Did I overdo the act? As Cheng Xiaofan sat on the Broken Sky Eagle, far from Lion Town, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
There was no helping it; no one is perfect, and no gold is pure. Sometimes, he just liked to get carried away!
After more than an hour.
Cheng Xiaofan had the Broken Sky Eagle land in the back mountain.
He knew that Bai Yiling would be resting at this time, so he didn't intend to return to the villa.
Upon reaching the attic, the first thing Cheng Xiaofan did was brush his teeth, clean his mouth, change all his clothes, and take a very thorough bath.
He was afraid of leaving even a trace of dog meat smell on his body, which would upset the little rascal.
Moreover, Bai Yiling also disliked the smell of dog meat.
According to her, she had never eaten a bite of dog meat her entire life.
After doing all this, Cheng Xiaofan was still uneasy and decided to spend the night in his spatial realm.
The special spiritual energy in the realm could completely filter out all the strange odors on his body.
When Cheng Xiaofan flickered and entered the realm, he immediately noticed that more than half of the fifty-plus tons of gold he had stored in the realm was gone.
What!
What was going on? Did he have a thief in his spatial realm?
That seemed impossible.
This realm belonged solely to him, so how could there be a thief?
Could the gold have absorbed too much spiritual energy in the realm and become sentient, running away on its own?
If it were spiritual jade, that might be possible.
But for gold to become sentient, the probability should be very low.
Bang bang bang!
Just as Cheng Xiaofan was completely bewildered, the dragon pearl on his chest began to pulse. Simultaneously, a voice emanated from his Sea of Consciousness: "Cheng Xiaofan, I have consumed that half of the gold!"
"What, you consumed my gold?"
Cheng Xiaofan was so angry he felt like exploding. "Didn't you say back on that island in Great Britain that you wouldn't devour my gold anymore?"
"How can you go back on your word and break your promise?"
The dragon pearl chuckled and said, "Cheng Xiaofan, as the ancients said, 'a time then, a time now.' Different times, different places, and different situations will occur!"
"If I hadn't consumed that gold to strengthen my energy, could your martial skills have easily dealt with Mu Yisheng, the master of wood element cultivation?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan immediately recalled how, when he extended his dragon claws, a golden light immediately erupted from his palm, forming a giant vortex-like energy mass that quickly pulverized the attacking trees and other things.
Not only that, but the strange power attached to the trees was also absorbed by him.
At this point, the dragon pearl continued, "Cheng Xiaofan, you've always wanted to form the Five Elements Alliance. Do you know that within the Five Elements, you've already gained a gold element cultivator?"
"What, you mean you are a gold element cultivator?" Cheng Xiaofan asked joyfully.
The dragon pearl said, "You're mistaken. The gold element cultivator cannot be said to belong only to me. To be precise, it should be us—or more accurately, you, Cheng Xiaofan!"
"When we integrated, you are not only a Shennong inheritor but also a standard gold element cultivator!"
"..." Cheng Xiaofan was speechless for a moment.
If that was the case, then there truly was a thief in his spatial realm, and that thief was Cheng Xiaofan himself.
What surprised him was that he himself was one of the members of the Five Elements Alliance.
Now that he had snatched the Crystal Pill from Mu Yisheng, if he could find a suitable cultivator to take over this Crystal Pill, wouldn't the Five Elements Alliance be officially established?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Dragon Pearl, I want to ask you, was Emperor Shennong back then a gold element cultivator?" Cheng Xiaofan asked excitedly.
The dragon pearl shook its head and said, "I really can't remember that clearly. If I knew, you would definitely know."
"..." Cheng Xiaofan was speechless again.
Fine!
You are an all-powerful dragon within me, so whatever you say is completely reasonable.
You are my idol, my spiritual sustenance, and the most powerful Dragon Soul that I, as a Shennong inheritor, possess!
Just as Cheng Xiaofan was about to chat with the dragon pearl further, he realized it had already withdrawn from his Sea of Consciousness, and he had to shut up.
It was getting late.
Rest!
Since he was a gold element cultivator, he might as well sleep on the gold in his spatial realm.
He quickly used his consciousness to control the gold bricks and built a golden bed. It looked quite impressive and beautiful.
He figured that in today's world, perhaps only Cheng Xiaofan could sleep on a bed made of gold.
Of course, emperors were an exception.
Not long after closing his eyes, Cheng Xiaofan fell into a deep sleep.
Soon after entering his dream, he transformed into a golden dragon.
Roar!
With a dragon's roar, Cheng Xiaofan soared into the sky.
In the vast starry sky, a dragon boat drifted towards him through a nebula.
Cheng Xiaofan's heart filled with joy, knowing that his White Goddess must be on the dragon boat.
He leaped into the air and landed on the dragon boat, immediately reverting to his original form.
"Master—" At this moment, a young woman walked out from inside the dragon boat. Cheng Xiaofan looked at her and realized it was Shen Ruobing!
She was wearing a light yellow, form-fitting long dress. Her eyes were like a clear spring, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her face held a hint of shyness. Due to her cultivation, she exuded a special spiritual aura.
Any man would be moved upon seeing such a beauty.
"How did you get here?" Cheng Xiaofan could hardly believe that Shen Ruobing would appear on this one-leaf dragon boat.
Shen Ruobing replied shyly, "Master, Sister Bai brought me here."
Cheng Xiaofan asked, "Then where is your Sister Bai?"
Shen Ruobing said, "Sister Bai has already returned. She said she would pick me up later!"
Cheng Xiaofan asked, "What did she bring you here for?"
Shen Ruobing's pretty face turned even more flushed. She lowered her head and whispered, "Sister Bai said she wants me to have a great fusion of souls with you. She said it would elevate my cultivation realm to a higher level!"
This is chaos!
This is truly chaos!
What was my White Goddess thinking?
She's too generous!
Although this was just a dream, and their every word and action were purely imaginary, such a dream, after all, violated the principles of normal life.
No!
This absolutely cannot happen!
"Alright, since it's what your Sister Bai said, let's go into the cabin!" For some reason, Cheng Xiaofan was extremely resistant, yet his mouth spoke words that were not entirely honest.
What made him even more bewildered was his own behavior. He opened his arms and embraced Shen Ruobing, then strode towards the cabin.
"Thank you, Master!" Inside the cabin, Shen Ruobing's shy and charming voice could make one completely fall into a tender embrace.
Is this something to be thanked for?
How should one be thanked?
