A Wonderful Life~

In the classroom early in the morning, countless little ones were frolicking and playing.

Only Chen Zhou lay peacefully on his desk, covered by a soft pillow, already fast asleep.

Na'er, sitting beside him, was afraid that the others would disturb her brother's slumber, but seeing how soundly Chen Zhou was sleeping, she kept quiet.

In his dream, Chen Zhou was hammering away at a forging table, simulating various metals he had imagined or encountered.

As a member of the Qiangu Clan, although he hadn't touched many of these metals, seeing them and studying their properties was not a difficult task for him.

From last night until he woke up in the car this morning, he had also been cramming knowledge about metals.

Watching these simulated metals, Chen Zhou hammered away continuously, beginning to learn the forging techniques within.

After class started and until the morning lessons were nearly over, no one had called Chen Zhou to wake up.

After all, kindergarten lessons were truly useless, and the courses at this elementary academy could be said to be completely effortless.

The homeroom teacher, Teacher Yue, said nothing, letting Chen Zhou sleep there.

When Chen Zhou woke up, the classroom lights were on, but the students were long gone.

Looking at the classroom where the chairs had already been flipped onto the desks, Chen Zhou knew that school was over.

He tilted his head slightly and saw Na'er sitting there, writing something.

"Brother, you're awake. That blond boy said he wanted to ask you to go eat."

Na'er said, pointing toward the door. Hearing Na'er's words, Chen Zhou was stunned for a moment. He turned his head to see Xie Xie sitting there, who stood up immediately upon seeing Chen Zhou wake up.

"Brother Chen, can you come to my house today?"

"The life force you provided has been exhausted, but my mother's life force seems to be stronger than before."

"The speed at which my mother's life force was being consumed was very fast, but the injuries on her body have also healed a lot."

Xie Xie said, curling his fingers as he spoke.

The Xie Family had already delivered the six thousand-year-old spirit herbs required for payment last weekend.

Chen Zhou had even already absorbed one of them.

The stalk of grass Chen Mo had found for him was already used up, so he was now absorbing the Dragon Blood Fruit while simultaneously working through the supplies provided by the Xie Family.

Looking at the big benefactor who provided him with cultivation resources, Chen Zhou nodded casually without caring, then began to pack his schoolbag.

Of course, there wasn't much to pack, just stuffing his precious soft pillow into his bag.

Seeing Chen Zhou holding Na'er's hand as the two followed behind him, Xie Xie let out a long sigh of relief.

His mother's complexion had clearly improved significantly; she hadn't been able to eat a meal before, but now she could devour a whole bowl of rice, which was a good thing for Xie Xie.

After all, he was very happy to see his mother recovering.

However, Chen Zhou didn't actually care that much about these things.

First, he greeted his family's driver, and then Chen Zhou got into the car with Xie Xie.

The Old Butler was standing outside waiting again, his face wearing that same kind, amiable smile, but Chen Zhou couldn't even be bothered to glance at him.

Arriving at the Xie residence again, Chen Zhou no longer felt shocked by the surrounding scenery.

After transferring the Water of Life to Xie Xie's mother, the complexion on her face improved a lot, and even the life force in her body had recovered.

Watching his mother's life force begin to recover, a smile appeared on Xie Xie's face as well.

"Brother Chen, why don't you stay and eat with us today? You can tell me whatever you want to eat, and I'll have our chef make it."

"Our family's chef is definitely the top-tier chef in East Sea City; he can make whatever you want to eat."

Xie Xie's tone carried a hint of earnestness.

Chen Zhou was still a bit hesitant; he didn't really want to get too deeply involved with the Xie Family.

However, Xie Xie's mother also looked at Chen Zhou and said gently:

"You are my savior, and therefore the savior of our Xie Family. Please, little one, stay and have a meal here."

"If there is anything you want to eat, just tell your auntie, and I will have the chef make it for you."

Xie Xie's mother's tone was very gentle. Looking at the woman's graceful face, Chen Zhou was silent for a moment before nodding.

After all, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to, because upon hearing that she could eat anything, Na'er's feet seemed to have become filled with lead.

Chen Zhou had only taken two steps forward and almost couldn't pull Na'er along.

Watching the young girl looking back every few steps, Chen Zhou felt somewhat helpless.

"Then we shall impose on you, Auntie. The two of us will eat here today."

Chen Zhou said this without being overly polite; after all, he was indeed the Xie Family's benefactor.

Coupled with Na'er's super appetite, he ordered nearly 15 dishes in one go.

Xie Xie was a bit confused at first, but thinking of how Chen Zhou had saved his mother, he didn't say anything.

Xie Xie's mother was even less likely to bring up such a topic. It wasn't until they were at the dining table that they understood why Chen Zhou had ordered so much food.

Because at this moment, bowl after bowl of exquisite dishes were placed around the little girl, but she didn't even look at them, instead pulling a huge stainless steel basin out of her schoolbag.

Then, under the incredulous gazes of the two, Na'er began to devour the food like a whirlwind.

Watching the little girl feast with such gusto, even Xie Mother was left somewhat stunned.

Yet, looking at the little girl's adorable face, she still couldn't help but pick out food for Na'er from time to time.

The atmosphere of the meal was quite pleasant, as the personalities of everyone present were fairly agreeable.

After the meal concluded, Chen Zhou and Na'er did not linger long before taking a Xie Family car back to the Spirit Pagoda.

The two took a nap at noon, and in the afternoon, Chen Zhou took Na'er for a casual stroll nearby.

Chen Zhou was very satisfied with his current life, as his talent was sufficiently high, and he could cultivate within the Dream World.

Although he did not cultivate diligently for the majority of his time, the time spent in the Dream World made up for this perfectly.

A normal person needed at least eight hours of sleep, but for Chen Zhou, those eight hours were eight hours of steady cultivation or time to practice other skills.

Of course, if one included the nap in the morning, the time available was even greater.

With such an accumulation of time, Chen Zhou's rate of improvement would be very fast.

The two wandered around the vicinity of the Spirit Pagoda for a while that afternoon.

After finishing dinner in the evening, the two entered the Spirit Ascension Platform to begin their cultivation.

Na'er was not particularly interested in these things, but because Chen Zhou had come along, she followed suit.

Chen Zhou hunted forty or fifty soul beasts throughout the night; beyond honing his techniques, his primary goal was to begin raising the age of his soul rings as much as possible.

Although reaching ten thousand years within a short period was difficult, raising them above five thousand years to a deep purple color should not be too great a challenge for Chen Zhou.

After the night's cultivation ended, Chen Zhou went to sleep contentedly. Neuvillette did not appear at first, so Chen Zhou began to practice his forging skills.

He did not know how much time had passed, but just as Chen Zhou felt the time was drawing to a close, Neuvillette's figure finally appeared within the Dream World.

Looking at the calm and composed Neuvillette, a trace of joy appeared on Chen Zhou's face, but the moment he saw what Neuvillette had brought back, he could no longer smile.
