Blessed Heavenly Garden was located in Tiger Forest Region. This time, they were on Level 3 combat readiness.
They had been fighting for decades, and monsters attacking cities had become a daily occurrence.
The old men and women were still practicing ancient martial arts in the small square.
The children swung polished monster bones and circled around their grandparents. They played the game of Earthlings fighting monsters.
There were also a few middle school students who had left school early. They had nothing better to do and were talking about whether Dragon City should gather all its resources to develop transmigration technology so that they could transmigrate back to Earth.
"Big Brother!"
Meng Chao went around the field when someone suddenly called out to him.
He turned his head around and saw a girl in a middle school uniform dragging a huge and heavy metal bucket. She looked like a hardworking ant dragging food that was several times larger than its body.
The girl was very cute. She looked like a flower that was about to bloom.
Her eyes were curved, and she looked a little mischievous.
Her uniform was a size too big, and it made her look even more petite and exquisite.
She jumped around and waved her hands. "Come and help me! I'm so tired!"
"Oh."
Meng Chao was a little dazed. He walked to his sister.
When he saw her pretty face that had yet to grow up, he felt a stab of pain in his head again.
It was as if a burning steel needle had pierced his temple and stimulated the deepest parts of his mind, releasing crystalline memory fragments.
Her black and beautiful long hair had turned into burning purple hair. Her gem-like black eyes shone with a bewitching light. She had a pair of wide wings covered in blood capillaries on her back, and she looked like a demon that had descended from hell. There was a mysterious and evil smile on her lips, and her beauty was so great that it could scare half of the Other World's living beings to death.
This was the Dark Witch.
Wherever she went, she would bring endless darkness with her.
"Big Brother? Hehe … "
Meng Chao felt like he could see his sister, who had turned into the Dark Witch a long time in the future. She would step on him and smile mysteriously.
"Meow meow meow?"
'I didn't expect you to be this sort of sister!'
"Big Brother, what's wrong?"
She waved her hand in front of her brother's eyes and found it strange. "You look like a mouse that saw a cat."
"It's … It's fine. What's this? It's so heavy."
"Hey, it's all because of Dad. He heard that the army conquered another Iron-armored Rhinoceros' nest, so he quickly went to the supply and marketing cooperative to queue up. He really bought a huge bucket of beef. He said that it was much cheaper than the market, but it's too heavy!" The girl pouted.
"Where's Dad? How can you carry it?"
"Dad is still queuing for the second round at the supply and marketing cooperative. He wants to see if there is any beef bone marrow. I dragged it all the way back. Hehe, isn't it awesome?"
The little girl put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest. Her eyes were filled with pride.
"Let go. Let me do it."
"Let's carry it together. You were injured, and Mom and Dad told you not to do heavy work."
"What kind of heavy work is this? Let go, careful not to hit your feet. Help me carry my bag."
Meng Chao bent down, lowered his shoulders, and picked up the entire bucket of Iron-armored Rhinoceros meat.
Bai Jiacao sighed in relief and massaged her sore and short arms and legs.
She was also a little nervous. She carefully observed her brother's steps and posture, afraid that he would get hurt again.
Meng Chao's eyelids twitched.
He was a little flattered that the Dark Witch, who would bring disaster to the entire Other World in the future, cared about him so much.
Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Ouch!"
Bai Jiacao could not stop herself and bumped into her older brother. She rubbed her nose and let out a displeased cry.
Meng Chao turned around with a strange gaze.
"Big Brother, what are you doing?" Bai Jiacao felt her skin crawl.
"Let me ask you something. Are you displeased with me?"
"No way, Big Brother. Why would I be displeased?" 'Duh. Of course I'm displeased. You're a bad brother!'
"Do I usually treat you badly and bully you?"
"No way. Big Brother, you're the best to me. You never bully me." 'Of course not. You bully me every day. You're a demon king. I can't believe you have the guts to ask me this sort of question!'
"If, and I'm saying if, one day, you obtain power, will you trample me under your feet?"
"Oh my god, my dear big brother, what are you thinking? Why would I trample you under my feet? Would I be so brutal?" 'Hehe, you guessed it right. If I obtain power, the first thing I'll do is to trample on you, bad big brother. I'll do it with all my might. Oh, hehehehe!'
Bai Jiacao tried her best to control her facial expressions.
But when she thought about how she would become the master and step on her bully big brother's head with her head held high, the girl … could not control herself!
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes.
Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed his little sister's head. He rubbed it hard.
"Big Brother, did I offend you? You're bullying me again!"
Bai Jiacao was angry and anxious. Her face turned red.
