Yuer, Xiaofang's ability

One day, ten days, half a month...

Time passed minute by minute, and Xiao Fang, not having seen Xiao Fan for a long time, missed him a little.

She looked at Xiao Fan's original spot, where only a book floated, with no one else around.

Tiptoeing and scurrying over, Xiao Fang poked the Chronospace Codex with her hand.

Dragon Ningbing saw this and immediately pulled her back.

Young Master is doing something important; it's better for children not to get close.

"Sister Ning Bing, Daddy, and that beautiful big sister, where did they go?" Xiao Fang asked curiously.

Her small finger was still continuously poking the Chronospace Codex floating in the air.

"Young Master is busy," Dragon Ningbing said, her face looking a bit unnatural as she spoke.

It was truly awkward.

"Sister Ning Bing, why is your face red? Is it hot?"

"No, let's go, don't disturb Young Master."

Dragon Ningbing picked up Xiao Fang, intending to take her away.

Xiao Fang looked at the Chronospace Codex, lost in thought for a long time, feeling a sense of familiarity.

Xiao Fang then said, "Then how long will it be until Daddy can come back?"

Dragon Ningbing thought of the year's time, unable to give a precise number; perhaps he would come out the next day, or perhaps not for decades.

"I don't know."

Xiao Fang asked again, "Sister Ning Bing, is there any way to make Daddy come back sooner?"

Dragon Ningbing said, "There is, but it's very difficult."

"Tell me, maybe Xiao Fang can do it!" Xiao Fang said with high spirits.

Dragon Ningbing saw her like this, thought for a moment, and said, "Young Master is doing something that takes a lot of time and energy; he needs a lot of time."

"Needs time? Perhaps I can buy Daddy some time."

Xiao Fang looked at the Chronospace Codex, a serious expression appearing in her bright, intelligent eyes.

Her gaze was distant, and behind her, a giant hourglass formed by countless stars appeared.

Each star was as tiny as a grain of sand, constantly flowing.

She stretched out her small hand and grabbed at the Chronospace Codex, and the codex fell into her hand.

Her innocent, tender face was incredibly serious.

She chanted mysterious and obscure incantations, and the two ponytails, originally behind her small head, began to sway on their own without wind.

Mysterious Qi fluctuations pushed Dragon Ningbing back more than ten steps, causing the ground to crack significantly before she could barely steady herself.

"Xiao Fang, you..."

Dragon Ningbing said in disbelief, as if an unimaginable scene was unfolding before her eyes.

Dragon Ningbing saw the Chronospace Codex accelerating its page-turning.

The speed was far beyond her imagination.

And the flow rate of time around the Chronospace Codex was almost zero, seeming to be stuck at a certain point in time.

"Internal time acceleration, external time stagnation, is this what you mean by buying time?" Dragon Ningbing exclaimed.

She was astonished by Xiao Fang's ability; to control time with such ease was simply too powerful.

But it was only for a moment.

After about fifteen minutes, Xiao Fang ran out of energy.

Her tender, pretty face was somewhat pale, her lips cracked, and she herself felt a bit drowsy.

Her small, jade-like hands drooped weakly.

She squeezed out a smile and said to Dragon Ningbing:

"Sister Ning Bing, I'm sleepy..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her small body fell forward.

Fortunately, Dragon Ningbing quickly reached out and caught her, preventing her from falling to the ground.

Dragon Ningbing looked at Xiao Fang's pale face, feeling an inexplicable pang of heartache.

Xiao Fang was considered Young Master's adopted daughter, and although she called her Sister Ning Bing, she was practically half her own daughter.

She carried Xiao Fang down and settled her to sleep.

An hour later, two people emerged from the book: Xiao Fan and Qing Yu.

Qing Yu was radiant, her face flushed, like a blooming flower.

This was Xiao Fan's doing.

Without him, the diligent gardener, how could the flowers in the garden bloom so brightly?

Xiao Fan was also refreshed and invigorated, feeling the spring breeze; his time with Revered Master Qing Yu made him very happy.

His Revered Master could tolerate his minor flaws and satisfy his various strange preferences.

Although she would scold him a few times, she would still carry out his requests without hesitation.

This made Xiao Fan feel comfortable and at ease; his obedient Revered Master almost made him collapse from exhaustion.

Fortunately, his Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength had reached Major Achievement, forming a Divine Elephant Physique, coupled with his Ancient [Kidney] Physique, his strength was formidable.

If he remembered correctly, the time they had spent in the book had already exceeded a thousand years.

Xiao Fan estimated that a thousand years in the book was approximately three years outside the book.

He guessed that the Saint Hall Training had already ended.

It was a bit of a shame that he missed the moment to hunt down the Child of Destiny.

Xiao Fan was about to return when he noticed Dragon Ningbing taking care of Xiao Fang while she rested, which surprised him.

Although Xiao Fang's strength wasn't great now, her Physique was there, so there shouldn't have been any problems.

Looking at Xiao Fang's pale face, Xiao Fan's heart tightened; nothing bad happened, did it?

He walked over quickly, and Qing Yu followed his steps forward as well.

Dragon Ningbing saw that it was Xiao Fan, and she stood up and said, "Young Master, you're back."

"What happened to Xiao Fang?" Xiao Fan asked.
