Looking at Ding Ling Dong's vague smile, Li Yao felt that every hair on the back of his head was standing on end. Secretly complaining in his heart, he couldn't help but blurt out the excuse that he had prepared a long time ago. "Honey, listen to me. It's all a misunderstanding. I have no idea why Wenwen used Sister Qingqing's appearance as her virtual image at all. At that time, I was still in a coma, and she made the decision on her own.
"Xiaoming also explained to me later that it was mainly because he was worried that, as information lives, it would be rather awkward for them to 'look the same' as the leader of the Federation, and unnecessary misunderstandings might be raised. It's really as simple as that.
"Yes, of course Sister Qing Qing was a very important guide on my path of cultivation, but she and I are really just pure friends. The most we do is discuss literature together. From the beginning to the end, Sister Qing Qing and I have never even held each other's hands. You have to believe me, honey!"
Ding Ling Dong stared at Li Yao's face for a long time.
Even though Li Yao was in the Divinity Branching Stage, he still could not seal his pores. Cold sweat the size of beans was leaking out.
"Really?"
Finally, Ding Ling Dong smiled and asked.
"Of course it's true. It's absolutely true. It's 100% true!"
Li Yao nodded his head like a chick pecking rice. "I, 'Vulture Li Yao', am a man of integrity that everybody in the entire Pangu universe praises. You are the only woman that I have ever loved in my entire life. My respect for Sister Qingqing is the most noble and pure!"
"That explains a lot. I was worried for nothing. But there's one other thing."
Ding Ling Dong said with a smile, "I only said that I would ask you a 'minor question' just now. I did not say that I was going to ask about Sister Qingqing. Why did you subconsciously think that my question was related to Sister Qingqing?"
"Huh?"
Li Yao was dumbfounded.
"In fact, I only wanted to ask you if you missed me or not."
Ding Ling Dong sighed. "Why can't you just let me finish my question patiently?"
"…"
Li Yao swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, cold sweat trickling down his back.
"Originally, I didn't want to talk about Big Sister Qingqing at all. I just wanted to enjoy the time I had with you, but you jumped out so impatiently that I had no choice but to ask."
Ding Ling Dong narrowed her eyes and said, "You said it so smoothly. You must have prepared such a speech in advance. Then, there are only two possibilities. First, you have a guilty conscience."
"I'm not, I'm not. I don't have the heart or the guts. Why would I feel guilty?"
Li Yao's expression was as if two vipers had crawled into his pants. He said reflexively, "Absolutely not!"
"Well, I don't think so either. I believe that you and Sister Qingqing are innocent. Then, there's only the second possibility."
Ding Ling Dong's eyes beamed with unfathomable brilliance, and she sighed slightly sadly. "It's not that I don't believe you, but that you don't believe me. You think that your wife is a narrow-minded, narrow-minded, and brainless woman, a jealous, shrewd, and foolish woman who has nothing better to do but worry about whether or not her husband is out fooling around. Would you fly into a rage indiscriminately over such a trivial matter as a virtual face being similar to an old friend's? Tell me, my dear husband, am I such an existence in your heart?"
Ding Lingdang was very, very gentle. She gently stroked Li Yao's chest and drew circles on his chest with her finger.
Her voice was very gentle, and so was her smile. She even seemed a bit coquettish.
However, Li Yao's keen intuition in the Divinity Branching Stage told him that the level in front of him was as dangerous as fighting the unparalleled bandits such as Xiao Xuance, Zhou Hengdao, Blackstar the Great, Fuxi, and Lu Qingchen on his own. No, it was even more dangerous.
For a moment, Li Yao's desire for survival was boosted to the maximum.
"How can it be? Who said that? That's definitely not what I think!"
With sincerity and indignation all over his face, Li Yao said, "I often tell everybody around me that my wife is the most gentle, kindest, considerate, broad-minded, and extraordinary woman in the world who is bold enough to change the world. Your heart is as broad as the universe, your wisdom is as glittering as the morning star, and your trust in me is as indestructible as iron. Even if it is put into a star and burned for a thousand years, it will never be melted!
"Therefore, I never had the slightest suspicion that you would be mad at me because of Sister Qingqing. That's … That's complete nonsense. It's impossible!"
Ding Ling Dong was listening solemnly at first with her eyes narrowed, but in the end, she couldn't help but chuckle and punch Li Yao. "Alright, there's no need to exaggerate. Look at how scared you are. I was just joking with you!"
"A — A joke?"
Li Yao took a long breath in relief and relaxed his nerves.
