However, Huang Tao seemed to have heard something. He looked up at Ji Yueyao, who was diligently working on the documents, and asked, "What did you just say?"
"No, you must have misheard me," Ji Yueyao chuckled, her face completely natural and flawless. In her heart, she silently thought to herself, "It seems my ability to put on airs has improved."
"The world I imagine?" Sky pondered for a moment, then whispered to Ji Yueyao, "The world I imagine is one filled with light, with larger and taller forests, more alien species, and many creatures I don't know about."
After listening to Tiankong's account, Ji Yueyao raised an eyebrow and lowered her voice, saying, "Apart from not having bigger or taller forests, there's basically no difference."
“Yes, the world I imagined was a world of pure white light, without darkness or color, filled with aliens, while humans remained confined to a small place, surrounded by these aliens,” the sky continued calmly. “But now it seems that humans are the true rulers of the outside world, and the aliens don’t seem as powerful as I thought.”
"..." Ji Yueyao rolled her eyes speechlessly. "How could you think that?"
"Because my ability is to detect everything in the darkness, but I can't detect anything in the outside world, so it's all light." The sky snorted, seemingly not understanding why Ji Yueyao would ask such a stupid question. "And you humans are so weak, so naturally you have to be subordinate to us, the aliens."
"Don't forget that you aliens are just mutated versions of us humans... I really don't know where your sense of superiority comes from." Ji Yueyao pouted, resting her chin on her hand and said softly. Although she also felt that such bickering was childish, she still felt uncomfortable hearing Tiankong say that.
The sky rolled its azure pupils in their sockets, the crystalline blue light almost spotted by the termites, but thankfully it withdrew in time. "Hmph, seeing how weak you are, I know how weak humans are. Besides, what we did wasn't mutation, it was evolution, evolution, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yueyao narrowed her eyes dangerously. She looked up at the sky above the cabinet, unconsciously twirling the pen in her hand. Then, she said to the termites who were busily cleaning nearby, "Termites, I think that skull is a bit dirty. Do you want to take it to be washed? It needs to be washed inside and out."
Upon hearing this, the termite glanced at the skull on the cabinet, silently nodded, and reached out to take it. So the captain really did have a collecting hobby, and even specifically asked him to wash it...
"Wait, wait a minute!" Sky was completely dumbfounded. "I'm not washing it! My nerves are still attached to the inside of my skull. What if they're washed away?"
"If you don't want to wash... then beg me." Ji Yueyao said with a wicked smile.
"You!" Sky roared in fury. Fine, sticking his head out would only get him a slash, it was just a quick wash... Sky trembled slightly, indicating that discretion is the better part of valor, "I beg you."
So direct? Ji Yueyao thought he would put up a fight. He never intended to actually wash it. This guy is too cowardly.
Looking up at the sky, which was being held in the hands of the termites and looked like it was about to cry, Ji Yueyao suddenly felt a deep sense of guilt for bullying a child... Damn it, Ji Yueyao rolled her eyes, "Termites, don't wash it, I think it's about to cry."
"Him? Which 'him'?" The termite paused, then looked down at the skull in its hand and silently put it back. The captain really liked this; look, he's even starting to personify it.
However, this skull is heavier than I expected. What's inside it?
The sky quieted down, and Ji Yueyao took a breath and continued to read the documents seriously. Huang Tao looked at Ji Yueyao's serious expression and then lowered his head to look through the materials he had brought.
I had a feeling that Ji Yueyao was talking to someone, but was it just my imagination?
“We have officially started cooperating with Chongyuan. Now we need to be more cautious about our transactions with Wei Tan.” Ji Yueyao looked at the newly signed document in her hand, looked up and said in a low voice, “The transactions that need to be done still need to be done, such as some normal ordinary transactions, but we need to pay attention to the supply of goods. After all, no one wants to have a force that is constantly supplying the enemy right under their nose.”
"This... our transactions with the First Seat Chongyuan are all conducted in secret..." Huang Tao said after thinking for a moment, "There shouldn't be any concern about confidentiality..."
"If it were you, would you think Wei Qin and the others didn't know about this?" Ji Yueyao understood Huang Tao's meaning and chuckled lightly, resting her chin on her hand.
Upon hearing this, Huang Tao immediately lowered his eyes and began to think. How could someone who was the second seat in the Nanxiao Base, with the ambition to replace the first seat and powerful backing, not know such a thing?
"And... didn't Ling Yang from your military region also plant quite a few Night Seed people around Qin Lichang? I guess he also plans to deliver a fatal blow to Qin Lichang if necessary. By the same token, do you think Wei Qin wouldn't plant people around Chong Yuan?" Ji Yueyao picked up the various records and reports from the past few days while she was away and gestured for Huang Tao to take them over to look at. "Speaking of which, after Ling Yang arranged these people, did he say what his next plan was?"
"Lord Lingyang didn't say anything," Huang Tao replied truthfully. "However, those people Lord Lingyang left behind should all be of use to you."
“Okay.” Ji Yueyao was a little surprised. She thought that since Ling Yang had come, he would have already made all the arrangements. Thinking of how Ling Yang left in such a hurry, Ji Yueyao silently thought that the guy really could put his mind at ease.
Ling Yang, who was sitting in the car preparing to return to the military base with Mu Yanxuan, suddenly sneezed. Oh no, he seemed to have forgotten to tell Ji Yueyao something... Ah, this is terrible. Several people from the Night Clan are still on standby... He could only hope that Ji Yueyao wouldn't disappoint him.
"Yueyao." Kaqi and Lin Xuan walked in side by side after returning from shopping. When they saw Ji Yueyao looking at official documents intently, they smiled gently. "Are you busy? I bought a few nice coats, both men's and women's. Come and take a look if you have time. Everyone can have one."
"You guys pick first, just leave me a dark color like black." Ji Yueyao shrugged and rubbed her short hair. Dark clothes would make the clothes look cleaner, which would lessen her obsession with cleanliness a little, and she wouldn't feel too bad wearing them.
Ji Yueyao then turned her gaze to the documents in front of her. Looking at some of the data, she suddenly chuckled softly, "It seems... Wei Qin is getting restless. Bai Yi, tell Chong Yuan to prepare. I think... winter is a perfect time for riots."
The termite's eyes darkened, and it immediately nodded in understanding before turning and striding out.
The Nanxiao base is really going to be in for some serious trouble. (To be continued.)
