Leisure Time Was A Luxury

As Yun Che expected, many people in the Thunderbolt Squad were unwilling to leave the capital, not to mention joining a superfunction squad that was much smaller than theirs. Besides, the military had called on them to help enclose the land, and their future seemed to be promising. Luo Haitao and Ji Wenxi didn't want to force them. They welcomed anyone willing to follow them and left all the remaining materials to those who chose to stay.

In the end, they only got more than 400 followers, most of which were elites in their squad, and the rest were unmarried ones. They trusted the two of them enough to follow their path. Besides, half were ordinary people who didn't have superfunctions and also were the family members of the superfunction possessors.

Yun Che wasn't surprised. Instead, he turned to comfort Luo Haitao and Ji Wenxi, who were obviously depressed. Everyone had their paths to go, so it would be pointless if they forced them to follow. The Overrun Squad, however, was totally different. Even if there were people who refused to go, Yun Che still had made it to take two-thirds of people with him in the end. Obviously, Fei Ye had arranged that, otherwise, Yun Che wouldn't be able to attract so many people as an outsider.

"What's happening? Zeyu and the rest had made it to the next level?"

As soon as Yun Che took those from the Thunderbolt Squad and the Overrun Squad into space, he sensed the aura around him was moving abnormally. After three days in retreat, Zhou Zeyu and others seemed to be undergoing the breaking point.

"Yes, it's been a while, and it won't take long."

Gu Mingxuan came over and nodded. After they bonded the blood contract with Yun Che, most of them had reached the peak of the Golden Pill Stage, which meant they were one step away from the Nascent Soul Stage. Therefore, the rest of them didn't get out of the space but stayed there and worked hard for a breakthrough.

"Hahaha, Nascent Soul Stage, level 7! Finally, I made it!"

Perhaps his friend was eager to prove that he was right. A burst of laughter sounded out from a room, and it could easily tell from the voice that it was Meng Gang.

"Level 7? That's too much! Brother Che, please take care of our fellas. Luo and I are about to break through level 7 as well."

Ji Wenxi was anxious. They had bonded with Yun Che on that day as well and had a feeling that they were about to end level 7. But t the issues in the Thunderbolt Squad didn't leave them enough time to cultivate themselves. Now that they were no longer the capitals, they could ease their minds and start their journey to the next level.

"Not so fast. Your improvements don't require meditation, remember?"

Yun Che was amused, "Heiyu, take them to fight against the demon beasts, and remember, they won't need to appear again if they failed to reach the next level."

"I'm on it!"

Heiyu seemed to be very interested in the mission. He took them away without saying goodbye.

"Mingxuan, I'll have to bother you with their arrangements. All the superfunction possessors will be included in Peak or Chaoyang; those without superfunctions should be led to the family area, and tell She to arrange their works. As for the Overrun Squad, they can wait. Make sure they have a place to stay for the time being. I want Fei Ye to decide where they should go. If the houses are not enough, build more."

As Yun Che made such arrangements, he pointed at the people behind him. They were still in great shock.

"Okay, I know what to do."

Gu Mingxuan nodded and then walked toward the crowd, while Yun Che rushed to Yun Yao and Wang Suhua not far away. Taking his son from Yun Yao's arms, he kissed the boy on the cheek, "Bo, have you been a good boy and made it easy for Auntie Yao?"

"Ahhh!"

Xing Shibo sounded and then reached out his hands to grab his father's ears. Somehow, his boys had been favored to do that with his ears, and Yun Che had no choice but to allow them. After all, it would be useless to reason with them, otherwise, they would cry all the time. No matter how powerful and dominating Yun Che was in front of the outsiders, he had to give in all the time to give the boys all his love.

"Of course! They are the most lovely boys I've ever seen, unlike you and Cheng. You were so naughty at their age."

Yun Yao took Xing Shibo from Yun Che and rolled her eyes at him. Ever since her nephews were born, Yun Yao almost paid all her attention to them and even ignored Chenchen. Chenchen was a good boy. He wasn't jealous at all and even helped his mother take care of his cousins. If not, the relationship between him and Yun Yao would be hard to deal with.

"Yeah, sure, you got the best nephews in the world. Chenchen, come here."

Xing Feng, Mo Wenyang, and Tan Weiye were still busy with their businesses in the outside world, so they didn't come back to space. And since Ye Xingchen and others still needed more time to break through, Yun Che decided to stay here for a while.

"I'm coming."

Chenchen slid down the stool obediently and ran towards his uncle. He was quite talented in cultivation and had stabled in the Nascent Soul Stage, level 6. Therefore, he had spent most of his time with his cousins and slept them as well, accompanied by Heiyu. And that made it convenient for Yun Che and others to take care of them.

"Your love is for your nephews, while my love is for mine. Chenchen is the best in my eyes."

