(It's late today. The power has been out since around 5 a.m. until 8:40 p.m. For such a long time, I didn't know that power rationing could be done like this...)

"Hehe..." Wei Qingqing giggled, tilting her pretty face up to look at Yang Ming's cheek, "Really???"

"I swear by the lamplight..." Yang Ming smiled, extending a hand and pointing to the blazing flames on the hot air balloon floating in mid-air, "It's absolutely true..."

However, once he pointed, he couldn't pull his hand back. For some reason, the flames on the hot air balloon suddenly went out, and amidst gasps and screams, the hot air balloon slowly floated down.

"Hmph, this vow..." Wei Qingqing clicked her tongue in amazement as she watched the hot air balloon slowly descend. "Never make such a vow again. It's good that it's a hot air balloon today; if it were a hydrogen balloon..."

The flames of a hot air balloon go out, but the hot air inside doesn't cool down instantly. However, this is different for a hydrogen balloon; the consequences could be unpredictable.

"That's not what I meant..." Yang Ming said, a little embarrassed. "Look up at the sky as I'm pointing, those are stars..."

"Really???" Wei Qingqing followed his finger and saw a shooting star appear in the direction Yang Ming was pointing. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle. "Alright, I believe you. But you can't point randomly anymore, or you'll point all the stars out of the sky..."

"Oh my god, are you kidding me...?" Yang Ming's face darkened. He pointed at the hot air balloon, and the flame inside went out. He pointed at the stars in the sky, and a shooting star immediately appeared...

"Don't be angry..." Wei Qingqing's big eyes narrowed, filled with a smile. "I'm very satisfied that you can tell me. I'll take it as you being true to yourself..."

"Heaven and earth bear witness, I truly never imagined that even God would play a trick on me..." Yang Ming said with a bitter smile, pointing to the sea, "I swear once more, this time I swear to the sea that everything I said is true, otherwise, may a huge wave come and sweep me away..."

"Hehe..." Wei Qingqing giggled as she looked at Yang Ming's pained expression. "You mean this..." Before she could finish, a huge wave crashed over them...

"I believe it, I really believe it..." Wei Qingqing, looking like a drowned rat, said to Yang Ming, who was also soaked, with unusual seriousness.

"Oh God, send down a bolt of lightning and kill me..." Yang Ming cried out to the sky, attracting the attention of the people strolling around at night.

Click, click...

A bolt of lightning ripped through the night sky and struck straight down, hitting Yang Ming squarely on the forehead. Fortunately, Yang Ming's physical strength was now extraordinary, and he was also protected by the space of the large landowner's farm; otherwise, this strike would have turned him into a small piece of charcoal.

"Wife, I'm telling the truth..." Yang Ming was almost in tears...

"I know what you're saying is true, but..." Wei Qingqing was stunned.

"Don't you know what kind of person I am?" Yang Ming said.

"No, no..." Wei Qingqing swallowed hard. "Honey, tell me, let it rain heavily..."

"Huh???" Yang Ming was stunned, somewhat confused.

"Say it my way..." Wei Qingqing said.

"Oh..." Yang Ming nodded, pointing to the sky with one hand, "Let it rain heavily..."

"Huh???" Wei Qingqing looked up at the sky. At this moment, there was no sign of rain at all. The sky was still dotted with stars.

"Hey, I thought I'd run into Sun Wukong! And it's raining??? Hehe..." A voice came over, its tone full of disappointment and mockery.

"Was that a lightning strike just now??? These days, even bad guys aren't allowed to be struck by lightning. How bad does a person have to be for a lightning bolt to strike them right on the head on a sunny day..." another voice said.

"So what if someone gets struck by lightning??? They're so rotten they're oozing pus, even lightning can't kill them..." another voice rang out.

Yang Ming and Wei Qingqing turned around and saw that the area was already surrounded by people, all of whom had been attracted by the lightning bolt.

"Um..." Yang Ming had excellent eyesight and could see all the expressions on everyone's faces. He couldn't help but smile awkwardly. "Have fun, everyone. We're leaving now..." With that, he pulled Wei Qingqing and quickly slipped away.

Fortunately, it was nighttime, and no one could see their faces clearly; otherwise, the couple would have become the protagonists of a "lightning strike incident."

After being battered by waves and struck by lightning, the couple had no heart for playing anymore. They went straight home through a less crowded area.

They returned home disheveled, took a shower to wash off all the salt, and then sat on the sofa in the living room.

The two sat on the sofa, neither of them speaking, just sitting quietly. For a moment, the living room fell into an eerie silence.

"Husband..." Wei Qingqing looked at Yang Ming, her eyes filled with a peculiar meaning, a mixture of madness and anger. "Husband, I want you to swear one more time that everything you said is true..."

"I..." Yang Ming's face was pale. He stared at Wei Qingqing for a long time, then looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling and said, "Everything I said is true. If there's a single lie, may the chandelier fall down and hit me on the head..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the chandelier on the ceiling actually fell down and hit him squarely on the forehead. Luckily, Yang Ming's forehead was hard enough, otherwise, it would have caused him to bleed profusely.

