Chaoter 28

Cheng Biyuan was standing up! He felt exhilarated!

Not only was he standing up, all his injuries had recovered completely! On top of that, after Yuteng's treatment, his cultivation had, once again, advanced passed level 2. That was an expected surprise!

After recovery, the whole family excited. Mrs. Cheng busied herself preparing chickens, rabbits, and fish. Tonight, she wanted to celebrate. The three young ones were also super excited. They surrounded Cheng Biyuan and couldn't keep quite for a moment.

After he was finally able to sent the three young ones to play outside, Cheng Biyuan told his quiet daughter, "Xiao Xiao, come take a walk with me!"

"Yes, dad." Xiao Xiao was expecting that she followed her dad out of the yard indifferently.

They examined the fields and the vegetable garden. Standing in the middle of the farm and looking at the tens of chickens and rabbits, Cheng Biyuan's heart felt heavy. If it wasn't necessary, he really didn't want others to know about these.

"Xiao Xiao, a few days ago the villagers came to our house. Even though they didn't say anything out loud, I'm sure they have their suspicions. After all, we didn't have these mythical beasts before, nor do they know what mythical beasts are. Otherwise, things will be bad!"

"Dad, the villagers didn't know anything. We have nothing to worry about. We just have to make everything looks normal." Said Cheng Xiao Xiao coolly.

Cheng Biyuan's eyebrows twitched a little and asked, "How are you think to make the villagers feel that this is normal?"

"Dad, in the eyes of the villagers, our family was never ordinary, right?"

"Xiao Xiao, what are you saying?" At this moment, Cheng Biyuan couldn't understand his daughter's thought.

Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled brightly, her black eyes sparkled, lightly she said, "Dad, in a couple of days, invite Patriarch Liu and a few respectable elders of the village over for dinner. Then we subtly let them know that these were gifts from relatives and old friends of yours and mom's. After all, nobody know our background, this will be the simplest explanation."

"Xiao Xiao, how did you come up with that?" Cheng Biyuan was genuinely surprised. He regarded his daughter all over again. He would have to agree that this was, indeed, the best explanation for the villagers.

Of course, he also thought that regardless of whether any outsiders had discovered anything. As long as they could convinced the villagers first, then when the outsiders came and inquiry, they could handle them easily.

Noticing her dad's surprise, Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled indifferently. She didn't explain anything else. After all, her parents had long since noticed her changes. As such, there were no need to cover anything else. She would prefer to just be herself.

Knowing that his daughter wasn't going to elaborate much, Cheng Biyuan decided against prying. The two of them returned to the house.

Stopping at the front of the house and looking at the three kids playing by the river, Cheng Biyuan said to himself, "Can't let them waste time fooling around any more. Starting tomorrow, all of them need to start cultivating. Otherwise it will all be over if anything happens."

His volume was low but Cheng Xiao Xiao heard him nonetheless. Cultivate?

Even though she had already accepted the fact that she has transmigrated, but hearing word like that still made her felt odd, like listening to dialogs in a TV show.

"Xiao Xiao, what are you thinking about?"

"Oh…." Meeting the caring look of her father, she felt warm and fuzzy. She said gently, "Dad, I think we should dig a pond in the front so we can raise some fish too!"

"No problem, let's start tomorrow. That should only take a couple of days!" said Cheng Biyuan.

"Dad, don't you worry. Yuteng can clone!"

"Oh yes, I had forgotten about Yuteng. Save so much work with her around!"

The mood around dinner was cheerful. The whole family surrounded the dinner table, smile on every face. They no longer need to worry about their livelihood, nor were they weighted down by dad's health. This must be the happiest day in a while.

After dinner, Cheng Biyuan did not let his four kids resign into their bedroom, but solemnly he said to them, "I thought we could forget our past and live peacefully in this little village; settle down here for the generations to come. But it's looking like that will not be a possibility. For our livelihood going forward, every one of us must continue our cultivation, no exception!"

"Why, dad? You said before that we will only need big brother to learn some basic kung fu to protect us and that would be sufficient." Asked Cheng Zheng Bin, confused at the new changes.

Cheng Biyuan looked at the younger of his two sons and said nonchalantly, "If we don't cultivate, our family can't have meat everyday. We will only be able to have wild vegetables, is that what you want?"

"Daddy, we aren't cultivating right now, but we still have meat, no?" Asked Lan Lan, confused.

"Because that's your uncle's condition to continue sending us goods. If you don't cultivate, he won't be sending any more chickens or rabbits!"

Cheng Biyuan looked at his daughter and asked nonchalantly, "Now you can tell me, if you don't want meat anymore, I will let your uncle know not to send anymore. If you want to keep having meat, you will need to cultivate. Can you do that?"

The young ones exchanged looks among themselves. They looked like everything made sense all of a sudden and said simultaneously, "Yes!"

Cheng Xiao Xiao, standing close by, had a strange look on her face. She didn't expect her father to make up an uncle. She remembered from her novels that usually when some secret characters appear, they were usually shi fu1, but now her father had changed that to an uncle.

"Xiao Xiao, same goes for you!"

"Oh…." Cheng Xiao Xiao didn't know how to respond. What did she know about cultivating? She gave an awkward look at his request.

Mrs. Cheng seemed to have recalled something, smiling at her daughter, she said, "Xiao Xiao, I will show you in a bit!"

"Okay. Thank you, mom!"

"No worries. C'mon, come inside the house, let me show you!"

The two of them disappeared into the house while Cheng Biyuan continued to teach the kids in the yard.

"Heaven and earth have Ying and Yang, when heaven is ruthless, the earth is destroyed; when heaven is giving, the earth is full of life; heaven and earth has spiritual air, and the secrets of the heaven encapsulates within it…"

Sitting inside the dimension, Cheng Xiao Xiao recited the mantra in her heart. She was curious whether she would gain superpower from cultivation like the super heroes she has watched in all the TV shows.

As her eyes were closed, what she didn't know was that when she recited the mantra, she was embraced by the spiritual air inside the dimension. It made her looked like she was sitting in fog.

After a long while, she felt a comfortable warmth feeling arising from inside her body and slowly dissipated outward and it made her felt relaxed. She stood up slowly.

Her elegant face carried a light smile, she recited, "Hug heaven and earth in one's chest, clasp all creation with your palms, stepping on the divine land, swallow the sun, moon, and the stars. That's amazing, this was describing the enlightened ones right? I wonder if anyone can truly achieve these kind of abilities?"

"Of course, young master!"
