Taking Root and Growing Ever More Uncontrollable
"Hall Master flatter me, Your Highness. I was just doing my duty!" Hai Bo Dong waved his hand, appearing nonchalant, but inwardly he was overjoyed.
Han Fei and Han Chi were slightly startled upon hearing this. From Xiao Tian's words, they knew that the person in front of them was the core person of power in the Free and Unfettered Hall.
The three of them cupped their hands in greeting and exchanged pleasantries, quickly becoming acquainted.
"Hai Lao, the Han Clan is preparing to merge into the Free and Unfettered Hall. I'm leaving this matter to you."
Xiao Tian didn't want to deal with these troublesome things, so he notified Hai Bo Dong to come over early on, since it was a good match for his expertise.
Upon hearing this, Hai Bo Dong knew that his Hall Master had once again adopted his hands-off management style.
Having such a Hall Master is truly a dilemma; one doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Fine, leave it to me. I even suspect you raised my cultivation level just to exploit me more."
Hai Bo Dong couldn't help but rub his forehead and joke.
"How could that be? I absolutely did not have that thought, Hai Lao, you're mistaken."
Xiao Tian denied it without even thinking.
Seeing Xiao Tian's expression, Hai Bo Dong knew it was confirmed.
However, this was not a difficult task, since I had experience in handling such matters before. After all, my temple Hall Master didn't have much, except for his Hall Master's Wife.
"Ahem, father-in-law, great-grandfather, Hai Lao will discuss the rest with you. I have to leave now."
After greeting Han Fei and Han Chi, Xiao Tian vanished from the spot in an instant.
"Gentlemen, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go to the Council Hall; fragrant tea has been prepared there," Hai Bo Dong invited the two.
"I'd like to trouble the Grand Elder to lead the way," Han Fei said with a smile, stroking his beard.
"Please follow me. I can also introduce you to our Free and Unfettered World while I'm at it." Hai Bo Dong headed towards the Free and Unfettered Hall's Council Hall.
Hai Bo Dong led the two slowly toward the Council Hall of the Free and Unfettered Hall, constantly introducing them to various places in the Free and Unfettered World along the way.
"Roar!!"
A deep, rumbling roar echoed through the air, and a giant black serpent flew swiftly from afar.
Han Fei and his companion instinctively assumed a wary posture.
"You two, there's no need to worry. This is one of our Hall Guardian Beast." Hai Bo Dong said gently when he saw the two of them like this.
The two breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, mainly because the aura emanating from the giant snake was incredibly powerful, and even Han Fei felt that he was far from being a match for it.
As the giant black snake drew closer, the two finally saw what it looked like.
The snake that appeared was none other than the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor: Bai Ya.
Bai Ya is now a high-level seventh-tier magical beast, very close to the peak of the seventh tier, and its strength is roughly equivalent to an Eight-star Dou Ancestor.
The two also discovered that two adorable little girls, with delicate features, were sitting on the monster's head.
Han Fei and his companion sensed the presence of the two children, and their eyes narrowed sharply.
In their perception, the auras emanating from the two little girls were that of Seven-Star Dou Wang and a Six-Star Dou Wang, respectively.
This is also why Xiao Tian Xiao Tian suppressed their strength; he didn't intend for them to improve too quickly.
So they were usually allowed to play as they pleased, except that Xiao Meng was required to practice Dou Technique for a period of time each day, while Xiao Ling was to practice alchemy.
Han Fei and Han Chi were completely dumbfounded.
This is ridiculous! This kid looks like he's only three or four years old, and he's already at this level of cultivation? Is he even human? This is outrageous!
You have to know how long it took you to reach the level of Dou Wang.
While others were still playing in the mud as children, they had already achieved the level of cultivation that I had cultivated for more than ten or even several decades.
"Grandpa Hai~" Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng stood up and bowed to Hai Bo Dong with great manners.
Although the two were mischievous little Demon King, they never disappointed in terms of upbringing and manners.
Hai Bo Dong smiled kindly and said gently, "Oh, it's Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng. Where did you go to play today?"
Xiao Ling was about to blurt out that she wanted to go play, but Xiao Meng quickly stopped her, saying, "Let's go find medicinal herbs; this is a task Father gave us."
Before Hai Bo Dong could reply, she continued, "Grandpa Hai, you go ahead with your business. We'll head back now; Xian Er's mother is waiting for us."
After saying that, she patted Bai Ya's huge head, gesturing for him to leave.
After receiving the order, Bai Ya announced, "Let's take off! Little Princess, get ready!"
Bai Ya flapped its wings and quickly headed towards the Sky Palace.
After Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng left, Hai Bo Dong shook his head helplessly.
"Hai Lao, who are these two little girls?" Han Fei asked Hai Bo Dong as he approached the giant snake and watched it disappear.
"Our two Little Princess of the Free and Unfettered Hall, daughters of the Hall Master."
"The Hall Master's daughter? Then wouldn't that be...?" Han Fei and Han Chi were both startled upon hearing this and hurriedly asked.
Hai Bo Dong knew from their expressions that they were mistaken.
"They were not born to Han Yue." Hai Bo Dong then told them about the Sky Palace and the Hall Master's Wife.
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, a wry smile playing on their lips.
They were surprised to find that Xiao Tian had so many women, but they didn't object.
Putting aside the fact that in this world, might makes right.
Besides, their family had already climbed the social ladder by getting involved with Xiao Tian, so why would they have any objections?
Furthermore, they also learned from Hai Bo Dong's introduction that one of the Hall Master's Wife was the only daughter of the person in charge of one of the top powers in Central State.
Since there were no objections from them, there were naturally no objections from our side as well.
Now that they know, they can't help but worry, but thinking of Xiao Tian and Han Yue's care and intimacy, they are largely relieved.
"Are you worried that the ladies' relationship will sour?" Hai Bo Dong could roughly guess what the two men were thinking from their expressions.
Upon hearing this, Han Chi nodded silently, acknowledging Hai Bo Dong's words.
"Haha, don't worry, the Hall Master's Wife are as close as sisters, you don't need to worry about these things," Hai Bo Dong said with a smile.
It's worth noting that the Hall Master's Wife usually travel together, and their friendship is evident to all.
Upon hearing this, Han Chi was completely relieved, knowing that the other party had no reason to lie to him.
Upon hearing a certain word in Hai Bo Dong's language, Han Chi's eyes twitched slightly, and an idea even sprouted in his mind.
This idea kept taking root in his mind and grew increasingly uncontrollable.
The three of them continued walking and talking.
Meanwhile, Xiao Meng and Xiao Ling, who had returned to the front hall of the Heavenly Palace, jumped down from Bai Ya's head. "Be careful, little auntie."
