113: The plan has changed, and Han Li counterattacked? (seeking subscription)

January 20th, 2023, New Calendar.

The 29th day of the 12th lunar month, 2022, Old Calendar.

Jiang City, Mingyue Residential Area.

Mo Fan got up early, quickly washed up, drew the curtains, and as usual, Cultivated the Golden Body Art facing the rising sun.

After his daughter returned last night.

The two of them rushed back to Jiang City overnight.

There was no alternative.

The New Year was approaching soon.

They had to come back early to prepare.

For example: a thorough cleaning.

After Cultivating the Golden Body Art, Mo Fan walked out, knocked on his daughter's door, and said, "It's about time to get up and clean."

"I want to sleep for a little while longer~"

His daughter's lazy voice came from inside the room.

"Alright, go ahead and sleep a bit more." Mo Fan shook his head, grabbed his tools, and started cleaning.

His daughter had been training in the Secret Realm, so she probably hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.

Since she was finally home, sleeping in was understandable.

It had been two or three months since they were home.

The house had accumulated a lot of dust.

Cleaning it up was quite troublesome.

He first tidied up the living room and kitchen.

Mo Fan tied on an apron and began cooking breakfast.

An hour and a half later, Mo Fan brought out a table full of sumptuous breakfast dishes.

"Get up and eat breakfast." Mo Fan knocked on his daughter's door again.

"Coming, coming, I'm getting up now!" Mo Yingying's excited voice came from inside the room.

Mo Fan: "?"

...After breakfast, Mo Yingying squinted her eyes, rubbing her flat stomach with a look of satisfaction.

"Dad, your cooking is getting better and better. These pastries are absolutely amazing. Make more tomorrow~"

"Alright, I'll make more tomorrow."

Mo Fan nodded in agreement, got up to clear the dishes, and instructed his daughter:

"Don't just sit there after eating your fill. Go do some work to help digest, so you don't gain weight."

"Yes, sir!" His daughter saluted Mo Fan.

"You're so grown up, yet you still act like a child." Mo Fan shook his head helplessly, turning to enter the kitchen with the dishes.

"Hmph, hmph, in front of Dad, I'll always be a little kid!" Mo Yingying said, puffing out her chest.

At this moment, Mo Fan had already entered the kitchen and started washing the dishes.

A few minutes later, Mo Fan came out of the kitchen and found his daughter lying on the sofa watching TV, causing him to frown.

"Didn't you say you were going to clean? Why are you watching TV?"

"Reporting, Dad! The cleaning is done!"

"Nonsense, how could it be done so—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Mo Fan stopped talking.

Because he noticed that the entire house, inside and out, was spotless.

There wasn't a single spiderweb on the ceiling, and the floor was so bright it could be used as a mirror.

Even the toilet in the bathroom was sparkling clean, shining brightly, *bling bling*.

"How did you do that?" Mo Fan was dumbfounded.

"It's simple. After reaching Beyond Ordinary, you can materialize Mental Energy.

"I dispersed my Mental Energy into billions of strands, wrapped up every speck of dust, and controlled them to fly into the trash can."

Mo Fan: "?"

There's a move like that?

Isn't this the legendary Cleaning Technique?

Is Beyond Ordinary that powerful?

If so, wouldn't working as a housekeeper be a huge profit?

Wait, no.

What am I thinking?

If you're Beyond Ordinary, why the hell would you be a housekeeper!

While Mo Fan was having wild thoughts, Mo Yingying climbed off the sofa and walked into the kitchen.

A moment later, she walked out of the kitchen.

"Dad, the kitchen is clean too. We just need to empty the trash, and our thorough cleaning will be finished~"

"A-amazing." Mo Fan didn't know what to say anymore.

He had lived for so many years.

This was the first time he felt that a thorough cleaning was such an effortless task.

"Then should I go back to watching TV?" Mo Yingying looked at Mo Fan, asking for permission.

"Go ahead, watch." Mo Fan waved his hand.

The work was done, so she could do whatever she wanted.

At the same time, he discreetly cast the Appraisal Technique toward Mo Yingying.

[Mo Yingying, 18 years old, Second Level of Extraordinary, originated 27 years in the future, accidentally encountered a spatial-temporal rift, Transmigrated to this era, Awakened the Invincible Physique, possesses the bearing of a great emperor.]

"Terrifying, she's already at Second Level of Extraordinary..."

Mo Fan sighed with emotion.

When this girl first arrived, she was only at Body Tempering Peak.

How much time had passed since then?

Just over three months!

To actually reach Second Level of Extraordinary—this Cultivation speed is absolutely frightening!

"As expected of the Invincible Physique, truly enviable—"

Just as Mo Fan was sighing, Mo Yingying seemed to suddenly remember something. She quickly turned around, pulled out a bulging Brocade Pouch, and tossed it to Mo Fan.

"Dad, this is for you~"

Mo Fan was startled: "What is this?"

