"I'm not talking to you anymore, you bad guy, Ya Ya will never talk to you again..." Ya Ya glared at Yang Ming, stomped her foot in embarrassment and anger, and disappeared instantly.

"Hmph..." Yang Ming smiled smugly, "Dare to fight me??? This little girl is still too green..." With that, his figure disappeared from the space.

Opening his eyes, he saw Wei Qingqing still asleep in his arms, her even breathing slow and gentle, her sweet breath warming his chest and making his soul tremble.

"Take a nap..." Yang Ming slowly moved forward, pulled a pillow off the pile of blankets, placed it behind him, and then slowly lay down, turning to his side and pulling Wei Qingqing into his arms.

The room was quiet and peaceful. The sunlight streaming in through the window, which appeared somewhat murky due to its poor transparency, actually had a remarkable effect, revealing countless tiny dust particles that danced freely in the air under the murky sunlight.

As the sun gradually slanted westward, the sunlight turned dim and yellowish, and the area that shone into the room drastically shrank to a tiny strip the size of a window frame.

"Mmm..." Wei Qingqing frowned slightly, let out a soft moan, and slowly opened her eyes.

"Awake???" Yang Ming also opened his eyes. He hadn't slept well all afternoon, and he woke up at the slightest noise.

"Hmm..." Instead of a hangover headache, Wei Qingqing felt refreshed. Reluctant to leave the warm embrace, she gently rubbed her pretty face against Yang Ming's chest. "It feels quite comfortable..."

"Of course, my embrace is spacious and sturdy, so it's naturally comfortable to sleep in..." Yang Ming said with a smug smile.

"Ugh..." Wei Qingqing blushed. "I was just saying the wine was nice to drink..." Just look at Yang Ming's smug look, she had to give him a good thrashing.

"No way??? Am I just imagining things???" Yang Ming's face fell at Wei Qingqing's words.

"Silly girl..." Wei Qingqing rolled her eyes at Yang Ming and nudged his chin with her little head.

"Hehehe..." Yang Ming laughed as the smooth strands of hair felt comfortable against his chin, and he pulled Wei Qingqing closer.

The two fell silent; at this moment, their hearts intertwined, needing no words.

"Meow..." The black cat meowed softly and darted onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

"It's Meow Meow, I haven't seen it in so long..." Wei Qingqing lifted her head from Yang Ming's arms with a look of surprise, turned around and looked at the big black cat with a lazy look.

"Damn cat..." Yang Ming gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly. The atmosphere was so warm just now, and this damn cat ruined it.

"Master..." Upon hearing Wei Qingqing's voice, Jixiang gently lifted the curtain and gracefully entered. "Mr. Zheng Dongfang has been waiting for you outside for a long time..."

"Huh???" Yang Ming propped himself up, frowning. "He's here??? He should be having tea with Fu Cangsheng right now, why is he back???"

"I heard that food is needed..." Jixiang replied respectfully.

"Let him in..." Yang Ming said.

"Yes..." Jixiang quickly replied, then turned and walked out.

"Fourth brother, you're putting on airs! You won't even let me in the door..." Before long, Zheng Dongfang walked in with a dark face and angrily.

"We were sleeping just now..." Yang Ming sat up, leaning his shoulder against the pile of blankets.

"This was Jixiang's idea on his own. Why don't you go and give Jixiang a beating..." Wei Qingqing said with a smile.

"A good man doesn't fight with a woman. How could I possibly hit her?" Zheng Dongfang blushed and said guiltily.

"What exactly happened??? What's the rush???" Yang Ming asked.

"It's a matter of life and death, hundreds of thousands of people are affected every minute..." Zheng Dongfang rolled his eyes and said irritably.

"What do you mean??? Hundreds of thousands of people die in a minute???" Wei Qingqing was shocked.

"Don't listen to his nonsense..." Yang Ming put his arm around Wei Qingqing's waist, rolled his eyes at Zheng Dongfang, and said, "How much do you actually need???"

