Chapter 234: A Visit on a Rainy Night

“You two, be good to Master Xixi. I’ve prepared soup, and you’ll both get your share.”
At that moment, Xixi stretched out his plump little paws and waved them at the void behind him, where two soul-like figures appeared—one black and one white. Both of these soul figures emitted intense spiritual energy, not the kind derived from superpowers, but natural spiritual energy from the world itself.
The two figures looked at Xixi with aggrieved expressions, emitting whining sounds from time to time.
“Mm, it’s ready…” Suddenly, Xixi’s eyes lit up. He staggered to his feet, using his agile hind legs to support himself, while his small front paws lifted the huge pot—dozens of times larger than his body—and brought it to his mouth. Then he opened his mouth wide and drank it all in one gulp.
“Mm… delicious. I wonder what kind of bird’s egg this is…” After finishing, Xixi burped, then rolled over and fell face up. His already round little belly became completely spherical. Moments later, a loud snoring sound came from his mouth. His four pairs of golden wings behind him also emitted a faint glow, enveloping his entire body.
The two soul entities that had been by his side also drifted into his body and disappeared.
“What did he eat? Such powerful life essence…”
Chen Xiao stared at Xixi, who was busy eating, and said uncertainly, “Is there any bird egg in the God Lord’s Space? Where did he get those eggs?”
Shui Miao shrugged and remained silent.
“Could it be…” Chen Xiao thought of a terrifying possibility. He blinked and looked at Xixi, who was fast asleep, with several broken black-and-white eggshells beside him. He realized he needed to cook Xixi right away.
“That’s right. He cooked the Black Tortoise Egg. All the essence from the Black Tortoise Egg has entered his body. Those black-and-white soul entities were the innate spiritual bodies you inserted earlier; now they belong to him as well.”
A hint of helplessness appeared in Shui Miao’s eyes. She had never taken any protective measures for the Black Tortoise Egg. This was the God Lord’s Space—was there any safer place? But today, Chen Xiao brought in such a troublemaker who simply cooked and ate the Black Tortoise Egg. At that time, Shui Miao was busy healing the injuries of the God Lord, Chai Yunke, and couldn’t divert her attention.
Chen Xiao swallowed hard and slowly flew over to the golden flesh ball.
“You’d better not move him now,” Shui Miao said, stopping Chen Xiao from doing something to Xixi. “His body is filled with terrifying power. If he doesn’t digest it properly, even the slightest movement could cause him to explode, and you might get severely injured too.”
Hearing Shui Miao’s words, Chen Xiao stepped back quickly. He glared at Xixi, who was still sleeping, but couldn’t do anything about it.

“Never mind, I’ll scold him when he wakes up… Hmm, hurry up and pack up everything else in the God Lord’s Space, otherwise he’ll go on binging again once he wakes up.”
Chen Xiao moved swiftly; in just an instant, he sealed away all the divine artifacts, divine essences, and other treasures he had hidden in the God Lord’s Space.
Finally, with another wave of his hand, a small golden cage was woven out of thin air, enclosing Xi Xi’s tiny body.
Seeing Chen Xiao’s carefulness, Shui Miao was speechless.
“Chen Xiao, this little guy’s race is extremely powerful,” Shui Miao said after waiting for Chen Xiao to finish everything.
“Extremely powerful?” Chen Xiao blinked.
“You know better than I do just how powerful the Black Tortoise essence is contained within that egg. Yet he swallowed the entire egg without being blown up by that essence,” Shui Miao said, slightly astonished.
Chen Xiao shook his head. “Don’t underestimate this guy. Back then, Shang Xie, along with 107 other Beast Gods, worked together to seal him. His strength is at least equivalent to that of 108 Second-Level Yuanling Gods. It’s completely normal for him to be able to withstand the Black Tortoise essence in an egg.”
As he spoke, Chen Xiao still felt a pang of pain—after all, the Black Tortoise could have become a God Lord. Such a splendid plan to create a God Lord had been ruined by this guy.
“Chen Xiao, haven’t you noticed? He’s still in his larval stage,” Shui Miao said with a smirk.
“Larval stage?! What a joke!” Chen Xiao jumped up immediately. “He was sealed five ten thousand years ago. After five ten thousand years, he’s still in larval stage? Can he single-handedly fight against 108 Second-Level Yuanling Gods just because he’s in larval stage?”
Shui Miao replied helplessly, “But according to his life cycle, this little guy is indeed still in larval stage.”
Chen Xiao was speechless. Suddenly, he said, “Hmm, the larval stage of Black Tortoises isn’t that long, right? Could it be he’s even stronger than Black Tortoises?”
“Hehehe… Since you ate my Black Tortoise, you owe me a cat as compensation.”
……
“Wan Hu, how’s the situation in the World of Superpowers these days?”
In the underground secret chamber of the Glory Temple, Chen Xiao asked Wan Hu alone.
Now, Wan Hu was in charge of investigating information for the Glory Temple’s secret chambers.
“Young master, with the opening of the Tianlong Secret Treasury, the Western Church seems to have grown significantly stronger, surpassing the Vampires. Both in the secular world and the World of Superpowers, the power of the Vampires is rapidly declining.”
By now, the Tianlong Secret Treasury had been closed, and Earth had returned to its usual peace. Those ordinary people, under the influence of some mysterious force, had forgotten what had happened before, as if they had just woken up the next morning.
“It seems those experts at the ninth level of the Church’s domain really gained a lot from the Tianlong Secret Treasury.”
Thinking of that blond man who rushed into the treasury alone, Chen Xiao couldn’t help frowning.

