Chapter 812: Chapter 812: The Tragic Lei Zun and a Pair of Sisters (First Release) Chapter 812: Chapter 812: The Tragic Lei Zun and a Pair of Sisters (First Release) In Jile City.
Xue Xiang and Nian Nian sat beside the bed, propping their cheeks in their hands as they watched An Yan fall into a deep sleep once again.
“Sister, when will Mom wake up?” Nian Nian’s voice carried a hint of sobbing.
Although Xue Xiang was also very scared, at that moment, she still took on the role of an older sister and said very calmly, “Don’t worry, Mom will definitely be fine! She should wake up very soon!”
“Wuuu, Mom has fainted, and Dad’s not home, I’m so scared!” Unable to control herself, Nian Nian burst into tears.
Xue Xiang felt her nose tingle, and her eyes also brimmed with tears, but she still took a strong sniff and pretended to be carefree as she said, “Okay, okay! Didn’t Dad turn out fine! Rest assured, maybe Dad will come back the next second!”
She looked for all the world like a little adult.
“But I’m still scared! That day’s premonition was just too bad!” Nian Nian wiped away her tears, still terrified.
The mention of that day’s incident made Xue Xiang somewhat afraid too.
That day, both of them suddenly experienced a strong unease and then had a premonition that their father was in an extremely dangerous situation.
At the time, the two of them were so frightened that they started crying loudly.
Afterwards, An Yan disregarded everything to urge her cultivation level forward, sending out a calling Divine Sense across the void.
Only then did the two little girls feel the uneasy premonition gradually disappear.
But immediately afterwards, their mother fainted to the ground.
Both young girls knew that this was because An Yan had recklessly used all her cultivation level, triggering the seal, and had fallen into a coma once again.
So the pair joined forces to carry An Yan to the bed, and then they waited by the bed for their mother to wake up.
But as time passed, almost a whole day went by, and their mother had not woken up, nor was there any news from their father.
For two children no more than six or seven years old, the fact that they had managed to hold on until now was already very strong.
“Okay, okay, don’t be afraid, you still have me, right?” Xue Xiang comforted her.
But it seemed she had forgotten that she was only six minutes older than her sister Nian Nian.
However, Nian Nian had a lot of faith in her sister, and upon hearing her comforting words, she gradually calmed down.
But a few minutes later, a rumbling noise came from Nian Nian’s stomach.
“Sister, I’m hungry!”
Xue Xiang was also feeling a bit hungry by then.
So the two of them started looking for something to eat.
But the last cookie had been consumed by Nian Nian an hour ago.
Now, aside from snack wrappers scattered on the floor, there was nothing edible left.
As for other snacks, they were all stored in An Yan’s Mustard Seed Ring.
Both girls couldn’t open it.
The sisters looked at each other with big eyes gazing at small ones and then said in unison, “What should we do?”
“Sister, shall we go out and buy some food?”
“No, now that Mom is in a coma, we have to protect her! What if we leave and bad people come in? Besides, we don’t have any money either!” Xue Xiang thought very far ahead.
“Then what do we do? Are we just going to stay hungry?” Nian Nian said, feeling very wronged.
Xue Xiang stroked her chin with her plump little hand and paced back and forth in the room, seriously pondering over the difficult problem before her.
Not daring to disturb her, Nian Nian followed behind Xue Xiang, walking back and forth as well.
Indeed! What to do?
Having nothing to eat is indeed a big problem!
Xue Xiang mulled it over in her mind, her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw the dough on the kitchen counter that An Yan had used for experimentation.
“I’ve got it!” Xue Xiang suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Following behind with her head lowered, Nian Nian couldn’t stop in time and bumped right into Xue Xiang, her nose hitting the back of Xue Xiang’s head.
“Ah! Sister! Why did you stop suddenly without saying anything? Wuuu, my nose hurts!” Nian Nian said, covering her sore nose, feeling very aggrieved.
Xue Xiang also grimaced in pain as she touched the back of her head, but she said excitedly, “Nian Nian, I have a solution!”
“What solution?”
“We can cook our own food!”
“Cook our own food?”
“Yes!”
“But… we don’t know how to do it!”
Xue Xiang slapped her chest, “Just because we don’t know, does it mean we can’t learn?”
“But…” Xue Nian was still hesitant.
“Oh, come on, I’ve watched mom and dad cook all the time, it’s really simple, nothing difficult! Nian Nian, come and be my assistant!”
The more Xue Xiang talked, the more excited she became, immediately rolling up her sleeves, ready to dive into action.
Although Xue Nian always felt something was off, the feeling of hunger was too much to bear for a little foodie like her, so she nodded as well, “Okay!”
No sooner said than done.
Xue Xiang first brought over a small stool and then stood on it, mimicking what she had seen and started kneading the dough.
“Sister, what are you making?”
“Steaming buns!” Xue Xiang said without even looking up.
Soon, Xue Xiang was drenched in sweat, but she actually managed to knead the dough into several individual balls.
“Sister, you’re amazing!” Xue Nian watched with wide eyes and couldn’t help but exclaim with admiration.
“Of course, who do you think your sister is!” Xue Xiang was very proud of herself.
“Go, add some water to that pot!”
“Alright!”
Eager to have a taste of the warm, steaming buns, Xue Nian also started to work hard.
If one bucket of water was too heavy, then take half a bucket.
Little by little, Xue Nian managed to fill half the pot with water.
“That’s enough!” said Xue Xiang.
She then rummaged for a bamboo steamer, placed it over the pot, and set the buns on top.
But when it came to lighting the fire, the two little girls were at a loss.
Because there were no matches here, let alone a lighter—starting a fire required flint.
They had no idea how to use it.
But this didn’t stump Xue Xiang. With a turn of her eyes, she went over to the bed, grabbed her mother’s flat-bottomed pan, and brought it over.
“Sister, what are you going to do?”
“Start a fire, what else?”
“But can you do that with this?”
“Don’t worry about it; if I say it can, then it can!”
As she spoke, Xue Xiang waved the flat-bottomed pan over the stove.
Nothing happened.
“Sister, there’s no fire!”
Xue Xiang’s expression turned a little ugly as she shouted at the flat-bottomed pan, “Hey, come out now!”
Still no response.
“Quit playing dumb, I know you’re at home, speak up!”
The silence continued.
Xue Xiang’s little face tightened.
“Not talking, huh? Humph, you really think I won’t ask dad to smash you into pieces when he gets back?”
Finally.
A lazy voice came from the flat-bottomed pan, “Kid, what do you want from this Thunder Sovereign?”
It was Lei Zun who had been forged into the pan by Xue An.
Xue Xiang pointed at the stove, “See that stove? When I swing my hand later, you light it up for me!”
“What? I am the grand Ninth Revolutions Thunder Sovereign, and you’re asking me to start a fire? No way!”
“Really not going to do it?”
“A joke, with my status, how could I possibly do something like this? Of course not!”
Xue Xiang nodded, “Alright, then when dad comes back, I’ll tell him you bullied me! Just think about what the consequences will be then?”
Lei Zun: “…”
