Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation Chapter 1883 1038: Oath

Outside the door, the weather was pleasant and sunny, and the fields were lush and green.

This meal lasted for quite a while.

Xue Chuchu remained silent for a long time and then said, "Actually, worrying about how much we lost buying the lotus roots is pointless; we bought them anyway."

Chen Siyu, going along with the host, agreed, "Indeed, it's the middle of the day, and we've already bought them."

Tang Fu was counting the holes in the lotus root slices and had to give up her research upon seeing this.

Xue Chuchu glanced at Tongtong, slightly puzzled as to why she would make such foolish friends.

Was it to highlight her own intelligence? Surely that's unnecessary.

And Jiang Ning, why didn't he correct them, but instead fan the flames?

Xue Chuchu found it incomprehensible and thought his stance was becoming stranger by the moment.

Tang Fu, with a lively personality, was definitely not one to let the conversation die. Seeing the silence, she proactively said, "The environment of your bungalow is quite nice, with a much better view than my villa."

Xue Yuantong sat firmly in the main seat, eating duck feet, and nodded noncommittally, "Of course, we live in a great location."

What villa could even compare to her home.

Tang Fu said, "But it has a downside; if it were a two-story building, the view would be even better."

Xue Yuantong raised an eyebrow, "Both heights have their advantages."

Chen Siyu noticed Tongtong's reaction, as if hitting a sore spot, and a strange thought popped into her head: If someone teased Tongtong about her height while joking about that, she might end up crying!

No way, it's too wicked! Chen Siyu dared not entertain the thought any longer.

Tang Fu responded without thinking, "Once you've experienced the world from a height, you'll find its uniqueness!"

"For instance, when I walk down the street, I can see the tops of most people's heads."

Xue Yuantong was furious, as she was one of the 'most people'.

Chen Siyu wore an incredulous expression: 'Fufu, are you not afraid of dying?'

As the situation saver, Chen Siyu said, "As they say, each has their strengths. If we, seated here, were suddenly struck by an arrow 1.7 meters high, what would happen?"

Tang Fu grimaced, "Face hit by an arrow."

Xue Yuantong kept a straight face, "Unscathed."

Chen Siyu assisted her honor, "Even if you hit a spot at 1.6 meters, what then?"

Xue Yuantong took a deep breath and resumed eating.

Chen Siyu praised, "Not only unharmed, but she can also eat duck, crab, lotus root..."

Xue Chuchu suddenly realized: 'Maybe letting them continue with these silly questions is correct.'

Though hard to admit, a thought popped into her mind, 'Maybe... Jiang Ning is right.'

Noticing Xue Chuchu's micro-expression, Jiang Ning smirked inwardly, 'Three minutes to make a girl see me differently.'

With a reminder from her older sister Chen Siqing, Chen Siyu realized she misspoke, so she recovered her honor again, "Xue Yuantong may not seem strong, but in reality, she has mastered an incredible self-defense technique!"

Tang Fu was confused, "What self-defense technique?"

Xue Yuantong felt the need to regain her dignity.

She stood up from the bench, her small height not imposing, yet filled with an inexplicable aura.

Chen Siyu stood ready to cooperate on the opposite side.

"Huh!" Xue Yuantong suddenly pushed out with one hand, as if silent ripples spread in the air.

Chen Siyu feigned a hit reaction and even let out a cry, leaning against the door.

She had been practicing dance recently, and surprisingly, it looked quite convincing.

Tang Fu was both amazed and unsure.

Xue Yuantong struck a martial arts pose and launched an air strike, "Ha!"

Xue Chuchu: 'Nerves...'

Jiang Ning, watching her perform a pseudo-attacker's excited punch, felt a slight itch in his heart.

At this moment, Mr. Qian rode his beloved tricycle past the door, saw this scene, and clicked his tongue in wonder, "So fancy having performances at your meal."

After speaking, Mr. Qian shook his head, marveling at how young people today really know how to have fun.

