Xie Yu Zhou raised his eyebrows triumphantly at Lu Chao Chao.

Not until the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had left did he finally declare, “What does Zhou Yu Xie’s oath have to do with me, Xie Yu Zhou? The heavens won’t punish me for it!”

He pressed his palms together and made a mock prayer to the sky. “Just treat me as a fart and let me go.”

Then, turning to Chao Chao, he boasted smugly, “See how amazing I am? I tricked them into leaving.”

Lu Chao Chao’s smile was anything but sincere. “Even the dogs in the Spirit Realm have spiritual energy, but you… you’re just a pure mortal. Could it be that even the heavens look down on you? And yet you dare to stir up trouble?”

Xie Yu Zhou’s face fell instantly.

“You really know how to talk,” he grumbled.

“I don’t believe it. There’s no way I can’t absorb spiritual energy! Tomorrow, I’ll start training!” He was unwilling to accept defeat.

Lu Chao Chao yawned and lazily made her way back to her guest room.

Inside, Windchaser, covered in red fur and braided all over, lay lazily at the bedside.

Chao Chao’s eyes lit up. “Windchaser! I met your long-lost brother today!”

“That person was just like you—covered in red fur, with little braids. And his eyes were just like yours…”

Windchaser trembled on the floor, his canine eyes twitching, too afraid to meet her gaze.

“If you saw him, you’d definitely love him!”

Lu Chao Chao reached out to stroke Windchaser, but her fingers accidentally brushed against the mud on his paws. She frowned slightly.

“I just gave you a bath. Where did you step in mud again? Hmph! Later, I’ll have Yu Zhou wash you.” She muttered under her breath.

With that, she gently let Windchaser go.

Standing in the center of the guest room, her small fingers tapped the air, and in an instant, Madam Ning appeared within the room.

Madam Ning had been pale before, but after resting within the space for half a day, she had regained some color in her cheeks.

“Grandmother, the spiritual energy inside the space is abundant, but time flows faster there. You can’t stay inside for too long.” Lu Chao Chao grinned at her, her eyes crinkling with delight.

Madam Ning nodded slightly, gazing at Chao Chao with a hint of moisture in her eyes.

“Chao Chao, I have brought you trouble.” It turned out that the hope foretold in the Elf Tribe’s prophecy was not herself—but her own bloodline.

Chao Chao was the true savior of the Elves.

“Chao Chao, the Elf Tribe owes you an immense favor. Today, as the Queen, I offer my sincerest gratitude.” As she spoke, she prepared to bow deeply to Lu Chao Chao.

Lu Chao Chao immediately blocked her with a tiny hand.

“Grandmother, you’re an elder, and Chao Chao is a junior. You mustn’t bow to Chao Chao.”

“Even if I weren’t of Elf blood, I would still help you.”

“Grandmother, no need for such formalities!” The little girl’s soft voice carried an earnest sincerity, her twin hair buns flopping slightly as she spoke.

Madam Ning embraced Chao Chao, holding her close. “Having you is both your mother’s and my greatest blessing.”

“Chao Chao, thank goodness for you.”

Otherwise, today would have been the day of the Elves’ extinction.

“Grandmother, do you have anywhere to go?” Lu Chao Chao asked.

Madam Ning’s lips curved in a bitter smile. “All of the Elf Tribe’s sanctuaries have been purged. We have nowhere to go.” Without protection, no place would be safe.

Lu Chao Chao stroked her chin, deep in thought.

“I do have a good place in mind…”

“Grandmother, have you ever heard of Azure Phoenix Tree Mountain?”

Madam Ning froze, her eyes flashing with surprise. “It is said that Azure Phoenix Tree Mountain is covered in phoenix trees, with a volcano beneath, making it the dwelling place of the Phoenix Clan?”

Lu Chao Chao nodded. “Mhm, the volcano beneath the mountain helps the Phoenix Clan hatch their eggs and enhances their cultivation.”

“I once did a great favor for the Phoenix Clan. Grandmother, take this token of mine—you can stay there for a while.”

“Mmm, the tribe still needs time to heal. Let’s rest in the space for a few more days before moving.”

Lu Chao Chao took out a token from her sleeve and handed it to Madam Ning.

It was a Double Phoenix Token, and the moment it touched her hand, a phoenix cry echoed as a fiery bird emerged from the token. It circled above Madam Ning’s head before returning inside.

“The token has acknowledged you. Grandmother, just take it with you.”

“There are still lost tribesmen scattered outside—most in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, a few in the Spirit Realm. Chao Chao will definitely bring them back!”

Madam Ning’s heart trembled violently. It was already astonishing that Chao Chao could fight a hundred enemies alone, but now she had also earned the favor of the Phoenix Clan?

Just who was Chao Chao?

Or rather… whose reincarnation was she?

Even more unfathomable—she had seen Chao Chao mold a clay figurine and grant it a soul.

This was unheard of.

And Chao Chao’s space—it had sky, earth, sun, and rain, resembling a miniature world unto itself.

Who had ever heard of a storage space like that?

“Oh, right, there’s an unconscious man inside the space. Chao Chao, who is he?” Madam Ning suddenly recalled and asked absentmindedly.

“Probably the God of Time and Space, I think. He’ll be leaving tonight…”

Lu Chao Chao waved her hand dismissively, completely oblivious to her grandmother’s eyes widening in shock.

The God of Time and Space?!

No, wait—how could you say such a thing so casually?!!

That’s a god! A god!

A being worshipped by the heavens and countless mortals!

And you just have one stashed away in your space?!

Madam Ning clutched her heart. The child’s secrets were too much for her to handle.

Shi Yun, do you even know how terrifyingly powerful your daughter is?!

“Speaking of which, where is Shi Yun?” Madam Ning finally remembered that she hadn’t seen her daughter since their return.

“When we crossed the barrier, Mother got separated from me. She should be fine—she has a little sword cultivator with her. Besides, I left her with three strands of my sword qi. If she’s ever in danger, I’ll sense it.”

Madam Ning hesitated, uncertainty flashing in her eyes.

“Grandmother, we’re family. If there’s something on your mind, just say it! If Chao Chao can do it, I’ll do it!” The little girl patted her chest with confidence.

Madam Ning spoke hesitantly, “Chao Chao, you know that the Elf Tribe is a peaceful race. The few warriors we had perished during the Great Cataclysm.”

“This left us defenseless.”

“For generations, our people believed that we were simply born weak. But after watching you wield a sword and slaughter your enemies, many have changed their minds. They want to learn swordsmanship!”

Madam Ning knew she was making a bold request. In the Spirit Realm, swordsmanship was a cultivator’s lifeline—how could one simply teach it to outsiders?

“Just a few techniques—enough for survival. If it’s too much trouble, just forget I mentioned it.”

Lu Chao Chao’s forehead broke into a sweat, but hearing this, she sighed in relief.

She waved her hand grandly. “Learn! Learn as much as you want! I’ll teach you myself!”

Phew, that scared her.

She thought they wanted to borrow money.

After all, she had quite a few treasures stashed in her space.

They might be a bit shady, but she wasn’t about to give them away.

Swordsmanship? That was easy. Just practice a little, and anyone could create their own techniques. Heck, even taking a nap could lead to an epiphany—what’s so hard about that?

But money… money didn’t just fall from the sky!
