"But this is still one of my biggest secrets, so you all have to keep it confidential just like last ti when we encountered the humanoid nine-tailed fox and the White Phosphorus Serpent Demon. Understand?"
Everyone nodded their heads. Tang Xian wasn't worried about the loyalty among his teammates. Throughout these days, whether it was Dong Ran or Qiao Shanshan, the level of frankness and fondness had been within a safe range, which was why he felt comfortable sharing this today.
Then Tang Xian began to describe how he t Qing JiuYu and Bai Mansheng, and he also ntioned another one of his abilities.
"I can hear the words of boss-level beings. And they can understand my responses as well. This is why I beca friends with the little fox and little white snake."
After his explanation, Dong Ran and Qiao Shanshan finally understood the many questions they had previously.
The group also cleverly guessed the true identity of Tang Xiaojiu.
But no one voiced it out loud.
Tang Xian saw this and understood everything in his heart.
He didn't ntion the unique talent he saw. Regarding that matter, Tang Xian had no plans to tell anyone.
He was subtly instilling a new concept in his teammates.
People without talent might not be unable to awaken abilities.
Because of their trust in Tang Xian, everyone accepted this assertion.
As for his strength displayed in the Pyramid and the evolutionary zone, Tang Xian directly used the evolutionary zone's concept of synchronization rate.
Akasi accepted it easily as well.
So things were not about deceiving his teammates, but rather that Tang Xian hadn't completely figured them out himself yet.
What he could do was to make his teammates have a roughly accurate assessnt of his strength.
It also established the combat and problem-solving style of the Sheng Tang Squad for the future.
For instance, when facing boss beings, fighting wasn't always necessary. Cooperating with Tang, the Shadow Emperor, in acting might bring unexpected rewards.
...
...
Previously, due to the destruction caused by the Sky Guardian Fortress Hunter's Group, the Hundred-Handed Wood outside the wooden house broke, and the fence was also damaged.
The very next morning after Tang Xian returned, he urged the hardworking model Dong Ran to repair and build the treehouse courtyard.
Dong Ran was very reasonable and incredibly diligent. With Tang Suoye's telekinetic assistance, the work beca incredibly simple.
They even added several more rooms to the wooden house.
Each person now had their own private room.
Tang Xian inquired with Qiao Shanshan about the reason Tang Suoye couldn't speak.
Qiao Shanshan explained that Tang Suoye's language nerves had changed.
This was the result of erosion by the blood serum of a calamity beast, but the erosion had stopped.
Whether it might mutate again in the future or improve was still unknown.
This was a complex dical condition that was irreversible by current human dical science.
Tang Xian nodded.
So things cannot be forced.
By noon, Dong Ran and Tang Suoye had almost doubled the size of the treehouse, giving it quite the fortress-like appearance.
To reward them for their great achievents, Tang Xian also took a few of the tastiest Dragon Spine fish from the small pond.
Afterward, he went to check Tang Bingxiang's storage and discovered that all the at in the ice cellar was gone.
Just as Tang Xian was feeling sowhat regretful, Qing JiuYu ca to visit.
Bringing with her the at of a Mountain Taming Beast.
Although Dong Ran and the others were still very frightened of Qing JiuYu, even Tang Suoye felt afraid.
But they had already shared a al together before, so they were all much calr than last ti.
Tang Xian should have felt very happy, but the scent in the air made it hard for him to feel joyful.
Because, inconveniently, Bai Mansheng had also arrived.
The two formidable won, one from the due north and the other from the northwest.
Tang Xian guessed that they had sensed each other from a certain distance.
But neither of them stopped their steps or acknowledged the other.
Qing JiuYu's pace was nevertheless much faster.
She arrived first.
Upon seeing Qing JiuYu, Tang Xiaojiu happily threw herself at her.
Especially upon seeing the at wrapped with hemp twine that Qing JiuYu had brought.
This was a technique Tang Xian had taught her, where the best pieces of at with an even distribution of fat and lean, were typically tied into neat, square bundles with hemp twine.
Tang Xian remained calm. He had bluffed his way through a dangerous situation like the one before, so the heavens probably wouldn't play him again with an even tougher deadly question.
With that thought, he asked:
"How co you're here?"
"The distance between the wilderness and the forest ocean isn't far for . I felt like eating at, so I ca over," she replied.
Tang Xian took the mutton that Qing JiuYu handed him.
