"Of course not, I bet Tao Ran has already been arrested by now."

Dan Shu shook his head and began discussing Tao Ran's topic with Ling Sha.

"Well, that's right."

Ling Sha found it strange. After Tao Ran was captured, she hadn't cared about him anymore, and she didn't think Dan Shu would care about Tao Ran's affairs now. This woman's heart was now completely occupied with Qiong.

"Did he tell you that everything he did was for the greater good, for the survival of the Vidyadhara clan?" Dan Shu continued.

"So what..."

Ling Sha didn't pay any attention and casually replied, but when she saw Dan Shu smiling, she suddenly realized that Tao Ran's biggest partner was this wicked woman in front of her.

"It seems you've already guessed it. Do you want to use your own body to give birth to Qiong's child?"

Dan Shu smiled and said to Ling Sha, but these words seemed like a devil's whisper. Ling Sha felt a shiver run down her spine. Now she knew why Dan Shu was able to gather so many people to create the Medicine King's Secret Manual. This ability to see into people's hearts was simply terrifying.

"You're talking nonsense! The Vidyadhara clan doesn't have that kind of ability at all!"

Ling Sha forced herself to remain calm and said that if anyone else had said this to her, she would have thought that person was crazy. But it was Dan Shu who was speaking, and Dan Shu's knowledge was far superior to hers. This was naturally referring specifically to matters concerning the Chiming Clan. To be honest, it was a little shameful that Ling Sha, a member of the Chiming Clan, knew less about her own clan than Dan Shu, this bad person.

"If there really isn't, why do the Vidyadharas distinguish between men and women? Wouldn't it be better to just remain gender-neutral forever? Why do female Vidyadharas have palaces for conceiving and raising children? Is it just so that you can bleed so much blood every month for nothing?"

Dan Shu posed a soul-searching question to Ling Sha, who was speechless for a moment. She had also studied why this was, but there was no clue to be found. She could only assume that it was the Creator's personal hobby.

"Based on my guess, the Vidyadharas should have been able to reproduce a long time ago, but I don't know when, some people sealed off this ability and instead reincarnated. It is difficult to create something from nothing, but if it is just to open up the old channels, I can still do it."

Dan Shu voiced her guess, which was indeed a relatively mainstream theory, but no one could prove it. However, now someone who could prove it had appeared: a despicable and shameless villain who had been plotting revenge against Xianzhou, and who had done it simply because he was commissioned by his employer.

Chapter 387 Who Says Vidyadharas Cannot Be Born?

"You... how is this possible?"

When Ling Sha heard Ling Sha say that she could really do it, she was completely flustered and could only stare at Dan Shu in shock.

"Don't forget, the object of my research is not an ordinary Vidyadhara, but a Dragon Lord."

Dan Shu said this, and Ling Sha couldn't refute it. The Dragon Lord might not be the strongest of the Vidyadhara clan, but he was certainly the most noble. A Vidyadhara of this status couldn't be studied casually. If some idle person were to say to a Dragon Lord, "Come be my research subject," it would be a complete violation of human rights. That person would be dried into cured meat in the Vidyadhara clan's territory the next day.

Therefore, Dan Shu's research conditions were unique and could not be replicated, which led to the acquisition of countless valuable materials, enabling him to complete this feat that shocked the Vidyadhara clan.

"Can you really do it? Then the Vidyadhara clan is saved?"

Ling Sha temporarily believed Dan Shu's words because she really had no reason to lie to herself. They weren't making a deal; they were just exchanging information out of respect for Qiong.

"Then you overestimate me, Ling Sha. I have only developed one pill, and it is still a prototype. Theoretically, it can be successful, but I have not asked Chi Ming to test it. Do you want to be my test subject?"

As Dan Shu spoke, he took out a square box from the sleeve of his alchemist's robe. Inside the box was a jade-colored bullet that emitted a faint fragrance. Ling Sha glanced at it but couldn't figure out its structure, which was a setback for an alchemy master.

