"As long as I say a few words to this woman, each of you will be paid ten million!"

Huang Siyuan's words made the two maids immediately step aside from the path in front of Xia Xiaodie. Nobody resists money; they were merely maids of the Huang Family and had no acquaintance with Xia Xiaodie.

Moreover, looking at Huang Siyuan's demeanor, it was clear he was provoked by something. Refusing Huang Siyuan now would certainly lead to future repercussions.

No one chooses to put themselves in such a precarious position for someone they don't know.

At this moment, a hint of smugness flashed across Huang Siyuan's face, the swollen face twisting with a sinister look.

"Xia Xiaodie, at a time like this, you're still pretending to be above it all?"

Huang Siyuan roared in fury, desperate to vent all the pain and humiliation Xu Fan had inflicted on him, "In three days, I'll be your husband. Are you still going to keep up this saintly facade in front of your husband?"

The two maids grew tense and warned Huang Siyuan, "Young Master, please watch your words! If anything happens, it won't be easy to explain."

As for Xia Xiaodie, she seemed indifferent to Huang Siyuan's roar, her expression showing no sign of movement, her gaze towards the giant tree outside the window devoid of emotion.

Huang Siyuan ignored the two maids, taking a deep breath as if to calm himself, and spoke to Xia Xiaodie, "Can you guess who I saw today?"

Xia Xiaodie's response remained silent and unperturbed.

A sinister glint flashed in Huang Siyuan's eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you want to guess? It's someone you constantly think about, an old acquaintance! The scars on my face are all thanks to him!"

Upon hearing this, the serene look in Xia Xiaodie's eyes finally rippled with emotion.

Turning back, staring at Huang Siyuan's pig-liver colored face, Xia Xiaodie trembled slightly as she asked, "Xu... Xu Fan? He came to America? How is he?"

"How is he?" Huang Siyuan laughed maniacally, "He's doing just fine! First, he humiliated me at the gathering, and then he did it again right in front of my seventh uncle! Now, are you happy?"

Xia Xiaodie wasn't visibly happy upon hearing that Xu Fan was unharmed, but deep within her eyes lay an inescapable worry.

Although Xia Xiaodie didn't fully understand the Huang Family's strength, she learned enough from numerous details to know Xu Fan, facing the entire Hidden World Families' Huang Family, was certainly at a disadvantage!

Yet Xia Xiaodie knew Xu Fan's character too well; acting against impossible odds, facing fearlessly against a multitude! For her sake, Xu Fan would certainly come to the Huang Family wedding banquet!

In recent days, Xia Xiaodie was most anxious about Xu Fan coming to America to attend her wedding, and now, her worst fear had happened...

Seeing Xia Xiaodie's worried look, Huang Siyuan was angry yet experienced a deep-rooted satisfaction!

In three days, Xu Fan would be dead, and Xia Xiaodie would watch him die, such was the consequence of offending Huang Siyuan!

Yet Huang Siyuan didn't let up on Xia Xiaodie, continuing, "You're well aware that he's certain to come in three days, right? Your old acquaintance arrived unluckily, as our Huang Family rounded up scattered experts to prevent trouble from various forces."

"By the way, what realm of power is your old acquaintance in? Entering Dao Realm Early Stage? Or Middle Stage?"

Huang Siyuan smiled sinisterly, "Do you know what kind of battalion we have prepared to welcome your old acquaintance?"

"Three hundred and thirty-nine Entering Dao Realm experts! Three Vajra Realm Early Stage experts! One Vajra Realm Middle Stage expert! One Vajra Realm Late Stage expert!"

At this point, Xia Xiaodie's eyes were filled with despair.

Huang Siyuan grew more excited as he spoke, "These are just the surface strength of our Huang Family! Plus, we have Dark Forces as allies. Who knows how big a ripple your old acquaintance could cause at the Huang Family?"

Upon finishing, Huang Siyuan seemed to bask in immense satisfaction, laughing aloud as he turned and left.

And Xia Xiaodie, with her previously calm eyes, was now unable to remain calm.

Initially, Xia Xiaodie intended to end her life after the wedding and meet Xu Fan in the next life. But upon hearing of Xu Fan's impending arrival at the wedding, she was nearly breaking down.

Worry, helplessness, fear, emotion, despair...

A surge of emotions flooded her heart as Xia Xiaodie looked at the withered leaves outside the window, softly murmuring the name that tugged at her heart.

"You silly fool, why are you so stupid..."

...

At this moment, Xu Fan had discreetly returned to the residence arranged by Xia Hengzhou for him. Closing the door, he began secluded cultivation.

Not to temporarily rely on Buddha's help or to expect to break through a realm in three days, Xu Fan's retreat aimed to cultivate his Domain!

Under Arthur's Domain, with Arthur's guidance, Xu Fan comprehended the essence of the Domain, and after an awakening, he vaguely sensed the life of nature's spiritual energy.

Last time, standing in the fields, Xu Fan was almost able to control nature's spiritual energy to form a domain's prototype, but failed due to unfamiliarity with nature's spiritual energy manipulation.

Arthur revealed his understanding of Domain to Xu Fan partly out of admiration and partly due to recognizing Xu Fan's identity, keenly sensing Xu Fan might one day transform into a dragon and dominate dominions in the Cultivation World!

Thus, Arthur sought to establish a good relation with Xu Fan, although inwardly, Arthur doubted Xu Fan could cultivate a Domain!

To feel nature's spiritual energy was easy, but sensing its vitality was hard! Some spend a lifetime unable to achieve this!

And making nature's spiritual energy fond of oneself was harder still; without physical tempering by nature's spiritual energy, achieving Vajra Realm entry was impossible!

To truly cultivate a Domain, familiarity with nature's spiritual energy wasn't enough; one must make it fond of oneself, mastering nature's spiritual energy as if directing one's arm, to have a chance at cultivating a Domain!

How could one in mere Entering Dao Realm possibly cultivate a genuine Domain?

Yet, cultivation inherently defied fate; at times, what seemed absolutely impossible could become possible through an epiphany!

As for Xu Fan... he hadn't thought that far ahead!

Xu Fan had one single thought: in three days, he must rescue Xia Xiaodie from the Huang Family!

The Huang Family might harbor Zhiwei Realm experts, hence Xu Fan needed to grasp Domain's understanding!

Yet, in this understanding, imperceptibly, Xu Fan became engrossed in the world of Domain...
