Chapter 183 Advancing One by One
"As expected, he did not disappoint me. I know him quite well; he's a hypocrite. As long as he values ​​his reputation, he will definitely agree to the Empress Dowager's request."

"Otherwise, it would be a bit troublesome, as I would have to temporarily ascend the throne and go through a series of tedious and complicated formalities."

The Crown Prince shook Xin Nian's small hand, his eyes full of complaints, "With such a catastrophic natural disaster, I've been actively mobilizing all forces to transport grain and supplies. I really don't have time to deal with this mess at such a critical juncture."

Xin Nian chuckled, feeling a surge of emotion.

In the early days of her exile, she thought she had just transmigrated and hadn't figured out anything.

Little did she know that he was making many plans for her from behind the scenes.

"Thank you," the little girl said awkwardly and haughtily.

The Crown Prince's phoenix eyes shone brightly, "Between you and me, there is no need for thanks."

The eldest brother, Xin Mochen, opened his eyes and realized something was wrong.

Why is it that when I level up, there are two people around me... there's a strange sense of harmony between them.

When their eyes met, her younger sister's smile seemed more genuine.

What happened? The older brother became wary.

This doesn't seem good. Based on past experience, it's likely that someone has their eye on their little cabbage.

The eldest brother stood up with a cold face and stood between the two of them like a door blocker. "Niannian, your eldest brother has advanced to the fourth rank. Now I can use this skill. Look."

Xin Mochen casually waved his hand, and a row of flames rose from the ruins in front of him.

He can throw and retrieve skills quickly, and he can control them with ease. He has clearly found the feeling of his peak fire-type skills.

"Big brother is awesome!" Xin Nian immediately offered a big smile.

I sincerely praise his older brother for being so amazing.

This is a fire-type area-of-effect skill. Her older brother mastered it so quickly. He truly lives up to his reputation as her older brother.

Xin Mochen is now completely satisfied. Indeed, he still loves seeing his younger sister smile happily the most.

That day, all the group members were very busy, grinding soybeans to make soy milk, boiling soybean soup, and making various kinds of soybean cakes.

Xin Nian was also extremely busy, transporting numerous superhumans to serve as protectors for them.

After the eldest brother upgrades, his mother is replaced; after his mother upgrades, Mianmian is replaced.

Mianmian lived up to expectations and broke through to the fourth level. Although her skills were not good, she only made a piece of ice the size of her palm.

Xin Nian didn't hold back in praising her, extolling her younger sister to the skies, making her feel incredibly flattered.

She wholeheartedly agreed to her sister's request to go back and continue to work hard to improve her ice-blocking technique, determined to improve her skills in a short period of time.

After Chen Ling advanced to the second tier, her water-based abilities also improved significantly.

By this time, the surging energy underground had been almost completely absorbed, but despite Chi Jue's glares, Xin Nian reluctantly brought him up to experience it.

"That stinky ball you threw at me by the mountain that day, was it really from me?" Xin Nian was still bothered by this.

It smelled so bad. She almost fainted on the spot because of the stench!
"Who else in this world could be so miserable besides you?"

Xin Nian glared at him.

The latter pretended not to see it, sat down on his own, stretched out his wrist, and casually asked for help.

Xin Nian gritted her teeth, reluctantly taking his hand, and sent him a tiny bit of healing power through her fingernails.

She asked again, "Do you have any more?"

Chi Jue glanced at her this time and grinned, "You want it?"

She was somewhat interested in seeing the actual product.

But seeing the malicious glint in Chi Jue's eyes, he immediately shook his head.

If he throws another one over, she'll stink from head to toe!

No, forget it, I won't watch it.

What a piece of trash.

"Where is your older brother... I mean, the one who used to claim to be my best friend in the world?"

"What do you think?" I said. What could I possibly say? What do I know?

Xin Nian glared at him again, "Fine, don't bother talking then."

“My older brother did something for you back then, and his health has been poor ever since. He has been recuperating at Jiangnan Chunyuan for several years.”

Xin Nian's heart skipped a beat. "Is your older brother named Chi Zheng?"

"You remembered??"

It wasn't that she remembered, but she had been intentionally eavesdropping on the Chi family's conversations...

"Are we passing by that Jiangnan Spring Garden?"

"How could we possibly pass by? It's to the south. We're heading north now, towards the far north."

“Then I’ll go pick him up!” Xin Nian thought for a moment.

Their family was able to be born into this world, probably thanks to the great help of a soul sorcerer.

So if you know where they are, you should bring them over, right?

"At least you still have some conscience." Chi Jue grumbled and snorted. "Back when the Imperial Observatory predicted the heavenly calamity, His Highness the Crown Prince had already made thorough preparations. My brother was taken away earlier and went directly to the Northern Wilderness to join us."

"Oh, oh." Xin Nian nodded. "Then His Highness the Crown Prince is indeed very shrewd."

"Of course, do you think you're like that, jumping from one thing to another, bringing home every handsome young man you see?"

Xin Nian: ?
What did she do?

After finishing his rambling, Chi Jue was too lazy to say anything more to her, so he simply closed his eyes and silently circulated his energy.

Xin Nian cursed him in her heart, then sat down beside him listlessly, watching the fire rain falling in a drizzle outside the barrier.

My head hurts; I wonder when this fiery rain will stop.

Xin Nian stayed with Chi Jue until the sky gradually darkened, only then belatedly realizing that it was dark!
Chi Jue opened his eyes and saw the little girl staring blankly ahead.

He turned his head to look, but there was nothing there, just a dilapidated ruin with scattered firelight reflecting off it.

"It's getting dark?" Chi Jue was quite surprised.

So does this mean that day and night have returned to normal?

Xin Nian was very pleased and nodded, "As you can see."

Only after experiencing the ups and downs of day and night can one truly appreciate how wonderful it is to return to normal sunrise and sunset.

At least I'm not confused anymore, not knowing what day it is.

Xin Nian led Chi Jue back to the underground garage, bringing back the news that it was getting dark. Everyone was quite surprised and started discussing it.

"So, does that mean things will go back to normal from now on?"

"You're overthinking it. Everyone says the outside world is a wasteland, and no matter how much it's restored, it can never go back to what it was before."

One after another, everyone sighed, feeling a tightness in their chests as they thought about the unknown wasteland outside.

Xin Nian ignored all of that and continued to assign tasks to the workers as usual.

This will surely keep everyone busy, encouraging them to contribute their energy and work actively.

For three days in a row, Xin Nian sneaked down to the ground to take a look.

On the fourth day, she brought back another message: "The fire and rain have stopped."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately perked up and asked her all at once, "Sixth Miss, shall we go up now?"

"The temperature has risen a lot," Xin Nian said truthfully.

"Although the fire rain has stopped, fires are still burning everywhere. Judging from the current situation, it won't be extinguished until four, five, six, or seven days, or until a heavy rain comes."

Everyone was disheartened upon hearing this.

Doesn't this mean they have to continue hiding in this basement for a long time?

"Two water collection points are out of water today," Han Zhao said with a grave expression.

"Everyone has made a lot of bamboo tubes these past few days. We're trying to fill each one with water, even if it's heavy, we have to carry it with us."
