Realm of the Night God

After a few days, Feng Xiao's mood improved, and Yang Haoran hosted a celebration to welcome Feng Xiao's arrival.

Although there were still only a few people, they celebrated for a whole day, and everyone had a great time.

Of course, Ye Zhiqiu was still his usual self, and it was unclear whether he was happy or not, but he participated from start to finish.

In the following time, Yang Haoran did not go out again. He first refined most of the soul pills in his hand, leaving only five.

These five soul pills were not refined together because he wanted to keep them as a precaution, in case of an emergency, and he would be at a disadvantage without them.

Moreover, the ghosts under his command needed soul pills to enhance their strength, and he left a few to occasionally reward them.

After refining these soul pills, Yang Haoran's strength surged again, and the speed of his progress was unimaginable to other Burial Masters. The gap between him and some senior Burial Masters also narrowed.

As for some newcomers or Burial Masters who started at the same time as him, they were already far behind.

Originally, he wanted to refine most of the soul pills when they were first produced, but due to too many things, he had to pause midway.

After refining the soul pills, Yang Haoran did not immediately start refining new ones because there were too few ghosts that could be refined at present. He planned to collect more before proceeding, and his daily routine, apart from drawing talismans, was reading and occasionally visiting Feng Xiao.

Before bringing Feng Xiao to the villa, Yang Haoran did not know how skilled Feng Xiao was in alchemy, but after observing her for a while, he gained a superficial understanding.

Why was it superficial? Because he lacked a reference point, and he was an outsider to alchemy, so he could only watch from the surface.

However, Feng Xiao was extremely skilled in refining pills, brewing elixirs, or making medicinal powders, with a high success rate. He had seen all of this with his own eyes. Find the translation on MV&LEMPYR.

He had tried the various medicines refined by Feng Xiao, and the effects were all good, better than he had expected.

Although he could not accurately judge Feng Xiao's abilities compared to other alchemists, whether she was stronger or weaker than ordinary alchemists, or how much she lagged behind master-level alchemists, he was very satisfied with her current abilities.

Even if Feng Xiao still had a significant gap compared to master-level alchemists, it did not matter to him. After all, Feng Xiao was only a 15-year-old girl, and her life had just begun. As long as she had sufficient resources, it was only a matter of time before she became a master alchemist.

Yang Haoran was very satisfied with Feng Xiao, and Feng Xiao was also very satisfied with her new living environment. Although there were not many people here, they treated her like family, making her feel warm and intimate. She had completely walked out of her sorrow and fully integrated into life here.

Time flew by, and more than a month had passed. One day, Yang Haoran was reading in the study room when a formation disc on the desk suddenly emitted a faint glow.

This formation disc was the one controlling the Mountain and River Grand Formation.

Seeing the formation disc react, Yang Haoran's gaze fell on it, and under his gaze, the light emitted by the formation disc quickly dissipated. In the blink of an eye, the formation disc returned to normal.

The sudden change in the formation disc indicated that something or someone had touched the restriction barrier, but the other party seemed to have sensed the existence of the barrier and retreated without launching an attack.

Yang Haoran's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, and then he spoke, "Xiu Juan, please go outside the villa and take a look. If it's just an ordinary person, please ask them to leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Haoran withdrew his gaze from the formation disc and continued reading his book.

Yang Haoran's voice was not loud, just like his usual conversations, but with the power of his voice, it resonated throughout the entire villa.

Xiu Juan was cleaning the living room when she heard Yang Haoran's call. She quickly put down the rag in her hand, responded with a bow towards the direction of Yang Haoran's study room, and then walked out of the villa.

A moment later, Yang Haoran's mobile phone rang. He picked it up and saw that the caller was Xiu Juan.

Xiu Juan wouldn't call him at this time unless there was something outside the barrier that she couldn't handle. He didn't hesitate and answered the call.

"What's wrong, Xiu Juan?" Yang Haoran asked casually while looking at his book.

"A young woman has come to the barrier, asking for you by name. I didn't sense any power fluctuations from her, but she gives me a very dangerous feeling. She's definitely not an ordinary person," Xiu Juan said.

Yang Haoran's eyes flickered with doubt upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but wonder about the visitor's identity.

"Okay, I'll come out right away," Yang Haoran replied, then hung up the phone.

Originally, Yang Haoran was going to let Xiu Juan bring the person directly into the villa, but after a moment's consideration, he thought it wouldn't be polite to do so. If the visitor was someone important, it would be impolite to bring them in without a proper greeting.

Moreover, if the visitor was malicious, bringing them into the barrier would be like inviting a wolf into the house.

So, he decided to go out and take a look.

A moment later, Yang Haoran arrived outside the villa, where Xiu Juan was indeed standing with a young woman.

At this time, Xiu Juan was watching the young woman with a cautious expression, preventing her from suddenly causing trouble. The young woman, on the other hand, was looking at Xiu Juan with a cold expression, her hands in her pockets, completely ignoring Xiu Juan.

When Yang Haoran came out of the barrier, both Xiu Juan and the young woman's gazes fell on him.

Yang Haoran's gaze, however, fell on the young woman, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

This young woman was none other than Xu Meijing!

"Divine envoy!" Xiu Juan hurriedly bowed in respect.

Seeing Yang Haoran's smile, Xiu Juan knew that this person must be a friend of Yang Haoran's, and she was also relieved that she hadn't directly driven the person away earlier. If she had, it would be embarrassing now.

"You can go back to your work," Yang Haoran said to Xiu Juan with a smile.

Xiu Juan responded with a bow and retreated back into the barrier, while Yang Haoran's gaze fell on Xu Meijing again.

"Heh heh, long time no see," Yang Haoran said with a smile, greeting Xu Meijing.

"It's only been a few months, what's the big deal?" Xu Meijing rolled her eyes, speaking in a cold tone.

Xu Meijing was still her usual self, extremely proud and unchanged, even when facing Yang Haoran.

Yang Haoran was familiar with Xu Meijing's personality, so he didn't mind her attitude at all. Instead, he felt very close to her, because this was the Xu Meijing he knew.

"I should have known you were coming and waited for you outside. You should have called me first," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"Can't I come without calling?" Xu Meijing asked, her tone still cold.

"Of course, you can come anytime you want. I welcome you anytime. But how did you know I lived here?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

Xu Meijing had never been here before, so Yang Haoran was curious about how she found out.

"Your residence isn't a secret, what's so strange about me knowing you live here?" Xu Meijing asked, her tone implying that Yang Haoran was being silly.

Yang Haoran's face turned red with embarrassment upon hearing this. He realized he had asked a very foolish question.

As Xu Meijing said, his residence wasn't a secret. Not only did his Night Watch know, but many outsiders did as well.

Moreover, with some Night Watch supporting him in Ancheng Yin Division, it was easy for Xu Meijing to find out his residence from them.

"Are you going to stand there smiling like an idiot? Are you going to leave me standing outside forever?"

Xu Meijing's words made Yang Haoran even more embarrassed. He only then realized that it was inappropriate to keep Xu Meijing standing outside and hurriedly apologized while inviting her into the villa.
