Chapter 582: 582 ready
I’ve thought about learning this, but it’s someone else’s livelihood, and even if you use the same ingredients, you might not achieve the same taste.
Shao Huade is also particularly accustomed to eating, and both of them ate a lot. Of course, when others overeat, it’s not noticeable, mainly because they naturally eat a lot.
So they spent the entire afternoon outside.
"I didn’t expect Xiao Su to be so unrestrained at times."
"Yeah, I couldn’t resist. By the way, Mr. Shao, I need the car tonight."
"Am I going to be your driver?"
"No need, I’ll drive myself over."
For dinner, there was a digestively light porridge, but it was especially delicious.
Su Yuanyuan set off with more than six hundred dumplings.
She knew Shao Hongming was a meticulous person, so she really drove to Taolin Port. She also informed the old village chief, as they were leaving the next day, and any discoveries could be reported to the sanatorium.
After leaving Taolin Port, there were still some dried shrimp in the car.
The next day, around noon, Zhang Chunsheng sent someone over, not just with a recommendation letter, but also requesting some supplies and food to be prepared.
Shao Huade watched from the side, "This Zhang Chunsheng is really thorough, and Zeng Zhenqing truly has a good right-hand man.
By the way, when are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow morning."
This way, Shao Huade didn’t say much, as he was reluctant for his son to leave. He was too busy, and being able to spend these days with him was already very difficult.
Shao Hongming was waiting for his elder brother to come over. Although it was safe here, the elderly were unsettled. Having someone nearby was comforting.
The cook prepared buns with the filling that Su Yuanyuan liked. There were over a hundred of them.
There were also dozens of pancakes, which were convenient for eating outside.
In the evening, Shao Hongming’s elder brother arrived. He appeared rather rugged, but in front of his father, he behaved obediently.
In the morning, noodles were prepared for them. Su Yuanyuan felt much more comfortable after eating her fill.
The three of them set out. Driving was Shao Hongming’s assistant.
The two of them chatted casually.
Things were also calm on Tan Shaoting’s end, which made him increasingly uneasy. Moreover, he and his son had not encountered many cultivators.
Did they have some news, so everyone went elsewhere?
Tan Shaoting watched the children hunting demon beasts ahead, and he definitely wouldn’t interfere; nothing is more important than the children.
In truth, he and his son had accumulated a lot. If there wasn’t additional storage space, the spirit grass would already be too much to carry. There were also many demon beast corpses.
Although first-tier demon beasts weren’t worth much, there were plenty of them.
Now, the children were still having a hard time against second-stage demon beasts. After all, age was a factor. Despite having high cultivation, their bodies couldn’t keep up.
If there’s still no sign of returning, let the kids pause their cultivation progress, practice swordsmanship, and study the Four Arts.
"Dad, there must be something good over there," Qi Wen said excitedly.
Tan Shaoting looked in the direction pointed by his daughter. He didn’t notice anything unusual. Ahead was a pool of water.
However, his daughter had a Water Spirit Root, and if she said there was something good, then it must be true. Moreover, his daughter was particularly excited now; it should be something beneficial to her Spirit Root.
"Let’s go over and take a look."
Tan Shaoting became more cautious, mainly because it was too quiet here. The kind of quietness that makes one feel uneasy.
This actually wasn’t a good thing. But knowing that his daughter had a chance, if he made her give it up, he was afraid it would affect her in the future.
The father and his three children arrived at the side of the pond, "Dad, don’t you think it’s especially beautiful here?"
"Quite beautiful."
"Dad, I feel it’s below the water."
"Alright, let’s all go down and take a look together. You three, don’t be nervous. Follow me, activate your Protective Shields. If your Spiritual Power is insufficient, come to me."
The three were no longer cultivation novices; they understood a lot.
The father and his three children slowly submerged, and the calm surface of the lake remained undisturbed. It was still as beautiful as it was earlier.
The further down Tan Shaoting went, the more uneasy he felt. In the lake, there was a sense of weightlessness. It didn’t feel like being in water at all.
So he used his Divine Sense to remind the three children again, instructing them that if anything goes wrong, he would quickly take them away.
Nothing is more important than life. Chances and such are secondary.
"Dad, is the lake that deep?"
"We should be almost there." Tan Shaoting wasn’t sure, but he had to reassure the three children.
Tan Shaoting suddenly felt his Spiritual Power seemed to be absorbed by something. Without saying a word, he immediately drew his three children to him. At this time, his Protective Shield vanished.
He was now sinking directly towards the lake’s bottom, truly feeling the pressure.
However, they weren’t at the bottom yet and had to continue diving down.
The pressure grew more intense, and when he felt almost unable to bear it, he reached the bottom.
Looking around, he felt less uncomfortable. After discussing with the children in his space, he released them.
In the minds of the three young children, their dad had shielded them from all danger.
"Dad, I feel like it isn’t here, like it’s still further below."
"Yeah. That’s very normal, you three must pay attention. Since you feel it’s further below, it must be the path down.
And be careful. A demon beast is coming. Do you want to try it underwater?"
All three children nodded.
A Big Fish Monster approached them, but father and children didn’t recognize it. They knew it was already Second Stage Middle Stage. The three combined should barely be able to manage it.
Qi Wen was the most agile underwater. The little girl didn’t have the same discomfort as her dad and brothers.
The Big Fish Monster was extremely fast. Its mouth opened wide towards the three children.
Tan Shaoting was concerned about the children, fearing they’d be harmed by the powerful suction.
The three children had figured out that attacking could serve as defense.
In this unfamiliar environment, the three children had already agreed, following the suction in, and at close range, launching their attack simultaneously.
Qi Yan had the strongest Divine Sense, so he was in charge of the Divine Sense Attack.
But since their levels were the same, the Divine Sense Attack only momentarily paused the Big Fish Monster.
It nonetheless allowed Qi Hong and Qi Wen to seize the opportunity.
They were still using wooden swords, which, while not of any grade, were weapons they’d grown accustomed to.
They still managed to inflict damage on the Big Fish Monster. The lake bottom stained with its blood.
After a successful strike, the two retreated quickly.
Tan Shaoting watched from the side, feeling quite proud. The three were indeed triplets; their instinctive coordination was inherent.
