Xinghe thought for a moment and pulled Rufeng into the ring space so they could meet. If needed, they could then travel through the mortal world together.
"Whether it will work or not remains to be seen. I need to ask Rufeng about this. Only if he is willing can I bring him into the ring's space."
"Alright, Master, you can ask him first."
"Hmm." Xinghe nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Xiao Jie, I can't see what Fifth Gentle is doing, but if he's harming people, you must tell me."
"Okay, no problem!" Ring originally wanted to say that if that dead fox really ate people, wouldn't Li Xi transform? But then she thought that she had known about this since Fifth Gentle had made her plan. So she agreed directly.
At this time, Fifth Gentle stayed very well-behaved in the deep mountains and forests, and never even left the fox den, let alone harmed anyone.
However, he still didn't do anything good.
He was cultivating a more advanced 'Soul Devouring Technique'. Once he mastered it, he wouldn't need to eat people one by one; he would only need to pull people's souls out of their bodies and eat them.
This is the most profound forbidden technique of their family. Once he masters it, his movements will be much faster. He only needs to absorb the souls of ten more people to defeat Li Xi.
When that time comes, the little brat will no longer be a match for him. He will kill her, eat her flesh, and devour her soul.
He wanted to make her regret all these years of opposing him!
...
A major event recently occurred at the Chinese Academy of Sciences: the youngest couple of scientists in China proposed to each other!
With a seven-colored glass engagement ring, Li Xi knelt down on one knee before Xinghe in front of everyone from the Academy of Sciences.
Xinghe was somewhat surprised, but not entirely unexpected.
After such a long time, she could guess what he was doing just by looking at his expression and other people's expressions.
They had been married so many times that Xinghe was now completely at ease, devoid of the initial excitement and nervousness, after all, they had been an old married couple for so many years. But he, in every lifetime, never tired of it.
Of course, Xinghe could understand, after all, he was someone who didn't have complete memories of many lifetimes.
After accepting the proposal, the next step was an unprecedentedly grand wedding. After all, it was a wedding of someone from the Academy of Sciences, and people from the Academy are generally quite old. They hadn't been interested in such things before, and they were even less interested now. Since it was a rare occasion, they definitely wanted to make a big deal out of it.
Their guest list included a string of high-profile figures, including the Prime Minister of China, the President of a foreign country, the President of Kerry University, the head of the Academy of Sciences, representatives of the Air Force, and so on.
However, none of their relatives attended their wedding.
Of course, even if Li Xi and Xing He didn't come, they wouldn't be able to get into their wedding venue.
Years have passed, and Li Xi and Xing He have almost forgotten their existence. They didn't even think of them when they got married.
They didn't receive an invitation, and aside from privately complaining, they didn't dare cause a scene, as the events of four years ago were still too fresh in their minds.
Xinghe and Lixi's wedding was broadcast live, attracting a large audience on television, and the broadcast even reached overseas. Students at Kerry University were heartbroken; their dream couple had married someone else.
The internet was filled with howls of despair, but they were all tears of blessing.
The two of them usually show off their affection to an extreme degree. It seems like every time I run into them, they're together. Their marriage isn't surprising, but the fact that they haven't announced it gives others a chance to fantasize.
The ring loves this kind of thing. From the start of the live stream, it focused its attention on Kerry University and China. Seeing the expressions of many people heartbroken made it happy, and it couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Xinghe heard its "pig-like" noise while offering a toast and asked it what was wrong.
The ring excitedly described it to her in vivid detail.
Xinghe almost choked on his drink when he was toasting.
Suddenly she realized that marriage might actually be quite interesting.
...
After the wedding, they threw themselves back into scientific research.
The children's education is also gradually and subtly influencing them. Xinghe explained the tasks that the two mothers and two postpartum nannies should do on a regular basis, and then observed them every week.
However, the director of the neighboring biological research institute often comes over here to "tease the kids" and impart some fun biological knowledge to them.
When the president of the Academy of Sciences found out, fearing that everyone would snatch them all away, he was not to be outdone and went to tease the children as well, and even made some fun things for them to play with when he had nothing to do.
The two deans argued back and forth like old children, driving Xinghe crazy. But she didn't stop them; in doing so, they also encouraged her to do various science popularizations.
Time passed little by little, and the children progressed very quickly from babbling to learning to recognize characters.
Xinghe knew that teaching children should be done step by step, so she wasn't in a hurry. She first taught them to recognize characters, and then taught them how to memorize texts.
Then I taught arithmetic, Chinese, and foreign languages. In my spare time, I introduced physics, chemistry, biology, and various Chinese and foreign histories, etc.
She taught me almost everything she knew gradually.
She didn't require them to know all the popular science materials; she just wanted them to listen to them, since these were the materials they would be choosing later.
The two children were quite well-behaved; they probably knew they had a mission to fulfill, so they listened very attentively.
The two deans who occasionally came to listen to Xinghe's lectures were truly amazed by her. They had a strange feeling that if she were to go to the chemistry lab, she could probably handle it.
The two sensed a crisis and turned their attention to the two children.
Xinghe ran out and only picked two back, which was far too few. One for each of them would be just right. If the chemistry research institute found out...
No, absolutely not.
The two deans chose to keep it absolutely confidential.
And so, this secret remained until the two children were thirteen years old and had to choose their careers.
Xinghe stood in front of the two children. Thirteen years had passed, but her appearance seemed to have not changed much, and she was still wearing the white coat they were familiar with.
The two deans, their hair already white, sat in the back, somewhat agitated, as if awaiting trial.
Before the two children made their choice, Xinghe said, "There are some things you should think about before you make your choice. If you can become deans in the future, then seeing each other often won't be a problem. You can refer to the two deans who came after you in this regard."
Upon hearing such ambitious words, the two deans not only did not feel disgusted, but also nodded vigorously in agreement with Xinghe's words.
The two children turned around and saw the kind-hearted headmaster nodding. They looked at each other and smiled.
At this point, their choices had changed.
"I choose biology!" the girl exclaimed.
"I choose physics!" the boy exclaimed.
"Yay!" The two deans jumped up from their chairs excitedly. "That's great, that's great!"
Xinghe smiled, her eyes crinkling. As someone who had been through it all, she understood perfectly what it felt like to fall in love for the first time.
