Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 3178: Is It Okay If I Sleep?
Previously on Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability...
"Little Zhou is correct," Qian Yizheng stated, nodding.
The disciples from the Saintess Sect, concealed in the shadows, would likely not carry numerous items, as such a quantity would make them too conspicuous.
"So, you're suggesting that after we return, we should first investigate the Saintess Sect?" Min Yi inquired.
"That is a plausible course of action."
Unexpectedly, Little Nuonuo, who was supposed to be asleep, abruptly sat up with a jolt and exclaimed.
Qian Yizheng and the others were left speechless: "..."
Had he actually been awake the entire time? Was he privy to their entire conversation from beginning to end?
"You certainly put in a great effort, listening for so long before finally speaking up."
Qian Yizheng reached out, gently patting the little fellow's head with a sense of helplessness. It was as if the child felt compelled to eavesdrop to feel at ease, even though they hadn't prohibited him from listening.
"It seems you're not feeling tired."
"I wasn't tired in the first place; I was merely thirsty a moment ago."
After all, he was a young cultivator, robust and healthy. Merely taking a drink of water had revived him into a lively, energetic baby once more.
"How about we depart right now, defeat them outside the desert, and head directly for the Saintess Sect?" he proposed, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
By leaving alongside these prominent clans from the desert, it was conceivable they might also dispatch individuals to the Saintess Sect. If that happened, their group might gain nothing at all.
Therefore, departing at this precise moment was the most opportune time.
"No."
Qian Yizheng unequivocally denied the young child's suggestion.
Without even glancing at the child's expression, one could discern from his eager tone that he was plotting some mischief yet again.
"Before we exit the desert, we cannot deviate from the Qing Family Clan Guard, and that includes remaining within this carriage," he declared, looking directly at the child and speaking each word with emphasis.
The little child's reaction was: "!"
His scheme to stir up trouble had been discovered by his eldest brother.
He supposed it was acceptable. Following the main caravan out of the desert and then making haste wasn't an impossible plan. As long as they moved swiftly, they could undoubtedly reach the Saintess Sect before anyone else.
"Nuonuo, did you hear what your big brother said? You won't leave the carriage, right?"
Noticing the child's lack of response, An Yi Zhou, unsure of what he was contemplating, lightly flicked his forehead as a gentle reminder.
"I understand, I won't leave the carriage. May I go to sleep now?" The little child, left with no alternative, closed his eyes and resumed his pretense of sleep. If his brothers weren't leaving, he wouldn't dare to venture out alone.
This wasn't due to any fear of being unable to escape the desert. Rather, he was concerned that his brothers might worry about him. Furthermore, his mother had specifically instructed him to heed his brothers' guidance.
He harbored a fear that if the Stone People discovered his disobedience, they might report it to his mother.
Would his mother then descend upon them from the Beast Domain specifically to administer a spanking? It was a distinct possibility, or perhaps the Stone People themselves would be tasked with dispensing the punishment.
"You..."
Qian Yizheng observed him lying down once more, feigning deep slumber, and let out a helpless smile.
"There is another significant reason why we are not leaving the group; it is because the group's provisions are insufficient. In the most dire circumstances, we still possess some food reserves. Though the quantity is not substantial, it is enough to sustain their lives," he explained.
He elaborated.
Upon hearing this, Min Yi raised an eyebrow.
That made sense. He had observed the distribution of food to the people earlier, and it was indeed meager. However, there was a considerable amount of water available.
An Yi Zhou remained silent, merely offering a slight smirk.
Were their food supplies truly limited? The Qiankun Bags bestowed by their mother could each contain an immense volume of items, all perfectly suited for long-term preservation.
These were precautions taken for any unforeseen eventuality. The contents within each Qiankun Bag were ample enough to sustain an individual for two full years.
However, this was a secret he would never divulge. Only his brothers needed to be aware of the capacity of the Qiankun Bags, not even Min Yi.
