Tang Xiao, who had just come out of Su Rou's room, raised his eyebrows immediately when he sensed the movement of someone new in the Ouyang house and checked it out. However, he was a little surprised after finding out that the person was Hong Yi, and she was sneaking into Ouyang Ming's room, but he immediately ignored her and went back to his room. 'Apparently, it was my big sister who ordered her to do something about him.'
[Hehe, you are right, master. My mistress ordered Hong Yi to do something to Ouyang Ming, but it wasn't anything fatal, and he would still suffer from it.]
'What does my big sister want to do to him?'
[My mistress found a liquid made from a mixture of Arctic Hares beast blood and several types of herbs in the treasury vault, and it will make Ouyang Ming's body temperature fluctuate. Sometimes he will feel piercing cold, but sometimes he will feel excessive heat, and the effect will last quite a long time.]
Tang Xiao nodded in understanding and didn't mind it; he felt that it wasn't an exaggeration, and it was almost no different from an ordinary disease. 'Do you have anything I can use against Ouyang Qing? After all, I still don't know about herbs and stuff, so I don't know if there are any items I can use on her.'
[Actually, there is one pill that is suitable for that, Master. Ouyang Qing will feel an extreme itching after she swallows it, which will cause many lumps of pus to appear on her body, but the effect will work slowly. That's why I think it will be suitable for you to use on her, and no one will suspect you because the effect will be similar to smallpox.]
'Is your old master an alchemist?'
[No, my old master was a fighting maniac, and he was never interested in alchemy. That's why he created some equipment for concocting pills and various other things, and he got all the recipes from his old friend.]
'Please get the pill, and I will use it on Ouyang Qing directly.'
[All right.]
After he arrived at his room, Tang Xiao went into the ark to get the pill, but he immediately came out again and used the Void Dragon Steps to sneak into the room of Ouyang Qing, who was sleeping soundly.
'Heh! Since I can't do anything to you now, I will use this pill to teach you a small lesson.' After that, Tang Xiao carefully put the pill into Ouyang Qing's mouth before using his qi to dissolve it and spread it throughout her body, and he went straight back to his room again afterward. 'Enjoy it, little bitch!'
Early the next morning, Tang Xiao drove Yi An and Su Rou to a hotel to attend a meeting, and she told her that the meeting would last quite a long time. That's why he didn't wait there and entered the ark straight away, and he went straight to the training ground to practice using the gravity device again, especially since he still couldn't fully adapt to double gravity.

At Tang House, Tang Yin and Tang Yuan listen to Hong Yi's report that she has successfully carried out her duties, and she then orders her to keep an eye on Ouyang Ming. After her paternal aunt went to work, she went straight into the ark, but she didn't meet Tang Xiao and went to see Zhao Yixuan instead.
When she arrived there, Tang Yin saw Zhao Yuxian acting like a crazy person, and her eyes were swollen because she had been crying since last night, so she took her to the lab and asked Xiao Ai to recover her condition.
After her condition completely recovered, Tang Yin gave several sets of clothes to her, especially since she wanted to take Zhao Yuxian to meet her twin daughters, but one of the clothes was a maid outfit like the one she gave to two other women, and she also explained a few things to her maternal aunt, which made her sigh heavily.
However, Zhao Yuxian was shocked when Tang Yin took her to the dining room, especially after she saw Jessica and Yu Xiaoling, who were preparing several dishes at the table.
"Like you, they are our prisoners and servants, and their fate in the outside world is no better than yours, so the three of you will work together to help us." Tang Yin said that as she sat in the head seat at the head of the dining table. "All right, you guys can sit and have breakfast with me, and I will take Zhao Yuxian away after this."
As they enjoyed their breakfast, Yu Xiaoling and Jessica kept glancing at Zhao Yuxian, and they naturally knew that she was Tang Xiao's maternal aunt, but they still didn't know their reason for capturing her and treating her like a servant.
On the other hand, Zhao Yuxian herself was also curious about the presence of the two women, especially since she didn't know that they were two of several women who framed her nephew in the past.

Meanwhile, Xing Xing was sitting opposite her mother, but she felt confused about telling her about cultivators, and she was afraid that Chu Lingxi would think that she had gone crazy.
Noticing her daughter's confusion, Chu Lingxi grabbed Xing Xing's hand. "Why do you look a little strange, Xing'er? Is there something you want to tell me?"
"Mom, I want to tell you something, but I'm having a hard time explaining it to you, so I'll show it to you directly." After she said that, Xing Xing stretched out her hand and opened her palm, but Chu Lingxi was stunned after she saw the lightning flashing above her palm.
