Zhao Xueqing: "..."
Lei Xiaohui: "..."
’Is he humble-bragging or just humble-bragging?’ they thought. ’His "comforting" is making it worse.’
Li Xiang comforted them, saying, "Don’t worry, don’t worry. You two will definitely make it." He patted Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui on the shoulder, encouraging them to keep trying.
Then, with a flip of his hand, he produced two Spirit Fruits and pressed them into their hands, telling them not to be sad but to cheer up and strive to catch up.
Of course, he didn’t forget Yao Yao. Since she had already ford her first Spiritual Power Vortex, the Spirit Fruit he gave her was of a higher Tier—a Tier Two one.
"Co, co, let share so of my cultivation experience with you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at any ti."
Li Xiang invited the three girls to sit on the bed and began his "sermon."
Looking at the three beautiful girls, he was actually delighted and excited. ’These three really have good talent,’ he thought. ’I originally believed Yao Yao was a bit behind, but who would have thought she’d pull ahead from behind.’
Li Xiang was vastly experienced. As a Tier Seven Extraordinary Being who often discussed cultivation with geniuses like Luo Feifei, guiding these three novices was more than easy for him. San Niu felt they had benefited imnsely.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Xueqing checked out of the room. The four of them went to a nearby restaurant for a simple al. On the way back, Li Xiang noticed that both Lei Xiaohui and Zhao Xueqing were distracted, clearly not yet recovered from the blow, so he had Yao Yao drive.
"Alright, watch ."
Yao Yao’s smile was radiant, and she was in high spirits. After becoming a Tier One Transcendent, her hand-eye coordination had beco more agile, and even her driving skills had improved. She sped all the way, taking the four of them straight to Li Family Village.
Li Xiang sat in the passenger seat and glanced back. He saw that Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui were already deep in their cultivation right there in the car. It seed they were truly anxious.
’But competition is a good thing,’ he thought. ’They can push each other to improve together. If Yao Yao hadn’t felt the pressure from those two before, she wouldn’t have managed to turn the tables.’
After they arrived, since it was still early, the three won didn’t go ho but went straight to work instead.
They had brought back plenty of gifts for the young girls at the shop, and for the security guards as well.
Lei Xiaohui, in particular, had brought a lot of things for Lei Jiaming.
Li Xiang had left their things in the car, telling them to just drive it over to distribute the gifts. The car had been lent to Lei Xiaohui to begin with, and she would be driving it ho after work.
As for Li Xiang, he simply grabbed his suitcase and backpack and returned to his own ho.
His grandmother was busy in the backyard vegetable garden. When she saw Li Xiang return, she couldn’t stop smiling, her grin stretching from ear to ear.
"Are you thirsty, Xiang’Er? Grandma will make you so tea."
Li Xiang quickly stopped his grandmother. How could he let the old woman bustle about for him? He took out a bottle of mineral water, shook it, and said, "Grandma, I still have so of the water I bought."
Then, he took out the gifts he had brought for his grandmother one by one and gave them to her.
"This, this, and this... they’re all for you." Li Xiang explained briefly as he took them out. He didn’t go into detail about things like clothes, hats, and shoes, focusing mainly on the food, practical items, and dicines.
The packaging was all in Thai, English, and Malay, which his grandmother couldn’t read.
"And this," Li Xiang said, taking out another large bag, "you can hand these out in the village. You can decide who you want to give them to." This was a bag of souvenirs for the villagers, and it was only natural for his grandmother to be the one to distribute them.
His grandmother was beaming. Her grandson had gone traveling abroad and brought her back so many things. Besides, with all the big news coming out of Thailand recently, she had been so worried at ho. She never expected him to return safely.
In reality, when Li Xiang went abroad, the ones who should have been worried were the powerful figures of the Alien Races or the criminal underworld.
Li Xiang said, "If you’d like to travel abroad to Europe, North Arica, Japan, South Korea, or so island nations, I can go with you. Traveling within the country is no problem either, of course. We can bring Cai’Er along, and the whole family can go."
His grandmother laughed. "I’m so old, why would I go abroad? I wouldn’t understand a thing. It’s nice enough at ho. Besides, I’m afraid my body couldn’t take it, and I wouldn’t be used to the food."
Hearing this, Li Xiang had so second thoughts himself. He didn’t dare let his elderly grandmother overexert herself for no reason.
She was getting on in years, after all, over seventy.
The fatigue from traveling was a huge burden on an elderly person’s body and could even affect their lifespan. There was also the issue of not acclimatizing, as she might not adapt to the local climate and diet.
Although his grandmother had consud a fair amount of the Low Tier Spiritual dicine he provided, the effects had beco negligible after a while, as she could no longer absorb it. Li Xiang had tried teaching her the Breathing Technique a few tis, but she couldn’t get the hang of it, so he stopped.
He didn’t dare give her High Tier Spiritual dicine either, fearing that her body was too weak to handle the potent supplent, which could be harmful instead.
In this life, his grandmother’s health was much better than it had been at this sa point in his previous life, but unfortunately, it still couldn’t stop the decline that ca with old age.
’If she’s ever going to travel abroad, it’s probably best to do it soon,’ he thought. ’The longer we wait, the older she’ll get, and the more hesitant she’ll be to go.’
But a trip that was too far, one with a flight over ten hours long, would definitely be too much for her.
So, Li Xiang described all the places they could reach within a five-hour flight, asking her to pick one so he could arrange the trip.
His grandmother waved her hands dismissively. "So other ti, so other ti. It’s enough that you have the filial thought. I don’t really have the desire to go."
The old woman really wasn’t very interested in traveling abroad.
Seeing his grandmother was rather resistant to the idea, Li Xiang naturally didn’t insist. Traveling was supposed to be for fun; if it wouldn’t make her happy, then it was better to respect her wishes.
"Grandma, I’ll go wash so fruit for you."
Li Xiang busied himself in the kitchen and, a mont later, ca back with a platter of sliced or peeled fruit. They were all distinctive tropical fruits from Southeast Asia, such as Musang King durian, papaya, longkong, rambutan, mangosteen, tamarind, and so on, which he shared with his grandmother.
