Ruan Xianxian turned her head, furious. The more Gong Ye looked at her, the more she resembled a honey badger, someone who wanted to fight anyone.

"What? You believe the Earth is flat too?"

“No!” Miyano took a sip of tea. “But I believe in the ancient theory of giant spheres.”

A giant sphere? Ruan Xianxian became interested. "How so?"

Miyano glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "According to the calculations of Institute 507, the coordinates of many famous mountains and rivers in the Classic of Mountains and Seas have been extended to the universe."

Therefore, I believe that in ancient times, besides the five continents and seven oceans we inhabit, there were much larger territories.

"And now? In a broader field?"

Miyano said meaningfully, "Who knows? Maybe Earth has been reduced to a lower dimension, maybe... the entrance is behind the Antarctic ice wall."

Ruan Xianxian is very interested in this new topic.

The group temporarily escaped the bloody history of falling from the pinnacle of humanity and being forced to bow to the immortals, and enthusiastically joined the hypothetical giant sphere.

Ji Guang was the only one left. His glasses had flown off, he had been punched in the face by Ruan Xianxian, and his body was covered in shoe prints. He sat in a corner with a gloomy expression.

He still believed he was right and that Ruan Xianxian was talking nonsense.

What about the Three Sovereigns? The Three Sovereigns were also under the heavens. Was it wrong for the human leader to call himself the Son of Heaven?

The room was full of people, each one like a tireless schoolchild, chatting from dusk till dawn, exploring countless topics.

This kind of discussion, with its touch of fantasy, is very interesting to everyone.

It wasn't until Zhao Li, in a fit of rage, arrived, that he shouted, "Control your two wolves, or Bureau 749 will have to resort to force!"

The poor old man tried so hard to reason with the two hairy beasts, but not only did he get nowhere, he was also looked down upon. The wolf almost rolled its eyes at him.

They wouldn't dare to do that before Ruan Xianxian came out!

Zhao Li realized that this guy was using the power of the great demon, and the great demon was also relying on Ruan Xianxian's power. It was a truly interesting symbiotic relationship.

Upon hearing that Bureau 749 was going to use coercive measures, Ruan Xianxian dared not let the boy continue to resist. Before running out, she asked Gong Ye:

"Do you think I was the Beast King in my past life?"

“No.” Miyano said calmly, “You were a washed-up celebrity in your past life, and you went crazy on a dating reality show.”

Ruan Xianxian: ? ? ?

After an hour of both intimidation and coaxing, the alpha wolf finally relented, agreeing that humans could cross the rope bridge, but were not allowed to roam freely in the wolf pack's territory.

Especially, you're not allowed to poop!

Wolves hate the markings of large, foreign beasts.

Ruan Xianxian conveyed the message.

Zhao Li: ...

The deal was finally reached: the professors would rest for a day and enter the temple tomorrow.

Ruan Xianxian never expected that she would meet an acquaintance the next day. Looking at Gu Chengxuan standing under a helicopter, she happily went to greet him.

"You in a wheelchair, what brings you here? Have your legs fully recovered?"

Gu Chengxuan: ...

His smile remained unchanged as he looked at Gong Ye behind Ruan Xianxian. "And who is this?"

Before the latter could answer, Miyano extended a hand first, "Hello, I am Miyano, Ruan Xianxian's fiancé."

"Really?" Gu Chengxuan's smile froze for a moment. "I didn't know you were already engaged."

Miyano's eyes hardened, growing darker with each passing moment. Ruan Xianxian, oblivious to the change, raised an eyebrow as if they were best buddies.

"More than that, you're getting married when you go back this time. You've rejoined your unit? Do you even have time to attend my wedding now that you're back?"

Miyano paused, withdrew her hand, and then, midway, grabbed the hand that was hooking around the other man's shoulder, whispering:

"Don't touch a man's shoulder where he wears his badge."

Ruan Xianxian thought about it and realized it made sense, so she took her hand back.

Watching the two interact intimately, a dark shadow crossed Gu Chengxuan's eyes, but he smiled with relief, his tone as calm as ever.

"If a good friend gets married, even if it means raining red rain, I'll still attend."

He wanted to call them benefactors, but seeing how close the two were, their posture, expressions, and tone of voice all conveyed affection, what right did he have to steal the spotlight?

That's fine. As long as she's doing well, he'll be happy!

"Really?" Ruan Xianxian was delighted to hear this and began to inquire about his legs again.

She then realized that Gu Chengxuan was actually quite tall when he stood up, not at all inferior to Gong Ye.

Both of them must be 1.9 meters tall. Apart from her family being a telephone pole, Feng Bai, who is 1.95 meters tall, is rarely seen on the street.

Sure enough, all the high-quality males in the world have already handed over to the state!

"I'm all better! I'm completely healed!" He walked around Ruan Xianxian twice to prove that he had fully recovered.

In fact, his legs had not fully recovered during the last mission, but there are not many air force personnel in China who can pilot fighter jets close to typhoons without crashing and losing their lives.

Everyone else was out on missions, but his younger brother, Gu Zhengchi, had been arrested and imprisoned more than six months ago.

To this day, there has been no explanation. Even with my grandfather's connections, he only managed to find out a tiny fraction of the truth. I wonder which deity he offended and is now facing execution!

He carried out the mission despite his injuries, and fortunately, he completed it successfully.

The full restoration was achieved after learning that Ruan Xianxian was in the area, and he volunteered to come to Kunlun Mountain to carry out transportation tasks.

I never expected to receive such great news so soon after arriving.

The man next to her held her hand, and because of his height, he always lowered his head when he spoke, never allowing the woman next to him to look up at him even slightly.

"You've been freezing outside all day, come back inside. Your friend has come all this way, so let him rest for a bit."

Seeing Gu Chengxuan's anxious appearance, Ruan Xianxian felt that her boyfriend's words made sense, and pointed out the way for Gu Chengxuan to find a place for Rong Xue to arrange for him to rest.

Then, she was happily led back to her room by Miyano to take a nap.

The supplies have arrived. Miyano said that we'll have winter melon soup for dinner, which is hot pot cooked inside a winter melon. Ruan Xianxian only cares about one thing.
