Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 50
"Yeah, actually, where we come from is very developed. We even have hybrid rice, which can yield about eighteen hundred pounds per acre."
Feng Xi hadn’t expected such a high yield.
Feng Xuxu started to talk about some things from the modern world again, like breeding techniques, skyscrapers, and moving from cars to trains and then to planes. Feng Xi’s eyes widened in amazement. Such distant places could be reached in just a few hours, he looked at Feng Xuxu in disbelief.
"Big brother!" Feng Xuxu called out uncertainly.
"Hey, little sister, you’ll always be my real sister, just go ahead and do what you need to, I’ve got your back!"
"Thank you, brother, you’re the best." Leaning on her brother’s shoulder, looking at the stars scattered in the sky, she finally let go of the anxieties and panic that had gripped her ever since she arrived in this different world, and especially with today’s revelation of her identity and coming clean with her brother.
"Awooo..." Xiaobai approached Feng Xuxu, not as silly and cute as usual but instead vigilantly watching their surroundings.
Feng Xuxu sensed something was off with Xiaobai and started to become alert, too. The conversation she had with her brother, if overheard, could cause trouble. Although she could handle it, it would be inconvenient, and she preferred that no third party knew about it.
So she communicated with Xiaobai using her thoughts, "What’s happening?"
"Sister Feng, when you asked Xiaobai to be mindful of the surroundings, Xiaobai extended its spiritual awareness and detected someone hiding in the dark. When Xiaobai chased them, they ran away," said Xiaobai, regretting its carelessness.
"Oh, do you know who that person is?"
"I don’t know, but they’re definitely not a bad person, otherwise, they wouldn’t have just hidden in the dark, they would have taken the opportunity to strike when we were off-guard."
"Sister, so this is the cat-like yet tiger-like creature you picked up on Nameless Mountain, quite cute."
"Heehee, I call it Xiaobai." Feng Xuxu stroked Xiaobai’s white fur.
"Hahaha, quite fitting," Feng Xi looked at Xiaobai and nodded in agreement with the name his sister had chosen.
"Look, sister, that’s the temporary house that’s been set up," the brother pointed to a few houses not far away.
"Yes! We finally have our own house. We were supposed to move today, but it’s too late, we’ll move first thing tomorrow morning," Feng Xuxu followed her brother’s gesture, looking at the few lonely houses standing there, with not even a tree in the surrounding emptiness.
"Yeah, we don’t have much stuff, probably can move everything in one go."
"Brother, do you regret leaving the clan?" She looked at the moon in the sky and asked inexplicably.
"Never regret," Feng Xi replied firmly.
"Brother, you’re the best," Feng Xuxu took her eyes off the moon to look at her brother, smiling contentedly.
"Silly girl, let’s head back, it’s getting late," the brother reached out for his sister, who was sitting on the grassy slope, and they walked back hand in hand.
Xiao Residence
"What did you say?" Sitting in the Taishi Chair, Xiao Chen thought he was hallucinating and asked uncertainly.
"An animal that looks like a cat but also like a tiger beside Feng Xuxu spotted me. It chased me a few miles away. In the end, I had to return here against my will," the Hidden Guard kneeling on the ground was also confused. It was embarrassing to be detected and chased by such a strange creature.
Xiao Chen tapped rhythmically on the desk, and after a long moment, he spoke lazily, "Go back, you don’t need to keep an eye on them anymore."
"Yes, I shall take my leave." With a whoosh, he vanished from the room instantly.
Interesting, Feng Xuxu, who exactly are you? What more surprising discoveries are there to be found?
