Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

Inside the clothing store of the Shen Wu Xian Zhou, various elegant clothes hung full on the racks; warm, soft lamplight fell on the fabrics, making each piece appear even more exquisite.

Hei Ta stood before the full-length mirror, tiptoeing, carefully examining herself in the reflection.

A black cross-collared ruqun, its hem embroidered with fine purple gauze floral trim, set off her figure as even more delicate and lively.

Paired with the stockings she often wore and the newly bought exquisite high heels, her brows and eyes were full of playful charm, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upward slightly:

"This Shen Wu Xian Zhou's style is quite fashionable, not outdated, not bad not bad; this genius looks good in anything!"

She reached out and touched the decorative small button at the ruqun's collar — a Q-version Doomsday Beast, its round, chubby appearance extremely cute.

Hei Ta raised her brows slightly, muttering to herself: Although the design is a bit strange, it's still pleasing to the eye, barely worthy of this genius.

To the side, Ruan Mei held a Qinglu Cloud Pattern Qipao, gently holding it up before her, her gaze briefly comparing the fabric's pattern with her own figure, then she nodded slowly.

As a genius, she needed no fitting; with a single glance she could precisely judge whether a garment would fit — this confidence was already engraved in her bones.

Ruan Mei set down the qipao, her gaze landing on Hei Ta who was facing the mirror taking selfies; a trace of shallow amusement flashed in her eyes, and she spoke in a gentle tone:

"If you like it, stay here; with the General's martial power standing guard, no one will disturb your research, and no one will dare make things difficult for you."

Hei Ta was facing her phone screen admiring her beautiful photos, the smile on her lips brilliant beyond compare, but upon hearing Ruan Mei's words, her smile froze instantly, then collapsed.

Hei Ta's face began to turn gloomy, her tone turning grit-teeth furious:

"This genius absolutely won't stay here! Who wants to stay in a place where that bastard stays!"

The moment she thought of that guy Xuan Ge, who actually dared call her 'brother,' Hei Ta trembled all over with rage.

Earlier when doing experiments with Ruan Mei, she had inadvertently boasted, saying Xuan Ge addressed her as brothers.

By the way she teased Ruan Mei, saying Xuan Ge was overly polite to her, only willing to address her as 'Miss Ruan Mei.'

But at that time Ruan Mei merely smiled without speaking, and did not respond.

Later, from Ruan Mei's two assistants Dan Shu and Yu Fei, she secretly pried out the truth.

That bastard Xuan Ge, it turned out he called her 'brother' because he felt her chest was too small!

And although Ruan Mei was somewhat fuller than her, she still hadn't reached his mental standard of a 'lady,' so he politely addressed Ruan Mei as 'Miss'!

The more Hei Ta thought, the angrier she got; her not-large chest heaved slightly, hands on hips, she gritted her teeth and cursed:

"That bastard Xuan Ge! This genius possesses natural beauty!

He's a shallow person, probably doesn't even know how to write the two characters 'natural beauty'!

He actually dares use this to mock this genius, simply unreasonable!"

"Hehe~" Ruan Mei let out a light chuckle, not responding to Hei Ta's words.

Merely her gaze unintentionally swept a glance at a shop assistant hurrying past the store entrance, and a trace of realization flashed in her eyes.

She knew trouble was about to arrive; with Hei Ta slandering the Divine Might General in broad daylight before a crowd, the Shen Wu Corps could not possibly turn a blind eye.

Hei Ta cursed a few sentences, the fire in her heart vented slightly, then she turned again to continue selecting skirts, fingertips brushing over one exquisite fabric after another, in high spirits.

Not noticing in the slightest that several Shen Wu Corps members had already quietly gathered at the store entrance, gazing seriously into the shop.

A moment later, three Shen Wu Corps members stepped into the clothing store; their gazes fell on Hei Ta first, brows furrowing slightly, then they saw Ruan Mei to the side, and helplessness gradually showed in their brows and eyes.

They naturally recognized these two; both were geniuses the General had specifically instructed to receive properly.

Moreover, this lady named Hei Ta — this wasn't the first time she'd cursed the General in the street....

The lead Shen Wu Corps member stepped forward, tone routine yet with a trace of helplessness, softly reminding:

"Hei Ta... Madam, please do not slander the General in public on the Shen Wu Xian Zhou.

Should such a situation occur again, we can only act according to regulations."

Hearing this, the fire in Hei Ta's heart flared up again, yet she had no choice but to forcibly suppress it.

She also knew that if she continued making a scene, the one who would suffer would be herself.

When it came down to it, it was still that bastard Xuan Ge who teased her first; now it had instead become her fault, and this made her feel even more aggrieved.

"Got it got it! So annoying!"

