Our in-laws are here???" Zhao Fen was strolling around with her grandson in her arms. She had been considering whether to find a house to rest in when she happened to see a portal of light appear at the World Tree. Then Yang Ming appeared, followed by her two in-laws and a young woman. She quickly and happily came to greet them.

"Oh my... I've missed you so much..." When Feng Lin saw Zhao Fen, her eyes lit up, and she rushed over to greet her. She immediately took her grandson into her arms, kissing and teasing him, making the little guy giggle.

The initial shock of arriving in a foreign land vanished completely in the joy of seeing my grandson.

"Uh..." Zhao Fen paused, about to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Sun Haichao came up to him.

"Oh dear..." Sun Haichao stepped forward, his face beaming with smiles that revealed his crow's feet. "Hello, mother-in-law..."

"Ah..." Zhao Fen glanced at her grandson and reluctantly replied, "Alright, alright, you too..."

"Oh dear, we were so worried yesterday, we couldn't find you anywhere..." Sun Haichao said exaggeratedly.

"Ah..." Zhao Fen nodded vaguely, her eyes constantly glancing at her grandson being held by Feng Lin. "We came yesterday, but we forgot to tell you before we left..."

"Sigh..." Sun Haichao sighed, "We were so anxious back then, we almost called the police..."

"Hahahaha..." Zhao Fen laughed, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and was about to take her grandson, but Sun Haichao moved his body and blocked her.

"My dear in-laws, where are Zhang Yangfangfang? Where did they go?" Sun Haichao chuckled and scratched his head as he spoke.

"Oh..." Zhao Fen said anxiously, "They've gone to find a planet, why don't you go too???"

"Oh??? They went to find a planet??? What does that mean???" Sun Haichao asked, blinking in surprise.

"Well, Yang Ming has a lot of planets. He wants us to help him manage them, to be planet administrators, so..." Zhao Fen said, but her hands reached out to her grandson.

"Oh dear..." Sun Haichao exclaimed in surprise, "So that's how it is..."

"What are you yelling about..." Feng Lin rolled her eyes, kicked Sun Haichao, hugged her grandson tightly, and chased after Yang Ming, saying, "Yang Ming, how about we become planet administrators for you too..." Sun Haichao, however, held Zhao Fen back and chatted with her casually. Although Zhao Fen was anxious, she couldn't embarrass her father-in-law, so she could only keep agreeing.

"Okay..." Yang Ming forced a smile. "Godfather and Godmother, take a few people and go choose two planets..." He then briefly explained the rules and repeatedly reminded them to bring a few cyborgs. Without waiting for Feng Lin to understand, he picked up Xiao Bao'er and went into a large house.

"Hey, two of you, come with us to pick a planet..." Feng Lin called out to the cyborg girls, then picked up her grandson and ran toward the World Tree.

"Haha, let's go! Goodbye, mother-in-law..." Sun Haichao smiled, turned around and ran after Feng Lin.

At Yang Shijiu's signal, the two newly trained cyborg girls followed Sun Haichao and Feng Lin.

A door closed, and four adults and a baby disappeared.

"You..." Zhao Fen was so angry she was stunned. She wanted to chase after them, but she didn't know which planet they had gone to. She could only stomp her foot in frustration and put on a long face.

The moment Xu Haixia entered Weijia Star, she was completely stunned. She stood there dumbfounded. Putting aside the surprise of the sudden rise in temperature when she entered Yang Ming's backyard, the time difference between the two worlds alone made her realize that this was definitely not Earth. The shock she felt was beyond words, because the shock was too great, and her mind was completely blank.

Watching the crimson sun set behind the western mountains, it took Xu Haixia a long time to finally come back to her senses, but her heart was still restless.

"Huh???" Xu Haixia looked around. "Where's Yang Ming???"

"Yang Ming???" Zhao Fen now dislikes Yang Ming very much. If he hadn't brought Sun Haichao and his wife along, would her grandson have been taken away?

"Yes, where is Yang Ming? Where is he?" Xu Haixia asked.

"Him..." Zhao Fen pursed her lips, "He's probably playing with his two wives right now..."

"Oh..." Xu Haixia nodded, but then her eyes widened. "What did you say??? Two wives???"

"Of course!" Zhao Fen pouted again, "Those two wives get along so well, like real sisters..."

"Uh..." Xu Haixia twitched her lips, unsure of what to say. In the past, if she couldn't stand Yang Ming's private life, she would have spoken frankly and acted like a mother to him, giving him a good talking-to and guiding him onto the right path. But now, putting aside the awkwardness of her relationship with Zhao Dongge, like a broken mirror that's not quite whole yet, Yang Ming is so capable, and he's not even on Earth right now. Using marriage law or morality to restrain him seems inappropriate.

"It seems that the laws here were made by Yang Ming, right?" Xu Haixia blinked and looked at Zhao Fen.

