Chapter 381: Chapter 276: Are You Willing to Make This Choice?
Nighttime, river dam.
The moonlight outside the window, along with the warm indoor lighting, complemented each other perfectly.
Jiang Ning sat in front of the desk, holding the mouse, browsing the computer screen.
Behind him, on a soft and comfortable sofa, Xue Yuantong wore a pink and white bunny pajama set, her wet black hair cascading down.
She curled up on the sofa, her fair skin faintly blushing, fiddling with a pile of colorful building blocks and seriously assembling them with her childlike eyes.
Usually, the computer was mostly occupied by her, but today Xue Yuantong was exceptionally disciplined, claiming that looking at the screen often was bad for the eyes and easily led to nearsightedness, so she generously gave up the screen to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning scanned some information for a while, leaned back in the chair, and considered the arrangements for Hu Qi Mountain.
"Going by the time, the first batch of Spirit Rice seems to have reached the day of maturity."
He came to such a conclusion.
Spirit Rice was the food of the Cultivation World, typically used by cultivators below the Golden Core Stage, and refining Spirit Rice could aid in cultivation.
Although it wasn’t as valuable as spirit stone elixir, it was decent in taste and was an everyday meal, so its popularity in the Cultivation World was not less than that of the former two.
Jiang Ning planned to harvest the Spirit Rice and send some to his parents in Wen City.
The Spirit Rice he grew on Hu Qi Mountain could only be considered the most ordinary quality, but if ordinary people consumed it, it would strengthen the body and prolong life without a doubt.
As Jiang Ning pondered, his hand unconsciously clicked into the game library, browsed through, and silently exited.
Xue Yuantong, tucked in the other end of the sofa, witnessed Jiang Ning’s actions from start to finish, and she wondered,
"Jiang Ning, why do you only look at games but not play them?"
She was curious, with so many games in the game library, if she weren’t worried about nearsightedness, she would definitely have a blast!
Jiang Ning: "Little kid, don’t ask so many questions, play with your blocks."
Xue Yuantong pouted, not satisfied.
She pinched a block, struck by a sudden idea: "Jiang Ning, let me show you a magic trick."
She had been craving Jiang Ning’s magic for a while, trying in every possible way to pester him, but Jiang Ning was never willing to teach her.
Xue Yuantong decided to rely on her own strength, she would prove that her magic was no worse than Jiang Ning’s!
Jiang Ning remained seated, the chair automatically turned around, facing Xue Yuantong:
"Go on."
Xue Yuantong struck a pose, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, the pile of colorful blocks hidden behind her.
"Do you believe if I randomly pick a block, I could guess its color correctly?"
Jiang Ning: "I don’t believe it."
Xue Yuantong: "Let’s make a bet then, if I win, you’ll come with me to catch sheep."
Jiang Ning was speechless, still thinking about your sheep, huh?
"And if you lose?" Jiang Ning asked.
"If I lose, I’ll buy you a small cake," Xue Yuantong generously said.
Jiang Ning agreed.
Seeing the deal was struck, Xue Yuantong boasted, "You’re done for!"
She already began to imagine the scene of eating honey-glazed lamb ribs, Xue Yuantong chuckled to herself, almost choking on her saliva.
Jiang Ning said, "Three blocks, if you can guess all their colors, you win."
"Humph, that’s too easy!"
"I’m going to start." She closed her eyes, her small hand reached behind to the pile of blocks, and with ease, she grabbed one.
She proudly said, "Blue."
Then she opened her eyes, indeed it was a blue block.
"See, I succeeded, right?"
She grabbed another: "Pink!"
And it was indeed pink again.
Xue Yuantong’s eyes were cunning, the ignorant Jiang Ning, he definitely had no idea that she had already used her memory to memorize the position of each block in the pile. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
If she wanted to, she could pick any one she pointed at.
"The last one now." Xue Yuantong was about to win the bet.
By tomorrow, she would lead her subordinate Jiang Ning to catch sheep together.
She would be in charge, and Jiang Ning would be responsible for the physical conquest.
Xue Yuantong reached with her hand to the right for a block, she remembered very clearly, that block was white.
Just as she was about to touch it.
Jiang Ning’s finger moved, remotely pulled, switched the white block with another purple block’s position.
Xue Yuantong still thought she had the white block, she smiled with her eyes closed:
"White, white, Jiang Ning, I won!"
She opened her eyes excitedly, and then was dumbfounded.
Jiang Ning: "Dummy, you have a purple one, you lost."
Xue Yuantong clenched her teeth: "How come it’s purple?"
"I clearly remembered it was white."
Jiang Ning: "Hmm? You’re cheating?"
Xue Yuantong quickly said, "I didn’t, stop talking nonsense!"
"Oh, remember to buy me a cake tomorrow," he emphasized again, "and watch me eat it."
Xue Yuantong: ’Suddenly life turned grey.’
As if in an instant, she lost all her strength and lazily collapsed on the sofa.
She didn’t even want to play with the blocks anymore.
After Jiang Ning finished punishing her, he turned back to his chair to continue thinking about his arrangements on Hu Qi Mountain.
Xue Yuantong collapsed for a while, feeling she could not fall into degradation anymore.
She had to take revenge!
Xue Yuantong mustered a lot of effort to overcome her weak body; she stood barefoot on the sofa.
With a leap to the west side, she agilely jumped onto Jiang Ning’s bed.
After the jump, she tiptoed, took down a coat Jiang Ning had hung up, and rummaged out his scarf.
Xue Yuantong wrapped her upper body in the coat, which ended up being too large for her, completely enveloping her and making her look even smaller.
Xue Yuantong, without care, wrapped the scarf as well.
She stood on the bed, mimicking Jiang Ning’s walk, she cleared her throat, then said:
"Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Ning, don’t think I’m always serious, in fact, you don’t know, I am a big bad guy who does all kinds of evil, today I used despicable means to win Xue Yuantong’s cake, I am guilty, I repent."
Jiang Ning: "..."
...
At half-past eleven at night, Xue Yuantong left satisfied.
