ch 41.2 - The Two Were Imprisoned (1/2)

“That’s good to hear. Now let’s go to bed!”

“Okay!”

The two of them didn’t exchange much before they returned to their own quarters and went to bed.

The next morning, after breakfast and sending the three young ones to cultivate,1 Cheng Biyuan asked about what happened the night before.

Cheng Xiao Xiao briefed him on the event, including the part that they were imprisoned by her inside the bamboo forest.

“Xiao Xiao, what are you planning on doing with them?” Cheng Biyuan wanted to know what was on her mind.

“Dad, what are you thinking?”

She answered his question with another question. She, too, wanted to know his thoughts.

Cheng Biyuan cast her a glance, “We can’t kill them. More will be coming for them shortly. We will need to be able to give them an answer then!”

“I understand. We won’t kill them!” Cheng Xiao Xiao never intended to kill them. After all, they weren’t trying to kill her family the night before, just the mythical animals.

Not punishable by death, but she wasn’t going to let them off lightly either!

“Oh yeah, dad, I want to discuss something with you!” Cheng Xiao Xiao remembered her intention with the bamboo forest.

“Oh yeah? What is it?”

“Dad, since the brothers like to cultivate in the bamboo forest behind the house. I want to improve it. I heard from Yuteng that if we irrigate it with well water, the bamboo can become spiritual. That way it could enhance the progress of cultivation!”

“Xiao Xiao, are you serious?”

Cheng Biyuan was pleasantly surprised. He knew what this meant. Cultivating at a location filled with spiritual air will enhance the speed of progress greatly. This he had heard of in past.

“Dad, I mean it, truly!” replied Cheng Xiao Xiao seriously.

“Great, great, great. This is awesome!” Cheng Biyuan was ecstatic. He rubbed his fist and became very ambitious, “If this works, our place will turn into sacred land. Ha ha ha ha ha…”
