Zuo Haijia shook her head, "I don't know, Xiaoya, you eat first, Mom will go open the door."

Zuo Qingya nodded as she ate, "Okay."

The door opened, and a strange woman stood outside, her eyes darting around and sniffing the air. "Sister, are you making sweet and sour pork ribs? My husband loves them. Could we have some?"

Zuo Haijia looked at her like she was crazy, too lazy to even acknowledge her, and simply closed the door.

Zuo Qingya asked in confusion, "Who is Mommy?"

"She's a lunatic, ignore her."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door was knocked on again, bang bang bang bang bang... the knocking was so forceful, it seemed as if it was driven by anger.

Zuo Haijia waved her hand impatiently, shutting out the noise outside the door. The air became quiet.

"Okay, Xiaoya, you can continue eating!"

"Okay, Mom, you should eat some too."

"good!"

Zhu Xiaoying, who was outside the door, was furious. She knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to open it. She stomped her foot and even spat on the ground.

"Pah... Who is this person! Has no manners at all? All I wanted was some meat, and they won't even open the door. How stingy."

I returned home angrily, and as soon as I took off my shoes, I heard a man's voice coming from inside the house.

"Xiaoying! Have you gotten the meat yet?"

"I got nothing! I only asked one question, and she just locked me out." Zhu Xiaoying said, leaning against Xu Cheng's chest.

“Honey, I’ve observed these past few days that only a mother and daughter live there. I’ve inquired and found out that the woman is a space-age ability user, but I don’t know about her daughter yet; she probably doesn’t have any abilities.”

"How about..." Zhu Xiaoying made a throat-slitting gesture.

Xu Cheng felt a tickle in his heart, "We'll talk about their business later, let's do ours first."

"Ugh... You're so annoying."

After it was over, Xu Cheng held Zhu Xiaoying in his arms and began to plan the fate of Zuo Qingya and the others.

Zuo Qingya felt very satisfied after finishing her meal.

"Mom! Do you know what I did last night?"

Zuo Haijia asked in confusion, "What did you do?"

"Hehe, Mom, I went on a mission. You know what? In just a moment, I've been in the mission world for days."

"And I even saw a mermaid!"

"A mermaid?" Zuo Haijia asked in confusion.

Zuo Qingya nodded: "Yes, mermaids are quite beautiful. They look like Westerners. I touched their scales, and they're similar to fish scales, but quite hard."

Zuo Haijia listened to Zuo Qingya recount her experiences in the mission world. She seemed to really enjoy it; she used to be such a homebody! She'd only go out to find food. Now she's much more cheerful. It's just that she doesn't know if the system is good or bad. From what she's observed so far, the system seems good, but what about the future?

Zuo Qingya's mouth was dry after she finished speaking, and it was getting dark. When it was time to eat, Zuo Haijia made three bowls of noodles, one for each of the two people and the beast, and Hu Zi's was a super large bowl.

After eating and drinking her fill, Zuo Qingya just wanted to lie down and didn't want to go anywhere.

"Ah... it's still more comfortable lying down."

Gradually, Zuo Qingya entered into cultivation, and Hu Zi, who was lying outside the door, also began to cultivate.

The night was dark and windy, perfect for murder and robbery. Xu Cheng and Zhu Xiaoying crept furtively to the door of Zuo Qingya's house.

Zhu Xiaoying's special ability is to create a smoke barrier. A pipe-like stream of smoke seeped through the crack in the door. Zhu Xiaoying and the others counted the time, and when it was enough, they quietly opened the door and went inside.

The villa was quiet, and their breathing could be clearly heard.

Just when Zhu Xiaoying and the others thought they had succeeded, the lights in the hall came on, and Zuo Haijia stood calmly at the entrance, greeting them.

"Hi!"

Zhu Xiaoying and the others were so frightened they almost knelt down, but when they saw only Zuo Haijia, they straightened their backs.

Enraged, Xu Cheng launched an attack. His superpower was fire-based, and he rained fireballs on Zuo Haijia as if they were free.

Zuo Haijia stood there, motionless, but no matter what, the fireball didn't hit her. It was as if there was some kind of barrier around her, causing the fireball to dissipate as soon as it hit her.

Zhu Xiaoying has now completely turned into a humanoid machine that spews smoke. Smoke is coming out of her eyes, nose, pores, and any other opening. She wants to use the smoke to kill Zuo Haijia, but no matter how she uses her powers, she can't touch Zuo Haijia.

Xu Cheng and Zhu Xiaoying realized they had run into a brick wall and wanted to retreat, but it was too late.

Zuo Haijia smiled slightly and waved his hand. Zhu Xiaoying and Xu Cheng stared wide-eyed, completely unable to believe that they were dead just like that.

Zuo Haijia closed the door and returned to her room, acting as if nothing had happened.

The next day, Zuo Qingya felt refreshed and had no idea what had happened the night before.

"Mom, good morning! What are we having for breakfast today?"

Zuo Haijia pointed to the bowl in front of her and said, "Let's eat noodles."

"Mom, did you get up early today?"

Zuo Haijia nodded: "Mm..."

Looking at Zuo Haijia's outfit, Zuo Qingya asked suspiciously, "Mom, are you going out today?"

Zuo Haijia continued to nod: "Mmm..."

Zuo Qingya quickly swallowed what was in her mouth. "Mom! I want to go too."

"Yes, I've been waiting for you."

"What should I prepare?"

"No need, there's enough space."

"All right!"

After breakfast, Zuo Qingya put Hu Zi into her backpack and went out with Zuo Haijia.

"Mom, where are we going?"

"Let's find a place to cultivate. The spiritual energy in the city is too thin and not suitable for us to cultivate."

"All right!"

"We need to get stronger quickly. Those reclusive cultivators should be coming out around this time."

"Okay!" Zuo Qingya obediently followed behind Zuo Haijia.

"Mom, should we say hello to Uncle Fang and the others before we go out? Sister Chunyuan said she'd make something delicious, but I haven't had any yet!"

"Just say what you want to eat, don't use Uncle Fang as an excuse."

"Hehe, Mom knows me best."

Zuo Haijia affectionately poked Zuo Qingya's head. "You!"

"Hehe..." Zuo Qingya rubbed her head, which had been poked by Zuo Haijia, with a fawning expression.

Let's go!

Where to?

"Go to You Chunyuan's house."

"I know my mom loves me the most."

"She has a sweet tongue."

When they arrived at You Chunyuan's house, Zuo Haijia knocked on the door.

Who is it?

The door opened, and there was You Chunyuan's pretty face. Looking past You Chunyuan, they found Xu Jianfang and the others were also there.

"You're all here!"

"Little sister, come sit here." With that, Wang Haofa shifted his position, making room for Zuo Qingya to sit.

You Chunyuan waved her hand: "Go away... Who wants to sit with a big guy like you? Of course, the little sister will sit next to me." As she spoke, she pulled Zuo Qingya to her seat.
