112: We are a three-generation family.

Ultimately, Yun Mengyao still took an egg of the Spirit Leaf Insect, but she also promised to send Lin Chen an item of equivalent value.

Of course, Bai Sitong did not mind, and she kept saying that this was a betrothal gift, which made Yun Mengyao so embarrassed that she ran to the back mountain to find Yun Zhengqing before the sun even set, leaving the two of them staring blankly at each other.

"Tsk~~~ How boring~~~" The two of them scoffed at each other and returned to their rooms to attend to their own matters.

Lin Chen needed to organize the follow-up cultivation plans for the Morning Dew and the Angelica, and Bai Sitong also had to research training plans for her newly Spirit Contracted Flame Lion; this was not only necessary for her, but Lin Chen would also use it in the future.

The two of them were busy with their own affairs until night fell, and Bai Chunhua and Teacher finally returned from the back mountain.

"Phew~~~ I'm exhausted. I can finally rest!" Bai Chunhua leaned on the sofa, sighing with relief.

"Rest? Why rest? We just sent a batch of Fire-element Spirit Beasts back! You go back to the school tomorrow and check for me. Do not let me go back and find that those old things have divided them up until none are left!" Teacher, thinking of the Spirit Beasts Lin Chen had given her, patted Bai Chunhua's thigh and urged him.

"No, that is your ecological zone. What business do I have going back? You should just go back! I can stay here and accompany Xiao Chen until he finishes the College Entrance Examination!" Bai Chunhua was a bit reluctant; going back meant having to continue working, and nothing was as comfortable as slacking off here.

"Accompany? What can you accompany? Can you cook? Or can you take care of the farm? And my ecological zone? Look at your Spirit Beasts—will they even be able to go in and enjoy life later!" Teacher glared at her husband and snapped back angrily.

Bai Chunhua was speechless. He was a combat-type Beast Tamer and truly had to rely on his wife when it came to Spirit Beast cultivation. If he angered Teacher, not only would he suffer later, but the Spirit Beasts he had contracted would also suffer along with him.

"Alright, alright! I will go back tomorrow, and I promise none of your Spirit Beasts will be missing! How about that?" Bai Chunhua quickly placated her.

"You said that! If even one is missing, I will hold you accountable!" Teacher glared at him threateningly.

"Yes, yes, yes! If one is missing, it is my fault!" Bai Chunhua quickly agreed, thinking, "As if you even know how many Spirit Beasts were sent over?"

"That is more like it!"

As the two were talking, Bai Sitong and Lin Chen heard the commotion and walked downstairs.

Grandma and Grandpa's relationship had always been very good. Perhaps due to their youthful appearance, they were always energetic, and in private, they would often bicker like a young couple.

"Mom! Stop bullying Dad! Since it is such a long trip, why do not you just go back with him? Xiao Chen and I are planning to enter the secret realm again tomorrow for about a week. Why do not you two come back after a week?" Bai Sitong defended her elderly father.

"I bullied him? When did I bully him? If you are unhappy, go back with him!" Teacher said angrily, causing Bai Sitong to immediately fall silent and helplessly spread her hands toward Bai Chunhua.

"Grandma, do not be angry. She is just like that; she never says anything pleasant," Lin Chen said with a smile toward Teacher, walking over and sitting next to her.

"However, she is right. We plan to enter the secret realm again tomorrow and will not be back for about a week. If you stay here, you can only help me look after the farm. You might as well go back first and settle those Spirit Beasts!"

"Wait a minute! Are not secret realms restricted to Beast Tamers below Four-Star? How can Xiaotong—?" Bai Chunhua suddenly spoke up, stopping halfway as he vaguely guessed something.

"When we entered the secret realm before, we received the blessing of some Spirit Beasts, allowing me to enter regardless of the secret realm's rules!" Bai Sitong did not hide it, since they were all family.

"It seems you two gained quite a lot in the secret realm?" Teacher looked at the two of them, saying with a surprised expression that any treasure involving secret realm access was extraordinary.

"Hehe! Not much, just a tiny bit of gain!" Lin Chen raised his fingers and gestured, indicating it was only a small amount.

"Alright then, since you two are entering the secret realm, I will go back to school first and check things out, then come back next week!" Teacher nodded and said to the pair.

"But it will not do to leave your farm unattended. Let your grandfather stay here. He does not have much to do back home anyway. Let him feed your Spirit Beasts, pull weeds, and plant things here, so he does not sit around idle all day!"

"What? How am I idle? I am very busy when I go back, alright?"

"What? Do you have an objection? What time is it, and you are still sitting here? If you do not go make dinner, do you want to starve us, your daughter, and your good grandson to death? We are three generations under one roof!"

"I..."

"No objection!"

Bai Chunhua silently got up and walked toward the kitchen. His desolate figure made Lin Chen and Bai Sitong burst into laughter.

"Enough! Stop laughing. Since you are entering the secret realm, you must be careful. Do not get careless just because it is a low-star secret realm!" After laughing, Teacher pulled the two of them closer and instructed them.

"Do not worry! It is not our first time going in, and the three strongest Spirit Beasts inside have already been subdued by us!" Bai Sitong said somewhat helplessly.

"You girl, caution is the parent of safety; it is never wrong. The more certain you are of victory, the more careful you must be not to mess up!" Teacher glared at her displeasedly.

"Yes, yes, yes! We promise to be careful and come back completely unharmed!" Bai Sitong raised her hands in surrender. Whatever you say goes, since you are the Mother Superior!

"Grandma is right. We will be careful. I will keep an eye on her at all times!" Lin Chen played the mediator, earning a glare from Bai Sitong.

"You too. Your strength is lacking, so you need to be extra careful." Hearing Lin Chen's words, Teacher did not forget him and continued to instruct, "Also, about the Sun Family matter, you do not need to worry. Principal Song has already gone to handle it."

"However, I estimate that talking about making the Sun Family disappear is probably just talk. Most likely, they will make the Sun Family apologize to you, and then the matter will be closed."

"Since you are studying at Jiang University, Principal Song's reputation must be respected, but you can ask the Sun Family for more compensation. However, you must be more careful when living in Jiangcheng in the future, and pay attention to the security of the farm."

"These Noble Families care most about face. You have essentially fallen out with the Sun Family, and they definitely will not let the matter rest!"

"Mhm! Grandma, do not worry, I will be careful!" Lin Chen nodded, knowing that what Teacher said was true, and they really had to guard against the Sun Family.

"It is fine. I will be working in Jiangcheng for a while, so I will definitely help this brat!" Bai Sitong hugged Teacher to comfort her, then suddenly remembered something and looked toward Lin Chen.

"Speaking of which, did not you want to open a Spirit Beast House? Since you are going to ask the Sun Family for compensation anyway, why not have them give you a few storefronts? Maybe they will even save you the renovation costs!"
