Cheng Xiaofan spoke with a solemn expression, and Zhang Heng listened intently. In the end, he chose to believe the other person's words. After all, in the spiritual realm of the desert oasis, nothing was impossible. It was quite normal for Cheng Xiaofan to kill a few spiritual beasts for self-defense.
"Xiaofan, give me those ten pounds of river monster meat and the leg of the spotted deer. Since your shiniang passed away, I've recently married a new shiniang who is particularly pampered." Zhang Heng sighed. "When I go back, I can use the meat from the spiritual realm to appease her. You have to understand your master's difficulties!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Alright, Master. Since I said I'd give it to you, I absolutely won't go back on my word!"
With that, he forcefully pulled ten pounds of river monster meat and a beautiful spotted deer leg from his backpack and handed them to Zhang Heng. The river monster meat and the spotted deer leg, though raw, still exuded a fresh and fragrant aroma different from ordinary meat.
Zhang Heng sniffed them and nodded repeatedly, saying, "As expected of meat from animals in the spiritual realm, it's truly extraordinary!" He immediately had Zhou Zhizheng send it to the helicopter.
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan took out another bottle of pills and handed it to Lucy. He said, "Since you non-human cultivators have submitted to me, you are now one of us."
"These pills are greatly beneficial for you to repair your Golden Core. I'll give them to you as a gift!"
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng!" Lucy accepted the bottle of pills with immense gratitude.
Zhang Heng asked, "Xiaofan, did you happen to find any other immortality-related items in the desert oasis's spiritual realm?"
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and said, "Master, you're talking about legendary items. Surely you aren't naive enough to believe in such baseless things, are you?"
"..." Zhang Heng was instantly stumped.
The boy had used the word "naive." How could he dare to say he believed?
Before Zhou Zhizheng returned from the helicopter, Cheng Xiaofan immediately said, "Master, as I said, Captain Zhou will report the specific situation to you in person."
"I haven't seen my Bai Goddess for a few days. You need to understand the desires of a young man. I have to rush back!"
"Chirp—"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Sky-Breaking Eagle flew to his front. Cheng Xiaofan leaped up and sat cross-legged on its back. The Sky-Breaking Eagle let out another cry and turned into an afterimage, flying high into the sky.
"This kid, I still had other things to ask him, and he actually slipped away!" Zhang Heng was so angry that his beard twitched. He stomped his foot and said resentfully.
More than ten minutes later.
Cheng Xiaofan appeared in a pavilion on the back of a mountain in Zhuxi Village. He lay on a rocking chair, sipping newly brewed Golden Tea, while taking out the mobile phone he got from Lucy and inserting a SIM card. It was a dual-SIM phone. His old phone had been destroyed by heavenly tribulation, but fortunately, the SIM card had fallen to the ground without any damage. This SIM card contained the numbers of his Bai Goddess and various friends.
Ding ding ding...
Just then, the phone rang. Cheng Xiaofan looked at the number, which was unfamiliar and from Great Britain. He pressed the answer button, and an old man's voice came through quickly: "Lucy, after you and those non-human cultivators arrived in China, did you enter the prehistoric oasis opened in the desert?"
"What Lucy? I'm Cheng Xiaofan!" Cheng Xiaofan replied angrily.
The old man was instantly shocked and said, "Who are you, Cheng Xiaofan? This is Lucy's phone, which I gave to her. How did it fall into your hands?" Clearly, the old man did not yet understand Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled slightly and said, "This is the phone Lucy gave to me. Do you understand now if I explain it this way?"
The old man roared, "Nonsense! How could Lucy give such a precious and rare phone to a Chinese person like you!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Then you can consider that I snatched it from Lucy. Is that acceptable?"
"Bullshit!" The old man said indignantly, "With Lucy's formidable combat skills, could you possibly snatch the phone from her? That's absolutely impossible."
Cheng Xiaofan heard this and burst into laughter, "Old man, how about this: you can use your imagination and picture how I sweet-talked Lucy into giving me the phone!"
"..." The old man was almost furious enough to faint. This kid was playing with him! He instantly became dizzy with anger and roared, "Kid, who are you?"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed, "Are you deaf? I told you, my name is Cheng Xiaofan!"
*Slap!*
He hung up the phone.
At this moment! In the office of Geslie Company Group, the most famous in Great Britain, Chairman Geslie slammed the phone in his hand onto the floor. He roared at a man in black beside him, "You immediately investigate for me who this Chinese brat Cheng Xiaofan is. How dare he be so arrogant in front of me!"
"Also, find out the whereabouts of those thirteen non-human female cultivators led by Lucy as soon as possible. We've invested a lot in these people over the years, and we absolutely cannot let anything happen to them."
"Yes, Chairman Geslie!" The man in black bowed and left the office.
...
After returning to Zhuxi Village, Cheng Xiaofan did not go home immediately. At night, he still had to go to Nanshan Lake to thoroughly water the high-mountain rice he had just sown with spiritual rain. If Cheng Xiaofan went home, it would be difficult for him to sneak out in the middle of the night. Being a descendant of Shennong was truly not easy. To use magic to bestow spiritual rain on the high-mountain rice, he still had to do it stealthily. What was the difference between this and a bachelor secretly meeting a widow?
After finishing his Golden Tea, seeing that it was already dark, Cheng Xiaofan cooked and ate something, rested a bit, and then left the pavilion.
"Chirp—"
The Sky-Breaking Eagle, sensing him with its spiritual senses, immediately flew over and carried Cheng Xiaofan towards a mountain opposite Nanshan Lake. A bright moon hung in the middle of the sky. Under the moonlit water-like glow, the developed mountains were covered in lush green seedlings, which rolled like waves in the night breeze. The fragrance of the seedlings carried a hint of spiritual energy.
Cheng Xiaofan sat cross-legged on a mountaintop, clasped his hands together in a series of gestures, and streams of colorful light immediately shot up into the sky. The colorful light formed transparent clouds in the sky.
*Crack!*
A crisp thunderclap sounded. Transparent spiritual rain drifted down in layers from the transparent clouds in the sky. Although the rain was very dense, it did not obscure the round moon in the sky at all. In the clear moonlight, the dense rain threads were dreamlike and poetic, with an indescribable beauty.
"Look, moon rain!" Long Xingyun woke up from his sleep, looked at the rain drifting in the moonlight outside the window, and excitedly nudged his girlfriend awake.
