When Da E Xiao Shan returned to the Demon Bone Saber, Cheng Xiaofan immediately inserted the Demon Bone Saber into the scabbard of the Seven Stars Conjunction.
"Teacher,"
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan said again, "The truly terrifying aspect of this Demon Bone Saber is not Da E Xiao Shan, but a mysterious power hidden within it, capable of destroying a great mountain or wiping out a city with a wave of the hand!"
"And this terrifying power, only I can control!"
What Cheng Xiaofan said was not baseless. After receiving the scabbard gifted by the Demon Ancestor, he realized that this Seven Stars Conjunction scabbard was actually created by Shennong back then.
The reason Shennong gifted this scabbard to the Demon Ancestor was precisely so that the latter would have enough power to restrain the behavior of the demon race.
Now, the Demon Ancestor giving this scabbard to Cheng Xiaofan clearly meant for it to be used against the entire demon realm in the west.
In front of Zhang Heng, Cheng Xiaofan naturally would not reveal that he was Shennong's inheritor, but he broadly explained the purpose of the Demon Ancestor gifting him the scabbard in a dream.
His words caused a twelve-level storm to erupt in the hearts of everyone present.
Zhang Heng could never have imagined, even in his dreams, that his student could travel to a past life in an unfamiliar realm, meet a legendary Demon Ancestor, and be gifted a Seven Stars Conjunction scabbard.
If this were told to anyone in real life, they would likely never believe it, even if threatened with death.
Especially the past life on Earth, such things, to be spoken casually and heard with a grain of salt, might only appear in science fiction novels.
However, Zhang Heng knew very well that what Cheng Xiaofan had just said was not fictitious. From the appearance of Da E Xiao Shan, he already understood.
"Xiaofan, teacher believes everything you say. Since the Demon Ancestor has gifted you the Demon Bone Saber, you are his proxy. No one has the right to take the Demon Bone Saber from you," Zhang Heng said with a smile.
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan's heart immediately relaxed.
He had truly been afraid that his former mentor would turn into a stubborn old man and insist on taking his Demon Bone Saber, which might have led to a complete falling out between them.
Cheng Xiaofan bowed deeply to Zhang Heng and said, "Thank you, teacher!"
At this moment, Hua Fasheng and Jin Yanyun returned with Meilina. Cheng Xiaofan introduced Meilina to his mentor.
Zhang Heng smiled at Meilina and said, "Ms. Meilina, I have heard much of your name. It is a great honor to meet you here today!"
"Thank you, Minister Zhang!"
Meilina briefly shook hands with Zhang Heng.
Her gaze immediately fell upon Bai Yiling.
Her tall figure, her hair like a waterfall, her skin as fair as snow, her eyes like a spring pool, her entire being like a radiant pearl, a luminous jade, as if a fairy had descended, possessing an extraordinary aura.
For a moment, Meilina was stunned by her beauty and exclaimed, "My God, what a beauty! This is a typical goddess!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed and said, "Meilina, this is my girlfriend, Bai Yiling!"
Meilina nodded and said, "On the way back from the park just now, Miss Jin showed me a video of Miss Bai. She's too beautiful!"
"Hello, Ms. Meilina!" Bai Yiling quickly extended her hand proactively.
Meilina held her hand tightly and said, "Goddess Bai, you are truly too beautiful. I also envy you greatly. You are so lucky to have such an amazing boyfriend as Mr. Cheng!"
Bai Yiling smiled and said, "Ms. Meilina, thank you!"
Next, Meilina turned her gaze to Shen Ruobing.
Shen Ruobing wore sky-blue jeans below and a black tight-fitting tank top above, paired with a white shirt. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, making her look very refined and capable.
Meilina smiled and said, "Miss Jin told me that you are Mr. Cheng's disciple, Shen Ruobing. To be his disciple, you must also be a very outstanding beauty!"
Shen Ruobing quickly bowed and said, "Ms. Meilina, you flatter me!"
After a round of pleasantries, they all felt as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.
This scene made Jin Yanyun secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the meeting between Meilina and Bai Yiling did not result in any unpleasantness as imagined.
"Alright, it's getting late. We should have lunch!" Cheng Xiaofan said at this point.
Lu Shengming finally managed to interject, "Yes, yes, let's go eat. Cheng Xiaofan is not only a divine doctor but also a rare chef. His cooking is definitely not to be missed."
The group, chatting and laughing, arrived at the dining room.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Meilina exclaimed as soon as she saw the dishes on the table, and rushed forward.
Those with weaker hearts might have been scared to death by her shriek if caught off guard.
When everyone reached the dining table, they couldn't help but want to exclaim.
The colorful dishes on the table were arranged in neat rows. Between the peaks formed by the stacked plates, layers of white mist softly floated.
The piled-up dishes of various colors appeared and disappeared amidst the swirling mist.
In an instant, the entire table of dishes transformed into a scene of heavenly paradise in everyone's eyes.
Meilina clasped her hands in front of her chest, her beautiful eyes fixed on Cheng Xiaofan's face, and murmured as if in a dream, "Mr. Cheng, how did you do it?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and said, "It's very simple. I prepared the dishes earlier, and to prevent them from getting cold and losing their flavor, I specifically used my true qi to lock in their aroma."
Meilina leaned closer, sniffed twice, and nodded, saying, "Ah, I really can't smell anything!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Once I remove the true qi, you'll be able to smell the aroma!"
With that, he reached out and waved his hand. The mist swirling between the plates instantly dispersed in all directions, and the aroma of the dishes erupted explosively.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Meilina and Jin Yanyun exclaimed in unison.
Meilina cried out even more, "My God, I'm going crazy! The aroma of these dishes is so wonderful, I'm going to die of madness!"
Cheng Xiaofan thought to himself, if you go mad and die, I won't be able to explain it to Hua Fasheng and the others, and I might even be accused of murder.
After everyone sat down at the table, Cheng Xiaofan took out the Thousand Day Drunkenness wine from his backpack and poured a cup for each person, saying, "Everyone, let us raise a toast together to my teacher who has come all the way from the capital!"
"Yes, yes, this cup of wine should first be for our distinguished guest!" Meilina, not treating herself as an outsider, immediately chimed in.
Zhang Heng, an experienced old hand, immediately raised his cup and said to Meilina with a smile, "Ms. Meilina, the person we should toast first should be you. You are the most honored guest in our Huaxia!"
