Changes of the sacred tree

After leaving the Forbidden Ground, Xiao Fan returned to the Tiandao Sect Branch with NanGong XiMeng.

He also took the opportunity to give Xiao Qing some time to count the treasures.

During his hundred years in the Battleground Forbidden Land, he spent most of his time hunting Qi Luck Children.

He rarely had such free time to chat with her.

NanGong XiMeng was also genuinely happy.

However, she was very sensible.

She directly said, if you have something to do, you can go handle it first.

She could understand everything.

Xiao Fan directly refused, saying, 'For a hundred years in the Forbidden Ground, I've been constantly on the move, never truly settling down.'

'It's not easy to have free time, so no matter what, I must spend it well with you.'

NanGong XiMeng said no, but her body was very honest.

She smiled and threw herself into Xiao Fan's arms, her delicate hands gently embracing Xiao Fan's waist.

She whispered about her past into his ear, holding nothing back.

Her shy, clinging demeanor was a stark contrast to the cold and indifferent image she presented to others.

If Xiao Fan had not won her heart, he probably would never have seen this side of NanGong XiMeng.

Xiao Fan also listened attentively, nodding from time to time.

Occasionally, he would return a few sweet words, making NanGong XiMeng smile knowingly, her charm overflowing.

In her interactions with him, NanGong XiMeng always felt incredibly happy, becoming increasingly unable to extricate herself.

When their feelings deepened, she shyly showed off her dancing and singing to Xiao Fan.

It was a small intimacy.

Although she wasn't as naturally charming and graceful as Luo Ruyan, and her movements were a bit stiff.

But for a lady of noble birth to be willing to put in such effort to please him, it was enough.

Besides, when a man watches a woman dance, he isn't truly looking to appreciate the dance itself.

Their affection grew, and things naturally progressed.

The distance between them grew shorter, the atmosphere became somewhat restless, and NanGong XiMeng found herself unable to control her desires.

She found herself becoming somewhat insatiable, always wanting to possess Xiao Fan.

Would he think I'm not reserved enough?

Seeing her deep affection, Xiao Fan naturally granted her wish.

A fragrant breeze brought warmth, unable to disperse the tender feelings.

Seven days later, NanGong XiMeng, with eyes full of tenderness, saw Xiao Fan off from her bedchamber.

With the Chronospace Codex's one day equaling ten thousand years, the time Xiao Fan spent with her was more than enough.

During this period, Xiao Fan also lectured her on the Dao with meticulous care.

She realized that her understanding of cultivation was far inferior to Xiao Fan's.

The prophecy that her destined Dao would open upon encountering a mortal was quite accurate.

She took out the Primordial Great Luo Realm Fruit, preparing to consume it and achieve a Breakthrough.

...

As they left, Miao Xiaoqing stood beside Xiao Fan, whispering:

"Master, why don't you play with Xi Meng for a little longer? I still need some time."

"There are over a hundred thousand Storage Rings here alone, and each ring is like a large warehouse. Give me a thousand or eight hundred years, and I can categorize all the treasures."

She even felt that Xiao Fan's time for enjoyment was too short. Why didn't he play for a few more days? That way, she could finish counting.

This was indeed true.

The Qi Luck Children intercepted by Xiao Fan were already very wealthy.

It could be said that every Child of Destiny was a walking treasure trove.

In addition, the Battleground Forbidden Land was rich in treasures, and the mineral veins, divine materials, Spirit Pills, and miraculous medicines they collected were countless.

If these treasures were spread across the Eternal Immortal Domain, they could even raise the ground by ten thousand feet.

Miao Xiaoqing was still counting, tirelessly enjoying herself.

There were simply too many, almost uncountable.

Xiao Fan was a little speechless and said, "Can't you find someone to help?"

Miao Xiaoqing replied weakly, "I just love the feeling of counting treasures, it's like a mortal counting money."

"That feeling of having so much money you can't count it is really satisfying."

