"It's great that you like orchids. Maybe your senior brother is preparing a surprise for you!" Chen Lin suddenly seemed to have an epiphany and left the Chen Family with a cheerful expression.
It seems his nephew isn't entirely insensitive; he does know how to please girls.
Xiaoyu wasn't clueless either and caught the implication.
Her senior brother was preparing a surprise for her; could it really be orchids?
Her heart started beating faster, and her cheeks turned slightly red.
She suddenly felt very happy.
Her phone vibrated with a WeChat message. Seeing it was from Sister Xiaomi, she quickly checked. The message was a flight itinerary.
She happily replied, "Sister Xiaomi, I've already prepared a place for you to stay, just waiting for you to come."
"Thank you," Sister Xiaomi replied from the other side.
Feeling great, Xiaoyu couldn't help but share: "Sister Xiaomi, something happy happened today; it seems my senior brother has a surprise for me!"
However, after sharing her good mood, she noticed that Sister Xiaomi didn't reply.
She had hoped Sister Xiaomi would analyze it for her.
Before her senior brother came back, whenever she talked about him with Sister Xiaomi, she would always give her advice.
In the room.
Chen Han was just about to rest when he suddenly got a game system alert:
"The Baihua Palace Fairy has already set a date to come to the Chen Family to seek revenge on you. Her hatred towards you has intensified, and everyone who's seen her noticed the murderous aura — she seems determined to wipe out your entire family!"
"???" Chen Han was dumbfounded when he saw this game alert.
The Baihua Palace Fairy originally just came for revenge and only wanted to kill him; how did it escalate to annihilating his whole family in the blink of an eye?
In novels and movies, this situation would definitely involve some villain's manipulations, maybe a so-called best friend.
Exhausted!
He could only hope that the courtyard full of orchids planted by his Little Uncle would satisfy the Baihua Palace Fairy.
Then, he rummaged through a cabinet in the room and pulled out a crumpled medical diagnosis report.
...
Time passed, and the night went by.
As dawn approached, around 5:00 AM, Chen Han blearily heard the alarm ringing and got up without hesitating, washed up slightly, went to the special spiritual acupoint, and sat down, quietly waiting for the spiritual energy flush.
As the sky showed a hint of dawn, a ray of sunlight quickly appeared overhead, and in that instant, the special spiritual acupoint's spiritual energy flush attribute triggered.
Chen Han had already activated the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method," with all his hair follicles opening, fully guiding and absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.
As he began refining spiritual qi, that special introspection feeling appeared again. He closed his eyes, sitting motionlessly in the pavilion.
Soon, Zhao Kang's figure appeared, jogging as usual, after drinking two cups of premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea last night; the insomnia symptoms did not appear.
Initially, he planned to use premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea just for entertaining guests, considering it cost 50,000 per pound.
Now he felt that drinking a little every day was essential; after all, spending a bit more for the sake of health was worth it.
Under three old elm trees, as expected, he saw that Patriarch Chen seemed to be meditating and cultivating in the pavilion, not moving at all.
Owing to such cultivation, he increasingly sensed that this Patriarch Chen was somewhat mysterious.
He rested for half an hour and, seeing that Patriarch Chen had not yet awoken from his meditation, dared not disturb him and simply returned to the Chen Family's visitor center.
After a long while, Chen Han withdrew from the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Cultivation Method."
Today, he still hadn't managed to channel the refined spiritual qi into his dantian; it continued to nourish his body and was consumed treating the lung injuries while circulating through the Taiyin Meridian.
However, looking at his lifespan, his face lit up with joy.
Lifespan: 48 days, 6 hours.
Thanks to the spiritual energy flush today and cultivating the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method," he gained another 12 days of life, indeed 2 days more than the initial 10 days.
This confirmed his previous prediction; as the cancer gradually healed, the effect would be increasingly better.
This greatly improved his mood.
Upon hearing the continuous barking from the village, he took out the Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror, recording the village, and said, "Having just finished cultivating in the morning, I've already heard the outer Dog Demon's provocation to our Chen Family. Today, I'm in the mood to play with them."
The video of the "Mental Tranquility Technique" and the array hadn't been recorded yet, so let's film a video of daily confrontations with Dog Demons!
With this in mind, he headed to the visitor center, found a piece of meat to slice, and then left the village.
Since the Dog Demons were provoking the Chen Family, he would further incite their internal conflict, consuming the Dog Demons' strength.
As he approached the peach grove, there indeed were those wandering outer village Dog Demons. He recorded with the Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror, saying, "For the safety of the family, this Patriarch has gone through great efforts, and hopefully, in some future year, descendants will remember me as a heroic Patriarch."
Having had two experiences before, he was familiar with the process, throwing meat slices along the way, luring a pack of Dog Demons with the meat towards the village entrance, where he saw familiar faces.
The white-haired dog was leisurely strolling.
Since it was an old acquaintance, he tossed a slice of meat straight away.
The dog noticed, ate a piece, found it delicious, then saw the second slice and pounced, pressing the third and fourth slices with its paw, realizing something was wrong as a pack of stray dogs from outside the village surrounded it.
Bark bark bark.
The white-haired dog barked at them, baring its teeth, fiercely intimidating them, leading several village dogs to pounce on it.
Without hesitation, it bit down on the meat below it, turned to run towards the village, but unfortunately was too slow, got knocked down, and with a chorus of miserable barking, limped into the village with half a piece of meat in its mouth.
Chen Han saw this and knew it was going well. The Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror was aimed at the village, and sure enough, moments later, the little mud dog led the village dog demons out, and then they fought fiercely, dust and debris flying in the air.
He had to admit, those village dog demons were formidable, winning once again, yet the following scene left him dumbstruck.
This time, instead of fleeing, the dogs outside the village lowered their heads and followed the pack of little mud dog demons into the village.
"What the heck! This is possible?"
They'd formed a group.
The game system alert appeared just in time:
"An incredibly bad situation has arisen. Your plan to incite internal conflict among the dog demons seems to have failed. During the battle, one dog demon broke through to become the Dog Demon King, suppressing all the dog demons by force, posing an even greater crisis for the family!"
"Damn it!" Chen Han couldn't help but curse aloud.
The Fairy wanted to annihilate the family, and now the dog demons evolved into a Dog Demon King, uniting all dog demons — why was his family so plagued by troubles?
The main issue was, how would he collect more Dog Demon Meat later?!
