Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

"Only worth 0.1?" Su Li pouted in disdain.

"It looks like it's about to die." Wu Xie said, looking at the corpse beetle still stained with Pan Zi's blood. Only a few claws remained on its blue body, occasionally twitching weakly.

"It must have been stuck inside his stomach," said Fatty Wang.

Zhang Qiling looked at Su Li. "Do you need it?"

Su Li knew what Zhang Qiling was asking. "Only 0.1, that's too cheap, I don't want it."

Little by little, it adds up.

"Makes sense."

With a puzzled look on his face, he asked, "Hey bro, what are you talking about? How's Panzi?"

“The wound is a bit deep, it’s up to fate,” Zhang Qiling said, skipping the first question.

Hearing this, Fatty Wang panicked, as if he had just realized something, and hurriedly looked at Su Li. "Boss, emergency help! Do you have any guaranteed survival services? How much?"

Hearing what Fatty Wang said, Wu Xie blinked his puppy eyes at Su Li. "Yes, little kid, how much do you want? If it's not enough, I'll ask my third uncle. He's very rich."

Su Li, under Zhang Qiling's death stare—a look straight out of a parent's eye—wished she could bury her head in the ground. "Hua Hua, help me! I'm so fed up with these two living dads!"

"Here, here, shut up." Su Li shoved a bottle of basic healing pills into Wu Xie's hand.

Wu Xie looked at the jade bottle in his hand. Why did it feel so hot to the touch?

"This, this bottle..."

"For healing."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie poured out a pill from the jade bottle. It looked familiar, all too familiar. He had already taken three of these pills and put them in his mouth, and this time he had a whole bottle of them stuffed into his mouth!

"Hey bro, what's your relationship with me? You even sell these pills wholesale?"

"Let me introduce you." Su Li patted Zhang Qiling on the shoulder. "My brother."

Zhang Qiling glanced at him but did not refute him.

Fatty Wang chimed in, giving a thumbs-up and praising, "No wonder you're family, you're all big shots, impressive!"

Wu Xie had complete confidence in the pills produced by Zhang Qiling, and immediately fed the pills to Pan Zi.

The elixir is very basic, so basic that it doesn't even have its own name, but it is really effective for mortals.

Shortly after taking the pill, the large and small wounds on Pan Zi's body, which had been attacked by the swarm of corpse beetles, began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. The large gash in his abdomen, which had been bleeding, also stopped bleeding and began to heal.

After the wound healed and the pain subsided, Panzi's painful breathing became relaxed and long, as if he had fallen asleep.

"Hiss! A magic pill!!" Fatty Wang had never seen such an effective healing medicine before. Combined with the vines that had just pulled them up, he used a cleansing spell on their bodies.

“Little immortal! Do you take me as an apprentice? I am Wang Yueban, known in the underworld as Fatty Wang. I am from the capital and own a small shop in Panjiayuan. I have some assets and I guarantee filial piety.” Fatty Wang looked at Su Li with shining eyes, wishing he could bow down and worship her.

Startled by his gaze, Su Li jumped back two meters and hid behind Zhang Qiling.

What a joke! According to the sect's rules, only those in the Nascent Soul stage can accept disciples. Even before he self-destructed, he had only just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, let alone his current new body, which hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Besides, this fat guy is already so old. If he's going to take in someone, he should take in a cute little kid and raise them from a young age.

"Hey fatso, watch your step! If you scare the kids, I'll give you a good beating."

Although Wu Xie had tried the effects of the other two pills before, he was still taken aback by the miraculous effect of this healing pill.

The effect was so good that he felt his worldview had been shaken.

However, his worldview has been shattered in the past few days, so his acceptance level is quite high.

"Hey, you little naiveté, who are you calling little kid!" Su Li peeked out from behind Zhang Qiling. She hadn't noticed before, but the kid had been calling her little kid the whole time.

"Little Innocent?" Fatty Wang's gaze towards Wu Xie changed. This elder of the family really knows how to name someone; it's so cute.

Wuxie: ...

"What kind of look is that?"

"No, it's nothing, little naivety, it's fine, it's fine." Fatty Wang laughed it off.

Wu Xie was speechless. "My name is Wu Xie, not Xiao Tianzhen! Wait, little kid, how do you know my name?"

"What a naive little thing! Little immortals do know how to name things." Fatty Wang suppressed a laugh while subtly praising Su Li again.

Wu Xie rolled her eyes at Fatty Wang. "You're not much better. Fatty, you're so chubby, what an apt name for you."

"So what if I'm fat? I'm the most agile fat man in the tomb raiding world. My fat body is my protective armor as I roam this underground world. I'm fat and I'm proud of it!" Fatty Wang proudly raised his head.

Su Li was still a little confused as the two of them inexplicably started arguing.

What happened? What's going on?

Zhang Qiling wasn't interested in the noise. He moved Pan Zi to lie down on the side, sat down against the stone wall, took out a compressed biscuit from his backpack, and began to slowly nibble on it.

Compressed biscuits?

"Brother Zhang, didn't you bring any food?"

What did he do with such a large space in his spatial ring? Why is he eating compressed biscuits here?

Su Li, who had been spoiled by Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi, didn't understand that he was no longer the ignorant country bumpkin who thought even compressed biscuits were delicious.

Snatching the compressed biscuits from Zhang Qiling's hand and stuffing them back into his bag, Su Li took out two bowls of fragrant Black Bear's Special Deluxe Spicy Hot Pot from her Emperor's Rest Realm space.

He handed the clear soup bowl to Zhang Qiling, while he carried the extra spicy version himself, watching the two of them bicker like elementary school kids while Kuku showed off his food.

"Gurgle, gurgle..." A loud rumbling sound echoed throughout the space.

The two bickering individuals stopped when they smelled the overpowering aroma and turned to look at the two onlookers who were enjoying their meal.

"Gudu..."

"Gudu..."

The sound of her swallowing was so obvious that Su Li smiled awkwardly, holding the large bowl. "How about... some?"

Wu Xie & Wang Pangzi: Nodding frantically, we've been waiting for you to say that.

. . .

In the dimly lit tomb chamber, hissing and gurgling sounds echoed, interspersed with hissing and panting.

"Wow, kid, where did you buy this mala tang? It tastes really good, but it's too spicy."

"The blind man made this for me. Don't call me 'little kid,' you innocent little thing!"

"A blind person can cook? That's amazing! What's wrong with calling you a kid? You call me Little Innocent, and you are a kid after all. Ouch, this is so spicy!"

"Want an iced cola? I'm not a kid, I'm older than you, I don't mind if you call me 'brother'."

"Yes, yes, yes, you're a minor, yet you're older than me. This kid has such a strange competitive spirit."

"What? Iced Coke? You tomb raiders bring iced Coke? Fatty wants some too!"

"I also brought some spicy hot pot, aren't you eating it right now? What's up?"

"Oh, right, here's your medicine back."

"Keep it; it'll save your life."

"Wow! Boss, Fatty wants one too."

"Here you go, you get one too."

"The boss is so generous!"

Having finished eating, Zhang Qiling looked at the three people huddled together, bickering and eating, and fell into deep thought.

Black Glasses and Su Li together are already chaotic enough, adding two more...

Zhang Qiling suddenly felt a little heavy-hearted.

It seems like raising children will be even more difficult in the future...
