Evolution - Chapter 167
Chapter 167
Angela, quite schemingly, used the force of Yunbao’s push to cry out, “Ah!” and fall from the tree.
The beautiful big sister will definitely catch me!
Yu Zhiyao did indeed reach out to catch Angela, but not in the embrace she had imagined. Instead, she casually cast a levitation spell on her, then grabbed her by the collar and gently set her on the ground.
Yunbao had already leaped nimbly from the tree, calling out aggrievedly, “Yu Zhiyao.”
Wearing an awkward yet polite smile, Yu Zhiyao said softly, “Yunbao, you and your little friend have fun here.”
I’ll be going now!
In any case, she was still too embarrassed to face this pure little dragon who had witnessed her and Ji Changqing’s live show and had even felt indignant on her behalf.
“Don’t you want me anymore?” Yunbao asked in a small voice. We finally get to see each other, and you, my domineering CEO, aren’t even going to buy me things?
Yu Zhiyao nearly stumbled upon hearing this.
Damn it, I can’t handle this!
She really had no idea what Yunbao had been through. Ever since Chu Ci brought it to Blue Star for a preliminary inspection tour all those years ago, it had developed a special fondness for old-school domineering CEO dramas and melodramatic, rustic family ethics shows…
It spouted one cheesy pickup line after another, lines it didn’t even fully understand, generously dishing them out. She had no idea how many times it had inadvertently provoked Ji Changqing.
And every time it provoked Ji Changqing, that jealous woman would seize the opportunity, not stopping until Yu Zhiyao’s legs were weak and her back was sore.
The price was simply too heavy to pay. She couldn’t afford it, couldn’t afford it, really, she couldn’t afford it!
Angela frantically tried to steal the scene from the side. “Sister, look at me, I’m super well-behaved! I know about the ‘fairies fighting’!”
Yu Zhiyao looked down at the two little ones, feeling mentally exhausted. Just what had these two rascals been discussing?
Yunbao blinked its eyes, licked its lips, and said in an exceptionally well-behaved manner, “I’m well-behaved too, I’m well-behaved too! So can I have lots and lots of snacks?”
Yu Zhiyao just wanted to end this awkward scene and get to her lecture quickly. “Of course. I have to go give a lecture now. I’ll buy them for you later and have them delivered, okay?”
Just let me go! Let me leave!
Angela hugged Yu Zhiyao’s leg, clamoring to show her loyalty. “I don’t want snacks, I have money! I can give you lots of yummy things!”
Yu Zhiyao patted her little head and mercilessly refused her offer. She wasn’t a woman who could be swayed by a few sweet words!
Yunbao, a master of pushing its luck, saw Yu Zhiyao’s “I’ll give you whatever you want” expression and beamed as it made its request. “I don’t feel like sleeping much these days, so can I have a lot more than last time?”
Looks like Ji Changqing and I won’t be able to return to Lingyun Peak anytime soon, Yu Zhiyao thought.
After she agreed to Yunbao’s shopping spree, and even to super-size it, Angela enthusiastically pitched herself. “Beautiful big sister, I’m Angela! Can you wait for me to grow up? I’m super pretty, good-looking, and rich! I’ll be super good to you!”
“I can’t,” Yu Zhiyao said, ruffling Angela’s soft hair. Her eyes held a smile as she spoke with extreme gentleness. “Big sister is already married.”
And we’re very much in love and inseparable, so you don’t stand a chance!
Angela was deeply disappointed, even the strands of her hair seemed to wilt.
As expected, beautiful big sisters and pretty young ladies always have some beast squatting by their side early on!
After dealing with the two little rascals, she was mentally and physically drained. One was so young yet already knew to reserve a single young lady to wait for her to grow up; the other’s head was filled with nothing but being kept by a domineering CEO, a foodie focused only on eating. How did these two even get together?
Finally sending them on their way, Yu Zhiyao felt that this was far more tiring than giving a lecture. She secretly resolved that until Yunbao went back into hibernation, she wouldn’t just avoid returning to Lingyun Peak—she’d better not touch any related work here either. She could just push it all onto He Yi.
What if she came over and ran into the two little rascals playing together again?
That evening, she drove herself back to Ji Changqing’s military residence. Along the way, she saw the fantastical buildings that had appeared on Blue Star over the past century.
