Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

Chapter 1729 - 946: Hunter and Prey

The twins’ home.

Mrs. Chen watched her two daughters frantically getting dressed, and she scoffed, "Can’t you two be a little more rational? You’re just going out for a bit. Is all this necessary?"

Chen Siyu: "Mom, you don’t get it."

Mrs. Chen still scoffed and instructed, "Wherever you go, you must protect yourselves!"

"Mom, don’t worry, Jiang Ning isn’t that kind of person," Chen Siyu assured.

Since the last time Mrs. Chen tried to give her daughters a mature lecture, and ended up being taught a lesson herself in a teacher’s tone, she now almost had a shadow of doubt: "Isn’t it you two I’m worried about?"

Chen Siqing blushed: "Relax, Mom, I have a sense of proportion."

Mrs. Chen took a bite of an apple and barely put her mind at ease.

Chen Siqing: "Mom, if we don’t join you for lunch, you’re just going to grab whatever’s convenient, right?"

Just like in Chen Siyu’s essays, their mom couldn’t cook but could always find delicious restaurants.

"Alright, worry about yourselves," Mrs. Chen decided to find a hot pot place with her husband for lunch.

However, seeing her two daughters so eager, she wasn’t too assured, so she picked up a garbage bag and said, "I’ll throw out the trash. You two can head straight out."

Mrs. Chen took the elevator down, planning to find a spot to hide and spy.

Chen Siyu happily said, "Sis, Mom’s silly. She didn’t even take the opportunity to make us take out the trash when we left!"

Chen Siqing’s eyes twinkled, not quite agreeing.

However, with Jiang Ning arriving soon, they couldn’t keep it under wraps.

Chen Siqing looked at her silly sister: "Mom probably thought it was impolite for us to take out the trash, so she did it for us."

The two sisters finished tidying up, left together, and walked all the way to the road by the community gate.

Mrs. Chen hid in the fruit shop to spy.

"What are you looking at, Sister Chen?" The fruit shop auntie asked.

Mrs. Chen was worried: "My daughters seem to be dating, sigh, I’m worried!"

"At my colleague’s complex, there’s a young girl dating a delinquent, now pregnant..."

Once this topic came up, the fruit shop auntie’s gossip wheel started turning: "Yeah, I have a relative whose 17-year-old daughter dropped out of school to date a 30-year-old man. When the family asked what’s good about him, she said he took her to Wanda to catch dolls. Oh my god!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen felt even more urgent, staring intently at her daughters by the road, muttering, "I have to see who they’re dating today... If I’m not satisfied!"

Jiang Ning approached the twin sisters slowly on his electric bike and parked.

Suddenly, something unusual appeared within his Divine Sense.

Jiang Ning felt a stir in his heart, no longer concealing it. Charm on!

His whole demeanor changed suddenly. As he got off the titanium-gray electric bike, his figure was tall and upright.

"If I’m not satisfied..." Mrs. Chen just thought her daughter’s male classmate was really tall. Upon another look, she caught sight of the male classmate’s brows that flew into his temples, especially those ink-black eyes, seemingly carrying ancient charm beyond words.

"Ah, so handsome!"

"How can he be that handsome?"

"My daughter actually found such a handsome boyfriend?"

The fruit shop auntie thought that Sister Chen’s worried look instantly disappeared, replaced by radiance, muttering words like "so handsome" repeatedly.

Inside, the fruit shop auntie felt a chill: ’Oh no, Siyu’s dad, your wife seems to be in love...’

...

The twin sisters were dumbstruck, almost drooling.

Jiang Ning turned around, concealing his appearance again, and said, "Let’s go, get on."

Chen Siyu quickly nodded: "Sister, you sit at the back, I’ll be in front."

Saying that, she tried to squeeze into the space under Jiang Ning’s legs.

Jiang Ning: "You can sit in the back."

"Oh, I forgot."

So Chen Siyu repositioned herself behind Jiang Ning.

Chen Siyu nudged her sister, signaling her amazement: ’Jiang Ning was so handsome just now!’

