As she sat beside her niece on the flying car, Zhao Qing looked around the area they were passing through with a completely astonished expression, especially everything inside the ark that she could only find in sci-fi movies. Even their country and several other countries that are quite advanced in technology still cannot create all of that, and she is sure that they will definitely be eager to obtain all the technology in the ark for their benefit. "Where did you get all this, Yin'er?"
"Aunt Qing, it wasn't me who got all this, but Xiao'er, and he got everything from the person who saved him from death." Zhao Qing immediately turned to Tang Yin with a look full of questions, but she shook her head at her maternal aunt. "We don't yet know who his true savior is, in part because he has locked up all of the information about him so that not even Xiao Ai can access it."
"Xiao Ai?" Zhao Qing was even more surprised to hear that.
"I'm sorry I lied to you before." Tang Yin said that with an apologetic look, but Zhao Qing just shook her head. "Xiao Ai is actually an AI, and her body is an artificial body, both of which were created by Xiao'er's savior. However, she is different from the AI developed by our country or other countries, and she is almost like a complete human being because she can think and understand our feelings."
"An AI, huh?" Zhao Qing muttered to herself. "So the disappearance of Ran Linfeng's wealth and the spread of Yao Wei's confidential documents were Xiao Ai's doing?"
"That's right." Tang Yin then told Zhao Qing. "Xiao Ai's system is connected to all the systems in our world, and all the technology she uses is far more advanced than theirs, so no one can stop or track her actions. The money I gave you before was part of Ran Linfeng's wealth, and his wealth is completely ours now. Not only that, Yao Wei's wealth was also secured by her before, but I have asked her to transfer everything to Feng Xiao's account now."
"Feng Xiao? Is that Xiao'er's pseudonym?"
Tang Yin nodded to her maternal aunt. "That's why I ask you not to worry about Xiao'er, especially since he can enter here whenever he wants, so none of them can catch him. Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to the person behind Ouyang Hong because he is different from the other humans, and he's a very powerful human, so he'll be able to capture him very easily."
"What do you mean by saying that man is different from other humans?"
"In our world, not only ordinary humans live in it, but there are some special people who call themselves cultivators." Zhao Qing became more confused the more her niece explained to her, and Tang Yin then turned to her with an amused smile because of her expression. "You've probably watched such movies before, and I can tell you that cultivators are real, especially since Xiao'er and I are cultivators now, but our cultivation is still too low. Besides, my grandpa, Aunt Yuan, and Aunt Lingyan are also cultivators like us, but they are much stronger than us."
"If they were as strong as you say, why didn't they save your parents from them? If they saved them, they would still be alive now."
Tang Yin let out a heavy sigh upon hearing her maternal aunt bring up the matter. "As I said before, there was a powerful cultivator behind Ouyang Hong, and he was much stronger than my grandfather, so he helped them by stopping him during the incident that night. Besides, cultivators usually do not interfere with ordinary human affairs, and they live in a separate place from us, including my grandpa and aunt Lingyan. As for Aunt Yuan, she is a bit different from them, so she lives among ordinary humans, but she is bound by strict rules."
Although Zhao Qing felt disappointed that Tang Huang and the others did not save her eldest sister and brother-in-law years ago, and she did not know anything about the lives and rules of cultivators, Tang Yin's words made her understand some things about their situation. "Does that mean you brought me here to teach me to become a cultivator like the rest of you?"
"Yes." Tang Yin then took Zhao Qing's hand. "You are our aunt, but you are also like a mother figure to us. If you and Aunt Yuan had not continued to accompany us after the death of our parents, we might have fallen into depression and sorrow long ago. You are one of the important people in our lives, so we can't possibly let you die of old age, and we can live together for a long time if you become a cultivator like us."
"I see." Zhao Qing nodded in understanding and embraced Tang Yin's shoulders. "Honestly, I myself don't want to be separated from you and Xiao'er, and I want to stay with you two until both of you get married, so I can help you look after your children."
Tang Yin smiled awkwardly after hearing that, but she then took out her marriage certificate, surprising Zhao Qing to see it appear out of nowhere. "You can read it yourself."
"This." Zhao Qing looked at Tang Yin in shock after she saw the two names on the marriage certificate, and she realized that it was Xiao Ai who helped them make it. "How is this possible? How could you marry Xiao'er? Yin'er, you two are blood relatives, so this shouldn't happen between you two."
