Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Spicy or Mild

After intimidating the three fierce beasts, Bai Xiqin arrived next to the most beautiful scenery in the space.

Three shiny iron pots were lined up in a row.

Bai Xiqin’s fingers moved slightly, and from the space’s warehouse, an identical large iron pot flew out, landing steadily beside the three.

The most beautiful scenery was perfectly upgraded.

The three pots became four.

“Master, I think that ugly little kitten won’t be able to climb in.” Taowu glanced at the Little Bun and then at the large iron pot.

With those four short little legs, even walking is tough for the Little Bun. Climbing in could be impossible, and it might starve to death in the future.

“Don’t mind those details.” Bai Xiqin flicked her bangs, “If you really think it’s inappropriate, I’ll change your food bowls too. They should all match, neat and tidy.

This damn OCD of hers!

“It’s fine, we’ll make sure it becomes a proper fierce beast!” Taowu declared righteously, “Rest assured, Master, you don’t need to worry about the food bowls. We’ll take good care of our little brother.”

After speaking, Taowu, Water Python, and Qin Yuan quickly ran to the little kitten, sometimes offering it fruit, sometimes grooming its fur.

Very attentive indeed.

No one knew who was the real little brother here.

The little kitten looked fiercely at Taowu, stretching out a paw to swipe at it.

Hey, where did this monster come from?

Scared the life out of me!

“Hehe, Master, don’t worry, see, the little guy quite likes me.”

Taowu grinned, having withstood the kitten’s 0.00001N of force.

This little brother has a bright future, knowing how to please its boss.

That swipe was definitely a form of flattery.

“Hey, little brother, why aren’t you flattering me?” Qin Yuan flew over to the little kitten, smiling at it.

The little kitten promptly swiped at it.

Where did this big wasp come from?

“Little brother, I’m also your boss, quickly flatter me a bit!” Water Python looked at the little kitten attentively.

The fur on the little kitten stood up slightly, giving Water Python two consecutive swipes.

Todays monsters were indeed clamorous.

“Hehe, Master, I think it likes me the most.” Water Python proudly raised its head.

“Nonsense! I’m its most respected boss!” Qin Yuan waved its tail stinger at Water Python.

“Master, tell us, who is its most respected boss!” Taowu looked at Bai Xiqin with anticipation.

Master’s words must be right; Master is the ultimate authority.

Bai Xiqin glanced at the snarling little kitten, then at the three silly bosses, deep in thought.

In time, perhaps the little brother would become the brightest star in the space!

“You are all its most respected bosses.”

Having said that, Bai Xiqin exited the space.

The three little beasts continued their endless debate, time to sneak away.

Upon exiting the space, Bai Xiqin smelled the scent of milk powder permeating the large bus.

In the kitchen, Bai Yifan was bustling about clumsily.

In two cups, a rich milky aroma wafted up.

This was milk powder brewed by Bai Yifan, given to him by Zhang Yiming, the most expensive kind.

The pot was bubbling, as Bai Yifan threw some hotpot balls and meat rolls into it.

After being boiled, they would be taken out to make a spicy hotpot later.

“Wasn’t it supposed to be Leng Yebai cooking today?” Bai Xiqin curiously watched Bai Yifan cooking.

The sun hadn’t set yet, and dinner seemed to be prepared quite early.

“Is the little cat okay!” Bai Yifan hummed softly, “I owe my classmate a cup of milk powder and a meal, and today I happened to meet him, so I’ll bring the meal to him later.”

“The little cat is doing well in the space.” Bai Xiqin glanced at the milk powder Bai Yifan was preparing, curious, she asked, “You owe him a favor?”

Milk powder was something Bai Yifan avoided touching unless necessary.

His cherished milk powder was rarely shared with outsiders.

“Yes, the last English test, I copied his paper, and I haven’t taken him to a meal yet.”

Bai Yifan stood by the pot, preparing the hotpot base, waiting for all the ingredients to be cooked and stir-fried.

“How much did you score last time?”

Bai Anhai, who was sitting on the sofa absorbing crystal cores, opened his eyes.

“…34 points.” Bai Yifan said weakly.

“You couldn’t find a top student to copy from!” Bai Anhai said with a face of disappointment.

Cheating and only got 34 points!

No cheating would be 0 points.

His son indeed was a genius!

“He’s the best student in our class.” Bai Yifan touched his nose, “He never scores full marks, always a few points shy. I thought if I changed a few answers, I’d get full marks.”

But…

He always ended up at the bottom!

Bai Anhai took a deep breath, gritting his teeth while speaking to Leng Yebai.

“Now you understand why I desperately looked for ways to sue before the apocalypse?”

With such a foolish son, there was no hope for retirement.

Better save money while young, so we don’t have to live off the land with him one day.

What?

He had a daughter?

With Bai Yifan as a burden, he couldn’t live with his daughter; she could only accept his possessions, not pay back anything.

Girls should be cherished.

The harsh wind from the northwest? That’d be between him and Bai Yifan to deal with.

“…I understand.” Leng Yebai was calm.[SIGNATURE]

As a top student, Leng Yebai’s lowest score was always above 90.

Even if he wrote with his feet, he’d score higher than Bai Yifan.

Bai Yifan didn’t overhear the conversation between Bai Anhai and Leng Yebai, as he was busy using a strainer to scoop out the cooked ingredients from the pot.

A bowl full of ingredients, various meats, and vegetables.

In the apocalypse, enjoying such food was quite a luxury.

The Bai Family’s tastes were diverse; the men preferred the fragrant flavors, mixing it with sesame paste was their favorite.

The Bai Family women, had a heavy preference for spicy and numbing flavors.

One person had a slightly different taste, which was Leng Yebai.

Though usually enjoying fragrant flavors, he sometimes ate the spicy dishes Bai Xiqin cooked for him.

“Brother Leng, do you want spicy or fragrant?”

Bai Yifan turned his head to ask Leng Yebai.

Once he had an answer, he could start preparing the spicy hotpot.

“Bang!”

Before Leng Yebai could answer, a loud bang erupted from outside.

Everyone rushed to the windows, witnessing the collapsed wall outside.

A Water Python, as thick as a bucket, barged in, its powerful body slithering on the ground, and with a flick of its tail, another large hole opened in the wall.

“Wasn’t this snake killed by Kung Fu Panda?” Bai Yifan was dumbfounded.

He remembered Captain Zhou carrying its body into the safe base, where everyone had a share of the meat.

“It’s not the same one.”

Bai Xiqin’s pupils shrank slightly.

After the giant Water Python forced its way in, dozens more Giant Pythons rushed in, each as thick as a bucket.

These were Mutated Water Pythons.

Snakes aren’t social creatures, only gathering in winter. But it’s spring now; how could so many Mutated Water Pythons appear at once?

Could the mutations have made them start cooperating too?

The leading Mutated Water Python, after breaking into the safe base, first targeted the blue-and-white bus.

The massive tail of the Mutated Water Python slammed into the bus, then a bolt of purple lightning struck its tail.

The Water Python coiled its tail in pain, more enraged, lunging towards the bus again.

“Xiao Fan, drive!”

Leng Yebai shouted, opening the window, jumping out from it, climbing onto the bus, his hands swirling with dense purple lightning.
