Harrigan immediately said, "Mr. Cheng is truly a straightforward person. You are correct, I am calling because a friend of mine wishes to visit you. Are you available?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily and replied, "It is a joy to welcome friends from afar. Welcome, welcome!"
Without a doubt, foreigners are foolish and rich. Harrigan's friends must be bringing money.
After the call, Harrigan immediately went to Freeland and reported, "Freeland, I have handled Cheng Xiaofan!"
"Ok!"
Freeland patted Harrigan's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Harrik, I know you are a very capable man. I am very happy to have you as a friend!"
"This time in China, no matter the cost, we must find a way to obtain the detailed recipe and technology for Cheng Xiaofan's Happy Wine."
Harrigan smiled and said, "Freeland, I believe we will succeed!"
Freeland nodded and smiled, "Good, then we will set off tomorrow and try to meet Cheng Xiaofan as soon as possible!"
...
After Cheng Xiaofan had breakfast at home, he got on his Sky-Breaking Eagle and rushed to White Python Lake.
Along the entrances of some stone houses by White Python Lake, there were too many weeds and thorns, and piles of rubble. If these were not cleared in advance, it would be difficult for an elderly person like Luo Changsheng to approach those stone houses.
Fortunately, these miscellaneous tasks did not require Cheng Xiaofan's personal attention. He assigned them to the nine fire-red earth-boring mice.
By the time he arrived at White Python Lake, the earth-boring mice had also arrived, communicating through their spiritual senses.
"Everyone, I have to trouble you again today!"
Cheng Xiaofan pointed at the messy obstacles in front of the stone houses and said, "Clear all of these for me."
"I will walk ahead, and you will follow behind!"
The earth-boring mice squeaked in unison, conveying, "Master, you're welcome. We, the earth-boring mice, will definitely complete the task with quality and quantity!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan nodded with satisfaction and asked with a smile, "Have you finished the energy pills I gave you last time?"
The leading earth-boring mouse immediately took out a bottle from its mouse pouch and showed it to Cheng Xiaofan, saying, "Master, there is still half a bottle left. After we finish this, please give us more!"
It was clear that these little cuties were not greedy at all.
Energy pills could not be consumed indiscriminately; they had to be taken in moderation.
These earth-boring mice were exceptionally intelligent. They knew when to eat and when not to, without Cheng Xiaofan needing to teach them.
"Good, let's start working now!"
Upon hearing their master's command, the earth-boring mice dove into the ground as if plunging into water.
Cheng Xiaofan walked ahead with his hands behind his back, leading the way.
The row of earth-boring mice followed closely behind, clearing the obstacles on the path.
Wherever Cheng Xiaofan walked, the surrounding trees and rocks turned to powder and were spread onto the path, making it smooth and wide.
Even if this road were to be built by manual labor, it might not be as beautiful.
More importantly, the speed was simply too fast.
However, this was the peak of the earth-boring mice's strength.
If they were ten times stronger, the road from the back mountain to White Python Lake would not require so many workers on the construction site.
The task could simply be assigned to the earth-boring mice.
Of course, this was merely a fleeting thought for Cheng Xiaofan.
The road from the back mountain to White Python Lake had to be constructed according to blueprints, with no room for carelessness. The earth-boring mice were incapable of this.
In less than an hour, the earth-boring mice, following Cheng Xiaofan, finally opened up the path.
Turning back, Cheng Xiaofan looked at the road extending from his feet ahead and thought, if it were to be rolled with a stone roller, this road would be solid.
At this thought, a neighing sound was heard.
The chestnut horses, grazing on the grass on the other side of the lake, stirred the lake's surface and rushed forward like flying.
The thirty-six horses immediately arrived on the road, treading with neat steps, their hooves interweaving and moving forward rhythmically, like dancing the tango.
The ground they moved over became as solid as reinforced concrete.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Xiaofan was stunned!
These thirty-six chestnut horses had truly become intelligent!
They could even create a road surface as solid as reinforced concrete just by dancing on it.
However, Cheng Xiaofan also knew very well that these chestnut horses had sensed his inner thoughts through their spiritual connection and had come to try and compact the road with their hooves.
After all the road surfaces were compacted, a buzzing sound came from the sky, and two helicopters slowly descended.
Immediately, a group of people disembarked from the helicopters.
Bai Yiling, with her long hair flowing and her slender waist swaying, walked at the front, followed by Cheng Fugui and Miao Xiuhua, Luo Changsheng, Mei Xueyun, Tang Guihua, and others.
This time, Bai Yiling had also brought Sakiko Sakai.
"White Python Lake is truly beautiful!"
Mei Xueyun gazed at the entire White Python Lake and couldn't help but exclaim.
Just then, Tang Guihua exclaimed in surprise, "Look! There are horses dancing on the lake!"
"My heavens, how can horses dance on water!"
The group stared in disbelief at the scene before them.
"Xiaofan, where did these divine horses come from?" Miao Xiuhua asked, astonished.
Bai Yiling quickly explained for Cheng Xiaofan, "Mom, these thirty-six chestnut horses were all trained by Xiaofan here."
"Perhaps these horses sensed that many people were coming today, and to make everyone happy, they specifically came to the lake to perform!"
Upon hearing this explanation, Luo Changsheng nodded repeatedly and sighed, "Xiaofan is a rare talent of our Zhuxi Village, one in a millennium!"
"Grandpa Luo, let me show you the stone houses left by our ancestors first!" Cheng Xiaofan stepped forward, walked up to Luo Changsheng, and said.
Luo Changsheng immediately said excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes, let's go see the stone houses left by our ancestors first!"
Cheng Xiaofan led the way, stepping onto the newly cleared road.
"Huh, this road seems to have just been cleared!"
Tang Guihua exclaimed loudly with a look of surprise.
Everyone looked at the sides of the road. Waist-high weeds and thorns, and jagged rocks were everywhere, creating a stark contrast with the road in the middle.
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but feel a headache.
How could he explain this to everyone?
"I arranged for workers to temporarily build this road to make it convenient for everyone to visit the stone houses today!"
Seeing the troubled expression on her man's face, Bai Yiling felt a pang of sympathy. Even though she had never lied before, she began to speak without thinking.
She added, "After a while, we will pave the road with bluestone, and it will be much better!"
Luo Changsheng sighed, "Ms. Bai, you are very thoughtful!"
He knew very well that this temporarily built road was entirely for his consideration.
Bai Yiling dared not take credit for herself. She smiled and said, "Grandpa Luo, the decision to build this road was made by Cheng Xiaofan. He said it was to make it convenient for everyone to visit the stone houses here!"
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but praise Bai Yiling in his heart. She was truly his goddess, always protecting her man's image.
He wondered if she also felt a sense of regret that they couldn't achieve a divine soul fusion in the star dragon boat in their dreams last night.
