At sunset, Xiao Jinfeng closed the shop and took the two kids back to Xiao Jingting’s house.

“Third brother, what delicious food are you making?” asked Xiao Jinfeng.

“I’m making dumplings.” Xiao Jingting said with his eyes sparkling, and he worked hard on rolling the dough.

Xiao Jinfeng said curiously, “Dumplings?”

Xiao Jingting nodded, “Yeah!”

“What’s that?” Xiao Jinfeng asked.

“It’s a kind of food, and I’ve read it on some ancient book.” Xiao Jingting replied simply.

Xiao Xiaofan ran to Xiao Jingting’s side, stood on his tiptoe and laid his face down on the stovetop, with his eyes full of longing.

Xiao Jingting found that people in this world were concerned more with Qi cultivation, and the food in the restaurants paid more attention to the storage of Qi but focused less on the flavor. In his previous life, Xiao Jingting had been a foodie, so he couldn’t bear this.

“Since Muan has lost his appetite, I want to make some nice food for him.” Xiao Jingting wheezed while he was rolling the dough.

Xiao Jingting licked his lips and thought: There were not even dumplings in this world, and the most common food here was merely roast meat. Though there were some people having perfect skills in meat roasting here, one could be tired of having the same food all the time. He’d been in this world for long, but he had not actually tasted dumplings till now.

Xiao Jinfeng rubbed his nose. Looking at Xiao Jingting behaving like a considerate husband, he realized his dereliction of duty. Compared with his younger brother, he seemed not to be a good husband.

“Father, are you making this for Daddy? But every time you make something for Daddy, you eat more than him.” Xiao Xiaofan said with a tilt of his head.

Xiao Jingting felt speechless for a moment. Bad boy, you just know about bullshitting!

Xiao Jingting gave Xiao Xiaofan a glimpse and said unhappily, “That’s because your Daddy can’t have too much, and we shouldn’t waste the food. Besides, you eat much, too!”

Xiao Xiaofan smiled embarrassedly, and said while scratching his head, “It’s because I do a lot of manual work every day, I’m hungry!”

Xiao Jingting had no word to say. Well, since he had used child labor, he mustn’t starve the child labor.

“Is there anything happening at the shop today?” Xiao Jingting asked casually.

“Yes! Yes!” Xiao Xiaofan replied excitedly.

“Eek, what is that?” asked Xiao Jingting.

“My second uncle has gone out to hiring people, but hired no one at last. Second uncle is just too critical.”

Xiao Jingting felt wordless. Since Xiao Jinfeng was still here, how could this bad boy bullshit like this.

“Anything else?” asked Xiao Jingting.

“And someone has come and said that my eldest uncle has got sick.” Xiao Xiaofan said with excitement.

Xiao Jingting was struck dumb. Xiao Qingyan had been sick?

Xiao Jingting turned to Xiao Jinfeng and asked, “What was that about?”

“Today, Zhou Kangqi has come to bother around and said that Xiao Qingyan has advanced to level six by the miraculous medicine, Spirit-breaking pill.”

“Eldest uncle has taken the drugs. So stupid he is. Even me know that drugs are not good for us, but he still takes it.” Xiao Xiaofan said with a look of disgust.

Xiao Jingting didn’t say anything. Miraculous medicine couldn’t be categorized as drugs!

“Given taking the miraculous medicine so early, is there any negative effect?” asked Xiao Jingting.

Xiao Jinfeng nodded, “Yeah. It can affect the future cultivation. But the miraculous medicine is indeed a good thing, and if you have enough for sustained support, it’s just OK to have more of that medicine actually.”

“It’s said that, in some world of higher level in cultivation, some low-level cultivators who are not well-endowed usually take all kinds of miraculous medicine to break through the foundation stage. But miraculous medicine is rare in our world, and once you have advanced by miraculous medicine, you need to take another more advanced kind of miraculous medicine to get the next breakthrough, thus it makes the later practice become more and more difficult.”

Xiao Jingting thought it over and said, “It seems our parents haven’t known it yet.”

Xiao Jinfeng nodded, “Probably. But maybe what Zhou Kangqi says is not true.”

Xiao Xiaofan said with bouncing, “Father, when can we have it?”

Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Xiaofan and thought: The kids, like Xiaofan, were just simple-minded, bearing nothing in mind, only knowing about eating; and even if the sky were to fall, this guy would probably just say, “There’s no more food to eat.”

Xiao Jinfeng turned to Xiao Xiaofan and comforted him, “Just wait for a while.”

Xiao Xiaofan said excitedly, “Yes? That’s great!”

Xiao Jingting just felt speechless about him.

“Second brother, I’ve made much of this, just call my second sister-in-law to have it together.” said Xiao Jingting.

Xiao Jinfeng himself had originally been impressed by this food, and when he heard Xiao Jingting saying so, he immediately nodded and agreed.

When Mu Shuyu arrived, the dumplings had been served to the table.

Xiao Xiaofan was holding his bowl, chewing the dumplings and eating with relish.

A deep sense of surprise was twinkling in Mu Shuyu’s eyes while he was tasting the dumplings.

Xiao Xiaodong was eating gracefully, but he might eat faster than Xiao Xiaofan.

Probably found that Xiao Xiaodong had had the second bowl, Xiao Xiaofan sped up his eating in a hurry, with the soup bursting onto his face sometimes.

“Jingting, you are really something!” Xiao Jinfeng praised his younger brother who was just graceful enough in the drawing room and skillful enough in the kitchen as well.

While all those in Xiao Jingting’s house were eating dumplings with relish, the situation in the Xiao family was in a mess.

…………

In the first family of Xiao.

“Xiao Qingyan has advanced by miraculous medicine?” Xiao Muhong stared at Sun Miaomiao and asked.

Sun Miaomiao nodded, “Yes!”

Xiao Muhong said viciously, “I’ve wondered how could him advance suddenly, so that’s the truth.”

Xiao Muhong thought to himself: If Xiao Qingyan’s cultivation had thus stuck in level six, it would be ridiculous. These days, Xiao Qingyan always put on an air of superiority before him. What the hell was that! What’s the big deal about getting advancement by medicine?

“He might have hidden this from Xiao Linfeng.” If it were known by Xiao Linfeng, he must have stopped it.

Xiao Muhong nodded, “Yeah. But now since he has taken the medicine, he has no way to spew it up.”

Sun Miaomiao narrowed her eyes and thought to herself: Due to Xiao Qingyan’s level-six advancement, Zheng Pei’er had been very arrogant for some time now, and Zheng Pei’er just spit not any kindly words to her whenever she met her. If Zheng Pei’er knew that Xiao Qingyan had advanced by medicine, her facial expression could be funny. Everything had been going against her lately, but there was one thing that would make her feel better at last.

“Xiao Qingyan must have been pushed by Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng too much to choose that,” said Xiao Muhong.

Sun Miaomiao nodded, “I think so.”

“Should we tell it to Xiao Linfeng?” asked Xiao Muhong.

Xiao Linfeng had almost wanted to announce the news to everyone on the world that Xiao Qingyan had advanced to level six. If I let him know the truth that Xiao Qingyan had advanced by medicine, he would be very disappointed. But it would also benefit Xiao Jingting in doing so.

Sun Miaomiao curled her lips and said, “It may have reached their ears before we have to tell them.”

Xiao Muhong thought it over: Right! Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu should be more informed then them.
