The second day of the trip to the Lava Purgatory with Xiao Qi.
On the balcony, Tian Tian, who was wearing light blue pajamas, sat on a low plastic stool, earnestly looking at the transparent glass in front of her.
"It was that feeling just then. Just a little bit more … just a little bit more …"
"This time, you have to succeed."
The two little hands touched each other, and little Tian Tian bit her lips with a serious look on her face as she stared at the ordinary-looking glass. She took in a deep breath and pointed at the glass with her right hand as she held her breath … after a while, when her face was completely red, she opened her mouth and yelled, "Look at how awesome I, Tian Tian, am … turned into two!!"
Under the sunlight, a faintly discernible ray of light suddenly flashed. Then, it turned into a solid, somewhat dazzling ray of light.
This light came from the reflection of the glass … in front of Tian Tian, a glass that was exactly the same as the one from before had strangely appeared, right next to the one from before.
"Wah!!!!"
Tian Tian stared in shock for a while before standing up from the stool and excitedly yelling, "Success, success!!"
Tian Tian's already red face became even redder as she carefully picked up the two glasses and carefully examined them. She then quickly ran to the living room while yelling at Ling Chen and Shui Ruo, "Big brother, big sister, come look!!"
Ling Chen was lying on the sofa, reading a fairytale book with great interest … in order to satisfy Leng 'Er's desire to hear stories every day, he forced himself to read the fairytale book, and found … that it was actually quite good. Hearing Tian Tian's yelling, Ling Chen peeked out from the fairy tale book. Seeing Tian Tian run over like a gust of wind, he inwardly sighed. It seemed that this short period of peace was about to end. He helplessly put down the fairy tale book and weakly said, "Why are you so excited … I'll say this first, don't drag me to play video games."
"Big brother, look!" Tian Tian carefully placed the two glasses on the table in front of him and excitedly pointed at them, "Look, look, I turned them into two! My magic is already starting to recover! Wonderful, wonderful!! "
Ling Chen could clearly feel the muscles on his face twitching … Damn it, we already have two of these cups at home, okay! Your method of bluffing is too low-end.
Ling Chen immediately adjusted his facial expression and said with a smile and admiration, "Wow! It could actually turn a cup into two! Tian Tian was simply too amazing! As expected of the great Demon King! Tian Tian has to work harder and recover more mana. That way, he will be invincible! "
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!" The Great Demon Queen, who had finally recovered a bit of her magic power, was clearly in a good mood. She happily agreed and stretched out her white and tender palm. "Big Brother, let me show you my recovered magic power … I can turn these two cups into three, look!"
After saying that, Little Tian Tian focused and stretched out her finger, releasing magic power as she shouted, "Become three!"
One second passed …
Three seconds passed …
Five seconds passed …
Then, nothing happened.
Ling Chen was speechless. "Ehhhhhh!!" Little Tian Tian was dumbfounded. "It was working just now, why can't it work again? It really worked just now, I, I … I'll try again!"
"Become three!"
… …
"Become three!!"
… …
"Ahem, Tian Tian," Ling Chen couldn't stand it anymore and had to help the aggrieved little Tian Tian, who was about to cry. "You've only recovered a bit of mana, and after using it once, your mana will be used up. You'll need to rest for a while before you can use it again, so you definitely can't use it now. But that's alright, you'll definitely succeed tomorrow … Moreover, since you've started to recover, your mana will recover more and more, and it will become stronger and stronger. "
Hearing Ling Chen's' very reasonable 'explanation, little Tian Tian finally stopped panicking and let out a small sigh of relief. She then nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice, "Yes, big brother is right! That must be it, I thought that my mana had completely disappeared. I'll show it to big brother tomorrow, I'll tell big sister about this first! "
Tian Tian then picked up two glasses and ran into the kitchen. After a while, the voices of two girls could be heard from the kitchen.
"Big sister, big sister, look, my mana has recovered a bit, and I can now turn one glass into two. Look, look."
Ling Chen understood how Shui Ruo felt at this moment. With how much she spoiled Tian Tian, her reaction would definitely be gentler than his.
As expected …
"Wow! Tian Tian's so amazing! Can you teach big sister some other day? "
"Ah? This … This doesn't seem to be teachable. "
"Alright, it's alright. Big sister will continue to teach you how to cook, alright?"
