To celebrate Bai Xinyi's safe return, Bai Lanzhi killed an A-grade spirit chicken the size of a small mountain today and prepared numerous grand dishes: Gong Bao Spirit Chicken Cubes, Spirit Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms, Huadiao Spirit Chicken, White Cut Spirit Chicken, Salt and Pepper Spirit Chicken, Soy Sauce Spirit Chicken, Saliva Spirit Chicken, Braised Spirit Chicken, Smoked Spirit Chicken, and Spicy Diced Spirit Chicken. The table was laden with food.
Spirit chickens were the favorite of the Celestial Fox clan, and Bai Xinyi had been missing chicken for a long time…
Logically, a chicken the size of a small mountain wouldn't fit in a villa. However, to enhance the texture and make it easier to eat, Bai Lanzhi used her great powers to compress the spirit chicken to the size of an adult cow. Under special cooking techniques, the meat was dense yet tender and smooth, filling the entire villa with an enticing aroma.
"Mom, your cooking is truly amazing. The smell is making my mouth water," Yu Zhibo said, taking a plate of braised chicken from Bai Lanzhi. He took a deep breath, his face showing a look of ecstasy.
"If it's delicious, eat more later!" Bai Lanzhi replied with a smile. Most of the dishes were ready, with only a large casserole bubbling away in the corner of the kitchen, the Bamboo Fungus Coconut Chicken still being cooked.
The table in the villa was a spirit table. By inputting spirit energy, one could freely control the table's area and shape, making it very convenient.
Seeing that there was no more space for dishes, Yu Zhibo channeled spirit energy to expand the tabletop a bit more. After placing the dishes, he looked them over with satisfaction.
"Chicken stew is here~" Bai Lanzhi walked out of the kitchen with a smile, a huge casserole suspended behind her, a full meter and a half in diameter.
"Mom, let me!" Yu Zhibo politely stepped forward, preparing to take it with his mental power.
"Good son-in-law, you just sit properly. Mom can manage herself," Bai Lanzhi said, looking at him affectionately. She walked to the table and lightly tapped it with her fingers. Instantly, a thumb-sized cylinder emerged from the center of the tabletop, then curved outwards and upwards about a meter above the surface, splitting and bending like tentacles, forming a perfect tray stand.
Bai Lanzhi controlled her mental power to place the chicken stew on it, then neatly arranged the cutlery.
"Mom, are Dad and third brother not ready yet?" Yu Zhibo asked, not sitting down, but finding a sofa to sit on.
"They should be soon," Bai Lanzhi replied and went to clean the kitchen.
So, Yu Zhibo sat on the sofa and started reading a novel.
It had to be said that after the announcement of the supernatural, all industries experienced a boom. Not to mention anything else, the online literature industry alone had seen many supernaturals join.
After becoming supernatural, the brain regions of supernaturals were developed to varying degrees, leading to a leap in both thinking and energy. Some novels written by supernaturals had intricate plots and grand background designs, making readers clap their hands in amazement and praise.
"It's a shame that even though the writing is good, the updates are still too slow. I really want to drag the author into a dark room!" Yu Zhibo closed the software after finishing the latest chapter, and just as he was about to check the news, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him.
It was Wang Shouyi, accompanied by Bai Xinyi and Bai Chanyi.
"Bōbo~"
As soon as Bai Chanyi appeared, she rushed towards Yu Zhibo like a swallow through the forest, her face beaming with unconcealed joy and affection.
"Hey, be careful!"
Yu Zhibo flipped his palm, storing his phone in the Pure Land space, and nervously opened his arms, embracing Bai Chanyi's soft, delicate body.
Wang Shouyi and Bai Xinyi watched this scene and felt a pang of sadness.
"Bōbo, I missed you so much~" Bai Chanyi nudged Yu Zhibo's chest with her little head, greedily breathing in his scent, making cat-like murmurs.
Perhaps it was because she had transformed into a cat before, but even though she had now recovered her Celestial Fox form and transformed into human shape, Bai Chanyi was still very attached to Yu Zhibo, practically a human cat-girl.
