181: Qingming Project

Three days later, Xiao Fan woke up from his bed, still feeling a bit dizzy. After drinking two cups of Xiao Dingdong's special drink, he felt much better.

At this moment, Immortal Fire came over very considerately to cuddle with Xiao Fan, giving him warmth, and brought him explosive news that instantly energized him.

By reaching the 465th floor, Xiao Fan directly received over 80,000 points. Adding what he earned from previous tasks, he had nearly 100,000 in total.

And Immortal Fire, on her side, gave him another 250,000!

Among these, over 70,000 were from Immortal Fire herself climbing the Peak Tower, and another 70,000 were from Ye Kuang. Together, they made 150,000, with the remaining 100,000 given to Xiao Fan by the Dean.

Xiao Fan was confused.

Why did the Dean give me points?

Lin Xianhuo said gently, "Because they publicly displayed your battle footage, which doesn't conform to the rules. However, because your fighting style is very suitable for everyone to learn from, they compensated you with 50,000 points."

"The remaining 50,000 is a scholarship because you broke the historical record!"

Xiao Fan was stunned.

Waking up from this sleep, he had 350,000 points in hand?

A seventh-tier amplification system costs six thousand. He already had two books, so he only needed to buy 38 more, which would be 230,000. Second Brother would also give him an 80% discount, making it a little over 180,000?

That's roughly more than half of the points he had on hand?

Am I going to have Divine-Grade talent?

And there's also a 30% off card, I wonder if it can be used. Let's see if the description says 30% off a single item or 30% off a single purchase.

The final result made Xiao Fan a bit depressed; it was 30% off a single item. That makes sense, what if it was per purchase?

Saving up millions at once, one card saves 300,000.

But Xiao Fan is confident now!

The rewards for the Peak Tower Master position are updated every month. After I reach Divine-Grade, will I still lose to Ying Zheng?

I will not give up the Peak Tower Master position to anyone, not even once!

At this moment, Immortal Fire noticed that Xiao Dingdong had gone out to continue researching new food, and she quietly said to Xiao Fan, "The Dean asked me to give you a message."

"Xiao Dingdong's Cultivation is too low right now. It will definitely affect the group battles later, and because Xiao Dingdong's Cultivation is low, she won't be able to get many things that earn points."

"The Dean said that Xiao Dingdong's Ten Thousand Things Birth is an extraordinary talent, and he hopes you can Cultivate it well."

Xiao Fan's expression was complex, and he nodded, saying, "Yes... I've always felt like I've let Xiao Dingdong down these past few days."

"By the way, you should take back your 70,000. I don't need that many points right now, and aren't you researching a new blade technique?"

Immortal Fire sighed, "I'm not in a hurry with the new blade technique. I just think what the Dean said is quite right."

"We need to get Xiao Dingdong to keep up with the main group, so my 70,000 should also be spent on Xiao Dingdong."

"More importantly, Xiao Fan... tomorrow is Qingming."

Hearing this, Xiao Fan raised his eyebrows and nodded silently.

Xiao Dingdong is always diligent and never complains. She manages the house, cooks the meals, and has contributed immensely to him climbing so many floors of the Peak Tower.

But he had never truly doted on her, and she had never said anything.

This won't do...

Lin Xianhuo smiled and said, "Then tomorrow evening, you take Xiao Dingdong out alone for a stroll? Release a Kongming lantern or something. Ding Dong must miss her grandmother too."

"Yes." Xiao Fan smiled and said, "What about you?"

"I'll go Cultivate my blade technique." Lin Xianhuo smiled faintly, "Tomorrow evening, I can rest well. After you two finish your stroll, you can go find Old Ling for a drink. He's hosting a banquet at the casino tomorrow evening because some people in his team also have elders who have passed away and will be commemorating them on Qingming."

"Then after I finish practicing my blade technique, I'll come find you."

"Hehe, I haven't had a drink in a long time either."

Xiao Fan leaned on the headboard of the bed and chuckled, "Then it's settled."

"I've rested enough; I'll go say something to Ding Dong."

Xiao Fan got up and walked towards the living room. Xiao Dingdong was standing on a small stool, stir-frying vegetables. The way her small hands tossed the wok was a bit out of place, yet also made one's heart ache.

Xiao Fan stood behind her, picked her up from the small stool, and chuckled, "How's this height?"

Xiao Dingdong's cheeks flushed, and she whispered, "A little bit higher would be good."

"Alright."

But suddenly, Xiao Dingdong felt that it was too much trouble for Xiao Fan, so she said, "Oh, Brother Xiao Fan, I can do it myself."

But Xiao Fan held her tighter and said softly, "But you're not alone; you have family."

Hearing this, Xiao Dingdong's legs went soft from shyness, and her voice was sweet and fresh: "Brother Xiao Fan is so good..."

Xiao Fan, however, shook his head and said, "Xiao Dingdong is the best."

Lin Xianhuo, who was beside them, covered her mouth and chuckled softly, but didn't laugh out loud.

Because she suddenly remembered that Xiao Fan used to say "Immortal Fire is the best" constantly.

This guy really doesn't know how to say sweet nothings; it's always the same line back and forth.

But it wins in sincerity.

Thinking about it, isn't that a bit of a scoundrel?

It's not strange to say "you're the best" to every woman; what's strange is that he says it to everyone as if it's true.

Finally, Immortal Fire didn't disturb their private world and returned to her room to continue her theories.

Recently, she had been researching a completely new fighting method. Others only began to simplify and forge their own Dao when they reached the Martial God Realm.

But their generation was different; it was too competitive. So Lin Xianhuo decided to figure out her future path now, for example... dual blades!

On the other side, after Xiao Dingdong finished cooking, she was about to go to the sink to wash her hands, but Xiao Fan held her small hands. Water elements flowed over them, making them instantly spotless. Then Xiao Fan told her about the plan to go celebrate Qingming together tomorrow.

Grandma was still buried in Green Leaf City. She said that was her root, born there, died there.

Otherwise, Xiao Dingdong might have brought the ashes to the Imperial Capital.

So, they had to return to Green Leaf City tomorrow, but it would be quick. Transportation is so convenient now, especially for someone as wealthy as Xiao Fan. With the fastest shuttle arranged, a round trip would take less than an hour.

But Xiao Dingdong's first reaction after hearing this was, "Will that delay Sister Immortal Fire's Cultivation?"

She was so sensible it made one's heart ache.

Xiao Fan shook his head and smiled, "Tomorrow is our time together."

Hearing this, Xiao Dingdong's clear pupils trembled slightly, as if she couldn't believe what she had heard, appearing a bit flustered. Because she had never thought she was worthy of being alone with Xiao Fan, as she still believed deep down that she was an intruder.

Xiao Fan tenderly stroked her short azure hair and smiled, "You are also my woman, unique, not anyone's accessory."

After saying that, he lifted Xiao Dingdong high, held her in his arms, and cherished her in his heart.

Xiao Dingdong's large eyes suddenly became a little moist, and she trembled slightly with excitement, even sobbing uncontrollably.

Perhaps at this moment, she truly believed she had become Xiao Fan's woman.

This made Xiao Fan cherish her even more, by three points, because he had always been taking. His current Realm, including the achievements he made in the Peak competition, all had Xiao Dingdong's contribution, as if her effort was taken for granted.

He had never given her anything, and had not even noticed her emotions.

Therefore, he decided to thoroughly research Xiao Dingdong's future growth path.
