"Well …"
Li Yao scratched the back of his head, somewhat in a dilemma. But when he saw the brutality beaming out of his wife's eyes, he immediately nodded his head heavily. "Yes. That's exactly it!"
"That's more like it!"
Ding Ling Dong smiled in satisfaction. Holding Li Yao's hand, the two of them walked to the end of the clouds on the stairs made of spiritual energy.
They seemed to be standing next to an unpredictable cliff, gazing at the boundless land and the sky that was even more vast and profound.
After a long silence, Li Yao finally struggled to open his mouth. "What's your opinion about the mission to explore the dark nebula today?"
Ding Lingdang narrowed her eyes and moved her hands slowly in the sunlight, as if she was trying to scoop up a scoop of water from the River of Light. She said, "I'm just a pure warrior. I don't know much about refining and intelligence. You go first!"
"I think that the mission must be carried out, even at the cost of a Yuanying! If we don't go, the risks may be too high. But if we go, we may discover a relic that is even more splendid than Kunlun and even find a powerful ally! "
Li Yao had obviously considered his words many times on the way to the clouds. Right now, he was talking nonstop. "If we are to carry out the mission, Master is certainly not the best choice.
"I'm not worried that he will fail, but as a 'star spirit', he controls the most powerful super crystal processors in the three Sectors right now and is responsible for countless revolutionary magical equipment projects. He will be the pillar of the development of magical equipment in the three Sectors in the next hundred years. We can't do without him!
"As for other candidates, I've managed to think of a few. For example, Brother Guo Chunfeng, the director of the Secret Sword Bureau.
"As' Jin Dan, the best of the three Sectors', and with his talents in four fields, he would've been a rather good candidate! First of all, intelligence collection is his old profession, which he is very familiar with. Also, he can be considered a decent refiner. After a year and a half of intensive training, he will certainly be able to grasp the maintenance and assembly of the 'space gate'. "
"But if we choose Brother Guo, it will be the same problem. His role in the secret frontline of the Federation is equally irreplaceable, especially since the people of the Imperium and the Holy League look no different from us. It is even easier for them to infiltrate the Federation than it was for the demons in the past."
"Intelligence and anti-infiltration work is destined to be the top priority in the future war!"
"Besides, Brother Guo is still a hair's breadth away from the Yuanying State. In a critical moment, the breadth of the breadth of the breadth of the breadth of the breadth of the breadth of the breadth of the breadth of the breadth of the breadth of the breadth of the breadth of the breadth of the breadth.
"As for other Yuanying, most of them specialize in a certain field. It's still a little difficult for them to master skills in another field through intensive training."
Ding Lingdang chuckled. "After all that talk, you're just bragging and bragging. You think that this mission can only be done by you, and that it can't be done without you?"
Li Yao blushed. "That's not what I meant, but it's true that I'm more suitable than Professor Mo Xuan and Brother Guo. More importantly, I feel that I won't be of much use in the next hundred years even if I stay in the Federation."
"Although I am a core member of the Colossus Project, we have now assembled five Colossi. We have systematic operation manuals for both the assembly process and the usage. If we want to study them further, we will have to touch the cutting-edge theories."
"Not just the Colossi. It's the same for other magical equipment.
"You know that I'm good at practical operations. I don't know the first thing about the cutting-edge theories. What I can do in the future is already very, very small.
"It's the same for the Glorious Sunlight Group, the Double Dragons Union, and Skyfire. Nominally, I own a lot of shares in all of them, but in fact, I'm not doing anything!
"The Glorious Sunlight Group has been managed by the seniors in Wu Mayan's family together with Xiong Wuji. The Double Dragons Union is now under the command of my senior brother, Fiend Blade Peng Hai. Skyfire is under the dual leadership of Fire Ant and Jin Xinyue! They are a hundred times better than me in terms of management and operation. Even without me, the three groups will still thrive!
"I've thought about it for a long time. I'm like a 'mascot' in the Federation right now. If I'm away for a while, I won't affect the development of the Federation too much, will I?"
While talking, Li Yao's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He hesitated for a long time before he said softly, "I think that I'm the best choice from all aspects. The only problem is you.
"You've read the files just now. Searching for a mysterious Sector in the dark nebula is like groping for a needle in a sunless swamp. Chances are that it will take decades or even a hundred years!
"Although we've both advanced into the Yuanying Stage, and the vitality of our cells is unparalleled, as long as we are not caught in a great war in the next hundred years and don't exhaust our vitality recklessly, our body functions will still be vigorous. There won't be many changes compared to right now.
