Chapter 139 Returning to Stone Village

Chapter 139 Returning to Stone Village

A few days later.

Deep within the desolate region, in a certain azure lake, fish with golden scales leaped out of the water from time to time, glittering with precious light.

On the shore, where the green grass was like a carpet, flocks of birds paced about; they were of various species, brightly colored, radiating a dreamy radiance, and exceptionally beautiful.

Furthermore, herds of unicorns ran here, incomparably holy and completely unfrightened by people.

Not far away, there was also a small village nestled here, with smoke curling upward from chimneys, peaceful and tranquil, resembling a utopia without a single trouble.

In the village, everyone was very rustic, wearing animal skins, with happy smiles overflowing on their faces.

"Ah, an outsider is coming!"

By the clear river, a group of children saw a figure in gorgeous clothes walking with wind-swept steps arrive, and they all hollered and shouted.

"No, that's not an outsider! It's the big brother from before!" When approaching the lake, a slightly older child recognized him.

"That's right, Little Fan brother is really here!" A group of children were ecstatic, quickly surrounding him forward.

Clearly, they still remembered Lin Fan and had a deep impression of him.

"Little Fan Brother, we haven't seen you in three years, we missed you to death…"

"Ever since you left, no one has taken us to find Vicious Beast cubs anymore."

"And also, also, Clan Chief grandpa's explanations of bone texts are so confusing, not nearly as transparent as yours…"

A group of young children chirped noisily, surrounding him very affectionately, as if they had endless words to say.

"The young brother from three years ago is here, where is he?"

Finally, many adults of Stone Village were alerted and rushed out quickly, and even Shi Yunfeng came to the village entrance to welcome him, extremely excited.

"Old Village Chief!" Lin Fan greeted warmly, following them into the village.

"Didn't the lass who was with you last time come? Is she alright?" Shi Yunfeng smiled kindly.

Years had passed. Ever since Lin Fan cured his hidden injuries, his body had become much sturdier, his white hair had turned back to black, and his eyes radiated vigor.

"She's fine, it's just that she's been in a bad mood lately and is in seclusion cultivating bitterly." Speaking of this, Lin Fan laughed heartily, as if recalling something interesting.

Yuechans secondary body wasn't just in a bad mood; she was practically shutting herself in! With a fiancé whose talent was so strong, wasn't her wish to dissolve the engagement as distant as the horizon?

"Swish!"

Afterwards, Lin Fan took out many gifts from his qiankun bag. Treasures and Vicious Beast corpses piled up into a mountain; these were all creatures that wanted to rob him along the way, but they were obviously counter-killed.

"Wow, what Rank of experts were these beasts and birds during their lifetimes? Even after death, they can still emit such might!?"

Some elderly people and uncles were startled and dumbfounded.

Especially that bear, seven to eight zhang tall, which possessed a single silver horn. Its fur was like satin, silver and bright all over, and the blood dripping from its fatal wound was even more incomparably dazzling and intimidating.

"At the lowest, it's the Inscription Realm. Only that pure-blooded single-horned silver bear has a higher cultivation, almost reaching the Venerable Realm."

Lin Fan said very calmly. Along the way, he passed by many famous mountains and grand peaks, vast earth and sacred mountains, so naturally there were no lack of creatures eyeing his treasures.

There was no help for it; the Xuanhuang shoes on his feet were too eye-catching, making it hard not to attract attention, but they could only blame themselves for giving birth to greed.

After all, in the Heaven Mending Sect, he was the model Junior Brother whom everyone loved and flowers bloomed for; how could he possibly go out of his way to murder for wealth?

"Hiss… An Array Formation Realm pure-blooded Vicious Beast!"

Hearing this, the crowd sucked in a cold breath, trembling, as these were such powerful creatures.

Of course, they were even more amazed by the young Lin Fan. At twelve years old, he was already able to hunt fierce birds of this Rank. Truly remarkable.

