Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 440 - 414: Wish Fulfilled

"Tonight I’ll stay at home again, continue consuming demigod flesh and blood for training. In just one night, I should be able to improve a lot of attribute points," Chen Shouyi decided in his heart not to sleep in the air-raid shelter tonight.

The air-raid shelter is near his villa, so even if something happens, he can rush there in time. Besides, his sister is there, and with her almost martial artist level strength, ordinary barbarians are no match for her.

Chen Shouyi gently exhaled a breath.

Recalling the dangerous scene from last night!

Facing the God of Hunting, he felt like a rat in the gutter, only able to flee for his life, his heart filled with despair.

This was the closest he’s ever been to death in his life!

And the most desperate time.

He clenched his fists tightly, the sound of skin rubbing against skin making a creaking noise.

Experiences like this one were enough; he never wanted to encounter them again.

By the time he slowly walked back to the safe zone, nightfall had already begun.

A crescent moon hung quietly on the black sky, casting cold moonlight like a thin veil.

At this moment, he slapped his forehead.

He almost forgot to inform Bai Xiaoling that he wasn’t leaving.

Luckily, he had heard her address once before.

Chen Shouyi immediately turned around and walked back.

After ten minutes, Chen Shouyi looked at the house number: "It should be here."

He stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Soon, footsteps approached, and a middle-aged woman’s voice asked cautiously, "Who is it?"

"Auntie, hello, I’m Bai Sister’s colleague, here to see her for something!" Chen Shouyi said.

Soon, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman glanced up and down at Chen Shouyi through the door gap. The cautious expression on her face immediately turned to enthusiasm, and she quickly said with a smile, "Come in, come in, no need to change shoes!"

"Thank you for having me!" Chen Shouyi said politely, walked in, and noticed that the living room was littered with clutter, obviously organizing luggage. He glanced around and then looked back: "Where’s Bai Sister?"

"She’s in the bedroom picking out clothes, never mind her, she’ll be out in a moment. What’s your name, young man?" Mrs. Bai asked with a full smile.

"Chen Shouyi!" Chen Shouyi quickly replied as he sat down.

"I think my daughter mentioned you!" Mrs. Bai said, "Have you found a partner yet?"

"Uh, not yet!" Chen Shouyi replied honestly.

Mrs. Bai was immediately more pleased: "How many people are in your family, do you have any siblings, and what do your parents do?"

"A family of four, I have a sister, and my family runs a restaurant!" Chen Shouyi felt overwhelmed, as if it was a census survey. He stood up and said, "Auntie, can you call Bai Sister out? I have something to discuss with her!"

"It’s rare for you to come by, have a chat with me. Are you coming with us this time?" Mrs. Bai asked.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoling seemed to have heard the commotion and finally came out.

She was wearing a beige cashmere sweater with sleeves rolled up, exposing half of her snow-white arms. Her head was sweating profusely, her hair sticking together. When she saw Chen Shouyi, she quickly said, "General Manager Chen, what brings you here!"

"I just came to tell you that the situation in the safe zone is now generally safe, so I’m not leaving tonight," Chen Shouyi said.

"Ah, not leaving?"

"It won’t be long before the army enters the city; leaving now would be more dangerous on the way!" After Chen Shouyi finished speaking, he got up to bid farewell: "Auntie, Bai Sister, I’ll take my leave first."

"I’ll see you off!" Bai Xiaoling quickly said.

"No need, no need!"

Once Bai Xiaoling came back from the door and closed it, Mrs. Bai, who was dumbfounded, finally came to her senses and opened her mouth: "So this is the General Manager Chen you mentioned, he doesn’t look it at all, seems quite shy."

"Mom, what did you talk to him about?" Bai Xiaoling couldn’t help but ask.

"Nothing much!" Mrs. Bai said.

Bai Xiaoling’s mom’s gaze dodged slightly, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart. She quickly asked, "Mom, what exactly did you say?"

"Just casual chat, asking about his family, whether he has a partner, stuff like that," Mrs. Bai said awkwardly.

Bai Xiaoling’s face flushed red upon hearing this, she stomped her feet in shame and anger: "Mom, how could you ask such things?"

"What’s wrong with that? You’re just shy, no wonder you’re already 25 and still don’t have a boyfriend. If you’re not worried, I am," Mrs. Bai said earnestly, "So what if he’s a martial artist, my daughter is so beautiful, she’s more than enough for anyone!"

"But he’s only eighteen!" Bai Xiaoling exclaimed in frustration.

...

Chen Shouyi walked to the air-raid shelter entrance, stomped his feet to shake off the muddy snow, entered the room, told his parents he was leaving, and then left with his briefcase.

Once he returned to his bedroom at home.

He lit a long-unused gasoline lamp placed in the cabinet.

He unzipped the briefcase and said to the shell lady who hesitated to come out, "Alright, you can come out!"

"Good Giant, are there no more bad giants?" the shell lady asked nervously in a low voice.

"None left!"

The shell lady immediately jumped onto the bed and then jumped from the bed to the ground. Having been cooped up in the briefcase these past few days, constantly worried, she was already restless.

Now that she was let out, she acted like a husky off the leash, running wildly around the room, heedless of Chen Shouyi’s calls to stop, leaving him exasperated.

Eventually, he simply stopped paying attention to the little maniac having a mood swing.

He went down to the kitchen and boiled a large pot of water.

Practicing the thirty-six styles of horizontal training is an intense exercise, entirely warranting the phrase "sweating like rain." During the day, he nearly dehydrated himself.

After boiling the water, he carried five hot water bottles back to the room and found the shell lady pretending to be holding a napkin, wiping dust off the floor. Her princess dress was as dirty as a rag, with hair full of cobwebs and a face smudged like a little cat.

Seeing Chen Shouyi enter, the shell lady immediately tried to please him: "Good Giant, see how good little one is?"

Good?

Yeah, right!

Little drama queen!

Chen Shouyi said with a touch of annoyance, "Take off your clothes, I’ll give you a bath."

"Oh!"

The shell lady obediently responded, tossing away the napkin and quickly undressing completely.

Chen Shouyi glanced at the dusty floor, his brows furrowing slightly.

With a wave of his hand and concentrated will, the dust on the floor, the desk, and bed, all floated up, coalescing into a ball the size of a soccer, which then flew into the trash can.

The room instantly became spotless, gleaming like new.

Chen Shouyi noticed keenly that since his will improved by 0.3 points last night, his telekinesis had become significantly more powerful.

He had managed this before, but never this cleanly.

The floor was immaculate, cleaner than after mopping, and even the stubborn stains in the floor crevices were completely gone.

He didn’t control anything intentionally.

There was so much dust and garbage, even if he tried to control it, he couldn’t manage everything.

It was just a simple thought, but everything happened naturally.

It was like...

Wishing made it so!

Suddenly moved in his heart, he reached out a hand, and the little skirt of the shell lady on the floor quickly flew into his hand.

Looking at the dirty little skirt.

With a thought,

The skirt trembled almost imperceptibly.

Countless dust and stains attached to the skirt burst into the air.

The skirt instantly became squeaky clean.
