Wang Xiaoqiang didn't engage much with Aunt Big Mouth. Instead, he headed straight for the village, first visiting the old house where his parents, Wang Kuishan and his mother, were still up, watching TV. To see their son return suddenly surprised them greatly, prompting a warm flurry of questions about his well-being. His mother even had the housekeeper start cooking since Wang Xiaoqiang was indeed hungry, and he didn't stop her.

With the housekeeper off to the kitchen to cook, and his mother joining in to help, Wang Xiaoqiang quietly pinched a magic spell, casting an amulet onto his father's body stealthily.

After the talisman paper was cast, it transformed into a ghostly "Protect" character with Wang Xiaoqiang's hand movements and attached itself to his father. Soon, it disappeared—truly a mysterious item from the Immortal Realm.

Then, Wang Xiaoqiang stood up and went to the yard, calling his mother out to ask about recent family affairs while casting another amulet on her. Afterward, he went to the kitchen alone, where the housekeeper, a distant relative and his cousin by marriage, was busy cooking. Since joining Wang Xiaoqiang's household, she had been diligent and caring towards his elderly parents. Considering this, Wang Xiaoqiang decided to cast a protective amulet on her too.

After completing these tasks, Wang Xiaoqiang quietly sighed in relief, ate his meal, and then headed towards the villa.

At the villa, Xia Guifang and her son hadn't gone to bed yet and were quite surprised to see Wang Xiaoqiang return so unexpectedly. The little guy wasn't upset at all; he ran into his arms calling out "Daddy." Wang Xiaoqiang kissed Little Bao on the cheek and stealthily cast a protective amulet on him as well, and later on Xia Guifang before they went to sleep.

Xia Guifang's figure had completely recovered. Despite having had a child, her skin remained as smooth and soft as a young girl's, fair and delicate like peeled corn, oozing with moisture when pinched.

The next day, Wang Xiaoqiang first went to the Chicken Farm where he cast a protective amulet on Li Xianghong, which led her to tease him yet again.

It was the early autumn season, not too cold, and the two revisited their usual spot at the intersection of Great Green Mountain and Mantou Mountain. As they approached the entrance of the crevice, it seemed like some animal had messed up the place, making them both frown. Suddenly, Wang Xiaoqiang had an idea that made Li Xianghong a bit nervous...

"Honghong, don't worry, I assure you, you'll be fine..." said Wang Xiaoqiang. Then he summoned the Spiritual Spring to manifest into the Spiritual Spring Flying Boat, which lifted their bodies into mid-air. Li Xianghong felt as though she was on a rising air cushion, soon finding themselves high up in the sky...

Next, Wang Xiaoqiang went to the breeding factory and cast a protective amulet on Zheng Shuang. Through Zheng Shuang, he got in touch with Feng Xiaoyu and cast a protective amulet on her as well.

Then, Wang Xiaoqiang went to River City to cast a protective amulet on Qiao Hui, and he also indulged in some of her wild tendencies.

After that, Wang Xiaoqiang went to Guangzhou and cast a protective amulet on his brother, Wang Dali. Since Wang Xiaoqiang had helped him eliminate his competitors, Wang Dali's real estate business had taken over the whole of Guangzhou, with its domain still expanding.

Later, Wang Xiaoqiang went from Guangzhou to Hong Kong, where he cast protective amulets on Qiao Zhi and Liu Juyi.

By then, Huang Kunlun's influence had expanded across Hong Kong, making him the biggest boss there. Under his influence, the four women had successfully promoted Wang Xiaoqiang's agricultural products throughout Hong Kong.

Liu Juyi had grown accustomed to living in Hong Kong, learning a lot there. Immersed in her busy work schedule, she forgot her past worries. However, she still harbored feelings for Wang Xiaoqiang. In truth, she alone knew why she had come to Hong Kong—it was to be with Wang Xiaoqiang, even if just as friends. Unfortunately, he was too busy, and she rarely saw him.

Then, Wang Xiaoqiang left the country for the United States, where he cast protective amulets on Jiang Xiaoxin and Mikoer, staying for a few days. During his stay, as he and Jiang Xiaoxin were intimately involved, she didn't take any contraception, hoping to have a child with Wang Xiaoqiang, who didn't refuse.

After that, Wang Xiaoqiang went to see Zhong Ping, casting a protective amulet on her and her son. Zhong Ping had named her son Wang Pengcheng, which means 'the roc spreading its wings'. She asked Wang Xiaoqiang if he liked the name, to which he gave no objections.

