Chapter 379: Chapter 379: A Happy Breakfast_1
“You’re taking it too seriously, no need for that.”
Xu Fan hadn’t thought much in the heat of the moment; he simply treated Elder Sun as a friend.
After pondering for a few breaths, he said, “How about this, I’ll exchange a law formula for this jade slip. The formula is very versatile; anyone can cultivate it from the Body Tempering Realm, and I believe it will be of great use to you.”
Sun Lihua smiled helplessly and replied, “Since Elder Xu insists, it would be disrespectful to refuse.”
Then.
Sun Jin’an smiled and expressed his thanks.
Chang Muxin also conveyed his gratitude for the lifesaving grace.
Xu Fan took the jade slip and thought if Cui Dong decided to acknowledge him as his master, then he would pass on the Thunder Mastery Technique to him.
After all, Cui Dong was of the Tai Xuan Jiuxiao Body, which was highly compatible with thunder-type Spiritual Energy, making it perfect for him to use.
Originally, he had planned to search his memory for another cultivation method that would be more suitable for Cui Dong, but the Thunder Mastery Technique seemed more appropriate, so he decided to keep it in his pocket first.
Even though Cui Dong hadn’t made up his mind yet, Xu Fan was certain he couldn’t resist the enormous temptation to become a cultivator.
In addition, he faintly sensed a karmic connection between himself and Cui Dong; while the nature of karma was unclear to anyone, Xu Fan’s intuition was always very accurate.
The four of them entered the estate’s main hall, took their seats separately, and Xu Fan used his Spiritual Energy to force out the Gu insects that had fallen dormant within Sun Jin’an and Chang Muxin using the bloodletting method, and then burned them to ashes.
Seeing that the two were still not in great shape, knowing that the Gu poison had greatly harmed their bodies, he decided to go all out in being the good guy and wrote a prescription for nurturing vitality specifically to replenish their bodily energy.
The cultivation technique he compensated them with was also transcribed on the spot, a familiar one called the Huangting Neiyun Scripture.
This technique was gentle in nature, requiring no specific physique; as long as one developed Inner Strength and reached the Body Tempering Realm, it could be cultivated, greatly benefiting the body.
…
Half an hour later, Xu Fan floated away, driving his Audi A7 and enjoying the cool breeze, leisurely heading home.
Although rescuing Elder Sun this time was about saving a life, Xu Fan also gained a lot; he not only tested the power of the Destruction Thunder Dragon but also acquired the Thunder Mastery Technique, and his relationship with the Sun Family progressed tremendously.
Being the premier family of Zhonghai, with extensive connections and wealth, and secretly controlling the Qingyun Sect, the Sun Family was sure to take care of whatever Xu Fan would like to do in the future without a second word.
Tip-toeing back to the living room, Xu Fan continued to cultivate in meditation on the couch and upon opening his eyes, it was just the right time to make breakfast.
This time, he made a simple yet delicious breakfast dish commonly made by families in The North, known as ‘Geda Soup’, mainly using tomatoes and flour, with a small amount of green onion.
Of course, Xu Fan also added other ingredients to enhance the flavor and upscale the dish, such as carrots, egg liquid, cilantro cuts, shiitake mushrooms, etc.
“Wow, what did you make? It smells so good.”
Ye Xiaoning was lured awake by the aroma, climbed out of bed groggily, and followed her nose into the kitchen. Seeing Xu Fan sporting an apron and looking every bit the domestic husband, she couldn’t help but chuckle.
But her attention was easily drawn away by the delicious smell coming from the pot. Looking at the somewhat sticky noodle soup, she asked, “Brother-in-law, what is this dish? It smells amazing.”
Xu Fan smiled and said, “It’s a northern family dish called Geda Soup. I’m trying to make it for the first time.”
“Hmm, it looks great. I definitely have to taste it properly,” Ye Xiaoning said, then hummed a cheerful tune and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Not long after, Xu Yixue and Chen Shiyu, two beautiful women fond of sleeping in, got out of bed one after the other just as Xu Fan finished making breakfast and then went to take care of Tongtong.
