Chapter 195 - 195: Overflowing Motherly Love
The place Ah Yan brought them to was indeed not far away. Logically speaking, there should not be any ferocious beasts. Once the Ning Family’s people calmed down, they started doing serious things.
After perfunctorily helping Xiaoxiao dig up a few unfamiliar plants, the few of them gathered firewood and wild vegetables. Ning Anhui almost wanted to go down and fish when he saw a wild pond.
Xiaoxiao was not greedy. After settling the main goal of this trip, she did not ask to go deeper. Instead, she spent 200 points to exchange for two sets of seeds and casually scattered some. This way, it would be more logical for her to grow the ingredients she had used in the mountains in the future.
The moment the seed landed, Xiaoxiao suddenly heard a “ding” from the space.
[Hidden mission completed—Growth of All Things. Reward: 5,000 points for triggering a new mission. Current total points: 9,900!]
The surprise came too suddenly, and Xiaoxiao couldn’t hold back her smile. Her eyes immediately lit up and she continued to cast it elsewhere, but the space didn’t continue to send out notifications.
Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and closed her eyes to lean against the tree trunk. In fact, she sank her mind into the space.
As most of the vegetable seeds could be bought outside, she did not consider the exchange list in the space too much. However, since she could trigger the mission, she had no choice but to try again.
[Exchange for one set of cucumber seeds.]
The space’s reaction was very fast: [Exchange successful. 50 points used.
Current points balance is 9,850.]
Xiaoxiao followed suit and threw out the seeds.
[Completed the regular mission of Growth of All Things. Reward: 100 points. Current total points are 9,950.]
This was not a loss. Xiaoxiao, who had a lot of research spirit, flipped through the list and realized that there was actually a pattern to the price of the space seed. She tried to spend 200 points to exchange for a set of pepper seeds to plant. The space notification was clearer and happier than usual.
[Exchange successful. Current points balance is 9,650.]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the introduction of a new species. You have received a new mission trigger reward of 5,000 points. Current total points are 14,650! Master, Master, you’re too awesome!]
It was really lucky to meet its master who took the initiative to explore the mission!
Xiaoxiao also felt so happy that she came out to take a walk. Her gains were too great. It seemed like it was not that difficult to upgrade the space again?
She could not control herself at all from continuing to explore. She immediately spent another 100 points to exchange for a portion of peppercorns and planted them as usual.
The space was extremely happy: [Exchange successful. Current balance: 14,550!]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the regular mission of Growth of All Things. You have received 200 points. Current total points are 14,750!]
Xiaoxiao probed: [Does this space-time already have peppercorns?]
The space answered readily: [Master’s guess is right. However, peppercorns, cumin, and tomatoes are all foreign products. They’re not that common in Great Xia.]
Xiaoxiao asked again: [So if I find another seed that doesn’t belong to this time and space like peppers, I can obtain a large reward again?]
This time, the space was silent. Xiaoxiao knew that it couldn’t say it out loud.
However, sometimes silence was the best answer. She went to the space to exchange for some seeds without hesitation.
There was not much scattered every time, but after a few attempts, she did not discover any new species. It was true that the space said Great Xia was rich in resources when she first bound to it.
However, Xiaoxiao was not disappointed. This was because even if there were already local breeds to begin with, the space would still reward points according to the usual missions. After a few attempts, she also obtained a lot. [Current total points: 16,500!]
If not for the fact that it would be strange for this small piece of land to be too abundant, she could continue on.
After trying more than half of the vegetable seeds, Xiaoxiao shifted her attention to the space farmland.
[Precious Space, help me move one of the Golden Silk Royal Chrysanthemums out.]
The space wished it could put a fireworks display to celebrate. Really! It tried its best to keep calm and play the notification.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the introduction of a new species. You have received 5,000 points. Current total points are 21,500!]
The corners of Xiaoxiao’s lips curled up in satisfaction. So that was the case. There were enough vegetable varieties. She could still think about other things. Indeed, her thoughts could not be limited. Fortunately, she was smart enough!
Just as she was about to continue exploring, she suddenly felt a little dizzy.
[Master, using space consumes spiritual power. I suggest you rest for a while.]
Xiaoxiao knew very well that haste makes waste. She rubbed her temples and stopped.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of familiar amber eyes. These eyes were filled with worry. “Are you feeling unwell?”
Xiaoxiao said happily, “Maybe I’m a little exhausted from playing too much?”
As expected, she was still a child. Rong Yan greeted the others and brought Xiaoxiao to a tree stump not far away.
This tree must have been quite old before it was cut down. The two of them did not find it crowded sitting on it. Xiaoxiao raised her hand to hide the light that came down because there was no canopy to cover it. Before she could complete her actions, she felt a shadow fall over her.
Little Big Brother Ah Yan, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up and “coincidentally” blocked the light for her.
Xiaoxiao propped her chin on her hand and looked at his back. Her small mouth started to chatter. “Little Big Brother, whoever marries you in the future, will be someone who has a blessing accumulated from three lifetimes.” He was good-looking and meticulous and gentle. Tsk, looking at him made her motherly love overflow.
Little Big Brother didn’t react, and she didn’t know if he didn’t hear her. Xiaoxiao was a little sleepy. She narrowed her eyes and started to nod. Rong Yan restrained the heat that was about to surge on his face. No one noticed that on the other tree behind them, there was a smear of green on the branch that shook and suddenly fell towards them.
Rong Yan immediately turned around when he heard the sound and saw that the small green snake had landed on the tree stump. It was only an arm’s length away from Ning Xiaoxiao. His pupils constricted and he rushed over to pounce on Xiaoxiao without thinking.
“Master!” A guard exclaimed. Rong Yan was surprised to find that he did not feel the snake’s bite. He turned his head and saw that the little green snake’s tongue was restrained by two small hands halfway through its tongue.
These two hands worked together. One was strangling its vitals, and the other was strangling its neck, making it unable to move at all.
Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan, who was close to her, stared at each other. At such a close distance, she could not help but see the rapid change on his fair face.
Aiya, she didn’t realize by reflex just now that her hands went around Little Big Brother’s neck to catch the snake. Wasn’t this a hug?
Rong Yan also froze. He had never had such intimate contact with the opposite sex since he could remember. The fragrance of a girl wafted over. His first reaction was to hold his breath and hold his arms beside her to avoid offending her.
The loyal guard, Yun Er, stopped halfway with his sword. He did not know if he should go forward or not. His eyes rolled around non-stop.
Yun Yi, who was originally in charge of his personal guard, threw away the mint leaves and knelt on one knee. “I have failed in my duty.. Master, please punish me!”