This time, the vampires suffered heavy losses. One of their virtual gods was directly devoured by the fierce spirits created from Cain’s essence, dealing them a severe blow. It seems they gained nothing from this encounter either, so it’s only fitting that they’re suppressed by the Church.

“What about the Huaxia Country? How has the Long family reacted?” Chen Xiao asked again.

“The Long family…” Wan Hu frowned slightly, hesitating as he said, “The Long family has offered a bounty of ten billion star coins in the ancient martial arts world and the world of supernatural abilities to capture the young master and the old master.”

“Ten billion star coins? The Long family is really stingy.” Chen Xiao curled his lips before adding, “In a while, inform Floating Cloud to post a bounty task at the Hunters’ Guild. Whoever kills a member of the Long family can receive one hundred million star coins for their head. Killing a Long family member who is above ordinary strength earns one billion star coins, killing one who is at the Origin Realm level earns ten billion, and killing one who possesses a domain can yield a small Origin Stone vein.”

Chen Xiao paused for a moment before showing a cold expression. “If anyone can destroy the Long family, I’ll give them ten large-quality Origin Stone veins.”

Chen Xiao had plundered the treasure chests of more than a dozen deities in the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasury. He now had so many star coins that he didn’t know where to spend them all.

Hearing Chen Xiao’s words, Wan Hu swallowed hard and nodded.

Wan Hu knew well that the Long family likely wouldn’t last much longer. However, the Long family had just reaped countless benefits from the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasury. Although not as much as Chen Xiao, their strength had increased significantly. Coupled with their thousands of years of heritage, they weren’t something that could be easily destroyed.

Chen Xiao exhaled. “Should we go visit the famous Sanye Family in the world of supernatural abilities now?”

Chen Jianzhou once said that to find his parents, he needed to rely on the three Fragmented Sky Maps held by the Sanye Family. Now that Chen Xiao’s strength was sufficient, it seemed he could set off at any time.

“Hmm, I’d better look for Yuye Xiaochen first and start with the Yuye Family.”

With that thought, Chen Xiao vanished from the world of supernatural abilities.

The secular world had regained order, as if nothing had happened. The daily lives of ordinary people hadn’t been disrupted. However, the number of supernatural beings in the secular world had nearly halved, as they had all died in the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasury.

Chen Xiao shook his head, feeling somewhat sentimental. Then he hailed a taxi and headed toward the headquarters of the Soul of Huaxia.

At this time, Yuye Xiaochen should still be at the headquarters of the Soul of Huaxia.

“Chen Xiao, every time we meet, you surprise me. Have you already reached the ninth level?” Yang Lin, with his red explosive hairstyle, was stunned upon seeing Chen Xiao.

“Hm? Can you tell I’m at the ninth level?” Yang Lin was only a third-level supernatural being, nothing but an ant in front of a ninth-level expert.

Although Chen Xiao had suppressed his strength to appear at the ninth level, it wasn’t something Yang Lin could discern.

“I don’t have such ability,” Yang Lin said with a smirk. “It’s no secret in the world of supernatural abilities that Chen Xiao defeated Chen Xuantong, an elder of the Chen family and a ninth-level expert, with just one move. If you can defeat a ninth-level expert in the secular world, you can’t be at the Origin Realm level—you must be a very powerful ninth-level expert.”

Yang Lin shook his head and analyzed things with a smug expression.
“Hmm, so that’s how it is… This news spreads really fast…” Chen Xiao nodded innocently and said, “Who knew that after practicing, I’d reach level nine?”
After the Chen family submitted, Chen Xiao declared that it was his own forces that attacked them, distancing himself from the Glory Temple.
“Enough, I won’t talk to you, pervert,” Yang Lin turned his face away.
“Chen Xiao, you’re here,” Yu Ye Xiao Chen pushed the door open and walked in with a smile, seemingly expecting Chen Xiao to arrive.
When Chen Xiao saw Yu Ye Xiao Chen, his pupils contracted slightly. Although Yu Ye Xiao Chen’s displayed strength was only at level five, Chen Xiao subconsciously refused to believe that the eldest son of the Yu Ye family and the head of the family, Yu Ye Linfeng, could be just a level-five supernatural being.
“Team leader, this time, I’d like to visit the Yu Ye family. Could you please introduce me?” Chen Xiao spoke bluntly.