"Are you kidding me? If something happens to me, how will you explain it to Qiong?"

After thinking for a moment, Ling Sha took the box from Dan Shu's hand with a knowing smile on her face. This woman always brings up Qiong, so she'll bring it up herself and she'll definitely be able to outwit her.

"Well, it seems that your appointment as the Chief Cauldron is not due to luck. After my numerous improvements, it will definitely enable the Vidyadharas to conceive. As for whether it has any effect on male Vidyadharas, I have no idea."

Upon hearing this, Dan Shu stopped joking with Ling Sha and accurately explained the effects of the medicine, which indeed appealed to Ling Sha.

"Mass production..."

Ling Sha said with great hesitation, wondering whether she should try it. If she gave it to the Dragon Lords of other Immortal Ships, what if they came up with a method for mass production? Then the dwindling number of Wisdom Clan members would truly be saved.

"Bring me a few members of the Vidyadhara clan?"

Dan Shu spoke bluntly, and Ling Sha's face darkened. Heaven knows what this wicked woman did to the Chiming clan during her research. In terms of responsibility, Dan Shu and Tao Ran are probably evenly matched.

"never mind."

Ling Sha put away the precious pill. She really didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain when she came to find Dan Shu. The main reason was that she was a member of the Chiming clan and a woman, so the pill was really effective for her. Ling Sha had also thought about having a child with her lover, but she had never mentioned it because it was impossible. What would be the point of bringing it up? It would only make her feel worse.

"If you take it now, you'll get pregnant if you're intimate with Qiong tonight."

Dan Shu's devilish whispers rang out again. Ling Sha looked at her hesitantly. She probably wanted to take her back for research, but if she missed this opportunity, she didn't know when she would see Qiong again, and how she would get pregnant with his child.

"No, I should take back what I said before. If you get pregnant while you're alone on the Immortal Ship, countless people will want to capture you and study you. Let's wait until next time."

Dan Shu suddenly shook her head and said that she felt she had misspoke. She had not considered Ling Sha's situation. Pregnancy was certainly a good thing, but for those bigwigs of the Chiming Clan with ulterior motives, if Ling Sha was really pregnant, she would definitely be imprisoned and studied. She knew all too well the darkness within the Chiming Clan.

"If I really do that, it will cause trouble for A-Qiong, won't it?"

Ling Sha also hesitated. She knew that if something happened to her, Qiong would definitely turn against the entire Chiming Clan. The Chiming Clan had a Celestial Boat General, and even if Jing Yuan wanted to help, he would be hindered.

"But I really want to have a child with Qiong. It's the only thing I can leave him with."

Ling Sha's expression gradually hardened. Her age was not considered old among the Chiming Clan, but it was certainly not young either. Once the lifespan of a Chiming Clan member was used up, they could only reincarnate, which was more painful than death. Once they died, they had nothing left. As for the lovers of the Chiming Clan, she was right there, perhaps even with the same appearance, but she had lost all her memories and emotions.

Ling Sha took out the pill from the box and swallowed it in one gulp. This meant that she had no way back. Even if the future was a thorny path, she was willing to walk it with Qiong. Moreover, there was something different from what she had imagined. She and Qiong were not unable to contact each other. If there was really no other way, she could call him back.

"You have a lot of guts."

Dan Shu admired Ling Sha's courage. Being a single mother is not easy, especially for a single mother from the Chiming Clan. Doing so would bring some trouble to Qiong, but so what? If asked for his opinion, he would definitely agree completely. He wished all his wives would have children for him.

"These are the records and research directions for the elixir. Take them back. If you can really mass-produce them, you will be a saint of the Vidyadhara clan."

Dan Shu handed Ling Sha a top-secret manuscript. Ling Sha's feelings towards her were completely different now. She was torn between two conflicting emotions. On one hand, it seemed that Ling Sha had truly been bribed by Dan Shu. In this situation, how could she still treat her as a wanted criminal? On the other hand, she had been taking Dan Shu's research results for free. Although she didn't care, Miss Chi Long had her pride.

