Clearly, Tao Qi Bao had seen the Sky-Breaking Eagle before.
For a period, the Sky-Breaking Eagle had followed Cheng Xiao Fan. This time, on the trip to Fuzhou, it had consumed more spirit beast meat from the spiritual realm within the desert oasis, achieving another breakthrough.
The sensing abilities between beasts were extremely strong.
When Tao Qi Bao saw that the Sky-Breaking Eagle's energy had far surpassed its own, leaving it behind by eighteen great mountains, and that it maintained its original state, how could it not feel anxious?
"Master, you are too biased. Your heart only holds that wicked eagle. Haven't I been good enough to you?" Tao Qi Bao said with extreme grievance.
Cheng Xiao Fan frowned and said, "Let's go to that patch of woods ahead to talk!"
"Woof woof!" Upon hearing this, Tao Qi Bao's eyes lit up, and it wagged its tail furiously.
It knew that its master usually kept delicacies in his spatial storage, making it inconvenient to take them out here. Now that the master wanted it to go to the woods with him, he would surely retrieve spirit beast meat from his storage for it to enjoy.
Who would have thought!
Upon reaching the woods.
Cheng Xiao Fan grabbed Tao Qi Bao's head and gave it a good beating.
"Master, why are you hitting me for no reason?" Tao Qi Bao asked its master tearfully and aggrieved.
"You wretched cur, you still have the nerve to ask me?"
Cheng Xiao Fan glared fiercely at Tao Qi Bao. "Confess honestly. While I was away these past few days, did you bully all the female dogs in the village?"
When Tao Qi Bao heard that its master was angry with it for this reason, it immediately asked curiously, "How did you know?"
Cheng Xiao Fan kicked it hard. "I could tell from the energy signature on you. Can you hide anything from me?"
Tao Qi Bao said, "Master, it wasn't that I wanted to bully them. They asked me to. Seeing how pitiful they looked, I couldn't bear it, so I bullied them one by one!"
"Besides, if it's free to bully, why not? I'm also doing a good deed!"
Listening to its tone, it sounded so similar to his own!
Truly, the leader is corrupt, and the subordinates follow suit! It was all this dog's fault that in its anger, it even slandered itself!
He glared at Tao Qi Bao again. "Do you know how serious the consequences of your actions are? You must know that you are a dragon dog cultivated by me, capable of flying!"
"You are unique in the world, irreplaceable!"
Tao Qi Bao immediately said, "Master, rest assured, I have my limits in this regard. I can say I control it very well!"
"..." Cheng Xiao Fan was speechless.
This dog understood everything! It seemed he was worrying for nothing! He had no choice but to take out a large piece of cooked river monster meat from his spatial storage and place it before Tao Qi Bao, smiling and saying, "This is a reward for you!"
"Woof woof!" Tao Qi Bao immediately asked, "What about the spirit meat from my ten white swans?"
Cheng Xiao Fan then remembered the ten geese he had raised. He had no choice but to take out another piece of river monster meat.
"Honk—"
As soon as the meat was taken out, the ten white geese flew over from the sky. All the villagers of Zhuxi Village knew that Cheng Xiao Fan's geese could fly at high altitudes; they were all accustomed to it.
After dealing with the greedy and gluttonous Tao Qi Bao, Cheng Xiao Fan immediately called for the Sky-Breaking Eagle to carry him towards White Python Lake.
"Chirp—"
Upon arriving at White Python Lake, the Sky-Breaking Eagle let out a piercing cry that split the clouds and rocks. It circled in the air and then landed at the foot of the terraced fields.
"Mr. Cheng, you've arrived!" Ye Shisan was weeding in the field with a hoe when he saw Cheng Xiao Fan and quickly threw down his tool, greeting him with a smile.
Cheng Xiao Fan chuckled. "Old Ye, every time I come, I see you working in the fields. You just can't bear to rest!"
Ye Shisan smiled. "Mr. Cheng, I'm born to be a laborer. Once I'm idle, my bones ache and swell. It's more comfortable to work!"
"..." This left Cheng Xiao Fan speechless. He wondered if all earth-element cultivators were like this? They felt uncomfortable if they didn't interact with the land for a day?
Cheng Xiao Fan took Ye Shisan's hand. "Come, Old Ye, let's go inside. I have good news to tell you!"
Inside the bamboo villa, Ye Shisan quickly boiled water to make tea for Cheng Xiao Fan.
After a cup of tea was brewed and placed before Cheng Xiao Fan, Ye Shisan asked with a simple and honest smile, "Mr. Cheng, what good news do you have for me?"
Cheng Xiao Fan picked up his cup, took a sip of water, and said, "Old Ye, the hidden black people have been completely uprooted by me. No one will trouble you anymore!"
"Ah, Mr. Cheng, is what you say true?" Ye Shisan said excitedly.
Cheng Xiao Fan chuckled. "Old Ye, would I lie to you?"
"Let me tell you the truth. Those hidden black people came to Zhuxi Village twice to find you, but I annihilated them all."
"It was precisely because of this that I stumbled upon their headquarters on an island in Fuzhou City, and I also learned why they were looking for you!"
Next, Cheng Xiao Fan mentioned the demonic beasts in the eighteen bronze coffins and the matter of opening the prehistoric oasis on Earth in the Gobi Desert, explaining everything to Ye Shisan.
"Mr. Cheng, are there really prehistoric oases on Earth?" Ye Shisan said, bewildered.
Cheng Xiao Fan smiled slightly. "Yes, it truly exists. I used a magic bone blade in my hand to awaken the twelve demonic beasts in the bronze coffins, and thus entered the desert oasis!"
He immediately took out a piece of river monster meat and other spirit beast meats from his spatial storage and piled them on the table before Ye Shisan.
"This spirit beast meat was brought from the spiritual realm of the prehistoric oasis on Earth," Cheng Xiao Fan said with a smile. "Old Ye, we have a connection. If it weren't for you appearing in Zhuxi Village, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to enter this desert oasis."
"This prehistoric spirit beast meat from Earth is an absolute treasure for cultivators, and it's utterly unobtainable."
Ye Shisan excitedly rubbed his hands. "Mr. Cheng, I'll make a couple of dishes with this spirit beast meat. Let's have a good drink at noon!"
Cheng Xiao Fan looked at his extremely happy expression and nodded, smiling. "Okay, I'll listen to you. We'll have a good drink at noon!"
"However, you must also listen to me. I told you last time, you should just call me by my name. Why are you still calling me Mr. Cheng?"
Ye Shisan smiled. "I'm still used to calling you Mr. Cheng!"
"..." Since the other person was used to it, Cheng Xiao Fan didn't say anything more.
As an earth-element cultivator, Ye Shisan's culinary skills were absolutely top-notch. In less than twenty minutes, he had made several delicious dishes.
The dishes were served at just past eleven o'clock. The two sat there, raising their cups, eating and drinking.
