Great Wilderness Border Village, Xu Family courtyard.
"Squeak---" The wooden door was pushed open, and Xu Binghu walked in, covered in filth. Lian Ji, who was in the room, heard the sounds outside and imdiately ca out to check, expertly preparing clean clothes and placing them in the washing area.
"Ah, day after day, the snake demons have been lingering near the village for several days now, and still not completely dealt with!"
Xu Binghu took the clothes, full of confusion. Ever since the snake demon attack on the village, the white snake demons have been wandering around the village. Moreover, these white snake demons don’t fear the improved Seven-leafed One-flowered Plant by Xu Ran, and they can only be manually slain.
"Is there no solution?" Lian Ji asked.
Although she was always at ho, whenever she went out to visit neighbors, she would hear all kinds of news. For matters concerning the whole village, Lian Ji was very clear.
"Currently, there’s no thod, we can only search all around the village and then slay them. Otherwise, if they sneak into the village, who knows what might happen?!"
Xu Binghu was also sowhat helpless, after all, right now, in the whole Great Wilderness Border Village, only he could easily slay these snake demons with extrely high defense. Other people, even after going through the first body refining, would need several people to work together and pay the price of getting injured to slay one snake demon.
Besides him, his son Xu Ran and the spirit pet Xiao Bai, without saying whether they have ti to focus on such small matters, they were never seen, let alone letting them slay snake demons.
Yet soon, Xu Binghu’s tone also turned a bit expectant, "Luckily, we’ve slain quite a few snake demons these days, the villagers have collected enough beast blood and materials for the second body refining, snake gall and snake bones aren’t lacking, and we’ve also crafted weapons and armor from snake scales, the days ahead should be easier for ."
Today, when the village guard team disbanded, he and Old Qi took a good count in the village’s communal warehouse, which was enough for everyone in the village to go through the second body refining.
Speaking of Xu Ran, Xu Binghu looked around the courtyard and asked, "Wife, where’s little Ran? Why isn’t he cultivating in the courtyard?"
Except for the last couple of days when he didn’t co ho, Xu Ran had always been sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, cultivating, as he said, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. But today, where is he??
Now, Lian Ji also noticed Xu Ran’s absence and suddenly beca worried, "Could little Ran have gone out riding on Xiao Bai again?"
With yesterday’s incident, their nerves once again tensed.
Just as the two were about to go out searching, a high-pitched crane call ca from the sky. Looking up, it was the pure white Xiao Bai.
That figure, even amidst the dark clouds, the couple could clearly recognize.
But today was a bit different, beside Xiao Bai was a small figure, as small as a stone from the ground looking up, different from Xiao Bai’s form, it was unrecognizable but very familiar.
Before the couple could react, the two figures in the sky plumted downwards. In no more than five breaths, the figures of a person and a falcon landed in the Xu Family courtyard, kicking up clouds of dust, making it hard for Xu Binghu and Lian Ji to see the scene clearly.
At this mont, Xiao Bai opened its wings, fanning away all the dust in front, the couple’s vision restored, and imdiately, their son Xu Ran and the spirit pet Xiao Bai’s figures appeared within.
Now, the couple realized who was that figure following beside Xiao Bai in the air, it was their son, Xu Ran!!
"Dad, Mom, we’re back!!" Xu Ran’s childish voice sounded, and Xiao Bai beside him also placed tonight’s dinner on the ground, calling softly several tis.
Hearing their son and Xiao Bai’s presence, Xu Binghu and Lian Ji snapped back from their shock.
Xu Binghu asked, "Little Ran, did you just fly down from the sky??"
Xu Binghu’s tone trembled slightly but carried a hint of anticipation.
Xu Ran nodded, "Yes, I recently comprehended a new Divine Technique and can already fly in the air!"
"I wasn’t ho last night because I was comprehending Divine Techniques."
Xu Ran’s tone was very calm, as if everything was natural.
Lian Ji, "Little Ran, why didn’t you tell us when you go out to cultivate? If you’d told us in advance, we’d all be happy!!"
Lian Ji’s voice was similarly excited.
From childhood to now, she could only hear stories of flying in the sky in mythological tales. Today, when the immortal act in mythical stories took place upon her own child, it was indeed unbelievable, intertwined with excitent.
Xu Ran scratched his head, "Yesterday was just the initial learning, without complete comprehension. Today, Xiao Bai found a perfect place for cultivation, which allowed to barely keep up with Xiao Bai’s speed."
Originally, Xu Ran had returned sitting on Xiao Bai’s back, but when in the sky, he saw his father returning ho before him. To avoid further nagging, he promptly revealed he could already fly to the two.
In this way, not only could he have an excuse for not coming ho for a day and a night, but also set a premise for going to practice in the gorge later on. Otherwise, when he doesn’t co ho once more for a night, who knows how much his dad and mom would worry.
"Hahahaha-----"
Suddenly, Xu Binghu laughed directly in the courtyard, his laughter loud enough to make several households nearby clearly hear his voice.
