Chapter 13: A Day Spent Missing My Guest

Page 1/3

Qin Yue Ran watched Huhu dash over. After pulling up the interface and performing a series of operations, a beam of light shot out, scanning her thoroughly.

Looking at the scan results, Huhu said, “One meter sixty-eight, Xiao Ran.”

“Grew eight centimeters!!!” Qin Yue Ran was stunned. “This is amazing!”

She grinned foolishly, having always been dissatisfied with her height until today. She hadn’t expected such a remarkable effect from cultivation—suddenly shooting up eight centimeters.

No wonder she felt everything was strange when she went to shower; it turned out she had grown taller.

Very good. She was quite satisfied with her current height!

But soon, a new worry arose. With her increased height, none of her clothes fit anymore…

Ordering online would take at least a day or two to arrive, right?

Qin Yue Ran’s eyes darted about as she suddenly remembered she still had a system and a shop.

Tentatively, she typed “clothes,” and sure enough, there were options.

She had the system scan and upload her measurements, and suitable-sized clothes were recommended right before her. She picked out a few sets to wear for the time being—spending a few hundred points in the process.

“Let’s go out for a stroll and show our face. Then when we come back, we’ll start working on the farm,” Qin Yue Ran said, patting Huhu’s head.

Speaking of the farm, she realized she had delayed so long without starting it—sigh…

She promised herself she would do it without fail once she returned.

For now, while showing her face outside, she might as well grab some…

Qin Yue Ran checked her phone: 12:38 PM.

She decided to have lunch before returning. Although she technically didn’t need to eat now, and the food outside wasn’t as tasty as what the system provided.

Once at the door, Qin Yue Ran finally snapped out of her excitement over her growth. “Wait, I’ve changed so much now. What if I run into someone I saw not long ago, like Grandma Li? How do I explain it?”

The initial thrill passed, and she realized her sudden change might be hard to explain if seen by others.

If she had returned looking like this, she could say she’d been away too long and it was normal to have changed upon growing up.

But this change happened within just a day or two…

“There’s a way,” Huhu said, perched on Qin Yue Ran’s shoulder. “Xiao Ran now has magical power, meaning she has spiritual energy.

The system will draw from this spiritual energy as fuel to blur others’ perceptions, so they think you still look the same as before.

Then, over time, you gradually appear as you do now.”

“Alright, alright. So that’s why you’re not afraid to go out with me? You let them think you’re just a little kitten?” Qin Yue Ran asked.

“Mm,” Huhu purred softly. “Let’s go, I want to see the world too.”

“Okay.”

Since she could disguise herself, Qin Yue Ran felt at ease and opened the real back door to leave.

She went to a shop she used to frequent as a child. Upon entering, the busy owner looked up and seemed to recognize her as an old customer.

He smiled warmly. “The little cat’s still cute, just like before, right?”

“Mm,” Qin Yue Ran nodded.

“All right, just a moment. Seems like it’s been a while since I last saw you,” the owner chatted. “Still studying?”

Qin Yue Ran blushed, thinking she hadn’t even found a job yet. “I graduated.”

“Oh, then you must be job hunting now,” he sighed. “Jobs aren’t easy to find these days. Even my son still hasn’t found a suitable one.”

The conversation quickly shifted to his son’s situation.

Qin Yue Ran just listened; the owner didn’t expect her to respond.

After lunch, she said goodbye and left, strolling around the small town with Huhu.

“There’s not much to see, really. Just an ordinary small town. The population slowly dwindled, but after developing a nearby scenic spot, it’s become lively again,” Qin Yue Ran said wistfully, holding Huhu.

Maintaining the blurred perception required spiritual energy, but the world’s insufficient spiritual aura prevented her full recovery.

Even circulating her cultivation method was a net loss, so she returned home.

Back at the Immortal Island, still without new guests, she chose to start the farm.

Following the layout map, Qin Yue Ran teleported to the designated farm spot.

Looking at the raw area, she resigned herself and began chopping trees, cutting grass, and breaking stones—since she knew no spells.

Fortunately, she was no longer the Qin Yue Ran who had just started this journey.

Now she was stronger, no longer trembling after clearing land—a significant improvement.

Wiping away the nonexistent sweat from her forehead, she nodded satisfied: “Gathered another batch of resources. Next is to fence off this area.”

Using the gathered stones and wood, she combined materials and fences “popped” down from above, automatically enclosing the area.

Once fenced, the next step was to till the land. She turned her tool into a hoe and with a few strokes, a square patch measuring fifty centimeters on each side sprouted.

By sunset, she had only tilled about a hundred plots, while filling the entire fenced area required a thousand.

Qin Yue Ran looked up at the sky, speechless. “What a day, huh, Huhu?”

“Huh?” Huhu was shocked. Had Xiao Ran finally gone mad?

Qin Yue Ran withdrew her gaze and sighed. “Nothing. Let’s go eat dinner.”

No matter how big the world, eating comes first! Even fasting couldn’t dampen her love for good food.

Dinner was scallion oil noodles, and afterward, Qin Yue Ran had Huhu pull up downloaded recipes to cook more dishes.

How could one be idle? There was braised eggplant, salt-baked chicken, pan-fried buns.

“All right, unlocked four new dishes today,” Qin Yue Ran clapped her hands. “The restaurant’s menu is getting richer.”

Since she could cultivate now, Qin Yue Ran naturally replaced sleep with training.

After a whole night, she felt her cultivation had progressed considerably.

At seven in the morning, she finished her last weekly cycle of practice, changed into loose clothes, and went out for a run, brushing her face at the same time.

Returning to the island, she picked up a wooden stick to use as a sword—to practice the supreme sword technique.

Huhu stared wide-eyed. This host was diligent!

Wait, hadn’t Xiao Ran said she wanted to be a couch potato? Strange—never seen such a hardworking couch potato.

“Xiao Ran, you’re really passionate about cultivation,” Huhu said, rushing over after watching her sword practice.

“Not really, it’s only the first day. How can you tell?” Qin Yue Ran squatted down, lightly tapping Huhu’s head with a smile.

“Really, it’s in your eyes,” Huhu said seriously, looking deep into Qin Yue Ran’s eyes.

Qin Yue Ran blinked. “Maybe it’s because everyone from Flower Nation has a dream of cultivating immortality. I’m no exception. Now that I have the chance, of course I’ll go all out.”

“That makes sense,” Huhu nodded solemnly. “I found lots of cultivation novels from your planet—your passion really shows.”

“Hehe,” Qin Yue Ran giggled twice and stood. “Let’s go have breakfast. Then I have to keep digging. No idea when those three customers will come again.”

For a moment, Qin Yue Ran felt wistful. “I miss their points…”
