A rare magical miracle in the world - Chapter 95
Chapter 95: Chapter 68 Exponential Explosion (Seeking Recommendations)
“Hmm?”
From a distance, Bailuo saw two figures sitting cross-legged under an ancient tree, none other than Inya and Bai Yino.
“What are you two doing?”
The two girls, one older and one younger, were sitting in meditation under the tree as if they were cultivating immortality.
Inya: “It’s coursework dad gave us, to comprehend nature.”
Bai Yino nodded: “Mhm, mhm, mhm.”
“Gurgle, gurgle.”
That was the sound of a stomach rumbling, coming from Inya.
“Tell the truth!”
“I wasn’t paying attention in class, so dad punished me,” Inya said, “He won’t let me have lunch.”
“What does that have to do with meditating?”
“By lowering bodily functions to the minimum, we can reduce energy consumption,” Inya thought she was quite the clever sprite, “You said it, brother.”
Bai Yino nodded vigorously: “Yeah, yeah, yeah!”
Bailuo was speechless. He reached into his pocket and then poured out a generous amount of fruit: “I think you knew I was coming back, all prepared to trick me into giving yousomethingtoeat.”
“You’re the best, bro!!”
Inya snatched the fruit Bailuo offered, shared half with Bai Yino, and then shouted, “Ula!!”
Bai Yino raised both hands: “Ula!!”
“Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, pitter-patter.”
The fruit spilled all over the ground, and Bai Yino squatted down to pick them up.
But as she picked, one from her arms would fall, and as she went to pick that up, more would keep dropping.
Bailuo:” ”
During this time, Bai Yino had been following Inya closely, and their relationship grew increasingly intimate, almost like real sisters.
Inya was the youngest in the Bai Luo Family, always the one being cared for. Now that she had Bai Yino, Inya immediately showed off her elder sister’s style. Though still immature, she tried very hard to act like a mature sister, taking good care of Bai Yino.
Bai Yino could feel the warmth and the coldness of human relationships, the simplicity of Inya. The longer they were together, the closer Bai Yino felt to her. “What kind of catchphrase is that, let’s change it.”
“Aww-—”
Inya didn’t bother with that, she quickly called Bai Yino, “Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai, steamed bun, steamed bun.”
“Steamed bun.”
Bai Yino took out a steamed bun and offered it to Bailuo, who looked at the bun in his hand, puzzled: “Weren’t you punished by uncle and not allowed to have lunch? What’s with this bun?”
“The one who was punished with no lunch is just me.”
Eating fruit, Inya smiled: “Xiao Bai is here to keep me company.”
Uncle cherished Bai Yino too much to let her go hungry, but Inya, who always daydreamed during class, didn’t do her homework, and was lazy even when punished with copying, could endure a meal skipped without dying.
Of course, uncle was still indulgent with Inya, leaving plenty of loopholes.
“Then why give me the bun?”
“That wasn’t for you, brother.”
Inya took the steamed bun from Bailuo’s hand: “It’s for me.”
“Before dad left, he made a rule that Xiao Bai is not allowed to bring me food, not even if I find it after she throws it away.”
But there are tactics to counteract policies, and uncle didn’t say Bailuo couldn’t bring food for Inya!
“You sure got smart here.”
Bailuo touched Inya’s head resignedly, but the girl clearly didn’t want to lose face in front of her younger sister: “Brother, I’ve grown up, don’t touch my head anymore.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Bailuo drew his hand back, but looking at Inya’s eyes, it was clear she was reluctant to let go.
Her thoughts were obvious, when there was nobody else, he could touch her head freely.
Privately, Bailuo could touch it as long as he wanted.
“Hehe.”
Looking at Bai Yino again, she was always a bit slow, and now that she followed Inya, she became even more innocently daft.
However, Bailuo could feel the girl was happy.
Playing with Inya helped her integrate into the people of Yatun quickly.
This was a good thing; uncle must have known this too, which is why he let
Inya accompany her with peace of mind.
“Uncle?”
Soon after, the uncle returned.
Inya quickly sat down cross-legged, and upon seeing this, Bai Yino did the same.
“Xiao Luo is here?”
Uncle glanced at the two girls, well aware that Inya had eaten her fill, “Alright, go and play, I have some things to discuss with Xiao Luo.”
“Breaktime! Ula!!”
“Ula!!”
Bai Yino didn’t understand what Inya was so excited about, but she knew she couldn’t go wrong joining in.
“Let’s go, let’s go, I’ll treat you to something even tastier than steamed buns today.”
“Steamed buns, the tastiest.”
“What about steamed bread then?”
II II
Bai Yino also loved steamed bread, but the title of tastiest couldn’t go to both fish and bear’s paws. Stumped by Inya’s question, Bai Yino fell silent.
“Tomorrow.”
Bai Yino said to Inya, “Tomorrow steamed bread will be the tastiest!”
“And the day after tomorrow?”
“Pancakes.”
“What about the day after that?”
“Wontons.”
“Hahaha, stop eating just those things, I’ll take you to try something new, come on, let’s go…”
Their voices faded into the distance as Bailuo watched them leave, as if looking at two little sisters.
“I’m relieved as long as they get along so well,
I just fear Inya might lead Xiao Bai astray.”
The People of Yatun already have one big fool, adding Bai Yino, would that make them two fools of Yatun?
Afterward, Bailuo and Uncle walked deeper into the forest, chatting about their studies on Bai Yino these past days.
“After days of research, I’ve finally achieved some results.”
“How so?”
“Quite peculiar.”
Uncle explained, “Regarding her situation, I consulted with Brother Andrew and reviewed the ancient texts remaining from Yatun. Finally, I found a typical case.”
“What case?”
“The God of War of Yatun who fell hundreds of years ago.”
Uncle elaborated, “Xiao Bai’s situation is very similar to that of the God of War of Yatun. At first, the God of War was no different from a Mortal. But as he continued to train, learn, and battle, he became increasingly powerful.” “So Xiao Bai is a Miracle Creature that can grow?”
Bai Yino is a person, and technically shouldn’t be referred to as a ‘creature,’ but Bailuo meant no offense.
“Right, she can grow.”
Uncle said, “Her learning Ability is strong, and her entire being is especially ethereal.”
Yes, ethereal.
It was as if she was free of any miscellaneous thoughts—a blank slate.
Whatever boxing techniques or martial arts Uncle taught, she could learn quickly.
The only issue was her physical condition.
Bai Yino was only 12 years old, and due to little exercise and years of malnutrition, she couldn’t yet display her full strength.
“Compared to our Yatun people, how does she fare?”
“Currently, there is quite a significant gap between her and the Yatun people.” Uncle remarked, “But, Xiao Luo, do you remember the mathematical formula you once told me about? The one where the initial changes are minor, but as it goes on, it becomes terrifying.”
“Exponential growth?”
“Right, right, that’s it.”
Uncle said, “Xiao Bai’s situation is somewhat similar to that, her progress may start off slow, but as time goes on, she will become stronger and stronger.” “But that requires time?”
“Avery long time!”
Uncle affirmed Bailuo’s words and added, “It might take decades, or perhaps even longer, but one day, she will become the new God of War for our Yatun.” Uncle held a very high opinion of Bai Yino, incredibly high.
The problem was, Bai Yino’s growth was overly complex and challenging.
While she would become formidable in the future, they clearly didn’t have the luxury of time now.
