Hearing Cheng Xiaofan's words, Zhang Heng’s eyes rolled back in his head, his aged face turning ashen.
“Xiaofan, why are you so stubborn? This matter is of utmost importance, you cannot take Nü Xi away!” Zhang Heng stomped his feet in agitation, nearly clasping his hands in supplication to Cheng Xiaofan.
He knew Cheng Xiaofan’s personality; once he became obstinate, not even eight water buffaloes could pull him back.
However, Nü Xi, a human from Earth’s prehistoric era, was no ordinary person. How could Cheng Xiaofan simply decide to take her away?
Seeing Zhang Heng’s distressed expression, Cheng Xiaofan said with some sympathy, “Teacher, I apologize. When I initially asked you to deploy the helicopter, I intended for Nü Xi to be taken to the headquarters of the Jianghu Affairs Bureau!”
“If it weren't for the unavoidable circumstances, I wouldn't have changed my mind!”
Zhang Heng sighed and said, “Xiaofan, I overheard your conversation with Nü Xi. I truly admire you. In such a short time, you’ve made a woman from Earth’s prehistoric era fall for you!”
“She even says she wants to love you dearly, follow you, and bear you two children!”
“Xiaofan, tell me honestly, the first moment you saw this Nü Xi, weren't you smitten? Did you use some sort of charm to make her fall for you?”
“……” Cheng Xiaofan was utterly speechless.
Teacher, in your eyes, would I, Cheng Xiaofan, be so despicable?
Even if I liked a woman, I wouldn’t use any manipulative techniques!
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but pout and laugh, “Teacher, you’ve misunderstood me. Nü Xi told me that long before her time on Earth, a wise elder had told her that the one who could save her would be her life’s guardian, her man!”
“I’ll also tell you the truth, Teacher. Nü Xi is from the Wuyi tribe of Earth’s prehistoric era, and she is the only Wuyi tribesperson surviving in the world today.”
“The reason she wants to have two children is to leave behind a bloodline for the Wuyi tribe within her lifetime, a legacy that can be passed down in the present world.”
“The end-of-days virus she carries has only granted her six years of life.”
“Furthermore, the Wuyi tribespeople are different from ordinary humans. It takes over five years from conception to childbirth. It can be said that her only courage to live now is the desire to give birth to these two children!”
Zhang Heng asked curiously, “Since it takes over five years for the Wuyi tribespeople from conception to childbirth, how can Nü Xi be sure she can have two children?”
Cheng Xiaofan replied, “Wuyi women generally have twins, a boy and a girl, during their first pregnancy. She and her brother, Huihuang, were twins!”
Hearing Cheng Xiaofan’s explanation, Zhang Heng felt he had truly gained knowledge.
“Did Nü Xi tell you all this?” Zhang Heng asked.
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and replied, “No, Teacher. I discovered all this from the vital energy emanating from her.”
Zhang Heng inquired curiously, “What else did you perceive from her vital energy?”
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, “From Nü Xi’s vital energy, I perceived that she is the youngest tribal chief of the Wuyi tribe, possessing absolute authority.”
“She was a cultivator from Earth’s prehistoric era. Unfortunately, the erosion of the end-of-days virus caused her to lose many of her supernatural abilities!”
Zhang Heng asked, “Is the end-of-days virus very potent? Even you cannot resolve it?”
Cheng Xiaofan sighed, “This end-of-days virus originated from Earth’s prehistoric era. With my current abilities, I truly cannot resolve it!”
“Fortunately, this virus is not contagious and will not be passed down to the next generation.”
He then added again, “The reason I want to keep Nü Xi by my side is not only to help her recuperate her weak body but also to find a way to develop an elixir that can solve this virus!”
“My concern is that this terrifying end-of-days virus might still be hidden somewhere on Earth. Once it erupts, it will cause devastating damage to humanity and other living beings!”
Zhang Heng shuddered upon hearing this.
He said, “Xiaofan, what you’ve said is indeed logical.”
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, “Therefore, my reasons for keeping Nü Xi by my side are perfectly valid!”
Zhang Heng nodded solemnly, “You are right. Alright, Nü Xi can stay with you. It is indeed a good thing for her to be by your side.”
“It’s just that when I requested the helicopter, I reported the matter to my superiors. What troubles me is how I should respond when they inquire about this.”
Cheng Xiaofan said, “That’s simple. Just say that Nü Xi, like her brother Hui, weathered away before she could exit the cave!”
Zhang Heng replied, “Someone you resurrected, and you expect them to believe she ‘weathered away’ again?”
Cheng Xiaofan said, “If they truly don’t believe it, then that’s all we can do!”
Ring, ring!
As they were speaking, Zhang Heng’s phone rang.
He took out his phone, glanced at the number, his expression changing slightly, but he immediately pressed the answer button.
Cheng Xiaofan could tell this was undoubtedly a call from above.
As expected!
Zhang Heng spoke into the phone, “Sir, what are your orders?”
Then, from the other end of the phone, came the voice of the so-called superior: “Old Zhang, you’ve worked hard. To resurrect a young woman from Earth’s prehistoric era is a momentous event.”
“The foreign reporters stationed in Beijing have just held a meeting and announced this great news to the public. If our predictions are correct, tomorrow, high-level figures from various countries will arrive here, wanting to meet that beauty from Earth’s prehistoric era!”
“What?”
Zhang Heng’s face turned pale with shock, and he nearly dropped his phone. “Sir, didn’t I say this matter needed absolute secrecy and shouldn’t be publicized?”
The superior chuckled heartily, “Old Zhang, you don’t understand. The appearance of prehistoric humans in our China is a testament to our nation’s charm!”
“Furthermore, we can use this opportunity to develop our Jade Tablet Mountain’s tourism resources. Imagine, tourists from all over the world will flock to the cave on Jade Tablet Mountain for visits.”
“At the same time, we can take that prehistoric beauty on a world tour. Think of how much foreign exchange this will generate for us!”
“……” Plop!
Zhang Heng collapsed onto the ground upon hearing this.
He gasped for breath continuously.
He never in his wildest dreams imagined things would escalate to this point.
Taking a prehistoric beauty on a world tour – was the other person out of their mind? What were they thinking?
They say they’ve kept aliens in Area 51 in the United States.
Have they held press conferences and taken aliens on world tours?
Why do we have such brainless fools!
What does this have to do with national charm!
Seeing no response from his end for a long time, the superior grew anxious, “Old Zhang, why aren’t you speaking? You must immediately prepare to welcome the arrival of foreign dignitaries!”
Alas!
Now the trouble has truly begun!
