Tang Clan, Dining Hall.
As Fang Xian and Ran Lao approached the canteen, they saw Tang San and Mu Yunzhi smiling and waiting for them.
"It seems that Elder Ran and Fang Xian had a very pleasant conversation."
"Haha! Young friend Fang Xian may be young, but he has lofty aspirations. I like him very much."
Old Ran laughed heartily and patted Fang Xian's shoulder lightly.
"Mr. Ran is very kind."
Fang Xian smiled slightly and greeted Tang San and Mu Yunzhi.
Hello, Uncle and Aunt.
Mu Yunzhi smiled radiantly, her beauty captivating all who beheld her.
"Hehe, let's go inside and eat first, then we can sit down and chat."
"good."
They stepped onto the ancient blue brick road and entered the canteen.
The wooden beams and pillars exude the fragrance of time, supporting the entire spacious area.
The tables and chairs are neatly arranged and are all made of solid wood with smooth and warm surfaces.
Vintage chandeliers hang from the ceiling, casting a soft glow.
The cafeteria was unusually quiet; apart from a few chefs and service staff, no one else was dining there.
Tang San walked to the center of the dining hall and stopped in front of a large round table made of thick wood.
The desktop is wide and flat, and has been finely polished to a smooth, mirror-like finish.
Various Sichuan dishes were already laid out on the table, and to cater to the tastes of Fang Xian and the others, some lighter dishes were also prepared.
"Please have a seat, everyone."
Everyone felt at ease and took their seats.
The Tang Clan's staff immediately poured wine and served soup to everyone.
Tang San picked up his wine glass and slowly stood up.
"I am deeply grateful to all of you for coming to help me today. Let me first raise a toast to everyone."
...
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone started their business over dinner.
"Sect Leader Tang, according to your estimate, how long will it take for the 'mysterious dungeon' to be unsealed?"
Old Ran took a small sip and felt quite comfortable.
Tang San seemed to be deep in thought before giving his answer.
"Based on our years of observation and research, the seal will become ineffective in three to five days at most."
Ran Tian was new to the area and didn't know much, so he asked the questions that were on his mind.
"Sect Leader Tang, why seal them away for over a hundred years? Can't we take the initiative and deal with them?"
"Well, young friend Ran, you may not know this, but in its early stages, a strange phenomenon releases a large amount of 'strange energy' into the outside world. This energy spreads through the air and causes irreversible damage to the environment."
"So we have to wait for time to settle and let the 'eerie atmosphere' dissipate in the dungeon."
Ran Tian suddenly realized and nodded silently.
"What level are those strange things at right now?"
Tang San put down his chopsticks and patiently answered.
"The eerie creatures only awaken before the seal is broken or when someone enters the dungeon. They remain dormant at other times, so their levels don't increase much."
"According to our observations and research, after hundreds of years, they only increase by one or two levels at most, so we feel at ease letting them exist and waiting for the 'eerie energy' to dissipate automatically before dealing with them."
"I see."
Ran Tian finally understood the reason.
"After that eerie creature emerged, was it afraid of the light?"
Old Ran felt that he didn't understand anything and was really too concerned about saving face, so he complained to him in a bad mood.
"Have you been watching too many horror movies? Only the supernatural isn't afraid of light."
"Strictly speaking, this kind of strange creature, which is mutated from a special copy, belongs to the same species as humans."
"You can still live a normal life on Earth, and you can still get married and have children."
"These facts have been proven over thousands of years, and haven't they been taught in schools?"
Ran Tian scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled sheepishly:
"I've been taught it, but it seems like I've forgotten everything."
"You little brat."
Ran Hu, who was sitting next to Ran Tian, slapped him on the head to stop him from continuing to speak.
He's still using his silver tongue? He's really asking for trouble.
Fang Xian smiled faintly; he already knew this knowledge.
Sitting next to Fang Xian, Mu Yunzhi picked up her wine glass, her lips curving slightly upward, exuding an air of intellect and confidence, yet also revealing a hint of allure unintentionally.
"Fang Xian, let me toast you to thank you for your help."
Fang Xian picked up the wine glass, smelling the rich aroma of the wine and the faint fragrance emanating from Mu Yunzhi.
"Thank you, Aunt Yunzhi. It's my pleasure."
The two exchanged a smile and drank it all in one gulp.
...
After a satisfying meal, it was already late, and everyone went home.
Fang Xian led the seven women toward the house, one of whom was Mu Wanyao's best friend, Ran Qing.
Regarding Ran Qing's companions, Fang Xian learned from Mu Wanyao that the two were best friends, and that they were:
The youngest level 91 "Paladin" in history, and the youngest level 91 "Mage Master" in history, are known as...
—The two peerless heroes.
As they were about to return to their house, Tang Xiaowu took Fang Xian's arm, reluctant to part.
"Honey, I just got back. I'm sleeping with my mom tonight, so I won't be able to stay with you..."
Fang Xian affectionately pinched Tang Xiaowu's little cheek.
"Yes, you should. You should spend more time with Aunt Yunzhi."
"Thank you, honey."
Tang Xiaowu tiptoed and left a lip print on Fang Xian's face.
"Honey, I'm going now."
Goodnight, ladies.
Everyone: "Okay."
Seeing Tang Xiaowu leave, Mu Wanyao ran to Fang Xian's side, her face full of apology.
"Honey, I'm sorry, I have to be with Qing'er tonight, so I can't be with you..."
Fang Xian gently stroked Mu Wanyao's head and smiled slightly.
"It's okay, you guys chat."
"Thank you, honey."
Mu Wanyao tiptoed and gave Fang Xian a light peck on the cheek, then shyly took Ran Qing's delicate hand and headed upstairs.
Ran Qing was slightly surprised by Tang Xiaowu's actions earlier, and now seeing Mu Wanyao being so proactive, her pretty face was filled with doubt and confusion.
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Fang Xian, eager to see what charm this man possessed that could turn the queen-like Mu Wanyao into a little girl.
The happiest people after their departure were the remaining five women.
"When we're on someone else's turf, we should keep a low profile and not make too much of a fuss."
"So I've decided to sleep by myself tonight."
After Fang Xian finished speaking, he ran back to his room, leaving the five women bewildered in the wind.
After washing up, he took out "Blood of the God of War" and "Golden Divine Gift" again and started using them.
At this moment, Fang Xian's wives started chatting in a pinned WeChat group.
