Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Find you a “Shi Xiong” (senior brother) – Part 1

Although Xu Yixue had some reservations about Xu Fan, she still held an immense trust in his mysterious and powerful abilities. Taking the inconspicuous-looking jade pendant, she said “Thank you” to Xu Fan, then opened the door and entered Ye Xiaoning’s room.

Watching Xu Yixue hurry into Ye Xiaoning’s room, it was now Xu Fan’s turn to be troubled.

Should he continue to stay over at Xu Yixue’s place tonight?

The night before last, at Tongtong’s insistent request, Xu Fan had stayed over, sleeping in Xu Yixue’s own room, while Xu Yixue, as today, slept in Ye Xiaoning’s room.

Today Xu Fan had similarly come to Xu Yixue’s home, but Xu Yixue had not given any indication about whether he should stay or go.

Xu Yixue was probably preoccupied with the potential hostile takeover of her company on the stock market and was preparing to pull an all-nighter with Ye Xiaoning. More likely, Xu Yixue had tacitly accepted Xu Fan’s stay but was too embarrassed to bring it up.

Since Xu Yixue wouldn’t say anything, there was no need for Xu Fan to ask. He picked up Tongtong and went back to Tongtong’s bedroom.

The little devil Tongtong, of course, wouldn’t let Xu Fan off easily. In Tongtong’s room, which resembled a fairy tale world, Xu Fan, holding Tongtong and sitting on her little bed, was once again coerced into storytelling before bedtime.

On the car ride, Tongtong had seemed sleepy from overeating, but once back in her room, she became incredibly energetic, her curious eyes eagerly fixed on Xu Fan.

With a pained expression, Xu Fan racked his brain for stories about the Five Directions Great Emperor for the little ancestor.

Many of his past life experiences, filled with bloodshed and conspiracy, were not suitable to share with an innocent child like Tongtong, so Xu Fan had to filter his own experiences and pick stories that were appropriate to tell her.

He talked for nearly an hour until the little princess, lulled by Xu Fan’s voice, drifted deeply into dreamland. Xu Fan then carefully took off her clothes and changed her into pajamas. He set up a Tranquilizing Formation in Tongtong’s room to keep her undisturbed in her dreams, then gently closed the door and left Tongtong’s room.

After coming out, Xu Fan released his Sea of Consciousness to sense the surroundings and discovered that Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning were still working hard in Ye Xiaoning’s room.

Xu Yixue, hugging her laptop, was gathering information that could potentially target her company. Ye Xiaoning, at some point, had printed out a thick stack of what Xu Fan saw as messy stock market trend charts and was flipping through them page by page, occasionally replying to WeChat messages as if trying to recruit more talent into Xu Yixue’s company as an emergency response team.

Seeing their determined efforts, it seemed certain they were planning to pull an all-nighter. Xu Fan smiled faintly, opened the main door of the house, and walked out of Xu Yixue’s home.

He hadn’t yet decided whether to stay at Xu Yixue’s place, but his two little brothers, Mo Luo Dan and Ben Ben, were still in the vicinity of Xu Yixue’s residential complex.

After leaving the house, Xu Fan didn’t take the elevator; instead, he headed to the emergency exit by the stairwell.

Living on the ninth floor, Xu Yixue would never take the stairs unless the elevator was out of service. For Xu Fan, however, taking the stairs was much faster than the elevator.

With a light step, Xu Fan leaped from between the gaps of the stairwell’s turning point and jumped down.

The gap was barely wide enough for two people, but it led straight to the lowest level, nearly thirty meters tall.

Xu Fan stretched out his body in mid-air and landed on the ground as lightly as a feather.

Upon landing, Xu Fan’s footsteps were incredibly light, not even stirring up a speck of dust.

After leaving the residential building, Xu Fan quickly made his way to the underground parking lot of the complex.

Because during the last visit to Xu Fan’s Star of Zhonghai home, Ben Ben had frightened Xu Yixue, Xu Fan, wanting to avoid repeating the same mistake, had arranged for it to cultivate alone in the car, so as to avoid angering Xu Yixue again.

Ben Ben, already well-versed in human nature, was obedient to Xu Fan’s instructions. Since the appearance of Xu Yixue, it mostly stayed hidden in the trunk to cultivate.

At this moment, within the trunk of Xu Fan’s car, Ben Ben was curled up into a fluffy ball, silently cultivating the Swallowing Moon Divine Technique that Xu Fan had taught it.

This Swallowing Moon Divine Technique, a mysterious skill Xu Fan had obtained in his previous life from a demon cultivator, was not suitable for the human physique but extraordinarily fitting for canine cultivation.

Upon reaching the peak level of this technique, that demon powerhouse could simply open his mouth and swallow a huge moon whole.

Ben Ben’s true form, like that of the demon powerhouse, was also canine, and although a trace of Qilin Bloodline was present in its body, that power had not yet been stimulated. Therefore, its cultivation of the Swallowing Moon Divine Technique was progressing much faster than the Kylin cultivation methods Xu Fan had previously taught it.

Xu Fan approached the car and opened the trunk; as the lid lifted, Ben Ben slowly opened its eyes. Seeing that its master Xu Fan had come, it bent its four legs and instantly jumped to Xu Fan’s side, wagging its tail in a very dog-like manner.

“How far have you progressed in the ‘Swallowing Moon Divine Skill’?” Xu Fan bent down and stroked Ben Ben’s white, soft fur.

“Woof Woof, this doggy is a genius among the canine star beings. I have already cultivated to the third realm,” Ben Ben excitedly barked, wagging its tail.

“The second level? Not bad, but you need to speed up,” Xu Fan nodded, generally satisfied with Ben Ben’s cultivation progress.

The Swallowing Moon Divine Skill was divided into ten levels, each representing a realm. By reaching the second realm, Ben Ben had already become equivalent to a Qi Drawing Realm expert of this planet.

However, each level of the Swallowing Moon Divine Skill was more difficult than the last, and although Ben Ben had quickly entered the second level, the time required to advance would only increase as it progressed.

“Since you’ve reached the Qi Drawing Realm too, I’ll find you someone who can be considered your senior brother. When you two have the time, you can spar together. It’s only through real combat that you can truly grow,” Xu Fan said somewhat sternly to Ben Ben at his feet.

“Woof Woof… Senior brother? Where is my senior brother?” Ben Ben eagerly pawed at the ground, looking at Xu Fan with curiosity. Clearly, Ben Ben, who had just been enlightened into a Spirit Beast by Xu Fan, had yet to meet any other martial artists besides Xu Fan.
