Night.
The moon was like a silver disk, with stars filling the sky.
When Xiao Zhan heard that Xiao Chen was preparing to venture out and gain experience, he summoned Xiao Chen to his quarters. Looking at Xiao Chen before him, Xiao Zhan slowly said:
"Chen'er, I heard you're also planning to go out and gain experience?"
Xiao Chen nodded and gave a soft affirmative.
"Chen'er, if you get the chance in the future, you can visit Stone Desert City on the border of the Jia Ma Empire. Your eldest and second brothers have been developing there. I heard that in recent years, they established a mercenary group called 'Desert Iron,' which can be considered a fairly strong local force."
After speaking with Xiao Chen for a while, Xiao Zhan seemed to recall something and slowly said this.
After hearing Xiao Zhan's words, Xiao Chen thought to himself that Stone Desert City was close to the Tagor Desert. Even if Xiao Zhan had not mentioned it, Xiao Chen would have gone there anyway, because Queen Medusa was there.
Xiao Chen nodded. A quarter of an hour later, he bade Xiao Zhan farewell and returned to his own courtyard.
After returning to his room, Xiao Chen began his daily dual cultivation session with Meng Er.
The next day.
In the early morning, warm sunlight streamed through the gaps in the window and fell upon the bed in the room.
Inside the room, Xiao Chen lay naked, while Meng Er rested against his chest like a kitten. Xiao Chen inhaled the faint fragrance wafting from her dark hair, blinked his lashes, and suddenly opened his pitch-black eyes.
A moment later, Xiao Chen woke Meng Er. After she helped him dress and wash up, he took her to the Xiao Family Back Mountain
