Chapter 41: Breakfast
Meanwhile, Shen Yuxin also dressed herself in a comfortable white robe.
"Let's go to the dining room now. Huo Rong and Bing Rong are already waiting for us there." She spoke to him and led the way forward. Shen Yuan followed after her as they engaged in small talk, but no one mentioned about Shen Yuan's cultivation as they were waiting for the whole family to gather for that.
Shen Yuxin opened the dining hall gate and entered, inside Huo Rong and Bing Rong were already sitting, looking the same as all those years back with not a single change except their more mature temperament.
Huo Rong was the first one to jump from her seat and shouted excitedly as she saw Shen Yuan, "Yuan'er!!! I finally get to see you!" She rushed towards him and hugged him tightly, her breasts pressed against his chest, her sweet scent enveloping him, making him feel hot.
He grabbed her waist and hugged her back, "It's only been a few days, why are you acting as if months or years have passed?" He asked in an amused tone as he saw her actions.
Huo Rong rubbed her cheeks against Shen Yuan's face as if she were a kitten and replied, "It's just that I missed you sooo much. And how did you become so strong all of a sudden?"
Shen Yuan left her and replied while walking towards Bing Rong, "I will tell you this afternoon when we finish breakfast, I also need to tell you, guys, about something else, something much more important."
Huo Rong's eyes flashed with curiosity while Shen Yuan stood in front of Bing Rong, now even taller than her as he asked her lightly with a gentle tone, "Did you miss me, sister Bing Rong?"
Bing Rong smiled sweetly at his caring words and went forward to hug him while replying, "Of course, I missed my dear little brother." She hugged him and Shen Yuan once again felt what bliss was as he took full advantage of her hug and hugged her back tightly, Bing Rong spoke in his mind directly with her Divine Sense, "You naughty brother, stop it now or else Huo Rong will be jealous."
Shen Yuan laughed lightly as he left her and went to sit at the dining table. Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong also sat down in their respective seats.
They began eating and chatting as they laughed and shared stories, Shen Yuxin also informed Shen Yuan, "Yuan'er, the reason I went out this time was to prepare a training ground for you. This time we won't follow you inside that training area and you will have to depend on yourself so be careful and don't hesitate to kill your enemies otherwise they might kill you instead"
Shen Yuan remained silent as he didn't agree nor disagree with her, because even though he had lived in this world for over 18 years, he had never killed a single soul before and even in his past life he had never done such a thing.
Shen Yuxin also knew this that's why she prepared this training ground for him- to harden his will and prepare him for the cruel world of cultivation, she filled it with demonic cultivators and criminals to forge Shen Yuan's will and temper his temperament.
Huo Rong and Bing Rong were also silently sitting at the side, not saying anything as they were the ones who helped Shen Yuxin prepare the training ground for Shen Yuan.
They continued eating as Shen Yuan asked for more details but Shen Yuxin only revealed a few details without spoiling him with what to face inside.
…
After they finished eating the food Shen Yuan took them to his room, which he got when he was 12 years old, but he never slept alone in his room when his family was present in the mansion, one of the 3 or more always accompanied him to sleep.
He sat down on the bed and made all of them sit down on the bed as well, Shen Yuxin sat on his right and Bing Rong took the left seat, leaving Huo Rong to sit straight ahead of him.
She pouted and spoke in an aggrieved tone, "You guys didn't even leave any good spot for me," She didn't wait for their replies and dived straight into Shen Yuan's embrace, putting her head on his lap and spoke happily, "I don't mind this place as well."
Shen Yuan shook his head helplessly as he pushed her up and spoke seriously, "What I'm about to say is serious so listen closely and be serious for once."
Huo Rong sat up straight and looked straight at Shen Yuan when she heard the gravity in his voice, Shen Yuan nodded his head when he saw her finally taking it seriously.
He began, "I know you guys wondered about where I got my cultivation technique from or how I got the treasures that are rare in the whole Eastern Desolate Region. That's what I want to tell you today. The secret behind my cultivation technique and the source of my treasures."
He spoke in all seriousness as he finally decided to reveal the existence of the system to them because as the system said, it would be a major part of their lives after the system update finished. He wanted to prepare them now, so they'd be ready for the massive changes ahead.
He wasn't expecting them to accept the situation all at once since even the system was down at this point so he couldn't ask it for some guidance.
'Sigh, I guess I will have to pull something outta my inner creative side again to explain the existence of the system.'
