135: Xuan Jin's Exclusive Dream Shattered

Nan Zhisui tore open a bag of corn seeds with a rustle.

“The Seal is broken!”

Lu Ming watched curiously as Nan Zhisui poured the seeds into his hand.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at him and said, “Should we clear the Wasteland and plant them now?”

Under her gaze, Lu Ming's heart beat a little faster. He held the seeds, felt them, and nodded in approval, “No problem. But if you want them to grow well, they need more soil and more nutrients.”

Since she had already categorized Lu Ming as a Beastman within her Family, Nan Zhisui stopped hiding her abilities.

She took out a few tools from her Space, handing one of the Hoes to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming watched as she suddenly produced tools he had never seen before, his pupils constricting slightly. He couldn't help but ask, “Sui Sui, where did you take out such large things from?”

Nan Zhisui replied, “I have a package that holds things. It can store quite a lot.”

Lu Ming circled her, examining her thoroughly, and said, “But I don't see such a large package on you.”

Nan Zhisui casually patted his head, “It's a Space. It's only tiny on me, but it's actually incredibly large and can hold a lot of things.”

Lu Ming stared steadily at her for a long time. “That's amazing.”

“What's so amazing about this? Although it's slightly higher technology than Earth, it's still just technology,” Nan Zhisui said. “In places with developed technology, there are also Cars. People sit inside Cars, fill them up with fuel, and they run.”

Lu Ming's eyes lit up. “Car?”

“A thing with four wheels.”

“Wheels?”

Nan Zhisui simply took out her motorcycle. “Look, although this isn't a Car, it also runs on fuel and wheels. This is a motorcycle.”

Lu Ming's eyes grew even brighter.

Nan Zhisui put the motorcycle back into the Space.

Her Space only held this one precious motorcycle; she couldn't let it get damaged.

Lu Ming was a little reluctant, but he temporarily put away all his curiosity and used a Shovel to dig and turn the soil.

“Pretty Older Sister, you have Space, you have power. Don't you consider developing properly?”

Nan Zhisui asked, “Develop what?”

“An Empire.”

Nan Zhisui was completely confused: “?”

“What nonsense are you thinking in your head?”

“I think this world is missing an Empire.”

“Pretty Older Sister, why don't you just become the Empress?”

Nan Zhisui: “...” She knew it. This Little Cub was mature like an adult.

Nan Zhisui, who had no interest in internal competition: “That's enough. Kids shouldn't dream Impossible Dreams. By the way, where did you learn words like 'Empire' and 'Empress'?”

Lu Ming pointed to his own head. “I thought of them myself.”

“...” What a strange brain. She really wanted to dig it out and look.

She might not even stay in this world for long. An Empire? An Empress?

She was a university student who barely scraped into a 985 school. Was she worthy?

She was only fit for farming.

Nan Zhisui didn't consider that the few beast husbands she had contracted were all Lord-level existences on the Eastern Continent, meaning she already possessed the conditions to unify the East.

But at this very moment, Nan Zhisui, who possessed the conditions to rule the East, was diligently farming with the cub.

After she finished clearing the Wasteland, she planted the corn seeds, watered them a little, and the job was done.

Just as she clapped her hands, preparing to finish work, the Little Deer Cub, who was only six years old, squatted on the ground, supporting himself with both hands on the soil.

Nan Zhisui looked over curiously. “Lu Ming, what are you doing?”

Just then, a trace of sacred green power flowed from Lu Ming's hands, enveloping this piece of land.

Next, Nan Zhisui suddenly felt that all the Life here had been activated, though she didn't know why.

“Done.” Lu Ming also clapped his hands. “They are all quite healthy.”

“...” Nan Zhisui's mouth twitched. This was what he meant by knowing how to farm?

“Is this your Supernatural Ability?”

Lu Ming nodded obediently. “Yes.”

“What attribute is it? Plant? Wood element?”

Lu Ming hesitated before answering, “I'm not sure. I think it's Life.”

“...That's impossible.” It wasn't that Nan Zhisui didn't believe the cub, she just couldn't believe it.

Even a Plant-type Supernatural Ability was already incredibly awesome!