"Do I need a reason to bully my little sister?"
Meng Chao was in a great mood. 'Who told you to step on me after you turned into the Dark Witch?
'While I can still beat you, I'll have my fill first.'
Speaking of which, since he had returned from his nightmare, he would not allow any misfortune to fall on his family.
'Sis, I won't let you turn into the Dark Witch that everyone is afraid of. You should be the happiest, prettiest, and most loved princess in the whole city … No, in the Other World!'
As Meng Chao thought about it, he messed up the princess' hair even more.
Blessed Heavenly Garden, Block 19, Unit 3.
Due to the lack of electricity and monster invasions, elevators were rarely installed in the buildings of this era.
The adults were used to lizards crawling on walls, so they went home through the window.
It did not take much effort for the teenagers to walk up the stairs.
Meng Chao and Bai Jiacao moved the Iron-armored Rhinoceros Meat around until they arrived at Room 704.
The paint on the alloy door had peeled off, and there was a sign with the words "Five Good Families" pinned on it.
Sixty-five skulls with deformed horns had been sprayed under the sign. Each of the skulls had a red cross on them.
It meant that this family had already killed sixty-five monsters.
The familiar yet unfamiliar scene made Meng Chao feel a lump in his throat.
He had grown up in a normal family.
Seventeen years ago, after a monster invasion, Meng Yishan, a retired soldier, heard a baby crying in the ruins.
Meng Yishan bravely saved the baby, and not only did he manage to save the baby, he also managed to save a girl whose legs were a bloody mess.
The girl was badly injured. Meng Yishan took good care of her, and they got married.
The baby was their matchmaker. When they heard that the boy lost his parents in the monster invasion, they adopted him.
This was Meng Chao.
Even though they were not related by blood, his adoptive parents treated Meng Chao as their own.
Even when Bai Jiacao, the crystallization of their love, was born, it did not change.
In his nightmare, the family of four lived a peaceful and happy life for twenty years before it came to an abrupt end in chaos.
After he returned from his nightmare, Meng Chao decided to protect everything forever.
"Mom, I'm back!"
There was a key in his pocket, but Meng Chao could not help but call out to her.
The small but clean room was as stuffy as a steamer.
The open-plan kitchen was squeezed into the small living room, and Bai Suxin was sweating profusely in front of the stove.
When the woman saw that her children were home, she was filled with joy, and the wrinkles on her face smoothed out.
"You have really good noses. You came back at the right time."
Bai Suxin brought over a plate of golden food. "Eat the spring rolls while they're hot. They're made of Nine-eyed Fish, and it's a new breed that has just mutated. No one has seen it before, and they don't really dare to eat it. They're cheap, so I bought a lot of them. If they're delicious, I'll make more in the future."
"Mom!"
Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath and took the spring roll his mother personally fried with trembling hands. He took a careful bite.
It was delicious.
The meat was sweet.
It was as if he had not tasted sweetness for years.
"This child, why are you crying when you're just eating a spring roll?"
Bai Suxin looked at Meng Chao, then at Bai Jiacao.
Bai Jiacao made a face and tapped her temple to signal her mother. "Big Brother's brain must have gone haywire today!"
"Mom, Young Cao, go into the house and rest for a while. I'll make dinner." A thought appeared in Meng Chao's mind, and his memories flashed. He was eager to try.
"You know how to cook?"
Bai Suxin was surprised and touched. She waved her hand and said, "Rest. Both of you must be tired from school. I'll just stir-fry some pork liver. Listen to the door. Your dad just called. He said that he bought beef bone marrow."
"It's fine. I'm tired from studying, so I'm going to stir-fry a few dishes to refresh my mind."
Meng Chao did not allow her to say anything. He took off Bai Suxin's apron and tied it around himself. Then, he picked up the kitchen knife and twirled it around. His movements looked very familiar.
"Our Chao 'er has really grown up," Bai Suxin said with a smile.
"Big Brother, can you do it? The liver of a Demonic Halberd Pig is very difficult to prepare. If you're not careful, it'll turn fishy and smelly." Bai Jiacao did not believe him.
Usually, her stupid big brother could only cook instant noodles and dumplings. Fried eggs was his limit.
The procedures to make the liver of a Demonic Halberd Pig tasty were very complicated. Even a normal housewife would have a hard time cooking it.
"Let me do it. Big Brother, move aside."
The girl walked over out of habit.
Usually, when her mother's legs hurt, she was the one who cooked.
But against her expectations, before she could take the kitchen knife from Meng Chao's hands, Bai Jiacao's eyes lit up.
