"Then let your father do the calculation."

Madam Fu smiled and said that it was naturally most appropriate for parents to calculate the marriage in the Jade Palace. If the calculation showed that the marriage was not suitable, they would have an excuse to send Qiong away. This would not be considered breaking up a couple in the Jade Palace.

Master Fu immediately perked up. He wanted to use all his knowledge to calculate that Qiong and Fu Xuan's birth charts were incompatible, and then quickly get rid of this glaring poor boy. How could someone with such a character want to be the Fu family's son-in-law? He was truly shameless.

Master Fu took out his professional measuring tools and compared the junk in Qiong's hands with the difference between a mansion and a shack. Then he asked about Qiong's birthday, and Qiong naturally replied that it was the day his mother and aunt stuffed him into his body at the space station. It was the day he met Huang Quan, and Qiong could never forget it.

There were quite a few things to test, so Mr. Fu couldn't just ask about her birthday and be done with it. He also asked Qiong some strange questions, such as what she liked to eat, whether she tossed and turned in her sleep, and how often she took a bath. Qiong felt that her father-in-law was just asking about her lifestyle, and she answered truthfully.

When Master Fu placed Qiong and Fu Xuan's birth dates and times on the fortune-telling tool that resembled a scale for comparison, the scale emitted a golden light, as if it had produced some legendary item. The light was so bright that it was blinding. Master Fu stared blankly at the words that appeared on the scale.

"The Red Phoenix Star enters my destiny, the Red Phoenix Star moves—how is this possible?"

Master Fu almost ripped out his long black hair. He looked at the result in disbelief, then looked at Qiong, clearly suspecting that the kid had tampered with it. But Qiong just scratched his face, looking silly, which didn't seem like he would do anything.

Master Fu began to doubt his professional skills. The result was exactly the same as Qiong's, which meant that his skills had also become those of an amateur, something he could not accept. So he changed his posture and tested it again, but the result was still the same.

"Master, let me do it."

Seeing that her husband's calculations consistently yielded the same result, Madam Fu grew impatient and joined in the calculations herself, but the result remained unchanged. It was as if the two of them were locked together, inseparable from each other. The two elders spent a long time calculating, sweating profusely, but still couldn't come up with any other results.

"It's getting late, how about we do it tomorrow?"

Seeing that the two elders also felt tired for them, Qiong made a suggestion. The two elders looked at him at the same time, and their gazes had changed from unfamiliar and suspicious to full of goodwill.

"Good son-in-law, have you had dinner yet? If not, I'll have the kitchen make you something."

Master Fu changed his attitude towards Qiong, looking at him as if he were his own son, and Madam Fu did the same.

"Yes, good son-in-law, please don't hesitate to tell me if you need anything."

The two elders looked at Qiong with fervent eyes, as if he were already a member of the Fu family. This left the well-informed Qiong completely bewildered. He felt that these two elders were not fortune tellers, but rather people who cast spells. Who had put a curse on him?

"This...this seems like a completely different person?"

Qiong asked blankly, and Fu Xuan came to his side, tugged at his sleeve, and gestured for him to bend down and lean closer to listen to his whispers. Qiong then bent down and got close to Fu Xuan's mouth.

"They all have a deep belief in fortune telling and their own ability to calculate. This leads them to absolutely believe in the results they have calculated. If they don't even believe in themselves, they are just walking corpses. At this point, although they may still have dissatisfaction and doubts about you, they cannot doubt the results they have calculated. When the two things conflict, the priority of the calculation takes over."

Fu Xuan explained to Qiong that, to Qiong, the two elders sounded like a human-machine interface, but in reality, this was how most people in the Jade Palace reacted to the calculation results. Fate is irresistible; to resist it is to defy the heavens, and no one would do something so suicidal.

Chapter 371 Underlying Code

"I understand now. So that's how the underlying code is written. The people of Jade Palace are really interesting."

Qiong grinned. He had always believed that he and Fu Xuan were a match made in heaven, and it was probably this confidence that caused the calculation results. The way the underlying code was written really helped him a lot.

"Are you like this too?" Qiong asked Fu Xuan again.

"Ha, if I were that kind of person, you wouldn't have seen me. I traveled thousands of miles to take up a post in Luofu, and I would rather die than believe the results of this divination."

Fu Xuan chuckled self-deprecatingly, then fell silent with a serious expression. Qiong knew she might have asked something she shouldn't have, reminding her of unhappy memories, so she immediately hugged her.

"I understand, she's definitely my wife."

