Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 633 - 396: Shouldn’t Sleep Here

June 16, Monday.

Since it’s the period of middle school exams, Fourth Middle School was still on holiday today, albeit the evening self-study session went on as usual.

In the morning, the sun hung in the sky like a fiery ball, while the wild grass dozed off in the blistering heat, and even the big trees seemed exhausted, their branches drooping listlessly.

Jiang Ning steered the Spirit Boat across Qingyu Lake, whose mirror-like surface reflected the intense sunlight. At the lake’s edge, willow trees hung their exhausted branches, and two people sat fishing beneath the shade.

The Spirit Boat was incredibly fast, vanishing in a flash, heading straight for the distant forest.

Jiang Ning stood with his hands behind his back, letting the wind whip against his clothes.

Not until the Spirit Boat entered the clouds and mist did Jiang Ning look back, only to see a murky expanse, the lush and dense forest no longer in sight, with a red sun shining above the clouds, casting a colorful and dazzling glow.

Jiang Ning moved straight ahead, arriving at a certain point. He flicked his fingertips, and a golden brilliance shot out, flying through like a thrown knife. The mists seemed ignited by a spark, transforming into a riot of colors.

The scene within his vision had completely changed. Before him lay an orchard, with flowers of all colors in full bloom, vying for beauty and attention.

Jiang Ning’s figure shifted, and without seeing him walk, he suddenly moved in front of the grapevines.

Above the clouds of moisture, the vines were covered in blue grape leaves and clusters of plump, dazzling grapes, glowing crimson like flames—emitting a faint sweet fragrance, which cleared one’s mood upon smelling.

Ordinary people who consumed them could slightly delay aging, improve skin quality, and enhance sleep quality.

A smile appeared on Jiang Ning’s face. The grapes he had modified with Spiritual Energy were finally maturing. His efforts had not been in vain.

Compared to other fruits, grapes are voracious water drinkers. He had built a small pool specifically for them, nourishing them day and night with spring water imbued with Spiritual Energy.

Jiang Ning used his Spiritual Power, and an invisible giant hand reached out towards the grapevines, plucking five clusters.

These were grapes cultivated by Spiritual Energy, each one clear like a ruby, with no diseased or shriveled fruit to be found.

A small wooden basket from the edge of the orchard flew over. Jiang Ning took out some cloth from his Storage Ring to lay at the bottom of the basket before placing the grape clusters inside.

He cast a Spell, condensing water into ice, laying it inside the basket, and finally covering the basket with a lid, sealing it with a Spiritual Technique.

After securing this basket, Jiang Ning took another five clusters of grapes, dividing them into two portions: three clusters in one, and two in the other.

Looking back at the grapevine, it now seemed somewhat vacant, like a languid housewife resting there.

Jiang Ning stepped onto the Flying Boat and flew away without a trace of sentiment.

...

Hu Qi Mountain, villa district.

A luxury car was parked by the roadside, with two groups of men in uniform waiting silently in the distance.

Inside the first floor of the villa, a young woman leaned against the sofa, her body curving enticingly, with a tiny mole under her phoenix eyes.

Suddenly, a figure appeared at the entrance.

When Shao Shuangshuang, the owner of Evergreen Liquid, saw the person, she immediately got up from the sofa.

Jiang Ning put down two baskets of fruit: "This basket, please deliver it to Wen City using the most secure method of transportation."

"As for this one, you keep it for yourself to eat."

A wave of delight filled Shao Shuangshuang’s heart. The fruits Jiang Ning gave her were always exceptionally delicious.

How delicious? Her mother stopped nagging about marriage for three days after eating them.

"Right, let’s have lunch together," Shao Shuangshuang said. "I’ve called for a chef."

Jiang Ning replied, "I’m afraid that won’t be possible, we’re having chicken at home."

Hearing this, Shao Shuangshuang did not insist: "Then you go ahead with what you need to do, I’ll make sure it gets delivered."

Jiang Ning flipped his palm, leaving behind three bottles of Spiritual Medicine.

He then walked to the second floor of the villa.

Shao Shuangshuang waited a few minutes and followed upstairs, but Jiang Ning was no longer in sight.

She paused, a hint of regret flashing across her bright, spring-like face. The last time she had a meal with Jiang Ning was last month.

However, Shao Shuangshuang quickly adjusted her emotions. Her parents were in good health, growing younger with age, and she had cured their minor migraines and high blood pressure. The family was harmonious and united.

She had also become the person she once dreamed of being. What was there to sigh about?

...

Hua Fengmei caught a live hen at the market—a free-range chicken raised by the villagers, especially brought to sell in the city.

For lunch, an earthenware pot was used, and Jiang Ning, Xue Yuantong, and Xue Chuchu, watched the whole process like an audience.

The aroma wafted over, reaching all the neighbors. The dogs next door were eager to join, but Jiang Ning had preemptively restrained them with Mana. They could only savor the scent.

In addition to the hen, there was beef, and king prawns—lunch was abundant, in no way inferior to a New Year’s feast.

The five of them gathered around the dining table. Aunt Gu had specifically chilled a few bottles of beer. Sitting at the door, sipping beer and eating was pleasant and comfortable. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

After lunch, Xue Yuantong was so full she could barely move; it was Chuchu who helped her into Jiang Ning’s room.

Xue Yuantong rested for a while, and her vitality returned.

She looked left and right; one side was Xue Chuchu, the other was Jiang Ning her best friend. And what was he on the other side? Hmm?

For a moment, she didn’t know how to describe Jiang Ning.

Then Xue Yuantong stopped thinking about it.

"Let’s watch a horror movie!" she boldly suggested. "Last time, I found a horror film that I haven’t had the courage to watch yet."

Not had the courage? Jiang Ning chuckled to himself, clearly remembering Xue Yuantong sneaking a watch in bed—she was so scared that she dared not continue.

Jiang Ning indicated no problem.

Xue Chuchu worriedly said, "I’m quite scared of those."

Seeing her timid and delicate appearance, Xue Yuantong’s vanity was satisfied. "It’s okay, Chuchu, I’ll protect you."

For better viewing, Xue Yuantong drew the curtains, and the room plunged into dimness.

Xue Yuantong fumbled in the dark to turn on the computer and start the movie, then quickly scooted back to the couch, snatching a blanket from the bed on her way.

Her spot on the couch was perfect, nestled between Chuchu and Jiang Ning.
