He recounted meeting Huang Hongyuan and gifting medicine on Huashang Street in detail. To avoid their worry, he omitted the encounter with Mola and the demon cultivators on his way back.
Xiang Wanli listened and laughed, "Mr. Cheng, I never thought you were so generous, gifting so much medicine to Huashang for free!"
"Some people say you're all about money, selling even an earthworm for two million in Nanshan Lake."
"Now it seems that was pure slander!"
"..." Cheng Xiaofan was speechless.
It seemed this beautiful woman knew quite a lot about him. She even knew about the earthworm incident. To maintain his image, he immediately said, "Miss Xiang, you understand me best!"
"Selling an earthworm for two million? That's just malicious attacks by those with ill intentions in the martial world!"
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan deliberately yawned and said, "Alright, let's not talk about these things anymore. Everyone should rest!"
Yang Jigang quickly chimed in, "Yes, Mr. Cheng is also tired. We should all rest!"
Afterward, everyone returned to their respective bedrooms.
There were no rats in the presidential suite. Cheng Xiaofan was confident that Xiang Wanli wouldn't come to his room to sleep again tonight.
He entered his bedroom and closed the door.
Next, Cheng Xiaofan intended to collect Duowen's gold. Of course, this also included the over twenty tons of gold stored at Mola's home. Especially Duowen's more than five hundred tons of gold. The amount was truly staggering. It was indeed a gold-producing country. It was extremely rare for an individual to store so much gold. Perhaps in some countries, even with all their assets, they wouldn't have this amount.
From the auras of Duowen and Mola, Cheng Xiaofan had already obtained their home addresses. He mapped their addresses in his mind and, using his spiritual sense, transmitted it to Potianying's mind.
"Chirp—"
Instantly, Potianying flew to Cheng Xiaofan's bedroom window. Cheng Xiaofan immediately opened the window and leaped onto Potianying's back.
Potianying carried Cheng Xiaofan and soared into the sky. Duowen, the leader of the demon cultivators, had already been executed. Tomorrow, Mengxizi would undoubtedly order his property to be confiscated. If Cheng Xiaofan didn't collect the gold tonight, it would fall into Mengxizi's hands tomorrow. He couldn't shamelessly ask Mengxizi for the gold then. He had to seize this opportunity tonight to collect it.
In the blink of an eye, Cheng Xiaofan arrived above Duowen's residence. He waved his hand, and a powerful dragon force swept into Duowen's residence. Over five hundred tons of gold were quickly collected by Cheng Xiaofan into his space. Afterward, Potianying carried Cheng Xiaofan back to the capital.
Arriving at Mola's residence, Cheng Xiaofan used the same method to collect the over twenty tons of gold into his space. On the way back to the State Guest House, Cheng Xiaofan noticed a chef at a barbecue restaurant placing roasted ducks onto a tray, preparing to serve them to customers in the hall. Kyoto, this "bullet country," was a city that never slept. It was common for people to eat at barbecue restaurants late at night. Under normal circumstances, during this critical period of rampant viruses, few people would go out for gatherings. Yet, there were still those who, not knowing their own limits, liked to gather at night.
Since Cheng Xiaofan was in a good mood today, his childlike mischievousness resurfaced. He said to Potianying, "Potianying, the roasted duck in this 'bullet country' is quite good, no less than the roasted duck in our Huaxia capital."
"Would you like to have some?"
Potianying knew its master was up to another prank. Moreover, it could enjoy a grand meal by taking this opportunity. It immediately replied, "Yes, Master, I'm feeling hungry. Could you get me some food?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Alright, I'll get you some roasted duck right away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand again, and a dragon force swept down towards the barbecue restaurant. Coincidentally, the chef was carrying a tray of roasted ducks to the hall. Before he could distribute the ducks to the dining guests, a "plop" was heard. The more than ten roasted ducks piled on the tray all flew out of the plate and toward the door.
"Ah, everyone, look quickly! The roasted ducks are flying into the sky!"
"God, what is going on? How can roasted ducks fly?"
"A celestial omen, could something happen?"
"God, this is too strange!"
The dining guests rushed outside and watched the roasted ducks fly into the sky, their faces paling, and they cried out in alarm. Fortunately, Potianying had concealed its form. No one saw the roasted ducks flying into the sky. They all fell into the claws of an eagle.
Looking at the panicked crowd below, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but laugh heartily. He said, "Interesting, interesting, truly interesting!"
A short while later, Cheng Xiaofan returned to his bedroom. He went to the bathroom, took a shower, and lay on the bed feeling refreshed.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Just as Cheng Xiaofan was about to fall asleep, a rhythmic knocking sound came from outside the door. What time was it? Someone was knocking on his door at this hour? He opened his penetrating gaze and saw Xiang Wanli standing outside the door. Was this beauty mistaken? Did she want to sleep with him again? Cheng Xiaofan got out of bed with a darkened expression. He walked over and opened the door.
"Huh, Miss Xiang," he couldn't help but widen his eyes and ask curiously, "Why are you knocking on my door instead of resting in your own bedroom?"
Xiang Wanli immediately blushed. She said, "Mr. Cheng, I don't know what's going on."
"I couldn't sleep at all after entering my bedroom, so I thought of coming to your room to sleep."
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Miss Xiang, are you kidding me? If you can't sleep in your own bedroom, do you think you'll be able to sleep in mine?"
Xiang Wanli nodded very seriously. She said, "Last night, when I slept in your bedroom, I fell asleep as soon as I got into bed."
"Today, I want to try sleeping with you again."
"..." Cheng Xiaofan was utterly speechless upon hearing this. Last night, I was worried I couldn't resist your charm, so I used my spiritual energy to put you to sleep. You must know that I am a very normal man, and the dragon heart is easily disturbed, making it easy to lose control. Aren't you afraid that sleeping with me might lead to a lapse in control?
However, Cheng Xiaofan also knew that some people suffer from insomnia when they change beds. Moreover, being abroad, coupled with the rampant virus in this "bullet country," Xiang Wanli's insomnia was a normal occurrence. He could only say with a helpless expression, "Miss Xiang, please come in!"