If it was a Life-type Supernatural Ability, wouldn't that be defying the heavens?!!!

She asked, “How long will it take for them to grow and bear fruit?”

If she remembered correctly, it should take four or five months for a corn seed to grow and bear fruit.

Lu Ming's beautiful Little face was covered in dirt. “The soil here is rich in nutrients, they should be fully grown by tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow???” Did she understand that correctly?

Lu Ming chuckled twice, patted the shocked Nan Zhisui with his small hand, and then diligently buried the weeds he had just hoed into the nearby soil, covering them up.

The Little fellow looked up again, gazing at Nan Zhisui like a miniature adult. “Sui Sui, bury these weeds in the ground, they will soften and turn black, and then they will become the food that plants love to eat.

We've finished everything here. Shall we go? And come back tomorrow?”

Nan Zhisui's mind was still reeling.

Actually, she understood a bit of what Lu Ming was doing—plants and animals fermenting into nutritious Humus, which plants absorb to grow big and healthy.

But she only knew some of this because she had learned the knowledge of her ancestors.

How did this Little Deer know this? Did he know it naturally, or was someone teaching him?

Also, the green power when he touched the ground with both hands—it must really be Life Force, right? And also, could her corn really grow fully by tomorrow? That couldn't be right.

Nan Zhisui stared blankly at the land behind her.

The Little fellow asked, “Sui Sui, aren't you leaving?”

Nan Zhisui: “...Coming!”

Nan Zhisui followed.

On the way back, the Little fellow walked backward, blocking the path with stones and clearing away the traces of their passage.

Lu Ming turned back. “Sui Sui, why are you staring at me?”

“N-nothing. Also, don't call me Sui Sui.”

Little Deer Ming said, “When people are around, I call you Pretty Older Sister. When no one is around, I prefer calling you Sui Sui. Sui Sui sounds closer.”

Nan Zhisui tapped his small head. “So disrespectful.”

Just after they left, the corn shoots in the Valley burst through the Humus, scrambling to break through the soil.

They frantically absorbed the nutrients in the soil.

The emerald-colored stalks trembled as they grew... Inside the Cave.

The Snake Beastman, Xuan Jin, stood with his arms crossed, watching the Little Deer Cub beside him with cold eyes.

He just went to dig some ore, and now there was an extra cub at home.

Where did this Little Cub come from?

How many days had he had the Little Female all to himself?!

How many days had his dream of exclusive possession lasted!!

Where did this Little Cub come from!!!!

The sky is falling, he's going to crack up!!!!

The Little Deer Cub tidied up a small area for himself. He moved his belongings from his own small Cave next door, arranging them with a few small beast skins.

He wasn't afraid of this snake.

He had already been acknowledged by her; he was a Beastman of this Family. Even this snake shouldn't think about driving him away.

Xuan Jin asked Nan Zhisui with a slightly unpleasant expression, “Little Female, did you pick this up outside? A weak, Weak Beastman cub?”

“Yes. He's a cub who grew up in the Mining Area. I named him Lu Ming,” Nan Zhisui chuckled. “Don't look down on him just because he's small; he's a Clever Little Imp and very capable.”

Hearing Nan Zhisui's praise, Little Deer Ming curled his lips.

“Lu Ming, this is my beast husband, named Xuan Jin. You can call him Father Xuan Jin from now on.”

The Little Deer lowered his head slightly, his long hair obscuring his eyes.

His Father Beast is dead.

Even if he is Mother's beast husband.

Right now, he doesn't want to call anyone 'Father'... Everyone's guesses are increasing.

So I'll spoil a little bit.

Lu Ming is the second child.

His situation is quite special; he wouldn't survive if he wasn't clever.

The most precocious one.

The reason he painstakingly approached Nan Zhisui was actually because he recognized her.

(Little Deer's thoughts: Mother is finally here! I want to join Mother's Family! I want Mother to like me!)

He is still in the process of getting familiar with Nan Zhisui... Growing up alone in an environment like the Mining Area, he learned from a young age not to let himself suffer losses.

He uses his brain to figure out how to survive.

Quite precocious.

This situation will slowly improve once he gains a sense of security.