Then, Wang Xiaoqiang arrived in Australia, casting protective amulets on Little Xu Xiaoya and Zheng Ru. Little Xu Xiaoya's pregnancy was showing, and it seemed she would give birth by the next spring. He also cast amulets on Jenny and Xia.

Finally, Wang Xiaoqiang traveled to Thailand, casting a protective amulet on Xu Qingxue, whose pregnancy was also beginning to show. It looked like she would be due next summer.

For two days, Wang Xiaoqiang had been busy delivering amulets; fortunately, he had the Spirit Spring Flying Boat, which allowed him to come and go freely.

If he were an ordinary person, traveling between several countries, he probably wouldn't have finished delivering the amulets within a week.

After distributing the amulets, Wang Xiaoqiang stayed in Italy for a few days because Jing Xueyan wanted to have a child with him. Wang Xiaoqiang didn't refuse. He thought that his future path would be cultivation, and worldly possessions like his vineyard in Italy needed someone to manage them. Indeed, he had a son, but his son didn't have the Five Elements Spirit Spring and lacked his abilities. Given his significant assets, having more children was necessary. Since Jing Xueyan was willing to bear his child, how could he possibly refuse?

Over the past few days, Wang Xiaoqiang had taken Jing Xueyan around the grape vineyard, and of course, they hadn't forgotten about the important task of conceiving a child. One day, Daisy also came to Wang Xiaoqiang, wanting to bear him a child as well. Wang Xiaoqiang didn't refuse. After all, the more sons, the better.

After leaving the Taiyi Sect for over half a month, Wang Xiaoqiang received a summoning order from the Taiyi Sect. It was a major competition, and all disciples were required to return to the sect.

Concerning the matter of killing three members of the Crown Prince Faction, Wang Xiaoqiang was also somewhat apprehensive. Before returning to the Taiyi Sect, he used the Message Jade Slip to communicate with Ye Qingcheng, asking if anything significant had happened within the Taiyi Sect.

"There's no major issue," Ye Qingcheng said, "just that three members of the Crown Prince Faction died at the edge of the Land of Sacred Emptiness. The cause of death is unclear. However, the incident didn't occur inside the Taiyi Sect, so the several vice sect leaders and the sect ancestor, True Person of Taiyi, didn't investigate the matter further..."

"Uh, did they suspect it was me?" he asked.

"Little Qiang, you didn't actually do this, did you?" she queried.

"Who else could it be but me?" Wang Xiaoqiang said.

Ye Qingcheng was so shocked she couldn't speak for a long time. Knowing that Jiangg Yulong was at the Mid Golden Core Stage and had also been killed by Wang Xiaoqiang, it meant that Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base was definitely more than just the Golden Core.

"No worries, Little Qiang, just come back," Ye Qingcheng finally reassured him after recovering her composure.

"Okay," Wang Xiaoqiang agreed, seeing that there seemed to be no issues. He trusted Ye Qingcheng wouldn't deceive him.

Wang Xiaoqiang piloted the flying boat, returning to the Taiyi Sect that evening. He first went to the Deacon Hall to report his return. When he arrived at the Deacon Hall, it was still the same two administrators as before. Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly enter, both administrators felt a chilling sensation, aware of no one else about the death of the three members of the Crown Prince Faction. Wang Xiaoqiang had just asked for leave to go out right before the three members of the Crown Prince Faction also requested leave in haste. Linking these events together, it wasn't hard to guess the deaths were related to Wang Xiaoqiang, and he was very likely responsible.

Having killed three people, including the leader of the Crown Prince Faction, Jiangg Yulong, who was a Mid Golden Core Stage cultivator — how formidable must Wang Xiaoqiang be?

Seeing the two administrators staring at him warily, so frightened they hardly dared to breathe, Wang Xiaoqiang curiously said, "Gentlemen, what's the matter?"

"Uh, Daoist Friend Wang, you're here to report... your return?" one administrator hurriedly flipped through the book to process Wang Xiaoqiang's return.

After reporting his return, Wang Xiaoqiang turned and left, heading towards the villa he was renting.

Ye Qingcheng stood on the balcony on the second floor of the villa, watching from afar. Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's figure, she leaned on the railing, flipped over, and jumped down from the balcony directly. From the second floor to the first floor was a height of five to six meters, which ordinary people wouldn't dare to jump from, but for cultivators, it was a piece of cake! (To be continued.
