Chapter 1103: Chapter 54: Give Me a Reason to Return Home

Miss Bai Zhi’s culinary skills are as exquisite as her divine techniques.

Or maybe it’s actually a form of divine skill itself.

After all, her other side, the Holy Mother of Red Lotus, is regarded as a guardian deity of family and marriage in Tianmen.

It’s only natural for her to possess corresponding powers.

In just a matter of ten minutes, she single-handedly whipped up a table full of sumptuous dinner, with both meat and vegetables, pleasing in color, aroma, and taste.

People who don’t normally cook may not grasp what kind of concept this is.

To put it this way, if you boil a packet of instant noodles, starting with boiling water, then add an egg or sausage or something, it will probably take about the same amount of time.

Wang Yunxiao, holding a bowl of steaming white rice, seriously doubted whether the lady used some sort of power to manipulate the flow of time in the kitchen.

They were all home-cooked dishes, and they were authentic Chinese cuisine.

If you really want to nitpick and say there’s a flaw, it might be that spending too much time outside has slightly altered the flavors of the dishes compared to local taste.

Concerning such minor issues, even Wang Yunxiao, with low emotional intelligence, wouldn’t express them openly.

Yang Qiming, holding his bowl of rice, was full of emotion.

“I almost don’t remember the last time I ate food cooked by you, eldest sister.”

“Twelve years ago when you went to Cypher.”

“Oh, right, it’s been twelve years in the blink of an eye, time flies so fast.”

Yang Qiming turned to ask Wang Yunxiao, “Are you curious about my relationship with my elder sister?”

Wang Yunxiao thought to himself that he wasn’t really that curious.

Right now, his mind was occupied with thoughts about whether his wife could survive.

But since the chief had started the conversation, it wasn’t appropriate to show a bad attitude.

“They’re not blood relatives, right?”

“Certainly not.”

Yang Qiming nodded, “If it weren’t for the care of my eldest brother and sister, I wouldn’t have necessarily survived back then.”

Bai Zhi glanced at him, “What made you think of mentioning this suddenly?”

Yang Qiming shook his head, “It’s nothing, just feeling how young people nowadays live much better, unlike the hardships we faced.”

What does that mean? A reminiscence about hardships and sweetness?

Wang Yunxiao still didn’t quite understand.

“He means that during his childhood, lives were cheap and not valued. If you found a beggar on the street and filled his stomach, he would be grateful to you,”

Li Yunyu explained nearby, “In comparison, the current generation’s spirits are different, their mental levels have improved. He’s treating you so well, even having his elder sister personally cook for you, yet you show no gratitude.”

What should I do? Perform a dramatic gratitude gesture right now, kneel, and express overwhelming gratitude?

Wang Yunxiao was utterly puzzled.

Yang Qiming helplessly said, “I didn’t mean that, don’t take it the wrong way.”

Li Yunyu raised her eyebrows, “Don’t think I can’t see your little intentions? You think everyone has the same strong desire to perform as the Yang Family?”

“Okay, okay, you say what you want.”

Yang Qiming sighed and buried himself in eating.

Wang Yunxiao held his bowl, not sure whether to continue eating or stop.

“Just ignore them two, eat what you like.”

Miss Bai Zhi gently said, “Words are empty, wasting food is the greatest disrespect to the chef.”

Alright then…

“Tonight, you and Mumu don’t need to leave, I see there are many empty rooms here, choose any one you’d like.”

Li Mumu coughed violently.

Wang Yunxiao hurriedly said, “Miss, Mumu and I…”

“I know.”

Bai Zhi gently said, “I have something to discuss with you later, and tomorrow morning there are matters that need your attention. It’s more convenient if you stay. As for your personal matters as a couple, I won’t meddle.”

Yang Qiming whispered, “If you have something to assign, just let me know.”

“You’re in a high position now, it’s inconvenient for you to do things.”

“I have many subordinates.”

“For family matters, it’s best handled by family rather than troubling outsiders.”

Yang Qiming nodded and looked at Wang Yunxiao meaningfully.

The hint of jealousy was palpable.

Since they said so, Wang Yunxiao had no other choice but to agree reluctantly.

After anxiously finishing the meal, Wang Yunxiao and Li Mumu stood up to wash the dishes. Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi raised her hand and with a light wave, all the plates and utensils floated up on their own, lining up as they headed to the kitchen.

“Don’t waste time on trivial matters.”

Bai Zhi took a napkin and carefully wiped the little girl’s mouth, standing up as she moved to Lucia’s whiteboard.

“Where were you in the story?”

“We just got to the part where an ancestor of the Xu Family modified the world line,”

Lucia giggled, “I’ve left the exciting parts for you!”

“You think this is a storytelling session?”

Bai Zhi glared at her without amusement, then sat down and spoke to Wang Yunxiao and Li Mumu, “The stories of the Xu Family aren’t much to tell, I believe you’re not exactly interested in them now. Let’s begin directly with the Doomsday Plan.”

“To be honest, it’s not that we wish to actively push a new Doomsday Plan, but rather, when doomsday arrives, we have no choice but to find every possible means of survival.”

“So, when you asked whether starting the plan now would be significantly different in resources and technology compared to two hundred years later—the answer is yes, there would be differences, with productivity being vastly different. But conversely, should we just sit and wait for doom because of these differences?”

“The Star Disc Plan can’t be considered a thorough and meticulous plan. It’s merely about using the resources we currently have to preserve as much living force as possible when the great tide arrives.”

“Among them, you’re already involved in the Star Plan, which is the twelve laws cultivation system compiled and edited by the President, the third lady… The main goal of this project is to transform ancient mysterious knowledge into educational material that aligns with modern understanding and narratives, cultivating twenty-eight Star Monarchs to anchor our current world line through different perspectives of high-dimensional cognition.”

“As for the Compass Plan, it’s the backup plan for the Star Plan. Since promoting the Star Plan requires at least ten, twenty, or even more years to build a complete twenty-eight constellation anchor system, and the great tide can hit anytime, all our current preparations might be wiped out by the tide’s shockwave.”

“Therefore, first and foremost, we need to construct a Space-Time Beacon, allowing those children swept away by the tide’s shockwave to find a clear direction home. But the real challenge of this plan doesn’t lie in the beacon, but in you.”

“You are seeds selected after numerous trials in your respective world lines, resilient souls capable of resisting the erosion of space-time tides. No matter where you’re swept, you’ll land, take root, grow quickly, and fulfill your mission.”

“Even if you return to the past or traverse parallel worlds, even if your memories are erased, you can still rewrite your legendary stories, leaving distinct traces in history.”

“Then, what reason could there be for you to spare no effort to return here after leaving?”
