The plan for the year begins in spring, and the plan for the day begins in the morning.
In this small town, on every street and alley, around seven or eight in the morning, men, women, and children eat and drink, chatting and laughing in twos and threes. This beautiful, warm, and peaceful scene touches the hearts of busy commuters, prompting them to slow down and enjoy the most refreshing and pleasant moment of the day.
In front of a breakfast stall, the steaming aroma wafts for miles, attracting many passersby to stop and admire. The saying goes, "A minor hermit hides in the wilderness, a middle hermit hides in the city, and a great hermit hides in the court." The drooling expressions of passersby further highlight the delicious food, which remains hidden amidst the bustling marketplace.
A small table and a long bench were set up. Ji Xiaoxiao was in the middle, Bai Yiliufeng was on the left, and Bai Yiliuyun was on the right. The little girl, who was neither too big nor too small, took care of the two small, chubby boys herself. Some elderly men and women couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
"Sister, where's Mommy? Xiaofeng wants Mommy to hug him." Bai Yiliu Feng grabbed Ji Xiaoxiao's arm and shook it hard, almost making Ji Xiaoxiao vomit up the soy milk and fried dough sticks she had just eaten.
Ji Xiaoxiao was momentarily stunned when she suddenly heard the twins asking her about Tie Aimei's whereabouts.
Mom? By the way, where did Tie Aimei go?
"Xiaoyun wants one too! Xiaoyun wants her mom too! Sister, give it to Xiaoyun quickly!" The two brothers were no ordinary people; one after another, they made so much noise that Ji Xiaoxiao couldn't concentrate on her thoughts.
After much effort, Ji Xiaoxiao calmed the twins down, and the three of them held hands and went home. The journey was winding, but once home, Ji Xiaoxiao gave Bai Yiliu and the others some toys to play with, while she sat quietly to the side, recalling the original owner's memories and contemplating the current situation.
After Qian Cai discovered that the twin brothers possessed the ability to turn stones into gold, there was no further information about Tie Aimei in the original owner's memories. It was as if Tie Aimei was a powerful and elusive master, appearing and disappearing like a dragon in the wind.
She quickly reviewed the original owner's memories again, and just like the first time, after the five-year-old innocent twins demonstrated their ability to turn stones into gold, Tie Aimei seemed to have vanished into thin air, and no trace or news about her could be found anymore.
It's highly illogical for a living person to simply disappear. Moreover, her biological mother's unexplained disappearance seems to have been accepted as normal by Bai Xueqing, who shows no sadness or distress, nor has she gone to great lengths to find Tie Aimei. Her daily routine remains unchanged: she eats, drinks, and sleeps as usual, carefree and without parents.
Unable to find any clues or make any sense of the situation, the bizarre developments seemed to have led to a dead end, with a large wall blocking Ji Xiaoxiao's advance. With her two little bundles of joy and prone to causing trouble, Ji Xiaoxiao had no time to spare and could only attend to the immediate situation.
After playing with the twins for a while, it was noon in the blink of an eye. After a quick lunch, Ji Xiaoxiao finally managed to coax the twins to sleep before she could calm down and cultivate the "White Lotus Holy Technique".
To save her twin brother, the original owner gave up her beloved painting and devoted herself to scientific research. Ji Xiaoxiao did not believe that the twins' ability to turn stones into gold was a disaster. After traveling through several worlds, she realized that extraordinary talent was a blessing bestowed by God.
To ensure her twin brother's lifelong happiness and peaceful old age like an ordinary person, the original owner's path was blocked, so Ji Xiaoxiao sought another way, which resulted in her having to work hard to improve her own martial arts skills.
For Bai Yiliufeng and Bai Yiliuyun themselves, their abilities are both fortunate and unfortunate. Once people learn that "turning stone into gold" is no longer just an idiom, it will be a huge disaster for the twins who have no background or ability, and they will be destined to never have the chance to turn their lives around.
Having already envisioned the worst possible outcome for the twin brothers, all Ji Xiaoxiao needed to do was make herself a threat to a nation, or even the entire world. With the deterrent effect of a human weapon, those who coveted the twins' extraordinary abilities would have to reassess their capabilities and carefully consider whether they could withstand the bitter consequences of Ji Xiaoxiao's wrath.
With a plan in place, Ji Xiaoxiao acted swiftly. A month passed quietly, and Ji Xiaoxiao, now in the body of a thirteen-year-old, had already cultivated the "White Lotus Sacred Technique" to the second stage of Body Shaping. Compared to before, Ji Xiaoxiao's progress was nothing short of miraculous.
However, this peaceful period was short-lived, and the tranquil environment for cultivation was eventually disrupted.
"Qingqing, Mom is back." On their first wedding anniversary, Tie Aimei, who had been traveling with Qiancai for a month, returned home with a bright and shy smile, dragging her suitcase.
"Hmm," Ji Xiaoxiao replied indifferently.
The original owner didn't have much affection for Tie Aimei and believed that Tie Aimei should bear some responsibility for the tragedy of her twin brothers. If Tie Aimei had been more resolute and independent, would her family of four have needed to live with Qian Cai? If they hadn't lived together, Qian Cai might not have noticed the brothers' unusual behavior, and none of the subsequent events would have occurred.
Tie Aimei paused, whether out of carefree abandon or she was simply naive, she patted Ji Xiaoxiao's head and enthusiastically inquired about all sorts of trivial matters concerning Ji Xiaoxiao and the twins. Ji Xiaoxiao prioritized the original owner's feelings; since the original owner disliked Tie Aimei, she wouldn't contradict her. She dutifully acted as a daughter, concisely answering all of Tie Aimei's questions.
After a round of warm greetings, the two-story house returned to its usual somber and quiet atmosphere. Ji Xiaoxiao, no longer accompanied by the twins, appeared casually in the living room. Whenever the twins needed help, Ji Xiaoxiao would go to the trouble of personally taking them to the park, silently watching them play games with other children their age that adults couldn't understand.
Another two weeks passed, and summer vacation was coming to an end. Ji Xiaoxiao was preparing to go back to school. Worried about the twins, Ji Xiaoxiao repeatedly and earnestly instructed Tie Aimei to take good care of them before school started. Tie Aimei smiled and casually agreed. Unexpectedly, three days later, Tie Aimei ran to the school crying, saying that the twins were missing.
