Cheng Xiaofan took out his phone and saw that it was his "White Goddess" calling.
He pressed the answer button, and the White Goddess said, "Xiaofan, Lake Island Hotel has been fully booked for days. This time, the visitors will be hosted by our family as arranged by the village committee. You must come back for lunch!"
"Oh, okay, I'll be right back!" Cheng Xiaofan couldn't refuse any longer.
He was in the village, and no matter how busy he was, he had to go home to eat. If he kept avoiding them, it would be unreasonable and against the rules of propriety.
Besides, it would also make his White Goddess lose face!
"My beautiful ladies, I have something to attend to and can't stay with you any longer. You are welcome to visit Zhuxi Village again in the future!" Cheng Xiaofan waved goodbye to them.
As soon as Cheng Xiaofan disappeared from sight.
Zheng Xueyue then said to the other beautiful ladies, "Sisters, let's go down the mountain and find Mr. Cheng's mother in the village to get our gifts!"
The beautiful ladies suddenly came back to their senses.
They said in unison, "Okay, let's go get our gifts!"
...
As Cheng Xiaofan descended the mountain, his childhood mischievousness resurfaced.
He concealed himself in the rice paddies, immediately used his disguise spell to change his appearance, and took out another set of clothes from his space to change into.
He wanted to go back and see the monkey rice-cutting scene again.
To avoid being surrounded by reporters, Cheng Xiaofan came up with this plan.
As for his backpack, he had thrown it directly into his space.
As soon as Cheng Xiaofan emerged from the rice paddies, he was stopped by Zheng Xueyue and the other beautiful ladies who were descending the mountain.
"Big brother, hello, do you know where Cheng Xiaofan's mother lives?" Zheng Xueyue politely asked Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately changed his voice again.
He pointed towards Zhuxi Village and said, "Beautiful ladies, enter the village from the east, walk west along the north stream bank for about 150 meters. There is a winery there, which is run by his mother. You will find her there."
"I am good friends with Cheng Xiaofan. Do you need anything from his mother?"
Zheng Xueyue said, "Oh, we came from the capital. We are also friends with Cheng Xiaofan. He asked us sisters to find his mother to collect gifts!"
Cheng Xiaofan's face immediately stiffened, and he said, "What kind of behavior is this from Cheng Xiaofan? You traveled such a long distance, and he didn't even come out to greet you!"
"It's outrageous. When I find him, I will definitely criticize him severely and vent your anger!"
"No, no, no!"
Zheng Xueyue said, "Mr. Cheng has too much to do today. We can't blame him for this."
"Big brother, goodbye!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zheng Xueyue led the beautiful ladies away immediately.
Cheng Xiaofan watched their receding figures and couldn't help but laugh heartily.
Being able to disguise and transform oneself is really fun!
He arrived at the monkey rice harvesting site.
By then, the first group of monkeys had already harvested a large area of rice.
The second group of monkeys followed closely, continuously moving forward and tossing the rice. As soon as the monkeys in front laid down the rice stalks, the others would pick them up and thresh them into the winnowing basket.
Some monkeys that couldn't get involved were busy loading the threshed rice into sacks.
What shocked Cheng Xiaofan was that Er Huang had even mobilized a group of wild boars specifically to carry the sacks full of rice back to the village.
The tourists surrounding the area were continuously cheering.
Fortunately, the monkeys and wild boars had undergone special training. They were not alarmed by the thunderous cheers and applause from the crowd.
Everyone was orderly and focused on their tasks.
"This Cheng Xiaofan is truly extraordinary!"
A provincial leader stood with his hands on his hips, exclaiming, "I must consult him properly later about whether this type of rice can be fully promoted."
Luo Changsheng, who was standing beside him, shook his head and said, "Replying to the leader, I heard from Xiaofan that the rice he cultivated is only suitable for planting in Zhuxi Village and is not feasible elsewhere."
"Why?" a reporter next to him asked.
Luo Changsheng replied, "Xiaofan said that the spiritual energy covered by the Zhuxi Village area is very special and unique to this place."
"He also said that without this special spiritual energy, he wouldn't be able to cultivate this rice, nor could he train these monkeys and wild boars to help with the work!"
Huh!
How magical!
Cheng Xiaofan, listening from the side, was secretly amazed in his heart.
He had never told Luo Changsheng any of this. His impromptu explanation was very professional and spot-on.
The question was, how did he come up with these remarks?
That's right, doesn't Grandpa Luo have a friend named Bai Jian Shan?
Bai Jian Shan is a cultivator and naturally understands spiritual energy very well.
Clearly, Grandpa Luo must have been influenced by this friend.
"Oh, so that's how it is!" The provincial leader nodded with some regret.
He asked unwillingly, "Old Luo, if we invite Cheng Xiaofan to a different location and use other places, can we cultivate the local special rice?"
Luo Changsheng laughed and said, "Replying to the leader, Xiaofan also told me that as a place nurtures its people, he was born a Zhuxi villager and can only recognize the spiritual energy of this land."
"In other places, he wouldn't have this ability!"
Cheng Xiaofan had once told Luo Changsheng that he wanted to build Zhuxi Village in his lifetime.
It seemed that Luo Changsheng had kept this in mind.
Impressive!
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan secretly gave his Grandpa Luo a thumbs-up.
Those words were indeed high-level!
The provincial leader uttered an "Oh" and nodded again.
"Old Luo, I heard you say Cheng Xiaofan is here, but why haven't I seen him all morning?" the provincial leader asked.
Luo Changsheng was anxious when he heard this and said, "This kid, ever since he was young, he's been a slippery eel, disappearing as soon as he's out of sight!"
"I'll call him right away!"
Cheng Xiaofan, upon hearing this, quickly turned off his phone in fear.
He was right beside them. If Luo Changsheng dialed the number and his phone rang, how would he explain it to these people?
Luo Changsheng made several calls to Cheng Xiaofan, all of which showed that the phone was turned off.
"What's going on? Why is this kid's phone turned off?" Luo Changsheng stomped his feet anxiously.
Cheng Xiaofan quickly interjected, "Grandpa Luo, please don't call anymore. Cheng Xiaofan's phone fell into the water and was taken to Jinbao Town for repair."
"He should be back soon!"
Luo Changsheng was stunned and looked at Cheng Xiaofan, asking, "Young man, how do you know Xiaofan's phone fell into the water?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Grandpa Luo, I am Cheng Xiaofan's friend. A while ago, he was playing with me by Nanshan Lake, and he accidentally dropped his phone into the lake."
"After he retrieved the phone, he rushed to town to have it repaired."
Luo Changsheng believed him and smiled, "Oh, thank you, young man!"
Cheng Xiaofan turned around and hurried home.
When he reached his doorstep, Cheng Xiaofan immediately saw his White Goddess pruning branches in the yard and called out to her, "White Goddess, come here for a moment!"
Bai Yiling turned her head and saw a young stranger.
She put down her pruning shears and walked over, asking, "May I ask who you are?"
Cheng Xiaofan grinned and said, "You don't need to know who I am. What I need to tell you is, White Goddess, your man is missing!"