"I want as many as you have..." Zheng Dongfang demanded an exorbitant amount.

"Aren't you afraid of stuffing yourself to death..." Yang Ming's eyes widened. "Do you know how much grain I have stored up??? You dare to say you want as much as you have? If I took out all the grain, this whole earth wouldn't be enough to hold it all..."

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. Every minute you waste could mean someone starving to death..." Zheng Dongfang waved his hand. "My time is precious; it's bought with human lives..."

"Alright, alright..." Yang Ming stretched out a hand, revealing a dark ring in his palm. "This is called a storage ring. You'll need it when you become an interstellar merchant. Use it for now. There are ten billion catties of rice inside..."

"Wow???" Zheng Dongfang's eyes lit up, and he quickly grabbed the ring. "This is a storage ring??? Should I bind it to you with my blood???"

"Of course I want it..." Yang Ming said with a smile.

"Sigh... How come you only have such good things in your hands???" Zheng Dongfang bit his finger without hesitation, dripped the blood onto the ring, and then put it on the ring finger of his right hand.

"These are storage devices invented by some technological civilizations. They use space folding technology, but the space inside is a vacuum, so they cannot store living things..." Yang Ming said.

"Fourth brother, you're so good to me. It's a pity that God gave me a son, otherwise I would definitely marry you..." Zheng Dongfang was moved to tears and threw a few flirty glances at Yang Ming.

"Get out..." Yang Ming felt a bit nauseous, gritting his teeth. "There's another form inside the ring, with code names for civilized planets. Just place your hand on the World Tree and think of the code name, and you can enter those civilized planets to conduct interstellar trade..."

"Fourth brother, I really want to kiss you right now..." Zheng Dongfang's tears streamed down his face. "Unfortunately, I have a wife. If I want to kiss you, my wife won't let me touch her for three days..."

"Jixiang, see the guest out..." Yang Ming said with a dark face, waving his hand.

"Yes..." Jixiang responded, grabbed Zheng Dongfang by the back of the neck, dragged him to the backyard, and then threw him out of the backyard with a violent jerk.

"Ouch..." Zheng Dongfang landed with a thud and immediately cried out in pain. Fortunately, he was now very strong. If he were still the small man he used to be, his whole body would have been smashed to pieces by this fall.

"How disgusting you are..." Jixiang pouted, feeling relieved.

Just as Zheng Dongfang was being dragged out, Yang Ming's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Wang Zhengzhi calling.

"Uncle Wang, are you looking for Erfang?" Yang Ming said with a smile after answering the call.

"Erfang is with you???" Wang Zhengzhi's tone was noticeably more relaxed, but still tinged with anger. "That brat, she actually sneaked out of the house in the middle of the night..."

"Hehe, don't worry, Erfang is with me..." Yang Ming said.

"I'm relieved to have him with you. Is he with you? If so, let her answer the phone..." Wang Zhengzhi said.

"He's not here. If you have anything to say, I'll pass it on for you..." Yang Ming said.

"Then please tell her to go home quickly, her mother is worried sick..." Wang Zhengzhi said.

"Okay..." Yang Ming nodded. "I'll definitely tell Erfang. Or, when she gets back later, I'll have her call you."

"Xiao Yang, thank you so much. That brat is such a worry..." Wang Zhengzhi said.

"Don't worry about me..." Yang Ming said with a smile.

"How about... I go over there??? I can find a teacher to lead my class first..." A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Lu Huifen, but her voice was soft, and it was clear that she wasn't speaking to Yang Ming.

"You want to go there??? Fine, that'll save her from having to be sent back by Yang Ming when she's just a girl..." Wang Zhengzhi said.

"Sure, let Auntie do it..." Yang Ming said with a smile.

"Haha, then I'm sorry to bother you..." Wang Zhengzhi laughed.

"Hehe, no problem, no problem. My Qingqing likes lively atmospheres..." Yang Ming said with a smile.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.

"When did I ever like crowds??? We've only had a quiet afternoon..." Wei Qingqing pouted and grumbled as soon as she hung up the phone.

