Flying Star City remained the same. Blue skies, blue seas, birds chirped, flowers bloomed, and flowers bloomed. This was a fairytale-like world.
The villas in the eastern suburbs had long been cleared out by the Sky Wolf Corps. The reason was simple — the marshal had ordered them to do so. Now, the Federation was in the outer space of the Southern Border, and the Surprise Attack Corps was a first-class corps. Yan Fengwei was not qualified to compete with the marshal at all.
The marshal was also dressed in a formal suit. After receiving Xin Jie's notice, he had been waiting at the apron of the villa for a long time. However, the luxurious flying car that he had imagined was nowhere to be seen. This was because Ding Meng and Yan Fengwei had flown directly from the sky using a military flying backpack.
Ding Meng did not want to show off his wings of light so that it would not be too shocking and frighten others. However, even if he wanted to keep a low profile, the marshal was still stunned by Ji Chenxue's beauty and could not come back to his senses for a long time.
"Brother Ding!" The marshal greeted him respectfully.
"Is everything ready?" Ding Meng asked.
The marshal said, "According to Brother Jie's instructions, this area has been cleared. You can choose as many rooms as you want. The starship is also ready. If you want to enter the Federation's territory, you can set off at any time."
Ding Meng was a little surprised. "So soon?"
The marshal nodded affirmatively. "I've checked the official website repeatedly. Your arrest warrant was canceled five days ago. It's confirmed."
Ding Meng secretly thought that the Transit String was really resourceful. That guy named Haodong was also very capable. He had canceled his arrest warrant in such a short time.
"Alright, thank you for your hard work. You can go do your work. I'll stay here for a while."
He stayed in Flying Star City to recover from his injuries and regroup with the others. After all, Xin Jie and the others had caused a huge commotion in the Empire. They needed some time to withdraw the main force.
Ding Meng's injuries were non-existent. What he needed was energy. However, Ji Chenxue needed to rest quietly. She said that she wanted to enjoy the scenery, but in fact, she had basically locked herself in her room to cultivate quietly after moving into the villa.
Once these two people started cultivating, they couldn't stop at all. It wasn't until ten days later that the marshal led everyone into the courtyard.
Even though Ji Chenxue was already mentally prepared, she still noticed Little Rascal and Little Ai in the crowd at a glance. These two people were too outstanding in terms of appearance and temperament, especially Little Rascal. Although she was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans and looked like a lively female student, the divine aura she exuded was so pure that it could only be Miao Xing.
This time, almost everyone was present: Xin Jie, Ding Wenhe, Ding Meng, Jun Ling, Lan Bing, Meng Yan, Su Xia, Dai Yi, Eisendale, Lu Qing, Liang Yi, and Su Lingyue. Behind the crowd were Yao Manrou, Four Eyes, and Mao Zi. What surprised Ding Meng the most was that there were a few familiar faces: Elephant, Little Arrow, Qinqin, and so on.
"You …" Ding Meng was surprised.
Jun Ling stepped forward with a smile. "Boss, Sister Xiao Ai brought them over from the God War Starfield."
Elephant and Little Arrow immediately rushed forward. "Brother Ding, we missed you so much. We're finally here."
Liang Yi also stepped forward, but his voice was like water droplets. "Ding Meng, look at me. Am I strong enough now?"
A water droplet floated out from under Liang Yi's feet. It flew into the air and suddenly transformed into a valiant human figure. "Hehe, Ding Meng, I haven't seen you in seven years."
"You …" Ding Meng was shocked. "Senior Fujen Zhen?"
This voice was indeed Fujen Zhen's, but it quickly changed. "Little guy, do you still remember me?
Hehe, I can't call you little guy anymore. You're now the famous God of War Ding Meng. "
Ding Meng was stunned. "Senior Xue Yue Mountain, what's going on?"
The water droplet smiled proudly. "Brother Feng, Uncle Blood, and I have successfully merged into one. How is it?
Do you still think I'm weak? "
Damn, you've merged the strengths of three families into one. You're really strong.
Su Lingyue sneered. "So what if you're strong?
You still have to obediently return to the bowl. Without Sister Yi, you're nothing. "
The water droplet transformed again and burrowed back into Liang Yi's boots …
Seeing this group of people greet each other as if it was nothing, Ji Chenxue was dazzled. He wasn't dazzled by this group of beauties. He was shocked by their auras. Apart from a few people, these people were all warriors of the Divine Light Division. Most of them were above the God of War level, especially Lan Bing and Dai Yi. Their auras were strong and their foundations were deep. They seemed to be no weaker than him.
Of course, Xin Jie was always the first to make sarcastic remarks. He couldn't help but laugh. "I really envy you!"
Ding Meng was puzzled. "What do you envy me for?"
Xin Jie looked at Lan Bing. "Sister Bing said that you encountered a strong enemy in the Empire and that you were in great danger. I almost believed her. You're really something. You went to the capital of Planet Norland and hooked up with the goddess of the Empire."
Ding Meng's eyelids drooped. "You have a rich imagination. Ji Zong and I are just friends …"
He suddenly turned his head and said, "Ji Zong, let me introduce you. This guy is Xin Jie …"
The introduction of Xin Jie, Four-eyes, and the others was still acceptable. However, when it came to introducing Dai Yilan Bing and her entourage, Ji Chenxue's eyes widened.
