Bai iyue knew what Shen Zhen was worried about, because Shen Zhen’s parents were not good people, she was worried that maybe she might end up hurting her child as well, just as her parents had hurt her and her sisters. She patted Shen Zhen on her shoulder and spoke in a low voice, "You are not your parents, Doctor Shen. You are soone who stood by your sisters’ side all these years; even when you could have moved on and stopped looking for them, you didn’t. A person like you can never be as evil as your parents. After all, you were not raised by them...you were raised by your grandmother. If you cannot trust yourself, you should trust your grandmother. Her teachings will never let you down."
After listening to Bai iyue’s words, Shen Zhen couldn’t help but turn tearful.
When she realised that there was a chance that she was pregnant, Shen Zhen was rather anxious and worried. Because she was really not ready to beco a mother. With the kind of childhood she had, she had often seen her father beating her mother and her. What if she ended up losing her temper with the child as well and hard her in ways like she had been hard by her father?
But after listening to Bai iyue’s words, she cald down a little. Bai iyue was right; she was indeed the daughter of her parents. This was sothing that she could never change. But it was also true that she was not raised by her parents. She was raised by her grandmother, who was kinder than her grandfather and father. She was soone who helped her beco a doctor.
Without her grandmother, she might have never been able to fulfil her dreams. So what was she even worried about?
She then looked down at the oranges in her hands and asked in a surprised voice, "From where did you get these oranges?"
Their bags didn’t have any stock of fresh fruits in them, did they? So how did Bai iyue get so many oranges out of thin air?
"From Bai Feng’s team. They are in the building opposite to the one where we are. They wanted to exchange water with oranges with ."
Bai iyue didn’t lack oranges but she did lack the crystal nuclei that could help her in building the ice bridge, so she thought that the deal was not bad; at least she was able to make a benefit from it. Bai iyue looked at the boxes of instant noodles that were running out and pursed her lips. Maybe she would exchange so pig trotters today. Anyway, she didn’t lack jade in her space pocket.
Thinking about it, she was quite glad that she didn’t take out the jade from her spatial pocket or else who knows what might have happened. Without the jade bracelets and the other pieces of jewellery in her space pocket, there was a very good chance that they might have all starved to death.
With that thought in her head, Bai iyue didn’t even think twice before exchanging pig trotters for a small piece of jade ring and keeping the rest of the points for later. In the barter system, if soone didn’t want to exchange an object with the users, they could always exchange points with the system first and then use the points to exchange with the users. This worked just as fine.
"Where did you get the pig trotters from?" ng Suisui asked upon her return. She dumped a bag of crystal nuclei in the corner and then slumped on the floor before snatching a few crystal nuclei to recover her spiritual energy. After she awakened and started learning the use of her powers, she realised how exhausting it was to use her powers all the ti. At this point, she wanted to lie down and rest.
But Bai iyue had told her that there was no point in taking a nap, as the lack of energy was not due to her being tired; it was due to the lack of spiritual energy within her core. Thus, no matter how tired she was, ng Suisui had no other choice but to lower her head and continue cultivating. But she was still curious as to where Bai iyue got these pig trotters from.
"I found them in my space." Bai iyue didn’t explain any further and went to cook. While cooking, she said to her second brother, "Brother Jixuan, can you take these pig trotters to Lei Qian’s team? I wonder if they have eaten." More than his team, Bai iyue was worried about Lei Qian but she could not bring herself to say those words out loud.
Bai Jixuan humd in response and then changed his form to a giant eagle before taking the lunchbox from Bai iyue and delivering it to Lei Qian’s team but he didn’t see Lei Qian and neither Yang Chunhua nor Wan Guo Fu allowed him to see Lei Qian by telling him that it was inappropriate. That he couldn’t see him. Lei Qian wanted to know what was going on; as far as he knew, the reason Bai iyue sent him wasn’t just because she wanted him to deliver the lunchbox.
She also wanted him to check up on Lei Qian. if these brats wouldn’t let him see Lei Qian, what was he going to tell his sister?
"You—"
"Brother Jixuan, please," Yang Chunhua spoke with a pleading note in her voice. "If you don’t want to worry your sister in her condition, just go and tell her that Boss Lei is alright and he will get better in a few days. Please..."
Bai Jixuan saw the plea in her eyes, and sighed. He raised his hands in the air and said, "Fine. But make sure that you get that man on his feet as soon as possible. Or else if sothing happened to him, you —I and everyone here will be skinned alive. Got it?"
