The singing abruptly ceased, and the Dragon Girl softly inquired, "Dragon Envoy, what are you thinking about?"

"Just listening to you sing. Your voice is beautiful, absolutely rivaling my quiet wife, Jingjing, who I personally trained to be an expert."

The Dragon Girl was not embarrassed by such praise. "It sounds good? I don't think so. Earlier, you and Nana were being naughty, attacking from above and below, which made me cry out involuntarily. Is that sort of thing considered shameless where you come from?"

I held onto Elina's breast with one hand and reached for the Dragon Girl's chest with the other. "It can't be put that way. By our standards, being wanton in front of your own husband is a good thing, because no man likes a stiff girl; they prefer it when she's wilder and wilder in bed."

The Dragon Girl puckered her lips and kissed my face. "I know, you told me before. A noble lady in public, reserved in private—that's the old way. But in our era, we can be wild even under the covers. However, I won't be. I will follow the Dragon Envoy's teachings. When you tell me to be wild, that is when I will be."

The Dragon Girl's murmur near my ear made me intensely restless, and coupled with her captivating display just now, the part of me below started to grow unruly again. "Dragon Girl, I want you to be wild right now, but I don't want to harm you."

The Dragon Girl reached out and gently caressed my treasure. "My dear Dragon Envoy, could you have a little patience? The intensity of your body is too tyrannical; I fear even touching me might cost me my life. We mustn't play with fire and get burned. How about I call Sister Nana up, and you two start again?"

I closed my eyes and sighed. "Forget it then, let's just sleep. She's tired too. But mark my words, one day I will show you my might, and I guarantee you will cry out even louder than before."

The Dragon Girl rested her head on my chest. "I saw a demonstration of it just now. Sister Nana cried so pitifully, I wish I could have helped her."

Enduring the fire of desire while holding the breasts of both women, I drifted into a daze, only to be abruptly awakened by a loud pounding on the door: "Commander Zhao! Something terrible has happened! Get up quickly!"

I shot up from the bed in one motion, startling the two women in their sleep, who instinctively clung to each other. As I pulled the door open, I saw them standing there half-naked, their chests exposed. "Hurry and cover yourselves! It's Zhu Da."

The door opened, and Zhu Da stood there wearing only his large shorts. "Commander Zhao, things are dire! We just received emergency intelligence. That bastard Kang Hui just detonated three nuclear bombs sequentially—one in Europe, two in India. He’s already sent us a threatening message demanding we hand over the genetic species and the energy stones, or he will continue destroying other major cities!"

What was destined to arrive had finally arrived. This prehistoric nuclear catastrophe seemed to be real. I couldn't stop the turning wheel of history; it appeared the Great Flood would descend upon humanity as the Moon's creation approached. Alas, I must inform the Dragon Head to prepare early.

In the temporary royal palace of Dragon Mountain City, the lights burned bright. Long Xi sat on his throne, his face etched with sorrow and anger. The news was confirmed: three cities with populations exceeding five thousand had indeed been reduced to ashes. For the prehistoric people, whose collective desire energy was depleted to only one hundred thousand, this was a catastrophic blow.

"Kang Hui! I swear I will never stand with you!" Long Xi slammed the table and roared.

Someone below tried to placate him. "Your Majesty, now is not the time to settle scores with Kang Hui. He has issued an ultimatum: hand over the two treasures within one day, or he will detonate more nuclear bombs. Your Majesty, please decide quickly."

"No!" Long Xi shook his head firmly. "Even if he kills me, he won't succeed. A scum like him gaining those two items would only bring eternal disaster upon humanity."

"But if we don't give them to him, he will destroy the entire Earth!" someone reminded Long Xi.

Long Xi was momentarily stumped and turned to me with a look of appeal. I, too, was at a loss. Firstly, this nuclear disaster was unavoidable. Secondly, Kang Hui was in the shadows while we were in the light; even if we had the strength, we had nowhere to apply it. In the future world, fighting nuclear weapons required fighting fire with fire. Though we possessed thirteen nuclear bombs ourselves, Kang Hui's rebels were scattered and nomadic, leaving us nowhere to strike.

I shook my head helplessly, seeing Long Xi’s deep disappointment. But I wasn't an immortal; I couldn't just speak a word or cast a spell to solve everything. If I could, why would I need to travel six thousand years into the future?

The meeting ended without resolution. The next step could only be to contact the rebel informants outside Dragon Mountain City via secured channels to negotiate with Kang Hui. The result of the negotiation was that Kang Hui would allow me to bring the four gems along with Bai and Xue to a designated location for the exchange; otherwise, he would detonate three more nuclear bombs by dawn the next day.

Long Xi remained hesitant until news arrived the following day that three more major cities had been destroyed.

"We can wait no longer! I will take the energy stones and perish together with Kang Hui!" Long Xi exclaimed, agitated. This king was rather impulsive, constantly talking about mutual destruction; he hadn't even considered if the enemy would cooperate.

I stopped him. "You cannot go. I will go. Taishou still needs you to govern, and besides, you cannot defeat Kang Hui. Going would only be a pointless suicide."

"I will go with you," Xia Huren stepped forward to offer.

I nodded. "Commander Zhu and Commander Cai, you both stay behind to defend. In case Kang Hui uses our absence to sneak-attack Dragon Mountain City again, you two must protect everyone's safety."

"Understood," Zhu Da and Cai Bao'er confirmed. "But are you truly taking the items over there? It will be incredibly dangerous on their turf."

I replied, "Humans can be faked, but those four energy stones cannot—that is something we absolutely cannot counterfeit. Do not worry. History has decreed that those items belong to us in the future; no one can change that fate."

The Dragon Girl stepped forward. "Dragon Envoy, you must take me with you, or I won't be able to communicate with Kang Hui."

It was true; without the Dragon Girl, nobody would understand a word of the conversation, and they might not even figure out the exchange location.

I agreed and then sought help from Bai and Xue to create perfect replicas of ourselves, but we ran into trouble. It turned out Kang Hui knew Bai and Xue intimately; any forgery would be recognized instantly. Kang Hui had already threatened to destroy the remaining eight major cities if he didn't receive a definitive answer immediately. I knew this madman was capable of carrying it out; it seemed this time we truly had to risk it.

Bai generously said, "Dragon Envoy, don't worry about us. We've entered and exited the rebel base several times without incident. Kang Hui wouldn't dare harm us because he needs us to work for him. For the future of Taishou, take us along."

At that moment, I had no other option. After final preparations, the five of us boarded the saucer to fly to the first location specified by Kang Hui. Someone there would inform us of the next stop. Kang Hui intended to use distance to mask his movements; due to the saucer's limited communication range, once we flew a certain distance from Dragon Mountain City, we would lose contact.
