Chapter 723: Could It Be That Our Family Has Fallen on Hard Times?
Bai Xiqin touched the Mandala Flower on her wrist, feeling increasingly calm.
The Mandala Flower and the Mutated Climbing Vine are both mutated plants, capable of splitting into the main body and replicas.
Part of them take root and grow in space, while another part rests on the owner’s wrist, aiding the owner in battle.
Bai Xiqin only felt the scent emanating from the Mandala Flower growing stronger, capable of confusing the brains of enemies and zombies, yet she didn’t realize how much the Mandala Flower had grown beside the Fusang Tree!
The leaves and branches of the Fusang Tree and the Mutated Mandala Flower gently stretched toward Bai Xiqin, full of vitality.
Bai Xiqin is the master of the space, as well as the Mandala Flower tree’s master, and they are very fond of her.
"Sis, what are you all doing here?"
Bai Yifan walked over leisurely, holding a freshly peeled egg in one hand, while the other hand was rubbing his belly.
He had no idea what had just happened.
All he knew was that the eggs tasted quite good, and he’d eaten all the eggs that the family hadn’t wanted!
Everyone turned their heads to look at Bai Yifan as he approached, and their expressions changed instantly.
Absolutely not human!
A celestial being!
"You, you still want to eat something? I’ll make it for you tomorrow."
Bai Anhai had a very strange expression on his face, even with a hint of... politeness.
"Xiao Fan loves meat, how about we slaughter a sheep and a pig tomorrow morning for him to eat as he pleases?"
Bai Zhengxuan rolled up his sleeves, ready to head to the animal pen for a "massacre" later.
This grandson can be raised!
Must raise him nice and plump!
It’s also a contribution to humanity!
Bai Yifan’s hand twitched as he listened to his dad and grandpa, almost dropping the egg to the ground.
Is it necessary?
He’d only sneaked a few eggs, no need to scare him like this.
The scene was almost reminiscent of the time he was criticized by the whole family for scoring ten in his English exam!
Bai Yifan quietly stuffed the egg in his hand into his mouth, swallowing it down in two bites, then hid behind Bai Xiqin.
"Sis, could it be that our family is falling into ruin?"
Can’t even afford eggs?
They’re not phoenix eggs, so why are grandpa and dad so... upset?
"Cough cough, nothing’s wrong! Grandpa and Dad just suddenly thought you’re on the verge of becoming immortal!"
Bai Xiqin had rarely seen grandpa and dad being so polite.
"What?"
Bai Yifan was instantly shocked!
Are they planning to beat him to death and send him riding a crane westward?
My God!
Is the family really going bankrupt?
Is it the space that’s failing, or is it dad and grandpa?
"Xiao Fan, are you cold when you sleep at night? I remember we have a lot of new blankets in stock, let’s throw away the ones your sister used, I’ll get you five new blankets!"
Liu Jing’s face was full of kindness as she spoke, even feeling the urge to tuck Bai Yifan in at night.
"Xiao Niu’s little rabbit slippers shouldn’t be for Xiao Fan anymore, let him pick a new pair in space! If there’s nothing he likes, I’ll take him outside to pick!"
Wang Yiyun also had the expression of a loving mother.
"Don’t throw away the old blankets and slippers, I can use them. I can even help Xiao Fan with his blankets at night!"
Leng Yebai quietly added.
"Sis, ... I’m scared."
Bai Yifan wailed, hiding behind Bai Xiqin, even more terrified.
What’s happening!
Even his favorite little blanket and beloved little rabbit slippers are being taken away!
Do they plan to expel him from the family to fend for himself!
"It’s a long story, let’s discuss this later. For now, I want to ask you, do you think these Fusang tree leaves can be eaten directly?"
Bai Xiqin picked a leaf and waved it in front of Bai Yifan.
Her gaze was fixed on Bai Yifan, hoping he would give an explanation.
Fusang leaves have potent healing properties, but whether humans eating them directly can resist the zombie virus is unknown.
Zhang Yiming had eaten Fusang leaves, but they didn’t eradicate the zombie virus, and he hadn’t eaten the ones with Mandala patterns on them.
To find out clearly, it all depended on "Prediction Brother."
Bai Yifan felt the looming gaze from all directions, as if it would burn a hole through him.
"I think, if I won’t be expelled from the family, these leaves can be eaten!" Bai Yifan gulped.
