When it was time to eat, Xiao Lingfeng returned. He greeted everyone first, then pulled Jian Ning aside to talk.
"What's wrong? Is it because Dr. Fu can't produce that many gene-editing agents?" Jian Ning asked.
"No, it's just that we still have to go to Russia. Xiao Ning, I'm sorry, the wedding date has to be postponed again." Xiao Lingfeng felt very guilty for always dragging things out.
"Oh, it's nothing. I thought something was wrong. I just came back to let my family know when we're going. There's no rush for the wedding."
Jian Ning had already planned this when she returned; she would definitely need to go along with the delivery of the gene serum.
Even if there are other gene warriors, they are not as well-matched as the two of them. Besides, there are still so many unclaimed supplies that haven't been collected.
"I'll leave tomorrow morning. I'll prepare all the gene serum today. It'll be hard on you."
The commander originally offered to send a few soldiers with me, but I declined. It's more convenient and safer for just the two of us to travel together.
"Okay, I got it. Let's go eat." Jian Ning smiled and pulled him to the table.
"Brother-in-law, what are you whispering about with my sister again? Is it because the wedding date hasn't been set yet?" Jian Anping could tell at a glance that the two of them had something on their minds, otherwise they would be whispering to each other.
"Brother, let's set the wedding date for next month. Lingfeng and I don't know how to choose auspicious dates."
We have to go out again tomorrow, and it'll be at least twenty days before we're back. We can start preparing for the wedding later.
"Leaving again? You two are really never still. Are you cursed with a runaway star?" Jian Anping said softly, but didn't ask any further questions.
Xiao Lingfeng's work situation is special; he might be on assignment in the military, which is beyond the control of an ordinary citizen like himself.
“After you come back from this trip, don’t go anywhere else. Your Aunt Li and I will discuss the best dates.”
"Let's see which day is auspicious, but unfortunately, we can't find anyone to calculate auspicious dates anymore. We two old sisters can only rely on each other." Aunt Wang felt that the proper customs should still be observed, and the wedding date must be carefully chosen.
"Big sister, I can tell the exact date is pretty close to the ideal one. Don't worry, I'll definitely pick a very auspicious and easy-to-marry date. Xiao Ning, will you still be wearing wedding dresses for the wedding?"
"I do know how to make cheongsams. Your sister-in-law has a piece of fabric with dragons and phoenixes on it. If you like a traditional Chinese wedding, how about I make you a bright red cheongsam?"
"That's wonderful, Aunt Li. I like Chinese-style weddings." Jian Ning had only ever seen people in the cultivation world wearing ancient costumes for their weddings, without any wedding dresses. She preferred Chinese etiquette.
"Okay, after we finish eating, I'll take your measurements and we'll make the cheongsam first."
“Xiao Ning, my mom’s sewing skills are just as good as those of the best tailors. I’m sure you’ll love the cheongsam she makes.” Li Mengyao said, holding her child beside her.
"I'm really looking forward to it." What girl doesn't like pretty clothes? Jian Ning is no exception.
So while eating, everyone discussed the details of the wedding preparations. They quickly reached a consensus.
Early the next morning, Jian Ning and Xiao Lingfeng flew to the military base to pick up the gene serum and began their journey to Russia.
Jian Ning didn't need to fly the plane; she could just sit and meditate while cultivating whenever she had free time on the road.
Huang Fugui came along this time too. When the two left, he clung to the airplane door, insisting on following them. They couldn't persuade him otherwise, so they had to agree.
Xiao Lingfeng didn't say much, but he felt that the child Jian Ning had picked up was too familiar with everyone and didn't treat him like an outsider at all. Moreover, Jian Ning spoiled him to no end, granting his every wish.
A sense of doubt crept into my mind, and I finally couldn't help but ask.
"Xiao Ning, where did your cat go? Wasn't it named after this child?"
"This is the cat. Come on, transform and show him."
Jian Ning had no intention of hiding it from him.
He patted Huang Fugui's head, and it immediately flipped over, turning back into its old form. It then jumped onto Xiao Lingfeng's shoulder, startling him.
This is so illogical. It's one thing for a cat to talk, but it can even turn into a child.
"I've had my suspicions for a while now, Xiao Ning. What's going on? Can you explain? You're not human either, are you?"
"What are you thinking? Of course I'm human. Do you really think there are that many monsters in this world?"
Jian Ning rolled her eyes at him and explained to him why Huang Fugui had turned into human form.
"There really are such miraculous pills? Xiao Ning, after we get married, you can teach me how to make pills too. I'm quite interested in it."
"Of course! Look what's that?" Jian Ning had just agreed when she looked up and saw a dark mass of crows in the sky ahead. A swarm of crows, darkening the sky, was hurtling towards the plane.
"Hold on tight!" Xiao Lingfeng quickly pulled the plane up, but the flock of crows, seeing them as their target, followed suit and rose into the air. Soon they completely surrounded the plane.
The windshield was covered in a thick layer of smear, and the crows kept pecking at the plane with their beaks. Unlike ordinary crows, these seemed extremely aggressive.
"Xiao Ning, this won't do. I'll go out and kill them. You come and take control of the plane." If this continues, the plane will definitely crash. Xiao Lingfeng said, starting to unbuckle his seatbelt.
“I’ll handle this; they’re afraid of fire.” Jian Ning opened her side of the cabin door and threw out a large fireball, which immediately ignited a patch of crow feathers.
They started cawing loudly outside. As she opened the door, five or six crows squeezed into the plane, but Huang Fugui swatted them dead one by one, leaving blood all over the cabin floor and ceiling.
"Huang Fugui, that's too violent. Don't use your hands to slap it, what if it's poisonous? I'm going out to check. This won't work, the fireball spell isn't effective." After saying that, Jian Ning opened the hatch and flew out.
Although Xiao Lingfeng was at the Foundation Establishment stage, there was still a significant gap between him and her, who was at the Golden Core stage. As soon as she went out, she threw several Firebird Talismans into the flock of crows.
The crows outside, who had initially turned their attention to her after seeing someone emerge from the plane, were surprised by the immense power of the Firebird Talisman, which instantly burned most of the crows to death.
These crows weren't stupid; they dodged Jian Ning and continued attacking the plane, seemingly determined to bring it down.
