It was already past three in the morning when he returned to the attic on the back mountain. Fortunately, Cheng Xiaofan was protected by dragon qi, otherwise, after that fierce battle, his clothes would have been stained red with the blood of the demon sect members.
Fortunately, there wasn't a single drop of blood on his clothes.
However, after returning, Cheng Xiaofan still took a bath and changed all his clothes.
As soon as he lay down on the bed, he noticed more than ten text messages from his "white goddess" on his phone. Upon opening them, he saw they were all inquiries about how he had dealt with the kidnappers.
The last message was sent just as Cheng Xiaofan was showering.
Clearly, Bai Yiling, worried about his safety, had not yet fallen asleep.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately replied with a message, stating that the kidnappers were from Sakura Country and had all been dealt with.
He omitted the specific details.
*Ding ling ling!*
As soon as the message was sent, Bai Yiling called.
"Yiling, why aren't you resting yet?" Cheng Xiaofan asked with a smile.
Bai Yiling sighed softly and said, "How could I sleep? I just wanted to hear your voice. Now that I can hear you speaking, I can finally relax!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "Don't worry, the man in your dreams will never be in trouble, no matter the time!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean, the man in my dreams?"
Bai Yiling was flustered by his teasing. "Last night, when you left the hotel, we all dispersed. Was Xu Man unharmed by the kidnappers?"
Cheng Xiaofan replied, "No, she's fine!"
Bai Yiling said, "That's good. Get some rest!" She didn't ask any further questions about the kidnappers who abducted Xu Man. If Cheng Xiaofan didn't volunteer the information, she would never ask.
In Bai Yiling's heart, her mysterious man always had his reasons for whatever he did. As long as he was safe, that was all that mattered.
"Okay, then I'll see you in our dreams!" Cheng Xiaofan teased his "white goddess" before hanging up.
Unfortunately, Cheng Xiaofan did not meet Bai Yiling in his dreams.
He slept soundly until just before dawn, without even a dream.
Cheng Xiaofan had something on his mind and woke up very early.
He was still thinking about the promise he made to Miao Dachun yesterday to deliver grass.
After preparing a simple meal, Cheng Xiaofan rode on the back of Po Tianying to White Python Lake.
White Python Lake was vast. Cheng Xiaofan didn't want to disturb Ye Shisan, so he found a spot and cut about six hundred catties of green grass.
This grass had almost mutated, with broad, tender leaves that were succulent and rich in nutrients.
Cheng Xiaofan bundled the grass and moved it all into his spatial dimension.
Looking at the dense grass along the banks of White Python Lake, he decided to release a batch of goats here in a few days to let them grow and breed naturally.
Since he had contracted White Python Lake, he had to maximize its benefits.
Cheng Xiaofan returned to the attic on the back mountain and immediately called Bai Yiling.
The call connected, and Cheng Xiaofan immediately said, "Yiling, are you awake?"
Bai Yiling chuckled, "I've been up for a while. Why are you calling so early?"
Cheng Xiaofan originally wanted to say he missed her because he didn't dream of her last night, but he worried that it might be too much for his "white goddess" so early in the morning. Thus, he decided to talk about business.
"Yiling, I've cut a pile of grass on the back mountain. Could you ask Luo Cheng to help me deliver it to Miao Dachun's home in the village where my mother's family lives, in the dike area?" Cheng Xiaofan said.
Actually, Cheng Xiaofan had Luo Cheng's phone number. He could have directly asked Luo Cheng for help.
However, Luo Cheng was still someone from Bai Yiling's former company, and according to regulations, he couldn't be borrowed casually. Even though Bai Yiling was now his, everything still had to follow proper procedures.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yiling immediately laughed, "Why don't you call Luo Cheng directly?" She knew Cheng Xiaofan had Luo Cheng's phone number.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "You are Luo Cheng's direct superior. Besides, he has his own tasks on the construction site on the back mountain. How can I bypass you, the president, and directly requisition him?"
"In any case, this doesn't comply with the rules!"
Bai Yiling laughed, "I didn't expect you to be so particular about these things!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily, "I am a person who abides by the rules the most!"
Bai Yiling smiled and said, "Alright, I'll call Luo Cheng right away!"
After hanging up, Cheng Xiaofan immediately went downstairs from the attic, preparing to go to the hotel on the lake island to check on Xu Man.
Xu Man had brought her assistant with her this time.
Her assistant was not found when rescuing Xu Man last night.
He wanted to inquire about that matter.
After descending the slope, Cheng Xiaofan moved the green grass out of his spatial dimension and piled it aside.
Coincidentally, he dug up fifty earthworms from the foot of the mountain, injected spiritual energy into fifteen of them, mixed them together, and put them in a bottle.
No matter how busy he was, Cheng Xiaofan never forgot important matters like selling earthworms.
After finishing this, he saw Luo Yang and Feng Xigua arriving. He said, "Brother Luo, Brother Feng, Luo Cheng will be here with a pickup truck shortly. Could you help him load this green grass onto the truck?"
"Sure, leave this to us!" Luo Yang and Feng Xigua replied.
Then, Cheng Xiaofan sat on Po Tianying and flew towards the lake island.
The people in the area were already accustomed to Cheng Xiaofan flying around in the sky on Po Tianying, so he was too lazy to ride his motorcycle.
After all, Po Tianying was very fast, and the feeling of looking down from above made one feel differently.
"Jeee--"
As Po Tianying carried Cheng Xiaofan to the sky above the lake island, it let out a habitual long cry.
The people living in the hotel on the lake island, upon hearing the familiar hawk cry, knew that Cheng Xiaofan had arrived.
More than ten meters above the ground, Cheng Xiaofan leaped from Po Tianying's back.
At this moment, Long Xingyun, Jiang Xueyan, the three Shui Huli sisters, and Xu Man had all arrived.
Cheng Xiaofan casually handed the bottle of earthworms to Long Xingyun and said, "I'll leave this to you!"
"Master, this is what your disciple should do!"
Long Xingyun took the bottle of earthworms and said, "Others are lining up at the duty room to get numbers. Master, you are busy. Xueyan and I have something to attend to and need to leave!"
"Okay, then you go!"
Cheng Xiaofan shifted his gaze from Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan to Xu Man and asked with a smile, "Xu Man, are you comfortable staying at the hotel?"
"Good, very good!"
Xu Man nodded and smiled, "Mr. Cheng, thank you so much for saving me this time. Otherwise, those devils would have surely taken my life!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly, "Those people were after me. I implicated you!"
"No, no, no..."
Xu Man shook her head repeatedly, "This is all my fault. I kept telling everyone outside that you are my best friend. Coincidentally, those people were staying at the hotel where I was staying. When they heard my words, they immediately targeted me!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan asked curiously, "Xu Man, which hotel were you staying at in town?"
Xu Man replied, "It was the Xinyi Hotel!"
