On the dinner table, there were some delicate side dishes, eating the hot dumplings made by Li Mengyao herself, Xia Haoran felt a warmth in his heart for no reason.

"Yes! It's really delicious, a hundred times better than the outside. Xia Haoran swallowed heavily and said with a shake of his head.

In the past two days of going to sea, their group has nothing but to nibble on a few meals of barbecue meat and dry food, and this mouth will fade out of the bird. In fact, with Xia Haoran's cultivation at the peak of the late stage of Jindan, even if he didn't eat for ten days and a half months, it would be fine, but that was not the life Xia Haoran wanted.

Hearing Xia Haoran's praise, Li Meng's heart was as sweet as eating honey.

As the saying goes, "If you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab his stomach." "In today's new society, needlework such as weaving and embroidery has long been a thing of the past, but women should still learn to cook well.

"Haoran, the exam is coming up in a few days, how is it, are you sure?" Li Mengyao smiled slightly.

Xia Haoran was angry for a while when he heard this, rolled his eyes helplessly, and said angrily: "I fainted, what kind of eyes are you? What kind of character is your husband and I, can I be so unbearable, I am still the champion of the national college entrance examination." ”

"Uh...... I'm just talking about it, I'm just talking about it. Li Mengyao obediently stuck out her little tongue and made a grimace, then quickly changed the topic and said: "Haoran, Sister Ling'er asked me yesterday how to arrange this summer vacation, if I want to go out together, I didn't answer her in the affirmative." ”

"After the holiday, you, me, and Xiaobai, the three of us are going to the small world. Xia Haoran swallowed the chew in his mouth and said, "The affairs of the small world cannot be revealed to anyone for the time being, not even our parents." Because once this matter spreads, not only the Gu Wu family, but also the country, will be crazy about it. ”

"Okay, I got it. Li Mengyao nodded, but then said: "Haoran, I can understand that the ancient martial artists are interested in the small world, but on the national side, why is this?"

"You're still too naïve. Xia Haoran stretched out his hand and nodded on Li Mengyao's forehead, and said with a smile: "For the country, whether it is the secret realm itself or the various unknown things that may exist in the secret realm, they naturally hope that it is best to be completely in the hands of the state." ”

Therefore, a relatively independent space, whether it is a legendary cave blessed land or a very barren place, as long as it is not a Jedi full of dangers, the environment can allow human beings to survive, and it is of great use to the country. Because they can transform it into a secret base, many hidden scientific research projects and materials can be transferred to it. ”

"I see. Li Mengyao suddenly realized, and kept nodding her little head.

Subsequently, Xia Haoran roughly talked about the situation of going to sea this time. Li Mengyao's mouth opened wide in astonishment when she heard Xia Haoran talk about the giant red carp that was 145 meters long in the depths of the ocean, and when Xia Haoran mentioned the memory fragment obtained from the blood-colored array, Li Mengyao was even more shocked and unbelievable!

After a long while, Li Mengyao came back from her trance, only to see her hugging Xia Haoran's arm tightly, and at the same time said nervously: "Haoran, you did a very good job this time! According to what you say, the back of that formation is really too dangerous." You promised me that you wouldn't go in and take risks until you cultivated, you know?"

"Yes, my wife, how could I take such a big risk with such a lovely beauty as you? Xia Haoran knew what this girl meant, smiled and stretched out his hand to hold Li Mengyao in his arms, and said softly.

"That's pretty much it. ”

Looking at the most important person in front of her, Li Mengyao's face was filled with a happy smile. Girls, who doesn't like their favorite boy to praise and praise a few words by their side?

"By the way, you have to practice swordsmanship a lot during this time, and when you arrive in the small world, it will be actual combat. Although you are now a mid-stage cultivator of the seventh level of Qi cultivation, you are still very small. In addition, we also have to supervise Xiaobai, and this little thing will not be allowed to be lazy to watch TV in the future. If you go to the small world and be bullied by other people of the same kind, don't come to me to cry when the time comes. ”

"Chirp ......"

After listening to Xia Haoran's words, Xiaobai waved his little paws and screamed at the former dissatisfiedly.

"Resist a fart!" Xia Haoran said angrily: "Just your small body, if you don't work hard to cultivate now, you will suffer when you go in." ”

"Ah?Haoran, didn't you say that the highest-grade spirit beast in the small world is the same as Xiaobai?how could it be ......?" asked Li Mengyao puzzled.

Xia Haoran smiled slightly and said, "It's a very simple truth, under the same realm of fellow practitioners, can the flowers in the greenhouse be compared to the survivors who survived the battle on the battlefield?"

