Chapter 198



Upon learning that Yun Xiaoxiao had saved Bai Hongting, her fondness for the girl grew even stronger.

"Please eat more. If it\'s not enough, I\'ll have the kitchen prepare more for you."

Sheng Shuya gazed at Yun Xiaoxiao tenderly, continuously using the serving chopsticks to add food to her plate.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally asked, "Xiaoxiao, what about your parents?"

Though the sudden question seemed somewhat inappropriate.

Usually, she would never ask such privacy-invading questions.

But for some inexplicable reason, at this moment, as if possessed, she couldn\'t help but ask.

While continuing to eat, Yun Xiaoxiao replied nonchalantly, "I have no parents. I was born of heaven and raised by nature."

This response caught Sheng Shuya completely off guard.

Her heart immediately filled with discomfort.

She didn\'t know what had come over her, but hearing this answer made her feel sympathy for the young girl before her.

Even Bai Hongting was surprised by Yun Xiaoxiao\'s casual response.

Could she be an orphan?

Was this why she possessed a maturity and temperament beyond her years?

Unconsciously, compassion crept into Bai Hongting\'s eyes.

Seeing both of them focusing all their attention on Yun Xiaoxiao, Bai Ruo bit her chopsticks so hard they were nearly deformed.

She found Yun Xiaoxiao increasingly irritating!

This feeling was exactly like when her mother was pregnant, and the whole family\'s attention was focused on her yet-unborn sister in her mother\'s belly!

She had never seen her father praise someone so much before.

Nor had she ever seen her mother be so enthusiastic about someone!

What right did this girl have, appearing out of nowhere?!

She felt extremely unhappy.

"Father, I failed this mission. I\'m sorry."

She immediately spoke up, interrupting the conversation between the other three.

After explaining what had happened, her eyes welled up with tears.

"I don\'t know who they were, but they managed to take everything before we could get there."

Yun Xiaoxiao, who was drinking soup, coughed lightly, nearly choking.

Sorry, but that would be the person right in front of you...

Bai Hongting paused for a moment before remembering which mission Bai Ruo was talking about.

He consoled her, "It\'s alright. This was your first mission, and it\'s already quite good that there were no casualties.

We couldn\'t control others taking the items, so don\'t take it to heart."

"Mm-hmm."

Bai Ruo nodded obediently.

Then, she continued.

"Oh, Father, they just notified me that the radio has been fixed.

And they received a message saying that soon, the whole world will enter an ice age.

They warned everyone to prepare by storing supplies and warm clothing.

In my opinion, whoever sent that message is just fear-mongering.

A global ice age? That\'s completely absurd!"

"Maybe not," Sheng Shuya shook her head. "The weather has been strange lately. It\'s never been this cold this time of year."

"Yes, exactly. In matters like these, it\'s better to believe it might happen than to dismiss it entirely," Bai Hongting agreed.

"If what they\'re saying is true, being prepared can only help, not hurt.

Even if it turns out to be false, we won\'t lose anything.

We need to collect supplies anyway, and if we store extra now, we can use them gradually.

Besides, we need warm clothing for winter anyway."

Seeing both of them contradict her, Bai Ruo felt somewhat displeased.

But after hearing their explanation, she had to admit they had a point.

Not wanting their attention to return to Yun Xiaoxiao, she continued speaking.

"Also, the communications department staff mentioned that a base called Yun City in the southwest claims they have evolution serum.

They say this serum can enhance the abilities of power users without any side effects.

Should we send someone to investigate?"

Hearing this, Yun Xiaoxiao looked up.

Yes, go ahead, send more power cores her way.

Bai Hongting\'s hand paused mid-motion while picking up food, "No side effects?"

"Yes, that\'s what they said on the radio.

But I think it might just be an exaggeration to fool people.

Our Northern Base has the best research team in the country.

Even though we\'ve been using simple research equipment from town, it\'s still far better than what small bases have.

Everyone knows that when it comes to research, talent is what matters most.

Even our evolution serum has such obvious side effects, so how could a small base in a remote city possibly have someone that capable?

And with no side effects at all? That\'s clearly a lie."

Bai Ruo pouted, completely skeptical.

Her suggestion to investigate was merely to expose their lies.

The most powerful bases were only the five national ones - East, South, West, North, and Central.

She\'d never even heard of this Yun City.

How could they possibly have such capable people?

Yun Xiaoxiao rubbed her nose.

True, they didn\'t have such capable people.

But they did have the almighty little enemy.

What Bai Ruo didn\'t know was that the very person she was disparaging, the master of Yun City, was sitting right in front of her, calmly enjoying her meal.

"Whether it\'s true or not, we\'ll find out when we check," Bai Hongting\'s eyes grew serious.

If it were true, it would be of enormous benefit to all of humanity!

After this, Bai Ruo kept trying to make conversation.

Bai Hongting and Sheng Shuya couldn\'t very well ignore her, so they played along.

However, Sheng Shuya couldn\'t help secretly glancing at Yun Xiaoxiao and continuing to add food to her plate.

"Are you full? If not, I\'ll have the kitchen make more of what you like."

Looking at the empty plates, Sheng Shuya felt concerned.

How long had this child gone without a proper meal?

She must have been so hungry.

Bai Ruo nearly rolled her eyes.

Was this brat part pig?

How could such a young child eat so much!

She had practically cleaned out several large plates of food!

Yun Xiaoxiao let out a satisfied burp.

"No need, I\'m full."

Bai Ruo scoffed internally - of course you\'re full, you ate everything! Who wouldn\'t be full after that?!

"It\'s getting late. Why don\'t you stay here for the night, and I\'ll give you the power cores in the morning?"

Aliali: 6754b41abd5e46c308a49998

Bai Hongting said with a smile.

Yun Xiaoxiao nodded, "Alright."

With free food and lodging, she saw no reason to refuse.

After all, getting something for nothing was always a win.

Bai Ruo was very unhappy about Yun Xiaoxiao staying, but she couldn\'t say so directly.

She had to maintain a happy expression.

"Then little sister Xiaoxiao can stay next to my room, there\'s a guest room right beside mine."

Yun Xiaoxiao gave her an ambiguous smile while sizing her up.

This person was quite interesting, with her outer expression completely opposite to her inner thoughts.

Wasn\'t it tiring to keep up such an act?
