Chapter 23: The Power of Blowing Dust

"I'll give you half."

Xia Fan patted the cat's head. Recently, he had gotten used to her unconventional meowing. He broke off half and threw it into her small, shabby bowl.

The cat immediately jumped over, opening its pink mouth and looking content.

It had to be said that Hua Xiaoling seemed to have completely assimilated into the role of a pet in the past half month.

She seemed to have discovered that as long as she obediently acted like a cat, this terrifying owner of hers would always make delicious food. These dishes were not only nourishing and tasty, but even the fierce creatures in the garden seemed to no longer scare her.

"You clown cat, eat slowly, don't burn yourself."

Of course, apart from Xia Fan occasionally using this description, Hua Xiaoling couldn't vent her anger.

Heaven and earth bear witness, she was a princess of the Celestial Fox clan, with half of her bloodline being that of a Qilin. She was a beautiful mixed-blood girl, okay?

Hmph, since you still care about this princess, I'll let it slide for now.

Hua Xiaoling ate while meowing.

Thump, thump!

Just then, there was a knocking sound at the courtyard door.

"Who is it?"

Xiao Wu'er opened the door.

"It's us, Senior Wu'er!"

A familiar voice came from outside.

It was Liu Rushuang.

"Let them in."

Xia Fan put away the messy calligraphy and paintings on the stone table and spoke up.

After a moment, the door opened and Liu Rushuang and the others walked in.

Xia Fan looked up and noticed that there was another girl behind the three of them.

The girl's appearance seemed to be on par with Liu Rushuang, with fair legs and a plump chest.

Another beauty, Xia Fan was somewhat surprised.

It seemed that his small garden was quite attractive to beautiful women.

However, why was this beauty sweating so much? Did she exhaust herself climbing the mountain?

Xia Fan looked at her with a hint of pity and said, "Please have a seat."

After speaking, he instructed Xiao Wu'er, "Xiao Wu'er, do you remember the water inside? Go heat it up."

Xiao Wu'er nodded and immediately ran into the house.

Gu Tianxing watched Xiao Wu'er's figure and slowly took a seat, but her expression was somewhat uneasy.

It seemed that because the big white horse and the two big black dogs were still gnawing on potatoes in the courtyard, even though Gu Tianxing was somewhat familiar with Liu Rushuang and the others, she couldn't help but feel a bit nervous when she was in their presence.

The same went for Gu Tianxing and the others. As a new guest, Canglan Mingyue was even more so.

At this moment, seeing the three fierce creatures, she was almost scared out of her wits.

She felt as if she had entered a forbidden zone.

Don't be fooled by the appearance of the two big black dogs and the white horse casually gnawing on potatoes. The terrifying aura emanating from the three fierce creatures made Canglan Mingyue afraid that if one of them opened its mouth at her, she would be swallowed alive.

"What kind of place is this? Why is it so terrifying?"

Canglan Mingyue muttered to herself in her heart.

The aura emitted by these three fierce creatures, whose level was unknown, was something she had never experienced in her life. Even in the presence of her father, the emperor, she had never felt even a fraction of the terror that these three creatures exuded.

Moreover, the potatoes they were eating didn't seem to be ordinary potatoes. There seemed to be Sacred Aura circulating on them.

Canglan Mingyue was shocked by what she saw.

"You guys can eat outside."

Fortunately, at this moment, Xia Fan found them taking up space and sent them out.

It was only after the three fierce creatures left that the pressure on Gu Tianxing and the others eased slightly.

"What brings you here?" Xia Fan dismissed the dogs and horses and asked indifferently.

Gu Tianxing stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "Senior Xia, this is Miss Canglan Mingyue. We came here because she has something to tell you!"

Something to tell me?

Xia Fan raised his eyebrows and glanced at the pale-faced Canglan Mingyue.

This beautiful girl, with her pale face dripping with sweat, seemed so weak that she could barely stand.

This situation...

Xia Fan shook his head and said, "No need to say it, I already know your purpose!"

"Uh..."

As Xia Fan spoke, the group was taken aback.

Did Senior already know their purpose?

At this point, Xia Fan continued, "Some of the symptoms may seem serious, but they are just caused by a troubled mind."

Xia Fan said.

He had already noticed that the girl among them was probably sick.

Trembling while climbing the mountain, sweating on her pretty face, she was probably physically weak.

But even if they could bring the fire starter, this girl's weakness was not due to wind and cold, so starting a fire wouldn't solve the problem.

Unless it was treated as a sacred fire to change her constitution.

Xia Fan also noticed the group's thoughts. It seemed that they were particularly interested in the fire starter, which was why they established the Sacred Fire Gate and came here repeatedly.

Thinking of this, Xia Fan continued to advise, "If this matter needs to be resolved, it would be a piece of cake for me!"

"But in the future, don't make a big fuss over such minor illnesses!"

"There are many more meaningful things in the world!"

Xia Fan spoke at length, his words sincere.

As he said, there were indeed many more interesting things in the world than the fire starter.

And when the group heard this, they finally showed a look of realization, with a bitter expression on their faces.

"So, Senior already knew about the Blood Lord's rebirth!"

"But I didn't expect that for Senior, the Blood Lord's existence is just a seemingly serious illness that can be easily resolved!"

"Senior even told us not to worry about it in the future, implying that the Blood Lord is not enough to enter Senior's chessboard?"

"This..."

Even the existence of the Blood Lord doesn't qualify to be on Senior's chessboard?

How big is Senior's chessboard?

Thinking of this, Gu Tianxing and the others were shocked.

Canglan Mingyue, who had regained her senses, widened her eyes after hearing Xia Fan's words.

Looking at Xia Fan's celestial-like appearance and his deep and unfathomable aura, it was something she would never have believed before coming here.

After all, even the invincible Supreme would not dare to underestimate the Blood Lord.

But at this moment, witnessing the blessings that even ordinary people in the mountains couldn't envy, witnessing the horror of this mansion, and witnessing the terrifying creature that even standing next to them made them unable to help but feel fear, being tamed by this mysterious man in front of them.

Canglan Mingyue, too, was convinced.

She was scared.

"Even the Blood Lord, who can threaten the invincible Supreme, is treated as mere ashes!"

"This terrifying Senior, could he be an immortal who came out of the ancient forbidden area in the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains?"

Canglan Mingyue was shocked.

But she found it hard to believe such thoughts.

The reason being that there hadn't been any immortals in the Heaven and Earth World for thousands of years.

The existence of immortals in the forbidden area was just speculation.

After all, no one had ever dared to set foot in those dangerous places in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Because those who had ventured in had never returned!
