Chapter 131: Divine Law: Realm of Freedom
“System, explain the skill just now?”
【[Divine Law: Realm of Freedom]: One-time skill, creates a realm of freedom with an unchangeable location after use. The size is 1 meter × 1 meter × 1 meter. People inside the realm can reduce physical and mental consumption, quickly recover energy, and many other effects. Valid for 1 month, lasts for 1 month (calculated from the time of activation).】
Uh.
Wen Yu was dumbfounded again.
What was this “Realm of Freedom” like the immortal’s cave described in novels, where one could accelerate cultivation and restore spirit?
It sounded extremely daunting, but “one side” really meant “one cubic”, such a small area, lying inside wouldn’t even fit one’s head and feet. What good was that?
Wen Yu thought about it for a moment, but didn’t quite understand the usefulness of this skill.
Oh well, let’s leave it for now.
After all, restoring physical strength, spirit, and so on, he didn’t seem to need it right now.
Wen Yu withdrew his thoughts from the system and refocused his attention on the wishing plaque.
Although he had been interrupted for a while, his mind became much clearer—
No need to dwell on it, just write something random according to his mood!
***
After finishing writing the wishing plaque, Wen Yu waited for about five minutes before seeing his parents squeezing out from the crowd.
As his father approached while looking at the tree, he asked, “Son, finished writing?”
“Yeah, I’m done.”
“What did you write?”
His mother followed from behind, listening to her husband’s chatter, and tapped his back, “You, asking this for what? If you say out your wishes, they won’t come true!”
Wen Yu’s father protested, “But if you write it down, others can see it too.”
“Others won’t know who wrote it!”
“Alright, alright… Xiao Yu, I won’t ask anymore.”
Wen Yu couldn’t help but laugh, “It’s okay, just writing it for myself, seeking some peace of mind.”
“Are we going back now?” Wen Yu’s mother asked.
“Yes.”
The family slowly moved towards the exit.
As they left, Wen Yu glanced back at the wishing plaques on the tree, and smiled faintly: there was also one of his up there.
“Son, keep up, don’t get lost!”
Wen Yu’s father’s voice came from the crowd ahead, and Wen Yu replied loudly:
“Coming!”
The mountain breeze brushed gently, and many red plaques behind the youth swayed. One hanging high also swayed gently, the words on it were very clear, obviously just written.
There were two lines of text, concise and clear:
“Parting in yesterday’s dream, Meeting again in today’s romance.”
***
The Wen family finished burning incense and returned home, nearly noon.
In the afternoon, they had to go out to visit relatives and friends for the New Year, to exchange greetings and chat with those close by.
So as soon as Wen Yu’s parents returned home, they immediately went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Wen Yu had originally wanted to join in the simple family activities, but was driven out and could only sit on the sofa, stroking the cat while chatting with Fu Chengque.
【Wen Yu】: I’m home.
【Wen Yu】: Going to visit relatives in the afternoon, hope to get some lucky money.
【Fu Chengque】: [Picture]
【Fu Chengque】: Haha, I’ve already got a bunch! The most I got was 50!
【Fu Chengque】: I’m already rich!
【Wen Yu】: That’s too much!
【Wen Yu】: Must be several hundred?
【Fu Chengque】: Not that much, I just counted in secret, it’s 200!
【Wen Yu】: Wow, that’s like an hour’s worth of income for me!
【Fu Chengque】: Hehe, you’re just boasting. [Cat proud] [Cat disdain]
【Fu Chengque】: I bet you’re only getting from aunts and uncles now?
【Fu Chengque】: Hahaha!
【Wen Yu】: Rich girl, send me a red envelope?
【Fu Chengque】: Wait until the end to see how much more I have than you~ If it’s more, I’ll send you some.
【Wen Yu】: You’re really gentle.
【Fu Chengque】: Ew—
【Fu Chengque】: I’m going back in the afternoon! Gonna go eat first.
