Me Staying Here Won't Get in the Way of Whatever You're Doing, Will It?

They acted immediately upon hearing the word.

"Brush--"

At that moment, Lu Changzhi had a sudden thought and went outside.

Gu Chen is currently locked in a fierce battle within the World in the Painting.

Since obtaining the high-abundance uranium, Mu Fan has been quite busy, almost like he's working on the latest scientific research.

Qin Li is not here at the moment, and we don't know where she is.

Now, Luo Ling'er has learned to find a comfortable chair to lie down in, tilt her head back, close her eyes, and rest her head on her arms, making her look even more like Mu Fan.

"Little brat, forget it."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Changzhi also shifted his attention away.

He glanced at Zhong Ming, who was also peacefully cultivating.

Of course, while it's called cultivation, it's actually receiving an infusion of spiritual power.

"It seems that the coffin ancestor brought by those people on the Emperor Road last time has greatly benefited Zhong Ming."

After a moment's thought, Lu Changzhi shook his head.

"The kids are all working so hard, it doesn't seem right for me to think about using them for experiments."

"But there aren't any suitable candidates here; we can't just use ourselves as guinea pigs."

Thinking about it, Lu Changzhi's mind stirred, and he looked to the side.

There, a figure flashed by in the distance, disappearing in an instant, and landed smoothly on the ground.

Although it fell from a great height at a distance, its silky smoothness made it seem as if it were diving rather than flying.

The figure was none other than Xiao Ming, who had rushed back wearily.

"Oh, Master, you're awake?"

Xiao Ming looked at Lu Changzhi, shook his head as a greeting.

Lu Changzhi smiled and asked.

"How could you bear to come back?"

"I've heard that you've been treated like royalty by the Four Divine Beasts lately."

"They've been enjoying themselves too much and now want to come back and relax?"

Hearing Lu Changzhi's words, Xiao Ming turned his head and glanced in the direction where Luo Ling'er was, sighed like a human, and said.

"Food is the thread that binds us together, no matter how far we go."

Lu Changzhi chuckled to himself.

"So you're back to buy more goods?"

Xiao Ming nodded, and then said...

"Then I'll go find Chef Ling."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Lu Changzhi's voice rang out.

"Wait, don't rush."

"I happen to have something to do and I need your help."

Xiao Ming lowered his raised paw and looked at Lu Changzhi, asking a question.

Is this a good thing?

Lu Changzhi didn't answer. Instead, he took out the stick he had just received, waved it at Xiao Ming, and said...

"Can you see anything special about this stick?"

Xiao Ming glanced at it a few times and said.

"Hmm... it's very oily?"

Lu Changzhi smiled.

"That's not important."

"Come on, let me tap you with this."

"Knock me?"

Xiao Ming uttered a sound, as if he had imagined something terrifying. His pupils contracted, and he took a few steps back, staring warily at Lu Changzhi, his expression immediately turning somewhat pitiful.

"Master, you're not going to knock me out and make me into soup, are you?"

Lu Changzhi's lips twitched.

"How come after all this time, we've lost even this much trust?"

Xiao Ming paused for a moment, then said.

"Whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll get a beating anyway, so be it, come on."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed in front of Lu Changzhi and appeared in front of him. As if he couldn't bear to look at the stick, he turned his back to Lu Changzhi.

Lu Changzhi glanced at Xiao Ming's bird's rear end and said.

Turn around.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Mu Fan's voice rang out, tinged with surprise.

"Eh, Master, what's going on?"

Lu Changzhi glanced at Mu Fan, somewhat surprised.

"Weren't you just scratching your head like that? How did you suddenly appear?"

Mu Fan shook his head and sighed.

"Thinking like this all the time is exhausting. But I can feel Xiao Ming's return, can't I?"

"It's a rare treat, so I'm planning to have him take me for a drive to relax."

Lu Changzhi nodded.

You definitely need to balance work and rest.

Mu Fan is the kind of person who, when he doesn't want to move, is more likely than anyone else to slack off and enjoy himself; but when he really wants to move, he has an incredibly long endurance.

Since obtaining high-abundance uranium, Mu Fan has been busy with other matters most of the time.

"Oh, right."

Mu Fan then looked at Lu Changzhi, his gaze lingering on the stick in Lu Changzhi's hand for a moment, then at Xiao Ming's buttocks facing Lu Changzhi. A thoughtful look flashed across his face before he spoke.

"Master, Xiao Ming... in heat?"

Before Lu Changzhi could speak, Xiao Ming spat out a sound like a human.

"Give me an egg!"

"I'm cooperating with your master, I'm being forced into this, do you understand?"

Mu Fan blinked and looked at Lu Changzhi.

"Master, will my presence here interfere with what you're doing?"

Lu Changzhi shook his head slightly.

"Hey kid, think about something serious for once."

Having said that, he raised his hand and waved it gently, and a force turned Xiao Ming's body around so that his buttocks were no longer facing Lu Changzhi, but facing Mu Fan.

Then, he picked up the long stick and gently tapped Xiao Ming on the back.

"Smack--"

A very faint sound rang out.

The wooden stick wasn't used with much force; the blows were delivered very casually.

This action immediately elicited a look of human-like bewilderment on Xiao Ming's face.

He turned his head to look at the long staff in Lu Changzhi's hand, then looked at Lu Changzhi and asked.

"Finished?"

Lu Changzhi nodded.

"It's over."

Mu Fan looked at him strangely.

"What?"

At this moment, Xiao Ming's bird face suddenly twitched, his feathers trembled, and his voice became somewhat unsettled.

The bird opens its beak, revealing two characters.

"It's over!"

As the sound was emitted, a drum-like sound suddenly came from Xiao Ming's body, and then it seemed as if the power of a dragon and an elephant surged within him.

Mu Fan noticed the same thing, and his gaze couldn't help but fall on the stick in Lu Changzhi's hand again.

With a thought, he brought up the system introduction for the stick.

The next moment, his eyes widened slightly, filled with disbelief, then he seemed to suddenly wake up, his expression changing slightly as he spoke.

"So if that counts as one blow, then..."

Mu Fan had barely finished speaking.

"Pfft--"

A powerful gust of air, mixed with something indescribable, burst out of the door from Xiao Ming's side and headed straight for the location where Mu Fan was.

Mu Fan's expression suddenly changed, and without saying a word, he immediately dodged away.

At the same time, a ghostly scream also rang out.

"Master! This couldn't have been done on purpose!"

Lu Changzhi smiled but remained silent.

At this moment, Xiao Ming also started moving, striving to catch up with Mu Fan, while simultaneously releasing his pent-up energy.

In the blink of an eye, a specially made rain began to fall above Hidden Origin Peak.

Accompanied by Mu Fan's thunderous, furious voice.

"Brother Chicken! You can't be this dishonest as a prostitute!"

Reclining on the chair, Luo Ling'er's eyelids twitched, she opened her eyes, her nose twitched, and her brows furrowed.

Then, blinking, he strained to look up at the sky, his face filled with shock.

"Xiao Ming!"

"Stop! Stop! Hidden Origin Peak has lost its original flavor!"
