"Xiao Lai, show me how it's done once." After giving Xiao Lai a satisfied pat on the head, Han Qiwu stepped aside.
Xiao Lai nodded, its small, shiny black eyes scanning the room before shaking its head.
Han Qiwu understood.
The house didn't have a suitable setting for Xiao Lai to use its abilities.
"Then show me next time we explore the mines. Take a good rest for now." Han Qiwu handed Xiao Lai a Flame Iron Essence as a reward and gently placed it back into its nest.
The lamb leg on the grill was now fully cooked. Han Qiwu took off his shirt and dug into the juicy meat with delight.
After satisfying his hunger, a wave of sleepiness crept over him. Han Qiwu tossed the rubies he had mined today into the sell box, went to the study, flipped through *The Circus Without Horses*, and then drifted into a deep sleep.
As he slept, the corners of Han Qiwu's mouth curled upward, and his injuries began to heal rapidly.
The effects of [Mother Earth] started to manifest.
