Chapter 50: Eri's Journey (Part )
Xia Mi didn’t know whether other dragon kings had the ability, but she didn’t have it anyway.

Zhang Baiqing didn't get the answer he wanted from the magical Xia Mi, so he had to think of another way.

After opening the door and taking a look at Eri, who was full of energy and still concentrating on playing King of Fighters, he closed the door to practice Dark Light and Spark. The other four Word Spirits were invisible, so he could practice them openly outside, but it was not convenient to be invisible and play with fire, so he had to practice in the room.

The next day, Zhang Baiqing was awakened by a crackling sound. He got up and looked out, and saw Eiry playing a symphony in the kitchen using various kitchen utensils.

On the table, Eri stirred the porridge that was a little mushy and silently raised the note: "It seems simple, so I want to give it a try."

"Ah." Zhang Baiqing sighed, "It's really simple, but you still need to practice more. Let me cook it again, and you can learn how to control the heat."

He poured out the porridge and vegetables, and in the kitchen, he pressed Eri, who wanted to make amends, down where she was, and asked her to watch first.

After a set of smooth operations, two simple side dishes and porridge were cooked. Zhang Baiqing brought the dishes to the table and said, "Try it again at noon or in the evening. I will teach you step by step."

Eri nodded like a little chicken.

After breakfast, Zhang Baiqing prepared to go for exercise. Eri held up the note again: "I want to go out for exercise, too! I don't want to play games."

He did not refuse and started to put makeup on her. Eri sat quietly in front of the mirror, watching herself in the mirror gradually become another person in Zhang Baiqing's hands.

This time he was experienced, and did not draw Eri to look bad. He just lowered the grade of Eri's originally beautiful face and added some mortal flaws.

"Okay."

Zhang Baiqing patted the remaining facial powder on his hands.

"You are so awesome!"

Eri held up the post-it note. She had witnessed his progress with her own eyes, which was extremely fast, changing every day.

Zhang Baiqing didn't get so excited about being praised by a beautiful woman, because he was not Lu Mingfei.

"Go, get out."

Because he brought Eri with him, he had to drive away from Genji Heavy Industries when he was exercising nearby. Now that he was out, he drove directly to the beach to exercise.

Fresh sea breeze, early birds, Eri happily noted down this scene and planned to paint it when she got home tonight.

When he was running and boxing, Eri followed him closely and learned from him. But when he sat down to practice the Epic of Mountains and Rivers, the Snake of Vacuum, the Kamaitachi, and the Pure Soul, Eri froze for a moment. She blinked her eyes, then sat down and closed her eyes.

"Keep practicing, Soul Purification experience +1."

More than an hour later, the Soul Purification experience was credited. He opened his eyes, stood up and exhaled.

“Is this a practice?”

Eri wrote and asked him. Zhang Baiqing nodded and added, "It is indeed a kind of practice."

"But why can't I feel anything? Am I too stupid?!" She was a little discouraged. She also wanted to practice and be healthy.

"This..." Zhang Baiqing was speechless. He didn't expect that she really believed it. She didn't look that stupid.

"Maybe your chance has not come yet."

"Oh!" Eri was a little dejected, but that's what they said on TV, if the opportunity hasn't come, no matter how hard you try, it's useless. It was two hours after the exercise, so Zhang Baiqing took her to buy groceries and asked her, "What do you want to eat?"

Eri wrote quickly: "I'll cook lunch! What should I cook?"

"Then let's steam the fish, stir-fry the vegetables, stir-fry the vegetables with meat, and then have a soup."

In addition to various dishes and common Japanese food such as noodle soup and sushi, Japanese cuisine also has Chinese-style stir-fried dishes.

After buying vegetables and returning home, Zhang Baiqing slowly taught her how to cook in the kitchen, controlling the heat, seasoning, stir-frying time, etc.

When Eri put the food into her mouth, her eyebrows curved, and she was very happy. She excitedly wrote on the note: "I learned it! I will cook for you from now on!"

"Do it if you like." Zhang Baiqing expressed his understanding of Eiry's rush to cook. It was normal for a young lady like this to want to show off a skill she never used.

"Where are you going this afternoon?"

"Fuji!"

"There are no cherry blossoms to see in Mount Fuji right now, right? Do you want to go see the snow?"

Zhang Baiqing has studied Mount Fuji, which was formed by volcanic eruptions. The volcano inside erupts about once every 300 years, and the last eruption was 302 years ago in 1707. Theoretically, the volcano will erupt again within a few decades, and there are already signs of internal pressure buildup.

However, to his disappointment, the data showed that the eruption of Japan's largest active volcano would not directly sink the Japanese island. The volcanic ash and earthquake effects during the eruption could make the Japanese economy worse, but it would not directly cause the Yamato people to die. Moreover, Japan is also actively planning to buy land overseas. If it really erupts, it can also transfer the rich and powerful away.

While he was looking through the information, he saw that the cherry blossoms on Mount Fuji only bloom in March and April. It was only early February now, and there was still a long time before the flowers bloomed. Apart from seeing the snow, there might not even be any flower buds to see.

"Yeah, yeah!" Eri nodded. She didn't actually care whether the cherry blossoms on Mount Fuji were in bloom or not, she just wanted to go and see.

……

Mount Fuji is quite far from Tokyo, and it took more than an hour to drive there, but you can see the snow on the top of Mount Fuji from afar.

Eri said excitedly: "I'm going to buy a drawing board tonight and draw everything I see!"

"Do you have a talent for drawing?" Zhang Baiqing leaned over the steering wheel and turned to look at her, "Don't draw a few stick figures."

He suddenly remembered the saying: If you don't have talent, don't learn to paint from others.

The head of the Uesugi family is definitely not stupid, but to say that he is smart... is a bit inappropriate. He gives people the feeling of a little girl with impaired cognition.

"What is a stick figure?" Eri asked him in confusion.

Zhang Baiqing took the pen from her hand and drew a simple stick figure. "Here, this is the stick figure I drew of you."

When Eri took one look at the crude stick figure, she thought about the scenery in her mind, shook her head frantically and wrote, "I won't draw it that ugly!"

"Then I hope you work hard tonight and draw a beautiful picture. By the way, remember to draw me more handsome!" He gave a little encouragement, and Eri nodded with a firm look when she heard this.

There is really nothing to see at Mount Fuji at this time of year. The cherry trees at the foot of the mountain are all bare. Tourists can be seen taking pictures of this White Head Mountain from afar, but few go deeper.

Zhang Baiqing suspected that Mount Fuji required a ticket to enter, because the Mount Fuji scenic spot does not actually belong to the Japanese government, but is private property. These large tracts of cherry trees are not naturally grown, but planted artificially.