The little princess, oblivious to her sleeping appearance, sprawled out in a starfish pose on the soft bedding, her little bottom sticking up high… With her delicate, porcelain-like charm and endearingly clumsy appearance, gently trembling eyelashes made her all the more adorable to behold.
Xu Fan gently picked her up. Children need plenty of sleep, but they also shouldn’t oversleep, so he gently woke her up.

Tongtong hummed a few times before slowly opening her delicate eyelids. When she saw her dad holding her with a smile, she was instantly overjoyed. She hooked her arms around Xu Fan’s neck and kissed his cheek several times, giggling, “Daddy, Tongtong really likes you, you’re the best daddy in the whole world.”
“Haha… Little girl, you sure know how to sweet-talk.”
Xu Fan was amused, and while wiping the sleep from her eyes, he laughed, “Tongtong, Daddy’s going to take you for breakfast, made especially for you, and it’s very delicious.”
“Hehe… Tongtong really wants to eat,” Tongtong cheered with joy.
“Then Daddy will take Tongtong to brush her teeth and wash her face first.”
“Okay.”
After cleaning Tongtong up, Xu Fan sat down with her in his lap, and the two beautiful women were already sitting down waiting.
“Mommy, hug.”
When Tongtong saw Xu Yixue, she reached out her arms, saying in a baby voice.
Xu Yixue’s lips had been curled in a slight smile all along, and seeing that Tongtong wanted a hug, she couldn’t help but smile radiantly, stood up, and took Tongtong from Xu Fan’s arms.
Tongtong, the little mischief-maker, gently sniffed Xu Yixue’s scent, her expression one of enchantment.
Seeing this, Chen Shiyu couldn’t help but laugh and gently tickled her little nose with a finger.
Tongtong, unable to continue sniffing Xu Yixue’s scent, reached out and grabbed Chen Shiyu’s hand.
Seizing the moment, Chen Shiyu snatched her up into her own arms, and then, with her heart all but melted, kissed Tongtong with her bright red lips, leaving a vivid lipstick mark on her face.
Xu Fan watched this, feeling quite helpless.
If there was anyone to blame, it was just that Tongtong was too adorable, effortlessly charming everyone regardless of age or gender, as if there was no one she couldn’t win over.
“Tongtong, it’s time to eat.”
Ye Xiaoning then came out from the kitchen with a bowl in each hand, and with the two bowls that had been served earlier, there were exactly four.
“Xu Fan, what is this? It looks like a hodgepodge,” Chen Shiyu said dubiously, looking at the steaming bowl of flour soup.
“Hehe, this is called ‘lump soup,’ a common household dish in The North. It looks like Brother-in-law has made it quite tasty, I’m going to start eating now,” Ye Xiaoning said, unable to wait any longer as she filled her spoon, blew on it to cool it down a bit, and put it in her mouth; it was immediately delicious. She praised as she ate, “I have no idea how Brother-in-law developed such culinary skills, it tastes even better than what I’ve had in restaurants, so lucky.”
She blew on and ate her food, gradually slipping into a frenzy, eating faster and with more enjoyment on her face.
“Really? Let me try.”
Chen Shiyu, seeing Ye Xiaoning’s manners gradually slipping away, frowned sceptically, not quite believing the dish could be that appetizing.
She took a spoonful and ate it, and then her beautiful eyes widened with surprise. She thought to herself, the dish didn’t look particularly appealing, not something to excite the appetite, yet it was fragrant and savory, full of flavor, prompting a hearty appetite and luring one to eat more.
Xu Fan and Xu Yixue exchanged a glance, each seeing the mirth in the other’s eyes, and they too started to eat.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
A simple breakfast became a satisfying feast full of laughter and joy for the five of them.
In the midst of it all… Xu Fan felt a long-lost sense of happiness.
Afterwards, the three women left for work together, with Xu Dan and Ben Ben following behind in a car for their protection.
As for Xu Fan, he began another day of his happy and contented life as a stay-at-home dad.
Time to head out, let’s go!
