The dragon soul requires nourishment from dragon qi, and Cheng Xiaofan naturally understood the meaning behind the dragon pearl, especially since the dragon soul had already merged with his entire being.
Not long after, Cheng Xiaofan had completely absorbed the dragon qi from Nanshan Lake.
The dragon qi entered his body and quickly transformed into his own power.
The dragon pearl seemed to want to devour the dragon qi in the dark river beneath the lake. Unfortunately, that unknown mysterious power suppressed the dragon qi in the dark river so tightly that it was impossible to absorb.
The divine fish floating on the lake surface quickly recovered and dived back into the water.
Cheng Xiaofan observed that the wild miscellaneous fish emerging from the dark river posed no threat to the survival of the divine fish.
It had to be said that Bai Yiling truly possessed the domineering style of a CEO. In less than half a month, the villa on the island in the center of the lake had been completely transformed into the appearance of a grand hotel.
Dozens of pavilions were built along the perimeter of Nanshan Lake, specifically for people to fish.
Although Nanshan Lake could not compare to Bai Mang Lake, it still covered an area of over a thousand mu. From a distance, the lake and mountains were as beautiful as ever.
The weeping willows along the shore, the leisure corridors, combined with the ornamental railings and the ancient-looking stone arch bridges built along the path, and the lotus flowers and four-season lotuses planted at the bends of the lake, created the typical scenery of a small West Lake.
"Xiaofan, what happened to the divine fish in Nanshan Lake?" As soon as Cheng Xiaofan returned home, Miao Xiuhua eagerly stepped forward and asked.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "The weather was unusual last night, and there was a lack of oxygen in the water. The fish experienced a 'fanning' phenomenon. They are fine now!"
Hearing this, Miao Xiuhua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. If those fish had really died, it would have been a great loss for the village!"
Cheng Xiaofan looked around the house and did not find Bai Yiling. He asked, "Mom, where did Yiling go?"
Miao Xiuhua said, "The building at the village office is finished. The technical department here needs to move in this afternoon, and Yiling went to the village office to see the house."
In a few days, Shen Ruobing would bring a group of people to build related factory buildings. Bai Yiling would be busy for some time.
However, with Sakai Koko by her side, and Shen Ruobing involved, as long as Bai Yiling coordinated things properly, she wouldn't be too busy.
Cheng Xiaofan, who had been up since early morning, hadn't eaten breakfast yet. His family had already eaten. He went to the preservation cabinet in the kitchen, took out a bag of pot rice from a large stove, grabbed a handful, put it in a bowl, added a little salt, chopped scallions, MSG, and lard, and poured hot water over it.
The taste of pot rice soaked in hot water, paired with pickled steamed fish slices, was truly delicious.
Cheng Xiaofan remembered that when he was a child, if important guests visited, his mother would often make a bowl of pot rice, add brown sugar, crack three eggs into it, and serve it to entertain them.
He didn't know how many times he had drooled with envy while watching from the side.
Dinglingling!
Just as he finished a bowl of pot rice, Cheng Xiaofan's phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Mei Xueyun calling.
"Xueyun, is something wrong?" Cheng Xiaofan asked.
Mei Xueyun's voice was urgent, "Xiaofan, hurry to the village office. President Bai is fighting with a Taoist priest!"
"..." Cheng Xiaofan was stunned.
His Bai Goddess went to the village office to see a house, and now she was fighting with a Taoist priest?
Besides, how did a Taoist priest end up in Zhuxi Village?
He didn't have time to respond to Mei Xueyun. He pocketed his phone and rushed out the door.
Seeing her son rushing out, Miao Xiuhua quickly asked, "Xiaofan, what happened? Where are you going?"
Cheng Xiaofan, afraid of making his mother anxious, said, "Someone needs me to handle a small matter. I'll be back soon!"
As he spoke, his body flashed, and he was already dozens of meters away.
As soon as Cheng Xiaofan reached the entrance of the village office, he heard a rough roar from the courtyard: "Bitch, if you keep making trouble, don't blame me for using killer moves!"
"Hmph, you stinking Taoist priest, you attacked first and injured someone. Who is making trouble?" This was Bai Yiling's voice.
Immediately after, there was a clatter of fighting.
Swoosh!
Cheng Xiaofan dashed into the village office courtyard.
Instantly, he was stunned by the scene before him.
He saw Bai Yiling locked in combat with an old Taoist priest. Fists and feet flew, neither yielding to the other, fighting in a cloud of dust that obscured the sky.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Cheng Xiaofan would never have believed that his Bai Goddess had learned such formidable martial arts.
His gaze swept over and Cheng Xiaofan saw Bai Jianshan, a friend of Luo Changsheng, lying on the ground, spitting blood.
Luo Changsheng was holding Bai Jianshan in his arms, continuously pressing on his chest.
Clearly, Bai Jianshan had been injured by the old Taoist priest.
Slap!
Cheng Xiaofan said nothing. He flashed between the old Taoist priest and Bai Yiling and slapped the old Taoist priest.
This slap sent the old Taoist priest somersaulting through the air before he crashed to the ground with a thud.
The old Taoist priest, dizzy and confused, didn't know what had happened.
Who had slapped him?
"Xiaofan, you're here!" Seeing her man suddenly appear before her, Bai Yiling said joyfully.
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" Bai Yiling smiled.
"That's good!"
Cheng Xiaofan immediately went to Bai Jianshan and gave him a Shenlong Pill made from snake venom fruit.
In a moment, Bai Jianshan's bleeding stopped.
His previously pale face regained its color, and he looked more spirited.
The internal injuries Bai Jianshan had sustained quickly healed.
Just then, the old Taoist priest finally got up from the ground and shouted, "Who hit me just now? Stand up!"
"It was I who hit you!"
Cheng Xiaofan leaped up and slapped the old Taoist priest again.
Slap!
This slap sent the old Taoist priest flying again, and he landed heavily on the ground.
Although the old Taoist priest didn't dodge Cheng Xiaofan's slap this time, he reacted quickly and scrambled up from the ground.
He glared at Cheng Xiaofan with bloodshot eyes and roared, "Young man, you dare to hit me? Do you know who I am?"
"Who cares who you are? You dare to cause trouble here, and you'll get hit!"
As soon as Cheng Xiaofan finished speaking, another slap sent the other person sprawling on the ground.
The old Taoist priest's face was swollen like a pig's head. He yelled in fury, "Kid, I came down from Jinniu Mountain. If you dare to hit me, the Taoist priests of Jinniu Temple can level your entire Zhuxi Village!"
Slap!
The old Taoist priest was met with another swift slap.
This slap almost made the old Taoist priest cry.
How could young people nowadays have no martial ethics? Knowing I'm from Jinniu Temple, you still dare to attack me?
At this moment, when Bai Jianshan heard that the old Taoist priest was from Jinniu Temple, his face immediately changed.
