High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 46: Consuming the Wisdom Heart Fruit, That Person on TV Looks Like Su Mu

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Consuming the Wisdom Heart Fruit, That Person on TV Looks Like Su Mu
In the bedroom, Xiaoyue hugged the Great White Bear and fell into a deep sleep.
Outside the window, lights sparkled in every household.
"It’s actually nothing much." Su Mu gently stroked Miaomiao’s hair.
"I want to hear it."
The person in his arms looked up with a stubborn gaze. Su Mu, feeling helpless, began recounting his battlefield experiences. Even though he glossed over the dangerous parts, Miaomiao still listened with her heart pounding.
Originally, it was not three or five surviving, but only three people survived!
Feeling Miaomiao hold onto him tightly, Su Mu’s voice became even softer, "It’s alright, it’s all in the past."
"Su Mu, promise me one thing."
"Go ahead."
"If the time comes to defend our home and country, Xiaoyue and I will feel proud and honored for you, but at other times... Xiaoyue and I will be waiting for you at home, I want you to remember that."
"Alright."
After a brief silence, a flash of spiritual light appeared in Su Mu’s hand, and he took out the Wisdom Heart Fruit, explaining its effects briefly. Without any hesitation, Miaomiao said, "Then let’s give this fruit to Xiaoyue. She said she wants to be a strong martial artist like you in the future."
"What about you?"
"I’m rather lazy and don’t enjoy cultivation. My talent was better than yours back then."
"Really?"
Su Mu turned over and pressed Miaomiao beneath him. Seeing her eyes that wanted to refuse but also welcomed him, he couldn’t resist any longer and buried his head deeply.
A night of passion, like a raging fire.
...
The next day, Su Mu got up early and took some packets of herbs from the space ring. These were the strengthening body soup ingredients he had purchased from the Elixir Medicine Academy, specifically for children who hadn’t become martial artists yet.
In this world, children generally wait until they are ten years old, after their bodies have developed, to start martial arts training, otherwise, it could damage their bodies.
However, children from martial artist families or large powerful families start earlier because they have various medicinal herbs and spirit fruits as a foundation.
"Daddy, are you making something delicious?"
Hearing the noise, Xiaoyue walked out rubbing her eyes while holding the Great White Bear.
"Daddy will make something delicious later, Xiaoyue, go wake up your mom and ask her to prepare an herbal bath for you."
"Okay."
On the bed, Miaomiao opened her eyes, feeling like her body was going to fall apart. Someone was too crazy last night, although Miaomiao knew that guy had already restrained himself a lot.
"Xiaoyue, Daddy prepared a delicious fruit for you, eat it first."
Miaomiao got up with difficulty and gave a small resentful glance. Su Mu smiled and peeled the fruit for Xiaoyue, who ate it in one bite, her eyes shining.
"Tasty, is there more?"
"Daddy will make more delicious things later. Come, Xiaoyue, let’s go for a bath first." Miaomiao quickly saved the situation.
In no time, the bathwater turned as black as ink. Miaomiao was amazed, while Xiaoyue’s body was releasing some sticky black unidentified substances.
Being a First Level Martial Artist, Miaomiao naturally knew that this was expelling impurities from the body, showing that the fruit’s effect was excellent.
"It feels good, Xiaoyue’s body feels warm, but my head feels cool."
After eating the Wisdom Heart Fruit and soaking in the herbal bath, both noticed that their daughter Xiaoyue seemed more spirited, her eyes sparkling, and her complexion more rosy.
"Miaomiao, I’m going downstairs to get some things."
Shortly after, Su Mu came back home carrying a big bunch of stuff, and Jiang Miaomiao cast a puzzled glance his way, "We’ll take Xiaoyue to her grandparents’ later, it’s been a long time since we visited, I need to see my parents."
"Why do you buy so many things every time you visit? You even bought wine, Dad is practically about to open a winery."
"We have to bring something, we can’t go empty-handed."
After breakfast, the family left home, and downstairs was a parked black Mercedes. Miaomiao was surprised when Su Mu pressed the key and the trunk opened.
"It’s a rental. Miaomiao, if you like this model, I’ll buy you one later."
