The Chicken Farm.
Back in the little wooden cabin, lying on the wooden bed that had been cleaned until not a speck of dust remained, Wang Ba could not help letting out a contented sigh.
Even though he was already a cultivator, lying down occasionally still felt genuinely comfortable.

Wang Ba's expression immediately darkened.
He hurriedly activated the Heavenly Gate Duty Order
