Chapter 5522: Days of Toil

When Xiao Fan left, he had made proper arrangements for Ye Miaoyin and the others.

Worried that Shengtian Mansion would retaliate, and also concerned for Xiao Li's safety, he had departed quickly to seek a way to become stronger.

Xiao Fan hadn't expected to return so soon.

Xiao Fan took a step forward, and his figure vanished.

The next moment, Xiao Fan arrived outside Lingxiao Palace.

The first person Xiao Fan sensed was An Muyin, followed by Ye Miaoyin and the others; they were all inside Lingxiao Palace.

Lingxiao Palace was also a rare supreme treasure with many capabilities, but in Xiao Fan's eyes, it was no longer much to look at.

Xiao Fan took a step, ignoring the Barrier of Lingxiao Palace, and entered inside.

Of course.

This wasn't because Xiao Fan had broken the Barrier of Lingxiao Palace, but rather because he was originally one of the masters of Lingxiao Palace.

"Xiao Fan?!"

The next moment, An Muyin materialized before Xiao Fan, looking at him in disbelief.

"Hehehe… It's me." Xiao Fan nodded, smiling as he asked, "Have you been well lately?"

Xiao Fan had not concealed his Qi, so An Muyin could naturally sense him easily.

"You… it really is you! You actually returned so quickly?!" An Muyin's face was filled with shock, and she spoke in disbelief.

"Hahaha… It's fine. This trip went smoother than I imagined," Xiao Fan laughed.

"Good! That's great!" An Muyin nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with worry.

However, the way she looked at Xiao Fan held a trace of complexity.

Because Xiao Fan was not the Xiao Haotian of the past.

"Ahem… Where are Miaoyin and the others? Are they all doing well?" Xiao Fan coughed dryly, interrupting An Muyin's thoughts.

"They're fine, they're all doing quite well," An Muyin smiled.

Xiao Fan smiled and said calmly, "I'm back…"

His voice seemed to have magic, calm and peaceful, yet it penetrated everything, ignoring all Barriers, and appeared in the ears of everyone inside Lingxiao Palace.

Hearing this, Ye Miaoyin, Long Caiwei, the Demon Emperor, Hu Rui, Nangong Lingxuan, Lan Zhanque, Zhao Yanfu, Yu Qiongyao, Zhangsun Ning, Red Demoness, Shi Yun, Princess Huang Ji, Feng Yuliu, Chiyue Lianshang, and others who were in seclusion all appeared simultaneously, unable to wait to surround Xiao Fan.

"Xiao Fan! You're finally back!"

"You… you finally know to come back?!"

"How is Lier? Did you see Lier?!"

"Fan! Have you been well during your time away?!"

"…"

"Hehehe… Rest assured, Lier is very well, and everything went very smoothly," Xiao Fan said with a smile, sweeping a glance over the women.

"Where are Xiao Xuan and Xiao Qing?" Xiao Fan asked.

"They went out. One said it was for training, and the other… was also for training," Ye Miaoyin sighed.

"Training? Alright then." Xiao Fan nodded. In Tianming Holy Land, Xiao Qing and Xiao Xuan would not be in any danger.

The group of women was incredibly excited, surrounding Xiao Fan, their eyes filled with love—a love so intense it was practically dripping.

At this moment, Xiao Jin and Wei Zhongshan walked out.

"Big Brother!"

"Big Brother!"

Xiao Jin and Wei Zhongshan were all smiles, wanting to get closer, but no matter how they squeezed, they couldn't get in.

Regarding this, Xiao Jin and Wei Zhongshan felt quite helpless.

"Xiao Fan! You're back!"

"Your Majesty! How have you been lately?!"

Ye Cang and Zhao Wuji appeared, their faces full of excitement.

"Everything is very good. How about you all?" Xiao Fan said with a smile.

"Good! Everything is good!" Zhao Wuji smiled, also wanting to approach, but he couldn't squeeze in either.

Ye Cang was steady and didn't try to force his way in…

Those living in Lingxiao Palace were all Xiao Fan's friends, family, and loved ones; others could only wait outside Lingxiao Palace.

As for matters regarding Tianming Holy Land, Xiao Fan was very reassured leaving them to Zhao Wuji and Ye Cang, so he didn't ask much.

Ye Cang and Zhao Wuji were also very sensible and did not report matters regarding Tianming Holy Land to Xiao Fan at this time.

At the same time, they knew that if they dared to report at this time, they would inevitably offend many… women.

For the period that followed, Xiao Fan was very busy.

After all, a short separation is like a new marriage, and rain after a long drought… it was once again the days of Xiao Fan's arduous toil.

In a flash, one month later…

Xiao Fan's complexion was rosy, completely unaffected. Having advanced to the Universe Emperor Realm, his Qi and blood were as vigorous as the sea, reaching an unimaginable level.

Never mind a mere dozen or so, even if a few hundred came, it would be nothing to him.
