Chapter 165: Finally Reunited!

“Can we? Can we really cultivate? Can you check if I have spiritual roots?”

Jiang Dai blinked expectantly.

Why not?

Who wouldn’t want to ride the clouds, summon wind and rain, and roam the world with a sword? Even in a post-apocalyptic world, people dream of having superpowers to fight zombies in a spectacular fashion.

The allure of such mystical and mysterious powers is almost irresistible.

Seeing his mother so excited, Bai Yunqi couldn’t help but swallow nervously, scooting back a bit.

He was genuinely afraid that his mother would rush over, grab his shoulders, and start shaking him to death.

“Probably… not possible.”

Jiang Dai asked, “What if it’s not just ‘probably’?”

Bai Yunqi: …

It was clear that his mother truly wanted to cultivate.

But…

“Mom, here, take this gold.”

Fine, if she wants to try, let her try.

“Alright!”

Jiang Dai immediately got up and fetched a piece of gold from another corner. “What’s next?”

Bai Yunqi took the gold with one hand and touched Jiang Dai’s wrist with the other.

“Mom, don’t move. I’m going to circulate Spiritual Energy through your body.”

Jiang Dai nodded, cooperating fully, her eyes filled with reverence.

Bai Yunqi’s mouth twitched slightly. Being admired was nice, but this situation felt a bit awkward.

Absorbing the Spiritual Energy, Bai Yunqi calmed himself and carefully guided the Spiritual Power through Jiang Dai’s body.

Then, Bai Yunqi fell silent.

Cultivate? What a joke!

Her meridians were thin and fragile, completely blocked. Without medicinal pills to assist in Marrow Cleansing and Meridian Washing, she might end up harming herself.

Thinking about it, Goudan’s body was quite exceptional. Being young, his meridians hadn’t fully formed, were more resilient, and had fewer impurities.

Moreover, Bai Yunqi was a powerful cultivator. After years of cultivation, cleansing his own marrow and washing his meridians was a simple task.

But in this barren world, where even Spiritual Energy was scarce, and his family had never learned any cultivation techniques, he dared not experiment recklessly.

His own strength didn’t mean he could help others with Marrow Cleansing and Meridian Washing.

After all, his own power was forged through the harsh training of his sect, where he was beaten nearly to death and revived with pills, only to be beaten again.

Now, he couldn’t subject his family to such treatment.

Upon learning she couldn’t cultivate, Jiang Dai wasn’t too disappointed.

After all, she had already crossed over to another world and met someone from the Immortal Cultivation world. That in itself was a delightful surprise.

And that someone was her eldest son! How amazing!

Jiang Dai quickly realized something.

She looked at her eldest son. “So, do you need a lot of gold?”

Seeing his mother hit the nail on the head, Bai Yunqi quickly explained:

“As long as I don’t use a large amount of Spiritual Power, I don’t need that much gold. But, to be honest, jade contains more Spiritual Power.”

He was afraid that if he used too much money, his family might kick him out.

No way!

He didn’t want to leave!

It’s rare enough to have one person reincarnate into another body, let alone an entire family. This meant they had great fortune.

He wouldn’t leave this auspicious place.

Besides, his parents were quite interesting, more so than most locals here.

In the world of Immortal Cultivation, fate is everything.

A pleasant fate is a good one.

An unpleasant or oppressive fate is a bad one.

Cherish the good, strike hard against the bad!

…

Claiming to go out for some sweet soup, Bai Tian, with three kids in tow, soon encountered Mu Zhaoyuan approaching quickly.

“Eldest Brother Bai, I am Mu Zhaoyuan. Thank you for your help in saving Mu Hu.”

Mu Zhaoyuan not only expressed her gratitude verbally but also handed over a small, slightly heavy cloth bag filled with silver.

Bai Tian declined, “I can’t accept this. We’re all family! Besides, Brother Hu Zi was saving our child! How can we take anything from the Mu Family Army?”

Mu Zhaoyuan assumed he meant the military and civilians were one family, just as she was about to speak, a child reached up and took the silver from her hand.

“Dad, if she says take it, then take it. No need to be polite.”

Bai Yunxing earnestly told his father.

Mu Zhaoyuan: ???

Where did this child come from?

So impolite? Although the silver was indeed meant for the Bai Family, this approach…

Bai Tian, watching his unabashed second son, twitched slightly at the corners of his mouth, wanting to say something but holding back.

【After all, the person in front of him was his second son’s cousin in spirit. Perhaps this was just their way of interacting.】

【But they haven’t officially reunited yet. Is this alright?】

Thinking it wasn’t right, he still honestly accepted the silver.

Juanjuan, witnessing this, thought to herself: …

She knew this was called saying one thing and meaning another.

She wasn’t the same Juanjuan as before. She had been attending school and secretly learning a lot from her parents and brothers.

But it wasn’t enough; her parents and brothers were too clever.

She had to study harder.

“Eldest Brother Bai, which one is Bai Yunxing?”

With the silver matter resolved, Mu Zhaoyuan began inquiring about Bai Yunxing.

Mu Hu had told her that Bai Family’s Bai Yunxing was an informant for the Mu Family Army, and supposedly under her command.

But how could she not know she had an informant in Taoyuan County, and one who was only six years old?

How reckless must she have been to use a six-year-old as an informant?

Yet Mu Hu believed it!

Today, she intended to see for herself who this Bai Yunxing really was!

“Look, here he is. Yunxing, call her sister.”

Bai Tian took the initiative, even speaking with a double meaning.

Calling her sister indeed! A cousin is also a sister!

Mu Zhaoyuan: …

“He should call me aunt. Calling me sister isn’t appropriate.”

And this was Bai Yunxing? The child who naturally took the silver from her hand and handed it to Bai Tian?

Bai Yunxing glanced at his father, then at his cousin, and sighed. He really didn’t want to reveal this to his cousin.

The fewer people who knew about this, the better.

But now, it couldn’t be avoided.

【When I told Mu Hu, I mentioned being an informant under the sixth sister. Now the main person is here.】

Under everyone’s gaze, Bai Yunxing looked at Mu Zhaoyuan and uttered four words.

“Sister, Cloudfall Pendant.”

At these words, Mu Zhaoyuan’s expression changed, her sharp eyes fixed on Bai Yunxing.

How did this child know about the Cloudfall Pendant?

Only her brother and little twelve knew about this!

Watching the confrontation between the siblings.

Bai Tian was delighted: 【Here it comes, here it comes! The reunion is starting!!!】

Juanjuan glanced at her father holding her tightly, then curiously at her second brother and the pretty sister!

If her brother called her sister, then she should too~

No problem!

Bai Yun’an, seeing his father and sister so happy and excited, could only shake his head helplessly.

He wondered how things were going with Eldest Brother, and at the same time, he refined his Plan B a little further.