Not to mention eating the leaves like a sheep, he’d even bleat like one if it came to that!
"Rest assured! We definitely won’t make you a live-in son-in-law!"
Bai Anhai made a firm resolution.
Wang Yiyun also nodded emphatically in agreement.
Bai Yifan: ???
When was there a decision to make him a live-in son-in-law?
And what prompted the abandonment of this idea?
"Oh my God! Sis, what are you doing!"
When Bai Yifan was still in shock, Bai Xiqin stuffed the Fusang Tree Leaves into their mouth.
Without a hint of hesitation.
"Uh—"
Bai Xiqin waved a hand, their face twisted for a moment.
"It’s nothing, just a bit nasty!"
It’s the worst thing Bai Xiqin has ever eaten.
"I’ll eat one too!"
Bai Anhai directly grabbed a handful of Fusang Tree Leaves and distributed them to everyone.
To Bai Yifan’s amazement, Bai Anhai handed him the tenderest leaf.
Before Bai Yifan could stop them, the Bai Family had thrown the distributed Fusang Tree Leaves into their mouths.
Leaves that can resist the zombie virus, no matter how bad they taste, must be eaten.
Next was the Bai Family’s big facial transformation show, they just had a smile on their faces, but now their expressions froze instantly.
It looked as if they had eaten poop.
Bai Yifan, holding the tender green leaf, was stunned by the family’s actions.
Eyes filled with tears.
Terrified to tears.
"Sis, is it really that bad?"
At this moment, Bai Yifan felt very helpless, was the family planning to commit mass suicide?
Just because he ate a few more eggs?
"Thanks to you, the experiment succeeded! Fusang Tree Leaves can resist the zombie virus, hurry up and eat!"
Bai Xiqin patted Bai Yifan’s shoulder with purpose and determination.
As the most accurate prophet in human history, they must ensure his safety.
Can’t have him turning into a zombie, roaring away.
That would only give Xiao Ming another capable minion, wouldn’t it?
"What?"
Bai Yifan was shocked.
The experiment succeeded, and it was related to him?
He just ate a couple of eggs, he knows nothing!
Without thinking much, Bai Yifan directly swallowed the leaf.
His sister wouldn’t lie to him, whatever she says is the truth!
...Just that, this stuff really tastes bad.
Bai Yifan recalled what he said at the dining table earlier, suddenly he understood something.
He was just speaking off the cuff, whatever came to his mind he said, completely illogical, how was it so accurate?
Is that why his dad and the others were suddenly acting like caring parents?
Maybe...give it a try?
"Ahem, Dad, I’d like to eat braised prawns tomorrow."
Bai Yifan put his finger to his lips, speaking tentatively.
Braised prawns are difficult to make, normally only when his sister, mom, or grandma wants them, they’ll be cooked.
"Eat! I’ll make it for you tomorrow morning!"
Bai Anhai wiped the drool caused by eating Fusang Tree Leaves, decisively nodding.
"Grandpa, I want to eat Buddha Jumps Over The Wall!"
Bai Yifan continued ordering food.
"Sure, I’ll start simmering it tonight, let it cook slowly overnight, just in time for your breakfast tomorrow morning."
Bai Zhengxuan nodded, smiling without a trace of hesitation.
Bai Yifan blinked.
Understood.
His family status has skyrocketed.
He can now walk straight!
"Tsk tsk!"
Bai Yifan clicked his tongue twice, he had a bold idea, grinned cheekily,
"Xiao Hai, my shoulder’s a bit sore, come give me a back massage. Xiao Xuan, I’d like to drink the Biluochun you’ve hidden away."
Some people just love flirting with disaster.
"What did you say?"
Bai Anhai rolled up his sleeves, a chilly demeanor as he approached Bai Yifan with malevolence written all over.
Little rascal, one day without a beating and he’s tearing the roof off.
"Braised prawns? I think you’re just a shrimp! Watch me peel your skin off!"
Bai Zhengxuan took off his shoe, running towards Bai Yifan.
Bai Yifan saw his sinister dad and grandpa, let out a small breath.
Then... turned and ran.
This is more like it!
A moment ago, he thought his family was finished, feeling completely uncomfortable!
In the space, three shadows were darting back and forth, interspersed with Bai Yifan’s grimacing sounds...
