Two Realms: From Glass Beads to Divine Skills, Invincible

Chapter 15: Junior Sister Miao Miao?

The courtyard arranged by Qingyun Temple is located on the mountainside behind the mountain.

The villa has two floors, with the master bedroom upstairs and a study next to it.

The first floor connects the front and back yards and contains a latrine, storage room, kitchen, etc.

It's worth mentioning that next to the villa, there are two single-story wooden cabins, built specifically for the servants.

In this regard.

Bai Chen was very satisfied.

It was worth spending those five thousand taels of silver; they even considered such details.

...

By the time Bai Chen and Han Shuisheng had moved all their belongings over, it was already close to evening.

"Master Bai, I'll go get you your dinner!" Han Shuisheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Bai Chen.

"Um."

Bai Chen nodded slightly.

Practicing martial arts consumes a lot of energy. Although he ate two large bowls at noon, he still feels extremely hungry.

After Han Shuisheng went to the Qingyun Temple's canteen to pick up his meal.

Xuanqing was not idle either. He came to the courtyard and began to practice the static stance of the "Health Preservation Stance Exercise".

According to Xuanqing Daoist, after this skin-refining process, one must soak in medicinal baths for at least several days to fully recover.

However, this recovery time will become faster as his cultivation progresses.

With further practice and the aid of medicinal baths, a full recovery can be achieved in just a few hours.

...

Bai Chen had just gotten into the static stance and hadn't even completed a full cycle of breathing when he heard footsteps approaching.

"Back so soon... Huh?"

He thought it was Han Shuisheng, but when he turned around, he found that the person who came was a very beautiful young woman.

The young woman was carrying a food box. Upon seeing Bai Chen, she greeted him with a smile:

"Greetings, sir. You must be the young hero Bai Chen?"

"Who are you...."

Bai Chen hesitated slightly, wondering who the other party was.

Then he remembered that Xuanqing Daoist had mentioned during the day that Senior Sister Miaomiao was coming to teach him to read.

Could this beautiful woman before me be Senior Sister Miao Miao?

With this thought in mind,

Bai Chen quickly cupped his hands in greeting, "I am Bai Chen, greetings to Senior Sister Miao Miao!"

"Giggle~"

The beautiful woman smiled, her body trembling slightly, and her beautiful breasts swayed accordingly.

"I'm not your senior sister Miaomiao, I'm Miaomiao's aunt. She asked me to bring you some snacks."

As she spoke, she handed over the food box in her hand, and then added, "By the way, let me pass on a message: she said she'll come over tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM) to teach you to read."

"I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else." Bai Chen smiled awkwardly, then took the food box from the other person and replied politely:

"Please pass on my message: thank you for your concern, Senior Sister Miaomiao."

"Um."

The beautiful woman nodded slightly, her eyes scanning Bai Chen up and down, and she clicked her tongue in amazement.

"Tsk tsk, what a waste of such a handsome young man!"

After saying that, she turned and left.

Bai Chen was somewhat confused.

Only after the beautiful woman had walked away did he open the food box in his hand.

Inside was a plate of exquisite sticky rice cakes, shaped in a very unique way, resembling small animals such as puppies and foxes.

"Tsk, this Senior Sister Miaomiao is quite skillful."

Bai Chen smiled slightly. He was a little hungry, so he picked up a piece of pastry and ate it.

The moment the pastry entered my mouth, an overly sweet and cloying feeling washed over me.

"Pah!"

Bai Chen couldn't hold it in and vomited.

This sweetness is way too intense; it's even sweeter than desserts from American dessert shops.

After a slight hesitation…

Bai Chen picked up the second puppy-shaped pastry and tentatively put it in his mouth.

Hmm, it's not too sweet this time.

But TM has no taste anymore, it's like putting a candle in your mouth and all that's left is the taste of compressed flour.

"Forget it, let's wait for Han Shuisheng to come back."

Bai Chen gave up on continuing to taste the food and placed the food box on a stone chair to the side.

It seems that although Senior Sister Miao Miao is skillful and made the pastries look quite beautiful, her cooking skills are very poor, and the taste is simply awful.

It's like you see a beautiful woman from behind, excitedly run up to chat her up, only to turn around and find she's like a woman picking her nose.

......

The next day.

I just had breakfast.

The legendary "Senior Sister Miao Miao" has arrived.

However, the result was not what Bai Chen had imagined; she turned out to be an absolutely stunning beauty.

She's a pretty girl.

She has a delicate, oval face, is about 1.4 meters tall, and her hair falls freely.

"Ahem, you must be Junior Brother Bai Chen!"

"Uh...Senior Sister Miaomiao?"

Looking at the little sister in front of him, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, Bai Chen managed to call out the words "Senior Sister Miaomiao" with difficulty.

He's over thirty years old, yet he calls a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl "senior sister."

"How did the pastries I asked Aunt Mei to bring you yesterday taste?" Xia Miaomiao asked, tilting her head.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Miaomiao. The taste... um... it's alright."

Bai Chen recalled the taste of yesterday's pastries and immediately responded with a tactful remark.

In his view, any normal adult could understand the meaning behind the words.

Unfortunately, he forgot that the little girl in front of him was not an adult, but a twelve-year-old girl.

"Wow, really?"

Xia Miaomiao's eyes lit up with surprise, and she said hurriedly, "Aunt Mei said my cooking was terrible, and that you definitely wouldn't like it, Junior Brother!"

"Hmph, I knew you'd like pastries, junior brother."

Upon hearing this...

Xuan Qing gave an awkward smile and didn't reply, instead changing the subject, "Well... Senior Sister Miao Miao, how about we start learning to read?"

"Okay, let's start learning to read then." Xia Miaomiao smiled, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons.

"Today we will learn about Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, Yellow..."

"Heaven and Earth, black and yellow?"

Bai Chen studied very diligently, as it concerned his future understanding of the world and even his life.

.....

The following days.

Life is rhythmic and regular.

Two hours of recognizing and writing characters, two hours of meditation, followed by several medicinal baths.

Bai Chen's originally red skin gradually returned to its original state after standing in meditation and soaking in a medicinal bath.

That day.

He is taking a medicinal bath.

Suddenly, a mechanical notification sounded in his mind.

[Gate 1's cooldown period is over!]

"Can we travel back in time?"

Bai Chen's spirits lifted.

Just as he was thinking about how he would travel back to the real world of the United States after his medicinal bath,

But then he remembered something else.

So what am I supposed to do back in America?

The time scales of the two worlds are not the same. Based on previous attempts, the following conclusions can be drawn:

When he was on the Martial Continent, time in the real world almost stood still.

While he is in the real world, the flow of time on the Martial Continent will almost stop.

In other words, his journey back to the real world is meaningless except for speeding up time in the real world.

For Bai Chen now, the most important thing is to cultivate martial arts, break through to the Innate Martial Artist level as soon as possible, and completely resolve the crisis in his lungs.

"While I'm on the Martial Continent, the flow of time in the real world will almost stop, so there's no need to worry about my son for now..."

Bai Chen thought to himself.

Therefore, he decided to retain his chance to travel through time and stay on the Martial Continent to practice martial arts.
