A soft, delicate body embraced me from behind, and sweet little hands gently stroked my form. "Though the form you transform into is mighty, I still prefer you like this, my husband. I love you."

This time I heard clearly. Turning around, I saw it was none other than Long Nü. "Long Nü, it's you. I thought Elena had perished with you. I hope Zhu Da and Cai Bao’er managed to bring her back to the modern age. It's a pity we dragged the Tiger into this mess."

Another delicate body lunged at me, and those voluptuous mounds—I knew instantly who it was. "Husband, you wouldn't dare send me back alone? Even if you would, I wouldn't let you. If we leave, we leave together. I absolutely forbid you from staying here alone with Long Nü; I'll get jealous."

Long Nü retorted, "Fine, Sister Nana. I don't get jealous when you two spend every night together, yet you get jealous because the Dragon Envoy stays with me for a couple more days? I won't call you big sister anymore; you have none of the qualities of one."

Elena pouted, sticking out her little mouth. "If you don't call me sister, I won't let you nurse either. It seems like you always nurse more than Husband, every single time."

Long Nü scoffed, "If you don't want to, then don't. It seems like you're the one who enjoys nursing the most. Let's see who gives up first."

I quickly stepped between them. "You two stop discussing such things! Elena, how did you die too? Weren't Zhu Da and Cai Bao’er protecting you? Did Kang Hui and the Men in Black really detonate the nuclear bomb beneath Dragon Mountain City? It seems we truly suffered a crushing defeat. To think that I, Zhao Qian, was so magnificent six thousand years in the future, only to be utterly routed six thousand years in the past."

Elena completely ignored Xue standing nearby and kissed my lips passionately. "What nonsense are you spouting? Who died? Don't tell me you don't like me anymore and are wishing death upon me?"

I hurried to clarify, "That's not what I meant. Of course, I hoped you survived and could return smoothly to six thousand years hence, but fate had other plans. Isn't this the hospital in Paradise? Even if it's a bit rudimentary, at least we are all together. It's just a shame about the wives back home—are they lonely and uncared for..."

"Hahaha..." Elena suddenly burst into laughter, embracing Long Nü. Finding it still insufficient, Elena dragged Long Nü and ran outside. "Everyone, come look! Someone says this is the hospital in Paradise! Hurry out and look upon the god in your eyes!"

Elena had thoroughly confused me. I clearly remembered my body exploding, yet here I was, perfectly fine, and neither the Men in Black nor Kang Hui were anywhere in sight. If we weren't dead, what exactly happened? Xue babbled beside me, but I couldn't understand a single word. Judging by her look, she seemed to want me to undress. Could it be that even in Paradise, she was still focused on procreation? Seeing her eyes fixed intently on my lower regions, I figured I should quickly slip out and hide.

Bang! As soon as I opened the door, I slammed into a mountain of flesh. I focused my sight and saw Zhu Da. Damn it! They truly let no one off!

I held onto Zhu Da. "Commander Zhu, my brother, I am sorry for dragging you back to prehistoric times. Now that everyone is dead and cannot return to the future, you can't even meet your parents in Paradise. I am guilty."

Zhu Da suddenly slapped me hard. "Commander Zhao, are you truly mad?"

He shook me hard to clear my head. "Wake up! Who said we are in Paradise?"

I questioned him dubiously, "People as kind as us wouldn't end up in Hell, would they?"

"Damn it, you've truly defeated me. We aren't dead, so there's no Heaven or Hell," Zhu Da stated.

Ah! Hearing Zhu Da say that, I suddenly began to understand. Yes, why did I insist on believing I was dead? Who could guarantee a miracle wouldn't happen? Most likely, Zhu Da and Cai Bao’er secretly followed us and intervened to save everyone at the most dangerous moment.

I patted Zhu Da's shoulder. "Commander Zhu, thank you for shaking me back to my senses. It turns out none of us died. You and Cai Bao’er must have arrived in time to save us. But I distinctly remember my body exploding. Could it be that you re-forged and cloned my flesh and blood?"

Zhu Da replied, "Who saved you? Do I have that ability? It seems you truly remember nothing. Try to recall things clearly for yourself. I need to make way for others."

My head was spinning, and recalling anything felt pointless. I wouldn't let go of Zhu Da, wanting him to explain everything. When I looked up, I was startled by the group of people on the ground. The leader was none other than Long Xi. Since Zhu Da said we weren't dead, I didn't have to worry about my brother-in-law also ascending to Paradise.

A large crowd, young and old, were prostrating and bowing on the ground. Startled, I rushed over to help them up. "What are you doing? You are truly confusing me! Get up, get up quickly, or I’ll start kowtowing too."

Long Nü seemed to resume her translator duties. She walked over and embraced me from behind again. "Husband, do you really remember nothing?"

I answered, "I only remember you being choked by the Men in Black, me being unable to reach you in time to save you, and then my body exploding. Oh, and I remember you always only called me Dragon Envoy. Heh, why the change in address?"

Long Nü pressed her head tightly against my back. "After this incident, I feel that only the term 'Husband' can better express my love for you. Long Nü will never leave your side. You must treat me the same way you treat Sister Nana and the others."

I turned back and embraced Long Nü in front of everyone. "Don't worry, I definitely will. But I'm completely bewildered right now, so you must give me an explanation—what exactly happened?"

Long Nü winked playfully. "I won't tell you now. Dinner is ready; we'll talk after we eat tonight."

Then, from behind the crowd, I spotted Xia Hu Ren. He gave me a slight smile and remained silent. Soon, Cai Bao’er rushed over, shouting, "Brilliant, Commander Zhao! I knew following you was the right choice! A true Son of Heaven! I thought the legends of the ancients were utter nonsense, but I never imagined they exaggerated even a little bit. That display was truly capable of overturning seas and stirring up revolution! Get me a Dragon Seed for my sister later, so your Dragon Uncle can bask in the reflected glory."

Just as I was about to ask Cai Bao’er what exactly happened—what 'Son of Heaven' or 'Dragon Seed'—thinking he had gone mad wanting to be my brother-in-law again. I had already promised I wouldn't mind Cai Jingjing even if her illness couldn't be cured, yet he was still persistent. Before I could even open my mouth to question Cai Bao’er, Long Xi stood up and took my hand. "Let's go eat, Dragon Envoy. You saved Tai Hao once again; I truly have nothing more to say."

I quickly realized where we were: on an interstellar spaceship! After a thoroughly bewildering evening banquet, amidst a chorus of praise, Elena and Long Nü escorted me into the bedroom, one on either side.

From the sporadic pieces of conversation, I understood that something major had occurred following my body's 'explosion,' something seemingly related to the Dragon. However, knowing everyone was safe, and that Bai, Xue, and the four energy stones were under our control, I wasn't in a hurry anymore.