Ten years after Lingyun Peak reopened its gates, the once-desolate area it had chosen gradually became prosperous. Not only did the Seven Realms of Cultivation come to claim land and establish various market towns on the periphery, but people from other planets in the Alliance also joined in this land rush.
Over the century, not only the Alliance’s ABO system and the cultivation system, but also magical systems, demon clans, sea clans… all sorts of never-before-seen monsters and strange beings emerged, all rushing to claim land on Blue Star and establish branch headquarters.
It was a good thing Chu Ci had chosen a place that was a virtual no-man’s-land for a thousand li around; otherwise, it really couldn’t have accommodated so many branch headquarters from various systems. Even so, Blue Star later had to organize the relocation of some people to free up space, and it was still barely enough.
According to Chu Ci, Blue Star was special because its so-called ancient myths and legends were actually real. Pangu separated heaven and earth, the clear qi rose, and the chaotic qi sank. This chaotic qi was inherently suitable for all kinds of races and cultivation systems, but it needed specific conditions to be activated. Blue Star should have had this advantage, and its cultivation civilization should have flourished, but something went wrong along the way, causing the Daoist lineage to be severed.
Without the cultivation breakthroughs of various races to draw it out, the chaotic qi gradually sank into the planet’s core.
To activate and utilize it, a native of Blue Star, acknowledged by heaven and earth, was needed. With each breakthrough in their cultivation level, they could draw out a corresponding magnitude of chaotic qi, merging it with the world and making Blue Star even more conducive to cultivation and advancement.
The other method was to destroy Blue Star, violently extract its core, and slowly refine it.
The group that had previously plotted to kill Yu Zhiyao and Ji Changqing had been aiming for the latter. However, they were later taken down in one fell swoop by the people from the Alliance’s ABO system, in conjunction with Chu Ci, and were utterly annihilated.
Now, this area was like a grand exhibition hall of ten thousand races: the elves’ exquisite treehouses, the demon clans’ rugged and bold stone cities, the sea clans’ ocean worlds, the ABO system’s cold, silver, high-tech skyscrapers, the mages’ high towers, the dwarves’ giant forges and casting workshops…
It was a chaotic jumble, yet it unexpectedly created a fantastical atmosphere. Seeing the splendor of ten thousand races in a single day was no longer a dream!
Now, filmmakers from all over the Alliance, regardless of genre, could shoot on location here, and the cost was much, much lower than before!
Blue Star became famous throughout the Alliance for this, not only as a high-profile research base that determined the direction of new technology, but also as a super-famous tourist destination. Everyone considered it an honor to visit Blue Star and personally experience the “Magical Blue Star.”
A while ago, there was even a case of a demon clan member trying to pull a scam. Someone from the fox clan transformed into a fluffy creature to act cute and trick people into giving them food and drink. But that wasn’t all. Seeing a pretty young girl, it transformed into a human and accused her of having pledged her life to it. The evidence? When the girl was petting the fluffy creature, she had stroked it all over, including its tail.
It claimed that in its clan, touching the tail was a gesture of courtship and a promise of a life together.
Then it was taught a lesson by an Alliance judge!
Transforming into a fluffy creature to act cute and scam food and drink was one thing, but to then try to extort a relationship by force? Get out!
The demon clan’s protests were useless. Who told it not to reveal its identity? After transforming into a human, it tried to force the young girl to take responsibility, frightening and distressing her. After all, she had never considered an interspecies romance. She was just petting a fluffy creature, only to find out she’d been petting a grown man. It constituted extremely malicious sexual harassment. The fox was sentenced to seven years in prison and had to pay a large sum in compensation for emotional distress.
Honestly, how could they be so fanciful!
That was why today, when Angela revealed her beautiful silver dragon form and generously offered to let Yu Zhiyao pet her, Yu Zhiyao, though sorely tempted, had decisively refused!
Are you kidding? This was an underage silver dragon, and she was a married woman. If she petted her and Angela demanded she take responsibility, she’d end up in jail too!
It was Friday. The roads were packed with traffic and the sidewalks swarmed with people. Most of those still out were traveling between two places for a weekend reunion. The Alliance garrison on Blue Star was located by the sea, and Ji Changqing’s assigned military residence was in a coastal city, quite a distance from Lingyun Peak.
So, by the time she got back, Ji Changqing had already prepared a super-sumptuous dinner and even showed her the preservation cabinet, which was stuffed with all kinds of ingredients.
The gesture was full of implication.
