Uh, the Spiritual Spring has split again!

Wang Xiaoqiang thought to himself excitedly as, with a mere thought, he absorbed all sixty-four droplets of the Spiritual Spring into his body. The surging Spiritual Energy inside him rolled and crashed like a tsunami, wildly violent to the extreme.

His aura spread out, forming an invisible oppression that caused Little Bai to retreat three steps and kneel in front of Wang Xiaoqiang. Mozaren, too, gasped for air under the overwhelming pressure that hit him in the face. He couldn't help showing a look of surprise and, when he covertly probed with his Divine Sense, he discovered that the amount of Spiritual Energy inside Wang Xiaoqiang had doubled since before.

Frightened, he hurriedly retracted his Divine Sense and bowed his head.

Wang Xiaoqiang felt his strength and confidence reach new heights. He felt light as a feather, as if he was about to ascend to the heavens. In his elation, he waved his hand at Mozaren and said, "Alright, Mozaren, you can beat it. If you try any more tricks in the future, I will destroy both your body and spirit without mercy..."

"Yes, this servant dares not!" Mozaren trembled, replying obsequiously. As he stood to leave, he heard Wang Xiaoqiang say, "Remember to take your arm with you..."

"Yes, I will take it now." Mozaren bent down to pick up the arm that Wang Xiaoqiang had severed, filled with a wave of sorrow.

His figure flashed and, like a ghost, he departed into the distance, vanishing into the night.

Wang Xiaoqiang used Fire Element Spiritual Energy, Water Element Spiritual Qi, and Earth Element Spiritual Qi to dispose of the two Little Wizards' corpses. Only then did he return to the villa to check on Jiang Xiaoxin.

Jiang Xiaoxin had been frightened, but since she was braver than most girls, there was no serious harm. At the moment, she was curled up on the bed, only worried about Wang Xiaoqiang. She feared those three detestable and terrifying people might harm Wang Xiaoqiang.

When Wang Xiaoqiang entered her bedroom, Jiang Xiaoxin threw herself into his arms and started crying. The tension in her heart finally eased, and Wang Xiaoqiang let her cry in his arms for a while before comforting her.

"Brother Qiang, who are they? Why are they after you?"

"They are business rivals, but I have already sent them packing. Don't worry, they won't come back again..."

"Brother Qiang, I was so worried about you just now..."

"Little Xin, you weren't hurt, were you?"

"No, they just tied me up and didn't do anything to me..." Jiang Xiaoxin said, and then emphasized again, "Brother Qiang, you have to believe me, they really didn't do anything, I am still the same Little Xin... pure and clean..."

"Little Xin, I believe you, of course, I believe you..." Wang Xiaoqiang hugged Jiang Xiaoxin tightly.

Although Wang Xiaoqiang repeatedly assured her of his trust, Jiang Xiaoxin insisted, "Qiang, I want to prove it to you, I want you to verify it for yourself..."

As she spoke, Jiang Xiaoxin left Wang Xiaoqiang's embrace and removed her dress,

Though not yet twenty, Jiang Xiaoxin had developed quite maturely.

Wang Xiaoqiang was dumbstruck!

"Little Xin, don't do this, I really believe you..." Wang Xiaoqiang grabbed the dress to put it back on her,

but Jiang Xiaoxin pounced forward, "Brother Qiang, I need to let you know, Little Xin is pure. Please verify it, okay?"

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't want to verify, but now he had to.

The result of the verification was that Jiang Xiaoxin was indeed untouched, the specks of rose petals on the bedsheet proved everything.

"Qiang, don't worry, Little Xin doesn't need you to take responsibility. What you've given to someone is already enough. In fact, even if you gave nothing, someone wouldn't have any complaints. Do you remember the time in junior high, when you cycled with me? I thought then that I wanted to marry you in the future. Even if I couldn't marry you, I still wanted to be your woman..."

"Little Xin, you're so silly!"

"It's rare to be confused in life, Little Xin is willing to be foolish. Little Xin is willing to love you like this, foolishly..."

"Little Xin, why don't you come home for the Spring Festival this year?"

"Qiang, I'm needed here, I won't be going back," Jiang Xiaoxin said sensibly.

"Hmm, then send more money home," said Wang Xiaoqiang. "Tomorrow I'll transfer another million to your account."

Now, a million yuan, for Wang Xiaoqiang, was like ten yuan to an average wage earner, an exaggeration that was almost playful.

"Little Qiang, that one million you gave me last time, I sent eight hundred thousand to the family, which gave my parents quite the scare. They asked me where all the money came from and interrogated me over the phone for quite a while! So, I don't dare to send money home anymore... I'm afraid it will frighten my parents, and I'm afraid they'll question me again..."

