Rebirth Daily Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 1048 Recitation
Walking through the heavy rain to the bungalows, a light shone in the hazy darkness ahead.

Xue Yuantong's little face peeked out from under the raincoat: "Mom!"

Looking at her daughter's smiling face and then at Jiang Ning in front of her, Aunt Gu felt quite gratified. The house she had rented out unintentionally had actually yielded such a good result.

"Huh, Chu Chu." Xue Yuantong's eyes were very sharp.

Xue Chuchu walked slowly from her doorstep, holding an umbrella; she looked so ladylike.

Xue Yuantong pouted like a little maid and said, "Greetings to Consort Chu!"

Xue Chuchu pursed her lips and quickened her pace.

Aunt Gu: "Come in quickly, have something to eat. Look how thin you've become, Chuchu."

Chu Chu had played with Tong Tong since she was little and regarded Aunt Gu as family, so she didn't say anything to refuse.

In this family, she would only reject Jiang Ning.

When Jiang Ning arrived at Tongtong's kitchen, Aunt Gu placed the late-night snack on the cutting board and said in a kind tone, "Jiang Ning, eat more, so you can grow taller."

Well, to be honest, Aunt Gu was a little reluctant to say that... She didn't want Jiang Ning to grow any taller...

There's nothing I can do; it's just that my daughter is so disappointing.

Jiang Ning scooped up a spoonful of milk. The sago was soft and chewy, and when paired with the crisp and sweet watermelon chunks, the taste was fantastic.

He hadn't eaten more than a couple of bites when he noticed the empty plate beside him with shrimp that Chu Chu had just peeled.

"Thanks." Jiang Ning picked up a shrimp with her chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce, and found it fresh and delicious.

Xue Chuchu didn't say anything.

Jiang Ning is very satisfied with his current life. In his previous life, he had fantasized about it countless times, but the absence of his parents during his youth and the hardships he faced after entering society prevented him from ever realizing his dream.

Some things, once lost, can never be made up for in a lifetime, regardless of wealth or status.

Jiang Ning ate another shrimp that Chu Chu had peeled by hand.

Aunt Gu suddenly felt something was off. 'When did Chu Chu and Jiang Ning become so close?'

She glanced at her own daughter, who was engrossed in eating, completely oblivious.

'Tongtong, you~'

Xue Chuchu seemed to sense something, and she took the initiative to peel two shrimp for Tongtong.

Xue Yuantong was very satisfied: "Chuchu, you are our most loyal friend. I've decided to let you play the new game first!"

The day before yesterday, Lin Zida chatted with Jiang Ning, saying that he had found a fun game, and then casually gave Jiang Ning a CD.

After finishing his late-night snack, Xue Yuantong said first, "Mom, I'm going to Jiang Ning's house to study. You should go to bed early tonight."

After saying that, she and Jiang Ning set off together.

Aunt Gu was left standing there, pondering: 'I must be overthinking it.'

……

The new game that Lin Zida gifted him was 'Bloodborne'.

Jiang Ning turned on the PS4 and found it interesting. This game, by the time it reached the PS5 era, was practically Sony's only true exclusive.

The elegant Xue Chuchu sat on Jiang Ning's throne, gripping the controller, ready for the game.

Xue Yuantong said from the side, "You just play around, help me scout out the way first."

As a result, Xue Chuchu, having finished making the effigy, went out with great enthusiasm, only to be hacked to death twice by several patrolling villagers.

Xue Chuchu: "You play first, I'm going home to study."

Chu Chu left, and Tong Tong took the controller, hacking all the villagers to death. She fought her way to the first big boss, the priest, and then easily killed him with a barrage of gunfire.

As Jiang Ning watched her rampage, Miyazaki Hidetaka's supposed malice did not deter her in the slightest.

"His gaming skills are truly enviable," Jiang Ning remarked.

If Tongtong starts a live stream in the future, even if she only plays single-player games, she can easily support her family. If she plays online games, her potential is even greater.

A loyal gamer, Lin Zida, messaged: "I died seven times before I beat the priest. How's your game going?"

Jiang Ning glanced at the servant Tongtong: "She's not dead yet."

Lin Zida looked forward to his suffering and gloated, "Haha, you're going to suffer now."

Aunt Lin Han, carrying a coffee cup, walked towards the window with a mountain view. After noticing her, she asked, "What are you talking about? You're laughing like a gorilla."