Qiong kissed Fu Xuan on the cheek, and Fu Xuan immediately rolled his eyes at him and pushed him away. His parents-in-law saw this scene. Although they were furious inside, they looked kind on the surface and seemed to approve of Qiong being with Fu Xuan now.

“Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, it’s getting late. I’d like to have some time alone with Fu Xuan to talk. Let’s go to her room.”

Qiong put her arm around Fu Xuan's shoulder and said to the two elders in front of her, "They wanted to stop her, but they thought that their daughter's happiness in this life depended on Qiong. If they didn't go along with him, what if he didn't want Fu Xuan anymore? Then their daughter's life would be ruined. So they could only nod and agree to let Qiong go to Fu Xuan's room. Maybe the two of them would even spend the night together, but this was something they couldn't stop."

"Is there still such an operation?"

Yun Li watched all of this from an outsider's perspective, feeling like her brain was about to explode. Qiong had just bought some random junk items from the street, and they actually worked! He'd really managed to fool his wife! These Jade Palace people were truly morbid. As an outsider, Yun Li never believed in fate. No wonder the various immortal ships in the Immortal Ship Alliance often slandered each other. She also realized that people couldn't understand each other.

Fu Xuan reluctantly led Qiong to her usual residence, a courtyard within the mansion with its own gate and garden. Fu Xuan lived in one of the main houses, while there were some empty rooms next to it, which were used by her friends to stay overnight.

"So, who is this kid?"

Fu Xuan returned to the seat of honor in the room and glanced at Yun Li, who had followed him in, and asked her. She had noticed this unfamiliar child long ago, but had not had the chance to ask her before. She felt that she was probably one of Qiong's maids, but something didn't seem quite right.

"Her name is Yun Li, and she is my wife."

Qiong earnestly introduced Yun Li's identity to Fu Xuan, and Yun Li smiled happily. She liked hearing Qiong say that she was his wife in front of others, so that no one could destroy the relationship between the two of them.

"Wife...you won't even spare a child like this?"

Fu Xuan looked at Qiong in surprise and asked, as if it was the first time he had ever known that she was still a beast, that she could even lay a hand on a girl with a figure like that.

"Xuan'er, could you look at yourself and say it again?"

Qiong sighed helplessly. Everyone else could say that about her, but Fu Xuan couldn't. She knew perfectly well that she had fallen in love with her at first sight. If she could marry someone with a figure like Fu Xuan, why couldn't she marry Yun Li?

"Don't call me by my nickname. Of course I'm different. I'm the Grand Diviner, the one who will succeed to the position of General. How can we be the same?"

Fu Xuan glared at Qiong with dissatisfaction and said that this was a complete disregard for her body size as a child, and this differential treatment made Yun Li unhappy as well.

"I don't see anything special about you; your breasts aren't even as big as mine."

Yun Li straightened her chest and said to Fu Xuan, although she couldn't tell who was bigger, she had someone to help her massage, and maybe it would get bigger as she massaged, while Fu Xuan didn't have anyone to help him.

"Kid, what did you say!"

Fu Xuan was immediately enraged when a child mocked her figure. She was the Grand Diviner, and no one except Qiong dared to speak to her like that. Today, she was going to teach this arrogant brat a lesson.

"I'll say it, I'll say it."

Yun Li glared at Fu Xuan defiantly. She had never been afraid of anyone in her life. Despite being about the same size as him, he refused to cooperate with outsiders and instead chose to harm his own compatriots. Qiong was speechless.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing. Her grandfather is General Huaiyan. Give him some face."

Qiong gave Fu Xuan a look and said that Fu Xuan was also a little surprised when she heard about General Huaiyan. She didn't know much about the Zhu Ming Immortal Boat, and of course she couldn't tell that Yun Li was adopted.

"So she was from Zhu Mingxianzhou?"

Fu Xuan looked Yun Li over again and decided to give General Huaiyan some face and not hold a grudge against the child.

"Li'er, Fu Xuan and I have been separated for a long time, and I have a lot to say. Why don't you go and rest in the room next door?"

Qiong suddenly took out a lot of snacks he bought in Luofu and handed them to Yun Li. Yun Li was very dissatisfied with his behavior of coaxing a child, but she also knew that Qiong had come for the woman in front of her. For Qiong's sake, she was willing to be sensible for once. She took the snacks and left, but made a face at Fu Xuan before leaving.

"This brat has a terrible temper. Why do you like him?"

Fu Xuan felt that she was absolutely right to say that Yun Li was a child. Even Qing Que wouldn't be so childish. Now she doubted Qiong's judgment.