"Then what am I supposed to say???" Yang Ming said with a bitter expression. "I can't exactly say, 'Don't come, my Qingqing finds it troublesome...'"

"Why do you always drag me into this??? Why don't you just say you find it troublesome???" Wei Qingqing said.

"How could I possibly say that??? If I, a grown man, said that, what would people think of me??? Wouldn't they say I'm petty???" Yang Ming said.

"I'm warning you, when Aunt Lu arrives, you'd better send her to find Erfang..." Wei Qingqing pouted and said.

"No problem..." Yang Ming patted his chest to assure him, then his tone softened, "What if Aunt Lu also went to another planet, and Uncle Wang couldn't contact her and her daughter? Would he come looking for us too?"

"This..." Wei Qingqing was taken aback, "...it really is possible..."

"Never mind, as long as he comes, we'll take him to another planet. At that time, both of them will probably have to retire from the school and become administrators on another planet..." Yang Ming said.

"Hmph..." Wei Qingqing's eyes darted around, and she smiled mischievously. "Tell me, should we give each of them a planet, or should we have them manage one planet together as a family of three?"

"Let the three of them manage a planet together..." Yang Ming thought for a moment, "After all, they can't compare to Zhang Yang and his family..."

"Hehe..." Wei Qingqing laughed mischievously, "If you ask me, I'd give them a family of three, one planet each. Think about it... Hmm, never mind..."

Wei Qingqing stopped abruptly after saying only half of what she was saying.

"Why did you stop talking?" Yang Ming pinched Wei Qingqing's little nose and asked curiously.

"I'm not going to say anything more, she's such a kind person..." Wei Qingqing said with a smile as she pulled Yang Ming's hand away.

"Oh???" Yang Ming became even more curious after hearing Wei Qingqing's words. "Hurry up and tell the truth, what kind of wicked plan are you plotting???"

"Where did you get that???" Wei Qingqing pouted and said coquettishly, refusing to admit it no matter what.

"You're not going to talk, are you???" Yang Ming glared at her, reaching his hands under Wei Qingqing's armpits and tickling her. "I'll teach you to not talk, I'll teach you to not talk..."

"Hehehehe..." Wei Qingqing laughed loudly, twisting her body and pleading, "I'll talk, I'll talk..."

"Hurry up and say it..." Yang Ming leaned down and put his ear close to Wei Qingqing's lips. As soon as Wei Qingqing's lips moved, a look of surprise appeared on Yang Ming's face.

"If that's really the case, how interesting would that be??? Like having an affair???" Wei Qingqing said, then chuckled mischievously.

"My God, I never expected... I never expected you to be so lecherous..." Yang Ming looked Wei Qingqing up and down, as if he had only just realized her true nature today.

"You're so annoying..." Wei Qingqing pouted, clenched her little fist, and punched Yang Ming's chest with all her might. However, when this powerful fist landed on Yang Ming's chest, it was soft and powerless.

"Hehe..." Yang Ming chuckled, "Whether other couples need to cross the World Tree when they're being intimate, let's not discuss that for now, but Zhang Yang and Fangfang..."

"Hehehehe..." Wei Qingqing squinted her big eyes and chuckled mischievously.

"Why are you laughing so mischievously? It's giving me goosebumps..." The couple were hiding under the covers, laughing wickedly, when Aunt Liu's voice came from outside.

"Oh my god..." Wei Qingqing groaned in pain, "Why did that super-duper third wheel from the Hengxing star system follow us here???"

"Godmother..." The curtain was lifted, and Xiao Bao'er peeked out, "What's a super-duper third wheel???"

"Uh..." Wei Qingqing was taken aback, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. "Bao'er is back too???" In her heart, she harbored deep resentment towards Aunt Liu for bringing the little girl back without saying a word. She almost said something she shouldn't have just now.

"Hmm..." Xiao Bao nodded, climbed onto the kang (heated brick bed), and snuggled into Wei Qingqing's arms. "Teacher Wang is back today, and we'll have class tomorrow..."

