107: Why don’t you come over?

After several minutes of calcination, the Demon Horn Scorpion's internal organs were completely incinerated by the Sun True Fire.

It finally died!

Zhang Fan removed the Void Imprisonment, allowing the flames to continue burning the remaining shell.

Then he shifted battlefields to help Chu Jian and the other two deal with the Titan Armadillo.

The Titan Armadillo was very valuable, worth at least nine figures, and Zhang Fan couldn't bear to burn it with Sun True Fire.

The best way to deal with such a valuable Monster Lord was with Nine Netherworld Fire!

Incinerate the soul, preserve the body!

It was the same process: Hua Xia used vines to control the Titan Armadillo, and Zhang Fan released Nine Netherworld Fire to burn it.

After burning for more than ten minutes, the Titan Armadillo finally stopped moving.

Zhang Fan put the Titan Armadillo's corpse into a storage bottle and preserved it.

Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.

Honestly, the continuous emergence of three Monster Lords from the Bottomless Abyss created immense pressure!

Monster Lords were different from ordinary monsters; a slight misstep could lead to a disastrous defeat, even death at the hands of a Monster Lord!

Fortunately, it was a close call but without major incident, and the three monsters were perfectly dealt with.

"Captain, no more Monster Lords will appear next, right?" Li Qian asked Hua Xia.

Everyone else also looked at Hua Xia.

"Hard to say!"

Hua Xia stared at the pitch-black Bottomless Abyss, her expression grave:

"None of us know what exactly is beneath this abyss, or if there are any other Monster Lords!"

"The most pressing matter is to go outside and rest properly!"

"Everyone is tired!"

"After we've eaten, drunk, and rested well, we'll come back to explore tomorrow!"

"Captain, now that you mention it, I suddenly feel so tired!"

"How can you not be tired? We traveled all day and then came down here to fight monsters. Even an iron man couldn't endure it!"

"Let's rest!"

No one opposed Hua Xia's suggestion, especially Zhang Fan.

After several rounds of intense fighting, his Congenital One Qi consumption was incredibly high.

He urgently needed to recuperate!

Zhang Fan activated Earth Walking Immortal and led everyone back outside.

Hua Xia found a relatively well-preserved earthen house, released the Wilderness Villa, and everyone entered to rest.

Li Yu created 9 Shadow Clones to go to the kitchen and cook.

Li Yu's main body, Chu Jian, and Li Qian returned to their respective rooms.

Hua Xia led Zhang Fan to the second floor: "This is your room!"

Zhang Fan nodded, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Where's your room?"

"Next to yours!"

Hua Xia pointed to the room next door.

"Got it!"

Zhang Fan nodded, then suddenly said, "Don't lock your door tonight!"

Hua Xia's small face instantly flushed red, and she softly spat, "Pervert!"

Then she opened her own door, quickly slipped inside, and rapidly closed the door, as if afraid Zhang Fan would come in.

"..."

Zhang Fan went to his room, first took out some Divine Tree Juice, diluted it with water, and drank several large gulps with satisfaction.

The rich Congenital One Qi contained in the Divine Tree Juice exploded within his body, nourishing his nearly depleted Qi Lake.

After taking a shower, Li Yu's Shadow Clones had just finished preparing dinner.

Tonight's dinner was the classic Old Beijing copper pot hotpot.

After a day of turmoil, everyone was starving, and nothing felt better than a delicious meat feast.

After dinner, everyone chatted for a while before returning to their rooms.

Zhang Fan and Hua Xia were the last to go upstairs. While Hua Xia was opening her door, Zhang Fan tried to sneak in.

However, Hua Xia pushed him out, her face red, and she whispered, "Xiao Yu and the others are here, don't mess around!"

Zhang Fan feigned sadness: "I haven't seen you for so many days, I miss you!"

Hua Xia's heart trembled upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes flickered a few times, but in the end, she still shook her head and said, "Still, no!"

As if worried Zhang Fan would be angry, she quickly explained, "How about when we return to Base City? I'll make it up to you when we get back!"

