Chapter 406: Chapter 372: The Kid’s Mom

"The range and power of the skill are related to the user’s spiritual power."

So the higher the spiritual power, the greater the power that can be used?

But...

Jiang Xiao glanced at his own spirit value.

Spirit: ???

Since the beginning, his spiritual power had always been these three question marks.

It seemed to be questioning Jiang Xiao, do you really need to check how strong your own spirit is?

"Just S rank? The same as the ’Regeneration’ level, but obviously much inferior to Bai Liu’s X rank."

Honestly, he was a bit disappointed, having originally thought it was an SSS, or at least an S.

It just goes to show that he was deceived by the lightning symbol in the grid; the more it flashes doesn’t necessarily mean a higher level.

’Crackling’

He wasn’t sure where this space was located, as Jiang Xiao didn’t feel the presence of any magnetic field.

Instead, he could generate some electricity in the palm of his hand—blue lightning.

"That’s good, at least I have magical attacks now, so the next time I encounter some non-Kaidan creatures, I’ve got a good way to handle them."

"Alright!"

Kaidan also helped Jiang Xiao get a clear picture of the current situation for the two of them.

"That little girl is alright, just a bit unhappy, but overall not a big problem."

"But that big woman is not doing so well, um, to use your Dragon Country’s words, she’s a workhorse, pure and simple, and needs to work three jobs a day to make ends meet."

Jiang Xiao: "?"

That’s outrageous?

Deep down he was inclined to rescue the child first, but he hadn’t realized Sun Wei was living such a hard life...

"Alright, then let’s save the older one."

Counting on his fingers, it wouldn’t take many days to rescue Shi Shi.

If it really came down to it, facing danger, he could also bring over the Peach Wood Sword and the scepter and ritual robe he had obtained in Romia Cathedral.

Kaidan: "Go meet her yourself, she’s still at work~"

An invisible little door appeared in front of Jiang Xiao.

Without hesitation, he stepped through it.

After a fleeting sensation, his feet had landed on solid ground.

"Is it tangible?"

Different from the slow transition from ethereal to solid when he had met Mu Xitang, this time he was solid upon landing.

Moreover, the time in this world was different from just now in the Kaidan, night had already fallen.

Jiang Xiao appeared in front of a laundry shop.

"Cuihong Dry Cleaning Store"

Of course, this wasn’t a store opened by Sun Wei, Kaidan had mentioned she was just a worker.

The night was deep.

The closed shops around him indicated that it was already very late, apart from the laundry, only a 24-hour convenience store nearby was still open.

He didn’t walk in directly; Jiang Xiao chose to go to the window.

He wanted to see if Sun Wei had suffered any unbearable grievances during this time.

Not killing those people who had surrounded Mu Xitang to enjoy the show was something that weighed on his conscience forever.

This time he planned to play it smart.

First, see if Sun Wei had been wronged, then deal with it, and finally rescue her.

This way, he could effectively avoid the tragedy of being forcefully pulled away by Kaidan immediately after contacting Sun Wei.

Brilliant!

"Hmm?"

Through the window, Jiang Xiao immediately spotted the person sitting on the small stool, hunched over and scrubbing clothing.

It was her, unchanged in appearance.

Her clothing was as conservatively modest as ever.

She wore a teal long-sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans.

Tired from scrubbing, she used her dry wrist to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"Sun Wei? Sun Wei? Are you done with the washing? If you’re done, head back first, it’s already very late, and the rest can be washed tomorrow. It’s not urgent."

With the end of that voice, an old aunt in her forties or fifties walked out from the inner room, still holding a bowl of noodles.

"Stop washing for now, here, this is the noodles we cooked ourselves, made too much and got a bowl for you, eat it while it’s hot."

"Thank you, Sister Wan."

Sun Wei didn’t refuse but took the bowl of noodles and then sat down on a small stool to eat.

"Eh?"

Seeing her stick out her tongue because it was hot, Jiang Xiao understood that Sun Wei’s ability also couldn’t be used in this world.

Could it be that all of them were in the same world?

It seemed that Sun Wei was not bullied by the laundry shop’s owner~

Jiang Xiao didn’t disturb her eating the noodles, knowing from the way she kept eating despite the heat that she must have been starving.

It wasn’t until she finished her noodles and the owner took the bowl and chopsticks back inside that Jiang Xiao approached the front door, this time he didn’t hesitate and pushed the door open directly.

’Ding-dong ding-ling~’

As soon as the door was pushed, the chain of small bells hanging above knocked against one another.

"Hello, welcome, are you here to wash clothes? Dry cleaning is 20, hand wash 50, machine wash is a bit cheaper if possible..."

Sun Wei familiarly introduced the prices of various washing methods.

When the customer didn’t speak for a long time, she looked up curiously.

Both: ....

"It’s you, I knew for sure you would come to find me."

While striving to suppress the calmness in her tone, Jiang Xiao still saw the surge of emotion in her eyes.

"Of course, let’s go home, Mu Xitang and Bai Yi have been waiting for you."

"Okay..."

Sun Wei nodded her head heavily.

"Great!"

Upon hearing the noise, the owner came out of the inner room again, but when she saw Jiang Xiao, she understood and went back inside.

"Only Bai Yi and Mu Xitang?"

In the face of Sun Wei’s question, Jiang Xiao nodded sheepishly.

He indicated that they were almost done and would soon be able to rescue Shi Shi as well.

At this point, their bodies were gradually becoming transparent.

"Speaking of which, you worked three jobs?"

"Yeah, the rent here is so expensive, renting an apartment is killing me."

Talking about living expenses, Sun Wei, who had always been frugal, couldn’t help but complain, commenting that a simple meal here could buy two pounds of pork in the village.

Especially the rent, which took up most of Sun Wei’s income.

At the same time, Sun Wei liked to save money, disliked spending to the last dime, and only by working three jobs could she save some money to deal with possible emergencies.

"With the cost of living so high in the city center, couldn’t you move to a place where prices are cheaper?"

"I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to find me if I went too far."

Jiang Xiao fell silent.

The same thought as Mu Xitang.

Even though life was hard, they chose to stay put; they didn’t know that no matter where they went, Kaidan could transport Jiang Xiao over.

"By the way, what exactly happened that day?"

The two kids couldn’t clarify the reason for their sudden disappearance.

Unexpectedly, Sun Wei couldn’t answer this question either.

"Just fell asleep, and when I woke up, I was on the street."

.....

When they saw the renowned Sun Wei being led out by Jiang Xiao,

to be honest,

even the Qingshan Mental Hospital, dubbed as the Twilight of the Gods, had many old men and women feeling a bit apprehensive.

After all, this wasn’t some ignorant little kids like Mu Xitang,

but a full-grown, mature and strange entity...

Seeing everyone’s wary looks, and then Sun Wei’s awkward hand-wringing, Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows.

"A bunch of immortals, she’s their mother, so what’s the problem?"