"She even hit me, but before I developed feelings for her, she fell in love with me first, and then we got together."

Qiong grabbed Fu Xuan's hand and explained with a smile. Fu Xuan was also a little surprised to hear this. Qiong actually had the experience of being liked by girls without pursuing them. Then she had to question Yun Li's intelligence.

"Your skills in lying to children are impressive."

Fu Xuan thought for a moment and said, but she inadvertently included herself in her words. Wasn't Qiong the one who tricked her with a combination of shamelessness and deception?

Qiong didn't speak, but moved closer to Fu Xuan. She seemed to sense something as well. Seeing his deep gaze, the Grand Diviner immediately panicked. She retreated repeatedly, shrinking into the large chair. But at this moment, she had nowhere to retreat. Then she remembered that she had the ability to protect herself, so she quickly activated her secret technique, creating a purple barrier around her and keeping Qiong outside.

It wasn't that Fu Xuan disliked Qiong anymore, but they had been apart for quite some time, and she was still rather reserved, unable to immediately get into the mood. If Qiong were to hug and kiss her now, she wouldn't know what to do. If she gave in, she would definitely be devoured. So she tried her best to resist, and whether it would work or not was another matter.

Chapter 372 The Harem is Full of Talented People

Qiong was amused by Fu Xuan's attempt to block him. He had thought that the first barrier between him and Fu Xuan was three inches below her navel, but he didn't expect it to be this.

Qiong was isolated from Fu Xuan and could not enter. She did not insist, but took out a cup of hot milk tea from the Rift Space and placed it on the table.

"Take a look! This is Luofu's specialty, Fairy Happiness Tea. One kiss for every cup."

Qiong opened the cup lid and fanned the aroma of the milk tea towards Fu Xuan. The Grand Diviner smelled the familiar scent and subconsciously licked his lips.

"Hmph, do you think I'm a child? This thing thinks it can trick me into kissing you?"

Fu Xuan crossed her arms and turned her head away from the cup of milk tea. She had brought back a lot of Luofu specialties when she came back, but they had all been eaten up over time. What Qiong brought now was exactly what she needed most.

What if I add a spoonful of sugar?

Qiong took out a box of special white sugar for milk tea, opened it, and used a spoon to add some of the white sugar to the milk tea. This sugar is different from the sugar used in cooking; it is specially made by the manufacturer to enhance the flavor and sweetness of milk tea, and can be described as a heartbreaker for young girls.

Fu Xuan lowered his hands, his gaze fixed on Qiong adding sugar to her milk tea. One spoonful wasn't enough, so Qiong added another. He really had her preferences firmly under his control. Fu Xuan pursed his lips, removed the barrier around him, and prepared to get the milk tea.

"Miss, we haven't exchanged anything yet."

Qiong stopped Fu Xuan's hand, pointed to her lips and said, "Fu Xuan probably never dreamed that she would exchange her purity, which she had guarded for so many years, for a cup of milk tea. But if something like this happens once, it will happen again." She glared at Qiong, and thinking that they had already kissed before, she gave up on herself.

Fu Xuan moved closer to Qiong, her soft lips touching his. She had intended to just give him a fleeting, light touch, but Qiong pressed down on the back of her head, blocking her escape route. Fu Xuan was forced to stay close to Qiong. At first, she resisted, but as time passed, she resigned herself to her fate. When Qiong tried to penetrate her, she slightly opened her mouth to cooperate. After that came Qiong's happiest moment.

"Fu Xuan, you are so kind."

After kissing Fu Xuan, Qiong held her contentedly in his arms. Although the fortune-telling results were quite good, Qiong trusted his own feelings more. A woman's body doesn't lie when she loves him. He had just felt it, and Fu Xuan loved him so much.

"Don't give me that, you're not the only one with me anyway."

Fu Xuan said irritably that Qiong always felt embarrassed whenever someone mentioned the number of his harem members. After all, he was the only one for his wives, but his wives were just one of his many wives, and there was nothing to refute about that.

"Wife, have some tea."

Qiong quickly picked up the milk tea and handed it to Fu Xuan, feeding her. Seeing how carefully he served her, Fu Xuan didn't make things difficult for him anymore and drank it in small sips.

"Do you still often have headaches? I've been worried about your headaches ever since I left the Immortal Ship, but I can't find a good way to relieve this pain for you."

Qiong hugged Fu Xuan and stroked her forehead, saying that he could feel the unevenness there. Every time he thought about how she was in pain, Qiong felt bad. There was still so little he could do for her.

