"Really? I wasn't that engrossed in it either," Tian Tian scratched her head in confusion. If her aunt said so, then it must be true.
Jian Ning stepped out of the villa, pushed open the courtyard gate, and saw that the asphalt pavement on the road outside had been softened by the sun.
The sunlight was extremely bright. Looking into the distance, she saw that there was practically no one outside. She took out a parasol from her spatial storage, opened it to block some of the sunlight, and then walked along the road to the school.
The walls here are covered with ivy and roses, blooming in clusters of red, yellow and pink, a riot of colors, emitting a faint fragrance.
Jian Ning walked over and gently knocked on the door, and soon heard hurried footsteps in the courtyard.
"Ningning, Wuyu said you were here, but I didn't believe it. When did you get back? I missed you so much!" Liu Yan opened the door and was overjoyed to see Jian Ning outside the courtyard.
"Yan Yan, you look so healthy!"
Jian Ning looked at Liu Yan with a smile, her face full of happiness. She had gained a lot of weight and had a rosy complexion. She was a completely different person from when she first came to the base.
"Wuyu and I got married. The troupe leader was our witness. It's a pity you came back so late. If you had come back two months earlier, you could have attended our wedding. And I'm pregnant now, I'm going to be a mother!"
Liu Yan smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling. She couldn't wait to share the good news with Jian Ning.
"Congratulations! You got married later than me, but you became a mother much earlier. This necklace is for you as a wedding gift." Jian Ning took out a necklace with a jade gourd on it from her pocket.
"Thank you, then I won't be polite. This little gourd is so cute." Liu Yan smiled as she took it and immediately put it around her neck.
This necklace is a mid-grade protective spiritual artifact. It not only contains a defensive formation but also a sword technique that can be used for attack. It can guarantee Liu Yan's safety at least three times.
At this moment, Xiao Wuyu also came out of the house, looked at the necklace around Liu Yan's neck, and bowed to Jian Ning.
"Thank you, Miss Jian."
"You're welcome. Yan Yan and I are like sisters. I just hope that Brother Xiao will take good care of her in the future."
I missed your wedding, so let's have a good drink tonight, Yan Yan. Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it happen.
"Really? I want to eat so many things: coconut-flavored bird's nest, papaya with rock sugar and snow frog, crispy golden prawns, Japanese-style beef cubes,..."
"Magnificent Herb Chicken," Liu Yan said, counting on his fingers as he began to order.
"This is too advanced. Even if I had the ingredients, I wouldn't have the skill to cook it. Don't make it difficult for me."
Let's have a seafood feast tonight! Lobster, crab, salmon—I can make it all for you. If you want to cook it yourself, I can get you some live seafood too.
“Okay, I like seafood too, but where are you going to get it? Aren’t they saying that all the marine life has mutated and can’t be eaten?”
"You don't need to worry about that. I'm going out for a bit and will be back in a little while. You guys start preparing the seasonings and cooking. I brought my own red wine. Oh, and I also need to find my husband. He doesn't know I'm back yet."
After Jian Ning finished speaking, she turned and walked out of the school. She wanted to find Xiao Lingfeng first; the seafood wasn't urgent. It would be available anytime.
She and Xiao Lingfeng practiced dual cultivation techniques, which allowed them to sense each other's location.
At this moment, Xiao Lingfeng was on the mountaintop. Jian Ning was a little puzzled as to why he was running so high. She concealed herself and flew up on her sword, hiding in the clouds above to look down.
Standing next to Xiao Lingfeng were two men in military uniforms, pointing and gesturing as they looked down.
Several other soldiers were carrying instruments and measuring something around. It looked like an earthquake testing device.
I don't know if she's right or wrong.
After more than ten minutes, several surveyors came over to report their findings, then packed up their equipment and went down the mountain. Jian Ning quietly flew to Xiao Lingfeng's side and hooked her little finger with his.
A surprised smile appeared on Xiao Lingfeng's face. He grabbed her small hand and held it tightly in his palm.
Jian Ning smiled and followed them down the mountain.
Xiao Lingfeng didn't go back to the cave. Instead, he told his companions and hurried home. As soon as he entered the house, he hugged Jian Ning tightly.
"Wife, are you going back to cultivate this time?"
"I think I should take a break for a while. I feel like I've reached a bottleneck. I've already reached the peak of the Golden Core stage. I need some more accumulation and an opportunity to advance further and achieve the Nascent Soul stage."
"Then let's rest for a while longer, there's no rush." Xiao Lingfeng said, but his hands were anything but honest. He stroked Jian Ning's waist and slipped his hand inside her clothes.
"Wait a minute, why are you in such a hurry? It's broad daylight, and lunchtime is just around the corner." Jian Ning slapped his hand, stopping him from doing anything further.
"Can't I just touch you? You haven't come out for over a month, and I can't get in."
Xiao Lingfeng really missed Jian Ning; every night he would hug his pillow, unable to sleep.
With his soft, fragrant wife in his arms, how could he resist? His hands stopped moving, but his lips pressed against hers, and Jian Ning had no choice but to let him have his way.
After a long period of intimacy, Jian Ning finally remembered to ask Xiao Lingfeng.
"What were you doing up on the mountain just now? I think that instrument is for measuring earthquakes, isn't it?"
"Yes, the weather has been normal lately, but there's been noticeable seismic activity. Based on my memories from my past life, a major earthquake is coming soon, probably around July of this year."
The earthquake could potentially exceed the world record of 9.5 magnitude, a truly devastating disaster.
Speaking of this, Xiao Lingfeng couldn't help but frown.
If it is truly as he remembers it, then an earthquake of this magnitude would be a catastrophe for the entire world.
In areas near the epicenter, entire cities would be swallowed by the cracked ground, not to mention the potential for volcanic eruptions and global tsunamis. It would be incredibly difficult for humans to survive such an earthquake.
"What results did the instruments give? If an earthquake is imminent, we really need to start preparing."
I remember buying a few safety cabins back then, but they wouldn't be of much use in such a high-magnitude earthquake.
If you're left on flat ground and swallowed by a crack in the earth, even if you don't die immediately, you'll never be able to crawl out. Why don't we try to get into the air? When an earthquake comes, we can all stay in the sky.
"Xiao Ning, it's easy to talk about our family members, but there are so many civilians and soldiers in the base. We can't just stand by and watch them die. I can't bear it. Do you have any good ideas?"
Xiao Wuyu looked intently into Jian Ning's eyes.
