Ren Jian's submissive behavior infuriated Ji Shiyou, who had never encountered such a shameless person.
Ming Yue was so embarrassed by his nonsensical words that she didn't know how to respond.
Ren Jian, that scoundrel, continued to pester them. Ji Shiyou silently walked behind Ren Jian.
He raised his Purple Gold Hammer high and swung it fiercely at Ren Jian's backside.
Ji Shiyou unleashed his power ability to its maximum. The Purple Gold Hammer was heavy and powerful, directly sending Ren Jian flying.
His muscular body shot out like a cannonball from the mountainside of Yunmeng Mountain, directly through the sea of clouds.
He let out a high-pitched scream. When he landed, his body smashed a deep pit into the hard ground.
This was only possible because Ren Jian possessed the Beast Transformation ability, was at a high level, and had an extraordinary physique.
Otherwise, Ji Shiyou's hammer blow would have either killed him or left him incapacitated, reliant on a wheelchair.
"Ji Shiyou, we're family, there's no need to go for the kill, is there?
You're the elder, I'm the younger. You're the main wife.
To fight for favor, you're trying to kill me? You lack the magnanimity of a primary wife."
Ren Jian crawled out of the dust-filled pit, patted the dirt off his backside, and intended to go back and argue with Ji Shiyou.
However, he found he couldn't re-enter the sea of clouds. He shouted until his throat was hoarse, but no one paid him any attention.
Ren Jian's eyes darted around, and he had an idea. He turned and left.
After violently sending Ren Jian away, Ji Shiyou gave Wen Qing an understanding look, and the two of them departed.
Ji Shiyou felt that his proposal needed to happen soon, and the date should be moved up.
So, he went to discuss it with Wen Qing. He was anxious. Besides Zhao Wumian, Ren Jian had now appeared.
Prolonged delays could be dangerous. Ming Yue was so outstanding; perhaps in a few more days,
there would be Zhang Wumian, Wang Wumian, Li Jian, and Zhao Jian appearing.
A convoy of vehicles departed from Qinglong Base. In the lead vehicle sat Zhao Wumian and Yue You, speeding towards Yunmeng Mountain.
"Stop!"
When they were still seventy to eighty li away from Yunmeng Mountain, Zhao Wumian, who had been resting with his eyes closed in the back seat, suddenly shouted for them to stop.
A sharp glint shot from his eyes. Yue You stopped the car without asking any questions.
Zhao Wumian pushed open the car door and, with a flash of movement, ran towards the mountain on the right.
Yue You followed behind, but being an ordinary person, he lagged far behind.
By the time he caught up, he saw Zhao Wumian with his brows furrowed, staring at a green lotus, over three meters tall, ahead.
"Leader, what is this? Is it a lotus? Why is it so big?"
Yue You was a calm person, capable of remaining unfazed even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.
But upon seeing the giant green lotus emitting a faint green glow, he couldn't help but ask.
"Cuiwei! It should be at Yuncheng Base. I don't know how it got here."
Zhao Wumian's expression was difficult to read. He not only recognized the green lotus but also knew where it should be.
The appearance of the green lotus here seemed unbelievable to him, and his face showed a hint of anger.
"Cuiwei? What is that?"
Yue You was uncharacteristically talkative today. The key was that he thought he knew everything about Zhao Wumian.
Today, he realized there was much he didn't know about Zhao Wumian.
"Xian Ning Cuiwei Peak, floating light enters the vast ocean.
Soaring up, the sand rises, the mountains play, Wang Shu is far away."
Zhao Wumian didn't look at Yue You. He simply recited a poem, as if answering Yue You's question, or perhaps speaking to himself.
"What does that mean?"
Yue You was bewildered. He felt their usual tacit understanding had vanished. He had no idea what Zhao Wumian was talking about.
"Yue You, you're being a bit too talkative today. Know your place."
Zhao Wumian gave Yue You a cold glance and walked towards the green lotus, placing his hand on its tightly closed petals.
A flicker of pain crossed Yue You's pale face, and he clenched his fists tightly.
Gritting his teeth, he stood rooted to the spot, not following.
The power of the mountains and rivers on the green lotus did not resist Zhao Wumian's approach. Instead, it accepted him.
When Zhao Wumian's hand made contact, the closed petals of the green lotus unfurled, revealing Yin Qing, who was unconscious inside.
"Yin Qing?"
Seeing Yin Qing inside the green lotus, Zhao Wumian was somewhat surprised, but he didn't pay attention to Yin Qing for the moment.
He sent a beam of light from his hand, intending to collect the green lotus first before investigating the reason for its departure from Yuncheng.
With a flash of light, the three-meter-tall green lotus rapidly shrank, becoming palm-sized.
Zhao Wumian extended his hand, expecting the green lotus to fly directly into it as it had before.
However, it did not. The green lotus transformed into a green light and disappeared.
"Recognized its master? What exactly happened? Yin Qing has become the master of Cuiwei."
Noticing the green lotus pattern on Yin Qing's forehead, Zhao Wumian understood. The green lotus had recognized Yin Qing as its master.
They were now one. Zhao Wumian had no choice but to bend down and pick up Yin Qing.
"Convoy, turn around and return to the base."
Passing by Yue You, Zhao Wumian said in a deep voice, then got into the car with Yin Qing.
"Yes, Leader."
Yue You's voice was as usual, without any change. However, a cold glint reflected on his glasses.
Yunmeng Mountain
Ming Yue felt that everyone was acting strangely that morning. They were all secretive, but she couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
After breakfast, she returned to her room and decided to check out her spatial dimension.
Last time, because the baby accidentally ingested a Transformation Pill and due to the mutated animal incident, she hadn't finished exploring the Jade Pendant Space.
"Sister Ming Yue, it's bad! Something's happened to the farmland."
Just then, Tian Shang ran into her room, her expression anxious, indicating the seriousness of the situation.
"What happened?"
The thousand acres of crops at the foot of the mountain were now the pillar industry of the base. Ming Yue quickly got up and asked nervously.
"Oh, Sister Ming Yue, it's hard to explain in a few words.
You should go and see for yourself. You'll know when you get there."
Tian Shang didn't explain the reason. She pulled Ming Yue out of the room and they ran down the mountain.
"Nothing's wrong? What exactly happened?"
Looking at the lush growth of various crops, Ming Yue was confused. Didn't Tian Shang say something had happened?
Why couldn't she see anything unusual? So, she silently activated her Heavenly Sight and Earthly Hearing.
She discovered that Ji Shiyou and a few others, along with people from the base, were all gathered behind the cornfield.
That area was where the wheat fields were. The wheat had just been harvested, and no new crops had been sown yet, so it was an empty plot.
However, there were now many decorations. Flowers and ribbons adorned the area, making it beautifully decorated.
Ji Shiyou was dressed up, holding a bouquet of flowers, his face filled with excitement.
"With such a grand setup, is there a major event happening that I don't know about?
Or is Ji Shiyou proposing?"
Ming Yue secretly speculated, stopping in her tracks. She had a rough idea.
She understood Tian Shang's urgent intention in bringing her here without explaining the reason.
