When 'God' Decides To Start Over

Chapter 695 - 283 The Greatest Aristocratic Family

"Your surname is Li, how come your sister’s surname is Han?" Chu Jun seemed to have an epiphany and said with sudden realization, "I get it, is it that one of you takes your father’s surname and the other takes your mother’s?"

"I was adopted by my sister." Li Xiu patted Chu Jun’s shoulder and walked into the house.

Chu Jun was somewhat dumbfounded when he heard this. He thought that even if Han Ling’Er was a bit older than Li Xiu, the difference wouldn’t be much. He didn’t expect that Li Xiu was adopted by Han Ling’Er.

"Do women really age slower than men?" Chu Jun touched his face and couldn’t help but sigh, "To think such unparalleled beauty, in just a few years, will slowly age, it’s truly a great loss for the mortal world."

After a few people entered the house, they couldn’t help but be a bit stunned. The interior was clean and tidy, very well-organized.

But this was a bit too clean; there was nothing on the coffee table except for a plate of fruit.

Moreover, on that plate, there were only seven or eight things the size of chestnuts, black like graphite, and none of them knew what kind of fruit it was. None of the people recognized it.

"Just picked a little while ago, everyone try some." Han Ling’Er said.

With such little quantity, if they really ate it, it wouldn’t even be enough for one person. Plus, no one had seen this fruit before and didn’t know how to eat it.

However, looking at Li Xiu’s sake, none of them wanted to make Han Ling’Er feel that they were being polite, so each person took one.

"Sis, do you have to peel this fruit?" Chu Jun looked at the fruit in his hand, unsure how to bite into it. It felt quite hard, almost like jade, making him very suspicious if it was a stone.

Li Qingyi and the others also held the fruits in their hands, not daring to bite them. It was so hard that if they tried to eat it, they feared their teeth might break.

"You can eat it directly." Han Ling’Er said, looking expectantly at the few of them.

Han Ling’Er’s expression seemed as if she was waiting for them to taste it and praise how delicious the fruits she picked were.

"Sis... are you sure it doesn’t need peeling..." Chu Jun cautiously asked again.

"No need." Han Ling’Er answered confidently.

"Is it possible that this fruit only looks hard, but isn’t actually hard when eaten, just like hard candy, it feels hard, but it breaks with one bite?" Chu Jun thought to himself and put the fruit in his mouth, like he was eating candy, sucking on it first.

No taste, it felt like a smooth stone in his mouth, not a hint of sweetness.

"Could it be that this fruit has a filling?" Seeing Han Ling’Er looking at him expectantly, Chu Jun was embarrassed to spit it out and, with determination, bit down hard, treating it like eating hard candy.

Click!

A soft sound was heard, and Chu Jun’s face instantly turned to stone, cold sweat pouring out.

That soft sound wasn’t the fruit breaking, but his tooth cracking.

Sha Chu and the others looked at Chu Jun sympathetically, understanding perfectly well what had happened.

Sha Chu, being a true tough guy, didn’t even grunt, just tilted his neck back and forced himself to swallow the fruit whole, then squeezed out a smile that looked worse than crying, gave Han Ling’Er a thumbs up and said, "Sis, this fruit is really sweet."

Everyone silently praised Chu Jun for being tough; he managed to endure it.

Chu Qi said nothing, directly putting the fruit in his mouth, not even biting, just swallowed it whole.

Sha Chu and the others followed suit, directly swallowing the fruits whole.

"Sister’s fruits are really different, so delicious." Seeing everyone had swallowed the fruits, Chu Jun praised once more.

"Since you love it so much, these last two are for you." Han Ling’Er pushed the plate towards Chu Jun, looking at him with full anticipation.

Chu Jun’s smile instantly became a bit stiff, while Sha Chu and the others secretly laughed in their hearts.

But looking at Han Ling’Er’s expression, Chu Jun felt that refusing would be a crime.

"One is swallowed, three are also swallowed, no big deal." Chu Jun picked up the last two fruits on the plate, "Since sis is so kind to me, I won’t be polite."

Saying this, Chu Jun stuffed the two fruits into his mouth, swallowing them down hard, nearly choking.

"There’s water in the pot, help yourselves if you need to drink some. I have something to discuss privately with my sister." Li Xiu pulled Han Ling’Er outside.

"You guys sit here for a while, I’ll cook for you myself tonight." Han Ling’Er said enthusiastically before Li Xiu dragged her away.

Once they were outside the old house and alone, Li Xiu looked at Han Ling’Er and asked, "Sis, what’s going on with you?"

He had lived with Han Ling’Er for ten years, and he never knew that his sister was so strong, even a Divine Position level Elro would act like a mouse in front of a cat upon seeing her.

But while living with Han Ling’Er, he never noticed she was such a powerful person; her every action didn’t seem like someone skilled in combat. She didn’t have those habits that come with long-term martial arts training. Generally, people in cultivation have some special habits, like walking posture, etc., which are distinct from ordinary people.

But there was nothing like that about Han Ling’Er; she seemed just like an ordinary girl.

"I found a path, but I’m not sure if it can lead home, so I need to try it first. If it can, I’ll come back and take you with me. I don’t know how long this will take, so before leaving, I wanted to come back and see you." Han Ling’Er sighed.