"I'll give you mine too."

Ling Sha handed over all her years of hard work and records to Dan Shu. She had taken a completely different approach and developed a unique alchemy technique for the Chiming Clan. However, some of her insights and techniques were things that anyone could learn. Dan Shu carefully studied the manuscript Ling Sha had given him and nodded frequently. Indeed, no one who could become a Ding Master was simple. The two of them could really take a step further by discussing and learning from each other.

Qiong spent the afternoon being intimate with his two wives, Bronya and Seele. When they were tired and resting, Qiong talked to them about the martial arts ceremony. Luca's wonderful performance deserved praise and gave Yalilo VI a lot of publicity. It is likely that this place will be even busier in the future, and various supporting facilities for tourism need to be built as soon as possible. We can't let tourists come and sleep in tents. Fortunately, Belloborg is now very wealthy, and infrastructure construction is no longer a problem.

Chapter 388 is here.

That evening, Qiong met Ling Sha. Unlike her usual ordinary clothes, she dressed herself up to be incredibly charming, wearing a pink, semi-transparent silk nightgown. The transparency was specially adjusted so that you could see inside but not quite, creating a sense of mystery.

"Who bought this for you?"

Qiong was instantly smitten by Ling Sha's outfit. Anyone who wasn't moved in this situation would have a physical defect. Although Qiong was moved, she was also curious about who had made Ling Sha do this. You see, the Ling Sha used to be a very proper person. She was happy to be intimate with Qiong, but she would never have taken the initiative to wear such a killer outfit.

"The address Dan Shu gave me is just across the street from that lingerie store and her pharmacy."

Ling Sha clasped her hands together, covering her lower abdomen, and said embarrassedly. Although she had already been completely honest with Qiong, wearing this outfit was more shameful than not wearing anything at all. If Dan Shu hadn't said that this accessory could increase the probability of getting pregnant, she would never have worn it. After all, this was her only chance. If she missed it after taking this medicine, she would really have no hope in this life.

"Looks like you two had a good chat, even talking about things related to romance?"

Qiong looked at Ling Sha in surprise and asked. He knew his wife's personality. Although she wasn't exactly a righteous person, she did pursue justice. He had prepared himself for the harem to be in turmoil, but reality was completely different from what he had imagined.

“She is a sinner, and the victims of the Immortal Ship will never forgive her. But that’s how the world works. When her talent outweighs her crimes, even if she is captured, the victims will not be avenged. Instead, she will be kept alive, or even treated like royalty.”

Ling Sha shook her head helplessly and said that she had a bad temper, but that also meant she wouldn't get stuck on things. She would vent her dissatisfaction. After all the infighting in the Pill Cauldron Division, she had long understood many things. Given the outstanding abilities that Dan Shu had shown, this wanted criminal would definitely not be imprisoned in the Netherworld Prison. Those crazy Dragon Masters would probably want to worship her.

"So rather than letting her be used by those with ulterior motives again, it's better to let her stay here. With you supervising her, I can feel at ease."

Ling Sha voiced her thoughts, which coincided with Qiong's. In a sense, this was also a form of protection, since the various powerful forces within the Immortal Ship were not of one mind.

"Okay, that puts my mind at ease. Honey, come quick."

Qiong felt an itch in her heart, like being scratched by a cat's claws, and she was about to eat the spirit sand on the spot, but she raised her hand to stop the hand that reached out to touch her.

“Wait, I have a question for you,” Ling Sha said.

"You've even learned to tease your husband, don't you think?"

Qiong didn't stop what he was doing, but simply held Ling Sha in his arms around her slender waist, using her fragrance to calm his anxiety.

"Do you want to have a child with me?"

"Of course I want to, I dream about it, but your body isn't..."

Qiong looked at Lingsha in surprise, not understanding why she asked such a question. When they confessed their feelings to each other before, Lingsha had mentioned that she was unable to have children, telling Qiong not to regret it.

