The black rat spirit corpses in the private room, as well as the fishy bloodstains on the floor, were swiftly cleared away by the servers.
"Doctor Cheng, shall we move to another private room?" Fu Xiangrui asked.
Cheng Xiaofan waved his hand. "I'm not that particular. We can eat here."
In fact, Cheng Xiaofan had noticed that the beauties were not normal the moment he entered the room, but he had pretended not to know anything at the time.
He also knew very well that the Fu brothers would never hire these rat spirits to attack him.
It was truly mind-boggling that on this Planet Yanhuang, some spirits that could cultivate into human form could be employed in a major city.
However!
Spirits needed to survive.
Since they had cultivated into human form, they naturally wanted to try living a normal human life.
Otherwise, why would they strive so hard to cultivate into human form!
It was just that these black rat spirits had bad luck.
After finally getting a chance to live a normal human life, they were killed by Cheng Xiaofan.
At this moment!
Fu Xianghe poured Cheng Xiaofan a full glass of wine and said respectfully, "Doctor Cheng, tomorrow morning, my brother and I will personally lead a search to find out who was behind these black rat spirits attacking you."
"We will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"
Cheng Xiaofan chewed a piece of braised pork and wagged his index finger. "You don't need to investigate. With your current abilities, you won't be able to find anything."
"Doctor Cheng, what do you mean?" Fu Xiangrui asked with a confused expression.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and asked, "After I killed these rat spirits, I smelled a peculiar scent from their blood."
"What peculiar scent?" Fu Xianghe asked eagerly.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan's brows instantly furrowed.
He said, "It's not convenient for me to tell you the specifics yet."
"In short, you brothers don't need to worry about this matter. Since they came for me, I will handle it personally."
"Let's drink and eat!"
The Fu brothers were not fools.
They could tell from Cheng Xiaofan's tone that he had already figured out who had ordered the black rat spirits to attack him.
It was just that he didn't have enough evidence yet, which was why Cheng Xiaofan was unwilling to disclose it.
Fu Xiangrui cupped his hands towards Cheng Xiaofan and said, "Doctor Cheng, you've truly been troubled this time. In the future, if you ever need our help, just give us a call. Even if it means going through fire and water, we won't hesitate!"
"My brother is right, Doctor Cheng. If you need anything, just call us anytime. We will definitely do our best to serve you!" Fu Xianghe immediately agreed.
Cheng Xiaofan found these two brothers quite interesting.
No matter who spoke, the other would immediately chime in.
He probably only had this special treatment.
He couldn't help but chuckle and say, "Okay, I appreciate your promise, brothers. I will notify you if I need your help."
"Thank you, Doctor Cheng!"
The two brothers immediately stood up, raised their wine glasses, and said to Cheng Xiaofan, "This is a toast from us brothers. We hope you'll accept it!"
"Alright, thank you!" Cheng Xiaofan readily agreed.
The three of them drank their wine in one go.
After eating and drinking their fill.
Cheng Xiaofan got up to leave. "Gentlemen, it's getting late. I need to go back!"
Fu Xianghe immediately said, "Doctor Cheng, I'll take you back in my flying vehicle!"
"Okay!" Cheng Xiaofan nodded slightly and left the private room.
Not long after, Fu Xianghe drove the flying vehicle and sent Cheng Xiaofan to the entrance of the inn.
"Doctor Cheng, I'm truly sorry about this. My brother and I will treat you another day!" Fu Xianghe apologized repeatedly to Cheng Xiaofan after getting out of the flying vehicle.
Cheng Xiaofan waved his hand. "You don't need to be so polite. We'll keep in touch!"
Fu Xianghe quickly said, "Okay, Doctor Cheng. Get some rest early. I'm heading back!"
Upon entering the inn, Cheng Xiaofan found that Gan Xiaotang had not yet gone to bed.
"Husband, you're back!" Gan Xiaotang made a cup of tea for Cheng Xiaofan and brought it over.
"Yes!"
Cheng Xiaofan took the tea, took a big sip, and smiled. "Was everything alright when you fought with those people today?"
Gan Xiaotang said excitedly, "Everything was fine. Those two were no match for me at all. I beat them to their knees, begging for mercy!"
"Husband, thank you for the power you transferred to me!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled. "I'll consolidate your power again later!"
Gan Xiaotang understood what Cheng Xiaofan meant by consolidation.
It meant transferring more energy to her during their intimate moments.
"Thank you, husband!" Gan Xiaotang said, both shy and excited.
...
An hour and a half later.
After a bit of tossing and turning, Gan Xiaotang had fallen asleep.
Just now, Cheng Xiaofan had sent a wisp of spiritual energy into her mind, and she wouldn't wake up until dawn.
Cheng Xiaofan sat by the bed, lost in thought, and lit a cigarette.
After finishing the cigarette, Cheng Xiaofan got out of bed.
He went to the door and made a gentle gesture. The Sky-Breaking Eagle, sensing his call, quietly landed beside him.
Cheng Xiaofan took a piece of cloth from his body and let the Sky-Breaking Eagle sniff it.
The cloth had the blood of the black rat spirit on it.
"Sky-Breaking Eagle, there's a peculiar fragrance in this blood,"
Cheng Xiaofan frowned and said, "This fragrance seems to come from a woman, and it's mixed with some kind of intention."
"This is an intention beyond that of a normal person."
"Master, you mean this woman is no longer alive?"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded. "That's right. This is the intention of a spirit. That's my feeling. In other words, those black rat spirits were controlled by a spirit."
"I have a feeling that this spirit should know me."
"She doesn't truly want to kill me through the black rat spirits, but is trying to signal me."
"She wants to see me in this way!"
"I must find this female spirit!"
The Sky-Breaking Eagle nodded. "Master, I understand!"
Cheng Xiaofan asked, "Sky-Breaking Eagle, can you locate this female spirit through this peculiar fragrance?"
The Sky-Breaking Eagle replied, "Yes, Master, I can search for it!"
"Good!"
Cheng Xiaofan knew very well that his divine eagle possessed very special abilities after its significant breakthrough.
He couldn't help but say excitedly, "Sky-Breaking Eagle, let's set off then!"
"Chirp—"
The Sky-Breaking Eagle immediately carried Cheng Xiaofan and soared into the sky.
In order to search for the spirit woman's location, the Sky-Breaking Eagle quickly concealed its form. After flying into the high altitude, it circled twice over the capital and then swooped down.
It hovered close to the city, circling continuously.
Almost every corner of the city was searched.
Then, it flapped its wings and flew away from the capital, heading towards the outskirts.
