Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

Chapter 5 That smile was fleeting, as if it had never appeared

The next day, the morning light was dim and the sun was rising...

After a night of training in space, Han Yan rubbed his sore shoulders and neck, and opened the door yawning.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, Zhang Qiling, who lived next door, opened the door and came out.

The moment she heard the sound of the door opening, the sleepy Han Yan instantly opened her eyes wide, put on her best attitude and stood there waiting for him to come out.

"Good morning, little brother!" She smiled slightly and waved to greet him.

Zhang Qiling glanced at her indifferently, walked around her and went straight out.

[Host, you are being ignored. At this rate, when will you be able to complete the first mission? ]

Why rush? It will be done, it's just a matter of time!

Zhang Hanyan pursed her lips in indignation, lifted her skirt and walked down the stairs, then ran to catch up with Zhang Qiling, following closely behind him.

"Brother, what do you want to eat for breakfast after training? By the way, how did you sleep last night? Did you get used to your bed and couldn't fall asleep?

"Little brother, is the quilt on your bed warm when you sleep? If not, I have a few new quilts in my room. How about I bring them to you when I go back later?"

On the way to the training ground, Zhang Hanyan was patient and chattered with Zhang Qiling.

Even though Zhang Qiling never paid any attention to her...

Zhang Hanyan looked at Zhang Qiling, who always had a cold face, and kept repeating in his heart, mission first, mission first, just bear with it and it will be over.

She kept brainwashing herself so that she didn't get so angry as to turn around and leave.

When the two of them walked to the training ground, Zhang Yecheng was already standing under the eaves waiting for them. Judging from the snow and wind on his shoulders, he must have been waiting for a long time.

"Stop dawdling! Hurry up! The two of you, stand on the plum blossom pile together!"

The two men walked up as they were told and fought against each other. The falling snowflakes fell on their bodies, whitening their hair and soaking their clothes.

"Go ahead and attack each other. Today, the two of you will decide the winner on this plum blossom pile!"

"Why?" Zhang Hanyan asked puzzledly.

Zhang Yecheng stared at the two similar figures, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his gaze was dark and unclear.

"Win, eat. Lose, go hungry! Practice more! I want to know the exact difference between you two."

Zhang Hanyan wanted to refute, but before she could open her mouth, Zhang Qiling had already attacked her, and judging by the strength of his attack, there was no chance of her survival.

She didn't have time to say anything else and could only respond quickly.

The two men walked on plum blossom piles of varying heights, and every move they made showed their ruthlessness and cruelty.

Zhang Hanyan walked to the edge of the plum blossom pile, and Zhang Qiling struck out with a palm, hitting her right shoulder blade.

She fell backward suddenly and fell onto the snow pile below. The soft snow quickly buried her small body and disappeared without a trace.

When Zhang Qiling saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he looked down at his right hand with a little shock.

I clearly didn't use my full strength, so why did she fall?

Every move between them fell into Zhang Yecheng's eyes. He looked at Zhang Hanyan struggling in the snow pile, and a hint of understanding flashed across his eyes.

"Okay, Qi Ling wins. Qi Ling and I are going to have dinner, and Han Yan will stay here to practice more... for one hour!"

"what!"

Zhang Hanyan screamed, suddenly stood up from the snow pile, shook her head and shook off the snowflakes on her head.

"One hour? Old man, aren't you going too far? I'm still growing!"

Zhang Yecheng was amused by her appearance, "Originally, we didn't have to practice for such a long time, but you should know why!"

Zhang Qiling walked down from the plum blossom pile, his eyes lingering on her for a moment. In just that short moment, he had taken in the little expression on her face.

"If I don't want to eat, then don't eat. It's just a meal, I can bear it!"

She lowered her head and muttered something that was easily heard by Zhang Yecheng who was walking over.

He curled his lips and chuckled, leaning closer to her, "It's not one meal, it's three meals. You can't eat anything today, you can only drink water."

Zhang Hanyan raised her head in surprise, glared at Zhang Yecheng, and said with gritted teeth.

"Isn't it just skipping a meal for a day? It's no big deal! Humph!"

"Haha... the little girl is still quite stubborn. In this case, Qi Ling, let's go and ignore her."

Zhang Yecheng left with a smile and the expressionless Zhang Qiling, leaving only the angry Zhang Hanyan standing there.

"Remember to practice more, don't try to be lazy!"

Zhang Yecheng walked to the door and shouted. Zhang Hanyan, who was already angry, suddenly felt even angrier.

She walked to the lower plum blossom pile and moved up step by step.

The moment Zhang Qiling walked through the gate of the courtyard as he was leaving, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Zhang Hanyan who was training alone.

Zhang Hanyan, who had not eaten breakfast or lunch, sat alone under the eaves of the training ground, looking up at the falling snow in a daze.

Hey, I'm hungry, Tong, don't you have any food in your mall? Huh? This kid's body is too vulnerable to hunger...

[Host, you could have won just now, but you lost on purpose. Now you feel better, you have been hungry for two meals.

Please stop looking at me like that. Even if there is food in my mall, you don’t have any points. Without points, you can’t buy anything. 】

Zhang Hanyan looked up at the sky in silence. When she deliberately lost, she never thought that Zhang Yecheng would actually be willing to let a three-year-old child like her go hungry.

Tongzi, how do you calculate your points?

[Points can be accumulated based on the completion and difficulty of the task. If not used, they can be kept in the balance and used to purchase expensive items. ]

Do you have steamed buns? How many points are there for one?

[Two points, the problem is, you don’t have any points...]

Zhang Hanyan leaned back against the pillar in frustration, looked at the setting sun, sighed softly, stood up and walked back.

She dragged her tired body to push open the door, and two snow-white steamed buns on the table came into view.

"Steamed bun?"

She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, making sure it wasn't an hallucination caused by hunger.

When she confirmed again and again that the steamed buns on the table were real, she looked around at the dark night and couldn't help but smile.

"Humph, I thought the old man really wanted me to starve. If I had known there were steamed buns in the house, I would have come back earlier."

Zhang Hanyan walked in, sat down on the stool, picked up the steamed bun and started to eat it. She was so hungry that she didn't care whether the bun was hot or cold.

Zhang Qiling, standing in the dark, looked at Zhang Hanyan who was eating voraciously, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

The smile disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.

[Ding Dong - Congratulations to the host for completing the first task. Fifty points are awarded. The points have been deposited into the balance. The host can check the balance of points by himself. ]

Zhang Hanyan, with cheeks puffy like a little hamster, widened her eyes in confusion, not understanding why the first task was suddenly shown as completed.
