"Shennong-daren, thank you for your love towards Lingling!" Zhuxi Wangyue bowed deeply towards Cheng Xiaofan, her face full of adoration.
Cheng Xiaofan was almost collapsing!
Was there ever such a wrongful accusation?
He quickly said, "Wangyue, don't overthink it."
Ginger is spicier when old. Seeing that Cheng Xiaofan didn't want to dwell on the topic, the Earth God immediately said, "Everyone is hungry, let's have breakfast!"
Several women hurried towards the kitchen.
In the kitchen.
Zhuxi Wangyue pulled her daughter aside.
She asked, "Lingling, did you sleep with Mr. Cheng last night?"
Zhuxi Lingling nodded and said, "Yes, I slept with Mr. Cheng!"
Zhuxi Wangyue then asked, "Did you guys do 'that'?"
Zhuxi Lingling looked at her mother doubtfully, "What 'that'?"
Zhuxi Wangyue said, "Silly daughter, it's when you both undress and hug each other, you know, 'that'!"
Zhuxi Lingling shook her head and said, "Mom, that's so embarrassing to talk about. We didn't do 'that'. I fell asleep as soon as I got into bed."
"I slept so soundly last night!"
"..." Zhuxi Wangyue was utterly speechless.
Her daughter was too naive!
After all that, they had only slept together platonically!
Alas!
It seemed she would have to guide this silly daughter well in the future.
She said speechlessly, "Daughter, help serve breakfast!"
Today's breakfast was wild pheasant soup stewed with mushrooms, with goji berries and red dates added. The steaming broth emitted a tantalizing aroma.
"This soup is excellent, pure and original, very much to my taste!" Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile.
The Earth God chuckled, "To be able to drink such delicious wild pheasant soup, we have to thank Baozipi!"
Cheng Xiaofan was stunned, "Old Tu, what does my Baozipi have to do with this?"
The Earth God smiled and said, "Not long ago, Baozipi came here to play. For some reason, it fought with two wild pheasants on the mountain and killed them."
"Baozipi carried the two wild pheasants over and gave them to Ye Shisan!"
Cheng Xiaofan hadn't expected Baozipi to come to White Python Lake to play.
However!
This cultivation dog could fly, so flying from Zhuxi Village to here was a piece of cake for Baozipi.
It must have been those two pheasants that were blind to their own peril and provoked Baozipi.
Otherwise, Baozipi wouldn't have taken their lives so easily.
"Old Ye, you finally got to taste the joy of having a wife last night, didn't you?" Cheng Xiaofan's playful side emerged, and he looked at Ye Shisan with a smile.
Ye Shisan's old face turned red, and he stammered, "Thank you, Mr. Cheng, for making it happen!"
Boring.
Besides that sentence, Old Ye had nothing new to say.
Cheng Xiaofan's gaze then fell back to the Earth God.
He said, "Old Tu, I didn't expect that at your age, you'd be so vigorous with our Wangyue!"
"Uh—"
The Earth God looked at Cheng Xiaofan with trepidation, "Shennong-daren, you didn't install surveillance cameras in every bedroom of the attic, did you?"
Huh!
How magical!
This Earth God actually knew about cameras?
Thinking about how he often roamed the human world, it wasn't that strange.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled slightly and said, "Old Tu, why would I install cameras in the bedrooms of my own attic?"
"I, I could see it from the energy signatures on you."
Except for Zhuxi Lingling, who was still inexperienced, the two new couples listened to Cheng Xiaofan's words and blushed, dumbfounded.
This fellow's eyes were too sharp.
Even if you could see it, you had to say it out loud?
How embarrassing!
How awkward!
"Haha, I was just joking with you!"
When Cheng Xiaofan saw them all sweating with embarrassment,
he quickly said, "I was just talking nonsense to liven up the atmosphere."
"I wouldn't be able to see such private matters."
"Drink the soup while it's hot!"
Thus!
A chorus of slurping soup filled the hall.
After breakfast.
Konoe Mihiko brought out some more pastries.
These pastries were made by Ye Shisan using wild fruits picked from the deep mountains and other ingredients. They tasted very good.
After eating the pastries, Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile, "I've had the wedding tea, breakfast, and tasted Old Ye's delicious pastries. I should be going back now!"
"Shennong-daren, if you have nothing else to do, why not stay and play for a day?" the Earth God said earnestly.
Ye Shisan quickly echoed, "Yes, Mr. Cheng, why not go back tomorrow."
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and said, "Everyone, I have matters to attend to back home, so I can't delay here any longer."
"I might have to go on a long journey and won't be able to come over for some time!"
"Mr. Cheng, where are you going? Can you take me with you?" the little fox spirit Zhuxi Lingling said.
Cheng Xiaofan reached out and patted her shoulder a few times, "Little Mengmei, the place I'm going to is very, very far away. It's not suitable for you to go with me, and it will be dangerous there."
"Be good, listen to me, and stay with your mother. I'll come to see you when I get back!"
Zhuxi Lingling heard this and had no choice but to nod, "Mr. Cheng, don't worry, I will definitely listen to you and be very good!"
Ye Shisan immediately packed some more pastries and asked Cheng Xiaofan to take them.
Although these pastries were not as good as those produced in Zhuxi Village, they had a unique flavor. Cheng Xiaofan did not refuse and took the entire bag, storing it in his spatial artifact.
"Jeeeee—"
The Sky-Breaking Eagle immediately flew over, carrying Cheng Xiaofan and soaring into the sky.
Watching the Sky-Breaking Eagle carry Cheng Xiaofan away into the sky, Zhuxi Wangyue asked curiously, "Old Tu, Shennong-daren just said he was going to a very distant place. What kind of place do you think it is?"
The Earth God shook his head, "The place Shennong-daren mentioned is beyond my comprehension!"
"Judging by Shennong-daren's expression, he must be doing something important on this journey!"
...
At this moment!
Cheng Xiaofan had already returned to the bamboo attic in the backyard.
"Sky-Breaking Eagle, tell me, will you break through at midnight tonight?" Cheng Xiaofan asked the Sky-Breaking Eagle in the attic.
This was Cheng Xiaofan's premonition!
And this feeling was like waves crashing against the shore.
It struck his heart again and again with immense force.
The Sky-Breaking Eagle immediately responded, "Yes, Master, I feel it should be at midnight tonight!"
"Master, I feel so nervous, really nervous!"
Cheng Xiaofan reached out and gently stroked its head twice.
He said softly, "Sky-Breaking Eagle, don't be nervous, absolutely don't be nervous. With me by your side, I will definitely protect you!"
He took out another roasted lamb leg from his spatial artifact and handed it to the Sky-Breaking Eagle.
"Sky-Breaking Eagle, eat this roasted lamb leg!"
"Thank you, Master!" The Sky-Breaking Eagle did not hesitate, picking up the lamb leg with its beak and tearing and swallowing it.
It also knew that it needed to strengthen its nutrition before breaking through.
Cheng Xiaofan then took out some medicinal herbs from his spatial artifact. These were herbs he had brought back from the spiritual realm of the desert oasis.
He planned to refine two body-protecting pills with these herbs for the Sky-Breaking Eagle to consume.
Taking these pills would enhance the Sky-Breaking Eagle's resistance to the heavenly tribulation.
Immediately, Cheng Xiaofan sat down cross-legged, drew a wisp of spiritual energy from his spatial artifact, closed his eyes, and began to refine the pills with his will.
Spiritual energy rapidly formed a vortex behind him.
With a whoosh, the medicinal herbs were instantly absorbed into the center of the vortex.
