T/N: Thank you Clairificus for supporting an additional chapter of WMWG this week! 

Xie Yunnan stayed at the plantation until half past nine before leaving.

He usually drives a second-hand motorcycle that he assembled himself. It’s very easy to use, but is sometimes slow to start or won’t start, particularly when it’s cold.

Fortunately, it was summer and it started relatively fast. Xie Yunnan started the vehicle and looked at the children: “Let’s go!”

His car was loaded with some sweet potatoes dug up by these children, and he planned to go back slowly with these children.

It’d be terrible if these children were robbed at night!

Xie Yunnan walked forward with these children, not even noticing that there was a masked person hiding in the darkness, watching him the entire time.

He sent the children to the ghettos first.

The ghetto area looks messy enough during the day, not to mention at night where there are swaying drunks hanging about.

After dropping the children off, Xie Yunnan accelerated back to the town to drive home.

Upstairs, Duan Changqing immediately noticed that Xie Yunnan was back. Faintly aware of something, he looked into the distance.

But saw nothing.

Xie Yunnan changed clothes downstairs before going upstairs. As soon as he went upstairs, he saw Duan Changqing waiting at the entrance of the stairs.

“Where have you been?” Duan Changqing asked.

“I did something for a friend.” Xie Yunnan smiled.

Duan Changqing didn’t ask more. “It’s getting late, you should wash up and go to bed.”

Xie Yunnan was covered in dirt and grime, and went to dig sweet potatoes after work… he must be very tired after all that tossing.

In response, Xie Yunnan rushed into the bathroom.

After he finished washing up, as soon as he walked out of the bathroom door, a little chipmunk jumped hard and directly onto him.

“Xiaohua, you scared me!” After Xie Yunnan finished speaking, Xiaohua climbed up his bathrobe, climbed onto his shoulder, and then stood up and kissed his face.

Duan Changqing is really… bold and straightforward.

Well, it’s not just Duan Changqing, his Xiaobai is also like this…

“Where’s Xiaobai?” Duan Changqing asked.

Xie Yunnan let Xiaobai out, and sure enough, he saw Xiaobai rushing towards Duan Changqing. It got into Duan Changqing’s arms and didn’t move.

Xie Yunnan’s face turned a little hot.

After doing a lot of physical work at night, Xie Yunnan lay down and fell asleep. When Xie Yunnan fell asleep, Duan Changqing opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to hold Xie Yunnan’s hand, and transported spiritual power into Xie Yunnan’s body.

His physical condition recovered quickly, and just before, he used the spiritual power in his spiritual marrow to practice.

He couldn’t use the spiritual power emanating from the spiritual marrow directly. Messing around like the original owner would only mess up his body.

But the spiritual power he absorbs and cultivates will become his own power.

Duan Changqing checked Xie Yunnan’s body with his spiritual power.

Xie Yunnan’s physical condition was good, but he was a little tired. When his spiritual power circled in Xie Yunnan’s body, he took away all the fatigue.

With his mind focused on Xie Yunnan, Duan Changqing didn’t care about Xiaobai. Xiaobai hadn’t slept yet. After Duan Changqing stopped releasing spiritual power, it looked around blankly, and then climbed to Xie Yunnan’s side and lay down next to Xie Yunnan.

“Small unconscionable thing.” Duan Changqing muttered and hugged Xiaobai.

Although there is no spiritual power anymore, Xiaobai did not reject Duan Changqing. Feeling Duan Changqing’s arms, he nuzzled Duan Changqing and barked twice.

After kissing and giving it a little spiritual power, Xiaobai fell asleep.

This world lacks spiritual power, making it difficult for people to cultivate. He intends to take it step by step, nourishing Xiaobai’s body with spiritual power, and then teach Xie Yunnan to cultivate.

As for himself… Duan Changqing didn’t sleep, and cultivated all night.

The cultivation method he chose was the one he acquired in his previous life, an excellent body refining technique.

At that time, the exercises practiced by these devil soldiers were actually developed from this body refining technique.

And the reason why he chose this body refining technique… The original owner’s aptitude is actually very general, even if there is spiritual marrow in the body, the speed of cultivating orthodox exercises won’t be much faster.

But this body refining technique… As long as there is enough spiritual power, the training speed will be very fast. Although the process is a little painful.

In his previous life, he was forced to practice the quick success adaptation of this technique, which didn’t require much spiritual power. Of course, there was a price.

In contrast, the pain of tempering his body with spiritual power now was like a drizzle, and not even worth mentioning.

Duan Changqing lay on the bed and cultivated all night.

Generally, novice practitioners need to use a fixed posture. Sitdown meditation is the best posture, but with his experience and divine consciousness, he can practice anytime, anywhere.

Xie Yunnan got up early in the morning and saw Xiaobai and Duan Changqing still sleeping.

He smiled and was about to wake Duan Changqing when he suddenly noticed that Duan Changqing had sweat in his sleep and the sheets under him were soaking wet.

Is this sweat? Duan Changqing’s body looks very weak…

Duan Changqing, who had been practicing for a night, opened his eyes and looked at Xie Yunnan’s concerned eyes.