"It's nothing, I'm used to it."

Fu Xuan's gaze softened. She had only mentioned her physical condition once, and if Qiong were heartless, he would have forgotten about it long ago. She didn't expect him to still care about her. She was content with that.

"Why are you doing this? Wait a minute, let me ask a professional."

Qiong wanted Fu Xuan to stop wearing that broken ball, but he figured she wouldn't be happy about it. However, Qiong couldn't do anything about it, but he had so many wives, all of whom were talented, so he could always find a way.

Fu Xuan looked at Qiong strangely as she took out a doll from the Rift Space. The doll was quite exquisite, and Fu Xuan felt that it would be good for divination, but he felt that Qiong would not be so stupid as to ask the doll for help.

"Wife, are you there? Wife."

Qiong shook the Black Tower doll's shoulders and called out twice. Fu Xuan was stunned when she heard this. This person was actually calling the doll his wife. Could he be that thirsty? Or did he have some strange fetish? What should she do then?

Just as Fu Xuan was worrying about his future, the doll in front of him slowly opened its eyes. Its purple eyes were bright and sparkling, and it looked very cute. Its figure was also similar to Fu Xuan's, which made it feel somewhat familiar.

"What are you doing, disturbing this genius's research in broad daylight? If you don't tell me something interesting, I'll beat you up."

The Black Tower Doll said to Qiong in an annoyed tone, although she often missed Qiong, she never took the initiative to contact him again through the doll. Firstly, it was a matter of face, and secondly, even though she was a Commander, projecting her consciousness from such a distance would consume her energy. Such consumption would be astronomical in the eyes of ordinary people, and only she could use it.

"Wife, do me a favor. Look, there's another learned man here."

Qiong didn't just call her because she thought Daheita was capable of helping Fu Xuan. Fu Xuan had also met Doctor Zun's woman, and Daheita was the Wisdom Envoy. These two would definitely be able to discuss some things together.

"Ok?"

The Black Tower doll looked at Fu Xuan with suspicion. The two had no prior relationship, and the Great Black Tower naturally did not know the Grand Diviner. However, she immediately noticed something from the Dharma Eye on Fu Xuan's head.

"That's interesting. That machine head actually gave you this thing. Is it fun?"

The black tower puppet showed interest and immediately revealed the origin of the magic eye on Fu Xuan's forehead. Fu Xuan was also filled with respect, sensing that the person behind the puppet was no ordinary person.

"Your words are too frivolous; this is not a toy."

Fu Xuan said with a serious expression. This was the first time she had ever seen someone dare to call the Star God a machine head. Although it was not wrong, it was too disrespectful.

"But in the eyes of this genius, it's just a toy," the Black Tower puppet said arrogantly.

"Who exactly are you?" Fu Xuan asked.

“Qiong boy, tell her who I am.”

The Great Black Tower raised its head, disdainfully refusing to introduce its identity, and gave the opportunity to Qiong to show off. Qiong knelt down on one knee, spread its arms in an exaggerated gesture, and began to introduce itself earnestly.

"The great intellectual envoy who embodies wisdom, beauty, cuteness, youth, playfulness, and perfection—Ms. Black Tower!"

"uh-huh."

The Black Tower doll emitted a pleasant sound. "Kiyoko's words are still very pleasant. It's no wonder I like him so much." Then, it sent these words to the fully automated program that praised the doll.

Chapter 373 You're right, but that's what genius is all about.

"The Black Tower of the Genius Club? The Intellectual Envoy...did he just call you 'wife'?"

Fu Xuan stared in astonishment at the Black Tower puppet in front of her. She had heard of the Black Tower's great name before. After all, there were only a few Wisdom Commanders, and anyone with a little status knew them, just in case she accidentally offended these geniuses.

Just how terrifying are the people from the Genius Club? To put it simply, even the generals of the Immortal Ship, who are all hunting envoys, still treat the people from the Genius Club with utmost respect, welcoming them as honored guests. Keep in mind that these are just numbered geniuses, not intellectual envoys, let alone beings like the Black Tower.

"In this genius's long life, I have to experience everything. I gave him my first love, so I should be grateful."

The Black Tower puppet waved its hand dismissively, glossing over Fu Xuan's question.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Qiong also acted gratefully. He felt thankful to any woman who was willing to be his wife. After all, there were so many men in the world, and they chose him. Naturally, he should thank them properly.

"That's ridiculous! Did they save the galaxy?"
