Chapter 258
This left Yu Xunge feeling quite frustrated, and collecting the maple syrup in the world of the grave was no easy task. There was no good method; it was all down to luck. On the other hand, Feng Cang seemed to have a natural affinity for this, and surprisingly, she managed to find a piece and handed it over to Feng Tang.
Feng Tang would occasionally send Yu Xunge a shooting skill book, but the frequency was low. She would only send them when Yu Xunge had gathered the skills needed by all three daughters. More importantly, her standards were incredibly high; she wouldn’t even consider anything below A-grade, believing they were unworthy of her daughters.
Feeling a bit lightheaded?
Feeling a bit too good, huh?
One morning, after realizing this, Yu Xunge quietly pulled Feng Tang into a corner and whispered, “Mother, I want to talk to you about my dreams.”
The bloodthirst and fierce aura accumulated from years of battle melted away from Feng Tang’s face in an instant. Her expression turned sweet and gentle as she squatted down to embrace Feng Ran, softly asking, “What is it? Tell me about your dream.”
Yu Xunge raised her palm to block her whisper: “My dream is to have a long-distance movement skill that can ignore all constraints, preferably at SSS level.”
Feng Tang’s sweet expression froze: “………………………”
That was the first time Yu Xunge had seen such a vivid and rich expression on Feng Tang’s face, and she understood it instantly.
That expression was saying: I’ve never even seen an SSS-level skill, what are you dreaming about?!
Yu Xunge quickly added, “SS level is fine too, Mother, I’m not picky.”
As soon as she finished speaking, her wings were grabbed by Feng Cang, who then wrapped his other arm around Yu Xunge’s neck, holding her firmly. He gently said to Feng Tang, “Mother, she hasn’t woken up yet. I’ll take her to sleep a bit more.”
With that, he started to drag Yu Xunge away.
Yu Xunge reached out to Feng Tang, calling out, “Mother! S level is fine! Mother, Ran Ran is scared.”
Feng Cang: “…”
Feng Tang: “…”
Feng Mu, who had just stepped into the house: “…” Her hand holding the whip couldn’t help but tighten!
After that day, Feng Mu took Feng Ran and Feng Cang away from home to the battlefield for half a month, not allowing them to return at night, only permitting them to sleep in the trees.
Feng Cang asked Feng Mu, “What does it have to do with me?”
Feng Mu smiled and replied, “Just to thank you for the hair growth potion you sent last week.”
Yu Xunge shot a glance at Feng Cang: You’ve committed a grave sin.
Feng Cang and Yu Xunge exchanged glances, their eyes quickly sweeping over Feng Mu’s forehead, then back to Yu Xunge: Even if the Forest Sea perishes and the tower collapses, Feng Mu’s hairline will still be the highest in the family!
Sitting between them, Feng Mu leaned back and joined the conversation, coldly saying, “I’m not dead yet.”
……
In the year 7200 of the Ruin Core, Feng Ran turned 11 and finally advanced to Special Jonin. Not only that, she had finally made a name for herself, becoming a well-known support on the battlefield!
She was extremely stingy with her skills; her healing never overflowed or wasted. But as long as she was in charge of a squad, no one ever died. As long as you had a breath left, she could pull you back from the brink of death! In Feng Ran’s team, you could always trust her.
That year, Song Gui, who had always been overshadowed by Feng Tang and Tao Mian, acquired a dragon named Li Zhou.
Upon hearing that Song Gui had gotten a dragon, Feng Tang sulked at home for several days.
“How could that be?” “It’s not that impressive…” “The dragon’s wings are hideous!” “How did she even get a dragon?” “Where on earth did she find it…?” “A red dragon? That color matches our orange-red wings so well! Song Gui’s green wings are so out of place! It’s a dragon, can she even take care of it?!”
Yu Xunge quietly watched the spectacle, unable to hide her amusement, until she was hit by a petal bun thrown by Feng Mu. If she hadn’t caught it quickly, the bun would have almost fallen to the ground.
This was the petal bun I personally steamed! A new recipe from Feng Tang that could temporarily increase luck by 1 point!
Yu Xunge glared at Feng Mu, holding the bun with a hint of anger. She was particularly annoyed!
But fine, considering that Feng Mu had just given her a C-level skill called “Colorful Hues” that could change the color of her eyes, hair, wings, and even teeth, she let it slide.
Another day of eating her sister’s leftovers and enduring her sister’s bullying.
Character settings, they’re just character settings!
Feng Cang seemed to particularly enjoy watching Feng Mu “bully” Feng Ran. She smiled as she observed the whole scene, reaching out to smooth Yu Xunge’s hair. She always felt that whenever her sister got angry, the feathers on her hair and wings would slightly bristle.
