150 One Kick To Heaven! (1/2)

”It's like this. A friend of mine has developed a high tech nano-integrated super-compound fertilizer! That is why the peach trees grew so quickly. The fertilizer is mainly made up of... Erm…even if I explain it to you, you wouldn't understand.”

Chen activated his power of making-up-semi-believable-stories and fired away, ”Anyway, all you need to remember is that this is currently the world's most advanced technology! Our country's highly classified information! Many of our nation's enemies want to get their hands on it! So, if this gets out, we will be sinners in our country's eyes!”

”Oh… How critical! We won't say a word at all! Absolutely not!” Chen's mom's face crumpled in panic, her forehead wet with perspiration.

Chen's dad, on the other hand, wore a grave expression on his face, he said in a stern manner, ”We Chens, will never betray our country! This secret will die with us!”

When both elderlies have expressed their firm positions on the matter, Chen let out a loud sigh of relief. It's a good thing his parents never went to school – and so are easily deceived.

”If anyone asks, we'll tell them that the peach trees were transplanted here. As long as the three of us are on the same page, no one will suspect anything!” said Chen.

”Alright! No problem!” both Chen's parents nodded their heads resolutely.

”Why don't you sit here, I'll go and pluck some peaches for you to taste.” Chen grinned and walked towards the garden.

Their saliva nearly spilled over when they heard that they would get to bite into some of those peaches.

That delicious sweetness of honey peaches had already been deeply imprinted in their hearts. Just thinking of it would invoke a sort of insufferable thirst and hunger.

Very quickly, Chen had picked about a dozen of large round peaches. After he had washed them, he presented them to his parents.

They were not shy at all. They each picked one up and immediately sunk their teeth into the juicy peaches.

Just then, Xiaobai came out of nowhere. His beady eyes were fixed on the peaches sitting on the coffee table.

”Little greedy cat!” Chen laughed, stood up and went to get a bowl from the kitchen. He cut open a peach and placed them in the bowl for Xiaobai.

That little guy was supposed to be an arrogant Frosty Jade Lion Spirit Beast. But when it came to eating, he revealed his true self – gobbling like a hungry pig. His face was covered in peach juice!

What was arrogance? He had already long forgotten it.

”How is it?” Chen picked up another peach.

”It tastes really good! Just as I remembered it! But I feel like there's something missing…” said Chen's dad.

What is missing?

Chen scratched his head and took a bite out of the peach in his hand.

It tasted as it should, mouthwatering – but that comforting feeling… Was missing.

Chen thought about it for a while and realized that he should not be surprised at all.

The honey peaches on Mount Huaguo that Monkey King had stolen were grown on the soil of Pantao Heavenly Garden and has longevity and strengthening effect on the body.

The peaches grown in his own garden would, naturally, not be able to produce the same effect.

”What are you babbling about? Nothing's missing! It tastes exactly the same!” Chen's mom said between bites. ”Xiaobei, go get some more. Later, when Luo comes over to treat your father using acupuncture, give her some to bring home!”

”Oh, she's coming today?” said a baffled Chen.

”She comes every three days! What kind of boyfriend are you? How incompetent!” Chen's mom fumed.

”Listen to your mum! Go get more peaches. It's because of Luo's treatment that I was able to recover! You must pick the biggest and the best one for her!” Chen's dad ordered.

”Er… Okay…” Chen felt troubled. His parents favored Luo so much. Did that mean that he would not even have a place in his family?

*Sob…*

Suddenly, Xiaobai cried, and blinked at Chen, as if saying, I'm here for you.
