Volume 1: Peaceful Childhood Chapter 10: Full Moon Puppet

  Three people left, and the crowd sat in a daze, unsure whether they should go comfort them after what had happened.

  "Hehe, everyone continue eating. This result we had already expected, and it's also a pleasant surprise that they signed this contract so easily." Old Master Yun smiled and greeted everyone.

  It turns out that what was unclear before is now clear, and the Yun family had long wanted to keep the child and cut ties with the Liang family. Everyone returned to their previous liveliness, eating and drinking as they should.

  "Alright, tomorrow I'll have your big brother take you to the city to get the divorce certificate done. Originally, I wanted to call you over earlier, but first you were pregnant and then you were sitting for a month." Old Master Yun called over Yun Xi, who had just finished her chores, and handed the child to her.

  "Alright!" Yun Xi agreed readily. Originally, her feelings for Liang Hua Tian weren't deep to begin with. She had also known since she was young that she would marry him when she grew up. Old Master Liang was especially good to her, so she didn't have any resistance, but neither did she have any particularly profound emotions.

  Everyone in the Yun family was overjoyed, and even Yun Qingran's eyes curved into a smile. She had been thinking of ways to completely sever ties with the Liang family but couldn't come up with a good solution. Now her grandfather had perfectly resolved it. Tsk tsk, it turned out that Grandfather was also a sly one!

  Lunch was eaten until three o'clock in the afternoon, and those who drank finished drinking; The children ate a little under the pressure of adults and went to take the small pastries prepared for them; The women ate and helped clean up the table and washed the bowls before going home to do things. Cloud Old Lady asked Cloud Xi to re-pack the excess dishes into plates and give one or two plates to each family that came, until all the dishes were sent out.

  In the evening, Chen Chen also got up. Old Lady Yun personally went to the kitchen, and Yun Xi and Chen Rong helped with the cooking, making a table of delicious dishes. The dishes were not many, just enough for several people to eat, but each one was exquisite, with color, fragrance, and flavor all present.

  "Come on, it's too busy at noon, and I'll eat slowly tonight. " Yun Xi brought up the last dish, and Grandma Yun followed behind, letting everyone sit down at the table.

  "Auntie, it's been a long time since I've had your cooking." Chen Chen looked at the brightly colored dishes, his fingers itching to dig in.

  Yun Lao Tai Tai's culinary skills are widely recognized as excellent, and even Chen Rong, who learned the most from Yun Lao Tai Tai, only mastered eight-tenths of her culinary skills. However, it is usually Chen Rong and Yun Xi who do the cooking.

  "Then eat more. Look at you, you've lost weight after being out for so long. It's true, it's not easy to eat and sleep well outside, nothing compares to home." Yun old lady said with concern. Parents who haven't seen their children in a long time always think that the child will lose weight if they don't take care of them themselves.

  "Alright, auntie. I would have eaten more even if you didn't tell me to."

  One evening, Mrs. Yun was serving dishes to Chen Chen, while Yun Xiang and Chen Chen accompanied Mr. Yun in having a few drinks. Yun Qingran smiled along with everyone else, mainly because Mrs. Yun had specially cooked a bowl of carp soup for her. She could finally improve her diet a bit.

  After a busy day, everyone went to bed early after dinner. After Yun Xi fell asleep, Yun Qingran left a strand of divine consciousness as usual and entered the space. Today, I came in relatively early, and Xing should still be sleeping in the space. Usually, after she leaves, Xing spends her time like this.

  It's been so long since then, and she still hasn't visited the other few doors in space. Thinking of this, Yun Qingran decided to temporarily put down her book and go take a look at what was inside the Treasure Pavilion.

  Entering the treasure vault, there are rows of crystal-refined shelves with item categories written on one side. The shelves are neatly divided into square small grids, each shelf has 7 horizontal and 9 vertical grids, with golden words below writing the name, level, and quantity of the items.

  Row after row of shelves walked past, looking at the overall classification, and found that there were things from the cultivation world on the shelves, as well as things from the scientific world. The shelves are roughly divided into clothing, food, housing, and transportation, as well as rare and ancient artifacts. Yun Qingran looked through them and walked to a row of shelves, looking at the two compartments in front of her, somewhat speechless. One compartment was a puppet refined by the cultivation world, and the other compartment was an intelligent robot from the scientific world.

  According to the grid's instructions, a puppet requires her to reach a certain level of cultivation to contract, while a robot can do so as long as it has enough energy. With her current level of cultivation, she can only contract one puppet. The puppet's cultivation is not high, only in the Yuan Ying period, and the puppet cannot initiate an attack, it can only counterattack when someone other than its master attacks it.

  Yun lightly took out a puppet, and the puppet instantly grew to the size of an adult. A drop of blood was squeezed from his fingertips onto the puppet's brow, and in his mind, he simulated the image of the puppet, which instantly transformed into a spirited old man around fifty years old.

  "I have seen the master." The puppet's eyes flashed with a red light as it knelt on one knee and saluted Yun Qing.

  "From now on, you'll be called Zhang Fu and serve as my steward. Normally, don't call me Master, nor bow down to me. When we're outside, just call me Young Master." Yun Qingran instructed, leading the person away. Since she had a master now, from then on she would bring him out too, saying he was sent by her master and addressing her as Young Master.

  "Yes, miss." Zhang Fu replied, slightly bowing his waist and making a courtesy.

  After visiting the Treasure Pavilion, Yun Qingran took Zhang Fu to the secluded forest hut and called out to Xing.

  "You're here! So early?" Xing rubbed her sleepy eyes, Yun Qing looked at her with a mixture of surprise and admiration, thinking to herself that she was too cute!

  "Everyone at home was tired today, so they went to bed relatively early." After saying this casually, Yun Qingran waited for a while before Xing finally woke up completely.

  "Happy full moon!"

  What's wrong! Yun Qingran didn't know whether she should be happy or angry, was she supposed to be this excited for her full moon celebration? Her hands and feet were numb from the cold outside, it was unbearable.

  "Come on, I'll take you to see the full moon gift I've prepared for you." Xing pulled Yun lightly and walked out.

  Yun Lirang followed the star to the Hundred Beasts Forest, where a smaller white jade platform stood, surrounded by six doors with different labels: Human, Immortal, Demon, Monster, Ghost, and God. In the central light pillar, a white egg floated, its surface adorned with intertwining golden and black lines that shimmered and dimmed in an seemingly irregular pattern, yet exuding an otherworldly mysterious aura. Her intuition told her that this egg was extraordinary.

  "Go ahead, that's the gift I'm giving you. Drip your blood on it and then input your spiritual energy."

  Recalling the book I read recently in space, it seems that Contract Pets also said something like this. Yun Qingran walked to the edge of the light pillar, one hand stretched in and stuck on the egg, the spiritual energy inside her body frantically surged into the egg. Damn it, she didn't think that this egg would absorb so much spiritual power, her own spiritual power was almost depleted, but her hand was sucked in and couldn't be pulled out. No way, she could only desperately circulate her heart method, absorbing the external spiritual energy.

  Finally, the egg stopped absorbing, and the lines on it suddenly emitted a dazzling light. A crisp cracking sound rang out, and a crack split open on the eggshell.

  Yun Qingran stared tightly at this egg that had almost sucked her dry, wanting to see what would come out of it.

  The cracks on the egg grew more and more, a small piece was pushed open, and a tiny fluffy paw came out. What is this?