Ding Meng said, "Yes!"
Ji Chenxue still couldn't believe it. "The four of them are your wives?"
Ding Meng didn't need to answer this time. Dai Yi stepped forward. "Yes, we are. Ji Zong, what do you think?"
Ji Chenxue smiled bitterly. "Forgive me for being ignorant, but the Empire is monogamous."
Lu Qing said, "But this is the Holy Grail Federation. Even in the God Wars Galaxy, Ding Meng can marry as many wives as he wants as long as he's strong enough."
Eisendale immediately jumped out. "Yes, but he has to be able to afford it …"
Xin Jie joked, "Don't make it difficult for him. With his current ability, he can't even afford to raise me, let alone you guys."
The four-eyed man immediately jumped up. "Brother Ding, please raise me. I'm cheap. One pack of Jinfu Rong every day is enough."
The Russian next to him kicked him down. "You uncultured thing. That's Hibiscus King, not Jinfu Rong. You idiot …"
The girls covered their mouths and laughed. Ji Chenxue couldn't help but laugh. Xin Jie wasn't joking. Ding Meng's wives were all beautiful, but they were all first-class experts. To raise such a group of beauties, it would take an astronomical amount of resources. Only a rich man could afford it.
Lan Bing stepped forward and politely extended her hand. "Ji Zong, please come in!"
The group quickly sat down in the hall on the first floor of the villa. Ji Chenxue took off his necklace and respectfully handed it to Little Rascal.
Little Rascal studied the necklace and didn't say anything for a long time. Everyone in the room looked at her.
After a long time, Xiao Ai sighed. "This is the Divine Light Necklace of Star General Rong's wife, Xinglan. Senior Xinglan is also one of my Star General Miao."
This was the first time Ji Chenxue had learned the name of the senior who had taught her the Divine Light Necklace.
Little Rascal nodded. "I didn't think she would pass the necklace to you."
Ji Chenxue was very respectful to Little Rascal. "Senior Xinglan instructed me to follow the princess's orders."
Little Rascal sighed. "Ding Meng's analysis is correct. The Star General may have already died in battle."
Back then, the two generals had protected her as they fled. Unfortunately, General Rong had died in battle, but Xinglan had survived and even cultivated a human form. The twists and turns of this story were unknown.
Little Rascal returned the necklace to Ji Chenxue. "Keep it. Since the Star General passed it to you, you're also one of the chosen ones. Also, you don't need to call me princess. Just call me Little Rascal. After all, I've already cultivated a human form."
Ji Chenxue could only put the necklace back on his neck.
Xin Jie clapped his hands and said, "Ding Meng, we've actually gathered here today because we have an important decision to discuss with you."
Ding Meng was curious. "What decision?"
Xin Jie turned his head and said, "Let Big Sister Bing explain it to you!"
Lan Bing said with a serious expression, "With everyone's current cultivation speed, they've all reached their respective bottlenecks. Furthermore, the construction of the base requires even more energy. We're currently lacking in energy. To be more precise, we're in dire need of it."
Ding Meng nodded. This was also the reason why he had been running around for so long.
Lan Bing said, "However, it's not realistic to rely on you alone. Everyone should work together and develop energy through multiple channels. Only the more complicated and troublesome problems can be left to you. Therefore, I've discussed this with Miss Eisen, and we've decided to establish a proper company to operate. Big Sister Little Rascal and Big Sister Xiao Ai have also agreed to this idea."
Ding Meng fell into deep thought. "I see …"
He was good at fighting and killing, but he was an idiot when it came to management.
Xin Jie smiled. "You don't have to worry. Big Sister Bing and Big Sister Xia used to be CEOs, so they have experience. Miss Liang used to be the vice president of the Water Cherry Club, so she also has relevant management experience. Auntie Yao, Big Sister Wen He, and I can provide technical and field support for the company. Ding Meng and the others can also escort everyone …"
Ding Meng couldn't help but ask, "You all have a division of labor. What about me?"
Eisendell quickly said, "You'll pay for it!"
Ding Meng was immediately amused. So, you guys are eyeing my wallet?
"How much does it cost to start a company?" Ding Meng asked carefully.
Lan Bing said, "That depends on what scale the company is going to be."
Xin Jie said, "My opinion is that it should be a comprehensive international trading company that focuses on energy development and also takes into account mechanical manufacturing, biology, materials, space network technology applications, entertainment, etc."
Ding Meng said, "Sounds like it's going to be a big one!"
Xin Jie said, "It definitely won't be small. The initial estimate is this amount."
He held up four fingers. Ding Meng asked curiously, "Four billion?"
Xin Jie's eyelids also drooped. "Four billion isn't even enough for Auntie Yao to build a prototype for you."
Ding Meng sighed. "Alright, I'll pay 40 billion then."
"No, no, no!"
Xin Jie hurriedly said. "What can you do with 40 billion? Your Prince and Frog battle armor costs hundreds of billions. It'll cost at least 400 billion."
"400 billion?"
Ding Meng immediately jumped up. He had worked so hard to earn 400 billion in the Beidou casino. If he threw it all away, wouldn't he be back to square one? "Forget it. I'll take care of you, four-eyed Russians. Let's make a deal. One pack of Minghongshan and one pack of Wangfu Rong a day. Nothing more …"
