Looking at Ding Lingdang's half-smiling expression, every hair on the back of Li Yao's head stood up as he cried bitterly in his heart. He could not help but blurt out the words that he had prepared a long time ago,

"Honey, listen to my explanation. This is all a misunderstanding. I have absolutely no idea why Wenwen would use Sister Qingqing's appearance as her own virtual image. At that time, I was still in a coma, and she

decided to act on her own.

"Xiao Ming explained it to me later, too, mainly because he was worried that it would be awkward for them to 'meet face to face' with the leader of the federation, which might lead to unnecessary misunderstandings. It

was really as simple as that.

"Yes. Of course, Sister Qingqing is a very important guide in my path of cultivation. But she and I are really pure fellow daoists. At most, we can discuss literature together. From beginning to end, Sister Qingqing and I

have never even held hands. You must believe me, honey!"

Ding Lingdang stared at Li Yao's face for a long time.

Although Li Yao was in the Divinity Transformation Stage, he couldn't hold back his cold sweat.

"Really?"

Finally, Ding Lingdang smiled and asked.

"Of course it's true. It's absolutely true. 100% true!"

Li Yao nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice. "I, 'Vulture Li Yao', am a man of integrity and integrity. I'm one of the most respected women in the entire Pangu Universe. You are the only woman that I've ever

loved deeply in my life. My admiration for Sister Qingqing is the purest and the highest!"

"I see. | was worried for nothing. But there's something else."

Ding Lingdang smiled. "I only said that I was going to ask you a 'small question'. I didn't say that I was going to ask about Sister Qingqing. Why did you subconsciously think that my question had something to do with

Sister Qingging?"

"Huh?"

Li Yao was dumbfounded.

"In fact, I only wanted to ask you whether or not you missed me.

Ding Lingdang sighed. "Why can't you just listen to my questions patiently?"

Li Yao swallowed hard, sweating hard.

"At first, I didn't want to talk about Sister Qingqing at all. I just wanted to enjoy the time with you. But since you jumped out so impatiently, I had to ask."

Ding Lingdang narrowed her eyes and said, "You are speaking so smoothly because you've prepared such an excuse, haven't you? Then, there are only two possibilities. First, you are guilty."

"I'm not. I don't. I don't have the guts. Why should I feel guilty?"

Li Yao's expression was as if two vipers had crawled into his crotch. He reflexively replied, "Absolutely not!"

"Well, I don't think so, either. I believe that you and Sister Qingqing are innocent. Then, there is only the second possibility."

An unfathomable glow blossomed in the depths of Ding Lingdang's eyes as she let out a slightly aggrieved sigh. "It's not that I don't believe you, it's that you don't believe me. You feel that your wife is a narrow-minded,

narrow-minded, and brainless woman who has nothing better to do than to worry about whether or not her husband has gone out to play with women. A jealous, vicious, and foolish woman who would fly into a rage

without distinguishing right from wrong just because of a trivial matter like a virtual face being similar to an old friend… Tell me, my dear husband, in your heart, am I such an existence?"

Very gently, very gently, Ding Lingdang caressed Li Yao's chest. Her fingers drew circles around his heart.

Her voice was gentle, and so was her smile. There was even a hint of sweetness in her voice.

However, Li Yao's keen intuition told him that the test in front of him was as dangerous as a solo battle against Xiao Xuance, Zhou Hengdao, Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi, Fuxi, and Lu Qingchen, or even more so.

For a moment, Li Yao's desire for survival reached its peak.

"How can that be? Who said that? That's definitely not what I thought!"

Li Yao's face was filled with sincerity and righteous indignation. "I often tell everyone around me that my wife is the most gentle, kind, understanding, broad-minded, and understanding woman in the world. She is an

extraordinary woman who is capable of overturning mountains and mountains and daring to change the sun and the moon. Your broad-mindedness is as vast as the entire sea of stars. Your wisdom is as brilliant as the

morning star. Your trust in me is as hard as steel and indestructible. Even if I were to ruthlessly burn it in a star for a thousand to ten thousand years, it would absolutely not melt!

"Therefore, I never had the slightest doubt that you would be angry with me over Sister Qingqing's matter. This, this is complete nonsense. It's simply groundless and impossible!"

At first, Ding Lingdang was listening with a straight face. But later, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. She punched Li Yao and said, "Alright. You don't need to be so dramatic. Look at how scared you are. It was

just a joke!"

