Chapter 18: Guessing Chapter 18: Guessing Fang Yuxin took her family to visit the entire Spirit Mansion Space and explained its origin. Upon learning that the jade bracelet given to Fang Yuxin initially harbored such a mysterious space, the three mbers of the Fang Family all showed a change in their expressions. At this ti, Fang Yuyang was still unaware of the dispute over the jade between Fang ngyao and Fang Yuxin, but Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe could not help but wonder.
Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe both ca from prestigious families and were far from naive. Fang Jintang had developed the once shaky family business into its current scale with his exceptional intellect and extraordinary vision. Although Qu Qianhe was now a full-ti housewife, she had once been a formidable career woman.
Fang ngyao’s obstinate desire for the jade set was already very suspicious; however, both had thought she was rely being childish, deliberately fighting with Fang Yuxin over it. Now, knowing that one of the jade bracelets was a rare treasure carrying such a mysterious space, they couldn’t help but suspect—did Fang ngyao know sothing?
This speculation might be a bit too fantastic, yet with the appearance of a cultivator’s Spirit Mansion Space and Fang Yuxin even ntioning that the apocalypse was 25 days away, it was plausible there could be other secretive things at play.
Fang Yuyang, noticing their expressions, realized sothing was amiss and asked, “What’s wrong? Did sothing happen while I was away?”
Fang Jintang sighed and told him about purchasing the set of jade jewelry and bringing it ho for Fang Yuxin. Unfortunately, Fang ngyao happened to be there and fought with Fang Yuxin for the jade. Fang Yuyang was no fool; upon hearing this, he guessed what Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe were thinking and asked, “Mom and Dad, are you suspecting that ngyao knows sothing?”
Fang Yuxin simply shared how Fang ngyao asked Fang Jintang for money and then sold her house, saying, “I also feel she might have obtained so treasure, sensed this space, and therefore wanted to seize the items then. Moreover, I think she might know about the apocalypse, and her recent disappearance is likely due to her going out to buy supplies.”
Fang Yuyang quickly arrived at a crucial point and asked, “Her apartnt was worth fifteen million, and Dad gave her another million, aning she really needed money. But to buy so many supplies, where would she store them? If the apocalypse really cos, how could a young girl like her protect all these supplies? Could it be that she has a space too?”
Fang Yuxin thought about it; in her dream, Fang ngyao did have a space. However, since Fang ngyao had stolen the Jade, Fang Yuxin couldn’t be sure whether Fang ngyao still had a space or not. But clearly, Fang Yuyang had hit the nail on the head; Fang ngyao’s confident sale of her house, converting it into a significant amount of money for supplies, suggested she likely indeed had a space!
What most concerned Fang Yuxin was Fang ngyao’s particular interest in that set of jade. Her stubbornness to snatch it, even disregarding her own pride, didn’t seem like a re act of petulance.
So, Fang Yuxin said, “Dad, if she calls you, could you refrain from telling her about the space for the ti being?”
Fang Jintang nodded. The matter of the Spirit Mansion Space was of great importance. Such a treasure, if even a hint were disclosed, could an endless trouble for the Fang Family in the future, and he naturally understood what was at stake. He didn’t believe Fang ngyao had such a malicious nature; he was just worried she might inadvertently leak the information in an unguarded mont.
He said gravely, “I will never tell her a word about this matter, but Xinxin, you must rember not to tell anyone either, not even Qianqian. That child… he appeared too suddenly, and after all, he is still a child. We don’t yet know who is behind him. It’s better to be cautious for now.”
Fang Yuyang added, “Dad and I will take care of the supplies. Xinxin, you and Mom should also discuss more, and buy whatever you want to stock up. Let’s store as much as we can, so if the apocalypse really happens, we’ll have so security. Even if the apocalypse doesn’t co in the end, we can slowly sell the goods again; there won’t be any loss. So Xinxin, don’t put too much pressure on yourself, you have us.”
With that matter settled, the family didn’t stay long in the Spirit Mansion Space. After they exited, Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe were the first to leave the room. When Fang Yuxin was about to leave, she was stopped by Fang Yuyang.
Fang Yuyang asked, “Xinxin, now that Dad and Mom aren’t here, tell your brother the truth—what else do you dream about?”
“I…” Fang Yuxin opened her mouth, hesitating not knowing if she should speak, “Brother, can you not ask, please?”
“No!” Fang Yuyang insisted firmly. He reached out and took hold of Fang Yuxin’s shoulders, looking into her eyes, “Xinxin, tell your brother what you dread about! Once you say it out loud, you won’t be afraid anymore.”
His last statent was gentle, persuasive like a siren’s whisper. Fang Yuxin t his gaze, and her psychological defenses completely collapsed; as if possessed, she revealed her entire dream. By the ti she finished, half an hour had passed. Fang Yuyang had not interrupted her once until she described how Fang ngyao had crippled her limbs and attracted zombies that devoured her alive—only then did Fang Yuyang shout, “Enough!”
Fang Yuxin was startled back to reality by his shout, and only then did she notice she had been crying uncontrollably without knowing when it had begun. Fang Yuyang drew closer and embraced her, gently patting her back, and said softly, “Enough, Xinxin, no more, it’s over—it was just a dream. What happens in dreams won’t co true, your brother promises to protect you, as well as our parents. No one will be able to hurt you.”
However, Fang Yuxin suddenly rembered the incident with Fang ngyao drugging her. She pushed Fang Yuyang away, wiped her tears, and with a stern face said, “Brother, there’s sothing else I forgot to tell you. Mom and Dad don’t know about this, but that day, Fang ngyao wanted to snatch the jade jewelry. Because of that dream, I didn’t give it to her and took the jade back to my room.
When I went downstairs, Fang ngyao was helping in the kitchen, saying she wanted to personally make a dish to apologize to . Rembering my dream, I was worried she might have added ‘Suppressant,’ so I deliberately ruined all the dishes. Later, I had Qingyun check them, and she said there indeed was a mysterious substance inside. It was impossible to determine all its components, but from the components that were detected, that substance would have a suppressing effect on cells. Brother, I suspect she added ‘Suppressant,’ but since I ruined it, she hasn’t tried anything else. Maybe she has run out of ‘Suppressant.'”
After hearing Fang Yuxin’s dream, Fang Yuyang’s hatred for Fang ngyao had reached the bone. When he learned about the actual ‘Suppressant,’ he was furious, his face turning an iron blue as he wished he could kill Fang ngyao with his own hands! Clenching his fists tightly, his knuckles cracked. He then said, “I will tell Mom and Dad about this; we can’t keep it from them! Leave Fang ngyao’s matter to your brother to investigate. I want to see exactly who she is!”
