Chapter 1073: Ending It for Good
Chapter 1073: Chapter 1073: Ending It for Good
Wang Cuihong stood nervously to the side, seeing Su Yuanyuan up close for the first time.
She’s so beautiful. I feel embarrassed to even speak to her.
Why do they look so different if they’re siblings? But Ziqiang is also quite good-looking. He resembles her by twenty percent.
The family of five didn’t stop and continued their journey along the mountain path.
Wang Cuihong couldn’t help but say, "The mountain is too dangerous. I even heard wolf howls last winter. You’d better not go up."
Su Yuanyuan turned back to look at Wang Cuihong, recognizing her good intentions. "Thank you."
After saying that, she turned her head and continued walking, remembering the times she had dealt with many wolves herself.
Wang Cuihong watched them walk away, sighed, and went back inside to see Su Liangliang lying on the kang, looking at their son.
"Who were you talking to just now? Didn’t you tell them not to go up the mountain?"
"It was Su Yuanyuan and her family."
Su Liangliang was stunned. Yes, she used to live here alone. Going up the mountain must be routine for her.
"Did you tell them about the wolves on the mountain?"
"I did. She just said thank you and didn’t say anything else."
Su Liangliang sat up and sighed. He didn’t know what to say.
Qi Yan walked in front. "Mom, how’s your movement technique coming along?"
"Not bad. Do you want to spar with me?"
"Sure, the movement technique doesn’t even require spiritual power."
"Alright, let’s start. I’ll give you a minute," Su Yuanyuan said with a smile.
"Mom, are you that confident? We’ve been practicing for a long time, and we use it all the time."
"You’ll know once you try. Let’s go. I’ll give you a minute."
The three children laughed and took off together.
Su Yuanyuan counted, and when she reached sixty, she moved too.
Tan Shaoting watched his wife’s movements, with a smile on his face. She practiced in the space every night, saying that if her martial strength was lacking, she needed to be good at escaping.
She’s also learning Shushan Sect’s swordsmanship now, and she’s making progress. She’s really a smart person who adapts quickly to new things.
He chased after them too. The family of five dashed along the mountain path, and anyone who saw them would surely be shocked. It was not at all a human speed.
Su Yuanyuan had already seen the kids’ backs and sped up again, soon keeping pace with them.
"Mom, you’re amazing. When did you practice?"
"Hehe, I practice every day. Alright, let’s wait for your dad."
The four of them stopped. Tan Shaoting arrived in less than a minute.
"Very impressive. I’ll be the slowest when we try to escape in the future."
The family all laughed. "Mom, should we hunt some game?" asked Qi Hong.
"If we encounter any, we’ll hunt. No need to go looking for it."
"Mom, tell us how you dealt with prey back then?"
"Me? Look, this is an electric baton. If we encounter large prey later, you can try it. It can take down prey in one second. I used this back then.
Besides, I’m short and thin, not strong. This electric baton is the most useful thing for me."
Qi Wen took it, and Su Yuanyuan taught them how to use it.
"Then I’ll go find a wild boar to try it on."
"I have several here, one for each of you, just to be prepared during missions." She had forgotten about this and wouldn’t have remembered if the kids hadn’t asked.
Qi Wen’s divine sense was also very strong. Soon her face lit up with a smile. "There it is, let’s go check it out and bring some extra meat to Great Aunt’s house."
The three siblings set off together, with Tan Shaoting holding Su Yuanyuan’s hand, following behind, not worried about their safety, just out of habit wanting to see them.
By the time the couple arrived, the two wild boars were already down.
"Mom, these things are really useful."
"Right? Now you each have one, which can be recharged." This really was a trick up the kids’ sleeve.
They took out three new electric batons from the space and instructed them on recharging. "Be sure to pay attention to the wires, the power output of these batons is too high, don’t overload the wires."
The three of them laughed and put them away. Qi Hong also took the wild boar away.
"Mom, should we eradicate the wolves on the mountain?"
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "We could, but there’s no need to be overly determined. Everything in the world has its reason for existence. If you encounter them, take care of them, but don’t actively seek them out."
The family of five continued their journey. Along the way, Su Yuanyuan recounted her past encounters.
"Mom, you sure have courage."
"Isn’t it because I can hide? So I was fearless. But you don’t follow my example."
The three kids just laughed. Since they’d returned, they used space quite a bit, but mostly just as a mobile warehouse.
"Haha, we really need to take action today. Mom, there’s a pack of wolves ahead."
"Let’s go, take care of them." Just ten wolves weren’t much for them. They each used the electric batons this time, wanting to get used to it.
The couple just stood by and watched, and in just five minutes, all ten wolves were dealt with.
"Mom, should we give this to Great Aunt’s family?"
"Better find a place and bury them. Giving them might cause panic."
"Alright, let’s bury them here." Tan Shaoting took a step forward, making intricate hand gestures, and soon the ten wolves were buried with nothing visible on the surface.
That took care of it. But in such a large mountain range, if there are wolves, there are bound to be more than just a few. They weren’t planning to seek out more, though.
"Okay, let’s head back. I haven’t been inside before, and it’s getting late. The Yang Family will surely worry about us."
The kids weren’t surprised by any of this, just accompanying their mom to reminisce.
The family started heading back, not in a hurry, chatting and laughing as they went.
Actually, Qi Yan and the others were quite curious about their mom’s past, but she always spoke so vaguely. They realized that she didn’t want to talk, perhaps because life was too hard back then.
As they neared the foot of the mountain, Su Yuanyuan saw Su Liangliang nervously looking around with a firewood knife in his hand. After listening to his thoughts, she knew he was worried about their family and plucked up the courage to come and find them.
Su Yuanyuan sighed, reluctant to have any contact with him. But this was a gesture of goodwill. Well, she now had some capabilities. Since he knew he was wrong, she’d help him this once, and after this, everything would truly be over.
