Bai Li’s proposal was just as appealing after Old Turtle opened his mouth to describe the feeling of the special energy being infused into his body. No one hesitated to respond, and let Bai Li give them some.

Bai Li had been doing this for a long time, and after a few seconds of raising his hand, he said he was done.

The four of them, “???” Was it that fast?

However, when they looked at Bai Li’s relaxed and comfortable expression, several people automatically shut their mouths.

Soon, the group arrived at the place where several more old people were meeting. There was a huge naturally formed rock. The surface was flat and smooth, and it was only about half a meter higher than the ground, so by standing on it, someone could look out at everything around him. 

Since Wen Xiao had successfully communicated with his grandson, who had also found him a grandson-in-law he was very happy with, Master Wen Xiao was in a happy mood. Seeing Bai Li looking around curiously, he said proudly, “I found this place first. Who would have thought that there was a ‘gate’ leading to other places at the corner of a hillside? The rabbits are also timid. They’ve been living in this area for so long, how could they not have found this place? But they actually did not explore inside…Still, it’s good. This place is ours, Haha!”

Bai Li nodded along with Wen Xiao’s words, Grandpa Wen’s luck was really good. According to his observation, this place was indeed like a secret place. When he was unintentionally walking there, they seemed to have been brought to hidden space. Otherwise, how could so many of them go through that hole at the foot of the hillside? Shouldn’t they be walking on the other side of the hillside?

Moreover, this place was not underground. The surrounding light was bright, you could look up and see the warm sun in the sky, so it obviously couldn’t be at the bottom of the hillside. Also the environment here and the area where they came had obvious differences in the the surrounding scenery.

In this regard, Bai Li thought it was obvious now how he had ended up in the immortal world, and none of them were safer than he was now. 

“By the way, Little Fox, you just told us that you came back to Hope Star to test farming land by human hands. How about this place? Is it big enough and spacious enough to use this as the first test site?” Lu Ying asked with a smile in her words. She saw Bai Li’s satisfaction with this place, and although they used this place as a private meeting place, she believed that if Bai Li wanted it, none of the old guys would refuse.

“Yes, yes, yes! If you like it, this place will be yours!” Wen Xiao said aloud. “You don’t have to worry about us. We are going to change back to human from our beast forms. When the time comes, we will definitely walk out from Hope Star. Other than that, the farming game you mentioned before, called Carefree Farmstead right? We have to go in and have fun!”

Bai Li smiled and accepted it openly, “If you guys are willing, that would be great. I was worried about how to mention it to you.” He thought he’d have to bring it up, but Grandma Lu took the initiative to help him.

Since they had joined the small gathering, Bai Li wasn’t willing to just let everyone just drink nutrient solution, so he and Wen XingYao exchanged a look and started to dig into their respective storage devices for the food they had already prepared.

Considering that the people they came to meet at Hope Star were in Therian form, Bai Li and Wen XingYao purposely made the food in “big” portions. The food was served in special large bowls, and included mountains of roast pork, juicy chicken thighs that fell off the bone, sweet and sour pork covered with sauce and sprinkled with scallions and sesame seeds, noodles with scallion oil piled on top of in small bowls, one bite fried meatballs, golden bites of fried potato pancakes…There was even a bucket of passion fruit lemonade to relieve fatigue.

Finally, the two of them brought out a steaming bucket of white rice, which was even bigger than the lemonade. To sum up, it was more meat and less vegetables, but the main food and drinks weren’t lacking.

The moment the two people began pulling out food, the other five began to back away. This was from the memories of their early years. Although the food made from natural ingredients was more nutritious and more beneficial to the body, they could not help but remember how it tasted. They had listened to Bai Li and Wen XingYao say they were going to treat them to a good meal, and these several old people’s first thought was, run! Escape far away, escape…No need to be forced to eat that awful food. Hmm? What smells so good? They had retreated to the edge of the boulder, but a few of them with keen senses of smell looked in the direction of Bai Li and Wen XingYao.

A charming fragrance, like a demon ghost that tempts people to fall into the abyss, or a being with countless pairs of tentacles that once it touched a creature with spiritual intelligence, it enchantingly tangled around them, then hooked people’s eyes and mind to wander out of the sky.

So, the five old people who had been hiding on the edge of the boulder, squinted their eyes, full of subconscious fascination, and their bodies moved on their own. When they came back to their senses a little, they were already standing at the side of dozens of large pots of food.

They watched Bai Li and Wen XingYao’s movements and talked super loudly. Of course, the content of their exchange, except for themselves, could only be heard by Bai Li.

“Do you guys smell it? This is too fragrant! If I’m not wrong, this fragrance is coming from the items Little Fox and his grandson took out, right?”

