Chapter 11: Just Like Father
The tense mental power and the exhausted body that was barely holding on instantly felt soothed.
“This is…” Shi Anyu looked at the green plants in the yard and the tender yellow flowers along the roadside, somewhat stunned.
“These were planted by Miss An’an. Aren’t they beautiful? Miss An’an also gave me one. Young Master Anyu, look.”
Shi Xiaoxiao happily yet carefully opened her chest and took out a pot of tender green, just-sprouted, cute plant.
Shi Anyu felt that he had probably stayed up too long, and his brain couldn’t turn over.
“No, Xiao Xiao, I remember this spot on you originally had a laser cannon installed. Where is your laser cannon?”
Shi Xiaoxiao still smiled faintly. “I have applied for the latest modification assembly diagram. I plan to install the laser cannon on my arm. In the future, only my little cutie can live in my heart.”
“…………” Shi Anyu went numb. “Forget it. I’ll modify it for you when we go upstairs later. Ah~~~” As he spoke, the fatigue on Shi Anyu’s body surged violently. He now felt very comfortable and extremely wanted to lie down and sleep immediately.
“Xiao Xiao, I’ll sleep for a bit first. Don’t disturb me.” With that, Shi Anyu took out a simple folding bed from his space button and lay down in the yard to sleep just like that.
By the time Shi An’an came out, Shi Anyu had already fallen into deep sleep.
Shi An’an looked at her sleeping second brother, then at Shi Xiaoxiao. “Xiao Xiao, is it okay for Second Brother to sleep here? Should we move him to a room?”
Shi Xiaoxiao shook her head. “No need. Young Master Anyu is very safe sleeping here. The protective shield has already been activated.”
“Uh… alright.”
Shi An’an looked at the sky. A layer of transparent protective shield enveloped the surroundings like a barrier. Very good. This way, the spiritual energy in the yard wouldn’t dissipate.
This was greatly beneficial for the people living at home.
Shi An’an felt the faint spiritual energy and somewhat regretted not auditing some array classes back then. It would have been great to set up a spirit-gathering array in the yard or something. Sigh~
She looked at her second brother sleeping comfortably and saw the grayish-blue under his eyes. It was clear at a glance that he hadn’t rested for a long time.
Shi An’an thought for a moment, remembered the gift from her second brother, and kindly channeled a bit of spiritual power into his body to make him feel more comfortable.
Shi Anyu, who was in deep sleep, keenly sensed a comfortable aura flowing through his body. Although it was so comfortable that it made him want to fall asleep as a gift, his vigilant heart made him wake up immediately.
“An’an?”
Shi Anyu saw the familiar yet unfamiliar girl and immediately recognized her as his younger sister. The weapons on his body were retracted.
“Second Brother, hello.” Shi An’an didn’t expect this second brother to be so vigilant.
“Younger Sister.” Shi Anyu stood up, looking at the sister who resembled their father. There was no sense of estrangement in his heart, only gentleness in his eyes.
“You cultivated all these? Impressive! It seems you’re not only like Dad in appearance, but also in talent…”
Although Shi Anyu had only slept for a short while, he felt that his body and mental power had already recovered.
“Dad?”
Shi An’an looked at her second brother in confusion. She remembered that Father Shi was the supreme commander of the Ninth Legion before he fell into a coma?
Shi Anyu was now full of energy and in an extremely good mood. He took his younger sister into the house and took out a box from their parents’ room.
“Come, sit here.”
Shi Anyu patted the spot next to him, letting his younger sister sit.
Shi An’an curiously looked at the box in her second brother’s hand and quickly sat down.
“This is the patent and some achievements Dad obtained at the Botanical Research Institute before he joined the Ninth Legion…”
Looking at the documents in the box one by one, as well as the awards Father Shi received, Shi An’an felt shocked and puzzled.
“Dad achieved so much in planting. Why did he end up…” Shi An’an voiced her confusion.
“Ha, probably because of love, hahaha…” Shi Anyu smiled slyly. “Who made our mom only like people from the legion back then? This forced our dad to change careers. Who knew he would succeed and end up winning the beauty’s heart…”
In the following time, Second Brother gave Shi An’an a crash course on the melodramatic love story between their parents back then. Though melodramatic, it was inspiring!
“I didn’t expect Dad to decisively give up his existing achievements for Mom and embark on a completely new path. So impressive…” Shi An’an exclaimed in admiration and envy.
In the Cultivation World, because cultivators have long lifespans, they view love and life-and-death matters more lightly. Many dao companions often part ways in the end, and very few stay together.
Seeing his younger sister’s face full of envy, Shi Anyu immediately sounded the alarm in his heart and quickly said, “Of course, people like Dad are rare, almost nonexistent. Some have tried to imitate him before, but they all gave up.
Younger Sister, don’t easily believe men’s smooth talk in the future. Look at their actual efforts. Of course, some men put in effort but still aren’t good. Men all like the new and hate the old…”
In one afternoon, Shi An’an was held by her second brother for a lecture on the unreliability of interstellar men, successfully dispelling her thought of trying a dao companion.
Shi An’an returned to her room and looked at the fresh tender buds just sprouting all over the ground. Her depressed mood instantly improved.
“Sure enough, men are unreliable. Only becoming stronger oneself is the most reliable!!” Shi An’an quickly sat in meditation and continued cultivating. Men, love, and such were all thrown to the back of her mind.
First Legion
Shi Anfeng received the package his younger sister sent and immediately transferred her another considerable sum of pocket money.
Sanatorium
The moment Mother Shi received the package, she opened it and placed it by her husband’s bedside.
“So fragrant. Better quality than the green plants you gave me back then!” Mother Shi looked at the few pots of green plants on the table with great joy.
“It seems our daughter’s talent is better than yours.” Mother Shi sensed her own mental power and looked at her husband in surprise.
Considering Father Shi’s condition, Shi An’an had specially infused a large amount of spiritual power into these mint and rosemary plants, hoping they would help Father Shi’s mental power.
And the moment the green plants were brought out, the data monitoring Father Shi’s body began to change gradually…
Second Brother at home was practically no different from not being home.
Because upon returning home, Shi Anyu first helped Shi Xiaoxiao modify her body, updated the weapon library and body sensitivity…
Then added several of the latest weapons researched by their research institute to the home’s protective shield…
Next, in the last afternoon, he quickly made personalized anti-attack shields for his two younger sisters…
Shi Anyu on vacation at home was even busier than in his laboratory.
Finally, after bidding farewell to his two younger sisters, Shi Anyu was hurriedly picked up by people from the research institute.
Shi Anxin had brought back the report from testing the green plants earlier and showed it to Shi An’an.
Every tested data showed A+ quality. This result shocked everyone at the testing institution, and they all eagerly asked about the source of the green plants.
Fortunately, Lin Jinmo suppressed it. Shi Anxin looked at Shi An’an with complex feelings.
Shi An’an looked at the report, completely unconcerned. How could the quality of plants she personally planted be bad?
