Chapter 3: I just had a meal, is the mission done?

Ye Xiuxiu learned to call Daddy and Mommy!

This news spread like a spring breeze throughout the Ye Family manor,

It became one of the most significant events at present.

The head of the Ye Family, Ye Qingping, without hesitation decided to immediately hold a family banquet to celebrate this special moment.

After foundation building, cultivators can abstain from grains,

but enjoying delicious food remains a great pleasure.

The spacious, bright banquet hall was bustling, with laughter and chatter never ceasing.

And the focus of everyone's attention,

naturally was the adorable little treasure Ye Xiuxiu, whom Bai Qingsia gently held in her arms.

One could see her blinking her big, lively eyes,

curiously scanning the surrounding crowd,

At this moment, Ye Xiuxiu,

although still young, already showed a clever and quick-witted side.

Under the guidance of Ye Qingping and Bai Qingsia,

at times she called "Grandpa~",

at times she called "Grandma~",

she called out to everyone present,

her cute, childish manner utterly melted everyone's hearts.

But after calling around,

Ye Xiuxiu didn't remember a single one,

there were too many people.

but there was one person she had firmly kept in her heart all along,

namely her second aunt Liu Yuesong, who had once tried to harm her.

At this moment, Liu Yuesong's arms held a child about the same age as Ye Xiuxiu,

the two little ones faced each other, gazing at each other,

their eyes met,

"What are you looking at?"

"What's it to you?"

【Half a year after returning home, you finally met your second sister Ye Ruyan, who inherited the Ye Family estate; you and Ye Ruyan locked eyes, each trying to read something in the other's gaze.】

【Having inherited the Ye Family estate, Ye Ruyan looks down on you, thinking you went out to wander for twenty years and still accomplished nothing, returning home like a stray dog begging for food!】

【Defeat your second sister Ye Ruyan, let your father see that your twenty years away were not in vain; even if your cultivation is far inferior to hers, you can still win, restoring your father's hope in you.】

【Mission reward: Hongmeng Creation Scripture (the first cultivation method born together with the creation of heaven and earth, containing the principles of the universe's operation; upon achieving great mastery, one becomes a world unto oneself.)】

Ye Xiuxiu couldn't help but freeze upon seeing this mission,

she secretly wondered: if this were her sixty-year-old self facing such a situation, how could she possibly win?

Judging by her Qi Refining Level 3 strength,

it's nothing short of a fantasy!

there's absolutely no chance of winning!

After all, her second sister has cultivated for sixty years with all kinds of resources,

at the very least she is at the Golden Core Stage,

reaching the Nascent Soul Stage is not impossible,

but even as she is now,

she still has no idea how to defeat her second sister Ye Ruyan.

Must she really act like a child,

babbling as she rushes over to knock Ye Ruyan to the ground,

then give her a fierce beating?

First, not mentioning whether she could even succeed in knocking her down,

even if she did manage to knock her down,

she would likely still fail to achieve her wish.

Moreover, there are so many people around watching intently,

once she makes any move,

she will surely be stopped by others.

But the Hongmeng Creation Scripture must be obtained,

merely from its name and related description one can tell,

that this scripture is surely an existence of the utmost supremacy.

No matter what, she must find a way to get it into her hands!

Ye Xiuxiu began to rack her brains for a feasible plan.

For example, she could pretend to play with her second sister Ye Ruyan,

then strike her suddenly when she's off guard……all kinds of bizarre ideas surged like waves in her mind.

Meanwhile, her mother and father were discussing something nearby,

but Ye Xiuxiu seemed oblivious, continuing to stare at her beloved second sister Ye Ruyan.

All her thoughts were immersed in how to obtain the Hongmeng Creation Scripture.

Ye Ruyan's gaze locked onto Ye Xiuxiu's eyes.

As if trying to see through that pair of eyes to the secrets deep in the other's heart.

This is completely unlike a child only one and a half years old.

Indeed, Ye Ruyan is a reborn person!

Regarding all that happened in her previous life, her memory remains fresh.

She clearly remembers that in her previous life, when she was sixty-one,

That Ye Xiuxiu, abandoned by her family and wandering outside for twenty full years,

actually, on an utterly ordinary day,

she quietly returned to the Ye Family.

At that time, she herself was proud and arrogant,

she didn't even put this fallen-returning sister in her sight,

and even felt contempt and disdain toward her.

However, what Ye Ruyan never expected was,

Ye Xiuxiu, upon returning home, quickly displayed her scheming and tactics.

She first won her father's favor with flirty words, making him laugh heartily;

Then, in a seemingly fair contest, she used extremely vicious and cunning strategy to defeat herself.

Thus, her father naturally thought,

After twenty years of wandering outside, Ye Xiuxiu had become much more sensible.

