Liu Yan finally understood. She had lived with Xiao Wuyu for so long, and she knew very well how he had treated her. He practically doted on her, never letting her do any heavy or tiring work.

He even splashed the foot bath water right in front of her eyes at night. It doesn't matter what kind of image this man presents to her; besides, she'd already seen it.

Xiao Wuyu's real appearance is so similar to Xiao Lingfeng's that it's impossible to explain to his godmother.

Perhaps this is fate; it was destined that she would be involved with the Xiao family.

Perhaps Xiao Wuyu is also related to the Xiao family by blood. Otherwise, how could they look like twins? There may be people in this world who look alike, but it is impossible for people who do not share a blood relationship to look so similar.

So, almost immediately after her initial surprise and hearing Xiao Wuyu's explanation, she chose to forgive him for concealing the truth from her.

"Yan Yan, you're so kind. Don't worry, I'll definitely treat you even better in the future."

Xiao Wuyu breathed a sigh of relief. He had been quite frightened just now, worried that Liu Yan wouldn't be able to accept the deception and concealment he had shown her. He would have no one to reason with then.

"Alright, we've talked it out, so it's all over now. Yan Yan, go back inside and have something to eat. Brother Xiao, please don't drink anymore. It's a good thing they all drank too much this time, otherwise, seeing your face would have been impossible to explain."

Seeing that the couple had finished their discussion, Jian Ning quickly pulled Liu Yan to his feet. It was still quite hot outside; they didn't want the pregnant woman to suffer from heatstroke.

Liu Yan followed her into the house, not forgetting to pull Xiao Wuyu along with him. The two smiled at each other, and all the misunderstandings vanished.

After everyone had left and gone home that evening, Xiao Lingfeng and Jian Ning returned to their bedroom upstairs.

"Today I went to the regimental headquarters, and the commander's idea was to relocate all the people from Kyoto here."

The volcanic ash has had a significant impact on Beijing, but flying is impractical for picking people up because the weather conditions affect flight. So they asked me if I had any other good ideas.

"Xiao Ning, although I know you don't want to expose your immortal abode, I think it's okay to set up a teleportation array or something to directly teleport people here. The base's space can be expanded, right?"

Xiao Lingfeng went out today and found that the weather outside was indeed no longer suitable for human survival. He didn't know how many more years this situation would last. For the sake of human reproduction and survival...

The best solution is to bring all the people from outside to live at his current base. After all, the air quality and crop growing environment here are much better than before the apocalypse.

The only worry is that Jian Ning might disagree, because taking care of so many people would be a lot of pressure for her.

"I can't give you an answer right away. I need to discuss it with Minglan, the steward of the Immortal Abode."

Although Jian Ning knew that Xiao Lingfeng was also acting in the best interests of the people, she still needed to ask Minglan about this matter.

Because she wasn't very familiar with the functions of the Immortal Abode. If Minglan said it was possible, and the Immortal Abode could continue to expand to accommodate more humans, then she could help.

"Wife, I knew you were the best. Come here, tonight your husband will pamper you." Xiao Lingfeng said, putting his arm around Jian Ning's slender waist and kissing her.

"Go brush your teeth and take a shower first, your breath smells like alcohol." Jian Ning pulled him into the jade pendant space. She still preferred this modern house, where showering was more convenient.

And it's especially peaceful because no one comes to disturb us.

The two cultivated together all night. The next morning, after Xiao Lingfeng finished breakfast, he went to the regimental headquarters. Only then did Jian Ning go to find Minglan and tell her that she wanted to further expand the base, asking if it was feasible.

“Master, there is absolutely no problem with expanding the Immortal Abode. I have the ability to completely cover this entire planet, as long as the energy supported by the Immortal Abode is sufficient.”

It's already this big, so it doesn't consume much energy. Expanding by tens of thousands of acres shouldn't be a problem.

However, if it becomes any larger, the owner will need to find rare and precious materials to replenish the energy of the immortal abode. Various jade mines, or gold mines, iron mines, and copper mines will all be acceptable; the immortal abode is not picky.

"Okay, I understand. This isn't difficult." The entire Earth is almost destroyed now.

Jian Ning knew of several places rich in mineral resources. She could simply go with Xiao Lingfeng to mine the ore and bring it to their immortal abode. It wasn't a difficult task.

So Minglan expanded the base by another 100,000 mu, even including the county town, so that people wouldn't have to come and build houses on the spot, and there would be a place to live right away.

Moreover, the cracks that were exposed on the ground were filled in by Minglan, making the surface very smooth, so that you could not tell that there were such deep cracks before.

As soon as Xiao Lingfeng came out of the regimental headquarters, he immediately sensed the changes at the base. He flew into the sky on his sword and was so happy that he almost did a somersault.

He quickly flew home to confirm with Jian Ning. "Honey, you're so fast! Did you bring the whole county area under the base? I see there's no volcanic ash left there!"

"Yes, I was thinking about making it convenient for people to live here. Otherwise, if people from Beijing come, there won't be anywhere to stay. Building houses on the spot would be a lot of trouble. Now there are ready-made ones."

Have the military send people to clean the house, air it out, and dispose of the bodies and other debris. That way, when the people from Beijing arrive, they can move in immediately, saving a lot of trouble.

“Wife, you’re absolutely right. I’ll go tell the commander right now that you’re a benefactor to all of us. I must make sure the commander gives you a big credit.”

Xiao Lingfeng cupped Jian Ning's face and kissed her, then abandoned his sword and ran off.

Seeing his happy expression, Jian Ning smiled slightly, standing at the window watching his joyful figure disappear into the distance, her heart softening.

Upon hearing Xiao Lingfeng's report, the regimental commander immediately took action, dispatching two companies to clean up houses in the county town and eliminate pests such as rats and cockroaches.

In order to provide a good environment for the people coming from the Beijing base, they got very busy. It took them more than ten days to clear out all the houses in the county and even find a lot of usable supplies.

Furthermore, the experts have also set up internet access and television programs at the base.

Although they were showing old movie clips and various pre-recorded variety shows, at least they had a way to pass the time and have some entertainment. The people in the base all applauded and cheered.

Jian Ning and Xiao Lingfeng had been staying at home for several days and were ready to head to Beijing. This time they would be driving; helicopters still couldn't fly. Jian Anping wanted to come along, but Jian Ning refused.