Lin Zida was used to being insulted every day: "You women don't understand games."

Lin Han sipped his coffee: "Speaking of games, I recently met a guy who makes games."

"Shang Zhengyu, right?" Lin Zida knew about him; the mobile game he developed was now among the top tier in China.

"Hmm, a pretty cool guy." Lin Han seemed somewhat interested.

Lin Zida blurted out, "You're too old, they're not interested."

Lin Han: "?"

……

Whether she suffered or not is unknown, but Tongtong was killing in the game until 11:30.

Aunt Gu, who couldn't sleep no matter what, appeared at Jiang Ning's door with nothing to do: "Tongtong, go home and sleep."

Xue Yuantong, gripping the controller, was already in a frenzy of killing, not even turning his head: "Mom, you go to sleep first, I'm going to go on another rampage."

Aunt Gu, with a stern face, scolded, "Playing, playing, what time is it? Come home with me now!"

Xue Yuantong turned his head, his hands unconsciously operating the controller. The game character still accurately dodged the attacks, as if everything about the monster had been predicted.

"Mom, I have a question for you."

"explain."

"When you're eighty and bedridden, while I'm sixty and still full of energy, who will be in charge of our family then?" Xue Yuantong wondered.

Aunt Gu thought about it carefully and said, "You should definitely make the decision."

Xue Yuantong said arrogantly, "Now that you know I'll be the head of the family from now on, how dare you order me around like this? You've gone too far!"

Jiang Ning sighed, feeling like she was asking for trouble.

A few seconds later, Tongtong was grabbed by the ear and dragged away, leaving behind the words, "Jiang Ning, I will be back!"

The small room then became empty.

Jiang Ning picked up the Star-Nourishing Stone and began to concentrate on cultivation.

Not long after, his phone screen lit up. He scanned it with his divine sense and saw that Tongtong next door had sent him a message.

"Jiang Ning, when are you going to sleep?"

She's always like this; even after leaving Jiang Ning's little house and returning home, she'll still go looking for him to play.

Jiang Ning scanned the room again with his divine sense and saw Tongtong lying on the quilt, her Hello Kitty pajamas soft and fluffy, just a wall away.

Jiang Ning: "When you say goodnight to me."

Xue Yuantong was initially delighted, then muttered a curse under her breath and sent a message: "If I don't tell you, are you not going to sleep?"

Jiang Ning: "That's a downer."

However, Tongtong eventually told him that Jiang Ning still hadn't slept.

His heart is devoted solely to spiritual practice.

The night passed in the blink of an eye. At 6:30, Jiang Ning piloted his spirit boat to Tiger Perch Mountain to check his spirit fields. On the way back, he plucked a spirit bamboo shoot and caught a fish at Qingyu Lake.

He arrived at Chu Chu's house. Xue Chu Chu hadn't started cooking yet and was standing at the bedroom door reading aloud.

Perhaps because she was afraid of getting her clothes dirty in the rain, Chu Chu was dressed all in black today—a black shirt and black straight-leg pants—giving her a somewhat androgynous look. However, her face was so stunningly beautiful that it was impossible to ignore.

Xue Chuchu stared at the fish in his hand, a hint of confusion on her face.

Jiang Ning: "You can prepare the fish later, and then cook it with bamboo shoots to make porridge."

Xue Chuchu: "Hmm... okay."

She made a move to get up, but Jiang Ning stopped her: "It's still early, you can study for a while longer."

Jiang Ning picked up a knife and casually sent the fish into reincarnation.

Xue Chuchu was very considerate of others' feelings. She said apologetically, "I might be reading a little loudly. Will it disturb you?"

The sound wasn't actually that loud; she was just imagining things.

Jiang Ning laughed: "It's okay, I haven't heard the sound of reading for a long time either, I miss it."

Xue Chuchu thought he was lying. They were all students, how could they not hear him?
A sudden thought struck her, and she decided to expose his clumsy little trick.

Her voice was like a spring rain in the early morning, with a hint of coldness: "Doesn't Tongtong do morning reading at school? There must be something she has to memorize, right?"

Jiang Ning feigned surprise: "She doesn't need to memorize; she can learn it just by looking at it. Aren't you one of them?"

Xue Chuchu lowered her head: '...a tattered book'