"How can you do such a thing, Xing'er? Did you use any tricks to do it?" Chu Lingxi asked as her eyes continued to pay attention to the lightning above her daughter's palm. "In my entire life, I have only seen such a thing in films, but your lightning looks so real."
Xing Xing immediately dispelled it and smiled strangely. "As you can see just now, my lightning is a real thing, and it originates from my lightning element."
"A lightning element?" Chu Lingxi looked at her with an incomprehensible look.
"Yes." Xing Xing nodded and said to her. "Honestly, I only learned it yesterday, so I still need time to understand it, and Big Sis Tang Yin taught it to me."
"Tang Yin?"
Then, Xing Xing explained several things to her mother, especially about cultivators and the Earth II, which shocked and baffled Chu Lingxi. "It's really difficult for me to explain the details to you, but I will teach you to become a cultivator, so you can experience for yourself the advantages of being a cultivator like us, and you can know the difference between cultivators and ordinary humans."
"Can I really become a cultivator?"
"En." Xing Xing replied with a nod. "Big Sis Yin told me that you also have cultivator veins like us, so you can become a cultivator, but we can only find out your element after you start cultivating, and I will guide you to absorb qi from the air."
"Hmm?" Chu Lingxi suddenly realized something. "Xing'er, does my recovery have anything to do with Yin'er?"
Xing Xing sighed softly after hearing that. "You're right, Mom. Actually, it was Tang Xiao who cured your illness, but he did it without my prior knowledge, and I only found out about everything yesterday."
"Xiao'er?" Chu Lingxi was taken back for a moment, but she immediately smiled after hearing that. "Is he out of prison now? What is his condition now? Is he okay?"
"Tang Xiao is out of prison, and his condition is fine. Actually, he was the first to become a cultivator, and he taught Big Sis Yin to become one." However, Chu Lingxi noticed a change in her daughter's expression, and Xing Xing looked a little strange, but she immediately grabbed her mother's hand. "Mom, I want to tell you one other thing, but-"
"Do you want to tell me about your feelings for Xiao'er?" Chu Lingxi interrupted her as she smiled, and Xing Xing nodded at her. "Honestly, I have long noticed that you are attracted to him, but you have never dared to express your feelings to him, especially since you felt that you were not suitable for him because of our family situation, and you also continued to study hard so as not to disappoint me."
"That's right." Xing Xing answered with a soft sigh. "However, Tang Xiao already has a wife now, so I feel confused about my feelings, and I'm afraid that you will be angry with me if I get into a relationship with him."
Chu Lingxi did not immediately respond to her daughter's words, and she asked Xing Xing. "Who is Tang Xiao's wife? Does that mean he got married immediately after he got out of prison?"
"Yes, Tang Xiao got married right after he got out of prison." However, Xing Xing is unsure whether to tell her mother about his wife's true identity, especially since Chu Lingxi was an ordinary human who had to abide by law and custom, and she might be disappointed if she learned about his relationship with Tang Yin. "Mom, I can't tell you about his wife's identity for now, but you will find out about her in the future."
Chu Lingxi raised her eyebrows after she heard that, but she immediately asked her daughter again. "Are you thinking about becoming Xiao'er's wife too?"
"Yes." Even though she was afraid that her mother would be disappointed with her, Xing Xing still chose to tell Chu Lingxi about her true feelings. "Mom, I cannot have the same feelings for another man as I do for Tang Xiao. Therefore, I want to be his wife. I know that you don't want me to be involved in such a relationship, but this is my true feeling, and I don't want to deny it, so I hope you are willing to approve of me being his wife."
Chu Lingxi did not immediately agree or reject her daughter's wishes. "Does Xiao'er's wife know about your feelings? Is she willing to accept you?"
"She knows about my feelings for Tang Xiao, and she asked me to be his second wife, but I haven't given her any answer because I want to hear your opinion first."
Chu Lingxi sighed softly and rubbed her daughter's hand. "Honestly, I hope that you will find a man who only loves you, but I completely understand your feelings. Since you love Xiao'er so much and his first wife has no objection to you becoming his second wife, then I won't forbid you from being his wife."
Xing Xing's smile bloomed after hearing that, and she hugged Chu Lingxi with a joyful expression. "Thank you, Mom!"
After that, Xing Xing taught her mother to absorb qi from the air, but Chu Lingxi seemed to have difficulty understanding it, so she explained everything to her slowly and in as much detail as possible.