Tang Fu realized, "Oh right, are you doing a talent show?"

Xue Yuantong: "Noisy!"

...

Sunday afternoon.

Jiang Ning stood in the small courtyard, his fingers forming a pinch as the Star Storage Stone turned to powder, dispersing like smoke through his fingers.

By nature, he wasn't one to meddle; he merely enjoyed seeking amusement occasionally.

With a flick of his finger, the Spirit Boat popped out and expanded with the wind.

He boarded the Spirit Boat, soaring into the sky, first heading towards the fields around Snowflake Lake.

At the Guanlan Mansion, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of an office on the seventh floor, Shao Shuangshuang, who was reading documents, suddenly sensed something and looked up at the lake view outside.

She smiled brightly.

The thin little girl beside her was puzzled, "Sister Shao, did you see something?"

Shao Shuangshuang patted her head, "You'll find out in the future."

Meizi continued studying her drawing, depicting a national flag with a Tai Chi design and marked with a black cross.

Shao Shuangshuang's reactions naturally couldn't escape Jiang Ning's Divine Sense. After inspecting the array eyes at Snowflake Lake, he also set up some materials before steering the ship back.

During the return journey, a sharp shard of glass floated in front of him.

This was Tang Fu's entry item; of course, Jiang Ning did not have those peculiar hobbies.

With a point of his finger in the air, the glass shard spun like a shuttle.

Having been back for a while, Jiang Ning had mastered the spells of this world to divine perfection, especially this 'Wanxiang Tracking'.

The Flying Boat made a stealthy move, landing in a beautifully serene nursing home.

Grandma Liu was chatting with a few old men and women, and perhaps because an elder's child had a prestigious status, a female caregiver respectfully served tea and snacks.

A thin old man kneeled, sighing, "Ah, I used to be able to run 40 kilometers in one go!"

The old man with a goatee held his back and complained, "In the past, we could take the bus to get an egg, but now I'm old and useless!"

The toothless old lady: "Back then, I was famous over ten miles around..."

Grandma Liu babbled on, "My son passed away early, leaving behind a grandson. It's very pitiful."

At first, the other elderly people found her words a bit fresh, but after a few years, they were tired of hearing them and only found them gloomy.

Grandma Liu finally shouted, "My ill-fated son, I'm afraid he'll suffer down below! Tell me, how much paper money should I burn for him?"

A chubby old man, disgusted, said, "Why don't you go down and accompany him?"

As soon as those words fell, the surrounding elderly looked at him, shocked at his bluntness.

But no one dared to persuade, because this old man even dared to hit the caregivers, everyone was afraid he'd go mad!

Grandma Liu's expression froze, seeming to curry favor, she offered the chubby old man a cup of tea.

Jiang Ning didn't bother watching further, with a flick of his hand, a glass flying shuttle pierced the air instantly, struck through Mrs. Liu's throat.

Mrs. Liu's words suddenly stopped.

Like setting off a firecracker, the surrounding old men immediately exploded, each displaying their skills, agile like monkeys, fleeing in terror.

The peaceful old times suddenly vanished.

Jiang Ning chuckled, "Aren't they quite lively?"

Once the matter ended, he didn't linger, and rode the Magical Ship back home.

After Jiang Ning left, a thirty-year-old sturdy man led several big men, aggressively storming into the nursing home.

Someone shouted, "Brother Tang, can the matter be done?"

Brother Tang's eyes twitched, "Already checked, just do it!"

Moreover, this was Mr. Tang's matter, it had to be done regardless.

Once inside the nursing home, Brother Tang found the staff on duty at the front desk, and reported Mrs. Liu's name.

The staff looked a bit nervous, "Are you her family?"

Brother Tang's expression was serious, "Uh-huh, where is she now?"

The staff sighed in relief, patiently explaining, "She was just taken away by an ambulance, probably won't make it."

Brother Tang was stunned, "Dead?"

"Yeah."