"Hehe..." Wang Xiaoqiang laughed, "Little Xin, you could have said that you earned it with your intelligence and hard work. After all, it's the reward you deserve..."

"Little Qiang, I haven't even been working for a year, how could I earn that much... It's all because of your care for me..." Little Xin earnestly replied.

"Speaking of care, we're only talking about life support. As for the money, your salary is earned fairly and squarely... You know I never skimp when it comes to paying the workers. Those who perform well and use their brains get paid more, while those who are lazy and do not seek progress receive their due, but they won't see much advancement..."

"Mm, that's true. I've noticed that not all of the regular workers earn the same." As the accountant for Bordeaux Farm, Dolly Farm, and Bessie Farm, Jiangg Xiaoxin was well aware of the workers' salaries. Indeed, what Wang Xiaoqiang said was true, but she always felt that he was looking after her.

"So, Little Xin, your salary will increase too. Starting from next year, you'll be earning one million a month..."

"What, Little Qiang, am I hearing things? A monthly salary of one million, wouldn't that mean my annual salary is over ten million..."

"Of course." Wang Xiaoqiang said.

An annual salary of ten million was something graduates in his home country couldn't even dream about, and Jiangg Xin was about to achieve it.

With the Chinese New Year around the corner, Wang Xiaoqiang planned to return home to celebrate. After all, what's the point of earning so much money if not to enjoy life? His son was born this year, so he had to go home and host a few tables to celebrate in style.

In the United States, having put the farm affairs in order, Wang Xiaoqiang asked Little Bai to stay close to Jiangg Xiaoxin to protect her at all times.

Zhong Ping couldn't return home because she was pregnant, so Wang Xiaoqiang bought her many valuable supplements and took the opportunity to nourish her pregnancy with Spiritual Energy as well.

Zhong Ping displayed a reluctant and slightly resentful demeanor towards Wang Xiaoqiang, as he hadn't spent much time with her since her pregnancy began. Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang decided to stay with Zhong Ping for a few days to keep her company.

Finally, ten days before the Chinese New Year, Wang Xiaoqiang flew back to his motherland.

The first thing he did upon returning home was to visit his son at the old family villa.

The two elders and Xia Guifang were not accustomed to the Riverside Villa in the Provincial Capital, so they had moved back to the old home.

His son had not yet been given a formal name, waiting for Wang Xiaoqiang to decide. His nickname, however, had been chosen; they called him Little Bao. Although only five months old, he appeared to be the size of a one-year-old, with a chubby face and a cute, robust look. He could walk already and knew how to call 'mommy'.

Little Bao's rapid development caught Xia Guifang's attention. After several hospital visits, doctors found nothing wrong and, despite their surprise at the size of the five-month-old child, affirmed his health.

Only Wang Xiaoqiang knew the real reason, because Xia Guifang had been infused with Spiritual Energy during her pregnancy. Naturally, the child had benefited from the nourishment of Spiritual Energy, which made him grow strong and fast. Such a growth rate was normal for him; it would be abnormal if it were otherwise.

"Little Bao, call me daddy!" Wang Xiaoqiang knelt in front of his son, holding a lollipop in his left hand and pinching the little guy's chubby cheek with his right. "Call me daddy, and I'll give you the lollipop..."

The little guy did not call out, instead reaching for the lollipop. Wang Xiaoqiang withdrew his hand, "No call, no lollipop."

The little boy was neither annoyed nor did he cry, just squinting and smiling, making Wang Xiaoqiang lose face.

Suddenly, he felt a warm stream hit his chest. Looking down, he discovered the little guy had aimed his pee right at his chest.

"You little rascal…" Wang Xiaoqiang extended his hand to grab him, but the child, as if preempting this move, twisted away and ran off. When Wang Xiaoqiang gave chase, the little guy had already run into his mother's arms and giggled milkily.

Xia Guifang laughed too, coaxing her son, "That's your daddy, Little Bao, call him daddy..."

The little guy shook his head, refusing to call.

Wang Xiaoqiang was never one to admit defeat. If he set out to do something, he had to do it well, and yet here he was, bested by his son. Wet clothes forgotten, he peeled the lollipop and held it up to his son again, "Call me daddy, otherwise daddy will eat this candy..."

As he spoke, Wang Xiaoqiang brought the lollipop close to his son's mouth to tempt him.

Suddenly, the little guy snatched the lollipop and stuffed it into Wang Xiaoqiang's mouth. "Daddy… eat!"

Wang Xiaoqiang felt a mix of surprise and delight, the sweetness of the lollipop spreading from his mouth to his heart.

Xia Guifang burst into laughter, "Little Bao is already tired of snacks. Of course using a lollipop to coax him won't work. Go and pick some apples from the orchard for him to eat!" (To be continued.
