The Water-Fire Lotus lost control and fell. Swaying, it finally dropped into a forest on a hillside.

Although it landed, it didn't stop; like a giant red house, the huge bud kept vibrating.

It moved very rhythmically, initially slowly, and gradually sped up, accompanied by a sound that made one's heart race coming from inside.

Fortunately, there was no one on this hillside, only birds and beasts.

Finally, after shaking for a long time, the Water-Fire Lotus stopped. After staying still for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, a voice came from within, "Feiyan, are you hungry?"

"Hmm, I am a bit hungry!" Zhao Feiyan's lazy voice came through.

"Okay, you open the Water-Fire Lotus, I'll send the Patterned Beast out to catch some wild animals, and then I'll make you a barbecue..."

"That won't do, no, not wearing clothes..." Zhao Feiyan said shyly.

When they hurriedly escaped from the lakeside, they didn't have time to put on clothes, so they could only flee stark naked.

"No worries, there's no one here!" Wang Xiaoqiang said.

Zhao Feiyan glanced around through the bud nervously and seeing indeed no one was around, she opened the Water-Fire Lotus.

Once the Water-Fire Lotus opened, Wang Xiaoqiang sent the Patterned Beast outside, and it went hunting for prey, following its master's intent.

The Water-Fire Lotus closed again.

Zhao Feiyan leaned against Wang Xiaoqiang's chest, closing her eyes to rest. Although she was a cultivator and her physical qualities far exceeded ordinary women, she had just come of age, and couldn't endure such frequent motion. Moreover, controlling the Water-Fire Lotus was a mentally exhausting task, so she was also extremely fatigued.

Wang Xiaoqiang placed his hands on her fragrant shoulders, infusing her with Water and Fire Element Spiritual Energy as a supplement.

Zhao Feiyan, however, stopped Wang Xiaoqiang by catching his hands, saying, "Little Qiang, we're facing life-and-death danger now. You shouldn't waste Spiritual Power on me, otherwise, when the great enemy arrives, you won't be able to cope."

"Hmm, alright!" Wang Xiaoqiang withdrew his hands, saying, "After eating, I'll send out an avatar to buy clothes, and you protect me while I cultivate to rapidly enhance my cultivation base."

"Okay," seeing how considerate and ambitious Wang Xiaoqiang was, Zhao Feiyan was very happy and instinctively gave him a peck on the cheek.

The Patterned Beast quickly returned, having caught a wild chicken and two wild rabbits. Wang Xiaoqiang let Zhao Feiyan stay in the Water-Fire Lotus to rest; he slipped out of the bud, swiftly plucked the fur from the game, and roasted them in his palms using Fire Element Spiritual Energy.

Soon, the fragrance spread around.

Wang Xiaoqiang brought the roasted wild chicken and rabbits back into the bud for him and Zhao Feiyan to share. Wang Xiaoqiang also retrieved wine from the Sumeru Ring to drink. With meat, wine, and a lovely companion, it was like an immortal's life.

"Hey, Little Qiang, how did you learn this?" Zhao Feiyan asked curiously while eating the delicious wild game.

"Back when I was on Earth, I was a farmer. After school, I'd hang out with my buddies, and we'd steal food from the fields—sweet potatoes, potatoes, chickens, ducks. Not daring to take them home, we'd roast them in the fields. Gradually I mastered the barbecue skills, but the stuff back then was nowhere near as good as now. Heat control wasn't easy then, now I can roast with Fire Element Spiritual Energy, controlling the heat however I please, without burning anything..."

Listening to Wang Xiaoqiang's story, Zhao Feiyan's face lit up with longing, saying, "Little Qiang, if there's a chance in the future, you must take me to Earth!"

"Sure, I'll definitely take you there!" Wang Xiaoqiang said, stuffing a chicken leg into Zhao Feiyan's mouth, while Zhao Feiyan stuffed a rabbit's hindquarters into Wang Xiaoqiang's mouth; they playfully fed each other.

