Chapter 92: Get Down Already!

“What I’m saying is just speculation, but it’s better for you and Brother Bai to be cautious!”

Jiang Dai straightened up, her expression serious. “It’s always wise to be cautious of others. Thank you, Miss Liang, for sharing all this information.”

“Chunlai and Dongqu will stay with you for now. It’ll be easier to send messages if anything comes up. Is that alright?”

Jiang Dai smiled. “Of course, that’s a great help to us!”

Liang Tian’er gave a reserved smile and then stood up. “I’ll take my leave then. If anything comes up, just have Chunlai and Dongqu find me.”

Jiang Dai quickly stepped forward, wanting to see her off.

Liang Tian’er took out a small pouch, which didn’t seem very heavy, and placed it in Jiang Dai’s hand.

“This is the money for the rabbit, and also for the two girls’ meals.”

Watching Liang Tian’er leave to prepare the little rabbit for packing, Jiang Dai murmured softly, “Look at her, only fifteen!”

Bai Tian shook his head in admiration and shock. “Incredible, this place is terrifying. I want to go home!”

He recalled how at fifteen, he was only interested in looking cool while playing basketball and wanted to dye his black hair green to annoy his dad.

Jiang Dai remarked, “Indeed, in every era, there are always some geniuses destined to be the main characters.”

Bai Tian sighed and whispered, “Yeah, I’m just here to make up the numbers!”

…

Inside the house, the adults were talking.

Outside, Juanjuan and her brothers opened the food box in the courtyard.

Inside were osmanthus cake, honey twists, and sugar pastries, the perfect bait for kids.

“Wow!”

Juanjuan exclaimed softly, clearly delighted.

Bai Yunqi glanced down at the treats. 【I never used to eat these pastries, but now I’m tempted!】

Bai Yunxing wasn’t very interested in the pastries. Having grown up in Jingcheng before joining the army, he had already had his fill of them and didn’t care much for sweets anymore.

Bai Yun’an, on the other hand, was eager to dig in. 【Let me taste these ancient pastries, untouched by modern technology!】

Juanjuan pushed the food box to the center. “Brothers, have some.”

Bai Yunqi took a piece of osmanthus cake, and Bai Yun’an grabbed a sugar pastry.

Just as Juanjuan was about to go for the honey twist, a familiar voice called from above.

“Juanjuan! What are you eating?”

Juanjuan, ready to focus on her meal: !!

The honey twist in her hand almost fell back into the box.

Having successfully undergone Marrow Cleansing and Meridian Washing, Bai Yunqi and the mentally strong Bai Yun’an calmly tasted their treats and looked up to find the source of the voice.

On a branch of the big tree next door, Wang Dachui’s figure appeared.

No one knew how the nimble Little Fatty had climbed up there.

But regardless, Bai Yunqi had never gotten along with the neighbor’s kid, Wang Dachui. It didn’t matter why a cultivator would bicker with a child. Ever since arriving here, Bai Yunqi had gradually let himself go.

Swallowing the osmanthus cake, Bai Yunqi shouted at the top of his lungs, “Auntie! Dachui’s climbing the tree!”

Wang Dachui: %&

Juanjuan watched in shock as her big brother shouted, and then Dachui disappeared from the tree in a flash.

Bai Yunqi: 【Asking what we’re eating? Eat nothing! Get down already.】

Juanjuan glanced at her happy big brother and quietly picked up a honey twist.

Before long, Wang Dachui came running over, expertly hopping the fence.

“Juanjuan~”

As soon as Dachui appeared beside Juanjuan, she handed him a honey twist.

“Here!”

Without even turning her head, Juanjuan, with a calmness beyond her years, was busy enjoying her treats, effectively silencing Dachui.

“It’s a honey twist!!! Juanjuan, how did you (munch munch) know (munch munch) I love honey twists!!!”

“Eat up, and maybe it’ll shut your mouth!”

Bai Yunqi glanced disdainfully at Wang Dachui.

Dachui snorted, “Mind your own business! I won’t shut up!”

“Tsk!”

Bai Yunqi rolled up his sleeves.

With a creak, the door to the Inner Room opened.

Bai Yunqi quietly let his sleeves fall and nudged Dachui aside.

Watching this, Bai Yunxing thought his big brother was really…

At a loss for words, truly a country kid.

…

After packing up the little White Rabbit, Liang Tian’er was ready to leave.

The children, along with Chunlai and Dongqu, came to see her off.

Once Liang Tian’er left, Juanjuan tugged at her mother’s sleeve.

“Mom!”

The little one held up an osmanthus cake she had been clutching, her bright, puppy-like eyes filled with the joy of sharing something she loved, waiting for Jiang Dai to take it.

Jiang Dai’s face lit up with happiness as she naturally accepted the osmanthus cake. “Thank you, Juanjuan!”

She didn’t hesitate like some adults, who might say it’s too good for them to eat.

Seeing her mother accept the osmanthus cake and enjoy it, Juanjuan was genuinely happy.

Jiang Dai: 【See, when a child offers you something, just take it. They’re so happy to share with you, don’t make them feel guilty by saying you don’t deserve good things!】

【Look how happy the little one is when appreciated!】

【Besides, this osmanthus cake is quite delicious, different from the ones in the modern world, perhaps because it’s free from technological pollution!】

“Juanjuan, Daddy wants some too!”

Bai Tian peeked out, looking at his little girl with hopeful eyes, trying to gain her favor.

Jiang Dai picked up Juanjuan, looking at her three sons with a smile. “Your father wants osmanthus cake!”

Bai Tian: 【Wait, is that what I meant?】

Bai Yunqi: 【If you want some, go get it yourself!】

Bai Yunxing: “Sure!”

Bai Yun’an glanced at his second brother and also turned to get some. “Second Brother, I’ll get it!”

Seeing his two brothers run off, Bai Yunqi followed without a word.

【These two silly kids! So straightforward, just going to get it like that!】

Juanjuan leaned against her mother’s shoulder, looking up and softly asking, “Shouldn’t Juanjuan get some for Daddy?”

Jiang Dai nuzzled the little one. “No need, he has three good sons!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the three sons came running back, handing their father the treats.

“Dad! Here!”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

Bai Tian took the pastries from his sons, then looked at Jiang Dai with a bit of helplessness and slight resentment.

Jiang Dai, however, gave him a gentle but obviously fake smile: No choice!

Holding her little girl, who had gained a bit of weight recently, Jiang Dai stepped back into the house.

“Juanjuan, come! The things you wanted, Sister Dongqu brought them back!”
