The next day, Wang Fan slowly woke up, feeling heavy on his body.
Looking down, he saw the women's hands and feet haphazardly draped over him.
He smiled helplessly, gently pried off their hands and feet, and carefully got up, afraid of waking them.
Looking at the women's peaceful sleeping faces, Wang Fan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
With this method to lessen his murderous intent, he seemed to see hope in coexisting peacefully with the murderous intent within him.
At this moment, the morning sunlight streamed in through the window, adding a touch of warmth to the room.
Wang Fan stretched and decided to prepare some breakfast first, so that the women could feel warmth and care as soon as they woke up.
He tiptoed out of the room and went to the kitchen to cook, silently planning what would happen that day.
Just then, Hua Nianci came downstairs, still half asleep.
Seeing Wang Fan busy in the kitchen, she smiled slightly and said softly, "You're preparing so early."
Wang Fan turned around and smiled: "Yeah, I wanted you to be able to eat something hot as soon as you woke up, after all, you were exhausted yesterday."
Hua Nianci walked over, playfully pinched Wang Fan's waist, and said, "You're so good with words, always making fun of us."
Wang Fan pretended to be in pain, cried out "Ouch!" and begged for mercy, "I wouldn't dare to tease you, I was just telling the truth."
Hua Nianci tilted her head slightly and looked at Wang Fan with a serious expression, saying, "Wang Fan, you said yesterday that we could help you reduce your killing intent, is that true?"
Wang Fan replied with certainty, "It's true, why would I lie to you? I can clearly feel the killing intent weakening."
Hua Nianci rolled her eyes at him and said with a hint of suspicion, "Hmph, I'll believe you for now. If you dare to lie to us, we'll see how we deal with you."
Wang Fan put his arm around Hua Nianci's shoulder and said with a grin, "How could I dare, my dear aunt?"
Hua Nianci playfully slapped Wang Fan's hand away, "Go away, you're so unruly."
Just then, the other women also came downstairs.
Su Yalin said with a smile, "Sister Hua, you two are being so lovey-dovey so early in the morning, it's a bit hard for us onlookers to watch."
Qin Xiaoxuan chimed in jokingly, "Exactly, you two should tone it down a bit."
Su Yaqi also chimed in, "You guys really don't waste a single moment."
Xiao Meng covered her mouth, secretly laughing as she watched Wang Fan and Hua Nianci.
Hua Nianci blushed and retorted, "Hmph, weren't you the same last night!"
Wang Fan laughed and said, "We're an old married couple, don't worry about these things."
Then Wang Fan cleared his throat and said, "Alright, alright, everyone stop fooling around and come eat."
Everyone sat around the dining table and began to enjoy breakfast.
While eating, Su Yalin asked, "Brother Wang Fan, what are your plans for today?"
Wang Fan swallowed the food in his mouth and replied, "Today I plan to go to the Skull Cave again with Xiao Hei and Sha Diao. You guys stay on the boat."
Upon hearing this, Hua Nianci immediately objected, "How can that be? The Skull Cave is so dangerous; more people mean more help."
Su Yaqi chimed in, "That's right, we're not comfortable leaving us waiting on the ship."
Qin Xiaoxuan also said anxiously, "Wang Fan, we've been through so much together, if we're going, we should go together. There's no reason for you to risk your life alone."
Looking at everyone's anxious faces, Wang Fan softened his tone and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I'll be fine. Besides, Xiao Meng's injury hasn't fully healed yet, and she needs your care. I'll be right back."
Upon hearing this, the women's expressions softened slightly, but they were still filled with worry.
In the end, the women agreed to Wang Fan's decision.
Hua Nianci stepped forward, straightened Wang Fan's clothes, and said softly, "Then you must be careful and never be reckless."
Wang Fan nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, I'll be careful. You all take good care of yourselves, and Xiao Meng too."
Then, Wang Fan said, "Alright, let's eat quickly, or the food will get cold."
The women listened and silently began to eat, but their hearts were all preoccupied with Wang Fan.
At this moment, to lighten the mood, Xiaomeng said with a smile, "Sisters, don't look so gloomy. My brother is so powerful, he will definitely come back safely."
Hearing Xiaomeng say that, everyone felt a little relieved.
Qin Xiaoxuan gently patted Xiaomeng's head and said, "Xiaomeng is right."
……………
On the way, Wang Fan looked at the halberd in his hand and asked, "Can you really sense it?"
Zhanji replied, "Don't worry, Master. This secret realm is also a place I am familiar with. I will definitely be able to help you find the treasure."
Hearing this, Wang Fan felt a little more at ease and quickened his pace.
Xiao Hei and Sha Diao looked at Wang Fan with puzzled expressions as he spoke to thin air. Xiao Hei couldn't help but ask, "Master, who are you communicating with?"
Wang Fan deliberately scared Xiao Hei, a strange smile appearing on his face.
He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "There's an unseen evil spirit in this place. It said you have delicate skin and was just talking to me about eating you first!"
Little Black was so frightened that its fur stood on end, its tail was tucked tightly between its legs, and it made a low "woofing" sound.
The sand sculpture flapped its wings nearby, bobbing its head back and forth, its eyes full of mockery.
Seeing the sand sculpture mocking him, Xiao Hei bared its teeth at the sand sculpture and let out a low roar, as if to say something.
"What do you know, you big idiot? I'm just being cautious."
Wang Fan smiled and shook his head, saying, "Stop fooling around, we still have to keep going."
As Wang Fan walked forward, he explained, "I was just talking to the war halberd; it can guide us to find the treasure."
Xiao Hei listened, his eyes filled with curiosity.
It circled around Wang Fan a few times, and even sniffed the halberd in Wang Fan's hand.
The sand eagle also flew down and gently touched the battle halberd with its wing.
They looked puzzled. Little Black tilted its head and muttered, "This hard thing can talk?" The sand eagle flapped its wings and let out a few cries, seemingly also expressing its confusion.
Wang Fan said with a smile, "This halberd is no ordinary weapon; you'll find out later."
They nodded as if they understood, but the murderous intent emanating from them still made Xiao Hei and the sand sculpture feel a chill.
The three continued on their way and soon arrived at the cave entrance.
Wang Fan raised his halberd and asked, "Where should we go next?"
The halberd trembled slightly, pointing to a dark and gloomy passage on the left.
Wang Fan took a deep breath and led Xiao Hei and the sand sculpture into the passage.
The passageway was filled with a putrid smell, and water droplets dripped from the walls from time to time, making a "drip-drip" sound.
Scattered on the ground were pale bones, some still stained with blood, a truly horrifying sight.