"Have some rear!"

"Haha, how did you know I like eating the rear! Mmm, delicious. After the rabbit's, I'll have yours..."

"You're terrible!"

After eating and drinking their fill, Wang Xiaoqiang sent an avatar to buy clothes.

The avatar separated from the main body, left the bud, and flew into the sky.

Wang Xiaoqiang's main body had the Patterned Beast keep watch, then Wang Xiaoqiang prepared to cultivate.

Suddenly...

The Patterned Beast let out a warning roar.

Wang Xiaoqiang and Zhao Feiyan looked outside through the bud and saw over a hundred people rushing at them, maintaining a formation as they advanced.

In the sky, a figure stood, using force to project their voice, angrily shouting, "Wang Xiaoqiang, you killed my Sect of Strange Formations disciple and kidnapped my disciple Cheng Jin. What is your intention?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately knew it was people from the Sect of Strange Formations. Using force to project his voice, he shouted back, "Is it Li Moqi?"

Li Moqi waved his hand, halting the Hundred Spirits Array's attack. The Hundred Spirits Array stopped abruptly as they approached.

Li Moqi descended, stopping thirty feet above the Water-Fire Lotus, his eyebrows raised, "That's right, it's me."

"Li Moqi, when I pacified the North Pole Gate, you lent troops to Fan Changfeng, a sect leader assigned to the North Pole Gate, to deal with me. Your disciples were inadequate and died at my hands. It was their fate, and you acted without justice. Now you come seeking revenge so ignorantly..."

Li Moqi's face flushed red, momentarily speechless. He finally swallowed, saying, "You killed my disciple; I can overlook that, but I must investigate the kidnapping of my disciple!"

"Your disciple Cheng Jin willingly submitted to me, showing that you command them with authority but no kindness. They no longer wish to follow you. You should introspect and correct your errors instead of demanding me to hand someone over," Wang Xiaoqiang said with a cold smile, glancing at the hundred disciples of the Sect of Strange Formations who were ready to attack.

Wang Xiaoqiang's words had a profound impact on these disciples.

As Wang Xiaoqiang said, Li Moqi, as the sect leader of the Sect of Strange Formations, exercised authority without kindness towards his disciples, consuming the sect's cultivation resources for personal gain, misusing his position, coercing female disciples, forcibly breaking up several couples in love, leading to discontent among his disciples. They held back their anger out of fear, and now Wang Xiaoqiang spoke what was in their hearts, causing immediate destabilization of the troops' morale and unity.

Upon hearing this, Li Moqi knew Wang Xiaoqiang was trying to sow discord. He immediately raged, "Pfah, Wang Xiaoqiang, who do you think you are, to lecture me?"

"I have no intention of lecturing you, nor do I need to. I'm merely admonishing you on behalf of your parents, on behalf of the antecedent ancestors of the Sect of Strange Formations, and on behalf of the ten thousand brothers of the Sect of Strange Formations..."

Wang Xiaoqiang spoke with righteous indignation and generously.

From Cheng Jin, he learned that Li Moqi was a dim and unprincipled sect leader, thus using this to sew discord. If he could subdue them without a fight or even assimilate the Sect of Strange Formations, it would indeed turn disaster into fortune.

These words further stirred the Hundred Spirits Array's hundred disciples, who began to feel grateful to Wang Xiaoqiang and instead harbored hostility towards Li Moqi.

However, they dared not openly defect to Li Moqi, because if they failed, they'd be branded as traitors to the Sect of Strange Formations and face dire consequences.

Li Moqi knew that Wang Xiaoqiang wasn't one to be trifled with. Initially, he merely intended to compel Wang Xiaoqiang to release Cheng Jin and reconcile grievances, but didn't anticipate Wang Xiaoqiang's divisive tactics. He dared not speak further, instead ordering, "Wang Xiaoqiang, obstinate and foolish. Quickly kill him!" (Want to know more exciting updates about "Superpowered Farmer"?
