Nalan Su and his wife, caught in their excitement, saw the look on young Chenfeng's face and assumed he was worried that his status would be threatened by a younger sibling. Therefore, they repeatedly assured him that regardless of whether it was a brother or a sister, they would never neglect their precious son.
Li Chenfeng could only roll his eyes at such things and ignore them.
He was currently wallowing in sorrow over his own miserable future.
However, as time slowly passed, Li Chenfeng gradually came to terms with it; if it is a blessing it is not a disaster, and if it is a disaster it cannot be avoided.
Although he did not know if this world would still follow the plot of the novel, as long as he worked hard to improve his strength until he could protect his family and his parents, would that not be enough?
Having cleared his mind, Li Chenfeng became cheerful once more, and even felt a faint sense of anticipation for his upcoming sister.
It seemed that in the original work, his sister Nalan Yanran was described as an incredible beauty. Thinking that he was about to have a beautiful younger sister made Li Chenfeng, who had been an only child for decades in his previous life, feel a bit impatient!
But relatively speaking, from this day on, Li Chenfeng began his path of bitter training.
As a child of only five, he had not yet developed a Qi Sense in his body, so he currently focused on training his physique, striving to develop that sense as early as possible so he could truly begin his path of cultivation!
Although his parents believed he was too young and wanted to wait until he was six to let him start, five years old was not young at all to Li Chenfeng. One had to know that in Battle Through the Heavens, it was said that the genius Xiao Yan had exceptional talent: he began practicing Qi at four, possessed Nine-Section Dou Qi by ten, and successfully condensed a Dou Qi Vortex at eleven, leaping to become the youngest Dou Zhe in his family in a century.
Looking at it this way, he was already a bit late.
However, he heard that at this time, Xiao Yan had just arrived in his mother's womb and, like his own sister, had not yet been born, so Li Chenfeng still had a few years to catch up.
Otherwise, by the time the protagonist broke out of his cocoon to become a butterfly, he would only be able to play the role of an ordinary passerby!
"Sigh, why don't I have a golden finger!"
During these five years, Li Chenfeng had constantly tried to find the golden finger he should have brought with him after transmigrating; if he had one, he might even be able to compete with the protagonist.
But after five years, Li Chenfeng discovered that he was no different from any other child in this world. The so-called golden fingers, cheats, or systems simply did not exist!
"Damn it, who said transmigrators must have a golden finger? I really want an old grandfather figure too!"
Yet, he had searched through every jade pendant, ring, and bracelet his parents had given him, and they were all just ordinary gold and silver trinkets. There were no old grandfathers or grandmothers to be found!
"It seems there are rules for transmigrators too; a world can only grant one person a golden finger, and I'm just unlucky enough not to have been chosen by the God of Transmigration!"
Li Chenfeng comforted himself with this thought, then had no choice but to begin his path of self-torture.
Thinking and thinking, the two of them arrived at the Side Hall without realizing it.
Li Chenfeng stepped onto the stairs, with Qing'er following closely behind, fearing that her young master might trip.
After walking into the Side Hall, he saw a young, heavily pregnant woman sitting at the dining table, and servants had already begun to set out dishes.
Looking at Li Chenfeng as he walked in, the Young Mistress of the Nalan Clan, who was Li Chenfeng's mother, Madam Nalan, teased with a smile: "You little monkey, have you been training all morning again? You haven't even changed your clothes; aren't you afraid of getting sick?"
Li Chenfeng grinned and said: "Who told you your son was hungry? Heaven and earth are vast, but eating is the most important thing! You can't let your son's little body starve."
Madam Nalan was immediately amused by her son's witty remark and stopped worrying about his training.
"Alright, alright. Since my precious son is hungry, let's start eating quickly!"
Li Chenfeng looked at the empty seats and asked curiously: "Where are Grandpa and Dad? Are they missing again today?"
Madam Nalan said with a helpless expression: "Who knows where they went? Your father went out early this morning. The old man seems to have gone out early too, so there are only the three of us left at home. Just eat your fill!"
"Three?" Li Chenfeng glanced at his mother's large belly.
"Alright, saying three is not wrong either!"
"What's wrong? In another month, your brother or sister will be born, and when that time comes, you, as the older brother, must protect them well."
Madam Nalan stroked her belly with a face full of maternal love and said to Li Chenfeng, who had already begun to wolf down his food: "If they cause trouble in the future, you, as the older brother, must protect them well and not let them be bullied, you know?"
Li Chenfeng struggled to swallow the beast meat in his mouth and chuckled at his mother.
He thought to himself, I'm afraid this older brother won't be able to cover for them when the time comes!
However, Madam Nalan was already immune to her son's various expressions, so she ignored his half-dead look and began her breakfast with the help of a maid.
By this time, Li Chenfeng had already polished off a large piece of beast meat, and Qing'er was using a silk handkerchief to wipe the soup from the corner of his mouth.
Having lived the life of a young master for five years, Li Chenfeng had long since become accustomed to this, so he felt no discomfort at all.
Perhaps this was what they often called "it is easy to go from frugality to luxury."
For breakfast, Li Chenfeng ate a pound and a half of beast meat, which seemed quite incredible for a five-year-old child.
But this was a world of cultivation, and the appetite of a Dou Zhe was naturally incomparable to that of an ordinary person, even if Li Chenfeng did not even have Dou Qi yet.
Moreover, this beast meat was not ordinary; it was all delicious, low-level Magical Beast meat.
This kind of meat was not only delicious but also very beneficial to the human body. Long-term consumption would definitely strengthen one's physique and increase one's Dou Qi.
As one of the three great clans of the Jia Ma Empire, the Nalan Clan naturally did not lack such food.
In fact, ever since Li Chenfeng was able to eat meat, he had grown up eating this kind of Magical Beast meat.
After finishing his meal, Li Chenfeng patted his bulging belly, let out a burp, and left the Side Hall amidst his mother's instructions not to train too hard, before returning to his small courtyard.
His training plan had long been mapped out, and he did not have much time to rest throughout the day.
Especially after just eating Magical Beast meat, training at this time could accelerate his body's absorption of the energy within the meat, yielding the best results!
