Bei Feng read his book quietly, occasionally lifting his head to gaze at the colorful butterflies fluttering around the resplendent garden.
Time flowed by slowly and finally, Bei Feng stood up and stretched his back before disappearing into the kitchen again.
After lunch, Bei Feng peeled the White River Rice and gathered all of the seeds together. Then, he took the little fox to the cliff at the back of the mountain to plant a new crop of White River Rice.
Tens of seeds were scattered into the cracks in the rocky cliff.
Little fellow, you must work hard! This time, we’ll split the fruits 50/50. What do you think?


Meep?

The little fox lowered its head and counted with its tiny claws in a confused manner before meeping aloud happily.
Although it wasn’t able to calculate how many fruits was 50/50, it knew that it was enough for it to eat for a very, very long time!
Bei Feng smiled wryly as he looked at the little fox. He really didn’t know if the little fellow would become frustrated after taking care of the White River Rice once.
After everything was done, he went to the lake to check on the Frigid Snowy Arowanas.
The lake was not big and was only a few hundred meters in size. Perhaps instead of a lake, it would be more suitable to call it a pond?
The water was extremely clear, and lush water plants grew along it. All sorts of aqua plant life lined the shores, and a few birds were startled into flight as Bei Feng approached.
Apart from the center of the lake, its other parts were not even three meters deep. As for how deep the center was, Bei Feng did not know…
…but from the shore, one could see an obvious dark inky circle of water about 20-30 meter wide in the center of the lake. The water there obviously had to be much deeper than in the surrounding waters to create such a phenomenon.
Bei Feng strolled along the shore for a while without seeing any trace of the Frigid Snowy Arowanas. ‘Could it be that they had all swum into the deep waters?’ He thought as a few pieces of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat appeared from his spatial ring. With a flick of his wrist, the meat was tossed into the center of the lake.

Plish!

The Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat landed right in the middle of the inky water and immediately began to sink.
As soon as the meat touched the water, all the fishes and shrimps nearby swarmed over and bit at the meat.
Bei Feng’s eyes lit up as a big fellow emerged from the deep end of the pool. Contrary to his expectations, it was not the Frigid Snowy Arowanas. Instead, it was an oversized carp!
The carp was at least seventy, eighty jin heavy, and was over a meter long. It swayed its powerful tail and shot towards the piece of meat.

Dmn, this random lake can actually produce such a huge carp?
Bei Feng gasped with disbelief.
Just as the carp was about to swallow the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat whole, a huge shadow suddenly appeared beside it. With a speed that left the carp unable to react, it slammed fiercely into the side of the carp and knocked it away.
The carp was obviously intimidated as it hurriedly swam back into the depths of the lake, not daring to show itself any more.
The huge fellow who knocked the carp away was none other than the only Grade 3 Frigid Snowy Arowana! It had reached 4 meters in length. In this little lake, it was probably the undisputed overlord!
The other three 2-meter-long Frigid Snowy Arowanas also appeared soon after. They each swallowed a piece of meat before diving back into the deep regions of the lake.
Bei Feng guessed that this deep water region might be linked to a vast underground river or some kind of karst cave. Otherwise, how could a huge carp like that appear in an obscure lake like this?
‘Forget it, it’s fine as long as the Frigid Snowy Arowanas do not escape from here.’
Bei Feng turned around and returned to the villa to continue reading his books. The more he read, the more he began to understand the wisdom of the ancient people. Every read-through of every book brought him new insights.
When it was 6 pm, he began preparing for dinner. This time, it was a plate of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat again, with a bowl of White River Rice.
Mystic Four and the rest had also arrived, and were waiting in the living room. Bei Feng had even told them to bring some condiments to go with his dinner when they came, causing them to laugh bitterly in resignation.
After dinner, Bei Feng brought Ripper who was covered in multiple layers of clothes and boarded the car. The moment Ripper sat down, the entire car sank down on one side.

Tonight, many people arrived at the Crown Fitness Center as usual. But this time, they were greeted with a sign that said that the fitness center was under maintenance and was not open to the public. This caused quite a few people to become unhappy.
Crown Fitness Center was an establishment with very strong financial capabilities. It was located at the city’s downtown area, at the heart of Gingko Trees Park.
Hidden among the lush Gingko forest, the 3-storied building took up a vast space of several acres!
The fitness center incorporated the concepts of fitness and food into one and provided the facilities for such. Not far from the fitness center was a sizable lake. Numerous colorful fishes swam lazily through the clear water, giving one a sense of serenity and relaxation. As it provided a sanctuary of peace within the bustling city, this place was favored by many.

Phew, I’ve finally sent those grumpy lords away…

The manager of Crown Fitness Center wiped away the sweat on his forehead as he watched the disgruntled guests leaving. He could finally heave a sigh of relief.
Still, Xie Qi groaned inwardly. ‘Now that the lords had been sent away, there’s still two emperors waiting to be received!’
He’d received the call from Bei Feng’s Guards yesterday to book the entire facility for a day. The fees would still be given as per normal.
He didn’t have a choice. He simply could not afford to offend them! This was one of the two overlords of Qingcheng’s underground after all!
Although the owner of Crown Fitness Center was also a rather prominent figure, there was no point in offending the underground society over such a small matter.
Just as Xie Qi was daydreaming, tens of cars pulled up in front of the fitness center. There was a few Mercedes Benz, BMW, and even a Bentley in the entourage!
The cars’ doors opened simultaneously and a bunch of intimidating men quickly stepped out. They were all young men about 25-26 years old. They seemed extremely serious, and no one made a sound as they lined up before the Bentley.
The security company under Mingyu Corporation was an extremely well-known one. The personnel in it had all gone through professional training without exception. Among them, the top-tier bodyguards each cost upwards of 10,000 yuan a month for hire! The company was also very well rated in the industry.
This time, the people who came with Miao Tianhua were the elite of the elites! Without any exaggerations, these people would not even be in a disadvantageous position if they were compared with the most elite special force soldiers when it came to close combat!

Let’s go, this is the place.

Miao Tianhua stepped out of the car with a frosty expression and said in a bland tone. His face showed no emotions as he led the group in.
This group was obviously not people who could be offended. Even so, Xie Qi still hardened his scalp forcefully and went up to stop Miao Tianhua’s group.

My sincerest apologies, esteemed guests. The facility is not ready for receiving customers today. If you’re here for a meal or to access our fitness services, please come back tomorrow,
Xie Qi said with an awkward smile.

Bei Feng’s Guards told us to come here. Are they not here yet?
Miao Tianhua stepped up and asked with a slight frown.
Xie Qi widened his eyes slightly and immediately led the group to a large training hall. The hall had been completely cleared this time, and there weren’t any unnecessary items left.
Apart from the twenty-some chairs in the middle of the hall, it was completely empty.

These guys are truly haughty!
Qi Zetian snorted coldly as he looked around the empty hall. Thereafter, he pulled out one of the chairs and set it before Miao Tianhua.

Haha, no matter. I haven’t come across a youngster with character in a long time anyway,
Miao Tianhua smiled lightly, as though the person who had been killed was somebody else’s son.
Truthfully, for a person of Miao Tianhua’s standing, how could he possibly have only one successor? God alone knows how many hidden mistresses he had outside. Of course, the talk about an only son was an even bigger joke!