"Alright then!"

Zhang Fan nodded helplessly: "I won't bother you anymore, good night!"

"Good night!"

Watching Zhang Fan leave, Hua Xia's heart was filled with reluctance.

She had just unlocked a new world, and it was the most intoxicating time of tasting the marrow and knowing its flavor, especially after being separated for so long.

Therefore.

She actually really wanted Zhang Fan to come in, even more than Zhang Fan did!

But she couldn't!

The soundproofing of the Wilderness Villa was good, but with her teammates' hearing, if she and Zhang Fan dared to do that, it would definitely be a live broadcast, heard clearly by everyone.

How could she face them afterward?

Zhang Fan returned to his room, calmed his restless heart, drank two more gulps of Divine Tree Juice, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Today's consumption of Congenital One Qi was immense, and he needed to replenish it as quickly as possible.

Night.

Bleak as water.

The villa was very quiet. Hua Xia sat cross-legged, also entering a state of meditation and recuperation.

However, today, she simply couldn't enter the state no matter what.

Inappropriate images kept popping up in her mind, making Hua Xia's mouth dry, her heart pounding, and crucially, causing a physiological reaction...

Spring water continuously flowed, streams gurgled!

"Ah ah ah ah--"

Hua Xia opened her eyes, her face red, and she clutched her delicate fists in frustration:

"Stinky Zhang Fan!"

"You've caused so much trouble!"

Hua Xia knew that cultivation couldn't continue. If her needs weren't resolved, she wouldn't be able to peacefully enter meditation tonight.

"But I just clearly rejected him. If I go find him now, will it seem like I'm going back on my word?"

Hesitation!

Struggle!

After a period of internal struggle, Hua Xia ultimately couldn't resist the temptation within her heart. She picked up her phone and sent a message:

Hua Xia: Are you asleep? I can't sleep a little!

Hua Xia's meaning was very clear; as long as Zhang Fan saw it, he would definitely understand what she meant.

However, the message went out like a mud ox entering the sea, with no response whatsoever.

Hua Xia grew a little impatient, so she simply sent two more messages:

Hua Xia: Why don't you come over? I miss you a little too!

Still no movement.

"What's wrong with this guy? How dare he not reply to my messages?"

Hua Xia huffed, kicking the quilt hard with her fair feet, as if she were kicking Zhang Fan.

Finally, she stopped pretending and simply picked up her phone to call him.

"The number you have dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later!"

"It's actually switched off!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Five minutes later.

Hua Xia slowly opened her door and tiptoed out.

She came to Zhang Fan's door, gently pushed it, and the door opened.

"He didn't close the door?"

Hua Xia was somewhat surprised. She carefully pushed open a crack, tiptoed inside, and slowly closed the door.

The room was completely dark, but this level of darkness was nothing to Hua Xia, who could see in the dark.

She saw Zhang Fan lying on the bed under the covers, already asleep.

"No wonder his phone was off!"

"So he was asleep!"

Hua Xia pouted.

However, it was good that he was asleep; it wouldn't be as awkward then!

She tiptoed over, looked at the sleeping Zhang Fan, carefully pulled back the covers, and slipped in.

No sooner had she lain down than her waist was suddenly tightly embraced. Hua Xia's delicate body trembled, and a warm breath brushed against her ear:

"Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and running to my bed?"

Zhang Fan was originally meditating and recuperating, but when Hua Xia opened the door, he noticed it and pretended to be asleep.

So, he had been awake the whole time!

Hua Xia trembled slightly, her heart racing, her body softening into a puddle, and she spoke somewhat incoherently:

"I...I missed you!"

"Where did you miss me?"

"Ev...everywhere!"

How could Zhang Fan resist such sweet talk? He immediately kissed her.

Hua Xia tightly hugged his neck, responding passionately.

Hot breaths exchanged between their faces, a duet of zither and flute, "Phoenix Seeks Mate," quietly emanated from the room.

Sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, sometimes rapid, sometimes slow...
