Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Sneaking a Bite

Bai Xiqin wasn’t afraid of being eaten into poverty.

The resources in the space continued to grow, and the vegetables, fruits, and grains in the warehouse steadily increased at a linear pace.

Not to mention bribing those fools in the zoo that only know how to eat bamboo; even raising a group of fools that only know how to eat bananas wouldn’t be a problem.

At worst, just plant more bananas later; after all, collecting the fruit using control power is quite fast.

Bai Xiqin waved her hand generously, and a bunch of bananas instantly appeared in front of the little monkeys.

“Chirp chirp chirp!”

The little monkey bounced in place twice and ran off hugging the bananas.

The sudden attack was thus dismissed by Bai Xiqin’s bananas.

Leng Yebai silently put the dagger back and looked at Bai Xiqin with eyes full of affection.

A magic mouth might not be omnipotent, but indeed his little Niu was the most formidable.

“Luckily I evolved quickly, otherwise I’d have become a fool who only knows how to eat bananas.” Bai Yifan shook his head slightly as he looked at the monkeys’ backs, sniffed the lingering banana scent in the air, and extended his hand silently, “Sis, can I have one, too?”

Bai Xiqin: …

They only know how to eat bananas; they are definitely fools.

“Xiao Niu, give me one too. The monkeys looked quite happy eating bananas, so I’d like to try it too.”

Bai Zhengxuan also extended his hand.

“Daughter, I want to eat as well!”

Wang Yiyun and Bai Anhai also extended their hands.

Leng Yebai didn’t say anything, but there was a hint of expectation in his affectionate eyes.

Bai Xiqin: …

She takes back what she just said; her family, excluding Bai Yifan, aren’t fools.

Bai Xiqin took out some bananas from the space, gave each person one, and continued walking forward.

The bananas were mildly sweet, soft and glutinous without being overly mushy, and biting into them released a mouthful of fragrance.

Truly worthy of being grown in the space, they’re delicious.

The family continued to walk toward the mountain top while eating bananas.

Occasionally, they could hear the angry roars of wild beasts, followed by the chattering sounds of monkeys.

Monkeys probably also have their own language.

Wave after wave of monkeys appeared in front of Bai Xiqin, with no aggression in their eyes but only expectation.

It didn’t matter whether Bai Xiqin would give them bananas or not, they had already set their sights on them.

Luckily, there was plenty of stock; no matter how many monkeys came, they could receive a considerable amount of bananas.

A war about to break out was settled by bananas.

“These monkeys are just too many!”

Bai Yifan looked at wave after wave of monkeys, dumbfounded.

A monkey that’s a bit faster and stronger doesn’t seem concerning.

But if it’s thousands, even tens of thousands, then it’s a nightmare.

“In the apocalypse, many mutated plants have guardian beasts that feed on the fruit or leaves of these plants, forming strong clans.” Bai Xiqin looked toward the mountain top.

The benefits of mutated plants aren’t only discovered by humans, but by animals too.

Animals can even be more sensitive, quickly determining which plant is useful to them.

“Huh? If there are lots and lots of monkeys around the Fusang Tree, wouldn’t we be unable to move it into the space?” Bai Yifan scratched his head, “How about we go back!”

Compared to bananas, the Fusang Tree somehow seems more important.

Even if a monkey is small, it should be able to discern the importance of the Fusang Tree.

With so many monkeys, Bai Yifan is a bit scared if a fight breaks out.

Tch! It’d be bad if the monkeys scratched his face!

He hasn’t gotten married yet!

“We don’t necessarily have to move the Fusang Tree into the space, we can separate some of its roots.” Bai Xiqin said.

She’s not intent on ruining the ecosystem.

The world has suffered enough from the apocalypse, nature’s punishment on humans has been severe, with zombies rampant; humans’ enemies aren’t nature but themselves.

Moreover, the more advanced the mutated plant, the more guardian animals will be around.

If you move the entire Fusang Tree into the space, better be prepared for a chase by a swarm of monkeys!

Monkeys hold grudges very deeply; even if you provide them with lots of bananas, it won’t quell their hostility towards enemies.

“Okay then!”

Bai Yifan pounded his aching legs and continued walking toward the mountain top.

If Sis says to go up, then go up!

According to his sixteen years of survival experience.

One must listen to women.

Or brace for stormy weather!

“Huff huff huff—”

Bai Yifan panted heavily toward the mountain top, nearly sticking his tongue out from exhaustion.

“Xiao Fan, I’ll make sure to nourish you well once we get out! I’ll stew plenty of things just for you!”

Bai Zhengxuan sincerely patted Bai Yifan’s shoulder.

Only halfway up the mountain, Bai Yifan was the only one breathless.

Even the aged Bai Zhengxuan and his wife weren’t this tired.

A Superpower User’s physique becomes stronger as their superpower advances.

The elderly couple weren’t tired halfway up the mountain, let alone Bai Anhai and the others.

Only Bai Yifan was exhausted like a little puppy.

Too frail.

Indeed, he needs to be nourished properly.

Nobody else needs it.

“Really?” Bai Yifan’s eyes lit up instantly, looking excitedly at Bai Zhengxuan, “Really just for me?”

This kind of care, just for him, is rare at home.

…Almost non-existent.

Bai Yifan sneakily glanced at Bai Xiqin and raised his chin proudly.

Indeed, older people favor boys over girls.

He was definitely the most spoiled!

After a minute of pride, Bai Yifan began to feel sorry for Bai Xiqin.

His poor Sis didn’t even know she was being overshadowed by favoring boys!

“Of course, don’t worry, no one will fight you for it!” Bai Zhengxuan eyed the suddenly proud Bai Yifan and raised an eyebrow.

His grandson probably isn’t too bright.

No one else is frail, why fight him for supplements!

“Alright, but later can we secretly talk and secretly eat?” Bai Yifan whispered to Bai Zhengxuan.

Have to consider certain girls’ feelings, can’t let some sister feel the sadness of favoring boys.

“Sure! You can!”

Bai Zhengxuan nodded decisively.

It’s understandable.

Boys still need to keep up appearances.

Being told you’re frail in front of everyone is somewhat awkward.

If he wants to eat secretly, let him eat secretly!

Everyone knows Bai Yifan’s frail, only Bai Yifan is silly, fooling himself.

Eating secretly is no different from pretending not to hear!

Bai Yifan turned around, hiding from Bai Xiqin, laughing secretly with sounds.

He really was the most spoiled, Sis, sorry for taking your affection.

Rest assured, younger brother promises not to flaunt wealth when adored.

Will always remember the poor Sis overshadowed by favoring boys!

Bai Yifan laughed for a minute, then appropriately stopped and continued panting toward the mountain top.

Better not laugh too loud, lest it creates emotional trauma for Sis.

Bai Xiqin watched Bai Yifan laugh secretly and slightly frowned.

This kid, gone stupid?

Her shoulder was tapped; Bai Xiqin looked up and saw a composed Leng Yebai.

Rest assured, in the future we’ll raise a quirky brother together!

Bai Xiqin: ??????

Leng Yebai nodded to himself and straightened his back more.

Leng Yebai took the machete from Bai Anhai’s hand, clearing the obstructing shrubs ahead.

The waist-level of the mountain was mostly weeds, easy to clear, but it became increasingly difficult with more shrubs closer to the top.

Leng Yebai was responsible for clearing difficult areas, while Bai Anhai and his spouse stayed behind, Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai led the way in front.

“Roar—”

A beast’s roar suddenly came from the mountaintop.

This sound directly struck the soul, an instantaneous fear emerged.

The Bai Family paused slightly.

What kind of beast could produce such powerful roars?