"I missed you too!" Yu Zhibo said with a soft smile. Although he was only seventeen, he had read many romance novels and had a strong yearning for the life of having a wife, children, and a warm hearth.
And now, he had a wife, and a child was about to be born; his days were becoming more hopeful.
Yu Zhibo gently stroked Bai Chanyi's slightly bulging belly, his gaze soft.
"Wife, you've made such a lavish meal!" Wang Shouyi looked at the large table of dishes with admiration.
"Then eat more later!" The speed at which supernaturals cleaned the kitchen was incredibly fast. When Bai Lanzhi emerged from the kitchen, the entire kitchen was already dry, tidy, and spotless.
"Wife, you've worked hard. Come here for a kiss!" Wang Shouyi glanced at Yu Zhibo, put his arm around Bai Lanzhi's waist, and kissed her on the cheek.
"Oh, you! The children are here!" Bai Lanzhi playfully patted his chest, then took his hand and led him to the head of the table. She then beckoned Yu Zhibo and his wife, and their third son, "Let's eat, what are you waiting for."
Bai Xinyi: "..." Why do I feel like I'm superfluous…
Bai Chanyi held Yu Zhibo's hand, her expression joyful, her eyes full of happiness. "Bōbo, eat more! Mother's cooking is delicious!"
As she spoke, she found a place to sit and, without waiting for Wang Shouyi and his wife to start eating, directly picked up a huge chicken butt.
In her impression, the chicken butt was the most delicious part of a chicken. Even though she now possessed human common sense, she still felt that way.
Yu Zhibo's mouth twitched uncontrollably: that chicken butt was clearly as big as a human head, glistening with oil, its skin tight and springy.
Ordinary chicken butts were already quite gamey; wouldn't an A-grade spirit chicken butt be outrageously so?
But to his surprise, this chicken butt was not gamey at all. The A-grade spirit chicken was pure and without impurities, on a completely different level from ordinary chickens. Instead, it carried a tempting fragrance.
Bai Xinyi looked at the chicken butt, her throat bobbing.
Yu Zhibo mused, it seemed that when Wang Shouyi gave the chicken butt to his children to eat back then, it wasn't intentional trickery, but that the Celestial Fox clan truly liked eating chicken butts.
"Xiao Jiu, I don't like chicken butts. How about you share it with Third Brother?" Yu Zhibo politely declined. Whether it was delicious or not was one thing, but he really didn't want to eat such a large chicken butt.
Hearing this, Bai Chanyi pondered for a moment and said, "Give it all to Third Brother. I often get to eat it at home!"
Seeing that Yu Zhibo didn't like it, Bai Chanyi's filial piety once again took precedence over her intellect. The words "Give it all to Third Brother" melted Bai Xinyi's heart with emotion.
Indeed, a good sister was still a good sister, knowing how to care for her brother.
Wang Shouyi looked at the scene and chuckled. Then, Bai Lanzhi pinched his waist, so he picked a chicken wing for Bai Lanzhi and said, "Wife, eat this!"
For himself, he picked up half a chicken head, the size of a stainless steel washbasin.
The family began to feast.
The meal was extremely enjoyable. The A-grade spirit chicken contained incredibly pure spirit energy. Under Bai Lanzhi's care, it had not developed intelligence, and its meat was delicious. It was quickly devoured, leaving everyone full.
After the meal, Yu Zhibo stayed in the villa with Bai Chanyi for a few more hours. When Bai Chanyi reluctantly returned to the fragmented space within Wang Shouyi's brow, he leisurely walked into the villa's cultivation room to begin refining the chaotic energy transformed from the five chains within his body.
He had a feeling that after refining the chaotic energy within him, he would have the hope of breaking through to the verge of the法则 (Fǎzé - Law/Principle) level. However, to enter the Law level, he would likely need to prepare further.
Thank you to Gu Ren Yun for the encouragement and gifts from other friends.
