Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) novel Chapter 228

The environment and conditions for the growth of the Nine Leaf Ice Flower was also unique in its harshness.

This plant, which contained a frosty energy, had a peculiar characteristic. It required an environment that was scorching hot, so that it could grow gradually. This was the reason why Fade Chen could find the Nine Leaf Ice Flower in the cavern with the subterranean lava river.

He took several deep breaths to calm himself down.

Fade cautiously moved in the direction of the Nine Leaf Ice Flower. He generated some inner Qi and carefully extricated it along with the burning soil and pebbles at its bottom.

Holding the tender shoot of this plant, Fade walked out of the cave in great satisfaction. He found some loose branches and twigs in the woods and created a simple wooden structure. He then placed the Nine Leaf Ice Flower gently in it.

After that, Fade generated more inner Qi energy and directly struck the mountain with force. The rocks came tumbling down in a

huge avalanche, directly burying the passage into the cave. Traces of his entry and exit were erased as well.

After he had dealt with the situation, he felt contented. He placed the small wooden structure into his backpack and then continued with his journey home.

It took around half a day before he arrived at the suburbs of Bay City. Although he was still a few hours' away from the center of town, he felt a sense of homecoming. After all, being in this area already felt close to home.

He took a picture of himself, posted it on social media, and sent a text message, informing of his return.

Not long after he sent the message, he received a shower of compliments. He was asked on his whereabouts, relief and joy was expressed at his return, and jokes were cracked feigning forgetfulness in regards to Fade's identity.

As he read the message, his cell phone suddenly rang. He looked at the number and saw that it was Xenia Xu. He took the call, saying, "Hello, Xenia."

"Dr. Chen, are you are in Mountlong District?" Xenia's clear voice rang out.

"How did you know that?" Fade asked.

"Dr. Chen, you just posted a selfie, which showed the location you are at!" Xenia said, "By the way, Dr. Chen, my home is at Mountlong district. Are you free now? I would like to invite you over for a meal."

"Oh you live so close by!" Fade was surprised. "Well, alright then, where do you stay? I'll be right there immediately."

Xenia chuckled and said, "No worries, I can come over to pick you up."

"Alright, I am currently at... beep..." Fade was going to give her his location in detail, but she had hung up the phone. Fade couldn't help but shake his head. "When did Xenia become so impatient?"

Just as Fade shook his head and sighed, a clear voice was heard from behind him, "Dr. Chen, here I am!"

Fade turned around and realized that Xenia was standing behind him with a smile on her face.

"Well, Xenia, I guessed you noticed me for some time now. Why didn't you come up to greet me?" Fade said with a smile.

Xenia pouted and said, "Dr. Chen, I'm just worried that it's not convenient for you, so I called to ask you first." "How can it be inconvenient for me?" Fade patted Xenia on the head and said with a smile, "Well, let's go then, I'm quite hungry actually. Where will you be treating me?"

Xenia said, "Join me for a meal at my place. Previously, when I returned home, I told my parents everything about you. They have been chatting all this while about you and they would like to have the opportunity to express their gratitude to you. What a coincidence that we bump into each other just now." Xenia said with a smile.

Fade nodded and said, "Alright, let's go to your place then!"
