After placing Tongtong on the bed in the bedroom, Xu Fan called Ben Ben to the sofa in the living room to begin inspecting Ben Ben’s cultivation progress.

Due to Xu Fan’s late arrival at today’s kidnapping incident, he had not witnessed the entire process, so he took this opportunity to review the events through the images retained in Ben Ben’s consciousness.

Ben Ben obediently lay down and soon began to snore softly in sleep, into which Xu Fan’s Divine Sense effortlessly immersed.

In Ben Ben’s dream world, an image of Xu Fan, akin to a deity, emerged once again. Upon seeing Xu Fan’s arrival, Ben Ben bent its front legs and lay prostrate on the ground, paying homage to him.

With a wave of his hand, Xu Fan summoned the memories preserved in Ben Ben’s mind, and they flashed through the air like a movie.

The Boxing Champ Cong Lin Bao choked to death from Ben Ben’s bite, Boxing Champ Tai Shan scorched by Ben Ben’s Qilin True Fire, and the confrontation that Ben Ben meticulously held with the Martial Artist San Shui Ge after kidnapping Tongtong, until finally, Xu Fan arrived.

Seeing Ben Ben’s actions, Xu Fan patted him approvingly and said, “Not bad, you showed both courage and cunning in protecting the Young Master. We owe you a lot for today.”

“Woof Woof, it’s this dog’s duty, hahaha.” Hearing Xu Fan’s praise, Ben Ben joyfully rolled on the ground.

“However!” Xu Fan quickly changed the subject, his tone becoming stern.

“Woof… Why do I have a bad feeling about this?” Ben Ben, suddenly alert, rose obediently from the ground.

“In today’s battle, though you protected the Young Master with loyalty, you nearly allowed someone to take him away. No matter the number of reasons, you cannot escape the charge of failing to protect him. As my pet, you represent the face of the Five-Direction Heavenly Emperor. In the Cultivation World, there are no rights or wrongs; weakness is the error, the justification others use to justify slaying you. To be unconstrained, you must improve your own strength, become the strongest, and use that strength to make all those who oppose us tremble, eliminating even the slightest thought of challenging me!” Xu Fan’s commanding voice echoed in Ben Ben’s ears.

“Woof Woof… The master is right, it’s because Ben Ben is too weak.” Ben Ben hung its head, disheartened and woefully vocalizing.

“Recognizing your own problems is good. Although you possess a trace of the Qilin Bloodline, your strength is still too weak. Relying solely on the Qilin clan’s cultivation methods is not enough. Now I’ll transmit to you the dog combat martial techniques of the Swallowing Moon Canine Clan, the ‘Swallowing Moon Divine Technique’. You must practice diligently to boost your strength soon.”

“Woof Woof… Thank you, master. This dog will practice diligently to repay master in the future,” Ben Ben called out loudly to the Xu Fan in the sky.

“Good!” Xu Fan said, transforming the technique into a golden light that he infused into Ben Ben’s mind. Then, with a wave of his hand, he stepped out of Ben Ben’s dream world.

After exiting the dream world, Xu Fan turned and walked into the bedroom where Tongtong was sleeping. Checking the time, he knew that Tongtong should be waking up soon.

Xu Fan sat beside the bed, looking at Little Tongtong’s furrowed brows in her dreams, feeling a pang of heartache. He had just brought Tongtong home a few days ago, and she had already been frightened twice—once by Song Qiang’s Tibetan mastiff and once by the kidnapping incident, both because of that bastard Song Qiang. Smashing him to pieces would have been letting him off too easily.

As Xu Fan was lost in self-reproachful contemplation, Tongtong, shattering the silence of her disturbed dreams, suddenly burst into tears.

“Wuu wuu wuu… Daddy… Daddy… Bad people want to catch Tongtong, Daddy please come and save Tongtong…” Little Tongtong cried on the bed, kicking her legs, her face wet and pitiful, causing Xu Fan’s heart to wrench.

