"Hmm, not only did I make a breakthrough, but Xiao Hei also broke through its bottleneck. It can now speak just like Old Jin," An Yiqing said, reaching down to lift Xiao Hei from her feet with a smile, and softly spoke to everyone.
"Oh? It can speak now?"
Everyone’s eyes widened with curiosity as they looked at Xiao Hei, which was hiding in An Yiqing’s arms and also looking back at them, their faces filled with anticipation.
"Xiao Hei, could you say something for us to hear, please?" Kong Shi gently stroked Xiao Hei’s little head and asked tenderly.
Xiao Hei’s round, amber eyes blinked, and as it looked at Kong Shi, it opened its mouth and a sweet, childlike voice came out, "Mother An, it’s been days since I’ve seen you, and you’ve become even prettier."
Xiao Hei’s voice was sweet and childlike, it sounded both silly and adorable.
Upon hearing Xiao Hei’s voice, Kong Shi instantly fell in love with it, hastily taking Xiao Hei into her arms from An Yiqing’s embrace.
"It really can talk! Xiao Hei is so cute!" Kong Shi said joyfully as she gently petted Xiao Hei’s little head.
Old Jin, who had been lying on the ground, heard this and immediately felt unhappy. In one leap, it jumped onto Kong Shi’s lap, and with an equally soft and sweet voice asked, "Mother An, Old Jin is also cute!"
"Yes, yes, yes, both of you darlings are cute!" Kong Shi couldn’t help but laugh heartily, growing fonder and fonder of the two as she watched Old Jin and Xiao Hei.
After a pleasant and casual chat, the conversation gradually became more serious.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, big brother, second brother, during my recent retreat, I brought back a manual for you all. You should start cultivating according to this manual. It’s a technique I realized from my own cultivation technique. It’s very powerful, and if cultivated well, it will be of great help when facing enemies in the future," An Yiqing said as her right hand magically conjured a manual that suddenly appeared in her hand, leaving everyone in the An Family astounded and speechless.
"Is, is, is... Is this magic?" Old Lady An asked, rubbing her eyes incredulously and stuttering.
"Grandma, this is not magic. This is a treasure I got at the auction, a portable space. I can put many things inside at any time. Look!"
As she spoke, An Yiqing picked up a cup from the coffee table. With a thought, the cup vanished instantly. Then, under the watchful eyes of the An Family, another thought from An Yiqing, and the cup reappeared in her hands.
"My goodness! That’s amazing! There’s such a treasure in the world!" An Zisheng gasped in astonishment and deeply marveled.
"This world is full of mysteries. Although humans are the masters of Earth, they are certainly not the creatures that most understand Earth," Old Master An sighed with a serious expression and earnestly warned An Yiqing, "Yiqing, this matter, aside from our family and your master, must not be known to others, or it will bring endless trouble. Human hearts are perilous and those driven by greed and vanity are capable of extreme malice. Remember, never reveal your space in front of strangers!"
An Yiqing nodded obediently and promised solemnly, "Grandpa, don’t worry. Other than you and master, no one else knows about this. I will not allow anyone who threatens our family’s lives to exist."
"That’s good. You’re a clever and thoughtful child, Grandpa is relieved," Old Master An said with a sigh of relief, his gaze filled with relief.
An Yiqing, feeling warm as she looked at her relieved family members, took Old Master An’s arm and playfully said, "Grandpa, this space is called the Ancient Space. It was left behind by the Ancient Great Deity Shennong Shi thousands of years ago. When I first acknowledged it with my blood, I inherited his mantle and learned many skills. The manual I gave to everyone is what I understood from his ’Shennong Nine Styles’."