【Wen Yu】: [Cat eagerly anticipating]
After the chat, Wen Yu flipped through the records.
Plain, ordinary.
But even with such mundane content, he was happy chatting with Fu Chengque.
Thinking carefully, it seemed like they always talked like this, and he didn’t feel anything special at those times.
Today, this feeling was a bit clearer —
He enjoyed chatting like this with Fu Chengque.
With these thoughts in mind, the kitchen also called out “Dinner’s ready”, and Wen Yu quickly tidied up and sat at the table, ready to eat.
Many of the dishes were leftovers from the New Year’s Eve dinner, but they were still delicious.
The family ate and chatted.
Wen Yu’s father asked, “Qiao’er’s family is coming back today, right? Should we have dinner together tonight?”
Wen Yu’s mother nodded, “Sure, they didn’t cook last night either, and they’ll be tired from coming back by car again today. Let’s not bother.”
“Can we buy dumpling wrappers outside? Shall we get some?”
“Where would we find dumpling wrappers today? Roll them ourselves.”
“Okay, we’ll come back earlier in the afternoon then.”
After that, Wen Yu’s father looked at Wen Yu and said with a smile, “I’ll take you to visit some friends, say some nice words.”
Wen Yu’s mother gave him a glance, “You don’t need to teach, Xiao Yu knows now, he’s sensible! Better at talking than you!”
“Why are you bringing me into this…”
“You should admit it!”
“…”
This cheerful atmosphere lasted until the end of lunch.
In the afternoon, the family followed the familiar route as in previous years. According to Jiangcheng customs, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, one does not visit relatives, but can visit close friends under the guise of exchanging New Year greetings, especially families with elders, to catch up on family affairs.
In his past life, Wen Yu was very impatient with visiting and seeing relatives. Sometimes his father couldn’t persuade him, so he had to go alone. This year, his son was very cooperative, which made him very happy.
So whenever Wen Yu asked how to address someone, he patiently explained each time. With enough time, he would even talk about the origins of the two families —
Some friendships even spanned generations.
After visiting these families, Wen Yu had accumulated seven or eight more red envelopes, totaling over 300.
He held the red envelopes in his hand and took a photo.
【Wen Yu】: [Image]
【Wen Yu】: Not much, just almost 400.
【Fu Chengque】: [Cat angry]
【Fu Chengque】: Wow, you secretly went to someone else’s house behind my back!
【Wen Yu】: ?
【Wen Yu】: Why does that sound so strange coming from you?
【Fu Chengque】: What’s strange about it? Isn’t it true?
【Fu Chengque】: I’m in the car, almost there!
【Wen Yu】: No need to be jealous, just fly over directly.
【Fu Chengque】: Bullshit, I’m going home!
【Wen Yu】: My family is welcoming yours, we’re having dinner at my place tonight, making dumplings.
【Fu Chengque】: I know, my mom told me.
【Wen Yu】: Just wait, I’ll add some stuff to the dumplings, I’ll make sure you eat them!
【Fu Chengque】: ??? What are you going to add?!
【Wen Yu】: Hahaha! Add a packet of salt, white pepper powder, lots of white vinegar… there are many methods!
【Wen Yu】: [Cat laughs]
【Fu Chengque】: ??? You villain!
【Fu Chengque】: Wow, you evil villain, you’re trying to harm me!!
【Fu Chengque】: Shameless and lawless! You have no respect for authority!
【Fu Chengque】: I’m going to sue you!!! [Cat furious]
【Wen Yu】: You’re already an Empress, who are you suing?
【Wen Yu】: Is the Empress going to judge herself? Hahaha…
【Fu Chengque】: I’m going to sue your mom.
【Wen Yu】: …
Hiss—!
Oh no!!!
I’ve been tricked by the chuunibyou Fu Chengque, always thinking of her as a foolish Empress, forgetting that she’s actually an existence who can directly access the heavens!