"My goodness..." Wei Qingqing exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise, "Husband..."

"Why???" Yang Ming was almost in tears. "I'm telling the truth..."

"Honey, you're so amazing..." Wei Qingqing's eyes lit up. "You have superpowers! You have superpowers! Do you know that???"

"Uh..." Yang Ming was taken aback, then his expression turned serious. "What did you say???"

"I said you have superpowers now..." Wei Qingqing was so excited she was almost incoherent. "Think about it, when you swore to the lamp just now, didn't you think the flame would go out??? When you swore to the stars, didn't you think the stars would fall down??? When you swore to the ocean, didn't you think a wave would come??? When you asked lightning to strike you, didn't you think it would hit you on the head??? When you swore to the chandelier, didn't you think it would smash into your head???"

"This..." Yang Ming thought for a moment. These circumstances were indeed as Wei Qingqing had described. However, he had one question: "You said it was going to rain??? Why didn't it rain???"

"Simple..." Wei Qingqing held up one finger. "When you say it's raining, you're definitely not thinking about rain. Even if you are thinking about rain, your mind is still wandering. If you don't believe me, concentrate and try again..."

"Let's try it..." Yang Ming also wanted to know if he really had superpowers, so he got up and walked to the balcony, and Wei Qingqing followed him.

"Don't let your mind wander. Just think about rain falling from the sky, rain falling from the sky..." Wei Qingqing said.

"Okay..." Yang Ming nodded, took a deep breath, and slowly calmed himself down.

"Thump, thump..." As his mind calmed down, Yang Ming slowly forgot to breathe, forgot everything around him, and only felt the heart beating in his chest. The strong heartbeat was like a drum, and each tremor could transmit shockwaves to every part of his body.

"Let it rain, let it rain heavily..." Yang Ming said slowly.

These two sentences, like the only sound in the world, carried a strong resonance, as if they had merged with heaven and earth, or like a key that unlocked the secrets of the treasure trove of heaven and earth...

As these two sentences were uttered, in the sky...

There was no reaction at all. The sky was still the same sky, and the stars were still twinkling. However, a breeze slowly picked up, and the gentle breeze carried a slightly salty and fishy smell, which entered people's noses and gave them a refreshing and pleasant feeling.

"Where's the rain???" Wei Qingqing blinked, leaned out onto the balcony, and stretched out her hand, wanting to feel the raindrops falling on her palm.

Unfortunately, the weather was really uncooperative.

"It might really be a coincidence..." Yang Ming said somewhat awkwardly.

"It's not a coincidence, it's your vow coming true..." Wei Qingqing's face darkened.

"I didn't lie at all..." Yang Ming's face turned pale.

The couple, one with a dark face and the other with a pale face, looked exactly like the Black and White Impermanence.

"I don't believe you..." Wei Qingqing waited for Yang Ming, "You say now, swear that you're a real man, or I'll let a bolt of lightning fall from the sky and strike you dead..."

In Wei Qingqing's mind, such a vow shouldn't have any more unexpected problems, right? Yang Ming is a man, after all...

"No problem, I swear it right now..." Yang Ming nodded and said, "I, Yang Ming, swear to heaven that I am absolutely a real man, otherwise, may a bolt of lightning fall from the sky and strike me into a piece of charcoal..."

There was no reaction from the sky...

"I, Yang Ming, swear to heaven that I am a woman, and a great beauty at that. Otherwise, may a bolt of lightning fall from the sky and strike me into a piece of charcoal..." Yang Ming quickly changed his oath.

There was no reaction from the sky...

"I, Yang Ming, swear to God that I am absolutely one hundred percent loyal to Wei Qingqing. If I am lying in the slightest, may a bolt of lightning fall from the sky and strike me into a piece of charcoal..." Yang Ming said.

There was still no reaction from the sky...

"See? That was all a coincidence..." Yang Ming peeked out at the sky outside the balcony, and seeing that there was no lightning, he withdrew with satisfaction and said to Wei Qingqing.

"Could it really be a coincidence???" Wei Qingqing's face was full of suspicion.

"It must be a coincidence. Let's go back to our room and sleep..." Yang Ming said without waiting for a reply, pulling Wei Qingqing back to the bedroom.

"I always feel something's not right. Why don't you ask Ya Ya if some high-level creatures have special abilities?" The bedside lamp was on, the light was a bit dim. Wei Qingqing sat on the bed, her delicate eyebrows still tightly furrowed. What happened today was too strange, and it was impossible to explain it with scientific means.

Just as Yang Ming pointed at the hot air balloon, its fuel ran out? Just as Yang Ming pointed at the stars, a shooting star streaked across the atmosphere? Just as Yang Ming pointed at the sea, a wave crashed over him, drenching him completely?

If you mention lightning, does a bolt of lightning suddenly strike you on the head? If you mention a chandelier, does a chandelier fall and hit you on the head?

"Stop thinking nonsense, it's just a coincidence, do you understand? It's just a lucky coincidence. Didn't I just make several vows? There's no such thing as a sure thing." Yang Ming had already taken off his clothes, jumped onto the bed, lifted the blanket and crawled in, reached out and hugged Wei Qingqing, stripped her clothes off and pulled her under the blanket, and turned off the bedside lamp.