"Let's get one thing clear, this mutton is mine," he blurted out without any context.
Qing JiuYu responded:
"Fine then, if you say it's yours, then it's yours."
Qing JiuYu didn't quite understand what was going on, and Tang Xian said nothing.
At this ti, Bai Mansheng also arrived.
Bai Mansheng's arrival wasn't for the sake of eating at.
It was because that damn Tang Xian had, yet again, cut the story off at the most captivating part!
"Different from Qing JiuYu, Bai Mansheng appeared furious.
How could the world tolerate such a story-cutting cur?
Carrying the discs that Tang Xian had given her, Bai Mansheng even ignored Qing JiuYu and demanded,
"Xu Xian, co out here!"
Tang Xian obediently ca out, looking at Bai Mansheng with a puzzled face.
"What's the matter? Could it be that the player is broken? It shouldn't be, even though it's an antique, I made sure to buy the real deal."
Tang Xian feigned ignorance as he spoke.
Qing JiuYu was also curious, Bai Mansheng had called for Xu Xian, and she rembered that this white snake treated Xu Xian much better than Tang Xian.
Dong Ran, Qiao Shanshan, Tang Suoye, Akasi, and others all went back to their own cabins, showing no intention of coming out.
Compared to the fearful expressions they had last ti, everyone seed to be relishing the excitent after Tang Xian's explanation the night before.
"I'm asking you, these stories were clearly almost over, so why did they cut off right at the crucial part again?"
Bai Mansheng managed to restrain her temper. Qing JiuYu beca even more curious about what Bai Mansheng was holding in her hands.
Tang Xian spread his hands and explained,
"These stories are actually rchandise, and all rchandise experiences tis of abundance and shortage. What I gave you is top-quality stuff, not the kind that you can finish in one go. The last ti I gave you stories, those authors were still writing them. You ca at just the right mont this ti; I've just received the endings."
As Tang Xian spoke, he went inside the cabin and rummaged underneath the wooden bed for those discs.
He ca out holding the discs and nonchalantly said,
"Your timing is impeccable, I just got them this morning and was thinking about when to deliver them to you."
Bai Mansheng's expression eased slightly as she took the discs from Tang Xian's hands and asked,
"You're not deceiving , right? This ti it's really complete, right?"
"Of course, I guarantee they are finished."
"Okay then."
The two won in the cabin shook their heads in unison, feeling sowhat sorry for Bai Mansheng.
Because of those stories, they too had listened to the audio content found in the cabin during their free ti.
The stories were indeed concluded.
But those authors had written open-ended conclusions, leaving them half-told.
So even ended abruptly, leaving the listener infuriated.
After Bai Mansheng got the discs, she didn't leave but just stood there quietly, glancing at Qing JiuYu.
Tang Xian instinctively wanted to frown, but his actor's nature allowed him to calmly suggest,
"Since you're here, why not have a al before you leave?"
"Sure."
Bai Mansheng didn't refuse at all.
Qing JiuYu was about to have an outburst, as it was her at, after all. Why should she give it to this white snake to eat?
Just as she was about to erupt, the words on her lips, she rembered Tang Xian had just said that this at should be accounted as his, Tang Xian's.
Thinking of this, Qing JiuYu laughed angrily.
Tsk tsk, this white snake hadn't even arrived yet, and he was already worrying about soone else, plotting against .
With a twinkle in her beautiful eyes, Qing JiuYu chuckled and said,
"Miss Bai is holding so interesting things; Tang Xian, why don't you get a set for too?"
Tang Xian didn't pay much attention as he responded,
"Sure, I'll arrange so for you later."
"These should be items from the human world, right?"
Tang Xian suddenly realized sothing and shook his head as he said,
"They were taken from soone else."
"Didn't I hear you just now saying you bought them? Have you been to the human world?"
Tang Xian remained silent.
Qing JiuYu then pinched Tang Xiaojiu's face and asked, "Xiao Ni, tell Qing, is the human world fun?"
"It's fun, yeah, but the food isn't tasty." Tang Xiaojiu replied without thinking.
This was bad.
Tang Xian frowned.
He anticipated that things might really develop in so unpredictable direction now.
Bai Mansheng also realized sothing.
She said,
"You've been to the human world? Do you know how to get there? I'm worried you'll give more half-finished stories, so why don't you just take to the human world instead?"
"Hehe, I'd like to take a look too," said Qing JiuYu.