“I smell it! I have never smelled such a good smell in my life! I don’t know if you guys feel it too, but my mouth is constantly secreting saliva. Just talking to you guys at this moment, I almost can’t hold it in!”

“Is this the smell of food from outside? I didn’t expect that after so many years of us living here, the outside has developed like this…Hmph! That group of unworthy sons and daughters obviously have such delicious food but they didn’t bring it over for us to eat. They were only willing to let us drink nutrient solution, and said that those nutrient solutions were the latest tastes, but I still can’t eat it easily, I spit!”

“You calm down. Your guess isn’t necessarily right. You haven’t looked at what the Little Fox is now. He had a strange encounter. Maybe only he can come up with such good smelling food! Ooh, that should be meat. I know the taste of this meat is absolutely not bad! The most critical thing is that it does not have that gamey smell!”

“Fortunately, we didn’t take out the nutrient solution to give the two little guys to drink, or our face would suffer a big loss…Little Fox, ah! Grandmother is now greedy! Can we start to eat? Hey, Old Turtle, how come you are talking so little today? It’s not like you! Old Ke’s words are more than yours!”

Old Turtle, Jiang Hong, “…”

While he was tempted by the pile of culinary delicacies in front of him, he suddenly recalled that Bai Li and Wen XingYao had said that they would take him back to the hotel and have a delicious meal first. He was the one who was tired of the hassle of coming and going and proposed to come here directly, but now…His old heart was wrapped in regret, and he even had a somewhat dark thought.

If he had known that Little Fox would be bringing out such delicacies, he should have secretly eaten a meal behind the back of the others first! He was slow, he may not be able to grab the food even with only a few people…

There were a billion points to cry about.

Bai Li and Wen XingYao calculated the amount of food for several people, but didn’t take out all the food that was already prepared in the storage device. In fact, they had prepared a lot before coming over, and if they took it all out it simply couldn’t all be eaten.

After he asked the others if they could eat, Bai Li gestured to the five pairs of burning eyes, then took out five new automatic feeding robots developed by the Imperial Research Institute which could automatically feed various kinds of food to their targets as long as they were programmed. These little robots weren’t something Bai Li had bought. Instead it came from the president and vice president, whose two old hearts were overwhelmed while living in his home and used that time to stuff new things in his hands. The gifts were not just one or two, either, but ten or twenty units upwards.

At that time Bai Li doubted that no one would buy such a small robot that was developed, but now he found that his thinking was small. No matter what the items were, their “existence was reasonable.” He hadn’t seen them since he hadn’t been to the 21st century, where there were still people with remote control toys to use as a cat teaser stick.

After they listened to Bai Li’s introduction on how to use the little robots, Wen Xiao waved his tail happily and almost flapped his wings. “This is good! This robot is wonderfully designed. It immediately solves the problem for us of not eating gracefully enough. I was worried that later on we might even overturn the basin when we fight! Hahaha!”

Old Turtle was also quietly relieved. If he focused on the dry rice, his speed wouldn’t be too much slower than the others. However, would things really go as smoothly as they think…? These few old people who ate superb culinary delicacies for the first time went straight for grabbing it like crazy.

“Kam! Old Wen you eat slowly. The robot is so small, but you let it fork you ten large chicken legs at a time. That is too much, don’t you see people can’t walk?”

“The robot is at least from the Imperial Research Institute, so the quality is guaranteed. Forget ten, let it bring me a whole tub! It will not fall apart.”

“Hum, isn’t that my point? You eat slowly, and save a few for me!”

“Seriously, Old Ke, are you using martial arts? Not only are you letting the little robot help you grab the meatballs, you are also grabbing them on their own? Those noodles with scallion oil…It’s called scallion oil mixed noodles, how can you inhale them like that? Don’t you feel for us who can’t eat it?”

“It’s delicious! Quickly come to eat.”

“Ho, come on. I’m really afraid of you. Leave me a few bowls, ah!”

“YingYing, the pan-fried potato cakes and sweet and sour pork are delicious. You hurry up and eat!”

“Thank you, thank you! I’m going to try it. I feel that with white rice it will be twice as delicious. Jin Tao, you should also try it! And there is also that drink, passion fruit lemonade. It’s very refreshing and delicious. Slightly sour, but not a big problem!”

“Okay, I’m going to pour a cup!”

“…”

Originally Bai Li and Wen XingYao came out to look for someone, and ate nutritional liquid on the way to settle their stomachs. At this time they also wanted to take the opportunity to fill their stomachs, but as they held up their chopsticks, it was hard not to notice the five elders who took the time to cast them resistant looks as if to say: You should usually eat a lot, right? Leave this meal all for us, and you guys don’t eat it!

Oh, such top-notch delicacies. After eating it, I want to lick the plate clean!