Tang Yin was certainly not surprised by her maternal aunt's reaction, especially since she was still an ordinary human, so she explained to her some things about Tang Xiao's change, but Zhao Qing really found it hard to believe all that. "We will arrive at the laboratory soon, and you will find out that my words are true. Moreover, we have loved each other for a long time, so this is the best choice for us, and Aunt Yuan has agreed to our relationship."
Zhao Qing had a headache after listening to Tang Yin's words, and she found it hard to believe that Tang Yuan agreed with their strange relationship, but she also couldn't wait to arrive at the laboratory to find out the truth of her words.
Before long, they had arrived at the laboratory, and Xiao Ai, who had been waiting for them there, immediately greeted her. "Welcome to the ark, Aunt Qing."
Zhao Qing sighed softly and rubbed Xiao Ai's head. "I still can't believe that you are an AI, especially since you are no different from an ordinary girl in my eyes."
"Haha." Xiao Ai chuckled at that, and she then pulled Zhao Qing into one of the glass capsules. "I am indeed an AI, and my old master created me. Anyway, you can take off your clothes and lie down in this capsule, Aunt Qing. After that, I will help you to become a cultivator, and I will also strengthen your body, so your body will be stronger than other cultivators."
Zhao Qing immediately followed Xiao Ai's words by taking off her clothes, but she also asked her. "Are Yin'er's words about Xiao'er's changes true? Can you show them all to me?"
"My mistress didn't lie to you." Xiao Ai then displayed on the screen the process of changes that Tang Xiao had undergone before, and she also showed Zhao Qing that his current blood was no longer red but violet-gold. "As you have seen, my master is not the old him, and he has become different now, but his change is a good thing."
Although she felt shocked after seeing everything, Zhao Qing finally believed that Tang Xiao had changed, and she turned to Tang Yin just before entering the glass capsule, so Xiao Ai could immediately help her become a cultivator.
As she helped Zhao Qing, Xiao Ai spoke to Tang Yin. "Mistress, my master has said that he won't do anything to those families for now, but he wants to focus on dual-cultivating with you, and he also wants to focus on his training."
"In that case, we will hold back for a while, and I will focus on our new company, so we can destroy them without having to worry about Long Yin and Wang Fuxi." Tang Yin then walked out of the laboratory. "You can take care of Aunt Qing, and I will go to the training ground to train with Xiao'er and Xing'er. If the three women have already woken up, you can order them to go to the small factory, and I want our products to be produced faster."
"Yes, Mistress."

Meanwhile, two people walked quickly down the hospital hallway, but they exchanged confused glances after they arrived in front of an inpatient room, especially since they couldn't find the person they were looking for in that room.
"Nurse, where is the patient who lives in this room? Did the doctor move her to another room?"
The nurse immediately turned to them and asked them. "Which patient are you asking about, Madam?"
"Tang Yin."
"Oh." The nurse immediately told them. "Miss Yuan took Miss Yin home after she woke up from her coma a few days ago."
The two of them were stunned for a moment after hearing that, but their expressions turned to joy because Tang Yin had been in a coma for seven years, so they were truly happy after getting the news.
"Hey, Old Huang! Didn't Tang Yuan tell you about this?"
Tang Huang shook his head at Tantai Lingyan. "Perhaps Yuan'er wanted to surprise me, so she deliberately didn't mention anything to me about Yin'er waking up."
"En, you're right." Tantai Lingyan then walked away, followed by Tang Huang. "In that case, we should go to Tang House now; I'm sure that Yin'er and Xiao'er are there, and I really can't wait to meet them."
Sometime later, they arrived in front of Tang House, but they found no one there. However, Tantai Lingyan suddenly turned her head towards the distance and raised her eyebrows, and Tang Huang followed her gaze. "Isn't she the princess of the Xiao Clan? Why does she seem to be monitoring this house? Could there be something going on that we don't know about?"
"I don't know." Tang Huang replied by shaking his head as he flew away. "Let's go; we're going to see Yuan'er now; she should know their whereabouts."
.
.
.
Xiao Meng, who was hiding in the distance, massaged her forehead. "Sigh, I didn't expect that those two old people would come back here so suddenly, and they would definitely stop us from monitoring them."
After that, Xiao Meng contacted Sun Xiang to tell her about Tang Huang and Tantai Lingyan's return, and she also told her that they were on their way to Tang Yuan's office. "So what should I do now? Should I stay here to monitor Tang Yin?"
[No need; you can stop monitoring that house and return to the office now. Tang Huang probably won't do anything to you, but Tantai Lingyan is a different story, and she won't like it if you monitor them.]
"All right then."
