Chapter 50: Chapter 50: The Grand Dream of Spring and Autumn Chapter 50: Chapter 50: The Grand Dream of Spring and Autumn “How’s it going?” Seeing that his family members had all fallen asleep around him, Qiu Da took it upon himself to stand watch.
He couldn’t sleep and noticed that his wife also had her eyes open. Out of concern, he gently patted her palm.
“We have to hit the road again in a bit, so try to get some rest.”
Madam Liu shook her head, “How can I sleep? My heart feels cold whenever I think about the scene we witnessed last night.”
“It’s okay, I’m here.”
As he spoke, Qiu Da firmly grasped Madam Liu’s cold fingertips.
A grown man’s body temperature is naturally higher than a woman’s, and Qiu Da’s grasp undoubtedly gave Madam Liu confidence.
The low murmurs of Qiu Da and his wife sounded like a lullaby to Bai Junjun, who had been merely closing her eyes to cultivate her Special Ability. Gradually, under the couple’s incessant chatter, she too drifted off to sleep.
In her dream, she saw a little green mung bean sprouting slowly in her Qi Sea, growing taller and branching out with leaves that grew increasingly bright and shiny.
When Xiao Miao grew its twelfth leaf, her Special Ability had indeed returned to the Twelfth-rank Great Perfection.
Bai Junjun no longer had to worry about her Special Ability disappearing. She wildly manipulated it, rejuvenating the barren land and turning the desolate grass into fields of barley.
And there she stood, in the fragrant orchard of her estate, laughing madly.
The greatest melon farmer in history was none other than her!
While Bai Junjun was having this wonderful dream, suddenly her hand was shaken.
“Big sister, it’s time. We should get going.”
Bai Junjun instantly opened her eyes from her dream, and upon focusing her vision, she saw that Old Uncle Qiu’s entire family, including Bai Sasa and Bai Lingyu, were all looking at her with strange expressions.
“Junjun… did you dream of something extraordinary? You were laughing in a really eerie way.”
“It must have been something really joyous, right?”
The Qiu brothers couldn’t help but tease her.
“Alright, stop teasing the young lady and get moving. Let’s eat some dry food and hit the road.”
Old Uncle Qiu saw Bai Junjun’s embarrassment and laughed as he spoke up to deflect the awkwardness.
With Old Uncle Qiu’s words, the family no longer lingered to chat but seriously started gnawing at the leftover roasted meat from last night.
However, after seeing so many corpses and smelling those odors, the taste of the meat was now naturally lackluster.
Everyone was eating with a troubled look on their faces.
Seeing this, Old Uncle Qiu stepped in to guide them again, “Eat quickly. The later it gets, the more you won’t feel like eating.”
His words shocked everyone; some thought about the increasing number of corpses ahead, while others thought about how the meat would spoil if left too long…
All in all, it made everyone eat with even greater discomfort.
Yet Bai Junjun didn’t pay attention to such an exciting topic.
Her mind was wholly occupied with the grand dream she had just experienced.
Thinking of the Twelfth-rank Great Perfection from her dream, she felt a tinge of regret as she checked the Special Ability in her Qi Sea.
But upon entering, she was astounded.
That small green bead the size of a mung bean really seemed to be sprouting at the tip, showing a bit of a sprout.
“!” Bai Junjun’s eyes widened.
Could it be that after days and nights of absorbing energy nonstop, she finally had a breakthrough and was about to progress to the First Rank?
But, up until she fell asleep, she had checked the Qi Sea, and there had been no changes to the little green bean.
After a night’s sleep, it had begun to sprout!
Bai Junjun narrowed her eyes and analyzed. Could it be that she had developed a Precognitive Dream Ability?
…No, that wasn’t right.
Even among the Mental Series Abilities, one couldn’t make daydreams become reality, let alone her non-Mental Series Ability.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Bai Junjun’s mind.
Could it be because she had fallen asleep?
Thinking of the past few days when she had been relentlessly storing energy without sleeping for even a moment.
Bai Junjun felt that she had stumbled upon the truth.
