Chapter 4638: 5.0390 My Heart Is Greatly Comforted

It was all thanks to Xuan Huang, that girl, who kept nagging in her ear day in and day out. She'd talk about how she didn't know how the child was doing over there, whether she was being bullied. How the child was so stoic and unresponsive that even if she were bullied or wronged, she wouldn't speak up, only silently get angry inside...

Hearing her incessantly fret day after day had almost formed calluses on her ears, always worrying, always feeling like the child might truly be having a hard time. Especially the previous two hurried partings, where Little Treasure seemed to have suffered quite serious injuries, leading her to almost fall out with that old ghost Heavenly Dao several times, wanting to tear open space to come over, but being prevented.

Despite the shameless Heavenly Dao's repeated assurances that Little Treasure was fine, she never saw it with her own eyes, so she remained uneasy. This time, she witnessed it firsthand. Seeing her child surrounded by so many supportive friends, Her Excellency Qin Nitian suddenly felt as if her child had finally grown up and knew how to make friends.

My heart is greatly comforted, Her Excellency Qin Nitian thought.

"Aunt-Master?" Qiao Mu quickly walked to the ship's railing, curiously glancing at her Aunt-Master. What's wrong with Aunt-Master? Why is she clinging to the railing, touching and feeling it? What is she touching?

Her Excellency Qin Nitian stomped her feet and landed on the deck, clearing her throat. "This Return to Origin artifact of yours, you call it a Sacred Artifact, right? Where did you get this Sacred Artifact from, child?"

"An old man on the road insisted on giving it to me, so I accepted it."

Everyone: ...

Her Excellency Qin Nitian: ...

Why does it feel like this child is telling some outlandish tale?

"I gave him a large flask full of wine; it should count as an exchange, right?" Qiao Mu thought for a moment and said.

Her Excellency Qin Nitian: ...

Suddenly not wanting to talk to this little brat, what's going on?

The Little Stoic ran to her Aunt-Master's side, instinctively reaching out to pick her up. "Aunt-Master, what do you want to say?"

"You all go ashore first. I'll refine this Sacred Artifact for you. I can make its speed twice as fast, and it can have twelve times the time flow rate and space enhancement power."

Everyone's eyes widened in unison, staring at the five or six-year-old Aunt-Master beside the Little Stoic with eyes as if looking at a divine being. It was hard to imagine that this Aunt-Master could refine and modify a natural Sacred Artifact!

The Little Stoic's eyes lit up, and she casually asked, "Aunt-Master, do you have any hand-copied books on refining techniques?"

"Do you know how to refine artifacts?"

Qiao Mu shook her head. "No."

"Aren't you planning to learn?"

Qiao Mu shook her head again. "I have my husband." The implication was that she didn't need to bother with the craft of artifact refining.

Nitian looked around. "Where's that young man I saw last time?" Shouldn't a grand-nephew-in-law or something like that have a proper meeting and be given a good talking-to?

"Aunt-Master, he's in seclusion."

Nitian raised her small paw and patted the Little Stoic's head. "Look in the spatial bracelet I just gave you; it should be in there."

So that bracelet didn't just contain potions? The Little Crown Princess nodded happily. "Alright then. Oh, and Aunt-Master, how long will you need for the refining?"

"About three hours."

"Then let's sail the ship back to our island first, and you can slowly refine it there, how about that?"

"Oh my, my Little Treasure is already a great island lord!" Her Excellency Qin Nitian exclaimed, her eyes sparkling.

The Little Stoic felt a bit awkward. "It's just a dilapidated deserted island, Aunt-Master."

Qi Xuanxuan and the others all swarmed around them.
