Cheng Fugui’s eyes lit up when he saw his son. “Ah, Xiao Fan, a rare visitor! Sit down quickly, Dad will make you some tea!”
Miao Xiuhua glared at him. “Your son is back, let him make it himself. Why are you being so polite?”
Cheng Fugui put on a righteous air. “My son is now a Lord. Even the King of the Midget Country,”
“Must kowtow to him. What’s wrong with his dad making him a cup of water?”
Cheng Xiaofan found it amusing. “Dad, Mom is right. Let me do it myself. No matter what Lord I am, it doesn’t change the fact that I’m your son!”
Miao Xiuhua laughed heartily when she heard this. “My son said it best, Cheng Fugui, you should learn from him. This is what I call having perspective!”
Cheng Xiaofu, unconvinced, loudly retorted, “Miao Xiuhua, Xiao Fan’s surname is Cheng. He is my son, Cheng Fugui, alright?”
Miao Xiuhua slammed the table abruptly and shouted, “Cheng Fugui, how dare you!”
“Dare to fight me for our son? He spent ten months in my belly, what about you?”
“Do you want to kneel on a washboard?”
“Xiao Fan, get me the washboard!”
In his childhood, his mother had often made Cheng Xiaofan do such things.
Back then, Cheng Xiaofan would be overjoyed every time he saw his dad kneeling on the washboard.
He would even fetch a bowl from the kitchen, fill it with water, and make his dad balance it on his head.
Cheng Fugui immediately caved when he heard he had to kneel on the washboard again.
He pleaded, “Son’s mom, I misspoke, alright?”
Cheng Xiaofan smiled. “Mom, I’m hungry. Is there anything to eat?”
Miao Xiuhua said with surprise, “Xiao Fan, are you going to eat here? Mom will make you food right away, I’ll make your favorite stewed pig trotters!”
In less than an hour, Miao Xiuhua brought out a basin of stewed pig trotters.
There was also fried eggs with onion and stir-fried dried tofu with green peppers, which Cheng Xiaofan had loved since he was a child.
The three of them ate lunch harmoniously.
After eating their fill, Cheng Xiaofan patted his belly and smiled, “Mom, I have something to do in the back mountain, so I’ll be leaving now!”
Miao Xiuhua smiled. “Okay, son, go ahead and do what you need to do!”
Cheng Xiaofan bid farewell to his dad again, then got on his motorcycle and headed towards the back mountain.
After Cheng Xiaofan left, Cheng Fugui couldn’t help but sigh, “My son, just like me, is a hardworking soul. I’ve never seen him relax.”
Miao Xiuhua glared at him. “My son is a man of great deeds. How can he be like you?”
“If it weren’t for Xiao Fan returning to Zhuxi Village, you wouldn’t even have a decent meal to eat to this day!”
Cheng Fugui immediately fell silent upon hearing this.
He didn’t dare to utter another word.
…
Cheng Xiaofan arrived at the back mountain and immediately entered his space.
Nu Xi saw Cheng Xiaofan and said happily, “Mr. Cheng, you’re here!”
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and smiled. “Yes, I came in this time to assemble the golden house that the Midget Country gave me.”
“And to build two beds. When you come out, you can live in the golden house.”
Nu Xi smiled. “Isn’t that too extravagant?”
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled. “What’s extravagant about it? Since they gave us a golden house, someone has to live in it. We can’t just let it sit there, on display for the air!”
Nu Xi smiled. “Mmm-hmm, you seem to have a point!”
Cheng Xiaofan immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and a giant vortex appeared behind him.
The next moment!
The golden house components, stored in the space grid, flew out and plunged into the center of the vortex.
Assembling the golden house wasn’t as difficult as refining the Golden Pagoda. It was already built; it was only disassembled into parts for easy transportation.
Cheng Xiaofan only needed to put it together.
In less than half an hour, a super luxurious, classical golden villa appeared within the space.
It was a three-story golden house with flying eaves and ornate carvings, looking very beautiful.
In front, there was a courtyard wall built with golden bricks, carved with various fish, insects, birds, and flowers.
However, during the assembly process, Cheng Xiaofan had changed the name from “Golden Heavenly God Palace” to just “Golden Palace,” omitting the words “Heavenly God.”
He felt that the words “Heavenly God” were too ostentatious.
Then!
Cheng Xiaofan continued to sit cross-legged, using his mind to transport out over a dozen thick, petrified blood beech logs treasured in the space grid.
The continuously rotating vortex sucked the petrified blood beech logs into it with a whoosh.
In Cheng Xiaofan’s sea of consciousness, various furniture patterns immediately appeared.
Each piece of furniture came in a set of two, with various styles, and no two pieces were the same.
These pieces of furniture did not require any carvings of Heavenly Dao talismans.
This made it much simpler for Cheng Xiaofan to create them!
After more than two hours, he had finished making all the furniture and directly transported it into the golden house with his thoughts.
“Nu Xi, let’s go, I’ll take you to see the golden house!”
Cheng Xiaofan stood up from the ground, took Nu Xi’s hand, and said.
Nu Xi smiled like a blooming flower and nodded. “Okay, I’ll go with you to see it.”
If she were alone, she wouldn’t dare to venture into the golden house.
Even in Earth’s prehistoric era, gold was a highly valuable commodity and very rare at the time.
She had never seen anyone use gold to build a house.
She followed Cheng Xiaofan into the golden house and immediately noticed the tables, stools, and other furniture placed in the hall.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful!”
Nu Xi gently stroked the ruby-like furniture,
And asked excitedly, “This petrified blood beech wood is truly beautiful.”
“The patterns on it are like drifting auspicious clouds, incredibly beautiful!”
Cheng Xiaofan said, “This blood beech wood should be from Earth’s prehistoric era. Due to a great explosion in the universe, the Earth’s crust was shaken, and the blood beech wood was buried deep underground.”
“After hundreds of millions of years, due to the convergence and divergence of land and sea, it resurfaced. When it was dug out, it had already petrified!”
Nu Xi smiled. “This is the greatness of the Creator’s work!”
Cheng Xiaofan held her hand and smiled. “Let’s go upstairs and see.”
On the second floor, in a bedroom, Nu Xi found a bed made of petrified blood beech wood, along with a nightstand, a dressing table, and a wardrobe.
She jumped onto the bed, spun around, and did a pirouette.
She laughed happily, “It’s so beautiful, I love this bed so much!”
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily. “You love the bed, I love you. We each have our preferences!”
He also jumped onto the bed and pulled Nu Xi into his arms. “Nu Xi, give me a kiss!”
Nu Xi immediately gave him a kiss.
This kiss didn’t stop, and the two of them soon rolled around on the bed.