The two of them had only talked for a while before the topic was brought up by Shui Ruo. As for the 'mana recovery', she had probably forgotten about it.
"Wuu … can I not learn? Cooking is so hard, and I can't do it well. "
"How could that be? Tian Tian has always improved very quickly, and big brother said the same thing. Moreover, if Tian Tian learns how to cook, she can make whatever she wants to eat. If I'm not at home one day, Tian Tian can cook for big brother. That way, big brother will definitely like Tian Tian more and love her more. "
"But I've already learned from big sister so many times, and the food I make still tastes so bad …"
Looking at the clock on the wall, Ling Chen threw the fairytale book aside and quickly sent a message on his phone. He then stood up and walked towards the kitchen, announcing, "Alright, we don't need to cook for lunch today. Let's go out for a picnic!"
"Picnic? Wow, really?? Agree! Agree!! "
Tian Tian, who had been frowning and preparing to continue learning from Shui Ruo, jumped up and down in excitement, almost pouncing on Ling Chen. Seeing how relieved she looked, Shui Ruo couldn't help but laugh. She put down the vegetables in her hands and stood up, saying, "Big brother, it's already noon, and it'll take a long time to prepare for a picnic. How about we go in the afternoon? That way, we'll have time to prepare."
"No need, everything's already been prepared, and the location has already been chosen. After changing, we can go out. We don't need to prepare anything else. "
… …
Less than 10 minutes later, the sound of a car horn could be heard, and the three of them walked out to find a spacious, luxurious SUV parked outside.
"Let's go up. Everything we need for the picnic has already been prepared. There's drinks, food, cushions, fire equipment, barbecue grills … there seems to be even a tent. "Ling Chen and Shui Ruo each led Tian Tian towards the car. A man wearing a cap got out of the front passenger seat and opened the door for them, then respectfully stood to the side.
"Wow! What a cool car. Big brother, big sister, is this our car? And these two uncles, are they big brother's friends? "
"Mm, they're big brother's friends. Alright, let's get in the car," Shui Ruo smiled as she replied, and she and Ling Chen brought Tian Tian into the car. Shui Ruo had never seen these two people before, but she could roughly guess what they were. In the past, she didn't know about Ling Chen's past, nor did she know that there was a terrifying faction by Ling Chen's side … it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a group of monsters that had walked out from 'hell'. It was only because of the Sword Emperor that he had revealed everything to Shui Ruo. This was the first time he had exposed these people to her.
In response, Shui Ruo didn't ask anything.
On the way, the two people in the front didn't say anything … without Ling Chen saying anything, they didn't dare to say anything. They were people who secretly protected Ling Chen's home, and their only task was to protect Shui Ruo. All of them knew what kind of position Ling Shui Ruo held in Ling Chen's heart. They also knew that although their mission seemed easy, it was actually incredibly important.
The one who spoke the most was naturally Tian Tian. This was the first time she had sat in a car after coming to Earth, and she was so excited that she couldn't calm down. She would go left and right, and she would occasionally stick her head out of the window, giving Shui Ruo quite a fright. Many of her childish words made the two people in the driver's seat, who had been keeping a straight face, burst into laughter several times.
Seeing Shui Ruo nervously holding onto Tian Tian's hand and clothes, afraid that she would do something dangerous in the car, Ling Chen couldn't help but sigh … Shui Ruo was only 16 years old, and she was still a child. She liked pretty clothes, ice cream, being piggybacked by him, and rolling around on the bed with pillows. However, after Tian Tian's arrival, her childishness completely disappeared. In order to take care of Tian Tian, she became more like an adult, especially in front of Tian Tian. She no longer acted like a child in front of Ling Chen.
There was a saying that a man or woman only truly matured after they had children. The change in Shui Ruo … was that she now treated Tian Tian like a daughter.
Nearly an hour later, they arrived at their destination.
Ling Chen had originally chosen a park at the top of the mountain, but he suddenly remembered the place where they had their first picnic after moving into Shui Ruo's home. Ever since Shui Ruo contracted Isloka, they hadn't had a picnic in the wild. As such, he had them find a place that was natural and comfortable, and wouldn't be disturbed by others.
This was the edge of a small forest. Birds were chirping and cicadas were chirping. A cool breeze was blowing under the shade of the trees. Not far away, there was a stream that was only a few meters wide. The gurgling sound of water could be heard. There weren't any traces of other people around, and it seemed that no one would disturb them.
