Lu Fan had no idea why, although he could cultivate the Shen Nong Yang Sheng Jue, he couldn't articulate or write it down, thus being unable to impart it to others. He had originally planned for Bai Xuemei to cultivate it, but now he would have to find another cultivation technique. However, he had never encountered any other cultivation techniques before.
Bai Xuemei did not possess the naturally extreme yin constitution of Liu Ruyan, who was a natural prodigy in cultivation. Suddenly, Lu Fan recalled that both Liu Ruyan and Shen Xinyi had gained considerable benefits from eating snake meat, and even Wang Yan had become like a snake spirit. However, the villagers hadn't experienced any special effects.
With a roll of his eyes, he retrieved the snake meat.
"Sister Xuemei! This is the snake meat I got. Try cooking it, perhaps there will be some unexpected benefits! When I have time, I can teach you some self-defense techniques." Lu Fan handed the snake meat to Bai Xuemei.
"Really! Then I'll be waiting for you, you can't lie to me!" Bai Xuemei winked at Lu Fan and turned to leave.
"Vixen! I never expected a career-oriented woman like this to be so irresistible when she's being flirtatious!" Lu Fan watched Bai Xuemei leave, letting out a long sigh. If she had winked a few more times, he doubted if he could have held himself back.
No, he already had Liu Ruyan, he couldn't... he couldn't...! Lu Fan took a deep breath.
After noon, Lu Fan felt that nothing else would happen, so he informed Bai Xuemei and Fan Xue'er, and rode his motorcycle back to the village.
Upon receiving Lu Fan's WeChat message, Liu Ruyan immediately slipped out of the village committee office. She quietly ran to the village entrance to wait for Lu Fan. Seeing Lu Fan riding his motorcycle from afar, Liu Ruyan's face lit up with joy, and she went to meet him.
"Xiao Fan! You're back!"
"Ruyan! Why did you come out to meet me?" Lu Fan stopped his motorcycle and asked in surprise.
Liu Ruyan immediately pouted, looking wronged, "You... you don't like me coming out to meet you?"
"No... no! It's just windy outside!" Lu Fan's heart stirred. Liu Ruyan looked so adorable, making him want to hold her in his arms.
Liu Ruyan's face immediately broke into a smile, and she slowly moved closer to Lu Fan. Her eyes also became fiery.
Whoosh... The little flame within Lu Fan seemed to be instantly ignited. He reached out and took Liu Ruyan's delicate little hand.
Just as the two were about to take another step...
"Brother Fan! Hehehe!" Suddenly, a clear voice rang out.
Liu Ruyan and Lu Fan were startled, their hearts pounding like thieves. They looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li Jingjing climbing out of a ditch by the roadside.
"Jingjing???"
"Jingjing???"
Lu Fan and Liu Ruyan were both stunned. This girl lived in the neighboring village, so how did she end up climbing out of this ditch? Could it be...?
Lu Fan and Liu Ruyan hurried to the edge of the ditch and looked around, but there was no one else.
"Jingjing! Why did you come here? Has someone bullied you?" Liu Ruyan immediately took Jingjing's hand and asked. Although this girl had the intelligence of a child, she was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young woman, and she was delicate and lovely. She could easily be deceived by bad people.
"Hehe! I... I came to find Brother Fan! I want to eat peaches!" Li Jingjing said to Lu Fan with a smile, her face full of expectation. Seeing Lu Fan's lack of reaction, she suddenly pouted, her big eyes instantly filling with tears, "Brother Fan promised to give me peaches yesterday... I... I..."
"Uh..."
"Uh..."
Lu Fan and Liu Ruyan were both helpless. This girl had actually traveled several miles to the neighboring village to find Lu Fan just for a peach! This was truly the intelligence of a child!
Lu Fan flipped his wrist, took out a peach, and handed it to Li Jingjing. This was something he had secretly saved to eat himself today, but it ended up being for this little girl!
Upon seeing the peach, Li Jingjing's face instantly cleared up. She took the peach and started eating it with big bites. Her posture was truly like that of a child, and it was impossible to tell that she was a seventeen-year-old girl.
"What should we do? Shall we send her back?" Liu Ruyan shrugged her shoulders. It seemed they couldn't let this girl go back alone; it wasn't safe.
"I'll make a call and have Li Mantang come to pick her up! I'll also let him know so he doesn't worry." Lu Fan hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone and called Li Mantang.
"Brother Fan! I don't want to go back!" Seeing Lu Fan calling her father, Li Jingjing immediately put on a tearful expression and pleaded.
"Jingjing! Brother's peaches have been eaten by you... no, Brother's peaches have been given to you... that's not right either, Brother has no more peaches..." As he said this, Lu Fan felt a chill down his spine. Damn it, why couldn't he explain this clearly?
"Alright! You've eaten the peaches, and if you don't go home, your father will worry about you!" Lu Fan reorganized his words before speaking again.
Pfft... Liu Ruyan burst into laughter beside him. You little rascal! Are you explaining to her, or are you deliberately making her think dirty thoughts?
"Sister! Don't you want to eat Brother's peaches? They're really delicious!" Li Jingjing suddenly looked at Liu Ruyan and said innocently.
"Alright! Brother has saved even more delicious peaches for Sister!" Liu Ruyan glanced at Lu Fan, but her little hand pinched Lu Fan's waist, her face flushing like a red cloud.
"Cough cough... Alright! I admit it!"
...
Beep beep beep... With a few honks of the horn, Li Mantang's car drove up from a distance. Upon receiving the call, the man had rushed over immediately.
"Little Doctor! Village Chief Liu! Thank you! I was in a meeting at the village committee and had no idea this child had come to you. I'm sorry for the trouble!" As soon as Li Mantang got out of the car, he came over and took Li Jingjing's hand, as if afraid the child would run off again.
He was also scared. His precious daughter was as beautiful as a blooming lotus. Fortunately, she met the Little Doctor and Liu Ruyan. What if she had encountered a bad person!
"Dad... I don't want to go back!" Li Jingjing looked at Li Mantang, her expression unwilling.
"You child, it's getting late, don't you want to go home and sleep in the wilderness? What if you encounter a big bad wolf?" Li Mantang quickly said, trying to scare her.
"I can sleep with Brother Fan! Brother Fan still has peaches to give me!" Li Jingjing suddenly said triumphantly to Li Mantang.
"No more, really no more this time! Jingjing! Brother really has no more peaches. You can't run to me by yourself anymore, understand? It's very dangerous!" Lu Fan quickly waved his hands and said.
Li Jingjing's big eyes instantly became watery...
Li Mantang, without regard for Jingjing's willingness, pulled her into the car, and with a whoosh... the car drove away.
"Xiao Fan...! I... I want to eat peaches too!" Liu Ruyan suddenly linked her arm with Lu Fan's and said charmingly.