“Daddy is here, right here!” Xu Fan gently leaned over, tenderly embracing his daughter, rocking and comforting Little Tongtong, easing her frightened emotions.

“Daddy…there are bad people…quick, hit the bad people, the big baddie wants to take Tongtong away…” Tongtong clung tightly to Xu Fan’s arm, sobbing continuously in his embrace.

“It’s all right, it was just a dream. Look, isn’t Tongtong in Daddy’s arms? There are no big baddies here. Even if there were, Daddy is like Superman, he’d send the big baddies running with just one hand,” Xu Fan consoled Tongtong in a warm and soothing voice.

“Daddy… will you always protect Tongtong, okay?” After being coaxed by Xu Fan, Tongtong finally stopped crying and said to Xu Fan with a pitiful look.

“Of course, Daddy will always be by Tongtong’s side,” Xu Fan gently kissed Tongtong’s cheek and said tenderly.

“Ben Ben has to always be Tongtong’s little sidekick too,” Tongtong cheekily added.

“Woof Woof… I, Ben Ben, will forever be the most loyal doggy sidekick to my little master!” Ben Ben had awoken from his shattered dreams by now, and at hearing Tongtong’s words, he instantly appeared in front of Tongtong.

“Daddy, when the bad people in the dream tried to catch Tongtong, it was Ben Ben who came to protect me, and he even shot down two bad guys,” Tongtong said, affectionately stroking Ben Ben’s head as he drew closer.

“Ben Ben is Tongtong’s little sidekick, and his job is to protect Tongtong, whether in reality or in dreams, Ben Ben will always take good care of our little princess,” Xu Fan said as he looked at the obedient Ben Ben, giving him an encouraging glance.

“Woof Woof… I will diligently practice the ‘Swallowing Moon Divine Technique’ martial skill you’ve given me, Master, to ensure I will always protect my little master.”

“Tongtong, how about Daddy takes you out for a meal?” Xu Fan said, holding Tongtong.

“Yay, Tongtong’s tummy is hungry,” Tongtong pouted and said cutely.

“Alright, let’s go!” Xu Fan picked up Tongtong, ready to leave the room while Ben Ben was left to practice his martial arts techniques.

At Zhonghai International Airport, a large Boeing 747 jet, with the letter ‘Xu’ painted on its tail fin, slowly came to a halt on the runway.

This jet was not a commercial airline plane but a private jet belonging to one of Dragon City’s four major families, the Xu Family. The interior was incredibly luxurious, featuring bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a small bar and coffee lounge, and even a spacious conference room that could accommodate small meetings for up to twenty people. Only the head of the Xu Family was privileged enough to deploy this aircraft.

Suddenly, a lengthy aerobridge aligned with the aircraft’s door, and three figures slowly walked down from the cabin.

Xu Fangcheng, the eldest young master of the Xu Family, was dressed in branded suits and wore a million-dollar Patek Philippe watch, leading the way. Xu Wentao, the family’s chief steward, dressed in a tailored steward’s uniform, followed in the middle. Bringing up the rear was a middle-aged man in a Sun Yat-sen suit, with sharp eyes.

As Xu Fangcheng walked down the stairs, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes as he asked Xu Wentao, “Have you got the address?”

“Reporting to Young Master, we have it all figured out!” Xu Wentao nodded and responded to Xu Fangcheng.

“Ha ha, the Xu Family’s money isn’t something that a stray dog kicked out of its home can afford to use. This time, I’ll teach him what cruelty is!” Xu Fangcheng walked on, revealing a cruel smile.

“Don’t worry, Young Master, with Iron Hand Master coming out of his seclusion, Xu Fan is definitely finished this time!” Xu Wentao smiled and gestured to the man in the Sun Yat-sen suit behind him as he spoke to Xu Fangcheng.

“Ha ha, good, let’s settle in first, then we can take our time playing with him!” After speaking, Xu Fangcheng headed towards the car that had come to pick them up.

Xu Wentao and the Iron Hand Master hastily followed closely behind Xu Fangcheng.
