Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

Chapter 1970: Chapter 1968: Cutting a Hole in the Ice on the Lake

At this time, Gu Qiaoqiao was no longer worried.

Her grateful eyes turned to Gu Junbai, who humorously waved at her, "Stay here with Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei for two days, I want to closely observe the effects after Xiao Bao’s usage..."

After all, this was his first time using information and power from the inheritance to do something like this. Although he had simulated it countless times before, he even predicted what the effects would be after doing it.

The result was quite satisfactory to him, but still, nothing is perfect. As it’s the first time, it’s very necessary to have Xiao Bao stay here for a few days for observation.

Gu Qiaoqiao nodded cheerfully, and as it was already noon, she happily went to the kitchen to cook. She also took the opportunity to call Qin Yize, informing him that they wouldn’t be returning to the Imperial Capital for the next two days, as she and the kids would stay at Qiaoze Ranch for a few days.

Qin Yize was silent for a moment before he told Qiaoqiao to feel at ease there with the children. If he finishes his work, he’ll come to accompany them; if not, he’ll come to pick them up.

Just as Qin Yize finished saying that, he was rudely refused by Gu Qiaoqiao, "It’s just two days, you don’t need to come. You’re so busy with work, there’s no need to rush. We’ll be back in two days."

On the other end, Qin Yize was silent for a while, so Gu Qiaoqiao had to soften her tone, saying, "I really mean nothing else, don’t overthink it. Two days will fly by." Then, with a mischievous look in her eyes, she added, "Ah Ze, be good, and I’ll make you something delicious when I get home."

Qin Yize couldn’t help but chuckle. If his wife were beside him, he would definitely hold her in his arms and give her a kiss, but being hundreds of miles away, he said helplessly, "Alright then."

The two of them continued chatting sweetly for a while before each ended the call.

Meanwhile, Qin Yize suddenly had an idea. Shouldn’t his research direction for the cellphone focus on developing visual phones?

If he could see Qiaoqiao’s image while on the phone, wouldn’t that ease the pain of longing?

Even thousands of miles away wouldn’t be a distance!

Thus, Qin Yize gained new ideas and motivation.

Of course, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know any of this. With her matters resolved, she happily cooked in the kitchen.

The vegetables and meats here were plentiful, and she planned to cook a big meal to reward Uncle and Ling Nan well.

At this moment, Uncle didn’t let Xiao Bao play indoors but patiently dressed him, took him outside, and went horseback riding.

After Gu Junbai and Ling Nan left last time, Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao’s horses were fostered with the Special Preparation Team in Wangbei Town.

With Ling Nan returning this time, he naturally fetched them back.

There’s also a stable here, and plenty of forage for the horses.

And here, horseback riding was much more convenient than driving.

By now, Ling Nan, along with the giggling Xiao Bei, Xiao Bai, and White Wolf, had ridden several laps.

The once quiet Qiaoze Ranch, due to the presence of two children, had become extraordinarily lively. Add in Xiao Bai and White Wolf, who almost blended into the surrounding snow, and Qiaoze Ranch was busier than ever before.

In the ranch’s courtyard, Ling Nan helped the children build snowmen, not only snowmen but shapes of White Wolf and Xiao Bai too. The two snowmen stood left and right at the gate, with a carrot nose, straw hats, and scarves, looking particularly cute.

Meanwhile, the kitchen was bustling with activity as Gu Qiaoqiao was busy cooking.

There were no electrical appliances in the kitchen, only a large stove, using firewood, but the dishes cooked this way were exceptionally fragrant, making Gu Junbai’s smile extend to his eyes even as he ate lunch.

In the afternoon, Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei were so absorbed in playing that they skipped their nap, following Ling Nan to Crescent Lake. Although it was icy and snowy at the lake, the water at the bottom was still fluid, with a few fish swimming around underneath.

These are true cold-water fish.

They cut a hole in the ice with a pick and put in a special fishing net, as hardly anyone came here, Crescent Lake was full of fish, and they caught half a bucket in no time. In the evening, Gu Qiaoqiao made Sauce Small Fish, her specialty and everyone’s favorite, with a delicious taste and rich sauce aroma, paired with crystal-clear rice and a few stir-fried small dishes, making for an exceptionally tasty meal.

In the evening, they sat together and spoke about cellphones.

The ranch had no electricity; for charging, they had to go to town. However, they rarely used their phones. Moreover, the Qin Group’s phone could last twelve hours per charge.

This was a world-leading usage time.

It was also where the Chenxing brand phone excelled.

Currently, there are a few large brands abroad, but they lagged behind, so the Qin Group’s phone was unquestionably number one in the world.

Nowadays, the special phone Qin Yize made for the Mystic Sect had started production, and after Nie Luan used it for a month, it yielded unexpected results.

Not only could it be powered by spiritual energy, but it was also excellent at capturing wireless signals, meaning it could maintain call status even slightly away from a signal tower.

Gu Junbai told Gu Qiaoqiao that if what she described was true, it was a bit like the old Cultivation World’s communication devices.

Moreover, this was reusable, unlike the disposable ones.

Then, Ling Nan took Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei around, while Gu Junbai felt that since Gu Qiaoqiao had mastered the Second Layer, she should begin training in the Third Layer. Otherwise, it would be disadvantageous for her to use the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation, and the same applied to him.

Currently, their Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation allowed them to see spiritual bodies and communicate with living beings possessing spiritual senses, but they couldn’t unlock the past of some unconscious spiritual bodies.

Thus, when sending them into reincarnation or dispersing them, mistakes were inevitable, so mastering the Third Layer was essential.

Gu Qiaoqiao stayed there for three more days.

By practicing with Uncle, they could often exchange ideas. Uncle even set up formations, those formations could gather spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and the spiritual energy at Qiaoze Ranch was already quite abundant.

After all, there were no inhabitants nearby, only dense grasslands, along with boundless hills and forests. It should be said to be away from the city yet not remote.

Though the spiritual energy here wasn’t top-notch, it was several times better than the Imperial Capital, so they both mastered the Third Layer.
