You Ruo felt the warmth on her ear, turned around and glared at Xiao Fan. Looking at the handprint on Xiao Fan's hand, she said, "You didn't get a single slap for nothing."
Xiao Fan didn't disturb You Ruo any further. Watching her continue dealing with the affairs of the snake people, Xiao Fan said, "Then I'll go check on those two little ones first."
After finishing my work, I would come home and report to my wife first, to let her know that I had finished my work, and then I would go to take care of the children.
"Go."
You Ruo glanced at Xiao Fan indifferently, then her gaze returned to the information about the snake people in her hand.
Xiao Fan nodded, and then his figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
As You Ruo sensed Xiao Fan's departure, her gaze shifted, a slight smile playing on her lips, before she continued with the matters at hand.
Xiao Fan left the palace where You Ruo was, sensed the location of the two little ones, and appeared in mid-air in the blink of an eye. His gaze fell down, and a helpless look appeared on Xiao Fan's forehead.
Below, in the dense forest, Kaijin, with the two little ones, landed directly in the clear lake water. Kaijin enjoyed the cleansing water, while the two little ones played happily in the water.
Xiao Qi'an was completely submerged in the water, his small body splashing and swimming towards where Kai Jin was resting, startling many fish.
On the other side, Xiao Lening was lying on a piece of driftwood, his chubby little hands splashing in the lake water, spinning around in place.
Xiao Fan watched the two little creatures in the water, his smile never fading. Meanwhile, on a treetop in the distance, Flower Snake stood, carefully observing their situation.
Any magical beasts or dangers that might threaten them were eliminated in their infancy by Flower Snake.
Seeing that the others were having a great time, Xiao Fan didn't appear. He just watched the situation below from mid-air, but his eyes were mostly on his two children.
"Shh!"
After a while, Kaijin soaked in the spring water for a bit, then turned to look at the two little creatures splashing in the lake beside him. He opened his mouth and spat out a stream of spring water that rushed towards the two little creatures.
The splashing waves made the two little ones frolic in the lake for a long time.
As Kaijin spewed out the spring water, the two little ones were like a small boat encountering a giant wave, constantly sinking and surfacing in the water.
"Cluck cluck..."
However, the two little ones didn't seem to be hurt at all. On the contrary, because of Kaijin's playfulness, they burst out with energy and splashed towards Kaijin's position in the water, laughing.
Xiao Qi'an went against the current and finally reached behind Kai Jin's buttocks. He stretched out his chubby little hands and reached out to grab Kai Jin's tail.
However, his speed was insufficient, and Kaijin dodged him every time.
On the other side, Xiao Lening, instead of getting close to Kaijin due to the impact of the waves, kept thrashing around and spinning in place.
"Shh!"
Just as the three little ones were having fun, Hua She'er's figure appeared in mid-air, reached out and grabbed Xiao Qi'an and Xiao Lening from the water, lifting them into the air.
As if she had anticipated this, Flower Snake took out two soft blankets from her storage ring, wrapped them in them, carefully wiped the water off their bodies, and then said, "That's about enough. Her Majesty the Queen won't allow them to stay submerged in water forever."
Upon hearing Hua She'er's words, Kai Jin, who was in the water, nodded. Purple flames appeared on his body, and all the water vapor on his body evaporated. With a slight flap of his wings, he floated into the air.
Hua She'er placed Xiao Qi'an and Xiao Lening on Kai Jin's back and carefully instructed, "This time, don't let them play in the mud pit again, or you'll probably get a beating too."
Upon hearing Hua She'er's words, Kai Jin nodded vigorously with his large head and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Sister Hua She'er, I will definitely keep an eye on them!"
Flower Snake nodded noncommittally upon hearing this, and then let them continue playing.
Xiao Fan, who had been observing from mid-air, no longer concealed his presence and appeared in mid-air, drawing everyone's attention.
"Uncle Xiao Fan."
Kaijin looked at Xiao Fan in mid-air, a smile spreading across his face. He moved closer to Xiao Fan and nuzzled him affectionately.
Xiao Fan looked at Kai Jin in front of him, reached out and rubbed Kai Jin's head. He didn't expect that Kai Jin, whom he had rescued in order to win over the Amethyst Winged Lion King, had grown to this extent.
"Alright, you can rest now. I'll take care of the others."
Xiao Fan turned around and looked at the flower snake behind him and spoke.
After hearing Xiao Fan's words, Hua She'er hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
After all, Xiao Fan's strength far surpasses hers by a great deal, and with him around, the safety of these little ones can definitely be guaranteed.
"Row!"
Seeing this, Hua She'er didn't stand on ceremony with Xiao Fan and nodded, saying, "Then I'll go back and report to Her Majesty the Queen."
As soon as she finished speaking, the flower snake didn't stop for a moment and sped away into the distance.
After Xiao Fan felt the flower snake go far away, he landed on Kai Jin's back, picked up Xiao Qi'an and Xiao Lening, one in each arm, and said, "Kai Jin, is there any place you usually want to go but dare not go? Come on, I'll take you to explore!"
The two little ones in Xiao Fan's arms had big smiles on their faces, patting Xiao Fan's face with their chubby little hands, which made him feel a surge of joy.
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Kai Jin, who was sitting below, showed an excited expression on his face. He roared in mid-air and then flew deeper into the Monster Mountain Range with Xiao Fan.
Along the way, the aura of the Amethyst Winged Lion King kept the magical beasts from acting recklessly, allowing Kaijin to fly past.