Chen Siqing pinched her sister hard, fully agreeing: ’Mm-hmm!’

The two exchanged secret messages behind Jiang Ning’s back.

Focusing on riding, Jiang Ning rode for a while before Chen Siyu said, "Thanks for picking us up, Jiang Ning."

"No need to thank me. When you get to my place, there’s work to be done."

Big sister Chen Siqing said, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do the work."

Little sister: "Mm-hmm!"

Jiang Ning: "That’s good. Tongtong would never be this obedient."

Chen Siyu started quoting online wisdom, criticizing Tongtong: "Dumb girls are obedient, so they’re good. Smart girls are clever, so they’re also good. The worst are in between, disobedient and not smart."

At first glance, it seemed logical, so Jiang Ning asked, "So which one are you?"

Chen Siyu: "Both smart and obedient."

Big sister Chen Siqing was speechless.

It’s quite a distance from the twins’ house to the river dam. It’s just past 9 o’clock, still early to pick up the cake, so Jiang Ning rode at his regular pace.

The twins had been with Jiang Ning several times before and knew his capabilities.

A taxi was parked diagonally on the roadside, and the driver was scolding a male college student on an electric bike, cursing harshly.

Jiang Ning slowed down slightly to observe the scene, while Chen Siyu on the bike indignantly stood up: "It’s clearly you who turned and hit someone. How dare you scold them!"

Chen Siyu: "Call the cops to get him!"

Her words were assertive, like a shout of the new era, and instantly woke up the male college student.

The male college student countered, "Exactly, it was you who broke the traffic rules. Why are you scolding me!"

The driver was furious, glaring at Jiang Ning on the electric bike, wanting to hit them with his car!

Jiang Ning slightly accelerated, leaving that section of the road.

"How did you know it was the taxi driver’s fault?" Jiang Ning asked.

Chen Siyu proudly replied, "My sister and I completed all the questions for driving exam theory tests!"

Jiang Ning: "Hmm?"

Chen Siqing explained, "Because Mom failed the test before, Si Yu did it to provoke her."

Jiang Ning: ’So filial.’

He didn’t know whether to call her silly or smart for the time being.

Playing the role of a reality judge once, Chen Siyu was in a particularly good mood. With the powerful Jiang Ning around, things were different. No wonder Mom always said a capable husband makes one feel younger. She might even turn into a righteous elementary school student now.

The rest of the way was smooth, arriving at the River Dam Bungalow.

The twins got off the bike calling for Tongtong, while Aunt Zhang waved from Uncle Tang’s door: "Tongtong is over here!"

Jiang Ning walked over and found Tongtong studying the camera.

"Jiang Ning, and Si Yu Siqing, you’re back?" Tongtong raised her little face, beaming with joy.

She most welcomed the foolish Si Yu to visit, as she was easy to fool and loved saying thank you.

"Wait for me to finish setting up the camera, then we’ll do something big together!" Tongtong sat on a small stool adjusting the camera.

To save time, Jiang Ning tugged an electric wire for Uncle Tang, connected it to a power strip, and aimed the camera at his courtyard.

Uncle Tang was going to demonstrate Shennong’s prowess by conducting a planting experiment in the courtyard.

After installing the camera, Uncle Tang expressed his gratitude with vegetables.

Jiang Ning went back inside to find his slingshot, while Xue Yuantong found a worn-out bamboo basket, a short wooden stick, and a ball of yarn, preparing to make a simple bird-catching trap.

With all the tools ready, the twins carried them while Tongtong led the way with empty hands.

Jiang Ning grabbed a handful of corn kernels, which could be used both as bait for the bird trap and as ammunition.

He used Divine Sense to scan and found the rural tourism business buzzing with many guests. Lin Zida was acting as an employee, introducing the strawberry garden to visitors, inheriting Dongdong’s intent.

The sun was shining brightly today, and Xue Yuantong stepped towards the light, her heart brimming with light. She teased, "Si Yu, use one sentence to prove you’re a top hunter!"

Chen Siyu: "I am a top hunter."