"However, it will be a hundred years after all!
"Therefore, I need to hear your opinion. I hope that you can help me decide!
"Honey, if you think that I'm the most suitable candidate, I'll go. If you don't agree with me going, we can go to Professor right now and turn down the mission!"
Ding Ling Dong raised the sunlight in her hands to her face and stared at her man through the translucent light. She chuckled and said, "You're going to let me decide? Are you so obedient?"
"Of course!"
Li Yao clapped his hands. "The world is not as important as my wife!"
"Alright."
Ding Ling Dong said with a smile, "I can answer you very solemnly right now. If your reason is only what you said just now, I don't agree with you going!"
"Huh?"
Li Yao was dumbfounded.
"What? Do you think that I'm going to agree without hesitation?"
Ding Ling Dong sniffed and jabbed Li Yao's chest hard. "In fact, I think that Professor Mo Xuan was quite right about one thing. Li Yao, don't overestimate yourself. Can't the world run without you? Why do you always have to be in the limelight and solve every problem by yourself?
"Professor Mo Xuan, Brother Guo Chunfeng, and even other Yuanying trainees are not as good as you after a year and a half of intensive training, and they are absolutely incapable of carrying out such a mission? Are you really that good?
"Who knows, they might be able to complete this mission even better than you!"
"As for the vacancies that will be left after they are gone, it is even less of a problem. I don't believe that there are not at least two people who are qualified to be the director of the Secret Sword Bureau and the president of the Refiners' Association in the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Flying Star Sector, and the Blood Demon Sector."
After every sentence that Ding Ling Dong said, she jabbed Li Yao's chest hard, making Li Yao grimace and gasp hard.
Right then, Ding Ling Dong rubbed Li Yao's chest softly again and said softly, "All in all, the Federation can have countless superheroes. You are not the first, and you will not be the last. Even if you hide at home and sleep, the sky will not fall, the earth will not collapse, and the end of the world will not come!
"But I only have one husband, and I'm too lazy to find a second one.
"You are not important to the Federation, but you are extremely important to me. Do you understand?
"Therefore, if you are only asking for the reasons just now, my answer is that I don't agree. Absolutely not! If anyone dares to trick you with bullsh * t reasons such as' national interests' or 'sacrifice', I will blow up their heads!
"You have done enough for the Federation. Even if there is really a Cultivator's responsibility, it is already done!"
Li Yao was rendered speechless by his wife's words. For a moment, he was dazed on the clouds.
Pondering carefully, he realized that his wife was implying something. "If you are only asking for the reasons just now, you won't agree. So, you will agree if there are other reasons?"
Ding Ling Dong grinned and suddenly said without thinking, "Li Yao, thank you."
Li Yao was even more puzzled. "Why are you thanking me for?"
"Did you know? In fact, a long, long time ago, before I met you, and even for a long time after I met you, I thought that I would never get married in my life."
Ding Ling Dong opened her arms and melted in the golden sunlight. She said casually, "After all, you know my personality very well. I'm so rude, and I like adventures and fighting. I'm keen on blowing the brains out of demon beasts with one punch. Once I start training crazily, I won't rest for three days and three nights. I can't care about anything else!
"I've always wondered what kind of man would accept such a wife. Most men prefer the kind of woman who is gentle and quiet, who is capable in the kitchen, and not the crazy type like me, right? "
"But after so many years of marriage, you've always supported me. You never stopped me from joining the highly dangerous experimental training programs, or fighting the strengthened demon beasts with live bullets, or even training at the edge of the gravitational sphere of the pulsar, where I might be sucked in and compressed into a speck smaller than dust if I was careless."
"When I reported these cultivation subjects to you in detail, I could see the worry in your eyes, but you didn't stop me even once. Instead, you pretended to be relaxed and encouraged me. Tell me, why?"
Li Yao's face was even redder than the burning clouds. Scratching his nose, he said, "Is there a need for a 'why'? They are all things that you want to do. You can find happiness, realize your dreams, and even find the true meaning of life from those things!
"I am your husband. Of course, I have to support my wife and do whatever she wants to do. Let her blossom and shine as much as she wants!"
Ding Ling Dong smiled heartlessly.
The sun appeared behind her once again, outlining her golden and dazzling silhouette. It was as if a pair of wings had spread out behind her.
"That's exactly what I wanted to say to you, too!"
Ding Ling Dong said. "Therefore, in the matter just now, if your reason was only that 'the country needs me', I would never have agreed to it. The country doesn't need you, but I do!"
