Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 696: Chapter 696: This is the Reward You Deserve (Second Update)

Actually, even before Xue An gave the order, the two little girls had already eagerly picked up a piece and put it in their mouths.

“Is it good?” An Yan asked.

The two little girls were beyond the point of speaking, managing only to nod repeatedly.

An Yan also picked up a piece and tried it.

Upon entering the mouth, there was a very tender yet resilient texture, coated with a thickened sauce that was incredibly fragrant and refreshingly sweet.

But after just a couple of chews, the Dragon Liver suddenly melted away, and then was rapidly absorbed by the body.

An Yan felt a significant increase in her strength, and her Cultivation Level also began to stir.

However, since An Yan’s Cultivation Level had already reached the critical value of the Seal, she couldn’t make any progress at all.

Xue An naturally noticed this and his expression gradually turned cold.

“Honey, have a bite!” An Yan, clearly seeing that something was amiss with Xue An and guessing the reason behind it, quickly changed the subject.

Xue An shook his head with a smile and said, “I’ve had my fill of this stuff in the past, you and the kids eat it!”

Just then.

Suddenly, there was a commotion of footsteps from outside the door.

Then someone shouted, “Are you sure someone went inside here?”

“Boss, we’re absolutely certain! No mistake about it! And didn’t you smell the aroma? Clearly, the thief is inside cooking!”

“Damn it, someone dared to cause trouble in Mr. Xue’s old house, today I, Du Fan, won’t forgive myself if I don’t flay him…”

Before he could finish, Xue An had already opened the door.

Indeed.

Standing outside, rolling up their sleeves, ready to break in and catch the “thief,” was none other than Du Fan and his group of Beijiang roughnecks.

And when they saw Xue An standing behind the door, wearing a cooking apron and even holding a spatula, they were all stunned.

“Xue… Mr. Xue?” Du Fan was the first to regain his composure, his face filled with astonishment.

Xue An nodded slightly, looked Du Fan over, and said indifferently, “Sorry about what? The Cultivation Technique that you’ve been practicing?”

Upon hearing this, Du Fan trembled and then sheepishly scratched his head, “Heh, thanks to Mr. Xue, I’ve also started cultivating.”

“Oh, how’s your progress?”

This time, Du Fan didn’t even dare to look up, muttering softly, “Up until now, I haven’t felt the presence of Spiritual Energy!”

Xue An laughed, “Of course, you can’t feel it, because you simply don’t have the aptitude for cultivation!”

Hearing this, Du Fan felt the urge to cry, because he wasn’t the first person to tell him this. But coming from Xue An, it plunged Du Fan into true despair.

Not having the aptitude meant he couldn’t cultivate in the future.

Du Fan wasn’t a fool.

He could clearly see what would be most valued in the future—without a doubt, it was the cultivators with a Cultivation Level.

If he wanted to stay in his current position longer, he would need much stronger power.

Otherwise, he could very well become an outcast of the era.

So no matter how difficult it was, he still wanted to cultivate.

But the words from Xue An today mercilessly shattered his last bit of fantasy.

As Du Fan’s face turned ashen.

Xue An looked at his subordinates holding clubs behind him and asked indifferently, “How did you know something was happening in my house?”

Du Fan responded in a low voice, “Sir, it was all arranged by me, because I feared that petty thieves might disturb your old mansion, so I ordered people to watch it twenty-four hours a day. They told me someone had broken into your old mansion, and I rushed over immediately.”

“It’s possible that you returned in such a hurry that these people didn’t recognize you, which led to this mix-up. I’m really sorry!”

Du Fan explained at length.

Upon hearing this, Xue An chuckled and then suddenly asked, “During the previous chaos in the world, it was also you who arranged for people to secretly protect the Shie family, wasn’t it?”

Du Fan nodded in response, “At that time, although Chairman Qin also sent people, I always worried that their bodyguards weren’t astute enough, so I instructed a few local toughs to keep watch.”

“Even though these toughs weren’t strong fighters, they were very familiar with the local terrain and situation. Their presence could help Uncle Shie and his family through tough times.”

Xue An nodded, “You did well!”

Du Fan was slightly startled and was about to offer his thanks when the next sentence from Xue An made him stand frozen in place.

“Although you have done many things wrong before, in recognition of these two points of dedication, I will grant you an opportunity.”

Opportunity.

Mr. Xue is offering me an opportunity.

Du Fan felt as if his entire being had turned foolish, his mind went completely blank, and all he could do was nod his head dumbly.

“Hmm!”

Xue An smiled faintly, turned to look at the mother and daughters who had already eaten more than half of the dragon liver but clearly could no longer continue.

“Are you still eating?”

All three women shook their heads simultaneously.

“No more, it was very delicious at first, but after eating too much it feels like my stomach is bursting!” An Yan said.

“Yeah! I feel so stuffed it’s uncomfortable!” Xiang Xiang said.

Only Nian Nian took another piece, put it in her mouth, and started chewing slowly like a hamster.

“I think it’s alright, but I’m full too!”

Xue An laughed and casually picked up the plate with the remaining half portion of the dragon liver.

“Here, this is for you!”

Du Fan took the plate somewhat blankly, “Sir, this is…”

“This is the opportunity I am giving you,” Xue An said indifferently.

“Ah?”

Du Fan was somewhat dumbfounded.

A plate of leftovers is the opportunity?

If someone else had said this, Du Fan would have hurled the plate at them by now, certain they were making fun of him.

But he dared not disregard Xue An’s words.

And what exactly was this dish made of? It smelled so fragrant.

“Try a piece!” Xue An said.

“Erm… okay!”

Contemplating, Du Fan grabbed a piece and threw it into his mouth.

After chewing for a while, Du Fan’s body shook, and he suddenly broke out in a foul sweat.

His eyes, which had been somewhat cloudy, also started to clear up.

This was the effect of the dragon liver’s ability to cleanse the veins and marrow.

Afterwards, Du Fan felt he could suddenly sense the presence of nature’s spiritual energy.

This discovery left him ecstatic, “Sir…”

Xue An waved his hand, “This is what you deserve.”

However, Du Fan did not see it that way; he carefully held the plate in his hands and then bowed deeply to Xue An with great respect.

“Sir, I am eternally grateful for your kindness. If there is anything you require of me in the future, I am at your service like a loyal dog or horse!”

Xue An smiled faintly, “Alright! Be on your way.”

After speaking, he closed the door of the room.

Du Fan maintained his bow for over a minute before slowly straightening up.

His face was filled with excitement and joy.

As for his subordinates, they were all staring intently at the plate in Du Fan’s hands.

Du Fan spoke calmly, “This was gifted by the master. I have already eaten a piece, and the rest is only for those who make an exceptional contribution to the gang. Understand?”

“Yes!” The subordinates all shuddered, their respect for their leader increasing even further.

“Also, remember to send more people to guard this place. If the master has any need, report it to me immediately!”

“Understood!”