"I'm just asking, just in case I am pregnant."

Ling Sha looked at Qiong with tender eyes, and Qiong realized that the answer she wanted was not her question, but a heartfelt answer.

"Well, it's good that you have this idea. Once you have a child, you can come to Yalilo VI. I'm afraid you'll be mistreated on the Immortal Ship."

Qiong hugged Ling Sha and said with a smile, seeing his expression and his hope for the future, Ling Sha knew that she had not chosen the wrong person.

"Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

"What do I have to be afraid of? There's an old saying in Xianzhou: 'A woman follows her husband wherever he goes,' and since you've married me, it's only natural for me to take you away. Who's going to stop me?"

Qiong said confidently. If Jing Yuan heard this, his blood pressure would probably rise again. He had finally found a kind, law-abiding alchemist who did not do bad things, and now he wanted to kidnap him. He was so inhuman.

"You still love to argue so stubbornly."

Ling Sha had long been used to Qiong's nature, but without realizing it, she had also fallen in love with this man who always acted recklessly. She took Qiong's hand, slipped it under his dress, passed over his beautiful thighs, and placed it on his soft belly.

"My husband, we want your child here."

Ling Sha's provocation made Qiong feel as if he had received a blessing of attack speed from a simulated universe. He lost his mind in an instant and gave Ling Sha everything she wanted. When they were exhausted from fighting, Ling Sha took out her pills and swallowed them. She was determined to fight Qiong to the end. Under the combined impact of quantity and quality, the effects of the pills were fully exerted. In a place where neither of them could see, a tiny life was born as expected.

Qiong spent a few days being intimate with his wives on Yalilo VI. The next battle was the Black Tower Space Station. Qiong felt that he always ended up back in the space station. He didn't need to come back this time, but Tingyun was irresponsibly abandoned here by Ruan Mei, so Qiong had to come and take her away, and then go for a stroll on the Grand Meeting Star.

Robin had sent an invitation to Sora earlier. Pinocchio had already recovered from the disaster that caused Sunday and was currently holding a celebration. That being said, Robin secretly revealed in the end of her message that she missed Sora and wanted him to keep her company. Sora could not resist such intentions and was determined to go this time.

However, Qiong wasn't selfish. She still asked the elders on the train for their opinion. They had been exhausted from searching for the remains of the ancient beasts, and if nothing unexpected happened during the Star Gathering, they would be happy to go on vacation.

At this moment, the mysterious veiled woman made her move again. She used tarot cards to divine that there would be no problems with the trip. The train crew members, who had been hanging in the air, completely gave up. But that's how pioneers are. Even if the cards say there is danger ahead, they cannot back down. Otherwise, how can they inherit the will of pioneering? At least Pinocene and the others are familiar with it, which is safer than those unknown star systems.

Ling Sha did not leave with Qiong. She chose to stay on Yalilo VI for a while longer before taking the Star Destroyer back to Luofu. Qiong was unaware of what she and Dan Shu were plotting, but he was relieved that the meeting between the two, the old and the new, would mostly be an academic exchange if they did not fight.

Chapter 389 Reunion with Tingyun

In the light of the train's leap, Qiong bid farewell to her family and arrived at the traction area of ​​the space station in the blink of an eye. It was the same familiar platform. The Starry Sky Train slowly drove into the port and docked, entering the gravity zone of the space station.

"Qiong boy."

A warm call made Qiong look ahead. The youthful and beautiful Estella came running over. Qiong looked at her and was a little dazed. Every time he returned to the space station, Estella seemed to come to greet him. The difference was that at first she came to greet the train crew and her attitude towards Qiong was ambiguous. But as their feelings deepened, Estella went from being passive to being proactive, and now she was throwing herself at him.

"Isn't this my most beautiful girlfriend, Estádio? Give me a kiss!"

Qiong hugged Estella and said with great emotion, "We've finally waited for this day." He knew that Estella's heart had long been given to him, and he was naturally extremely happy to have the stationmaster like her so much.

