"Dear daughter... you an... space?"
Hua Chengtian was so overwheld by the surprise that he couldn’t even speak coherently.
No wonder... no wonder Mother always made him bleed, it turns out this was the reason.
Looking at the jade artifacts on the table, his eyes instantly burned with excitent, especially the last one, wishing his daughter would bleed a bit more.
Seeing that her father understood, Hua Jing nodded, then watched as her father earnestly tried to sense it, and in no ti his face turned crimson from the effort.
"Daughter, I don’t feel anything, maybe the blood isn’t enough, quickly, a few more pricks," Hua Chengtian urged, extending his finger.
Looking at the ring that absorbed his blood, not just a few pricks, even using a knife to slice, he wouldn’t blink an eye at this point.
Hua Jing also considered it, her father taking the initiative was right in line with her intentions, unhesitatingly pricking his fingers twice in succession, squeezing out two large drops to cover the ring’s surface, watched as the blood was absorbed bit by bit by several pairs of eyes, until the ring glowed brilliantly but still showed no reaction.
"Daughter, keep going," Hua Chengtian’s eyes stayed fixed on the ring with burning intensity.
Hua Jing: "..."
This little thing really absorbs a lot, it seems you can’t fully trust novels, where a drop of blood grants ownership.
Thinking this, Hua Jing pricked her father’s hand again, this ti feeling a twinge of reluctance, as none of her father’s ten fingers were unscathed.
At the sa ti, there was eagerness building, curious about what the ring would turn into after her father sacrificed so much blood.
Then, with a few more drops of blood, as they were absorbed bit by bit, the green hue on the ring’s surface seed to beco increasingly apparent, shimring with a lustrous glow.
As Hua Chengtian continued to offer blood, suddenly, as the last trace of blood was absorbed, the ring was enveloped in a glow, imdiately followed by Hua Chengtian’s surprised and joyful shout, awakening the surprised mother and daughter.
"I felt it!"
"Really, Dad?" Hua Jing couldn’t help but shout with excitent.
"What is it, what do you feel?" Grandma Hua followed in a tense rush, asking eagerly.
"I sensed an independent space."
"Really?" Grandma Hua was so happy she couldn’t close her mouth, her first reaction was that the ancestral item really contained sothing of the Immortal, could this imply their ancestors had sothing to do with the Immortals.
No wonder their dear granddaughter had fateful connections with magic, perhaps it was inherent in the Hua family’s bloodline, Grandma Hua convinced herself perfectly.
Hua Chengtian nodded excitedly.
"Dad, how big?" This was Hua Jing’s main concern.
"About... half again as big as our three main rooms." Hua Chengtian gestured with his hands.
Hearing this, Hua Jing was pleased.
... Oh wow, it’s really not small, much bigger than expected.
For such a small ring, Hua Jing had thought if it was big enough for a room of twenty or thirty square ters, it would be great.
But half bigger than their three main rooms, their house was already quite large, at least over a hundred square ters, it was simply fantastic.
The more Hua Jing thought about it, the happier she got, with her mouth open just like Grandma Hua, truly the spitting image of grandparent and grandchild, clearly related.
"Is it that big?" Grandma Hua looked at her son in surprise.
"Dad, wait..." Leaving just this sentence, she ran out with a sprint straight towards the kitchen.
At this hour there was sure to be hot water in the kitchen.
Picking up the water ladle directly from the table, she filled it with water, "Dad, try to put it into the space, think about storing it..."
Although Hua Chengtian didn’t understand his daughter’s intention behind this, believing his daughter’s guidance couldn’t be wrong.
Following her instructions, he didn’t expect the hot water to vanish, causing Hua Chengtian to grin from ear to ear as he looked at his equally excited mother.
"Mom, did you see it’s gone?" Hua Chengtian excitedly grabbed his mother’s hand, reminiscent of when he was a child,
"Yes, yes, I saw," Grandma Hua replied excitedly, "Try sothing else, see if it works."
Then Hua Chengtian continued joyfully repeating the process of storing and retrieving items, till Father Hua, not seeing his son for long, ca searching in the yard.
And then Father Hua was utterly bewildered, standing dumbfounded.
Then Grandma Hua went over to the old man and whispered, leading to another face of ecstatic joy.
Father Hua looked at his granddaughter with delight, his mind involuntarily recalling the monk who had foretold blessings when his granddaughter was young.
The monk was right, she indeed had great fortune.
Otherwise, how could sothing passed down through generations be discovered in this generation to contain such an extraordinary thing?
Father Hua’s heart was pounding with excitent, taking several deep breaths to calm himself.
As he watched his son busily storing and retrieving items like a rambunctious boy, he couldn’t help but feel impressed. Admittedly, the furniture was sturdy; otherwise, it couldn’t withstand such handling.
Unable to resist, Father Hua slapped his son’s head, "Calm down," he said.
Despite saying so, he himself still felt unbalanced with excitent, his limbs sowhat weak and numb.
The slap actually brought Hua Chengtian back to his senses, making him stop, and it was only then he realized his father was also in the room, giving him a silly grin and a call of "Dad."
Such a foolish son, Father Hua hadn’t seen a scene like this since his son got married, didn’t think he’d witness such innocence in his lifeti again, imdiately giving his son a disdainful glance.
"Alright, you’re a father now, maintain so decorum."
Then, no longer focusing on his foolish son, he turned his gaze to the remaining jade ornants on the table, deep in thought while inspecting them.
"Dear, go call Yun Ao over." By this ti, Father Hua had already forgotten all about the work in the vegetable garden.
"You an..." No wonder they were a couple for decades, Grandma Hua imdiately understood what the old man ant.
Father Hua nodded, "Yes, go quickly."
If it doesn’t work for the father, maybe it will work for the son?
You have to try before giving up, right?
While aware of his own greed, having one magical artifact was already a blessing from the ancestors.
But since they discovered other ancestral items, they must be tested as well to prevent future generations from unknowingly discarding treasures.
Quietly he felt fortunate, grateful that he never pawned their ancestral items despite hard tis in his youth, lest he miss such an opportunity now.
Hua Jing also understood her grandfather’s intention but did nothing to stop it, as everyone has their destiny, perhaps her brother’s bloodline was even purer.
She walked up beside her father and whispered, "Dad, check if the water temperature has changed, if it has the function of stopping ti for freshness."
Only then did Hua Chengtian realize why his daughter brought a ladle of hot water, her intention was here.
Truthfully, he was quite looking forward to it too, having such a space ant never worrying about storage again.
Nodding repeatedly towards his daughter, indicating he understood.
The son’s actions caught Father Hua’s attention, who, regardless of his foolishness, beckoned to his granddaughter.
