ch 37.1 - The Power of Jade Vine (2/2)

“Xiao Xiao, are you serious?” asked Cheng Biyuan in disbelief as he walked through the door. He figured his daughter had accumulated quite a bit of mythical animals and produces, but the quantity stills surprised him.

Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded lightly at her father’s question. Truthfully, she was being conservative about the numbers, there might be another 10,000 or so more.

“Great! That’s excellent!” smiled Cheng Biyuan happily.

Mrs. Cheng had the exact same smile, “Ye, how come you are back already? I thought you were going to teach Zheng Yuan and Zheng Bin martial art?”

“I did, they are practicing in the bamboo forest!” His smile disappeared slowly and was replaced with a small frown as though he had ran into some problems.

Naturally, Cheng Xiao Xiao, who was standing next to him, noticed the change and asked, “Dad, what happened?”

“Nothing, both of your brothers are very talented, but I am afraid our family’s lack of resources will hold them back, and I….” Cheng Biyuan frowned and continued, “I have a feeling that we will run into some troubles in a few days. Even though I am a martial master, but I am still a junior martial master, if only I could break through to mid-level….”

“Dad, don’t you worry. We still have Yuteng. There’s nothing to worry about!” Cheng Xiao Xiao was confident. She didn’t believe they wouldn’t even be able to overcome the minor setbacks when they were just starting out.

Nodding lightly, Cheng Biyuan smiled again, “Maybe I am just overthinking this!”

“Not necessarily!” smiled Cheng Xiao Xiao, “By the way, dad, we need some supplies around the house. Maybe you can make a trip to the marketplace tomorrow to replenish them? And, I think it’s best we get a horse-drawn wagon as well!”

“Make sense. We can’t keep borrowing Patriarch Liu’s ox-drawn wagon every time we head to the marketplace!” Mrs. Cheng agreed as well.

Cheng Biyuan had an idea what they need around the house, and he hasn’t been to the marketplace for a while now. He nodded, “Okay, I will go and get them tomorrow!”

“Dad, mom, I have anothersuggestion!” Cheng Xiao Xiao thought it over and decided to bring it up.