Judging by its appearance, it looked a bit like Spirit Stones.

"Open it and see." Mo Yingying said with a smile.

Mo Fan nodded, untied the rope, and immediately saw glittering and translucent Spirit Stones.

They really are Spirit Stones... How many Spirit Stones must be in such a large bag?

Wait, why am I taking Spirit Stones from my daughter again?

Mo Fan took a deep breath and said, "I have enough Spirit Stones. You should keep these for yourself."

"I don't need them, Dad. You know that I don't use Spirit Stones for my Cultivation."

Mo Fan added, "Then you can use these Spirit Stones to exchange for other useful things, like Medicinal Pills, Cultivation Techniques, or Martial Skills."

"I don't need Medicinal Pills either, and the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills at Yuxu Academy aren't as good as the ones you taught me, Dad. I won't waste Spirit Stones exchanging for them.

"Dad, just take them. Don't be embarrassed; you're my dad, and it's right for me to show you filial respect!"

Mo Fan: "..."

That actually sounds reasonable?

Should I just accept them without guilt?

His daughter smiled and continued:

"Thanks to you teaching me the Golden Body Art, Dad, even though I haven't fully grasped it yet, it still increased my strength somewhat.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to obtain that mass of indestructible substance so smoothly inside the Secret Realm."

"indestructible substance?" Mo Fan was confused.

"Mhm, the indestructible substance. It's unique to Ancient Ruins. I don't know how they originated.

"Normally, it cannot be refined and seems to exist eternally.

"But I seem to be able to absorb and digest it... After absorbing the indestructible substance, my Physique is enhanced to a certain degree.

"Not only can digesting it directly increase my cultivation, but it also makes my Cultivation speed faster.

"It was precisely because I successfully absorbed the indestructible substance inside the Secret Realm that I was able to smoothly advance to Beyond Ordinary."

Speaking of this, Mo Yingying shook her head regretfully and continued:

"It's a pity there really aren't many good things left in the Secret Realm, and because time was tight, I didn't find anything suitable for you, Dad."

Hearing this, Mo Fan thought for a moment and asked, "Did you see any strange characters or symbols inside the Secret Realm?"

"Yes, quite a few, but no one could understand those characters, and no one wasted time looking at them." Mo Yingying shook her head.

"That's good." Mo Fan said.

"Huh?" Mo Yingying was stunned.

"It's nothing. I'm just starting to look forward to the Secret Realm." Mo Fan said.

"Mhm, you can still find good things in the Secret Realm. I wasted too much time chasing the indestructible substance, so there were many areas I didn't explore.

"Dad, once you Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm and pass the Trial Tower, you can go explore the Secret Realm yourself. You'll definitely find some Opportunities."

"Yes, I plan to do that. But these Spirit Stones of yours? Did you get them in the Secret Realm too?" Mo Fan asked his daughter.

If that were the case, it would be wonderful.

"No, no. These Spirit Stones were a reward Master gave me when I advanced to Beyond Ordinary. Although it's not a lot, it should be enough for you to use for a while, Dad."

"Use them for a while?" Mo Fan laughed wryly.

This bag of Spirit Stones.

Is already gone.

[Name: Mo Fan]

[Cultivation: Eighth Layer of Innate Realm (+)]

[...] (Click to expand/collapse)

[Available attribute points: 690]

After secretly absorbing 500 Spirit Stones, Mo Fan's attribute points increased to 690.

Quickly glancing at the Attribute Panel, Mo Fan returned to his room to change his clothes, preparing to go out.

"Stay home and behave yourself. I have something I need to go out for."

"Okay." Mo Yingying responded without turning her head, her eyes fixed on the melodramatic soap opera playing on the television... At the same time.

On an Unnamed Small Island in the Southern Region.

Liu Jian's expression was gloomy, staring in disbelief at the empty wooden house.

This wooden house belonged to Han Tang.

However, he hadn't seen Han Tang for three days.

"Where did that kid hide?

"This Isolated Island is cut off from the world, fortified by a powerful Spirit Array outside. Once someone enters the sea, they are met with storms, lightning, and thunder. With his Cultivation, it's impossible for him to leave the island... Where exactly did he hide?

"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more. Nothing can go wrong now..."

Liu Jian's face was grim. He took a deep breath, preparing to continue the search.

However, just as he was pondering, an inexplicable pressure instantly enveloped him.

Liu Jian felt his vision blur as black mist silently descended.

A figure wearing a black robe slowly emerged.

Seeing this, Liu Jian's expression changed. He immediately knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Your subordinate greets the Holy Envoy!"

"The plan is being moved up. It will proceed three days from now. Be prepared."

As the words fell, the black figure dematerialized and instantly vanished, as if it had never been there.

Once the black shadow disappeared, Liu Jian slumped onto the ground, becoming anxious and restless.

His eyes were bloodshot as he muttered to himself:

"Where did he go? Where did he go? Where on earth did he go?!"