After a while, Brother Tang was perplexed, "Wait, someone died, shouldn't you have a bit of a reaction?"

The staff was puzzled too, "Why would it be surprising for someone to die in a nursing home?"

Brother Tang pondered, "Seems like it indeed."

...

When Jiang Ning returned home, he first checked on Tongtong, still asleep.

He wandered to Chuchu's house.

Xue Chuchu, in a black dress, was sitting at the desk reading, freshly washed hair draped over her shoulders to dry, and Jiang Ning could smell the faint fragrance at the doorstep.

He commanded, "Stop reading, go stir-fry a couple of dishes for me."

Xue Chuchu: "..."

Recalling her mother's instructions before she left, Xue Chuchu felt forlorn, picked up the little hair tie beside her, tidying her hair, exposing a stunning side profile.

After some busy moments, she made three dishes for Jiang Ning to pair with his drinks: cold edamame salad, spicy cumin squid rings, tomato beef fried egg, also baked some pancakes, poured a glass of iced cola, even added ice cubes, because Jiang Ning once said that cola with ice tastes better.

Jiang Ning glanced at her submissive demeanor, whereas if Tongtong were to cook, she'd surely make a fuss, having to undergo Jiang Ning's interrogation before obediently taking action.

But Tongtong had more fun, unlike Chuchu who remained silent all the time.

Jiang Ning commented, "Not bad."

Xue Chuchu stood beside, telling herself internally: 'I owe him a favor, almost repayed.'

Just when Jiang Ning sat down, Divine Sense suddenly detected movement next door.

His figure flashed, standing behind the door.

Just as Chuchu was puzzled, Xue Yuantong swaggered in, "Chuchu, have you seen Jiang Ning? He's actually not at home, really annoying... huh!"

Xue Yuantong looked at the dining table, her eyes lit up, "Chuchu, you've just made food?"

She sat down intending to indulge.

Jiang Ning then lifted the concealment, appeared behind her, grabbed her little ear, admonishing, "Tongtong, what are you doing?"

Having been caught, Xue Yuantong was quite embarrassed, resulting in Jiang Ning pressing her to unwillingly fry two more dishes.

...

After finishing the dinner, Jiang Ning rode a bike to take her to Fourth Middle School for evening self-study.

Nowadays, Principal Yu was extraordinarily delighted, this afternoon, with the gym teacher Gu Wei and Director Wang of the security office, they tested the sports scores of several specialty students on the playground.

Especially Tang Fu's performance, greatly amazed him; after professional training, Tang Fu's results astonishingly improved significantly, truly unusual!

Principal Yu believed that this Tri-city Sports Meet would certainly make Fourth Middle School's name known.

First, capturing the Tri-city, then the entire Hui Province, President Shao expressed to him that if those goals could be accomplished, there would be a special event with the neighboring developed country in the future!

'East meets West, isn't this gonna soar?' Principal Yu seemed to foresee his radiant future.

In front of the entrance of Building 1.

Principal Yu, hands behind his back, gazed at a group of sports students, solemnly saying, "You are the pride of Fourth Middle School, I want to ask you, why did you choose Fourth Middle School in the first place!"

He intended to stir some excitement in the students, to inspire their upcoming training!

Sports student Zhao Jinyang, listening to Principal Yu, the number one at Fourth Middle School, shouted loudly in response, "Because Fourth Middle School is the grand stage to realize my ideals and aspirations!"

Tao Nian didn't hesitate, directly praising, "Because whether training methods or equipment, Fourth Middle School has reached the top national level!"

Hu Mengqing, "Because I love every plant and tree here, this is my home!"

Principal Yu was very satisfied, nodding repeatedly, then looking towards the tall Tang Fu, smiling, "And you?"

Tang Fu tilted her head, rightfully answering, "Because I couldn't get into Second Middle School."

Principal Yu stopped smiling, the atmosphere became terrifyingly silent.

Tao Nian and the others were dumbfounded, darn, how can someone's emotional intelligence reach such a level?