“Are you feeling okay? Go to sleep a little longer, I’ll make breakfast.” Xie Yunnan said.

After cultivating all night, Duan Changqing, who was full of strength all over his body: “…” His condition is better than ever, but he’s a little cold…

Wait a minute!

Duan Changqing looked at the mattress, and then saw the water stains on the bed.

It was very painful when he practiced last night, and he sweated a lot.

“Don’t worry, your body will definitely get better.” Xie Yunnan comforted.

Duan Changqing said, “I’m much better already.”

“Yes, you’re much better already.” Xie Yunnan soothed.

Duan Changqing: “…”

Duan Changqing looked at his thin arm and took a deep breath.

This body refinement method requires a lot of spiritual power when cultivating, and the process is a bit painful, but the speed is very fast.

Soon, he will be stronger!

At that time, he will definitely let Xie Yunnan know that he is not wrong!

Duan Changqing said: “You go to rest, I’ll make breakfast.”

“I’ll just eat whatever for breakfast. You can go take a bath.” Despite turning the ground for a long time yesterday, his arms weren’t sore and he was actually refreshed after waking up.

He really needs to take a bath… After washing off, when Duan Changqing came out, he saw that Xie Yunnan had already cooked two big bowls of noodles.

“Eat noodles in the morning. I also cooked some sweet potatoes. You can go and eat them later when you are hungry.”

“Okay.” Duan Changqing smiled.

After Xie Yunnan went downstairs to work, Duan Changqing applied makeup, and then went to scrub the mat, and wash the clothes and blankets.

He would have been worn out with these chores a few days, but after cultivating last night, his condition has improved a lot.

After finishing the housework, he went to the town to buy vegetables and prepare to cook.

Technology has developed in this world, but everyone doesn’t pay much attention to technology, and more emphasis on personal strength… Of course, this is something that can’t be helped. In a world with spiritual power, there will be many people whose personal strength far exceeds ordinary people.

Moreover, the existence of spiritual power also has a blocking effect on various signals. Things like mobile phones cannot be used outside the city limits. TVs and other things also have to be wired.

Duan Changqing slowly adapted to this world.

Xie Yunnan didn’t go to the sweet potato plantation during the day, but at night, he went out again to the sweet potato harvesting place.

The sweet potatoes in the plantation have almost been dug up, and now there are only some children left, still rummaging in the fields for sweet potato roots.

These sweet potato roots can be taken home directly.

Today, a different person watched at the door. It was a beautiful woman sitting there holding her chin. When she saw Xie Yunnan, she immediately sat up straight and looked at Xie Yunnan curiously.

Xie Yunnan was a little uncomfortable being stared at, and wondered if something was wrong with him.

But there should be no problem with his clothes?

Xie Yunnan was puzzled when he heard her say: “Are you here to dig sweet potatoes? The sweet potatoes here have been dug up.”

“No, I’m not here to dig sweet potatoes, I just wanted to ask if I can buy some sweet potatoes.”

“Of course, how much do you want to buy?”

“Can I buy 20,000 worth of sweet potatoes?” Xie Yunnan asked.

“Why are you buying so many sweet potatoes?” The woman was bewildered.

“The price of food has gone up…”

“Are you trying to hoard and resell it later?”

“No, I’m afraid that if the price of food continues to rise like this, there will be a shortage of food, so I’m just making some preparations.” Xie Yunnan said.

He had no plans to resell it. At the current price, 20,000 yuan can’t buy that many sweet potatoes either.

He just wanted to store some sweet potatoes and consume them slowly.

They can be used to fend off starvation.

“I’m just an employee. If you want to buy sweet potatoes, I can’t make a decision… I’ll ask for you.” After the woman finished speaking, she ran inside.

Plantation staff quarters.

“Boss! The man you fancy is coming to buy sweet potatoes.” The woman said as soon as she entered.

After her eldest brother suddenly became interested in that person last night, he did something that shocked them all today.

Their boss asked them to investigate the man named Xie Yunnan!

Where has their boss done this kind of thing before? He really cares about this Xie Yunnan!

The man in the mask raised his head: “He wants to buy sweet potatoes?”

“Yes.” The woman repeated the matter.

“You can just sell it to him.” Ghost King said.

“Then I’ll sell it!”

“Wait.” He stopped people again.

“Boss?” The woman was curious.

“What kind of person do you think he is?”

“He is very kind. Those children like him. Buying so many sweet potatoes, if he doesn’t plan to sell them, he may want to use them to help others.”

“I see.”

When the woman left, he continued to look at the information in front of him.

The date is correct.

Unexpectedly…

He couldn’t control his expression.

More than 20 years ago, he lost a child, his only child.

He always thought that the child was dead, but now it seems that his child is actually alive.

Although he has never verified it, he always feels that it is his child and there is nothing wrong with it.

His identity is very dangerous. He can’t let others know that Xie Yunnan is his child, so he can only approach him in a different identity.

Since his son is kind-hearted, why doesn’t he pretend to be hurt and let him save him? This way he can give him some benefits under the pretext of repaying his gratitude.

The Ghost King’s identity is revealed (for sure this time).