After that,

Ye Xiuxiu once again set foot on the path of cultivation.

At first, Ye Ruyan secretly mocked,

thinking Ye Xiuxiu, already past sixty, starting cultivation now is truly too late.

After all, in the cultivation world there has always been this iron law,

the younger the age, the faster the cultivation speed.

But as time passed,

Ye Ruyan surprisingly discovered,

Ye Xiuxiu's cultivation speed not only did not slow in the slightest,

but instead grew ever more rapid with the passage of years.

Ye Xiuxiu, relying on astonishing talent and unremitting effort, step by step climbed to the peak of the cultivation world,

becoming a peerless great demon lord whose name makes people change color and hear the wind and lose courage!

What's more hateful is,

she actually hardened her heart and ruthlessly slaughtered herself together with her birth mother.

Recalling her previous life's tragic fate,

Ye Ruyan couldn't help but grit her teeth in hatred,

In this life, no matter what, she must rewrite her fate,

and absolutely cannot let tragedy repeat.

So she intends, within forty years, while Ye Xiuxiu has not left the Ye Family,

to eliminate that future cultivation world demon lord!

"Time to eat, time to eat!"

Ye Qingping, face full of smiles, loudly called for everyone to hurry and sit down to eat.

Only see Ye Xiuxiu and Ye Ruyan, this lovely pair of sister flowers,

were also obediently placed in baby chairs,

each leaning against their own mother.

Unlike the adults,

what was set before them was not delicious dishes,

but specially prepared supplementary food for infants and toddlers.

Ye Xiuxiu pursed her little mouth,

with an unwilling expression, she used a small spoon to pick up a piece of sticky, paste-like food,

and slowly brought it to her mouth.

This supplementary food is bland and tasteless,

compared to the fragrant dishes on the table, it is literally worlds apart.

At first, she felt this strange food still had a bit of novelty,

but eating the same thing day after day,

has long made her feel bored and even nauseous.

"Mommy~~ Mommy~~"

Ye Xiuxiu shook her round little head,

in a milky voice she acted coquettish toward Bai Qingxia,

at the same time extending her chubby little hand,

straight pointing at the sweet-and-sour carp on the table.

Bai Qingxia instantly understood her daughter's thoughts,

It turned out the little guy was just craving!

"Xiuxiu, be good, you're still too young now, you can't eat that kind of thing."

Bai Qingxia gently coaxed,

"When you grow up a bit later, Mommy will definitely make it for you, okay?"

But Ye Xiuxiu wouldn't listen at all,

She kept babbling nonstop,

Her little hand stubbornly pointed at the sweet and sour carp,

As if she would not stop until she achieved her goal.

When the child is young,

If you don't seize the moment to indulge a little, to be willful once,

then when you grow up you won't have such an opportunity again!

At this moment Ye Ruyan was sitting quietly in the children's chair,

Obediently enjoying her own complementary food.

However, deep inside she looked down on this behavior,

"Hmph, after all, a child is just a child."

Ye Qingping then said with a smiling face,

"If Xiuxiu wants to eat, let her have a taste of this flavor."

Speaking,

He then picked up his chopsticks and lightly dipped some of the sweet and sour carp's broth,

and carefully sent it into little Ye Xiuxiu's mouth.

When the sweet and sour broth touched Ye Xiuxiu's tongue tip,

only to see her originally bright and cute big eyes suddenly sparkle,

as if she had discovered a new continent, she was overjoyed.

Immediately after,

she began to babble happily,

as if using a unique language to express her love for this deliciousness.

Seeing such an adorable scene,

everyone present couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After eating the sweet and sour broth,

Ye Xiuxiu seemed to feel her appetite greatly increased,

like a sweeping wind, she finished the whole bowl of complementary food cleanly.

Then,

contented Ye Xiuxiu leaned on the baby chair and looked at her younger sister Ye Ruyan,

her little head began to ponder how to accomplish the system's Counterattack Mission next.

Ye Qingping continued to gaze affectionately at the adorable Ye Xiuxiu with a smile,

following Ye Xiuxiu's gaze, he looked toward Ye Ruyan opposite,

at this moment, there was still nearly half of the complementary food left in Ye Ruyan's bowl,

she likewise didn't like eating this complementary food.

Ye Qingping chuckled and said,

"Xiuxiu has already finished her meal, Ruyan sweetheart, you need to put in more effort!"

"Your older sister is urging you."

【Mission completed, you painstakingly won the match against your younger sister Ye Ruyan, successfully gaining victory, although the process was somewhat not good, but the outcome ended up good, your father saw your effort and regained hope for you.】

【Mission reward: Hongmeng Creation Scripture】

Mission completed?

Ye Xiuxiu was dazed,

What did I do that the mission just completed?

I just ate a meal, and the mission completed?