"Of course. Do you really think that I am a narrow-minded woman who can't tell right from wrong? You are my husband. I know you better than anyone else. As for Sister Qingqing, although I haven't seen her much, I know that she is a real, pure Cultivator. If I were to doubt such a pure friendship between the two of you, I would be insulting not only you but also her and myself! "
Ding Ling Dong couldn't help but laugh. "I just want to see your pale face and your speechless defense. Hahahaha. That's hilarious. Do you really think that I'm suspicious of you and Sister Qingqing? Do you have to be so stupid? Hahahaha. Rest assured. To be honest, I'd rather believe that you and Sister Qingqing are in a complicated relationship than suspect you and Sister Qingqing.
Hahahaha! "" That's what I said. Hahahaha. Wife, you are really — "
Seeing Ding Ling Dong burst into laughter, Li Yao laughed, too. 99% of his nerves were relaxed.
If he were still a common expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage, the last 1% of his nerves would've been completely relaxed after 0.01 seconds, too.
In that case, it would be impossible to predict what would happen next.
Fortunately, he was already distracted and had a premonition about fatal danger.
Before he finished his sentence, Li Yao's pupils had already constricted to the minimum. Even the rainbow inside his eyes turned black and white in the blink of an eye.
"Wait. Wait a moment, honey. What do you mean by 'you'd rather believe that I and Long Yangjun are in a complicated relationship'? What the heck is that? It's completely unreal!"
Li Yao shouted desperately. "Long — Long Yangjun, right? Let me think. Oh, oh, oh. That woman who is as ugly as a pig, as venomous as a scorpion, and as cruel and malicious as a snake. No. I don't even know if she's a woman. She and I are not even friends. We are simply scheming against each other. Honey, what are you thinking about exactly? You — you should have more confidence in yourself even if you don't have confidence in me. If you are a plate of delicacies, Long Yangjun is a plate of rotten rice that has been left to rot for three days. How can I abandon the delicacies for rotten rice? "
"… Hehe. You've successfully passed the test. I really believe you this time!"
Ding Ling Dong finally put on a real smile. She stuck her face to Li Yao's chest and listened to his heartbeat. "Honey, do you feel that your wife is a bad person?"
"You must be kidding!"
"Absolutely not. My wife is the best woman in the entire universe. Whoever thinks that you are bad, I will beat them up for you. Whoever thinks that you are barbaric, I will beat them up for you. Whoever thinks that you are brawny, I will beat them up for you. Whoever thinks that you are strong and unreasonable, I will beat them up for you!"
"Don't blame me. Of course, I believe you. It's just that — it's just that the universe is too vast, and you and I have too many experiences and changes."
Ding Ling Dong's body was even more limp, but she held Li Yao even more tightly and mumbled to his heart, "Sometimes, I can't help but think that we are living in such a turbulent era where everything is rushing forward like clockwork. Even we are changing all the time. Jin Dan, Yuanying, the Divinity Transformation Stage, and even the Divinity Branching Stage, material lives, information lives … Everything is like a bizarre explosion.
"In such an explosion, can you and I really stick to our hearts, including our trust and love for each other?
"To be honest, honey, you are too awesome right now. Even the primeval super crystal processor from hundreds of thousands of years ago was blown up by you with one punch. Even the tripartite balance of the Federation, the Imperium, and the Holy League can be said to be caused by you. I really don't know if I can still regard you as the man who belongs to me … in the past."
"Don't be silly. Of course I can. Even though I have become the best expert in the Pangu universe and the savior and superhero that everybody praises in the Federation, the Imperium, and the Holy League, I will always be your husband. Our love will never change!"
Li Yao said affectionately.
"Is that so …"
Ding Ling Dong's voice and eyes turned deep. Her body temperature was rising nonstop, and her wheat-colored skin gradually turned into the color of honey. "Words are no proof. Can you prove it?"
"Huh?"
Li Yao blinked. "How can I prove it?"
"What do you think?"
Ding Ling Dong scratched her hair that was dancing crazily like snakes. Her long hair that looked like flames, vipers, ferocious beasts, and tentacles were still crawling into Li Yao's arms beyond her control. "Don't worry. I've taken care of all the official business in advance and earned seven precious days of vacation. I also told the heroes that you have just woken up and need some time for recovery training, which is why you are not meeting any guests yet. We will train in seclusion on this unmanned shuttle."
"Training in seclusion? Seven days and seven nights?"
Li Yao took a deep breath and managed to smile. "Honey, listen to me —"
"What are you talking about? I hate boastful guys the most. The arrow is already nocked on the string, and the enemy is already at our doorstep. Are you still going to talk?"
