After Cheng Xiaofan disappeared from her sight, Jingzi wiped the tears from her eyes, took out her phone, and dialed the number of the Old Man of the Magic Lamp.
"Esteemed Saintess Jingzi, what is your command!" Since Jingzi had officially become the sect leader of the demonic cultivators, the Old Man of the Magic Lamp's address to her had changed.
This was also a rule in the demonic cultivation world!
Especially with a powerful Cheng Xiaofan backing her, no one dared to disrespect her.
Jingzi said in a deep voice, "Old Man of the Magic Lamp, please gather the Four Elders of the town, as well as the demonic cultivators with leadership abilities on the island, in the ancient castle. I am convening a meeting!"
The Old Man of the Magic Lamp immediately replied, "Understood, I will notify them at once!"
After hanging up, Jingzi murmured in her heart, "Master, Jingzi will absolutely not disappoint you. I will definitely train a formidable team among the demonic cultivators, ready to be dispatched at your command at any time!"
Just as Jingzi rushed to the ancient castle for the meeting, the Sky-Breaking Eagle carrying Cheng Xiaofan had already arrived at Hua Mansion.
Hua Mansion was the capital of the United States. Melina lived on a street in the Columbia District of Hua Mansion, a renowned gathering place for the wealthy.
Cheng Xiaofan, following Melina's provided coordinates, had the Sky-Breaking Eagle land in a patch of woods.
After he dismounted from the Sky-Breaking Eagle, the bird flapped its wings, let out a long cry, and flew to the treetops to rest.
Cheng Xiaofan, hands in his pockets, walked out of the woods at his leisure.
"Mr. Cheng, you're here!" At this moment, Melina ran towards him from a shaded path on the side.
Upon seeing Melina, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but be stunned.
She had changed!
This face looked at least ten years younger.
The Melina who appeared before Cheng Xiaofan looked to be in her early twenties at most.
Her figure had become even more slender and upright, and her golden hair fluttered in the wind behind her head.
She exuded an aura of youthful maiden charm.
Melina rushed to Cheng Xiaofan's side and embraced him tightly, saying eagerly, "Mr. Cheng, I'm so happy to see you!"
"My dear Mr. Cheng, look at me. After taking your Rejuvenation Pill, haven't I become even younger and more adorable?"
Across the way was a main street, bustling with people.
He quickly broke free from her embrace and said with a smile, "Melina, yes, you have indeed become more beautiful and lovely!"
Melina, with a beautiful expression, said, "Mr. Cheng, let's go to my car!"
Not far away, a black Cadillac was parked. Melina walked over, opened the car door for Cheng Xiaofan, and said with a beaming smile, "My dear Mr. Cheng, please!"
Cheng Xiaofan found this appellation from Melina a bit awkward.
However, in a Western country, such terms of endearment were normal, and he couldn't refuse.
He could only nod at Melina and say, "Thank you!"
After Cheng Xiaofan settled into the passenger seat, Melina walked around the car and got into the driver's seat, starting the engine.
Rumble!
This Cadillac was quite powerful, shooting out like a cannonball.
On the road, Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Melina, was your father's birthday banquet very lively this time?"
Melina chuckled, "Yes, it was very lively. Even the President came to attend."
"Last night, my father heard you were coming and insisted on making a big deal of it, but I refused. I told him Mr. Cheng doesn't like noisy occasions and that it wasn't necessary."
Cheng Xiaofan immediately said, "You're right, I dislike such fuss the most!"
As they spoke, they had already arrived at Melina's residence.
It was a villa estate. The pebble-paved driveway was lined with various precious trees and flowers, a pleasing sight.
A green lawn and an exquisite artificial lake.
The entire layout and design of the villa estate were extremely perfect, symbolizing the noble status of its owner.
Melina parked the car to the side, and someone had already come forward to open the car door for them.
"Haha... Is this the respected Mr. Cheng?" At this moment, a man nearing sixty emerged from the villa and strode towards Cheng Xiaofan.
Melina quickly introduced him to Cheng Xiaofan, "Mr. Cheng, this is my father!"
Cheng Xiaofan stepped forward, grasped the hand extended by Miller, and said with a smile, "Mr. Miller, I've heard your name for a long time. I am Cheng Xiaofan!"
Miller shook Cheng Xiaofan's hand tightly and said excitedly, "Mr. Cheng, if not for you, my daughter Melina would have died in the hands of that vicious Hainoji when she came to China!"
"I truly don't know how to thank you!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Mr. Miller, you are too kind. This is what I should have done. Besides, Melina has already paid me for my services!"
Mr. Miller laughed, "Mr. Cheng, you are too modest. Of course, you would be compensated for serving as Melina's personal caregiver for those days."
"Mr. Cheng, let's go inside to talk!"
Upon entering the villa, Melina immediately poured a cup of tea for her father and Cheng Xiaofan.
Miller was not only a famous pro-China figure in the United States but also a true sinophile and particularly fond of Chinese tea, stocking a large collection of famous Chinese teas at home.
The tea Melina had brewed for Cheng Xiaofan and her father was West Lake Longjing.
Cheng Xiaofan took a sip of tea and looked Miller up and down, saying, "Mr. Miller, if I'm not mistaken, there's a shrapnel fragment embedded in your thigh bone, isn't there?"
Miller replied, "Yes, how did you know? Neither my daughter Melina nor I knew about this!"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "I could tell from your qi. This shrapnel has likely been in your body for seven years."
"Although the shrapnel is lodged in your femur, the meridians there are complex, and doctors couldn't remove it, causing you to suffer constant pain for the past seven years!"
"Ah, Dad, is all of this true? Why didn't you say anything? How did you get shot?" Melina asked urgently.
Mr. Miller chuckled, "Melina, what Mr. Cheng said is true. I didn't mention it because I didn't want to worry the family!"
"The person who shot me was an assassin hired by a political rival of mine, but they have already faced legal consequences!"
Melina quickly turned to Cheng Xiaofan and asked, "Mr. Cheng, can you help my father remove that shrapnel?"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I can make the shrapnel lodged in Mr. Miller disappear immediately!"
"Mr. Miller, please go to the bedroom. I will remove the shrapnel for you at once!"
Hearing this, Miller said excitedly, "Thank you, Mr. Cheng, thank you so much!"
He had heard his daughter mention Mr. Cheng's miraculous medical skills, so he didn't ask what preparations were needed.
In any case, he would follow Mr. Cheng's instructions; he knew it would be right!