"Ugh, you're always trying to take advantage of others."

Estella complained, but still turned her cheek to Sora, waiting for him to kiss her. Sora was overjoyed to see the cute Estella and immediately gave her a hard kiss on the cheek.

Estella responded with a simple kiss from Sora. This is how couples in love interact. She was actually very happy to have met a boyfriend like Sora at the age when she should have had her first love. Apart from being a womanizer, he was perfect in every way.

"Although I'd love to catch up with you, I'm here on business. I need to go to Nguyen Mai's lab. Do you know there's a patient there?"

Qiong reluctantly let go of Aista and said that the downside of having a little girlfriend is that she is too small. He can only look at her but not touch her. He can't do anything too outrageous to her now. However, Qiong had a different opinion. He had even slept with Yun Li and Fu Xuan. Aista, no matter how small, couldn't be smaller than those two, right?

"Yes, I know her. She's been out and about before, so of course there are records of it on the space station."

Estella nodded and said that Ruan Mei had long since treated the Black Tower Space Station as her own home, bringing people in without any notification. The Great Black Tower had no idea what she was doing, and of course, Estella couldn't know either. However, it was already good that she was rescuing people this time, and that no insect king had been created. Ruan Mei always cleaned up the mess properly no matter what she did, so the Great Black Tower didn't bother with her.

Led by Aista, Qiong arrived at the familiar Ruan Mei Laboratory. There were many different cabins here. Qiong and Ruan Mei used the largest one as their wedding room, and there were some smaller ones next to it. When they arrived at the cabin where Ting Yun was, Qiong was really at a loss for words. This cabin was only a few dozen steps away from his wedding room. If he had been more curious, he would have come here long ago after having dinner to digest, but he just hadn't done that before.

"Miss Tingyun, I'm coming in."

As Aista spoke, she swiped her card to open the cabin and walked in with Qiong. Qiong immediately saw the beautiful fox-woman with whom he had consummated their marriage, but he was stunned. This Tingyun was different from the one he remembered. The change was not drastic, but it was obvious.

First, there's the difference in clothing. The dress, which was originally predominantly red, has been changed to predominantly black, and the hem is also longer. Tingyun used to wear long stockings on her calves, but now she has nothing on her legs, and being barefoot makes her legs look even longer, giving the illusion that she has grown up.

"Benefactor."

Upon seeing Qiong, Tingyun rose to greet him, having not forgotten the etiquette of the Immortal Ship. However, Qiong was momentarily stunned by her address of "benefactor." When he heard this title come from the same person again, he felt a mix of emotions.

Who is she calling?

Qiong asked Aistar, knowing that Tingyun didn't recognize him and certainly wouldn't consider him her benefactor.

"After the child woke up, he called everyone he met his benefactor."

Aistar explained, leaving Qiong speechless. No wonder Ruan Mei wouldn't let Tingyun return to the Immortal Ship immediately; it turned out the settings weren't complete yet.

"It's broken!"

Qiong complained, but Tingyun smiled at him, and her beautiful smile made Qiong fall into a daze again.

“Nguyen Mai En Gong mentioned to me that he was the one who came to take me out for a walk. I’ve been traveling all over this place lately and I’m already bored. Isn’t he the one who’s willing to take me away?”

Tingyun's logic was clear, and her speech was fluent, showing no signs of being broken. This relieved Qiong; his wife was truly amazing, even as a doctor she had such talent.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Tingyun. My name is Qiong. I also have a wife on the Immortal Ship, so I'm practically your relative."

Qiong introduced himself to Tingyun for the second time. He had been very proactive the first time, but now he seemed to have wilted and didn't even touch her hand.

"This humble woman greets Lord Qiong En."

Tingyun smiled and bowed again. Qiong's words shortened the distance between the two. It was indeed a relaxing feeling for someone who was far from home to see relatives.

"Excuse me, was your tail black before?"