"Child, these gifts are too precious. Take them back. The village originally had the two Eight Treasures Chickens you sent, which improved the Physique of many children…"

Even the usually steady Shi Yunfeng's voice was trembling. Where had he ever seen so many good things? He had only heard of them when he was young.

"Accept them. I can't eat that much by myself, otherwise it would be a waste, and those treasures are useless to me; they shatter at a single touch."

In the end, since Lin Fan's words had reached this point, the people of Stone Village reluctantly accepted them.

Because it was impossible to just leave the corpses of those Vicious Beasts and fierce birds at the village entrance and let their vital blood drain away; otherwise, it would be an utter waste of heavenly treasures!

Afterwards, Lin Fan passed by the willow tree at the head of the village, feeling somewhat surprised.

Willow Mom was different now; much of her charred old tree bark had fallen off, and several small protrusions had appeared on the trunk, as if new tender branches were about to sprout out.

Seeing his confusion, Shi Yunfeng explained that after he left three years ago, Willow Deity fell into a deep slumber, and after awakening, she became like this.

Lin Fan nodded, knowing that Willow Mom was undergoing Nirvana and recovering. Afterwards, he approached the willow tree and called out affectionately: "Willow Mom, I brought a gift for you too. I'll give it to you later."

"Hum!"

Suddenly, the willow tree emitted a soft halo. Its emerald-green branches and leaves floated up, swaying gently as if responding, saying: "Good, I am looking forward to it."

Everyone in Stone Village was very joyful. To welcome the arrival of Lin Fan, they exerted all their strength, got busy, and brought out the best things to entertain him.

A whole table full of dishes was prepared, featuring various game and spiritual fruits that they usually couldn't bear to eat.

"Where is little milk Hao?" Lin Fan asked. As Stone Village's number one big eater, the moment he smelled the fragrance, he was always the fastest.

"He is cultivating in the mountains dozens of li away, but he should be coming back soon…" Shi Yunfeng explained.

Turns out, ever since Shi Hao learned of his background, he cultivated even more desperately. His body was often bruised and battered, leaving early and returning late.

Soon, the sun set, and night gradually descended. A small figure came running swiftly from afar, its steps powerful and causing the ground to tremble slightly.

"He's back!" Shi Yunfeng laughed, looking at that filthy figure who looked just like a fur monkey.

"Aoo aoo aoo… Clan Chief grandpa, you actually started dinner today without waiting for me."

Before the small figure even entered the village, his strange cry could already be heard, extremely loud and full of Qi.

That was precisely the seven-year-old Shi Hao, draped in animal skins, covered in dust and grime, and looking dark, but a pair of eyes were exceptionally bright and his teeth were white.

He sprinted wildly on his bare feet, and in just a moment, he reached the front. On his shoulders crawled a Zhu Yan, squeaking and babbling as if it too was asking why they started dinner without waiting.

"Little One, look who has come?" Shi Yunfeng smiled kindly, pointing to the person sitting to the side.

"Ah, Brother Xiaofan!" Shi Hao was startled, looking at the delicate and pretty youth. Although the other party had changed a bit and matured a lot, he still recognized him.

The next moment, the equally wild Little One prepared to do a flying pounce, but the old village chief grabbed him a step earlier and scolded: "Go wash up first before coming back!"

At night, the aroma of meat assailed the nose, and the fragrance of wine overflowed, making people's appetites wide open and causing saliva to form in their mouths.

The little foodie Shi Hao blinked his big eyes and said while eating: "So fragrant! What kind of meat is this? The vital Qi it contains is actually stronger than the Suanni meat we've eaten before!"

"Pure blood!"

With just these two words, Little One was stunned for a moment, and then frantically began to swallow, not caring whether his mouth could hold it or not, forcibly stuffing it down his stomach.

Until vital Qi permeated his entire body, as if he were on fire, and his little face turned red, did he stop to sit cross-legged and quickly refine it.

"Sigh…"