Some of the magical beasts stronger than Kaijin retreated to their own territories after Xiao Fan revealed a sliver of his strength, daring not to make any further moves.
Chapter 238 Huge Skeleton
Xiao Fan sat on Kai Jin's back, holding a small creature in one arm, his gaze following Kai Jin's every move as he looked into the distance.
Kaijin wasn't particularly fast, but in a place like the Monster Mountain Range, he quickly entered a deeper part of the mountain range.
And this is the location where Xiao Fan and the others discovered the place where Kai Jin mistakenly swallowed the blood essence of that eighth-tier magical beast.
"Ok?"
Xiao Fan looked around at his surroundings, his brows furrowing slightly. He had almost forgotten about Kai Jin devouring the blood essence of an eighth-tier magical beast. It wasn't until now, when Kai Jin brought him back to this place, that Xiao Fan remembered it.
He had examined it for a long time but hadn't noticed anything unusual. With his current strength, he naturally had nothing to worry about.
"This is it."
Kai Jin landed in front of the pool where Xiao Fan had first noticed something amiss. Looking at the deep pool ahead, which was constantly emitting cold air, his tone carried a hint of apprehension.
Ever since he noticed something unusual here, Kaijin has often come here when he is alone.
At first, the Lion King was worried about Kaijin's safety and didn't feel comfortable leaving him alone, so he carefully followed behind Kaijin. However, after a long time had passed and no accidents had occurred, the Lion King stopped worrying about it.
Kaijin was left to play around here.
Later, however, Kaijin noticed that the water in the icy pool seemed to have become much colder. At first, Kaijin didn't pay much attention to it, since he had inherited the Lion King's purple fire and didn't feel much of the cold water.
It wasn't until later, as the temperature of the pool water dropped lower and lower, that Kai Jin, even with the protection of the purple fire, was unable to stop the erosion of the cold air in the pool water, and he finally noticed the abnormality.
Then Kaijin also summoned the Lion King to check.
However, the Lion King was still strong enough to block the cold air in the pool, but after exploring the bottom of the cold pool for a long time, it still couldn't detect anything unusual. Moreover, it felt a sense of panic, as if it were a suppression from its bloodline, so it gave up the idea of continuing to explore.
Since then, the Lion King has not allowed Kaijin to come here again, mainly because he is worried about Kaijin's safety.
Kaijin understood the gravity of the situation, so he suppressed his curiosity and never came here alone again.
It wasn't until Xiao Fan appeared and he heard Xiao Fan's words that Kai Jin finally decided to put his mind to this.
However, looking at the deep pool now emanating chilling air, Kaijin's face showed surprise.
After all, when he came here last time, the water in this pool was cold, but it shouldn't have been this cold.
However, the temperature now being displayed has far exceeded Kaijin's expectations. Not to mention that he cannot get close, he guesses that even his father would probably not be able to withstand the cold and enter the cold pool again.
On the other side, Xiao Fan looked at the icy pool in front of him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
After all, he had personally inspected this pool of water back then, but judging from the current situation, it seems he had missed quite a bit...
"boom!"
Xiao Fan unleashed a ball of strange fire, completely isolating the outside cold air and protecting the little ones inside. Then, his terrifying soul power probed into the icy pool.
As soon as his soul left the range of the strange fire, Xiao Fan noticed that the surrounding temperature had dropped by several degrees, and the biting cold was so intense that even a Dou Huang would probably not be able to stay there for long.
Sensing the extraordinary nature of this place, Xiao Fan became even more curious. With a thought, he enveloped his soul in intense heat, completely isolating himself from the external temperature.
Then, Xiao Fan's soul entered the icy pool.
The moment his soul dipped into the water, Xiao Fan immediately sensed that the temperature in the icy pool was several levels higher than the outside world. It was no exaggeration to say that even a Dou Huang expert would be completely frozen to death if he stayed in the icy pool for too long.
"interesting......"
A smile appeared on Xiao Fan's lips. Outside, Xiao Fan's body blurred for a moment, and then an identical figure stepped out from within him, took the two little ones, and watched as his main body fell into the icy pool.
If Thunder Venerable knew that the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body, the supreme technique of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, was being used by Xiao Fan to babysit, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
However, after Xiao Fan entered the icy pool, his body was enveloped in dark chaotic fire, and he continued to delve deeper into the pool, where the temperature dropped rapidly.
After a while, Xiao Fan's figure appeared at the bottom of the cold pool. The temperature here was so high that even a Dou Zong expert could not underestimate it.
However, it was clearly not enough in front of Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan landed at the bottom of the pool, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings, carefully observing the marks on the pool wall, but he found nothing.
"strangeness........"
Xiao Fan observed for a long time, but couldn't find the source of the cold air at all, and his eyes showed surprise.
"There wasn't even a trace?"
Xiao Fan refused to believe it. A blazing fire dragon emerged from behind him, churning at the bottom of the icy pool. The surrounding stone walls gradually crumbled into nothingness under the dragon's onslaught.
After the stone wall was burned down, what was inside was revealed. Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, and saw that a huge skeleton of a demonic beast was revealed inside the stone wall.
However, much of the body remains buried underground, and its full appearance is not visible.
The chill in this icy pool clearly didn't emanate from the skeleton. In fact, Xiao Fan could even sense that the beast possessed extremely rich fire-attribute energy within its body during its lifetime.