"No need, no need to waste the money. I’m not far from my workplace, Xiaoyue’s school is close, and I don’t drive much." Miaomiao waved her hand.
Despite her words, Su Mu could sense that Miaomiao was quite happy sitting in the passenger seat.
...
After retiring from teaching, Xiaoyue’s grandfather moved back to his rural hometown.
"Dad, Mom!"
Miaomiao parked the car after some effort, and Su Mu shouted as he carried the stuff.
"Grandpa, Grandma!"
"Is that Xiaoyue?"
Grandpa and Grandma walked out of the house, surprised to see Su Mu, "Su Mu is back too, Miaomiao, why didn’t you say something?"
"Dad, Mom, I just came back yesterday."
"Alright, come inside quickly. You always bring so many things, there’s hardly room for them inside." Grandma took the things from Su Mu’s hands.
"Oh, even brother-in-law came back?" A man in his forties walked out of the house. When he saw the parked Mercedes with the small sign "Linjiang Rentals" on the window, he was surprised.
The brother-in-law let out a snort, having been startled earlier thinking Su Mu had struck it rich.
"Brother-in-law, renting this car isn’t cheap, right?"
"It’s alright, a bit over a thousand per day, about eleven lower grade spirit stones."
Hearing it costs eleven lower grade spirit stones a day, Grandpa and Grandma complained, asking the couple to save such money for Xiaoyue or spend it on better food and drinks for the family.
"Mom, it’s fine." Miaomiao spoke up for her husband.
"Wow, has brother-in-law struck it rich recently?"
"Dashu, you and your motor mouth, let’s go inside." The old man glared at his son. Then, the brother-in-law clicked his tongue and went inside.
Miaomiao was the youngest of three siblings, and Jiang Dashu was the eldest, making him Su Mu’s brother-in-law. Jiang Dashu had always looked down on Su Mu because a wealthy second-generation lad at Linjiang Base once pursued Miaomiao.
That guy was the son of Jiang Dashu’s factory boss, but in the end, Miaomiao and the old man both favored Su Mu, the poor guy.
The dream of becoming a brother-in-law to a rich man was dashed, and since then, the brother-in-law had always found Su Mu displeasing, often picking on him.
Su Mu, out of gratitude to the old man, never argued with his brother-in-law, not wanting to trouble the old man, as one was a son, the other a son-in-law.
"Old woman, Xiaoyue and Su Mu are back today, go kill a goose to cook."
"Dad, Mom, let me do it. Plus, I brought some Fierce Beast Flesh and vegetables."
"How could we let you, Su Mu, you just got back, go and rest first."
"Dad, Mom, let Su Mu take care of it, he’s a great cook."
"Yes, Grandpa, Grandma, Daddy’s cooking is the best."
"A proud martial arts student, and now he can only cook." The brother-in-law couldn’t resist a sarcastic remark.
"Shut up and get lost." The old man reprimanded him, then turned on the TV. "Xiaoyue, let’s watch some TV, shall we?"
Moments later, Grandma’s voice called from the kitchen.
"Everyone outside, clean up and get ready to eat. Su Mu is really good at this."
Dish after dish, delectably presented, was soon served, even the brother-in-law who loved to pick on people couldn’t find any words. Miaomiao served everyone rice, except her big brother.
"Brother, you can serve yourself." Miaomiao was standing up for Su Mu.
"Xiaoyue, why don’t you help your uncle with the rice?"
Though Jiang Dashu looked down on Su Mu, he was quite good to Xiaoyue. Usually, she would help, but this time Xiaoyue pretended not to hear, burying her head in her goose leg.
The brother-in-law wore a stiff expression and muttered something before taking matters into his own hands.
"Don’t watch TV while eating, old man, turn it off."
The old man was about to turn it off when he froze. "Old woman, am I seeing things? Come look, that person on TV looks exactly like Su Mu, as if they were cast from the same mold..."
Hearing this, everyone turned to look. The TV was rebroadcasting last night’s news.
"Grandpa, Grandma, that’s my dad. Yesterday when Dad came back, a lot of people wanted to interview him and they even put a big red flower on us..."
"Look, that’s Xiaoyue, and there’s Mom, our whole family is on TV!"
