New Reward, the Gale Family's Plans!

Ding! Sign-in successful!

Congratulations, Host. You have obtained one Golden Winged Great Peng! Note: This Golden Winged Great Peng will automatically recognize you as its master and will never betray you. Its strength matches the Host's, and it can automatically grow stronger as the Host's cultivation improves.

This reward wasn't bad at all!

After hearing the System's reward notification, Xiao Fan thought to himself.

Although the Golden Winged Great Peng currently only possessed the strength of a six-star Dou Ling, the key was that it could automatically grow stronger along with him. That was incredible!

Rewards from the System's sign-ins would be temporarily stored in the System Space by default, without causing any disturbance.

That was also why Xiao Fan had signed in right in front of Huang Rong and the others.

After signing in, Xiao Fan did not release the Golden Winged Great Peng for the time being. He continued with Huang Rong and the others into a pavilion on Peach Blossom Island.

Peach Blossom Island was covered in all kinds of flowers, grasses, and trees, with peach trees being the most numerous.

Scattered throughout the peach blossom grove were many waterside pavilions, towers, rooms, and houses. The scenery was exceptionally beautiful.

After withdrawing his attention from the System, Xiao Fan looked around at the scenery and could not help praising it. "Island Master Huang and Miss Huang really know how to enjoy life. This place truly lives up to its name as a paradise beyond the world."

Hearing Xiao Fan's praise, Huang Rong felt rather pleased. "My father spent several decades transforming this island from a barren wasteland into the exquisite and beautiful residence it is today."

Yan Lingji nodded as well. "It really is beautiful. Compared to our village, this place is practically the immortal realm."

Huang Rong smiled. "Miss Yan Lingji flatters us."

As they chatted and laughed, they soon arrived at an exquisite waterside pavilion.

Huang Rong then said to Xiao Fan and Yan Lingji, "Young Master Xiao, Miss Yan Lingji, please sit here for a while. I'll go prepare lunch."

Xiao Fan found himself looking forward to Huang Rong's cooking. "Alright, then I shall wait to sample Miss Huang's culinary skills."

Yan Lingji said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to it too."

Huang Rong gave Huang Yaoshi another instruction, asking him to entertain Xiao Fan and Yan Lingji first, before heading off to prepare lunch.

While waiting for the food Huang Rong was preparing, Huang Yaoshi, Xiao Fan, and Yan Lingji sat facing one another and chatted idly.

Most of the time, Huang Yaoshi and Xiao Fan discussed—or rather, Huang Yaoshi sought advice about—certain key points of the Taiyin True Scripture.

Listening to their conversation, Yan Lingji found it rather boring. "By the way, Island Master Huang, why haven't I seen Miss Huang's mother?"

After some time, seeing that Huang Yaoshi and Xiao Fan had temporarily stopped discussing martial arts, Yan Lingji changed the subject and asked.

Huang Yaoshi's mood dimmed slightly at her words. "My wife passed away not long after Rong'er was born."

Hearing Huang Yaoshi's words, Yan Lingji immediately felt apologetic. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked carelessly."

Huang Yaoshi shook his head. "It's alright. You didn't know, so there's no blame."

Xiao Fan's heart stirred, and he asked Huang Yaoshi, "The Myriad Realms Chat Group is incredibly miraculous. Its members come from countless heavens and worlds, and the Shop may randomly refresh cultivation techniques. Perhaps there may be a way to bring Madam Huang back from the dead in the future."

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Huang Yaoshi became extremely excited. "Young Master Xiao, is that true?"

Xiao Fan nodded. "At the very least, I have heard of a martial art called the Saint Heart Technique that can revive the dead, though the deceased's body must be preserved intact."

Huang Yaoshi grew even more excited. "I have always carefully preserved my wife's body. If such a miraculous technique truly exists, that would be wonderful!"

After the three chatted for a while, Huang Rong finished preparing lunch. She had the servants on Peach Blossom Island bring all kinds of delicious dishes into the pavilion.

When Huang Rong learned that her mother might have a chance of being revived, she was also extremely excited. The look in her eyes as she gazed at Xiao Fan became gentler as well.

Xiao Fan and Yan Lingji enjoyed the delicacies personally prepared by Huang Rong on Peach Blossom Island, then admired the island's scenery for a while longer. It was not until evening approached that they finally bid one another farewell.

Before parting, Huang Rong's form of address for Xiao Fan changed from Young Master Xiao to Xiao Fan Gege.

After parting with Huang Rong and Yan Lingji, Xiao Fan quickly returned to the Dou Qi world, still inside his own room.

However, it was already evening.

Xiao Fan pondered for a moment, then left his room and headed deep into the back mountain of the Xiao Family. With a thought, he released the Golden Winged Great Peng.

"Screech!"

In the next instant, a sharp cry rang out.

Then, an extraordinary great eagle appeared in Xiao Fan's field of vision, circling through the low sky not far from him.