"Huh???" Zhao Fen was taken aback at first, then thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but gasp. A desire to control power, like weeds after a spring rain, was growing wildly in her heart. "It seems that's really the case. Although there's no legislation yet, once it is, it will definitely be drafted by Yang Ming..."

"Well..." Xu Haixia smiled awkwardly, "If that's the case, how many wives someone marries is their own business..."

"Yes, yes, that's right..." Zhao Fen's mind was no longer on this; all her thoughts were on managing the planet in the future.

Yang Ming carried Xiao Bao'er to a spacious room. It was a Ming Dynasty-style room, but it was quite simple, except for a magnificent canopy bed in the corner.

After putting Xiaobao on the bed and pulling a blanket over him, Yang Ming started talking to Yaya.

"Ya Ya, can you remove this toxin?" Yang Ming didn't know much about toxins; he only knew that arsenic was arsenic trioxide.

"This toxin isn't very stubborn and can be easily cleared..." Ya Ya had already examined Xiao Bao'er's body and had a clear understanding of the toxins in her body.

"Let's begin now..." Yang Ming said calmly.

"Just one Creation Fruit is enough to completely remove the toxins from her body..." Ya Ya said, handing a Creation Fruit to Yang Ming.

"A fruit of creation???" Yang Ming held a small red apricot, about the size of a jujube, in his hand, somewhat incredulous.

"Of course, the Creation Fruit contains the essence of the Tree of Life and the World Tree. The Tree of Life itself has a very powerful purification function, so eating a Creation Fruit can basically remove all the toxins in the world... Of course, this detoxification function is insignificant compared to the function of increasing lifespan..." Ya Ya said.

"So, according to you, the fruit of the Tree of Life also has detoxification properties???" Yang Ming asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course, the fruit of the World Tree is the best antidote, but it's not very effective in increasing lifespan..." Ya Ya said.

"Hmm..." Yang Ming nodded, seemingly understanding, and looked at the Creation Fruit in his hand. "Why does this Creation Fruit look so much like an apricot???"

"It's not that it looks like an apricot, but rather that it is a fruit that grows on an apricot tree..." Ya Ya said matter-of-factly, "Although the apricot tree has become the Tree of Creation, its essence has not changed, so the fruit it bears is naturally an apricot..."

"This..." Yang Ming frowned, "I don't quite understand..." Without further ado, he broke the apricot open, removed the pit, and stuffed the flesh into Xiao Bao'er's mouth.

When the apricot flesh met saliva, it instantly melted into a sweet juice, which slid down Xiao Bao'er's throat and into his stomach.

"What is it that you don't understand, sir?" Ya Ya asked.

"What is the World Tree? What is the Tree of Life? What is the Tree of Creation?" Yang Ming was somewhat confused about the definitions of these three trees.

"It's very simple. Any tree could be the Tree of the World, the Tree of Life, or even the Tree of Creation..." Ya Ya chuckled.

"Put it in simpler terms..." Yang Ming frowned.

"To put it simply, to give you an example, the World Tree, the Tree of Life, and the Tree of Creation exist in two different parallel spaces from ordinary trees. They will not intersect..." Ya Ya said.

"You mean that whether it's the World Tree, the Tree of Life, or the Tree of Creation, they're like parasites, living inside the bodies of ordinary trees. Although they might have some influence on each other, they don't affect the essence of the tree..." Yang Ming said.

"That's the idea..." Ya Ya nodded. "It's like two independent sovereign states; they can establish diplomatic relations and trade with each other, but they can't interfere in each other's internal affairs..."

"I see..." Yang Ming nodded.

"Mmm..." Xiao Bao'er made a sound of pain, which made Yang Ming's heart clench. He immediately bent down and carefully observed Xiao Bao'er's condition.

"Daddy..." Xiao Bao opened her eyes and immediately saw Yang Ming in front of her. Her little mouth twitched and tears welled up in her eyes.

"What's wrong??? Why are you crying???" Yang Ming smiled and touched Xiao Bao'er's little face.

"Daddy, I had a really scary dream..." Little Bao'er choked up as she sat up, threw herself into Yang Ming's arms, and rubbed her little head against him as she spoke.

"Dreams are all fake, don't take them seriously..." Yang Ming patted the little guy's back and said softly.

"Hmm..." Xiao Bao nodded, looking up at Yang Ming with her little face, "Daddy, I'm hungry..."

"Are you hungry??? What do you want to eat???" Yang Ming affectionately tapped the tip of Xiao Bao'er's nose.

"I want to eat an apple..." Ya Ya said.

"Okay, Dad will give you an apple to eat..." Yang Ming put one hand behind his back, and when he came out again, there was a big red copper apple.

"Yay..." Xiao Bao cheered, "Daddy is the best..." He took it, took a bite, and found that the apple tasted very good, a little crunchy and a little mealy, which would satisfy both types of people.

"Hehe..." Yang Ming chuckled, pinching her little nose. "You play here for now, I'll bring your mother over in a bit..."
