Ye Xiaoxiao walked along, patting her head, seriously doubting her own brain. How could she have forgotten—she still had her space!
She was so flustered that she had even forgotten about this ultimate cheat tool.
In fact, she didn’t even need to go into the cave—she could have put the children into the space directly, saving herself a lot of trouble.
She pondered how to explain the space to the children. After walking about five kilometers, they saw a herd of wild mountain goats. The children’s eyes lit up: meat!
Their thinking was rather straightforward—starving as they were, they wanted to eat everything in sight, even raw.
Ye Xiaoxiao cautiously approached the goats, using her spiritual power to scan the surroundings. Seeing no one nearby, she commanded the vines to grow rapidly, entangling the goats. A few meters away, she silently thought: Collect. The herd vanished before the children’s eyes.
Soon after, four large wild boars appeared where the goats had been. The children nervously clung to Ye Xiaoxiao. She scanned the area again, ensured no one was around, and used the same method—first trapping the boars, then sending them into the space.
The children were puzzled, not knowing where the prey had gone.
“Amazing, right?!” Ye Xiaoxiao laughed awkwardly, no longer needing to worry about how to explain. She pulled out a silver needle and said seriously, “This is Mom’s ancestral wooden bangle space. You all share my blood, so let’s each drop a little blood to see if you can enter.”
Xiao Anguo first held out his finger, signaling Ye Xiaoxiao to pierce it first. He couldn’t let his siblings face the boars before him—he wanted to go first.
“Xiao Anguo is so brave,” Ye Xiaoxiao said. Xiao Anguo trembled—was he really going to confront the boars first?
Ye Xiaoxiao pricked his finger, pressed it to the wooden bangle, and had him silently say Enter. Xiao Anguo disappeared from sight.
The other children hesitated. They couldn’t let their brother face the boars alone. Ye Xiaoxiao raised the silver needle and asked, “Who’s second?”
Er’er had reason to suspect that the mother before her was a demon—but she had no proof. Thinking quickly, Er’er held out her finger for her mother, wanting to protect her brother.
Sanwa, watching his brother and sister vanish, excitedly shouted, “Mom, it’s my turn, it’s my turn!”
Siwa looked speechless. Silly child, he hadn’t grasped the key point yet—the wild boars were still inside.
Seeing Siwa’s determined expression, ready to follow her siblings to danger, Ye Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. She pricked Siwa’s finger and, at the same time, slipped into the space herself.
As soon as she entered, she heard Sanwa exclaim, “Mom, where is this?” His face was full of excitement. Before him stretched an orchard—an endless orchard!
“Mom, so many fruits! Can we eat them?” Unlike Sanwa’s excitement, Siwa had already forgotten her earlier worries, thinking only about eating.
Ye Xiaoxiao patted Siwa’s head and said flatly, “Yes, you can eat whatever you want. But one thing—you cannot tell anyone about this space!”
She reached out, plucking a few oranges and peeling them one by one for the children. Sweet—so sweet! None of them had ever tasted oranges before.
Ye Xiaoxiao herself was visiting the space for the first time since her rebirth. Were the fruits she had planted in her previous life already ripe? She gave herself a puzzled look.
“Mom, what about the wild goats and boars?” tempted by food, Er’er felt guilty for doubting her mother, but her thoughts immediately shifted back to the meat.
Right—there was still meat! The other three children had only just recovered from the shock of discovering the orchard.
“They’re in a completely safe place. Don’t worry—they’re not here, and they won’t run away.” Ye Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but feel pleased—what she had intended for future generations, she was now enjoying herself. She loved her past self’s shopping sprees!
Xiao Anguo, Er’er, and Siwa felt even more ashamed. Only Sanwa continued giggling.
“This is the Ye family’s jade bangle space. Let’s first pay respects to our ancestors!” With a thought, Ye Xiaoxiao led the children to the ancestral shrine inside the space.
“Come, bow to the Ye ancestors.” No matter how the outside world behaved, paying respects to one’s ancestors was proper.
The four children bowed sincerely three times before the ancestral tablets.
Afterward, Ye Xiaoxiao noticed small wooden bangles had appeared on each child’s wrist. Curious, she had them drop their blood onto the bangles.
As soon as they did, the children vanished and reappeared in the same spot.
“What’s happening?” Ye Xiaoxiao murmured to herself.
At that moment, a child with the appearance of a red-haired boy appeared before them. “Ye Qinghuan, you are the 800th generation descendant of the Ye family!”
“Ye Qinghuan?” Ye Xiaoxiao froze. Her name? In her previous life, she had never even known her own name. Now she realized—she actually had one!
“I am the guardian of the Ye family’s space, an ancestor from when the immortal cultivation world still existed. At seven years old, I voluntarily sacrificed my bangle to become the eternal guardian of this space,” the red-haired child continued.
An explanation was necessary—the children were nearly stunned into silence.
“Every 100 generations in the Ye family, a reborn descendant is chosen to change the fate of the Ye family’s destruction. You are the one selected by fate. The place where you live now is called Shui Lan Star; in the universe, there are thousands of planets like it.”
