Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 3053: What a Coincidence
Previously on Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability...
He realized that it was high time he began picking up these skills bit by bit. No longer could he depend entirely on others feeding him, lest he turn into a deadweight trailing after Big Brother Qian and the rest.
"Sister-in-law, what do you fancy eating? I can slice it up and deliver it right to you."
"No thanks, I’ll grab it myself whenever I’m hungry. You focus on cutting your own."
An Jiuyue had Wei Na ready to clean any fruit she desired, allowing her to simply pluck and devour it without Hong Tianxu needing to slice it for her.
"Move it, guests are due any moment now."
"Got it, heading off right away."
Hong Tianxu replied swiftly and set about slicing the fruit.
No sooner had the fruit been prepared than a band of people approached. Several heads turned upward, and Bai Yan instantly spotted the frontrunner as the Lord of Fan City.
"Lord of Fan City, it’s you! What brings you to the Cloud-Touching Forest with your busy schedule?" he called out in greeting without delay.
Fan City had been plunged into turmoil, prompting White Lion City to dispatch numerous elite fighters for aid. He himself had only just made it back to White Lion City, fresh from viewing the demonic beasts rampaging wildly beneath Fan City’s ramparts.
What on earth allowed the Lord of Fan City to show up in the Cloud-Touching Forest right now?
Furthermore, his eyes flicked to the escorts trailing the Lord of Fan City. Unless he was wrong, those were the Lord’s elite Personal Guard Squad, weren’t they? Why had the whole unit ventured out?
Ah, of course.
How had he overlooked it? Ever since their arrival in the Cloud-Touching Forest, the demonic beasts’ frenzy had died down completely.
He’d assumed it was merely the woods quieting, yet surprisingly, Fan City had also gone free of demonic beast assaults, hadn’t it?
If not, the Lord’s presence here simply wouldn’t add up.
"Ah, Young City Lord Bai."
The Lord of Fan City showed mild astonishment upon spotting Bai Yan.
He hadn’t anticipated finding Bai Yan among the Cloud-Touching Forest group, nor the enigmatic man and woman behind him whose cultivation bases eluded his senses.
Might the sudden halt in demonic beasts’ chaos tie back to that pair?
"Fan City’s crisis has barely eased, and as City Lord, I suspected odd happenings in the Cloud-Touching Forest, so I led my men here to probe. Never thought I’d run into Young City Lord Bai."
A grin lit his face as he drew nearer to Bai Yan.
"Well... ha ha."
Bai Yan chuckled sheepishly, recalling his earlier claim upon departing Fan City that he was returning straight to White Lion City.
True, once back in White Lion City, he had indeed rallied extra forces to bolster Fan City against the demonic beasts, yet here he was in the Cloud-Touching Forest. How could he justify this?
"Pure chance. My father sensed peculiarities in the Cloud-Touching Forest too, dispatching my cousin and me to check it out."
"Oh?"
An eyebrow arched on the Lord of Fan City as his gaze shifted to Hong Tianxu approaching with a platter of fruit.
Years prior, he’d crossed paths with this cousin of the Young City Lord; the memory was hazy, but he could still vaguely identify him.
"Young Master Hong, I presume."
"Indeed, this lowly one, Hong Tianxu, offers his respects to the Lord of Fan City."
Hong Tianxu answered promptly before presenting the newly sliced fruit.
"Lord of Fan City, the trip must have worn you out. Try this fresh-cut fruit. Why not join us for the night? Dinner’s about to be prepared."
Eager stares came from every member of the City Lord’s Personal Guard Squad, a clear sign they’d scarcely eaten during their travels.