The great eagle had a golden crest atop its head. Its dark-gold beak gleamed with cold light, and when its pair of golden wings spread open, they spanned two meters. Its legs were thick and powerful, its talons radiated danger, and its eyes were filled with savage ferocity!

When the great eagle looked at Xiao Fan, the ferocity in its eyes immediately vanished. It swooped down and landed beside him, rubbing its wing against his shoulder, its gaze full of affection and attachment.

Xiao Fan also liked the Golden Winged Great Peng before him very much. He reached out and stroked the soft feathers on its neck, smiling as he said, "From now on, your name will be Xiao Jin."

"Screech!"

The Golden Winged Great Peng clearly understood Xiao Fan's words. It let out an excited cry and nodded in agreement.

Xiao Fan discovered that there was a spiritual connection between him and the Golden Winged Great Peng, allowing them to communicate mentally.

Furthermore, the Golden Winged Great Peng could understand human speech. The only regrettable thing was that it could not speak human language.

"Xiao Jin, take me for a flight."

When Xiao Fan had read novels in his previous life, he had often seen characters riding all kinds of spirit beasts through the skies. He had been quite envious and had fantasized about having a flying spirit pet himself.

Now that he truly had a spirit pet, Xiao Fan wanted to experience it properly.

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xiao Jin immediately lowered its body slightly and conveyed through their spiritual link that Xiao Fan should climb on.

Without hesitation, Xiao Fan sat on Xiao Jin's back.

"Screech!"

Once Xiao Fan had settled himself, Xiao Jin cried out again and immediately soared into the sky with Xiao Fan on its back!

Xiao Fan discovered that Xiao Jin would actively release an energy barrier to protect him. Even without using any Dou Qi to stabilize himself, there was no risk of falling from Xiao Jin's back. This made Xiao Fan even more satisfied with his spirit pet.

Riding Xiao Jin, Xiao Fan flew around the area near Wutan City. Seeing that night had fallen, he prepared to return home to rest.

As they passed over the Gale Family, Xiao Fan's heart suddenly stirred. He immediately communicated with Xiao Jin mentally. "Conceal your aura and take me somewhere deserted to land."

Upon receiving Xiao Fan's command, Xiao Jin did not hesitate in the slightest. It carried Xiao Fan down onto an artificial mountain in the Gale Family's rear courtyard.

Both Xiao Jin and Xiao Fan possessed the strength of a Dou Ling. With their auras deliberately concealed, no one in the Gale Family noticed anything at all.

After landing on the artificial mountain, Xiao Fan had a thought and stored Xiao Jin back into the System Space. He then concealed his own aura and prepared to gather some information within the Gale Family.

The Gale Family and the Xiao Family had always been hostile toward one another. In the Original Novel, the Gale Family hired an alchemist to undermine the Xiao Family's marketplace. If Xiao Yan had not risen so suddenly, the Xiao Family likely would not have been able to hold on.

Now, the Gale Family had not yet hired an alchemist to undermine the Xiao Family's marketplace, but Xiao Fan had broken Galeo's limbs. The Gale Family would definitely find a way to deal with the Xiao Family.

Xiao Fan naturally was not worried that the Gale Family could do anything to him, but he did not want the Xiao Family to be caught off guard and fall victim to the Gale Family's schemes.

"Ah! Damn Xiao Fan! I'll definitely kill him!"

Not long after Xiao Fan entered the Gale Family, he heard screams mixed with furious curses.

Without a doubt, the speaker was Galeo, whose limbs Xiao Fan had broken earlier that day.

Xiao Fan sensed that, apart from Galeo, there was also someone with Da Dou Shi-level strength in the room. If nothing unexpected had happened, it should be Galeo's father, the Gale Family's Clan Head, Gale Bi.

At once, Xiao Fan's figure flashed, and he drifted outside Galeo's room.

Just then, Gale Bi's gloomy voice sounded from within. "I had already contacted Master Liu Xi, the alchemist, intending to first crush the Xiao Family's marketplace and deprive them of financial support, then slowly wipe out the Xiao Family. Who told you to act rashly?!"

Galeo said, "After Xiao Fan broke my legs last time, I lay in bed for a month. I simply couldn't swallow it. Besides, I had arranged for a Dou Shi retainer, so it should have been foolproof. Who knew that bastard Xiao Fan had actually broken through to the Dou Shi realm!"

Gale Bi said coldly, "Don't worry. I have already reached an agreement with the Oba Family. In three days, we will wipe out the Xiao Family in one stroke. That brat from the Xiao Family is growing too quickly. We absolutely cannot let him continue living! At most, our Gale Family will yield a portion of our benefits to the Oba Family!"

Hearing Gale Bi's words, Galeo was immediately overjoyed. "Wonderful! When the time comes, I'll personally tear Xiao Fan into ten thousand pieces!"

Outside the room, Xiao Fan's eyes flashed with a cold light upon hearing the father and son's words!