"Honey, really, I feel like you have superpowers. Why don't you make another vow, the same one you made at the beginning..." Wei Qingqing said, nestled in Yang Ming's arms.

"The original one???" Yang Ming was a little unhappy. "I'm not sending it anymore. If you don't believe me, then forget it..."

"How could I say I didn't believe you???" Wei Qingqing pouted. "What I meant was that you were only serious about the initial vow..."

"What do you mean???" Yang Ming's expression darkened. He sat up straight and looked at Wei Qingqing seriously. "You don't believe me, do you???"

"It's not that I don't believe you..." Wei Qingqing panicked a little when she saw that Yang Ming was really serious. She said anxiously, "He said that you're serious because you're serious, so you're serious when you make your vow. Listen to what vows you made later. It sounds like you're just joking..."

"You mean I didn't take it seriously, that's why I didn't react?" Yang Ming said, frowning.

"Of course..." Wei Qingqing nodded vigorously, "That's exactly what I meant..."

"Then let's not try it today, we'll talk about it tomorrow..." Yang Ming said, then got burned on the bed and hugged Wei Qingqing tightly.

"Honey, give it a try..." Wei Qingqing snuggled in Yang Ming's arms, "Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep..."

"Count sheep..." Yang Ming said.

"I won't count..." Wei Qingqing pouted and looked up as she spoke.

"Snoring..." A snoring sound came from Yang Ming's throat.

"You're so annoying, you're bullying me..." Facing Yang Ming, who was pretending to be asleep, Wei Qingqing was both amused and exasperated. She pinched his arm hard, but Yang Ming, with his thick skin, simply ignored it.

"Where are we going to play tomorrow?" Since Yang Ming didn't intend to bring up that topic, Wei Qingqing changed the subject.

"Go ahead and say it..." Yang Ming stopped pretending when the topic changed.

"Try again..." Seeing that Yang Ming was no longer pretending to be asleep, Wei Qingqing reluctantly changed the subject back.

"Snoring..." Yang Ming's snoring started again.

"Ugh..." Wei Qingqing was amused and punched Yang Ming on the shoulder with her little fist. "Fine, don't tell me then, let's continue talking about where we're going to play..."

"Snoring..." Yang Ming was definitely not the type to fall into the same pit twice, and the snoring continued.

"If you keep pretending, believe me, I'll pull them all out!" Wei Qingqing's little hands moved around inside the blanket.

"Hiss..." Yang Ming gasped, "Didn't I just say??? You said we'd go wherever you wanted to go..."

"No, you have to say it too..." Wei Qingqing said coquettishly.

"Tomorrow we'll go out to sea to fish first, and when we come back at noon, we'll go swimming in the sea..." Yang Ming said.

"Okay..." Wei Qingqing nodded, "I'll do as you say..."

"Qingqing, you are a good wife..." Yang Ming looked at Wei Qingqing's pretty face, which he could still see clearly in the darkness.

"Hehe..." Wei Qingqing giggled, wrapping her jade-like arm around Yang Ming's waist, and said in a sweet voice, "So cheesy..."

"It's not cheesy, I'm telling the truth..." Yang Ming gently kissed her forehead. "From the moment you said you wanted me to accompany you around, I knew what you were up to..."

"You're so smart..." Wei Qingqing cupped Yang Ming's cheeks and gently kissed his lips, her tone teasing.

"It's not that I'm smart, it's that you're too stupid..." Yang Ming laughed.

"Ugh..." Wei Qingqing pinched Yang Ming's ear with her small hand and twisted it hard. "Who are you calling stupid???"

"Ouch..." Yang Ming really felt the pain when his ear was twisted. He quickly grabbed her delicate hand that was pinching his ear. "I told you I was stupid, I was really stupid, really..."

"Hmph..." Wei Qingqing snorted and released her grip. "You really do have some self-awareness..."

"You were just saying I was smart..." Yang Ming muttered, rubbing his ears.

"They were being sarcastic, and you didn't even realize that? Aren't you stupid???" Wei Qingqing said.

"Yes, yes, yes..." Yang Ming finally understood. Anyone who tries to reason with a woman is a fool, stubborn, and blunt...

"Hehe, honey, you really don't care about that Jedi Elder status???" Wei Qingqing wrapped her arms around Yang Ming's neck, gently kissed his lips, and giggled.

"No, I care a lot..." Yang Ming immediately put on a pained expression.

"Then go ahead, I don't object..." Wei Qingqing said with a smile.

"Silly girl..." Yang Ming pinched Wei Qingqing's buttocks with his large hand, "Compared to you, she's not worth it..."

"Hehe..." Wei Qingqing chuckled, "You don't care, but I do. We agreed that if I give birth before the 21st, we'll go together. If I give birth after the 21st, you go first, then find a break to come back and bring me along so I can see the world..."

"You..." Yang Ming was speechless. He hadn't expected Wei Qingqing to consider so much for him. He pursed his lips, "I'm not going anywhere..."
