Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack-Chapter 1116 - 1096: Floating-Sinking Chessboard

In the end, under the persuasion of Big Black and Xiao Hei and the surrender of the two Silver Wolf parents, Luo Shufan adopted the weakest wolf cub. Since it was a male wolf, he named it ’Xiao Tian,’ a name reflecting his hopes for it.

Meanwhile, Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi returned to the water’s edge, gazing at the red strings in the water.

"Floating-Sinking Chessboard, who controls the rise and fall. Next comes the second stage, placing a move on the red string, without dropping or deviating. You can practice with the first set of pieces."

Hearing Big Black’s words, Luo Qianqian could only think of one phrase, an urge to cry but no tears.

The weight of these chess pieces was undoubtedly heavier than large stones or small pieces of metal, yet they had to be placed on the slender red string? Was this a joke?

Starting with the black pieces, as Luo Qianqian made the first move, her face was marked with effort, a faint perspiration appearing on her forehead.

Despite the prominent water attribute pattern, Luo Qianqian still failed, trying to keep the piece suspended on the red string while multitasking to control other pieces.

Tang Tianyi barely flicked a piece onto the red string, but it was unstable and fell off from one corner.

Both of their first attempts ended in failure.

When Luo Shufan returned to the wooden house, the sun was almost directly overhead. He considered for a moment, then cradled the little wolf cub carefully, took a few turns, and headed for the kitchen.

The kitchen was now under Yue Tingyu’s management. Apart from needing some help from Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi with the ingredients, everything else was run by her.

To this group of people, this place was paradise, as it was where they could satisfy their culinary cravings.

Not only did this place have a variety of ingredients, but it also had vacuum-sealed food and drinks. However, only Luo Shufan and Qin Nuan were allowed to come and go freely.

Luo Qianqian was a troublemaker by nature, so she was not allowed, and the other people either ate too much or made a mess.

As for Tang Tianyi? He was too busy to come. Their meals were always specially delivered by Luo Shufan.

Tiptoeing, Luo Shufan entered the wooden house, found a box of milk on the wooden shelf, picked up a carton, and was about to leave.

"Shufan? What are you doing with that?" A slightly puzzled voice sounded from the door, followed by a brisk figure stepping inside.

Luo Shufan quickly placed the milk down, holding the little cub in his arms with both hands, and said, "Grandma, what brings you here?"

The newcomer was Yue Tingyu. She held a wine glass, looking somewhat helpless: "Pouring your grandpa a drink. Since his health improved, his craving for wine returned."

"What is that?"

Seeing the little creature in Luo Shufan’s arms, Yue Tingyu was initially startled, but then her expression softened: "It’s good to have a little thing to keep you company."

Yue Tingyu glanced at her grandson, a slight sigh in her heart, tenderness evident in her eyes, "There are canned meat and sausages; take what you need yourself."

Luo Shufan’s lips trembled, overwhelmed with gratitude, lowered his head, full of seriousness: "Thank you, Grandma."

Not only for treating him well now, but also for all the treatment Luo Qianqian received during his absence, something even the four older cousins didn’t have.

"You’re my grandson, no need to thank me. Just be careful. When I raised Baozi, dogs usually relieve themselves everywhere at first. Teach it, and it will learn." Yue Tingyu’s expression was gentle, patting the little head in Luo Shufan’s arms, "Did Qianqian find this for you?"

Luo Shufan paused, realizing his grandmother misunderstood, and quickly shook his head: "It’s a child of the Silver Wolves in the forest. It looked weak, so I brought it back to raise."

Yue Tingyu was shocked, "A wolf?"

"Yes." Luo Shufan’s voice carried excitement. Except for the Country of Tycoons, no one seemed to raise such creatures, right?

Moreover, the parents of this little creature were not the kind seen in zoos; they were incredibly majestic, something that inspired awe.

Yue Tingyu’s lips twitched slightly before she said, "Just be careful. They say, wolves have white eyes..."

Luo Shufan nodded in agreement, although he still appeared young, he was indeed an adult. How could he not understand such a basic truth?

One can never be too careful.

Carrying a case of milk and the meat that Yue Tingyu insisted on giving him, Luo Shufan left the wooden house.

"Thud..."

By the water’s edge, Luo Qianqian’s palm collided with Xiao Hei’s turtle shell, making her grimace.

As she swung her palm out, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, the wind bringing no coolness. Her cultivation technique was operating to its fullest, releasing completely.

Even without the aid of spiritual power, Xiao Hei’s turtle shell was an excellent defensive Divine Artifact—how could Luo Qianqian shake it?

Luo Qianqian looked at her red palm, a bitter smile on her face: "Isn’t this just bullying? When will I be able to beat him? That turtle shell is so thick, Zhao Nuannuan, come roast him!"

"Going head-to-head, you’ll definitely lose, but..." Big Black shook his head, disagreeing with Luo Qianqian’s words. Not to mention Qin Nuan, even Feng Xi would make little difference. Quantity changes bring about quality changes, and their disparity wasn’t something that could be bridged by minor improvements. Facing off against Phoenix Fire? Phoenix Fire, extinct. Big Black’s face was full of mystery.

Tang Tianyi stood to one side, a flicker of brilliance in his eyes, a smug smile on his face, but a moment later he frowned slightly and gently shook his head.

Moments later, he burst into laughter, "Qianqian, it’s Dark Energy."

Big Black gave him an appreciative glance, nodding, "You’re right, Dark Energy."

"Brother, you don’t have to break it down like that, do you?" Xiao Hei was full of discontent.

Big Black was unfazed, replying coolly, "What’s your strength compared to theirs?"

Xiao Hei was left speechless. As a Holy Beast, its cultivation level was anything but ordinary.

Holy beasts are unique in the entire world.

Reaching their level, the gap in cultivation levels couldn’t be bridged.

The oppression of the bloodline, the suppression of souls, overwhelming power; countless factors made it impossible for them to return to their original states and compete with these people.

The Four Symbols Sacred Beasts, if they were so commonplace, how could they stand above other life forms?

"Dark Energy? Isn’t that for Body Cultivation?" Luo Qianqian blinked, full of confusion.

The path of cultivation naturally divided into Body Cultivation and Spirit Cultivation.

Spirit Cultivation was the prevailing trend; without complex trials, one could cultivate as long as they had talent.

Body Cultivators, mostly those without talent, could achieve something if they dared to endure hardships.

All roads lead to Rome, and the path to the top wouldn’t stay the same.

However, achieving a level of Body Cultivation that people look up to was incredibly difficult, so difficult it was one in a million.