Hei Ta waved her hand impatiently, tone perfunctory; finishing speaking she turned around, continued lowering her head to select clothes, too lazy to bother with these few Shen Wu Corps members any further.

Seeing Hei Ta agree, the Shen Wu Corps members said no more, nodding slightly to Ruan Mei, greeting her politely:

"Miss Ruan Mei, pardon the disturbance."

Then they turned and left the store, maintaining politeness throughout, yet also upholding their duty.

Ruan Mei picked up her chosen Qinglu Cloud Pattern Qipao, walked to the counter, paid first, then stood to the side, quietly waiting for Hei Ta.

Hei Ta selected very seriously, practically picking through every skirt and accessory in the store that suited her fancy, wishing she could buy out the entire shop.

Not until her hands were full of packaging bags did she reluctantly walk to the counter to check out.

After leaving the store, Hei Ta couldn't help but let out a long sigh, tone full of helplessness:

"Forget it, forget it; let's first conquer the Sky-Deficit Syndrome. Dan Shu's eyes have already recovered their sight.

After observing for a period, confirming no problems, we'll continue experiments on other symptoms of Sky-Deficit Syndrome.

After experiments end, hurry back to the space station with me; this Shen Wu Xian Zhou, this genius truly doesn't want to stay a single moment longer!"

Hearing this, Ruan Mei pondered briefly, then nodded lightly.

She currently still hadn't told Hei Ta of her intention to remain on the Shen Wu Xian Zhou.

And behind the scenes, the Divine Might General had long since tacitly approved her decision, specially building an exclusive laboratory for her.

Constructed using the largest Dong Tian, its specifications so high they far exceeded her expectations.

The reason she was willing to stay here was because she had gradually begun to enjoy the life here.

The atmosphere of the Shen Wu Xian Zhou was free-spirited and unrestrained; although its martial fortune flourished, it was yet quiet and elegant.

Moreover, Xuan Ge had never used his General's identity to suppress her; getting along with him was just like with an old friend — his speech was witty and humorous, and he did not treat her as a lofty genius in the slightest.

Nor did he deliberately curry favor; this equality and ease was something she had never felt before.

Although Xuan Ge would always propose some strange and bizarre ideas, they could always indirectly bring new inspiration to her experiments; this was also one of the reasons she was unwilling to leave.

"Hei Ta, that device the General asked you to help make before — can you produce it?"

Ruan Mei turned her head, her gaze falling on Hei Ta, and asked softly.

"Tch~ It's simple, okay!"

Upon hearing this, Hei Ta instantly lifted her chin, her tone full of pride, as if making that kind of device was merely a trifling effort for her.

Then she frowned again, asking with a face full of puzzlement: "But what does that bastard Xuan Ge want to do? Everything's fine, why does he need such a strange device?"

What Xuan Ge had her help make was a super-pressure spatial device, whose function was to let the whole Shen Wu Xian Zhou thoroughly withstand black-hole-level pressure.

Once the device triggered, the Shen Wu Xian Zhou would be enveloped by a layer of transparent black hole pressure; all signal networks would be thoroughly damaged, and the Xian Zhou would also lose any flight capability.

Put plainly, this was a proper self-detonation defense device, incomparably dangerous.

"I really don't understand, what exactly is that bastard Xuan Ge thinking?

Put this kind of device on the battlefield, never mind the enemy — even the Shen Wu Corps' Xuan horses can't withstand this pressure.

Even the Shen Wu Corps' soldiers, if they're careless for just a moment, would be instantly crushed into meat paste...."

Hei Ta chattered on complaining, her face full of puzzlement and dissatisfaction.

Hearing Hei Ta's complaints, Ruan Mei lightly shook her head.

In truth she didn't understand either; if it was to cope with the Vidyadhara war, Xuan Ge clearly could have had Hei Ta manufacture specialized killing weapons capable of resisting the Vidyadhara abominations' armies.

Yet he insisted on this kind of seemingly useless, even extremely dangerous super-pressure spatial device; its purpose, she truly could not fathom.

"Perhaps, this is the resolve of General Shen Wei sweeping the Huan Yu."

Ruan Mei murmured softly, a trace of confusion flashing in her eyes, but she did not think further on it.

Xuan Ge has always been far-sighted and meticulous; every thing he does surely has its reason.

"Enough praising him already! Miss Ruan Mei!"

Hearing Ruan Mei praise Xuan Ge, Hei Ta instantly bristled again, her tone carrying a few parts aggrieved complaint.

"That shallow bastard isn't worthy of being praised at all!"

"Hmph~"

Ruan Mei chuckled lightly, did not retort further, nor say more, merely silently following behind Hei Ta, walking toward the laboratory.
