Who in this world has ever seen a three-meter-long earthworm?
Yet, Cheng Xiaofan and Bai Yiling were seeing one before their eyes. This earthworm wasn't just over three meters long and plump, but it moved with incredible speed, no slower than a burrowing mouse.
Did I lose my sight, is that really an earthworm?
Cheng Xiaofan inwardly grumbled, but he had to admit, it was an Earthworm King!
How could a regular earthworm grow like this?
"Are you the Earthworm King?"
Cheng Xiaofan asked the earthworm.
However, the earthworm completely ignored Cheng Xiaofan's question, incessantly wriggling its body and rolling on the ground.
"Squeak squeak!"
Master, this Earthworm King doesn't understand human language.
One of the burrowing mice said to Cheng Xiaofan, it could only communicate with their own kind, and not with any other creature.
If you have anything to tell the Earthworm King, just tell us burrowing mice.
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but pat his head, how embarrassing!
This earthworm basically had no intelligence, how could he, a human, possibly communicate with it!
"Burrowing mice, I have nothing special to tell. I'll leave the matter of improving the soil here to you burrowing mice to urge the earthworms to do!"
Cheng Xiaofan waved his hand and said.
"Squeak squeak!"
Master, don't worry, leave this to us burrowing mice!
You and the beautiful lady can chat, we'll take our leave now!
The burrowing mice led the Earthworm King and, in the blink of an eye, burrowed into the ground.
Clearly, the burrowing mice had already started assigning tasks to the Earthworm King.
"I never imagined that in this primeval forest of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, such a giant Earthworm King would still exist!" Bai Yiling seemed to have just snapped back to reality, exclaiming.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "When I first saw the Earthworm King, I almost couldn't believe my eyes."
"It seems the world is truly full of wonders. I wonder what other magical animals haven't appeared in this primeval forest!"
Bai Yiling teased, "This is your territory anyway, no matter how magical an animal appears, it will eventually submit to you!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "I hope so!"
Ring ring ring!
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang.
He took it out and saw that it was Xianyu He calling.
As soon as Cheng Xiaofan pressed the answer button, Xianyu He's warm voice came from the phone: "Heh heh, Xiaofan, the World Famous Wine Auction is the day after tomorrow. Can you arrive two days in advance?"
"Xu Minghui and his friend Liu Tingshu will arrive here tomorrow afternoon!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan knew very well that Xianyu He was eager for him to arrive early because he was waiting for him to treat his daughter.
He understood a father's feelings.
His first daughter was harmed, and he didn't want to lose another daughter.
Besides, he had already accepted one hundred million from Xianyu He, so there was no reason to postpone the date.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Mr. Xianyu, I'll do as you say. I can arrive in Haicheng tomorrow morning. I'll call you when I get there!"
Xianyu He was excited to hear this and said, "Xiaofan, I won't say much thank you over the phone. Let's talk when we meet!"
"Okay, then let's talk when we meet!"
Just as Cheng Xiaofan was about to hang up, Xianyu He immediately said, "Oh, right, Xiaofan, please invite Miss Yiling to come to Haicheng to play as well!"
"Alright, Mr. Xianyu, I'll come with Yiling tomorrow!"
After the call ended, Bai Yiling said, "Xiaofan, Mr. Xianyu invited us to Haicheng tomorrow?"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "Yes, she has a daughter named Xianyu Yan who has been lying in bed as a vegetative state for over a year, waiting for me to save her."
"Regardless, my first impression of Xianyu He was very good. Let's head to Haicheng tomorrow morning!"
"Okay, then we'll be back before noon. I still need to go to the construction site and handle some matters!" Bai Yiling said.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "You have your cousin Han Jie, and the two capable beauties Fu Yueli and Gu Jingyue at the construction site. What else are you worried about?"
Bai Yiling smiled, "Let alone the three of them, even the construction team leaders who came with us this time are people I usually rely on. There's nothing to worry about."
"It's just that there are some matters I must personally handle, it has nothing to do with whether I trust someone or not!"
In fact, Cheng Xiaofan also knew that Bai Yiling's rise to become a top star in the business world at such a young age in C City was not only related to her ability to utilize people but also significantly to her meticulousness in her work.
"Alright, let's go back later!" Cheng Xiaofan said.
The two walked out of the pavilion and came to the foot of the mountain. They found a dense cluster of earthworms, led by the Earthworm King, winding their way from the nearby mountain forest and gradually burrowing into the first level of terraced fields.
The burrowing mice were overseeing the operation nearby.
It was the first time Cheng Xiaofan and Bai Yiling had witnessed such a grand formation of earthworms.
They were covered in thick mucus, emitting a fishy smell in the air, mixed with a particularly heavy earthy aroma.
The mucus from the earthworms had strong corrosive properties and played a crucial role in enhancing the fertility of the soil.
The soil in the terraced fields was originally dry and compacted, but as these vast numbers of earthworms burrowed into the soil, the soil became moist and loose at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing what was before them, Cheng Xiaofan nodded with satisfaction. After returning from Haicheng, the soil quality of the terraced mountain would likely be significantly improved.
At that time, if he were to shower it with a spiritual rain, this terraced mountain would become a true treasure mountain.
It was estimated that even a laundry stick stuck here would sprout a patch of green buds.
"Chirp—"
Upon receiving a spiritual sensation, the Sky-Breaking Eagle immediately flew to Cheng Xiaofan's side.
"Woof woof!"
After Cheng Xiaofan and Bai Yiling got on the Sky-Breaking Eagle, Naughty Bag also sat on a white swan, leading the other nine white swans, and they soared into the sky ahead of them.
In fact, even Cheng Xiaofan couldn't give them a precise name for these ten ordinary geese that had evolved into standard white swans.
Because ordinary white swans didn't possess such formidable carrying capacity, especially since these white swans' feet could exhibit grappling claws under special circumstances.
These elegantly noble-looking white swans, once in combat mode, would likely be formidable opponents for most fierce wild beasts.
"Xiaofan, when we reach the back mountain, drop me off at the construction site directly!"
As they approached the back mountain, Bai Yiling said to Cheng Xiaofan, "I'll eat lunch at the construction site today. Tell Mom when you get home!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "No problem!"
As they neared the temporary office of the construction site, he immediately had the Sky-Breaking Eagle descend.
"Manager Bai, Xiaofan, you're here!" Fu Yueli happened to be coming out of the office and, upon seeing them, hurried over.
The construction workers were already accustomed to seeing Cheng Xiaofan and Bai Yiling flying in the sky on the Sky-Breaking Eagle, so they were not surprised.
Bai Yiling smiled at Fu Yueli and said, "I'm going on a long trip tomorrow and won't be back for a few days, so I need to check on the construction site this afternoon."
Seeing Bai Yiling and Fu Yueli chatting, Cheng Xiaofan waved to them and said with a smile, "You guys be busy, I'm heading back now!"
