Chapter 92 A Strange Dinner



She discovered that her daughter was incredibly strong!

When I hugged her, she felt like she couldn't breathe.

She remembered that her daughter was delicate and frail, and always needed her protection.

But now, her daughter is stronger than her.

Li Lianfang patted Li Youmi's back helplessly: "Okay, stop crying, I can't breathe."

Li Youmi stopped crying and smiled, then released Li Lianfang.

Li Lianfang looked her daughter up and down again: "How are you doing here? Have you been bullied?"

Li Youmi smiled and said, "I'm doing very well here and I'm very happy. How could I possibly be bullied?"

Li Lianfang looked closely at her daughter, whom she almost didn't recognize, and indeed, she didn't seem to have been bullied.

That put her mind at ease.

Li Lianfang then asked, "Tell me quickly, what have you been through these past few days? And how come you are so strong?"

Ji Xian suddenly interrupted, "You can find a place to sit down and talk slowly. You don't need to stand here. I won't disturb you."

Li Youmi immediately nodded, pulled her mother to sit down, and began to recount her experiences.

When Li Lianfang heard that Li Youmi had been sold into slavery and then that she had been rescued by Ji Xian, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Lianfang found Ji Xian increasingly unfathomable.

Ji Xian and Xia Luoxue didn't have a penchant for eavesdropping, so they had already gone to a secluded corner to discuss other matters.

Ji Xian told Xia Luoxue that they had taken in more than twenty slaves today, and they needed to deal with them.

After discussing it with Xia Luoxue, we decided to bring them to be stationed near our home, where they could be used as a defensive force.

Charlotte also said that expanding one's home into a camp or gathering place is indeed safer.

Although she doesn't like living with people in the post-apocalyptic world, it's a different story if they are slaves.

After discussing it for a while, the two decided to take the slaves back the next day.

As for now, it's too late; they need to decide what to eat for dinner.

That's right. In this world, everyone else has nothing to eat, but they have to worry about what kind of food to eat.

As for the presence of an outsider today, the two also had some reservations.

After all, what Ji Xian took out was a secret and could not be revealed.

But Ji Xian thought about it. The slave collar around Li Lianfang's neck hadn't been removed yet, which meant that Li Lianfang was still his slave. At worst, he could just leave it on.

It was cruel.

But she is Li Youmi's mother, and there's no guarantee that Li Youmi won't tell her all the secrets here, which she might then spread.

Moreover, Ji Xian was also worried about whether Li Lianfang, who was lying on the ground, saw anything when she traveled through time.

Ji Xian completely trusts Li Youmi, but he doesn't dare to completely trust her mother.

Now that he had made this decision, Ji Xian decided not to hide it anymore.

Let her know the secret if she wants, but Ji Xian controls her life and death, and I believe Li Lianfang should understand the implications.

Soon, Ji Xian and Xia Luoxue set up an alcohol stove and a hot pot and brought them to the table.

Li Lianfang listened in shock as Li Youmi recounted how Ji Xian had saved her from the brink of death.

She listened with a shocked expression as Li Youmi told her that Ji Xian had given her five intermediate-level gene enhancement drugs.

Li Lianfang was so shocked that she stood up: "That's a mid-level gene enhancement drug, and he just gave it to you like that?"

“Yes,” Li Youmi replied with a smile.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. I can't even imagine the value of that kind of thing. How could he just give it to you so easily? Don't be fooled by him."

Li Youmi said, "But my body's data doesn't lie."

Li Lianfang then realized that it was all true.

What good luck my daughter has to meet such a good man... Li Lianfang thought to herself, then shook her head. No, his kindness to her daughter can't hide the fact that he's cruel.

Just then, I smelled a fragrance.

Li Youmi jumped up hurriedly: "Ah, it's time for dinner! I need to go help!"

As Li Youmi spoke, she ran off.

Ji Xian and Xia Luoxue usually prepare lunch or dinner together, one washing the vegetables and the other cooking. They work well together and it's very heartwarming.

Li Youmi always wanted to join them, so she would find things to do, such as preparing tableware.

Upon smelling the aroma, Li Youmi immediately jumped up and ran to prepare the tableware.

Li Lianfang was left standing there in a daze.

dinner?

These are such unfamiliar words.

Normally, one vial of nutritional supplement a day is enough to meet my daily nutritional needs.

Dinner—a word I've almost forgotten.

Li Lianfang twitched her nose and looked at the three busy people.

What's that on the table?

Stove? Pot?

It smells so good!

Li Lianfang's eyes widened.

Li Youmi rummaged through their backpacks and pulled out some cutlery, asking, "My Lord, could you please bring an extra set of cutlery today so my mother can have dinner with us too?"

Ji Xian smiled and said, "Of course, I've prepared a meal for four people tonight."

"Great!" Li Youmi exclaimed happily and went to wash the dishes.

Soon, four sets of bowls and chopsticks were placed on the table.

The aroma from the pot grew stronger and stronger.

Ji Xian opened the pot lid, and a plume of steam rose towards the ceiling.

The aroma inside was wonderful.

Ji Xian said, "We're having beef hot pot tonight. The beef is almost done stewing, so we can add some other side dishes and start eating."

As Ji Xian spoke, he brought over two large plates, one containing fish balls and crab sticks.

The other plate contains vegetables and enoki mushrooms.

Ji Xian put some of the side dishes into the pot, and added the rest as they ate.
