Chapter 1487

After a while, his mother also sent a message, asking what he was busy with; if he had nothing to do, come back to the city to meet, as they hadn't seen him in a long time.

Xiao Feng replied: "I'll go back in three days; I have some things to take care of."

He promised Xiao Mi to accompany her for three days; he cannot go back on his word, otherwise this obedient little maid would be very sad.

The game time ratio is large; waiting three more days is actually just a few hours; besides, he can chat with friends first, so it doesn't matter.

The two elders thought he had a mission to attend to, so they didn't say anything more.

However, not knowing if it was because of the mother-son bond, Xiao Feng was thinking of Xiao Mi in his heart, and his mother immediately said: "When you come back, bring all your girlfriends to meet us, you little rascal; you can't just take without acknowledging, meet the parents, so the girls can have some confidence."

Here the emphasis is on the plural "them", carrying a reproachful tone.

Xiao Feng instantly wilted.

This...

Bring them all to meet?

What if they start fighting—what then!

The girls around him aren't all of one mind; the few he knows offline are fine, getting along well with each other.

But NPCs and players... they can't possibly get along!

Moreover, to be honest, he really fears that too many people will scare his parents!

They could fill an Eight Immortals table!

"Ah, my head hurts."

Xiao Feng pounded his solar plexus.

"How are you, master?" Xiao Mi asked with thoughtful concern.

"It's nothing..."

He responded, then said to his mother: "Well... in real time, we've only been dating less than three months, so there's no need to rush meeting the parents. If you have free time, you can go to my Chai Chai Cheng to hang out; if you happen to meet them, you can say hello—making it too formal would make them shy."

"You little brat, I can tell you're feeling guilty!"

Mother Su Yuxia let out a soft hum, instantly saw through his little tricks, then questioned: "Come clean, have you been fooling around again? I'll beat you with a big board!"

"I'm innocent, Mom; your son has been honest lately, spending all day in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield leveling up, not sleeping or eating, losing a dozen pounds." Xiao Feng quickly played the victim, using his health to change the subject.

Upon seeing his level 515, rising faster than a rocket, and considering he bears the responsibility of driving the whole region's development, his mother instantly softened again.

She then replied: "Honesty is fine... after all, you shouldn't let down the girls who are willing to be with you. Normally, you should also look after your health, don't just play games all day; exercise when you should, eat when you should..."

Then she went on with a long string of talk.

Xiao Feng obediently agreed, daring not to voice any opinion.

After a while, he finally hung up the chat and continued on his way.

On the way, he looked at Xiao Mi, secretly pondering how to tell his parents that he had also developed feelings for an NPC.

Actually, strictly speaking, the NPCs in the Myriad Heavens world are not merely virtual data; they are not much different from real people, possessing emotions and thoughts, only hard to meet in the real world.

If one day he becomes powerful enough to become a Dao Ancestor, then the NPCs here could take whomever they wanted.

After shifting and flying all the way, a full twelve hours passed before Xiao Feng and the female war god arrived near the Melting Gold Mountain.

The Spiritual Barrier outside Melting Gold Mountain remained, but now that he was a chief god, he needed no personal greeting from Baba Wuli; he could simply charge in.

Xiao Mi had long heard of the title of the First Divine Artisan; it was she who initially guided Xiao Feng here to forge equipment.

But this was also her first time coming to Melting Gold Mountain; she had never personally seen the legendary First Divine Artisan whose forging skill is said to be the highest.

The two's passage through the Spiritual Barrier's fluctuation quickly drew a response from the master of this place.

A flash of light appeared, and a Chief God who looked about the size of a small boy, his whole body wreathed in flames, appeared before the two.

Baba Wuli: 980 level

After not seeing him for a while, this Divine Artisan had actually risen five levels, bringing him closer to the God King Realm.

"Xiao Feng warrior, it's you. Oh, this person is……"

Baba Wuli's temperament is rather cold, but the attitude toward the God King-level materials that Xiao Feng provided him is still quite good.

He had never met Mi; at this time Mi was no longer the Chief God of War, lacking the heart of war, so his aura was hard to discern.

Xiao Feng introduced, saying: "Senior, this is the former Chief God of War, my closest friend, Mi. Little Mi, this is the first Divine Artisan, Baba Wuli."

"I have seen you, senior."

Mi clasped their fists in greeting; although wearing a skirt, they still habitually used a warrior's etiquette to greet strangers.

Baba Wuli was a contemporary of the first Chief God of War; his seniority far exceeded that of Little Mi by many generations, so he merely gave a slight nod in greeting and said, "Let's go sit at the tavern; Xiao Feng warrior, you broke through to become a Chief God in such a short time—those little fellows will surely want to celebrate for you."

Speaking, he directly used divine power to bring the two, shifting them to the cave entrance at the Molten Gold Mountain Base.

Erde Si, Aju La, and the other Chief Gods had indeed lived quite a long time, but before Baba Wuli they could only be considered "little fellows."

Arriving at the cave mouth, the three together passed through the spatial barrier and entered the tavern space inside the mountain.

A stretch of green land and a lake appeared ahead; the tavern was situated by the lakeside, transmitting sounds of laughter and merriment, as well as a poet's singing.

"These fellows really have endless drink and endless chat." Hearing these familiar sounds, Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh.

Baba Wuli said: "Although it's noisy, it also has more liveliness, so it's not too desolate."

This old Divine Artisan, though obsessed with forging, cannot possibly be hammering things every day; his idle time is often greater.

He does not like making friends, yet he enjoys protecting the weak.

Many of these drunkards are refugees who fled to the depths of the Elemental Sea, and he protected them; some even broke through here, counting as his half-disciples.

In the midst of speaking, someone from the tavern side had already seen them through the window.

A group walked out of the tavern, holding beer cups, wine barrels, grilled meat, and other things as they came out to greet them.

"Divine Artisan senior, Xiao Feng warrior, haha, and there's a beautiful lady!" Erde Si's short, stout body let out a booming voice as he laughed heartily.

"Come on, come on, today there's another newly opened fine wine!"

"Xiao Feng warrior has actually become a Chief God—how delightful and congratulatory!"

These drunkards are all enthusiastic; before the person even arrives, they've already filled his cup, sending a large cup to Xiao Feng and Xiao Mi.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone."

Many people were congratulating Xiao Feng on his breakthrough; he also felt awkward being too cold, so he accepted it and downed a large cup.

But one cup wasn't enough; E'erdesi and others kept sending cup after cup to him, and he drank six large cups in one go before finally getting a breather.

Mi Jinchi refused, but couldn't resist the enthusiasm and also drank a cup.

Later someone laughed and asked, 'Xiao Feng warrior, did you bring any tasty wild beasts this time?'

Xiao Feng checked the storage space in his Great Sumeru Ring; there were still some rations left for Da Bai, so he took out two medium Main God-level wild beasts and had them roasted for everyone to eat.

"Tsk tsk, with Xiao Feng warrior around, we truly never have to worry about good food!" Everyone sighed.

Xiao Feng smiled: 'There's also drink; I brought some strong wine back from the Battle Qi God Realm, everyone come try it.'

Saying that, he took out thirty barrels of Blazing Flame Heartburning Liquor and laid them out on the ground.

"Wow! So much!" In an instant, everyone became even happier, and the whole tavern space was filled with laughter and cheer.