Grabbing Chenchen and letting him sit on his thighs, Yun Che leered at his sister like a child, which amused Yun Yao, Wang Suhua, and other elders.

"Haha, uncle, I love you the most."

Chenchen confessed to Yun Che immediately to respond. Their love was even stronger than that between father and son.

"Where is Capital Xing? I didn't see him."

Someone asked, wondering why the beloved couple separated.

"Senior Xing needs him for business. Weiye and Shaoyang were also asked to deal with the Coast Base thing. I'll get them in later."

Picking up a red fruit from the table, Yun Che took a bite. Leisure time was really a luxury for him.

"I've never been to the Coast Base before. Shall we get out of the space after going there?"

Wang Suhua was interested. The Southwest Base belonged to the inland area, so most people there had never seen the sea in their entire lives, including Wang Suhua. They mostly traveled to places of interest and rarely go to developed coastal cities.

"Sure, you can stay out there for a period if you want. The Coast Base might be dangerous, but the views are fine. However, we won't be there with you. Later, we'll retreat and try our best to get into our next level."

Seeing them in a great passion, Yun Che didn't tamp down their enthusiasm. They didn't have to practice to get stronger, and all they had to do was to be able to protect themselves.

"If that's the case, we should stay in the space with you guys. At least we can cook for you."

They shook their heads and denied the idea. The young generation had too much to worry about, so they felt it their responsibility to make things easier for them.

"Oh, please don't. What's wrong with the outside world? The food can wait. Besides, after we enter the Nascent Soul Stage, we won't have to eat food, not to mention we will be in retreat by then. Just live outside. Also, I have to remind you that we will have to get back here before the new year, which means you have one month at most. Guess we will have to celebrate the new year in the capital."

After finishing the fruit in a short time, Yun Che comforted them. As their power level and cultivation level improved, their metabolism became slower and slower and their bodies could still function without food. Yun Che himself had got used to the pattern of three meals a day, and he always felt hungry when it was mealtime. But if they were about to be in retreat, it wouldn't matter if they didn't eat.

"Uh!"

"Auntie Wang, I say we do it. Our staying here might disturb them."

When Wang Suhua and another two women were still hesitating, Yun Yao made the decision for them. They looked at each other and finally nodded in agreement. At this time, Senior Chen came over from nowhere, "Che, do you have a moment?"

"Yeah."

Looking back at the old man, Yun Che put Chenchen on the stool and went with Senior Chen to a stone table. As soon as they sat down, Senior Chen said directly, "Che, I can't leave behind the farmland in the Southwest Base. Is it possible if I go back there alone? Don't worry, I can take care of myself. You are still young and should spend your time making greater achievements. Just know that I will be there guarding our home."

Senior Chen had devoted all his life to the farmland in the Southwest Base, and that was all he had in mind. Although there were lands in the space, Yun Che and Heiyu could harvest with their minds, so Senior Chen had nothing to do there. Given his age, he wouldn't be able to become more powerful. Cultivation would only make him live longer. As for his level, he would be stronger if he was out there. Therefore, going outside was the best choice for him no matter what.

"Senior Chen, I understand your feelings, but I'll have to ask Haixuan for his opinion first. You know, you and Auntie are the only family he has."

Yun Che knew why he had such a requirement.

Although he had agreed that the outside world was more suitable for Senior Chen, he didn't give the promise right away. On the one hand, with nobody in Chaoyang Community, Senior Chen would be alone in there; on the other hand, Senior Chen was the Grandpa of Lu Haixuan, so he couldn't just make the decision for them.

"As long as you agree, I'll talk them through."

Senior Chen seemed to be determined, so Yun Che said, "Yeah, sure. If they agree with this, I'll send Haixuan to take you back. However, for the sake of your safety, don't live in Chaoyang Community alone. You can join Chen or Lei for the time being, and move back after we return to the Southwest Base."

"Okay."

Knowing that Yun Che was worrying about his safety, he didn't refuse. Seeing Lu Haixuan and others coming back from the retreat, he left Yun Che there, grabbed his long-stemmed pipe, and greeted his grandson for discussion.

"Why is Senior Chen so passionate?"

Ye Xingchen and others asked in confusion. Yun Che explained briefly. Chu Haoling then said "I'll check it out" before he left. Learning from the latter, he had learned to get along well with Senior Chen and Madam Lu.

"Don't you think Haoling is becoming more and more virtuous?"

Ye Xingchen joked as he looked at Chu Haoling's back.

"Tell me about it. Things were hard for Chu before. Even I felt sorry for him."

Meng Gang joked directly. Meng Xu also nodded with a smile, "Haixuan is likely to win. I say he's the most important person in Chu's heart."

"Haha, if Chu hears this, he will be pissed."

Yun Che added, and that amused all of them. Even if they were right about Chu Haoling, the latter wouldn't admit it because he was so stubborn. After all, he had never admitted he was a foodie as well.