After a pause, Xia Haoran continued: "What's more, even if they are all survivors who survived the battlefield battle, there are great differences between individuals. For example, the big black bear and the little rabbit, which are also at the peak of the second order, do you think they are stronger or weaker?"

"Big black bear, of course. Li Mengyao hurriedly nodded her little head and said.

Xia Haoran shook his head slightly and said, "This is just the thinking of ordinary people. We are cultivators, and we should consider problems from the perspective of cultivators, and then use the thinking of cultivators. Let's take spirit beasts, according to individual ability differences, there are speed type and strength type spirit beasts, and according to racial differences, there are flying beasts. ”

"So, like Xiaobai, if you let go of your momentum and bully some low-grade spirit beasts and pretend to be okay, if you throw it into a spirit beast of the same grade and realm, then it will have a hard time. ”

Time flies.

The next few days will be Xia Haoran's exams in the second half of the university year. Of course, this is just a piece of cake for Xia Haoran. Soon, a few quiet days passed.

"Time flies so fast, a year has passed in the blink of an eye. On the street, Xia Haoran took Li Mengyao's little hand and said to himself with emotion.

After the final exam a few days ago, it marked the end of Xia Haoran's first-year college studies.

According to the usual practice, a group of more than a dozen people sat together for a casual meal, and then went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers. Originally, Zheng Kai and the others still wanted to stay in the capital and everyone could play together for a few days, but when they knew that Xia Haoran and Li Mengyao had other arrangements during the holiday, they reluctantly went home one by one.

It must be known that if Xia Haoran is missing the backbone of the team, the group of them will not be able to have any interest.

"yes. ”

Li Mengyao held Xia Haoran's hand tightly, and said sweetly: "Looking back, everything seems like yesterday. However, a lot has happened this year, and it has been really rich and fulfilling!"

"Uh......"

Xia Haoran was slightly stunned, and then touched his nose, as Li Mengyao said, a lot of things have indeed happened this year.

For Li Mengyao, this year was like the first year she returned from Huashan, from an ordinary person to a powerful cultivator, and this transformation directly subverted her previous values and worldview.

It's like if someone suddenly says 'the earth is spherical' one day, and it turns out that this new inference is still true, what is your state of mind?

For Xia Haoran, this year has been more colorful. Get acquainted with the ancient martial arts world, join the ninth game, build a business empire, cultivate a younger brother, and explore the secret realm...... This pile, one by one, is full of such incredible and novelty, but it really happened.

"Okay, don't sigh anymore, let's continue shopping, and make a big purchase if it's good." Xia Haoran shook his head lightly and said with a slight smile.

"Well, keep shopping!"

Li Mengyao's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, and she nodded happily and said. Girls love to go shopping, it's natural.

Next, the figures of Xia Haoran and Li Mengyao appeared in supermarkets or shopping malls from time to time, in order not to attract everyone's attention, they purchased some in each supermarket, hurriedly stuffed them into storage rings where no one was, and then continued to kill the next shopping mall......

Finally, when the two came out of the last supermarket, everything they should buy and prepare was available. There is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing that you can't buy.

Li Mengyao put her arm around Xia Haoran and asked, "Haoran, are we going back tomorrow?"

Xia Haoran nodded, glanced at Na Nizi gently, and said softly, "Yes, I'll go back tomorrow afternoon." In the morning, I'm going to go to the base, get the recruits in place, and then we'll go home. I went back to stay with my parents for two days, and then I set off directly. ”

"Okay. ”

Li Mengyao replied and nodded gently.

The next day, Xia Haoran appeared on time at the training base in the suburbs.

"All assembled!"

Soon, forty people stood in front of Xia Haoran in unison, and their eyes when they looked at Xia Haoran at this time were full of fiery and incomparable respect.

"I announce: This is the end of the first phase of the special training. Xia Haoran's gaze swept over the faces of the forty people in front of him, and said with a smile: "I am very pleased, you have performed well this month, and you have basically achieved my expected goal." The rest of the day is for you to relax and adjust. Early tomorrow morning, someone will send you to the designated location to assemble and begin the second phase of the month-long special training. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" shouted in unison.

Xia Haoran turned around and nodded to Wang Zhen next to him and gave way to his position.

"My name is Wang Zhen, and I will be in charge of taking you to your next destination. Wang Zhen took a step forward and said in a deep voice: Next, I will say one thing: tomorrow at five o'clock in the morning, pack your respective bags and gather here......
