The already weak wall of the middle dantian was finally breached.

A small river suddenly appeared before them, its waters flowing gently, though the flow was very low, revealing a dry riverbed.

This is Zhang Fan's spiritual platform.

Only when the water in this stream rises will there be a chance to break through to the upper dantian.

As dawn broke, a few scattered stars dotted the pale blue sky.

Zhang Fan felt an inexhaustible surge of energy throughout his body. He suddenly stood up and performed a set of Hun Tian Fist.

His punches were as swift as the wind, as light as a swallow, as heavy as thunder, as graceful as a crane, and as fierce as a tiger.

He took a step forward, clenched his right fist, and unleashed a powerful punch.

"boom--"

Not far away, a pine tree as thick as an arm fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

Zhang Fan looked at the fallen pine tree with great satisfaction.

It was already broad daylight. Zhang Fan, afraid that Li Chunyan would worry, returned home as quickly as possible.

He was running at top speed, so fast that he was leaving afterimages.

When Zhang Fan got home, he didn't feel tired at all.

He entered the room and had just closed the door when he heard a gasp.

"Ah, what is this?"

Zhang Fan quickly ran over and saw Li Chunyan holding a water ladle, frowning as she looked at the water vat.

Upon closer inspection, tiny black dots, about the size of rice grains, were swimming around in the water tank.

The rockfish actually hatched.

It is common to raise fish in water tanks in rural areas, which ensures that the fish are fresh and that the water source is safe.

There were just too many small fish; one dip of the ladle could scoop up hundreds of them.

Li Chunyan was both annoyed and amused.

She thought Zhang Fan was just being childish, but given the current water shortage and how precious this tank of water was, this was too wasteful: "Zhang Fan, since we're short of water, could you please move these little fish to a smaller container?"

"When there's enough water, I'll buy you a big tank to raise fish."

Zhang Fan nodded: "Okay."

Zhang Fan took the rice-washing basket and scooped the rockfish into a ceramic basin about the size of his head.

Fortunately, the rockfish are small, and when they are densely packed together, they don't take up much space.

However, the density was too high, so Zhang Fan released a small amount of spiritual energy to prevent the rock fish from dying from lack of oxygen.

Li Chunyan looked relieved; Zhang Fan was truly a worry-free person.

Although he is less intelligent than others, he is obedient and sensible. He will protect her when she is in danger, making him a thousand times better than other men.

This matter with Zhang Fan needs to be settled as soon as possible, or someone else might snatch it away.

Li Chunyan stared intently at Zhang Fan with her eyes sparkling, a charming smile playing on her lips: "Zhang Fan, look at you, you've got some mud on your face again."

She reached out her slender hand and stroked Zhang Fan's handsome face.

It feels slightly warm to the touch and carries a unique orchid fragrance.

Li Chunyan's eyes blazed with desire, making Zhang Fan feel extremely uncomfortable. He instinctively tried to back away.

Li Chunyan parted her lips slightly, her breath as fragrant as orchids: "Why are you hiding? Fools don't eat people."

Zhang Fan thought to himself, "You look like a hungry wolf; it would be strange if you didn't eat people."

Just as Zhang Fan thought Li Chunyan was planning to commit adultery in broad daylight, Li Chunyan suddenly noticed a slight redness in Zhang Fan's eyes and immediately felt sorry for him: "It's too early now, you should go to sleep first."

Zhang Fan placed the rockfish on the windowsill and went into the room.

We must urge Jiang Tao to implement the plan to raise rockfish as soon as possible.

He called Jiang Tao, who was so excited that he didn't sleep all night and spent the whole night looking for a shop near the school.

"Zhang Fan, I saw this warehouse and it looks good. It's only a kilometer away from the university, and there aren't many people around. It's very secluded. I've already contacted the landlord, and he'll be here soon."

Zhang Fan: "Okay."

After a sleepless night of cultivation, Zhang Fan relaxed and suddenly felt an unprecedented fatigue and hunger.

He swallowed all the Qi-boosting pills, which instantly relieved his fatigue.

With his chest pressed against his back, he really wanted to eat.

Fortunately, Li Chunyan cooked quickly, and the meal was ready in no time.

Li Chunyan cooked a large pot of porridge, intending to eat it all day.

Zhang Fan ate bowl after bowl of porridge, finishing the entire pot in one go.

Li Chunyan looked distressed and said, "You have such a big appetite, you must have been starving before."

Just as Zhang Fan was about to explain, Li Chunyan suddenly stood up and hugged Zhang Fan's head.

"Sister-in-law, you must earn more money, not only to cure your mental illness, but also to ensure you have enough to eat," Li Chunyan said, her voice trembling with tears.

Zhang Fan's head was pressed tightly against Li Chunyan's chest, and he could clearly feel the two soft mounds and the vibration of her chest as she spoke.

A drop of warm liquid landed on his head. Zhang Fan looked up and his face was directly facing Li Chunyan's two peaks.

"Don't move, let me hold you for a while."

Right now, a whole host of things are piling up at once.

The village is suffering from drought; not only can businesses not operate, but lives are also threatened.

Li Chunyan was filled with anxiety about the future, fearing that something might happen to her and she would die before Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan eats so much, he'll definitely be disliked by others. What will become of him in the future?

Li Chunyan's emotions collapsed in that instant.

Her eyes were filled with heartache and reluctance, as well as fear of the future.

"Zhang Fan, last night Aunt Pang said that some people are saying that half of the people in our village will die in this natural disaster. Your sister-in-law is afraid that you will leave, and she is also afraid that she will die before you. What will you do alone?"

Zhang Fan let Li Chunyan hold him and gently comforted her, "Sister-in-law, no one in the village will die."

After crying, Li Chunyan felt much better. She lowered her head and placed a kiss on Zhang Fan's forehead, with boundless blessings: "Zhang Fan, you must live on."