With ample supplies, they could spend the two-day weekend indulging in passion.
Yu Zhiyao shot her a playful glare. After a long, passionate kiss, she pushed her away. “I’m going to take a shower first.”
Otherwise, there might not be a chance later.
After her shower, Yu Zhiyao sat at the dining table, waiting for Ji Changqing to finish in the kitchen so they could eat together. The grand military parade was on, showing the conferment ceremony for general-grade officers. Seeing several familiar faces on screen, she couldn’t help but focus a little more.
Ji Changqing had recently been promoted to Lieutenant General, just in time for the collective conferment at the parade. The one bestowing her rank was Lieutenant General Xie’er, who had a visible baby bump.
The bullet comments below were a blur, scrolling past dizzyingly.
“Ahhhh! General Xie’er! She’s so beautiful and cool even when pregnant! I love her, I love her!”
“Ahhh, Major General Ji, I’m so ready! I want to have her babies!”
“Why did Lieutenant General Xie’er and Major General Ji have to get married to other people! They’re obviously a perfect match!”
The smile on Yu Zhiyao’s face gradually froze. She looked at the screen, at Ji Changqing in her military uniform—high-spirited, exceptionally handsome, and dashing—and gritted her teeth. This woman is such a flirt!
“What are you talking about? Are you pretending our Yao-Ji doesn’t exist? Major General Ji’s wife, Yu Zhiyao, is a big shot at the Academy of Sciences! Aren’t they a match? They’re a super match!”
“Hey, it’s Lieutenant General, Lieutenant General! Not Major General anymore!”
“Claire objects! She even transferred from the Capital Star to be with General Xie’er! Their love is so deep, yet you all always ignore it!”
This comment was followed by a stream of “hahahas”!
“General Xie’er is pregnant, how could she dare not go? Alliance law wouldn’t allow it!”
“Is the sister upstairs seriously giving a legal lesson? Haha! So cute!”
Ji Changqing brought out all the dishes and set the table. She turned on the pheromone filter and, for good measure, cautiously set up a shielding formation.
Yu Zhiyao’s mouth twitched. It seemed that after having their live show witnessed by the pure little dragon, it wasn’t just her who was traumatized; Ji Changqing was just as affected.
Ji Changqing leaned down, kissed the corner of Yu Zhiyao’s mouth, and sat down beside her. “Shall we begin?”
Yu Zhiyao nodded. “Let’s begin.”
The two ate their meal, their minds restless and distracted, fueling up to ensure they had enough stamina for the work ahead. Each suppressed the subtle reactions in their bodies, their thoughts having long since flown to the dual cultivation session that was about to begin.
After all, Yu Zhiyao had entered the Core Formation stage more than three years ahead of Ji Changqing. Since they couldn’t dual cultivate unless they were at the same level, well, they had missed it quite a bit.
The dual cultivation technique their Big Sister had found for them was rather special. It had been strictly selected based on their current situation—namely, that one of them was a female Alpha.
Previously, they had only focused on studying the cultivation technique itself. It was only after they started dual cultivating and realized something was different that they carefully read the preface and postscript of the manual.
The creator of this dual cultivation technique had a Dao Companion who was a female Alpha with average cultivation aptitude. Normal dual cultivation methods didn’t benefit their practice much. So, after a long period of extensive and joyful practical application, they summarized and revised their experiences, finally fumbling their way to creating this technique. It could be used by ordinary people, but it was even better when “consumed” with an Alpha.
They had also figured out how to incorporate little tricks into the dual cultivation technique, which brought about some side effects. But these could only be understood, not explained, and had to be experienced personally!
And so, they had spent their entire honeymoon exploring and savoring its pleasures.
Having tried it, the two found it addictively pleasurable and became deeply engrossed. They constantly experimented with various combinations, developing and researching different ways to use it, enjoying themselves immensely and dual cultivating without pause.
After experiencing it firsthand, Yu Zhiyao admitted that as long as she could control it herself and choose whether to stop or continue, she quite liked this side effect.
An uncontrollable AO shared period was an adventure every time; a controllable AO shared period was a pleasure every time.
After enjoying their delicious meal, the two got down to business.
The gentle prelude to a passionate symphony, light and joyful, made one feel as if they were being treated with tenderness and cherished dearly. Then, as time passed, the music shifted from gentle and light to powerful and intense, the distinct rhythms coming together to perform a perfect movement.
