Bengtie: My death fueled their madness.

Black Tower Space Station, Closed Module.

Qi Zhimu stood outside the experimental chamber, seeing Yu Qingtu with such a solemn expression for the first time.

The Black Tower stood beside him, peering inside through the transparent glass.

White Dew is also here.

In the emergency, the Black Tower swallowed the entire bathroom space into the mirror and returned to the space station at full speed.

So Bailu is completely bewildered right now, totally bewildered.

In a flash, they disappeared from Luofu and appeared in a space station that was famous throughout the entire universe, light-years away.

I couldn't help but sigh... Is this the true value of genius?

For ordinary people, interstellar travel is impossible without a vehicle, but geniuses can traverse space and cross light-years in ways they cannot comprehend.

"Zhi Mu, what exactly is the situation with Ruan Mei?"

"I don't know."

Qi Zhimu frowned slightly and recounted the entire journey he had taken with Ruan Mei that day.

Even Black Tower was stunned when he heard this, let alone White Dew.

In short: travel to different grottoes to find plum groves, pick plum blossoms to prepare plum blossom wine.

Is it really that simple?

The truth is that simple. Hei Ta knew that Qi Zhimu would not lie to her, and she had no doubts, but she just couldn't understand it.

There was no physical contact between the two throughout the entire process. Even if there was contact, what does it have to do with Ruan Mei's high body temperature?

In conclusion, Black Tower believes that the reason for Ruan Mei's current situation is absolutely unrelated to Qi Zhimu... Well, we can't be too certain.

There are non-contact accidents among traffic accidents. Heaven knows if Ruan Mei's unusual condition was caused by Qi Zhimu.

"Can your time manipulation ability restore her body temperature to normal?" Qi Zhimu asked.

"I just tried, it doesn't work."

Hei Ta shook his head, indicating that it wouldn't work, and his gaze followed Yu Qingtu as he examined Ruan Mei.

"Any ability related to time inevitably involves cause and effect, similar to a certain causal law in the Path of Hunting Destiny, but it is obviously incomparable to the power held by the Star God."

"Based on the causal resistance reflected in Ruan Mei's body, I judge that either an unknown powerful force is targeting her, or she has done something shocking."

"For geniuses—especially geniuses who have no bottom line—anything they do can be shocking."

"By the way, do you think Ruan Mei has high standards?"

"...That's considered high." Qi Zhimu's tone was somewhat complicated.

He didn't lie; he genuinely believed it.

Ruan Mei's problem lies in her loss of reverence for life and her disregard for many taboos.

Even after becoming a genius, she didn't improve much, but she never crossed the forbidden boundaries that would truly lead one astray.

Qi Zhimu didn't know anything else, but he did know that Yu Qingtu had said: Ruan Mei gave up on resurrecting her parents at the last moment.

"It's undeniable that compared to guys like the original PhD, Ruan Mei has a higher bottom line, but compared to me and Yu Qingtu, there's no comparison."

Black Tower crossed his arms and curled his lip.

"In my opinion, Ruan Mei was probably experimenting on her own body again, which is why she ended up like this. Fortunately, she didn't harm anyone else."

Judging from what Heita said, it's not hard to tell that she had seen similar things done by Nguyen Mai on more than one occasion.

Beside her, Bai Lu's eye twitched at an alarming rate.

I've mistakenly entered the Heavenly Palace... I've mistakenly entered the Heavenly Palace...

The status of the Dragon Lord of Wisdom is so high that it deserves the title of "transcendent" within the entire Immortal Ship Alliance.

On a cosmic scale, he could be considered a powerful being.

However, if the analogy is changed to members of the Genius Club, then there is no comparison, and they might even be so frightened that they want to tremble.

Of course, it wasn't because I was intimidated by meeting three geniuses face-to-face at once.

It's Senior Zhi Mu, Qi Zhi Mu!

She has connections with three geniuses, is in love with Black Tower, and her relationship with the other two seems to be quite complicated as well.

Uh, I just said something completely pointless...

If it were simple, would Ruan Mei accompany him to pick plum blossoms? There must be some basic goodwill between them!

For a long time, Bai Lu's knowledge of Qi Zhimu was limited to his deeds as the Instant Blood Rainbow.

Now, in comparison, it's clear that the scope is much smaller.

Even Marshal Hua of the Immortal Ship does not possess the ability to maintain deep friendships with three geniuses simultaneously.

How exactly did Qi Zhimu manage to do that?

Question marks spread wildly in my mind.

But Bai Lu knew that curiosity was very dangerous, so she suppressed the urge and impulse to ask questions.

Instead, they all wanted to weakly ask Black Tower to send her back to Luofu first...

I'd feel so embarrassed if she overheard something that shouldn't be heard by outsiders.

Qi Zhimu noticed the subtle tension emanating from Bai Lu.

"I'm sorry, Bailu, I'll have Xiaota take you back to Luofu first."

"It's alright, it's alright. Just think of it as a long trip. After all, not just anyone is qualified to visit Lady Black Tower's space station."

Black Tower had a general understanding of the background of this Vidyadhara Dragon Lord from Qi Zhimu, and didn't have any particular opinion about her.

Qi Zhimu's second incarnation was a descendant of the Cloud Riders and a comrade-in-arms of Jingliu.

On the surface, they appear mature and composed, but at heart they are quirky and clever. Their strength lies in their pleasant speech and ability to read the room.

"Then I'll send you to Está, and have her show you around, or I'll arrange for someone to show you around the space station."

"No problem," Bai Lu readily agreed.

She didn't know who Aista was, but she knew that anyone whose name the Black Tower remembered was definitely not an ordinary person.

Space distorted for a moment, and Bai Lu disappeared from her original spot. The next second, she appeared in front of Aistar and together they heard the Black Tower's explanation.

Inside the experimental chamber, Yu Qingtu would occasionally take out medicines of unknown effects and apply them to Ruan Mei, either inside or outside.

More than ten minutes later, a thick green mist gushed from Yu Qingtu's palm, covered Ruan Mei's body, and entered her body through her pores.

Soon, Ruan Mei's skin color changed from dark red to purple, making her look incredibly eerie.

Before they knew it, another half hour had passed, and Ruan Mei's purple skin gradually turned golden.

Qi Zhimu was greatly puzzled, as was Black Tower.

An unrealistic and absurd thought flashed through Black Tower's mind: Surely Ruan Mei couldn't have absorbed and fused with the genes of a chameleon...?

After searching for the problem in silence for a long time, Yu Qingtu finally spoke, his voice solemn.

"Everything's fine for now, please come in."

The glass door of the experimental chamber opened, and Qi Zhimu and the other person quickly stepped inside.

On the lab table, Ruan Mei's skin tone is rapidly returning to normal.

Once everything was back to normal, Qi Zhimu looked away, hesitated for a moment, and then took out a large coat to cover her alluring curves.

"Why be so gentlemanly? It's not like you're losing anything by looking at her. If she were awake, she'd be hoping you'd look at her a few more times and get sexually aroused," Black Tower quipped.

Besides, let alone seeing it, Qi Zhimu has also eaten it... no, wait—

The wording must be precise. It was Qi Zhimu who was eaten, while Ruan Mei was the bad woman who went against the will of the good young man!
