Cheng Xiaofan chatted with Xu Man for a while before parting ways. He then hurried to inspect several other terraced fields and noticed that the golden rice paddies were ready for harvest.
Normally, the villagers would be too busy to handle the entire harvest. Therefore, the task of gathering the rice would have to be entrusted to the monkeys in the forest behind the mountain.
He figured that Er Huang and the two spirit eagles must have trained those monkeys to be almost as intelligent as humans.
Having monkeys help with harvesting rice was an unbelievable feat in the eyes of outsiders and would undoubtedly become another major attraction for Zhuxi Village, drawing countless tourists.
As the sun set, its fiery afterglow illuminated the snow-capped peaks and golden rice paddies, creating a mystical scene.
Several tourists, with their phones and other photographic equipment, were busy capturing this beautiful landscape that was rarely seen in other villages.
When Cheng Xiaofan returned home, Bai Yiling, Shen Ruobing, and Tang Touwan had also returned.
"Goddess Bai, did your afternoon activities go smoothly?" Cheng Xiaofan asked Bai Yiling as they sat down at the dinner table.
"On the whole, it went quite smoothly," Bai Yiling replied. "The women in the village who had been drugged by Yu Tian, upon hearing Grandpa Luo's broadcast notification, gradually arrived at the village office. A total of twenty girls were affected."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan's heart leaped.
He had never imagined that so many girls in Zhuxi Village secretly harbored feelings for him.
If Yu Tian had succeeded, how many families would have been ruined!
Was his charm really that potent?
The destructive power was indeed immense.
Bai Yiling continued, "Xiaofan, after that, Ruobing, Xiuyan, and I conducted a thorough house-to-house check. We discovered two more girls who were drugged but are currently out of town."
Cheng Xiaofan quickly asked, "Who are those two?"
Bai Yiling replied, "One is named Wang Ying, and the other is Mu Lihua. Both of them were sent by the village company for technical training elsewhere."
Wang Ying and Mu Lihua were both young women Cheng Xiaofan had known since childhood. They were considered village beauties in Zhuxi Village.
These two young women had been working out of town for the past few years and had only returned to the village in the last two months.
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Yu Tian's love-inducing poison is very potent. If the poison acts up in them while they are away, it could lead to disaster."
"Where are Wang Ying and Mu Lihua undergoing their training?"
Bai Yiling replied, "Wang Ying is in the provincial capital, and Mu Lihua is in Gangzhou City in West Province."
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "There's no time to delay. It looks like I need to rush to these two locations tonight to deliver the antidote to them."
"Xiaofan, here are the extra detoxifying pills. I'll return them to you!" Bai Yiling handed the bottle of extra medicine back to Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan pushed the bottle of detoxifying pills back. "Keep them with you. In case you discover anyone else who was missed, you can promptly give them to others!"
"I still have a few bottles of this detoxifying pill with me!"
Cheng Xiaofan was truly on edge about this matter and dared not relax in the slightest.
If anything went wrong, it wouldn't just be him who was harmed, but also the entire families of the women involved!
The demonic cultivators of this era were truly malicious to devise such a deceptive scheme.
Hearing him say this, Bai Yiling accepted the bottle of detoxifying pills.
She understood how cautious Cheng Xiaofan was about this matter.
After dinner.
Cheng Xiaofan obtained Wang Ying and Mu Lihua's contact information from Bai Yiling. He didn't even have time to finish his tea after the meal before he summoned the Sky-Breaking Eagle.
"Sky-Breaking Eagle, let's go to the provincial capital!" Cheng Xiaofan commanded.
"Chirp!"
The Sky-Breaking Eagle responded with a chirp and carried Cheng Xiaofan into the sky.
Bai Yiling and Shen Ruobing watched Cheng Xiaofan disappear into the night sky, unable to help but sigh inwardly, realizing that being too outstanding brought its own set of troubles.
In the blink of an eye, the Sky-Breaking Eagle, carrying Cheng Xiaofan, was circling above the provincial capital.
Following the detailed address given by Bai Yiling, Cheng Xiaofan pointed towards a patch of woods ahead and instructed the Sky-Breaking Eagle, "Let's land in there!"
The Sky-Breaking Eagle executed a dive, plunging towards the woods.
About twenty meters from the ground, Cheng Xiaofan leaped out and drifted down to the ground.
He walked out of the woods, turned right, and after about fifty meters, he found a vacant late-night snack shop.
Perhaps due to the cold weather, business was slow. There wasn't a single customer inside. A middle-aged proprietress, still possessing a captivating charm, seemed bored and was engrossed in her phone.
The proprietress saw Cheng Xiaofan enter and then put down her phone. She approached him with a smile and asked, "Handsome young man, what would you like to eat?"
Cheng Xiaofan sat down at a booth near the window and said with a smile, "Proprietress, I'm waiting for a friend. I'll order when she arrives, okay?"
"Certainly, no problem!" The proprietress immediately brewed a cup of tea for Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan took out his phone and dialed Wang Ying's number. He said, "Miss Yu Ying, am I correct? This is Cheng Xiaofan. I'm at a small eatery diagonally across from your training facility."
"Could you come out for a moment? I'd like to meet with you!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ying on the other end of the phone was overjoyed.
For the past few nights, she had been dreaming of being intimate with Cheng Xiaofan. It seemed that, just as the old man had said, her dreams were coming true.
Cheng Xiaofan was so busy and rarely seen in the village. She never expected him to make time from his packed schedule to come to the provincial capital to meet her.
This was truly a case of devotion not being in vain!
"Brother Xiaofan, please wait a moment. I'll be right there!" Wang Ying replied excitedly.
After ending the call, Cheng Xiaofan pondered for a moment and then dialed Mu Lihua's number. "Miss Lihua, you haven't rested yet, have you?"
On the other end of the phone, Mu Lihua was delighted to hear Cheng Xiaofan's voice. "Brother Xiaofan, I haven't rested yet. Why are you calling me?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "I happen to be out of town, not far from you. I'd like to meet you tonight."
Upon hearing this, Mu Lihua's heart skipped a beat.
She had the same thought as Wang Ying: she had been dreaming of being with him these past few days and missed him terribly. She never expected him to finally appear before her.
How happy she was!
That old man was truly amazing!
When he sold her the bottle of love-inducing tea, he had said that drinking his tea would lead to wonderful dreams and that those dreams would come true.
It was indeed incredibly accurate!
"Brother Xiaofan, thank you for coming to see me so late at night!" Mu Lihua was so moved that she was almost in tears.
Cheng Xiaofan said, "We can discuss anything when we meet!"
"Okay, let's talk when we meet, let's talk when we meet!" Mu Lihua quickly agreed.
Just as Cheng Xiaofan hung up the phone, the proprietress walked over and said coldly, "Young man, you're quite the flirt!"
"You just arranged to meet one young lady here, and now you've arranged to meet another. You're intentionally leading these girls on!"
