Hongli nodded, turned to look at the map, and said quietly.

"But there's still a problem. Why is there a red dot representing the Nascent Soul level not far from the little dots that represent us?"

Hei Yang: "Uh, maybe you were just passing by?"

Hongli: "But it stopped!"

Hei Yang: "Uh, maybe my legs are sore from flying?"

"That makes sense."

Hong Li narrowed her eyes, spread her two fingers wide, and said, "And what's that faint little green dot at our front door? What is it?"

"Why don't we just take a look and see..."

Hei Yang turned his head to look towards the gate. Hong Li followed his gaze and together they unleashed the Unfathomable Divine Power, which was clearly very powerful but was used by the two of them like a telescope and a microscope.

……

"Or perhaps we should just go back..."

Hong Qiao hesitated and lingered at the gate, feeling a little apprehensive about sharing her feelings with someone.

"This kind of worry must seem childish to my older siblings, like they're just being unreasonable..."

The doorway was quiet, except for the distant chirping of birds, who were also getting up to start their new day...

"Let's go back..."

Hong Qiao thought to herself that her mother should already be getting ready to make breakfast, and that there would be a portion for her.

She pursed her lips, sighed, and turned to leave.

"Squeak..."

The heavy door creaked open, followed by the sound of red glass.

"Oh, Qiaoqiao, is there something you need so early...?"

My cousin seemed to yawn: "Come inside and sit down. You look like you have something on your mind..."

There are fewer and fewer free-range chickens in the countryside, but around 4:30 in the morning, the sparrows in the walnut tree outside my window start chirping incessantly... Hmm, reminding me not to stay up any longer, it's time to sleep...

In addition, strictly speaking, this chapter is a supplement to yesterday's post (because only one chapter of 2,000 words was posted yesterday).

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 274 People in the past only needed to worry about having enough to eat and wear...

"Okay, forget about breakfast. Just grab some snacks from the table, plus milk and juice. That'll do for now..."

Hongli curled up in the softly cushioned bench, yawned, and said, "As for three regular meals a day, to be honest, your sister has already..."

Uh, one, two, three... Anyway, it's been so long since I've had a proper meal, so I should cherish the time I can eat my mom's cooking..."

Hongli sighed repeatedly, her face bearing the expression of someone who had been through it all.

To be precise, the last time she had a proper meal was during a previous gathering...

In other words, the last time she ate there was last year!

Or perhaps, she hasn't eaten a meal all year...

"Oh, by the way, you absolutely mustn't tell my mom or the others about this!"

Hongli suddenly remembered something and said with a serious expression, "Did you remember that?!"

Knowing her mother as she does, she knew that if her mother found out she hadn't eaten for days, she would definitely come to her door and give her a lecture.

After scolding Hongli, her mother wouldn't stop there. Instead, she would first cook a meal for Hongli so that she could learn from it.

After that, I had to cook three meals a day myself, and after I finished cooking, I would take my food to my mom's place to check in and report the situation, until I was able to eat on time...

Hongli knew her mother's routine inside and out; she could even predict exactly how her mother would scold her...

What's truly frightening isn't the trick, but my mom's cold, glaring gaze...

It was under this kind of fear and threat that Hongli practiced so many marksmanship techniques, trembling with fear...

"Ah? Ah!"

Hong Qiao suddenly came to her senses and said with an embarrassed smile, "Don't worry, don't worry, when have I ever told anyone bad things about you, sister? I would never tell anyone!"

"Hmm, okay, that's good enough."

Hongli nodded in satisfaction, then asked in confusion, "So why were you staring at me like that just now? Was there something on my face?"

"Well, uh, not really!"

Hong Qiao's eyelids twitched twice, and she laughed as she pointed to her neck.

"Yeah, sister, there's a red mark here..."

"Ah this..."

Hongli quickly waved a water mirror, looked at the light red mark on her neck, glared, coughed twice, and while scattering the water mirror, she quickly pulled up her collar to cover it up.

"Yeah, yeah, haha, it's nothing, I just got a few bites from the dog, it's alright..."

Hong Li chuckled awkwardly, "It's just that that guy's cultivation level is higher, so the teeth marks are harder to remove, hahaha..."

"Ah this..."

Hong Qiao revealed her crescent-shaped eyes and pointed to the shirt Hong Li was wearing: "What is this?"

"Ah?"

Hongli lowered her head, looking at the shirt she was wearing that almost covered her knees, her lips twitched, and she said with an awkward smile, "This is the dress my sister just bought, isn't it pretty!"

"Uh, it looks like Black Sun's shirt to me..."

"Um?!"

A cold glint flashed in Hong Li's eyes. Was it time for the familiar silencing phase again...?

"Haha, I knew I was wrong!"

Hong Qiao was completely at ease when she sensed the murderous aura.

"Alright, alright, stop thinking about all this nonsense!"

Asking about your sister's life won't bring you any happiness!

Seeing Hong Qiao obediently shut up, Hong Li sighed and glared at Hong Qiao with dead fish eyes.

"Didn't you say you had a problem and wanted me to help you solve it? Speak up."

"oh oh!"

Hong Qiao nodded quickly, looked at Hong Li, sighed, and showed a worried expression.

"It's still the same problem: my mother and I still can't understand each other..."

"..."

"..."

"Grandma, there are private houses ahead. Would you mind taking a detour?"

Hei Yang stood in the sky, looking at the tall old woman in front of him, and said seriously, "After all, it's really unsettling to have a strange Nascent Soul cultivator wandering around our house."

"Hmm? Did we end up at someone else's house...?"

The old woman looked up at the boy in front of her in surprise. Just as she was about to test his cultivation level, a sense of danger suddenly arose in her heart, and she forcibly stopped herself from acting on her impulse.

Judging from her appearance alone, this old woman seemed to be not much different in age from Granny Meng when she passed away.

However, Granny Meng was shorter than her, and had a more profound and peaceful aura. She was the kind of person who looked kind at first glance, but would make you feel intimidated after a second look.

The person in front of me, however, exudes an overwhelming sense of pressure that he makes no attempt to conceal.

It looks so unsafe!

"Oh, I see..."

The old woman nodded in realization, then frowned and looked down.

"But, could I wait until the little girl who went in earlier comes out before I leave?"

That's my younger sister.

"I have no ill intentions."

"Do you believe me?"

Hei Yang squinted at the person in front of him.

"After all, you're not from our world."
