My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 232 Intimate
Xin Nian happily brushed her teeth and washed her face, then slumped onto the long sofa by the window.

It's rare to have such a leisurely time; it feels so comfortable. Xin Nian took a book out of the drawer of the small cabinet and turned to a page she had read before.

"Sister, sister!!" Chang Mianmian knocked loudly on the door from outside.

Xin Nian flicked the small vine from her wrist, letting it dart over and turn the doorknob to open the door for Chang Mianmian.

"Haha! You'd never guess! My aunt leveled up to level five!"

Xin Nian immediately jumped up from the sofa, "Where's my dad?"

Chang Mianmian ran over and sat down next to her, chuckling, "Uncle went out for a workout with his little team early this morning."

"Don't worry, I've prepared plenty of ice and water for them. The round trip will definitely take two or three hours."

Xin Nian nodded with a smile.

Her dad must feel a sense of urgency now. His wife has already reached level five. If he doesn't work harder, he'll fall completely behind. Hehe.

“Mianmian, call Chen Ling, my brother, and your aunt over here.”

“Okay!” Mianmian immediately ran downstairs and soon led them in.

"Honey, what are we having for lunch today?" Xie Ninglan asked about food as soon as they met.

Xin Nian chuckled and pulled her to sit down, then invited the others to sit on the sofa to one side as well.

“After I advanced to the sixth rank yesterday, my maximum production capacity for spatial condensation beads reached fifty. My condensation bead space is now about one hundred and sixty cubic meters.” Xin Nian said, taking out five round condensation beads and spreading them out in her palm.

"Each person gets one, no deception. In each bead, besides the most basic survival kit and medical kit, there are also some rice, flour, salt, sugar, oil, canned food, self-heating rice, instant noodles, and purified water. Mom, give this one to Dad."

Seeing that they were stunned, Xin Nian handed the Ningzhu beads to the four of them one by one.

"Oh, I also put in some of my commonly used medicines and poisons, all labeled. You can check them yourselves."

"Sister~~~ You are the best sister in the world." Chang Mianmian reached out and hugged Xin Nian, rubbing against her affectionately.

Xin Nian pushed her head away, "Take a good look at it yourself later, and tell me as soon as possible if there's anything missing. I may not be able to consider everything."

"Mmm-hmm." Chang Mianmian nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice.

Xin Mochen looked at his younger sister with a smile in his eyes.

Chen Ling held the condensed pearl tightly in her hand, too excited to speak.

"Oh, by the way, Koike made eight sets of armor using giant serpent scales, making them virtually impervious to blades and spears."

"Two of the sets were originally agreed to be given to Lingluo and Yanxi. The remaining six sets are one set each for you, and they are all stored in the crystal beads. As for the last one, I will also store it in Xiaopang's crystal bead, and give it to him when we meet."

"Captain, what about you?" Chen Ling asked hurriedly. "Actually, I've been helping out in the kitchen, so I don't need the armor..."

Xin Nian waved her hand, "It's settled then. I don't need any armor. Any attack will be dodged by teleportation before it even hits me."

Xie Ninglan glanced at the girl and pouted, "You have a bad memory, don't you? Didn't you get injured when you fought Wuxia and that other girl last time?"

Xin Nian: ...

"Mother, that was so long ago. Back then I was just a lowly fourth-ranked person, but things are very different now!"

"Besides, I just happened to run into a special type of ability user who could deflect attacks that time, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten injured."

Xie Ninglan still felt the girl was unreliable. "Didn't we receive a lot of materials from the processing plant a few days ago? Let Xiao Chi make you another piece of self-defense gear."

“Mother is right, but you can’t let your guard down either.” Xin Nian nodded quickly, “I know, I know, Xiao Chi is doing research. He will continue to make all kinds of weapons and armor, don’t worry.”

"Captain, words cannot express my gratitude." Chen Ling stood up, about to kneel down to pay her respects, but Xin Nian reached out and stopped her.

"Alright, we don't need to kneel like that. Everyone has seen the contributions you've made to the team these past few days." Xin Nian patted her on the shoulder. "Let's make progress together and look forward to the future."

Chen Ling gripped the condensed pearl tightly, nodded heavily, and said in a choked voice, "Okay, I'll do whatever the captain says."

Xin Nian smiled and pulled her to sit down.

"The condensed beads contain my spatial power. Each of your individual condensed beads can only be opened by yourselves. Keep them safe with you, but even if you lose them, it's not a big deal. I can recall them in a minute."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, thinking to themselves, how could they possibly lose such an important spatial artifact! They would never lose the Condensed Pearl.

Xin Nian turned to look at her mother, "What are we having for lunch?"

"I'm asking you!" Xie Ninglan blinked. "It's so hot today, how about we keep it simple and make some cold noodles? Slice some beef and cook a pot of tomato and egg soup?"

Xin Nian pounded her little fist. "Okay, I'll listen to Mom."

"Hey, I'll make you some knife-cut noodles!" Chang Mianmian volunteered.

"No, no! Don't move! Why make knife-cut noodles for cold noodles?" Xie Ninglan gave her a disdainful look. "I'll do it!"

To be honest, Xie Ninglan's cooking skills aren't that great either.

But when Lao Xin came back at noon, he praised his wife to the skies. He devoured a whole bowl of cold noodles by himself, praising his wife's competence as he ate...

Grandma Xie looked at her son-in-law's tanned face and felt a little sorry for him. "Son-in-law..."

Grandma Xie said, "Don't go out tomorrow. Send others out to scout ahead."

Old Xin grinned at the old lady with his big white teeth, "Don't worry, Mother-in-law, I'm fine. I exercise every day and I'm full of energy all day long."

Especially now that the brothers from Longhu Village are training with him, the group of them are all running around like crazy, shouting and yelling. With Lao Xin leading the way, he feels like a real mountain king...

Did your parents-in-law sleep well last night?

"Good, good, good, it couldn't be better." The old man and woman smiled as they mentioned the bed in the room.

After days of running around, I slept really well last night.

On the road to escape famine, there was a house and a bed, and the house was fully equipped with food and drink. What more could be said? It was simply the life of a god.

"Thank you for your trouble, son-in-law." Minister Xie looked at his son-in-law and finally smiled a little.

After the meal, Xin Nian handed her father a cup of vitamin C effervescent tablets and said with a smile, "Dad, you sweat a lot in this weather, so you should take some vitamins."

Old Xin was deeply moved. His little darling still loved her father, though she was sometimes a bit strict.

"Honey, I just received the crystal bead you sent. Thank you, honey." It has everything you need; my daughter is so thoughtful, always considering every aspect.

The spatial beads prepared for them are essentially large first-aid kits, so that even if they are suddenly separated from their teammates, they will still have supplies available for emergencies.

Xin Nian rolled her eyes at him, "Why are you being so polite with your daughter?"

"Father, did you two run to the back mountain just now?"

"Yes. Don't be fooled by the hill's half-hidden shape and low height; it's actually a bumpy, dirt-covered path that's quite difficult to climb. There's a deep ditch on the other side of the hill, but it's not very wide; it only takes about ten minutes to walk around it."

"Any discoveries?"
