After confirming that Divine Doctor Zhou would be traveling with them, Lin Luoluo decided they would leave in seven days. That way, everyone could rest a little longer and prepare more supplies for the journey.
After seeing Divine Doctor Zhou off, Lin Luoluo returned to her room and lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
I clearly drank contraceptive medicine back then. Even if I were pregnant, it should only be around two months… It must be because of the spiritual spring water.
As she thought about it, her hand unconsciously drifted to her lower abdomen.
Little one, thank you for coming into my life.
Over the next few days, Lin Luoluo brought Chun Tao around the entirety of Yancheng, buying all kinds of food, clothing, and daily necessities. Everything was delivered home and quietly stored away in her space.
This time, Lin Luoluo collected the items into her space right in front of everyone.
The sight completely stunned them.
They found it unbelievable—and endlessly fascinating.
Lin Luoluo carefully observed everyone’s reactions. None of them showed even the slightest greed or desire to claim the space for themselves, and she nodded inwardly in satisfaction.
After all, they would be living together from now on. If they used things from the space, it would be impossible to hide it forever. Rather than keep secrets, she chose honesty.
Of course, if anyone ever tried to take it for themselves…
Well, she had more than enough power to eliminate the problem.
“Sister, are you doing magic?” Lin Zirui asked, remembering performers he had seen before who could make objects disappear with hidden tricks.
But his eldest sister had simply waved her hand.
And poof—everything vanished.
“Big Sister—” “Miss!”
Lin Wanwan and Chun Tao spoke at the same time.
“Are you a fairy?”
The others stared at Lin Luoluo too, eyes wide and unblinking, waiting eagerly for her answer.
Lin Luoluo smiled.
“I’m not a fairy,” she said softly. “When I was foolish-minded, half of my soul traveled to another world called Earth.”
“That world is different from this one. There are no wars. Everyone has enough food and warm clothes. Boys and girls can both study. Women can become officials, work outside, and support their families.”
“Their technology is also very advanced. There are giant metal birds called airplanes that carry people through the sky. On land, there are trains that can hold hundreds or even thousands of people. There are cars faster than horse carriages, and ships that travel across the water.”
“In that world, I was an orphan. I had no parents, no siblings. I lived alone for over twenty years.”
“Then one day, a beam of light struck me and brought me back here.”
“That light became this space.”
“It’s bound to my soul. Even if I die, no one else can take it away.”
“The space is still small right now, but it can grow stronger. Crops planted inside mature quickly, food never spoils, and even hot food stays hot no matter how long it’s kept there.”
After calmly explaining everything, Lin Luoluo fell silent and waited for them to process it.
It took a long while before anyone snapped back to reality.
Lin Zhong was the first to recover.
With a sudden thud, he dropped to his knees.
The others quickly followed suit.
Even Lin Zirui and Lin Wanwan, though utterly confused, knelt with everyone else.
“I, Lin Zhong, swear that I will never reveal today’s secret. I will follow Eldest Miss for life and never betray her. Should I break this oath, may heaven strike me down.”
“I, Lin Li Shi, and Huzi—” “I, Chun Tao—” “swear the same. If we betray you, may we be destroyed by heaven.”
“I, Lin Da—” “Lin Yi, Lin Er… Lin Shi—” all the guards echoed in unison.
Lin Zirui and Lin Wanwan scratched their heads in confusion. Though they didn’t fully understand, they could tell from everyone’s serious expressions that this was important.
Soon, they made their own vows too.
“I, Lin Wanwan, swear that if I ever tell anyone about Big Sister’s secret, may ugly sores grow all over my face and make me ugly forever!”
After speaking, she nervously touched her cheeks, terrified pimples might suddenly appear.
Then she hurriedly looked at Lin Luoluo.
“Big Sister, Wanwan definitely won’t tell anyone! I want to grow up pretty—I don’t want ugly sores!”
“I, Lin Zirui, swear never to tell anyone that Big Sister can make things disappear,” he declared solemnly. “If I do… then I’ll never get a wife.”
By the end, his little face had turned bright red in embarrassment.
“Uncle Zhong, everyone—please get up,” Lin Luoluo said quickly.
“You’re all family to me. That’s why I trusted you enough to tell you everything.”
She bent down to help Lin Zhong to his feet and motioned for the others to stand as well.
The moment everyone rose—
They all stared at her with sparkling eyes.
Lin Luoluo immediately felt like she was about to be devoured alive.
She instinctively took a small step back and laughed awkwardly.
“Ahem… If you want to ask something, then ask. I’ll answer anything I know.”
“Just stop looking at me like that!”
“Miss! Eldest Miss—!”
Everyone started talking at once.
“Stop!” Lin Luoluo rubbed her temples helplessly. “One at a time! If you all talk together, how am I supposed to know what any of you are asking?”
Lin Zhong and Aunt Zhong sat nearby holding Xiaobao, smiling warmly as the younger group nearly fought over who got to ask questions first.
“Me! Me first!”
Lin Da shot his hand into the air.
The room immediately quieted.
“Eldest Miss,” he asked eagerly, “can airplanes really fly as high as birds?”
“They can,” Lin Luoluo replied. “And they can carry hundreds of people above the clouds.”
“Wow…”
A chorus of amazed gasps filled the room.
“Eldest Miss, can women really become officials there?”
“Yes.”
“Eldest Miss—”
…
For the next hour, Lin Luoluo patiently answered every single question they had.
In the end, Lin Zirui and Lin Wanwan both rushed forward and hugged her tightly.
“Big Sister, you’re not alone anymore,” Lin Wanwan mumbled. “Wanwan will always stay with you.”
“Big Sister, you still have me too,” Lin Zirui said seriously. “One day, I’ll protect you, Second Sister, and little brother.”
Quietly, he made a vow to himself.
And in the future—
He truly fulfilled it.
“Yes,” Lin Luoluo said softly, tears glistening in her eyes. “Big Sister is very happy now. I’m happy because I have all of you.”
A tear of happiness slipped down her cheek, though her face was filled with warmth and joy.
At that moment, in everyone’s eyes—
Lin Luoluo seemed to glow.
“Eldest Miss,” Huzi scratched his head and grinned foolishly, “you look really beautiful when you smile.”
“Miss looks beautiful no matter what,” Chun Tao declared immediately.
Everyone nodded in wholehearted agreement.
Lin Luoluo couldn’t help laughing.
Back in modern times, all of this would have been completely ordinary.
Yet here, in the ancient world—
She had somehow gained an entire group of devoted little fans.
“Alright, alright,” she said helplessly. “You’ve all asked your questions.”
“Lin Da, take this silver and bring a few people to the restaurant to buy food. We’re not cooking tonight.”
With a wave of her hand, she took out a pouch of silver from her space and handed it over.
“Yes!”
Lin Da grabbed the money and quickly called a few others before rushing off.
Half an hour later, they returned carrying piles of food.
After dinner, Lin Luoluo told everyone to go to bed early so they wouldn’t struggle to wake up tomorrow morning before heading back to her room.
She had done far too much shopping that day.
The moment her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep.
Lin Luoluo slept soundly—
But the others?
After the overwhelming shock of everything they had learned today, sleep was the last thing on their minds.
The next morning, every single one of them walked around with enormous dark circles under their eyes.