"Hmph..." Aunt Liu walked in from outside, waving her hands. She wiped her hands on the towel hanging on the rope. "This little girl even brought food for her teacher and classmates... My goodness, dozens of kilograms of roasted meat! My hands are covered in oil..." As she spoke, she glared at her precious daughter who was hiding in Wei Qingqing's arms.

"Hehe..." Xiao Bao'er giggled, "You were the one who told people to be united with their classmates and respect their teachers, but now you've changed your mind..."

"Do you believe I'll slap you??? How dare you criticize your mother???" Aunt Liu glared and said.

"Hehe, Mom isn't old at all..." Little Bao'er chuckled as he flattered his mother.

"You little devil..." Aunt Liu laughed, climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), and pinched the little girl's nose. "You're so clever..."

"Hehe..." Little Bao'er giggled and pulled her mother's hand away. "What Bao'er said is the truth. Mommy is the prettiest..."

"What about godmother???" Wei Qingqing wanted to tease the little girl, so she pinched the little one's nose.

"Godmother is also a mother, including..." Xiao Bao'er said.

"You little brat, you're quite the clever one..." Aunt Liu said with a laugh.

"Hehehe..." Little Bao'er giggled and started playing with his two mothers.

"Jixiang..." Yang Ming watched the mother and her two children playing, a sense of satisfaction welling up inside him, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. "Reheat the dishes I made at noon, it's time for dinner..."

"Yes..." Jixiang's voice rang out from outside.

"There's still wine, there's still wine..." As soon as dinner was mentioned, Wei Qingqing remembered Yang Ming's promise at noon that she could drink fruit wine that evening, and she couldn't help but shout excitedly.

"Really???" Aunt Liu asked, puzzled. "What kind of wine could make you this excited???"

"Good wine, absolutely good wine..." Wei Qingqing said, crawling out of bed, jumping off the kang (a heated brick bed), picking up the wine jar on the bedside table, gently shaking it, feeling a trembling movement inside, and couldn't help but laugh, tearing off the seal.

As soon as the seal was broken, a rich aroma of wine immediately filled the air.

"Sniff..." Aunt Liu sniffed, lured by the aroma of the wine. "It's so fragrant and mellow, it must be at least a hundred years old..."

"Your nose is really sharp..." Wei Qingqing's face showed a hint of surprise. "Yang Ming said that this wine is at least three hundred years old..."

"Where did you get this??? Three-hundred-year-old wine is priceless, it's available everywhere..." Aunt Liu's face showed a hint of surprise.

"Hehe, Yang Mingtao got it..." Wei Qingqing winked at Aunt Liu.

"Oh..." Aunt Liu immediately understood and couldn't help but look at the ring on Yang Ming's hand.

"Want to try some?" Wei Qingqing blinked and said with a smile.

"You can't taste it. It's wine that's over 300 years old. It has a very high alcohol content. One sip can get a water buffalo drunk..." Aunt Liu said.

"Ahem..." Yang Ming coughed lightly, "Sister Liu is absolutely right. I just dipped a little bit of it in my chopsticks at noon and got someone drunk..."

"Yang Ming, what you said is not right. I never said Qingqing was a water buffalo. Your words have caused ambiguity, so don't blame me..." Aunt Liu understood his meaning and cooperated closely with him.

"You're so annoying..." Wei Qingqing blushed and glared at Yang Ming. "I'm not drunk at all. I'm just jet-lagged and feeling sleepy..."

"Yes, yes, yes... I haven't adjusted to the time difference yet..." Yang Ming laughed.

"Hehehe..." Aunt Liu laughed too. "I really didn't expect you to become such a little drunkard. You know, excessive drinking is bad for a child's development. You can't let it happen again..." As she spoke, she got off the kang (a heated brick bed), took the wine jar that Wei Qingqing was holding, resealed it, and put it on the bedside table.

"Mommy, good children shouldn't drink alcohol..." Xiao Bao'er said in a clear voice.
