Jiang Dai stood on tiptoe and whispered, "Look at how young she is, only fifteen!"

Bai Tian shook his head in admiration and shock: "Incredible! This place is terrifying. I want to go home!"

Back when he was fifteen, all he knew was how to shoot basketballs smartly, and he wanted to dye his black hair green in an attempt to anger his father.

Jiang Dai: "Indeed, no matter the era, there are always some geniuses who are destined to be the protagonists."

Bai Tian sighed and whispered, "Yeah, I'm just here to make up the numbers!"

"I was just guessing, but it would be good for you and Brother Bai to be cautious!"

Liang Tian'er didn't know what the two were talking about, but she was worried that they weren't on guard against Kang An.

Jiang Dai straightened up, her expression serious: "One should always be wary of others. Thank you, Miss Liang, for sharing all this information."

"Let Chunlai and Dongqu stay with you for now, sister. It'll be easier to send messages if anything comes up, is that alright?"

Jiang Dai smiled and said, "Of course it works! This has been a great help to us!"

Liang Tian'er smiled demurely, then stood up: "Then I'll take my leave. If you need anything, please have Chunlai and Dongqu contact me."

Jiang Dai hurriedly went to greet her, wanting to see her off.

Liang Tian'er took out a purse that didn't look very heavy and put it in Jiang Dai's hand.

"This is the money for the rabbit, and the food money for the two girls."

...

The adults in the family are talking inside the house.

Outside, Juanjuan and her brothers opened their food boxes in the yard.

The food box contained osmanthus cake, honey-glazed pastry, and sugar shortbread—a perfect trap for children.

"Wow!"

Juanjuan exclaimed in quiet surprise; it was clear the child really liked it.

Bai Yunqi glanced down at them: [These pastries, I never used to eat, but now I'm actually tempted!]

Bai Yunxing wasn't particularly interested in the pastry.

When I was a child, before I joined the army, I was already tired of sweets in Beijing, and later I didn't like them much anymore.

Bai Yun'an was already eager to get started.

Let me try some ancient pastries, made without advanced technology or elaborate cooking techniques!

Juanjuan pushed the food box to the middle: "Brothers, eat."

Bai Yunqi took a piece of osmanthus cake, and Bai Yunan took a piece of sugar shortbread.

Just as Juanjuan was about to make her move against Mi Sandao.

A familiar voice rang out from above.

"Juanjuan! What are you eating?!"

Curly, who was just getting ready to focus on cooking: !!

The honey-glazed skewer in my hand almost fell into the food box.

Bai Yunqi, who had already successfully cleansed his marrow and refined his essence, and Bai Yun'an, with his strong mental power, calmly savored the taste, while casually looking up to find the source of the sound.

Wang Dachui's figure was visible on the trunk of the big tree next door.

I have no idea how that nimble little fat guy managed to climb up there.

But regardless.

Bai Yunqi had long been at odds with Hammer next door, so he didn't care why a cultivator would bother with a child.

Anyway, since Bai Yunqi came here, he has gradually let himself go.

After swallowing the osmanthus cake in his mouth, Bai Yunqi started yelling at the top of his lungs, "Auntie! Big Hammer is climbing a tree!!!"

Wang Dachui: *%*&

Juanjuan stared in disbelief as her older brother shouted at the top of his lungs, and then Big Hammer Brother vanished from the tree in a flash.

Bai Yunqi: [You're still asking what to eat! Eat my ass! Get out of here.]

Juanjuan glanced at her happy older brother and silently picked up a piece of honey-glazed bread.

Not long after, Wang Dachui came running over, making his way over with practiced ease.

"Curl~"

Just as the sledgehammer appeared next to Juanjuan, Juanjuan handed him a piece of honey-glazed bread.

"Here you go!"

Juanjuan didn't even turn her head, displaying a calm demeanor despite her young age, though she was actually busy enjoying her delicious food.

Shut up Big Hammer Brother's mouth right away and stop bothering her.

"It's honey-glazed sandao!!! Juanjuan, how did you know (chewing) that honey-glazed sandao is my favorite!!!"

"Eat up, eating won't shut you up!"

Bai Yunqi glanced at Wang Dachui and said disdainfully.

Big Hammer snorted: "Mind your own business! I just can't stop it!"

"Tsk!"

Bai Yunqi rolled up his sleeves.

With a creak, the tightly closed door to the inner room opened.

Bai Yunqi silently rolled up his sleeves and pushed the sledgehammer away with a thud.

Upon witnessing this scene, Bai Yunxing could only think, "My brother really is..."

It's hard to explain in a few words; he really is a country kid.
