Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 1002: Talk with the Family

Ningʼs grandmother asked many different questions to Ely about who she was, where she was from, and many other things.

She and Ning had planned this for a literal hundred years, so there was no question out there that could stump them.

Except one did come up.

”When will I get to see my Great-grandchildren?” the old woman asked.

Ning coughed suddenly, and Ely found it hard to hold in her chuckle. ”Grandma, thatʼs not something you should be asking so suddenly,” he said.

”Thatʼs right, mother. Donʼt go asking the kids something like that. They are still very young,” the Uncle said.

”Young? What young? I had you when I was only 22, and they are way older than that,” the old woman said.

”Donʼt compare the old times to today. Let the kids decide what they want for themselves,” the Uncle said. ”Donʼt listen to her. Do what you want.”

Ning gave a wry smile and said nothing else. Just then, Hi-Ah nudged him to get his attention, which was something he absolutely wanted from this situation.

”What?” Ning asked as she turned around.

”Something is happening there,” she pointed towards the other corner of the room where the only two blue-haired and blue-eyed people were having a staring contest at each other.

One was tall and buff, while the other was small and a child. However, that didnʼt stop the two from glaring at each other.

”Oh, of course, that would happen.” Dragons were proud creatures after all.

”Sorlus, donʼt try to pick a fight with Blue. Youʼll lose,” Ning said.

”Hehe, listen to master, little brat. You are weaker than me. Call me big brother from now on,” Blue said.

”Tsk!” Sorlus clicked his tongue and turned away to leave.

”Wait, I said call me big brother. Donʼt just leave like that,” Blue said before following behind Sorlus.

Ning sighed. ”Can you check on them? Make sure they donʼt fight because of their ego?” he asked Saphandra.

Saphandra sighed. ”Sure,” she said and flew away.

Night sat on the couch, curiously watching the flashing images on the screen which was the cartoon that the spirit and dragon had left playing.

He had no idea what he was looking at, but he was absolutely entranced by it.

Hi-Ah nudged Ning again. ”Cousin, our rooms are full. We donʼt have any more place for all these people,” she said.

”Oh, itʼs fine,” Ning said. ”The other two donʼt sleep at all.”

”Oh,” Hi-Ah was surprised. She looked towards Night and got suspicious. ”Wait, are they… similar to Sorlus?”

Ning smiled and nodded. ”Not exactly, but in a way.”

She couldnʼt believe it at all. ”Where do you find these people?” she asked.

”I found them long ago, and I only just went back to get them,” Ning said. ”Speaking of which, Iʼve been away for nearly 2 months, so why are you still living here? I wouldʼve thought that at least you or your brother would be living in a new house.”

”Weʼve tried looking for one, but the housing market is insanely pricey. You canʼt get a piece of land to build a house on without having to sell your soul to get it,” she said with a sigh. ”Weʼve been fine here anyway, so I didnʼt bother looking for any after the first few days.”

Ning sighed when he heard that. ”Fine, I will go look for a good one soon. It wonʼt really matter what it costs anyway,” he said.

He reached into his storage space and pulled out two mana stones before handing it over to the two of them. ”Iʼm sure you were waiting for this, so have them.

Hi-Ahʼs eyes shined when she finally saw it again. ”Thank you,” she said, but her eyes werenʼt even looking at Ning anymore. Her entire focus was on the mana stone.

Jung-Hee was the same. He was completely entranced by the mana stone and didnʼt even say anything.

The last stone, along with the technique that Ning had provided them with had helped the two brothers and sisters go beyond what they couldʼve reached in the next 5 years had they taken the normal trajectory in life.

However, now, Hi-Ah was an S-ranked Mage, and her brother was also on the very of becoming an S-ranked Mage.

Going from D-rank to S-rank in just 2 months was something Jung-Hee could have never thought of in his entire life.

”Well, I will have to go and make more for dinner now, so just sit around and—”

”Letʼs just order some takeout for today, father,” Jung-Hee said. ”Itʼs too late to make anything anyway.”

”Itʼs alright,” Ning said. ”We ate before we came.”

”But you have to eat something,” Uncle said. ”We canʼt let a daughter who has come home for the first time go to sleep without feeding her anything.”

”Well,” Ning didnʼt know what to say.

”Alright, Jung-Hee. Order some takeouts,” the Uncle said.

”Okay,” Jung-Hee said and pulled out his phone.

”But only for you and your sister. We will feed Ning and daughter-in-law today,” the uncle said.

Jung-Hee shrugged. Takeouts were tastier anyway to him.

”I will go put on dinner,” the Uncle said and stood up to leave.

”Let me help you, Uncle,” Ely said.

”No, no, sit. You donʼt have to do anything,” the Uncle said.

”Why not? Am I not a daughter of this home?” she asked.

The uncle had no retort. ”Alright, fine. Come help me in the kitchen,” he said and continued. Ely went after him.

”Well, Iʼve already eaten, so Iʼm going to sleep,” his grandmother said and left as well.

After they were gone, Ning turned to Hi-Ah and called her closer. ”Tell me, what has happened in the time I was gone?” he asked.

”Well… many things have happened, but I suppose you want the biggest news first,” she said.

”Which is?” Ning asked.

”Another SS-ranked dungeon has formed in Germany a month ago,” she said. ”Until now, many have entered, but none have managed to leave.”