"A—a joke?"

Li Yao took a long breath in relief.

"Nonsense. Do you really think I'm some narrow-minded, vicious woman who can't tell right from wrong? You are my husband. I know your personality the best. Although I haven't seen Sister Qingqing for a long time, I

also know that she is a true, pure cultivator. If 1 even doubt such a pure friendship between the two of you, it would not only be an insult to you, but also an insult to her and myself!"

Ding Lingdang couldn't help but laugh. "I just want to see your face so pale that you can't explain yourself. Hahahaha. That's hilarious. Did you really think that I was suspecting you and Sister Qingqing? Do you have to

be so stupid? Hahahaha. Don't worry. To be honest, I would rather believe that you and Long Yangjun are in a relationship than doubt you and Sister Qingqing. Hahahaha!"

"I knew it. Hahahaha. Honey, you are really—"

Seeing Ding Lingdang burst into laughter, Li Yao also laughed. 99% of his nerves were relaxed.

ff he were still an ordinary expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage, the last 1% of his nerves would be completely relieved after 0.01 seconds.

if so, there was no telling what would happen next.

Thankfully, he had been distracted and had foreseen the fatal danger.

Before he finished his sentence, Li Yao's pupils had constricted to the minimum. Even the rainbow in his eyes turned black and white.

"Wait, wait. Honey, what do you mean by 'l'd rather believe that Long Yangjun and I have an ambiguous relationship'? What the hell is this? It's completely nonexistent!"

Li Yao shouted at the top of his lungs, "Long—Long Yangjun, right? Let me see. Oh, oh, oh, oh. The ugly, ugly, venomous, cruel, and malicious woman. No. I don't even know whether or not she is a woman. She and I are

not even friends. We are merely scheming against each other and sabotaging each other. Honey, what are you thinking about? Even if you don't have confidence in me, you should have some confidence in yourself. If

you are a delicious dish of dragon liver and phoenix marrow, then Long Yangjun is a dish of slop soup that has been moldy for three days. How can I abandon the delicious food and drink slop soup?"

"…Hmph, consider yourself to have reacted quickly and successfully passed. This time, I really believe you!"

Areal smile appeared on Ding Lingdang's face. She stuck her face to Li Yao's chest and listened to his heartbeat. "Honey, do you think your wife is bad?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Li Yao replied resolutely and righteously, "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 all brawn and no brains, 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 the universe is too vast, and we've experienced too many changes.

Ding Lingdang's body was even softer, but she hugged Li Yao even tighter and murmured 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 constantly changing. Core Formation Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, Divinity Transformation Stage, even Dividing Soul Stage, Material Life and Information Life… Everything is like a bizarre

explosion.

"In such a big explosion, can you and I really stick to our hearts, including our trust and love for each other?

"To put it bluntly, husband, you are too awesome right now. Even the primeval super crystal processors from hundreds of thousands of years ago were blown to pieces by your one punch. Even the three-pronged rise

f the federation, the imperium, and the Sanctuary Alliance can be said to be caused by you. I really don't know whether or not I can still consider you to be my old… exclusive man."

Don't be silly. Of course you can. Although I've become the best expert of the Pangu Universe, the saviors and superheroes of the federation, the imperium, and the federation, I will always be your husband. Our love

will never change!"

Li Yao said affectionately.

"Is that so…"

Ding Lingdang's voice and eyes turned solemn at the same time. Her body temperature continued to rise, and her tanned skin gradually turned into the color of honey. "Words are useless. Prove it?"

"Huh?"

Li Yao blinked. "How?"

"What do you think?"

Ding Lingdang stroked her snake-like hair, which was dancing crazily in the wind. Her long hair, which looked like the flames of a viper or the tentacles of a ferocious beast, was still crawling into Li Yao's arms

uncontrollably. "Don't worry. I've taken care of all the official business in advance and secured a precious seven-day vacation. | also told all the heroes that you had just woken up and that you would need some

restorative training. Therefore, it's inappropriate for you to meet any guests right now. We will be training in seclusion on this self-driving shuttle."

"Seven days and seven nights of seclusion?"

Li Yao took a deep breath and managed a smile. "Honey, listen to me—"

"What's there to say? I hate guys who talk big the most. The arrow is already on the bow and the city is about to be attacked. Are you still going to talk big?"

Ding Lingdang impatiently crawled forward to tear it apart. "Cut the crap. Just draw your weapons!".
