HBBMAWH Chapter 127

The fox tried hard to remember, but just couldn’t recall. However, the fox was certain that it wasn’t his first time encountering this big two-legged creature in this place. After the training period in the tea mountain, the fox’s memory had improved a lot, and some forgotten things were vaguely coming back.

Where is it? The fox wanted to think it over again, but the human child had already grabbed it and thrown it out. The little two-legged creature was very annoying, and he even complained about its smell.

Jiang Manyue carried his son to wash his hands with a look of disgust on his face.

“So dirty. Keke, you can’t play with the fox anymore, it’s stinky.”

Qingke nodded, understanding. He brought his hands to his nose and sniffed, hmm, it was a bit stinky indeed. Father loved cleanliness, he didn’t like stinky things, so Keke didn’t want to be stinky either. Let’s wash a few more times, so the baby would be clean, and father would give him kisses.

After washing his hands clean, the little one went to show off his white and tender hands. Showing it to Jiang Manyue up and down, pressing both hands against his face. Jiang Manyue graciously kissed both the palm and the back of his hand in a dignified manner.

Qingke, who received kisses from his father, then bounced off to find his other father. But the other father was too busy to pay attention to his eldest son, sitting on a stone bench and wiping the leaves on the second son.

How could Qingke give up so easily? With his chubby little body, he climbed up onto the stone bench as high as his chest, swaying and almost falling onto Yan Cai’s legs.

Yan Cai quickly caught him.

“You little rascal, be careful. What do you want, huh?”

Qingke giggled but didn’t speak, just patted Yan Cai’s face with his hands. The clueless father didn’t understand the little one’s gesture, obviously not paying attention to the interaction between Jiang Manyue and his son, completely engrossed in his own world.

Yan Cai looked at Jiang Manyue in confusion, silently asking his with his eyes.

What’s our son doing?

Covering his mouth, Jiang Manyue laughed twice and replied with his eyes.

He’s asking for a reward after washing up.

Yan Cai had an epiphany and realized that Qingke’s hands had obviously been freshly washed, white and even a bit fragrant. Jiang Manyue was meticulous; even when washing hands, he would carefully lather the soap to create foam, cleaning them thoroughly.

Qingke is naughty, so it was quite normal for his hands to get a bit dusty. But these chubby, white and tender little hands with a hint of fragrance clearly came from Jiang Manyue’s care.

The son, relentless, raised his hands and brought it to Yan Cai’s mouth, so the other father had to give it a little peck. Satisfied, the son felt immensely proud of himself.

The baby is clean, the baby was a good baby.

Qingke was so proud that he moved back and forth on Yan Cai’s lap and was extremely naughty. Seeing the slow growth of the second sapling on the table, Qingke propped himself up on Yan Cai’s arm, half of his body leaned against the stone stool, staring at his little sibling.

“Hey! Brother! Listen to me!”

Qingke flicked the second sapling’s flower bone with his chubby index finger. The flower bone swayed for a while before stopping. Yan Cai felt like shouting for help! What to do if the eldest and second doesn’t get along? The eldest always wanted to flick the flower of the second.

Yan Cai stuffed the eldest son into Jiang Manyue’s arms and carefully examined the second sapling. Fortunately, the second sapling was strong and hadn’t suffered any damage from the flick.

It should be noted that Qingke was quite strong, even Jiang Manyue couldn’t match his strength. The second sapling’s delicate branches couldn’t withstand Qingke’s antics.

“You are the big brother, you must take care of your younger siblings, understand?” Yan Cai earnestly instructed Qingke.

Qingke nodded in confusion.

“Good boy. Big brother must take care of younger siblings, and younger siblings will listen to big brother. You are the eldest.”

Qingke seemed to understand, and thereafter patted the second sapling’s leaves with a solemn air, really resembling a responsible big brother.

Yan Cai nodded with satisfaction, seeing his son being so obedient and being such a model big brother. However, Jiang Manyue seriously doubted whether Qingke’s psychological activity was as Yan Cai imagined.

Privately, Jiang Manyue quietly probed into Qingke’s attitude and finally dug out the truth from Qingke’s mouth.

So, he already considered his future younger siblings as his little underling. The future little brother hadn’t even been born yet, but the big brother was already thinking about how to boss him around.

“Not good.” Jiang Manyue pinched Qingke’s chubby cheeks. Yan Cai walked in and happened to see this scene, immediately giving Jiang Manyue a disapproving look.

“Nonsense. His face is already turning red. Just take it easy! Don’t be too obvious.”

Jiang Manyue: “…” So the key is not to be too obvious? As long as it’s not obvious and doesn’t leave red marks, then it’s okay to pinch him casually, right?

Indeed, Yan Cai was unreliable as a father.

Very early the next morning, they took the second sapling to the lakeside on the tea mountain. This place was indeed the most spiritually abundant and rich. Just by seeing that chubby fox had stayed here for so long and even had its intelligence improved, it was evident that this place was particularly suitable for the second sapling’s growth.

Ordinary people couldn’t actually feel the spiritual energy; they just thought the air was fresh and fragrant. However, for those with supernatural abilities, this was an excellent place for cultivation.

In fact, Yan Cai didn’t actually hope that his supernatural ability could be restored to the level of his previous life; he himself knows that this is impossible. No matter how strong the spiritual energy here is, the environment was different from the apocalypse world of his previous life.

Moreover, there was no danger here like in the apocalyptic world, so there was no need to cultivate to such a high level. Protecting his family was enough.

As soon as Qingke arrived on the mountain, he was like a dog released from its cage, jumping around and chasing the wild rabbits in the mountains. Yan Cai and his sons were special supernaturals, possessing the genes of the devil tree. They didn’t even need to cultivate intentionally; as long as they breathed, they could absorb spiritual energy.

And the second sapling that was brought to the top of the mountain were obviously growing greener. Yan Cai also needed the spiritual energy of this mountain, so he also sat down to meditate.

The chubby fox followed behind Qingke, although there was no danger in the mountains, it was still assigned as a bodyguard. The chubby fox scratched its belly. The rabbits and pheasants in the mountains all submitted to it, so there was no danger.

However, a fox must lower its head under the eaves. It was still eating Yan Cai’s food and could only fulfill its bodyguard duties by following behind the beloved and playful Qingke.

Jiang Manyue was the only one in the family who couldn’t feel the so-called spiritual energy.

While Yan Cai entered into his own mysterious world to cultivate his supernatural ability, Jiang Manyue took on the task of taking care of the second sapling. Jiang Manyue held the second sapling’s flowerpot, watching with interest as the second sapling grew.

It wasn’t an illusion; it was really happening—the flower buds were visibly growing at a rapid rate. Gradually, from the size of a plum to the size of an egg, and then to the size of a goose egg…

Jiang Manyue blinked, shook his head, and felt a bit dizzy.

Why did he feel like the world in front of him was swaying? Was he seeing things? No, the world in front of him really seemed to be swaying… as if it was shrouded in smoke, gradually becoming blurry.

The figure of Yan Cai, sitting with his eyes closed in meditation, also seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him…

Author’s note:

the second sapling’s ability is quite special. While Qingke inherited abilities related to attack, the second sapling is completely different.
