When Bai Xiqin and the others returned with their suitcase, their parents, who went out to gather supplies, also came back.
The suitcase was pulled into the bus, and Bai Xiqin directly stored it in the space.
Bai Anhai lay motionless on the sofa.
"Was the mission tiring?" Bai Xiqin asked.
Supply collection missions at the base happen almost daily, always requiring manpower.
"Tiring!" Bai Anhai waved weakly.
The familyâs physical stamina was decent, but they relied on their superpowers all the way. Collecting supplies meant carrying them, and on the way back, the truck was loaded with supplies, while people had to run along behind.
Itâs indeed quite tiring.
"Sis, what do you want to eat? How about fish-flavored shredded pork?"
Bai Yifan busily worked in the kitchen, the aroma of the dishes filling the bus.
Bai Yifan wore a big smile, not looking tired at all.
"Yes!" Bai Xiqin smiled.
As long as itâs meat, thereâs nothing she wonât eat.
"Sweetie, your grandma and I stopped by the clothing store on the way and found some outfits for you to try on later."
Wang Yiyun grinned widely, rummaging through a large bag.
The big bag was filled with pastel-colored clothes, weighing roughly dozens of pounds, packed full.
Bai Xiqin silently glanced at the heavy clothes, finally understanding why her dad was the most exhausted when they all went out on the mission together!
Leng Yebai quietly observed the bag of pastel clothes, lost in thought.
Apparently, he had not yet given Bai Xiqin any beautiful clothes.
After dinner, stars dotted the sky outside.
Night fell.
The bus was locked from the inside, and the family entered the space.
The space was still abundant with crops.
Bai Zhengxuan and Liu Jing operated the harvester, collecting wheat.
Bai Xiqin perfectly combined her Control Ability with her command over space, categorizing ripe fruits and sending them into the warehouse.
One by one, the warehouses were filled again.
The speed at which they consumed food was far less than the harvest from the space.
Leng Yebai, Bai Anhai, and the others began a new round of constructing new warehouses with iron sheets.
"Taowu, what are you doing?"
Qin Yuan flew to Taowuâs head, looking curious.
"Helping the master wash clothes!"
Taowu tirelessly scrubbed clothes with its two front paws.
This was a pastel dress taken sneakily from the big bag of clothes Bai Xiqin had just put into the space.
The big bag of clothes hadnât been stored in the dedicated wardrobe warehouse yet.
Taowu had quietly opened it.
Feeling it was a bit awkward to not help the master do work while eating so much every day, it decided to help wash clothes.
This was the only thing it could help with at the moment.
Qin Yuan blinked.
Felt like it might lose favor.
If Taowu was so capable, how could it fall behind?
So, Qin Yuan quietly flew into the pile of clothes and clawed out a small item.
Being small in size, it couldnât handle big clothes, so it grabbed a sock and flew away.
While no one noticed, the Water Python stealthily rolled away with a scarf using its tail and quickly escaped.
It couldnât fall out of favor either!
Winning favor, immediately, is a must!
Wasnât it just about pleasing the master!
The Water Python, Qin Yuan, and Taowu worked hard to wash Bai Xiqinâs clothes.
With its strong front paws, Taowu was decent at washing clothes, nearly an enhanced version of a washing machine.
Qin Yuan and the Water Python, being smaller in size, simply plunged into the water, washing the socks and scarf while bathing.
"Did we forget to add that blue liquid?"
Qin Yuan pondered as it looked at the sock.
When it saw the Bai men washing clothes, they would always add some blue liquid, and it would foam.
They had been scrubbing for a long time with no foam!
Taowu sneakily glanced at Qin Yuan and the Water Python, silently bringing out two soapberries from its mouth.
Two fools, what blue liquid? When humans washed clothes, they added these soapberries!
There was very little foam from the soapberries, so the Water Python and Qin Yuan didnât notice Taowuâs little move.
Qin Yuan flew to a grapevine, picked a purple grape, and added it in.
Blindly, letâs consider this as blue!
The Water Python ran to the area where fruits were grown, earnestly choosing blueberries.
It scientifically used a physical methodâchewing twice, spitting blue juice onto the white scarf, then worked hard to scrub with its tail.
Huffing and puffing.
The three beasts washed the clothes diligently, again and again, rinsing thoroughly several times with clean water.
If you ignore the fact that they washed clothes in their feeding bowls, everything seemed fine.
Three large black iron pots became temporary washbasins.
After picking the fruits, Bai Xiqin wiped the sweat from her forehead and came to the three beasts, spotting the clothes in the big iron pots at once.
"What are you doing?" Bai Xiqinâs mouth twitched hard.
"Washing clothes for the master!"
Taowuâs strange face smiled, then used its paw to lift out the pastel skirt.
Visibly, what was once a pastel dress had turned into a set, one piece becoming two.
Ancient fierce beasts are indeed ancient fierce beasts, not very bright, but strong!
"Thanks." Bai Xiqin curled her lips.
Didnât get angry.
After all, it was just a piece of clothing, and their gesture was touching anyway.
"Master, master, I also helped you wash clothes!" Qin Yuan quickly grabbed a sock with its claw, cheerfully placing it in Bai Xiqinâs hand.
"Not bad, not bad, youâre quite capable too!"
Bai Xiqin praised Qin Yuanâs work, calmly pulling out the grape from the sock and tossing it aside.
"Master, look what I washed for you!"
The Water Python eagerly held up the scarf with its tail, looking for praise.
Bai Xiqin picked off the mushed blueberries hanging on it, then gently patted the Water Pythonâs little head.
"How come youâre so great!"
Bai Xiqinâs compliments werenât heartfelt at all.
"Yo, yo, yo..."
The Water Python spun around excitedly in place.
It felt it was the most favored, as the master patted its little head!
Taowu looked disdainfully at the Water Python and Qin Yuan, slightly raising its head proudly.
It felt that it was the most favored.
Because it had washed bigger clothes compared to Qin Yuan and the Water Python.
It must be the masterâs most loved ancient fierce beast!
"You guys donât need to wash clothes anymore; itâs too tiring. Just take a good rest," Bai Xiqin said to the three beasts with a smile.
"Working for the master is our honor." Qin Yuanâs face was firm.
Bubbles began to form in Qin Yuanâs heart; it felt like it was the most favored one.
It had evidence!
It bounced on the masterâs shoulder the most; the Water Python had bounced too, but not as much.
Taowu had never bounced on the masterâs shoulder.
Obviously, it was the most favored, Water Python second, Taowu third!
Luckily, Taowu didnât hear Qin Yuanâs thoughts; otherwise, it would surely spit blood.
Bai Xiqin could accept Qin Yuan and the Water Python bouncing on her shoulder but couldnât accept Taowu; it was too heavy.