Feng Mu was also very good to Feng Cang. While Feng Cang was more tolerant by nature, over time, Yu Xunge noticed that Feng Mu truly acted more like an older sister. She took the responsibility of caring for her two younger sisters seriously.
Not only would she bring skill books and equipment for Feng Ran, but she would also consciously help her match skills. She did the same for Feng Cang.
**Chapter 335: Feng Ran · Little Bear Cookie · Cheers**
Of course, it wouldn’t be fair to say that Feng Ran and Feng Cang only enjoyed and never contributed.
Aside from her love for sleeping in, Feng Cang was a great sister and daughter at all other times. The jewelry and equipment she made for Feng Tang, Feng Mu, and Feng Ran always used the best materials, meticulously crafted, and the finished products resembled works of art. The necklace she wore was still the little bear cookie necklace that Feng Ran had made for her not long ago, strung together with twelve little bear cookies.
At first, the cookies weren’t in the shape of bears; they were just small round cookies. At that time, there were no little bear cookies, and Yu Xunge would never do something so silly.
Back then, Yu Xunge had simply baked a batch of small round cookies, and one tray had been overcooked, scoring only 93 points. She turned them into a necklace for Feng Cang, joking that if Feng Cang got hungry at night, she could take the cookie necklace apart for a midnight snack.
Feng Cang loved the necklace strung with several small cookies. Yu Xunge had been with Feng Ran for so long and had never seen Feng Cang show such open emotion. She processed the cookie necklace, adding a few gems, and it instantly transformed into a decent blue-grade item. But after all, it was still a cookie; it couldn’t compare to the high-grade metals that Feng Tang and Feng Mu had found for her.
That day, Yu Xunge sat on the branch of the Mu tree at the door, staring blankly at the Forest Sea for an entire afternoon, still unable to understand Feng Cang’s behavior. What was the point? Wouldn’t it be better to get a nicer necklace with more attributes?
Those were just some very ordinary little cookies. She would make a batch every few days and leave them in the living room for everyone to share, placed on a wooden tray between the vase and the butter beer made by Feng Tang. The little cookies never ran out, and she would always check how many were left whenever she changed the flowers.
She had thought about changing the flavor more than once, but whether Feng Cang genuinely liked those little cookies or was just nostalgic, every time Yu Xunge brought new snacks, Feng Cang would come to ask her why she hadn’t made the little cookies anymore.
Eventually, she even took the initiative to provide blueprints, saying she had heard from Feng Tang that there were cute little bear cookies in the outside world, and she wanted to eat cookies shaped like those bears.
When Yu Xunge saw that, she thought, isn’t this brown bear just the little bear cookie from the Acorn? Had it appeared this early?
But it didn’t matter; as long as it had a source, it was fine. So, the small round cookies next to the butter beer barrel were transformed into little bear cookies.
Not long ago, Feng Cang asked Yu Xunge to make another string of little bear cookie necklaces for her, and Yu Xunge did, which was the very string Feng Cang was now wearing around her neck.
Yu Xunge couldn’t understand or agree with Feng Cang’s actions, but her heart couldn’t deceive her. For a moment, she almost thought she heard the sound of her inner wound beginning to heal, flesh growing back.
But she knew, she understood, she could be sure! That was just a fleeting illusion.
She wasn’t Feng Ran, and she didn’t need these things.
She had always lived happily, and her happiness had always come from within.
Feng Cang took care of the emotional value of the family, while Yu Xunge took care of the daily meals.
Yu Xunge would prepare various portable buff dishes based on where and when they were going to dungeon dive, but she never prepared anything for the Acorns other than her family. Since Feng Mu had called her stingy when they first met, and Feng Cang sometimes called her that too, she wouldn’t be foolishly generous.
When they went out to dungeon dive together, the cooldowns for the longest and most powerful buff skills were always reserved for Feng Tang, Feng Mu, and Feng Cang, even if her teammates complained that she was selfish and lacked team spirit; she didn’t care.
Because she knew that Feng Tang, Feng Mu, and Feng Cang loved her for this selfishness, and they were pained by it too. The most important and powerful healing skills, she wouldn’t even use on herself.
The momentary courage of a coward, the steadfastness of a stingy person, was the most special. She watered and fertilized, waiting for the day of harvest.
And that year, her wings finally fully developed, and Feng Tang began to personally teach her how to properly use her wings.
Wings were the source of power for the Acorns, and they weren’t just for flying. The abilities of different Acorn wings varied, and they would all activate their powers on their 11th birthday. The Acorns referred to this action as “ignition.” The method and timing of igniting each type of wing were different.
In previous cycles, Yu Xunge had missed the special age of 11 for all the identities she had obtained. She couldn’t go back to learn from the elders how to ignite her wings, and she didn’t even dare to ask other Acorns. Every time she played the role of a traitor, she would gather information from all around.
