Free Web NovelChapter 632: Chapter 632: So-Called Sparring
Leng Yebai and Bai Xiqin didn’t rush to enter either. Instead, they found a hidden spot nearby and entered the space.
Inside the space, the dining table was already set with a feast of dishes.
All prepared by Bai Zhengxuan and Liu Jing.
They always wanted to make lots of delicious food for Bai Xiqin to make up for her three years of hardship.
As soon as Bai Xiqin entered the space, Liu Jing pulled her over and pressed her onto a chair, while Bai Zhengxuan quickly filled Bai Xiqin’s bowl with her favorite foods.
Leng Yebai picked up a big prawn, ready to peel one for Xiao Niu, only to see Bai Zhengxuan had already placed half a bowl of peeled prawns in front of Bai Xiqin.
Leng Yebai silently put the peeled prawn into Bai Yifan’s bowl.
"Thank you, Brother Leng!"
Bai Yifan happily ate the shrimp in his bowl, feeling that having Leng Yebai as his brother-in-law was the right choice.
If it were someone else, they’d surely not bother to help their brother-in-law peel shrimp!
"Xiao Hai, what have you been up to, and why are you sweating so much? Didn’t you stay in the space?"
Liu Jing glanced at Bai Anhai, who was drenched in sweat, looking a bit surprised.
The temperature in the space always remained around twenty degrees, neither cold nor hot, unlike the blazing sun outside.
Being in the space, he shouldn’t be sweating so much.
At this moment, Bai Anhai’s clothes were soaked through, his hair almost dripping water, and he had wiped his face several times with a towel, but he kept sweating.
"I just sparred with Taowu!" Bai Anhai ate two mouthfuls of rice fiercely, "After my superpower was promoted to the fourth rank, I felt I had more energy to control and just burned through it all; now I’m really hungry."
Bai Anhai spoke casually as if it were just an ordinary statement.
Yet it inadvertently boasted a bit.
Fourth rank superpower user.
Impressive!
Bai Yifan quietly poked at the rice in his bowl, suddenly feeling that even the rice from the space no longer tasted sweet.
He had been absorbing crystal cores and felt his strength had increased a lot, yet he always remained at the first rank superpower user level.
So difficult!
He felt the reason he was always at the bottom of the Bai family’s food chain was because his superpower rank was too low.
Heavens!
Please elevate his family status by one rank!
The others couldn’t hear Bai Yifan’s inner plea.
The heavens, too, didn’t hear.
"Yay, yay, yay! Finally, it’s time to eat!"
At this time, Taowu came running over with a large iron pot, shining eyes glued to Bai Zhengxuan.
The feeling of having food ready as soon as you wake up is truly amazing!
"Come, today you get extra, thanks for sparring with Xiao Hai."
Bai Zhengxuan smiled as he looked at Taowu, preparing a large pot of chicken stew with mushrooms for it.
"...Ah!"
Taowu blinked its awkwardly adorable eyes innocently and hurriedly dragged away the big pot with its head down.
This was a sign of a guilty conscience.
Because it couldn’t remember ever sparring with Bai Anhai.
It had just taken a long nap, woke up and came to get food...
"Dad, want to join us later to go out? There are three bad people outside who specialize in trading crystal cores from superpower users’ brains. Want to go do some justice for heaven?"
Bai Xiqin looked at Bai Anhai, who was diligently practicing his superpower, and made a suggestion.
Since they were already at those people’s doorstep, taking Dad out for some real combat practice wouldn’t be a bad idea.
"Sure! Let me recover my superpower after the meal and then we’ll go!"
Bai Anhai glanced at the slightly guilty Taowu and silently ate from his bowl.
He felt too weak.
Even when he exerted all his might against Taowu, it had been like a mosquito bite to it, with no response.
It really hurt his self-esteem!
"Alright, it’s still hot outside now, let’s wait a while!"
Bai Xiqin buried herself in her own bowl of food, eating for ages, yet the mountain kept growing at a visibly fast pace.
Liu Jing, beside her, kept piling food onto her plate, fearing Bai Xiqin hadn’t enough to eat.
"Grandma, I’ve had enough."
Bai Xiqin swallowed the food in her mouth with difficulty, looking innocently at Liu Jing with her moist eyes.
Ever since Grandpa and Grandma awakened memories of the future yesterday, they had been giving Bai Xiqin delicious food, adding dishes, and even wanting to feed her.
Though Bai Xiqin’s appetite was usually pretty large, she found herself fed to the point where she couldn’t eat any more by these two elders.
She felt too stuffed.
Bai Xiqin even suspected her combat power had diminished; she felt full before finishing her meal.
"How come you ate so little? I’ll make you some snacks later, so you won’t be hungry again this afternoon."
Bai Zhengxuan frowned, looking at the full bowl in front of Bai Xiqin, feeling that Bai Xiqin hadn’t touched her meal.
Bai Xiqin: ...
The overwhelming love of grandparents overflowed.
After lunch, Bai Anhai took a bath with the Spiritual Spring Water, washing off all the sweat, and quickly replenished the superpower he had depleted from "sparring."
Around three or four in the afternoon, Bai Xiqin led Leng Yebai and Bai Anhai out of the space.
Wang Yiyun and the others stayed in the space to continue absorbing crystal cores, with nearly everyone except Bai Yifan on the verge of a breakthrough.
As soon as they left the space, Bai Xiqin could feel the heat waves around her.
It was just like stepping out from an air-conditioned room.
The surroundings were quiet, with no cries of birds or beasts, nor the roars of zombies.
Bai Anhai followed Bai Xiqin out through the hidden bushes, immediately spotting a small courtyard in the distance.
It looked like an ordinary farmhouse courtyard.
Probably hearing his daughter say that the courtyard was engaged in trading crystal cores from superpower users’ brains, Bai Anhai felt the place was very sinister.
The three of them slowly approached the small courtyard and soon arrived at its main gate.
The courtyard’s gate appeared the same as before, but the scent of blood was much stronger. Even before opening the door, Bai Xiqin could smell human blood.
Bai Xiqin listened closely but did not hear the roar of zombies in cages inside the courtyard.
If she remembered correctly, some zombies were being kept there, so why was there no sound from them?
Bai Xiqin didn’t have time to ponder as two shadows sprang onto her shoulders.
They were Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing, both obediently looking at her and affectionately nuzzling her hair, eyes sparkling brightly as if wanting to say something.
They even pointed tails toward the inside of the courtyard, looking very excited.
Bai Xiqin didn’t listen to them or wait for the Water Python to translate, instead storing Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing back into the space.
She had them come over to check whether the man in the butcher’s tale wearing a monkey mask was Wang Ge; now she knew, so they didn’t need to guard here anymore.
Anyway, they were here to do justice for heaven.
A Mandala Flower unknowingly twined around Bai Xiqin’s wrist, and as she touched it lightly, its pollen soon began to spread.
Bai Anhai caught a light scent, which cleared his mind and focused his attention well.
The floral scent drifted over the wall, soon covering the courtyard walls inside.
The pollen of the Mandala Flower could confuse both enemies and mutated plants.
Bai Xiqin hadn’t forgotten about the mutated pumpkin vines planted there.
"Boom!"
Bai Xiqin heard the sound of something heavy hitting the ground inside the courtyard.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai exchanged glances, both smelling the scent of fresh blood.
Could it be that the mutated pumpkin vines had turned against their master after smelling the scent?
