Chapter 427 - 424 Heavenly Master 131
This time, Shuangshuang stayed on the mountain for two whole months! She only went back home after feeling that her mana had significantly strengthened.
Having not seen her master for two months, Shuangshuang stopped by the seafood market on her way, planning to make something nice to eat today. She went straight to an old customer’s house she frequented.
The boss of this house is a very honest businessman, never short-changes and offers fresh goods. He is warm-hearted and humorous, enjoying casual chats with customers. Shuangshuang always buys her seafood here.
When Shuangshuang arrived, not only was the boss there, but also his son, a boy of about twelve or thirteen. When Shuangshuang came over, the boy was engrossed in a game on his phone, with dark circles under his eyes, clearly lacking sleep, probably sneaking in games at night!
The boss warmly came over to help Shuangshuang pick out seafood and chatted with her as well, since Shuangshuang was a regular customer. He knew she wasn’t much of a talker, but that didn’t matter; he could chat enthusiastically all by himself!
Shuangshuang actually enjoyed listening to the boss’s small talk, but today, one of the stories from the boss wasn’t very pleasant. He mentioned that a friend of his son, who loved playing games together, woke up one night and had suddenly become a vegetative state! The doctors had seen him countless times but couldn’t figure out why the child ended up that way!
Shuangshuang didn’t pay much attention, thinking it was just a random matter, as healing the sick wasn’t within the Heavenly Master’s responsibilities.
That evening, Shuangshuang reunited with her master and had a hearty meal. With her textbook-level cooking skills, she managed to lure out Little Shun and Xi Lan, who were in closed training, along with the ever-smart Mo’er!
Perhaps cats are naturally drawn to fish; the table was laden with seafood. Between Shuangshuang, Chen Qi, Xi Lan, and Little Shun, they didn’t even finish half of it. The rest ended up in Mo’er’s belly, prompting Xi Lan and Little Shun to chase Mo’er, marveling at how he could fit food several times his size into that little stomach!
Early the next day, Shuangshuang was urged by a call from her class teacher to attend an exam. As soon as she entered the classroom, she heard her desk mate Han Qiao Yu chatting with some classmates. Seeing Shuangshuang, Han Qiao Yu greeted her and continued chatting.
Shuangshuang didn’t mind Han Qiao Yu’s indifferent attitude these days. She sat down to the side and began flipping through the Taoist Book she’d brought, a new text from her master Chen Qi. The Taoist skills within were quite intriguing, and Shuangshuang was completely engrossed.
Nearby, Han Qiao Yu was gossiping with some classmates, sitting in a circle discussing the current popular topic of homebodies. One student lamented, "If I didn’t have to go to school, I’d definitely spend three years as a homebody just to rest! School every day is exhausting!"
Han Qiao Yu mockingly laughed at the girl, "I haven’t seen you listen in school at all, how are you so tired? Anyway, being a shut-in isn’t easy either. I heard a creepy story from my neighbor!"