"If others count it, the joy is diminished."

Xiao Fan: "..."

Forget it, if I throw you into the book for an hour, that should be enough.

He had just taken out the Chronospace Codex but hadn't acted yet.

Miao Xiaoqing Drill in by herself, giggling, "Thank you, Master, I'll roll in myself, meow!"

Xiao Fan shook his head and chuckled, 'Sigh.'

What an interesting little cat.

Leaving the Tiandao Sect Branch, Xiao Fan returned to the Qingshuang Immortal Realm.

When he returned to the Qingshuang Immortal Realm, he found Qing Yu, Ning Bing, and Xiao Fang already waiting outside the door.

Xiao Fang was the most excited.

When she saw Xiao Fan, she flew out directly and rushed into Xiao Fan's embrace.

"Daddy, you're back."

She was full of joy, and the two small ponytails tied behind her little head swayed, looking so cheerful.

Xiao Fan gently hugged her, lightly pinching Xiao Fang's chubby little cheek, and said, "I'm back."

A hundred years had passed, but she was still as small and cute as ever, unchanged.

"Hehe."

She clung to Xiao Fan like a koala, then turned her head to Qing Yu and Ning Bing and said,

"Sister Qing Yu, Sister Ning Bing, come quickly."

"Didn't you say you missed Daddy? Come on!"

Children's words are innocent, and Qing Yu and Ning Bing became a little flustered when Xiao Fang said that.

They seemed a bit reserved.

Xiao Fan walked over and took both of their hands.

They entered the Qingshuang Immortal Realm together.

Xiao Fang had so many secrets to tell, whispering non-stop in Xiao Fan's ear.

She leaned close to Xiao Fan's ear, her childish voice incredibly serious, and whispered,

"Daddy, you've been away from Xiao Fang for so long, did you secretly miss Xiao Fang?"

Seeing her serious expression, Xiao Fan also quietly whispered in her ear:

"Yes, I wanted to come back and play with Xiao Fang every day, I wished I could have come back sooner."

Hearing Xiao Fan's affirmative answer.

Xiao Fang let out a long sigh, patting her chest with her small hand, as if relieved.

She said in a childish voice, "That's great."

"I thought I was the only one secretly missing you."

When he heard this, Xiao Fan's heart almost melted.

He lovingly ruffled Xiao Fang's little head. 'You little rascal, you really know how to get to me.'

Xiao Fang's gaze also fell on the White Tiger following behind him.

When White Tiger Star Lord saw Xiao Fang, his eyes darted away, trembling.

As if he had seen something terrifying.

"Daddy, who is this big cat?"

"I picked it up on the road. I saw that no one wanted it, so I brought it back."

"Can I stand on its back?"

"Of course, you can."

Xiao Fan conjured a small chair and tied it to White Tiger Star Lord's back.

He also hung a leash around its neck for easy leading.

Then he placed Xiao Fang on the small chair and gave her the leash.

Xiao Fang felt incredibly novel and excitedly shouted, "Giddy up, giddy up!"

White Tiger Star Lord dared not disobey and started running and jumping.

He was careful not to be too bumpy.

"Young Miss, I am a tiger, not a horse. Please don't say 'giddy up'."

Xiao Fang said, "It's close enough, as long as you understand."

Xiao Fang was in a playful mood, pulling him to run all over the courtyard.

Xiao Fan, on the other hand, left with Ning Bing and Qing Yu to have a good reunion.

After a hundred years apart, how could he let the beauties stay in their chambers alone?

...

At the same time, the Source Divine Tree rooted in Chaos began to wither.

Its boundless green leaves were visibly yellowing, wilting, and falling.

The Spiritual Qi and Immortal Qi it had been gushing forth to bless all the heavens were also drying up.

Its vitality was slowly dissipating, receding inward.

Tree God looked at this scene and spoke without joy or sorrow.

"At this rate, the Age of Dharma Decline will completely arrive in another thousand years."
