Chapter 1197: Delayed Return, Poor Mo Xingyuan

"Big Brother, the bird meat is tender, but the beef is fragrant… which do you prefer?" The Golden-Haired Lion chewed on the Ox Ghost King's meat, beginning his critique.

"Hmm… let's go with the beef, the flavor is better," Xiao Fan said with a serious face.

"This beef is really not bad. After eating it, I feel like my strength has increased a lot," the Golden-Haired Lion chuckled.

His Physique is very strange.

Every time he eats a large amount of Yao Beast meat, he becomes stronger…

Moreover, his ability to challenge those of a higher rank is also very strong.

The two ate with great relish, eating for three days and three nights…

Only then did people gradually start arriving, looking dejected…

"Darling Xiao, eating meat?" After Red Demoness returned, she forced a smile and said.

"Yes, come over and have some," Xiao Fan waved his hand.

Red Demoness was not pretentious either; she walked over with light steps, kicked the Golden-Haired Lion away in passing, and sat in the spot next to Xiao Fan.

"Wuwu-ao!" The Golden-Haired Lion felt extremely aggrieved. Is this how you treat a spirit pet?

Of course, he only dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak. Showing his teeth was fine, but anything else was out of the question…

Xiao Fan looked at the Golden-Haired Lion with sympathy, shook his head slightly, and sighed.

Women! Better not to provoke them…

The Golden-Haired Lion shook his head and wagged his tail: "I'm going to have a Breakthrough!" Leaving that sentence behind, he walked away dashingly.

After the Golden-Haired Lion left, Red Demoness asked: "Darling Xiao, what breed is this lion of yours? Do you really have no idea at all?"

Xiao Fan shook his head: "I really don't know… I just picked him up."

"His Bloodline is very powerful, and mainly, his promotion is just too fast. Every time he finishes eating Yao Beast meat, he can advance!!"

"Yes, he's been like this since he was small!" Xiao Fan recalled how the lion used to eat beef jerky in the beginning.

He even began to wonder. If he had fed this lion various types of Yao Beast meat since it was young! Would this lion have become strong long ago? And not have been useless for several years?

After a while, Lan Zhanque also returned. Originally looking dejected, upon seeing Xiao Fan and Red Demoness grilling and eating meat, her expression darkened even further…

"Zhanque, come over and eat some meat!" Xiao Fan said with a sheepish grin, waving his hand repeatedly.

However, Lan Zhanque snorted coldly and ignored Xiao Fan. There was no need to say much; Xiao Fan knew that Lan Zhanque was jealous.

With a strong survival instinct, he immediately stood up, grabbed Lan Zhanque's hand, and pulled her over.

Red Demoness was unhappy when she saw that.

"Why didn't you pull me over just now?"

"I…" Xiao Fan was speechless.

However, hearing Red Demoness's words, Lan Zhanque became happy, sat down slowly, and began to taste the roasted beef.

"I originally thought the Ox Ghost King had run away… and his Physical Body was destroyed, so maybe we wouldn't be able to eat his meat. I didn't expect to be able to eat it after all, how great…"

"Yes, yes, if it's delicious, eat more. Red Demoness, you too, eat more." Xiao Fan immediately changed the subject, unwilling to dwell on the previous topic with the two women!

Red Demoness was also too lazy to argue. She simply focused on the beef…

Countless tens of thousands of miles away.

Inside a deep pit dozens of miles underground in a cave.

"Achoo… why do I feel itchy all over?" the Ox Ghost King muttered to himself.

That's right, the hardworking old ox had excavated a deep pit of several dozen miles, hiding himself underground and becoming an underground worker!

The goal was to keep a distance from Xiao Fan!

This way, even if someone flew overhead, they would still be dozens of miles away from the Ox Ghost King… unless someone specifically sensed for him, they probably wouldn't be able to detect his aura.

In order to survive and persist until the end of the Secret Realm, the Ox Ghost King had truly racked his brains!!!

If there were a "Prodigy Model Worker List," the Ox Ghost King would definitely be the number one choice!

Xiao Fan ate meat with the two women.

Not long after, Li Xuancang and the others all returned one after another.

They all returned in disappointment, feeling that this Opportunity had nothing to do with them.

"Brother Xiao… we are going to leave. It seems this heaven-supporting leaf does not recognize us," Li Xuancang sighed.

"I plan to leave too," Xiao Fan said. "What are your plans afterward?"

"First, I will go slaughter the natives to ensure I can obtain a quota to enter the Heavenly Blood Pool!" Li Xuancang said.

Xiao Fan nodded: "Then we will meet later."

"Take care."

"Take care."

Li Xuancang led his followers away.

These followers thanked and bowed to Xiao Fan one after another.

If not for Xiao Fan, their result would likely have been turning into Blood Pills, refined away by Yi Tuo… That would have been their fate! Fortunately, Xiao Fan saved them!

"Alright, let's go too," Xiao Fan chuckled.

Lan Zhanque and Red Demoness had no objections and followed Xiao Fan as they left in another direction.

A group of Mo Xingyuan's followers were left behind.

They looked at each other in dismay…

"Where is Lord?"

"I don't know…"

"I saw Lord earlier, he told me not to disturb him…"

"Could Lord have obtained the heaven-supporting leaf!"

"That's possible!"

These followers of his began to discuss it one after another.

They all believed that it was possible Mo Xingyuan had obtained the heaven-supporting leaf! That was why he hadn't returned yet!
