Chapter 246 A-Ying Returns, Secret Realm Opens Ahead of Schedule

The shaking of the protective array disrupted the Wen family's New Year's Eve dinner.

The Wen family members, who were holding cups, all looked at the bamboo roof. Their great formation could only protect a small area, only about ten feet above the roof. Who was trying to sabotage it?

Suddenly, a small bird crashed into the area of ​​the array. The soft barrier bounced the bird a few times, and before it knew it, the bird slid down the barrier to the ground...

This comical scene made the Wen family children burst into laughter, and the adults in the Wen family also smiled.

Hearing the children's laughter, the bird suddenly flew to eye level with the adults and chirped incessantly inside. After chirping, it turned its rear end towards the Wen family, spread its wings, and hugged itself up. After waiting a while and receiving no response, it turned around, chirped again, and then turned around and hugged itself up again...

In an instant, a voice rang in Wenwen's mind, "Master, those little brats of yours are laughing at me, waaaaah~~~ You have to avenge me! Who are you? What's the point of setting up this stupid formation? Are you just bored? Is it necessary in the mortal realm? They're so shameless and arrogant, so annoying and showy! I finally managed to come back, and I even tripped and fell near my doorstep! Master—avenge me—"

This incredible feat, combined with the voice in her head, told Wenwen that Aying had returned.

At the same time, Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin also recognized the broken bird. "Oh, this is my sister's pet bird. It's back. Master, quick, let it in."

Master Zhou used his magic to create an opening next to A-Ying.

Wenwen called out at the right moment, "Aying, come in."

A small bird, no bigger than a palm, flew in through the gap, circled once above everyone's heads, and landed on Wenwen's shoulder.

Sitting next to Wenwen, Wen Chengyu looked at the little bird curiously. "Sister, its feathers are so pretty! Can I touch them?"

Aying was still angry, but the child praised it for being beautiful, so she thought the little brat had good taste. She jumped off Wenwen's shoulder, slowly walked up to Wen Chengyu, tilted her bird head, and looked at Wen Chengyu.

Sensing the bird's friendliness, Wen Chengyu reached out his little hand and stroked A Ying's feathers one by one.

Wenqing held her rice bowl and handed it to the little bird, saying, "Here's some good food for you, and let me pet it too."

Aying looked at the food in Wenqing's bowl. Although the food in the child's bowl didn't look very appealing, it was still quite generous. This child was someone to befriend. Aying spread her wings and brushed Wenqing's little hand with the tip of her wing, which made Wenqing giggle.

Several other children saw this and came over, shouting, "Here, have some! Let me touch it too!"

Before anyone could notice, Wenqing placed a piece of chicken in her bowl, followed by a piece of char siu, and then a braised egg. A beat slower, Yao Xiaomi pulled a handful of peanuts from her pocket and scattered them all into the bowl...

Uh!

Wenwen never expected that this wretched bird would be so popular with the children as soon as it arrived.

The Wen family was even more surprised that Wenwen had a pet. When did she get one? How come they didn't know? However, they decided to leave these questions to themselves for now and find out when the time was right.

Wenwen glanced at Aying and the children, picked up a plate, randomly picked out a few dishes, and said, "Aying, sit here and play with them."

Then she coaxed her younger siblings over, saying, "Come on, Aying is already sitting at your little table, go and eat."

The brief interruption of Aying's return delayed the Wen family's New Year's Eve dinner for a short while, but the dinner continued.

This year, everyone has been busy with their spiritual practice and rarely has time to get together. When we usually have a meal together, something is missing.

Sometimes, when the Wei family went to Fuyuan District to do business, the Wen family would also go along. The Wen family could also be seen at the Ye family clinic. Anyone who wanted to learn medicine could go to the Ye family hospital to observe and learn.

Therefore, tonight's New Year's Eve dinner is a long-awaited reunion for the Wen family.

The meal lasted until late at night, until the early hours of the morning. The adults drank and chatted about all sorts of things, their words flowing freely and their tongues tied in knots. Even when they were drunk, their mouths kept moving, and they were still in high spirits.

The children were acting like crazy people—oh, no, I mean crazy birds. I don't know how it happened, but the warbler became familiar with the children after just one meal. After the meal, she made the children laugh out loud, flying here and there, making the children chase her all over the yard.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time had passed, the female cooks, unable to bear it any longer, roared like shrewish lions, and everyone went inside and fell asleep.

The next day, the Wen family woke up late for the first time ever. Since that was the case, they decided to take a two- or three-day break as a way to maintain a balance between work and rest.

Since the patriarch has spoken, let's put aside our cultivation and do whatever we want today. However, only one day has passed, and on the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, many members of the Wen family went to the cave. Cultivation really can be addictive!

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Master Zhou's classes resumed, and the Wen family members also resumed their cultivation as usual.

Wenwen told Wen Yuanqian and then went into Cave No. 2.

Aying followed them in, leisurely flying low to circle and surveying the area, clicking her tongue as she said, "Master, there's something I'm not sure if I should say. Look, the concentration of spiritual energy in the mortal realm is clearly almost insufficient for your family's cultivation. Why don't you move to another place?"

Wenwen sighed deeply, her shoulders slumped, and she said helplessly, "Where can we change to? Can we just change to anywhere? You know our family's situation."

Aying shook her head and chirped a few times. The next second, a flash of golden light appeared, and a large piece of ore, a gold ore boulder, appeared on the ground...

Having mined for a year and delivered ore for a year, and having seen other ores in Mobei City, Wenwen was no stranger to the ore in front of her.

She pointed to the ore on the ground, and after a while, she found her voice, swallowed hard, and asked, "Where did you find this?"

Aying didn't answer, but chirped again, and a piece of hematite appeared on the ground. It wasn't just the size of a palm, but a large piece.

Wenwen immediately beamed with a fawning expression, "Ah Ying, Uncle Ying, please be kind and tell me what you want to eat. Just tell me, and I'll give you everything I have."

"What good food could there be in this wretched place?" Aying actually acted arrogantly.

This is a bit of a dilemma. She doesn't have anything to bribe her with. Why would a divine bird covet her things?

Wenwen was momentarily at a loss, and cautiously tried to appease her, "Then tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"Really?"

"Really, as long as I can do it." Wenwen stopped being coy at this point. As for those modern conditions like not killing or arson and not breaking the law, let's not mention them. There are no such rules here.

Aying's small green bead eyes suddenly gleamed, and she slowly uttered, "The secret realm will open ahead of schedule."

what?
