Chapter 10: I Don't Dare To Say It, I Have to Hold Back!
Editor: Atlas Studios
The red dot flashed again, and An Jiuyue heard its voice again.
"I am Wei Na, and I am a life form living in this space. However, I am unable to control this space, because only you, my master, can control this space."
Upon hearing that, An Jiuyue's face darkened and she almost slapped the red dot!
"How dare you pry into my mind! Do you want to die?!"
"No, Master, please let me explain."
Although Wei Na did not think that there was anything wrong with prying into its master's mind, it couldn't help but panic when it heard her last exclamation.
Although it was living in this space, it still had to listen to its master.
A glare from its master would force it into a corner sometimes, hiding for days without coming out. It was instinctively afraid!
"You… you didn't lock your mind. I… I only heard it by accident. I really didn't do it on purpose."
An Jiuyue remained silent.
So it is my fault that this rascal accidentally heard my inner world?
And it even sounds so wronged?!
She took a deep breath and decided to put that aside for now. "How did you get here?" she asked Wei Na.
"You don't know? I've been with you for two centuries." Wei Na was a little puzzled. It had accompanied its master across two worlds, but its master wasn't even aware of its existence.
It wanted to sigh. My master is really inattentive.
However, it did not dare to scorn its master out loud. I have to hold back!
An Jiuyue remained silent.
Please forgive her ineptitude. She was really unaware that the red dot had been accompanying her in her previous life.
"You've already been following me in the past? Then why didn't you appear?"
"Well…"
The little red dot was about to speak, but it hesitated. It looked as if it didn't know how to find the right words.
"Hurry up and explain!"
An Jiuyue said impatiently. She did not have the time to wait for it to hesitate.
"Well… In the past, there has been no changes to the space so I was always confined. Now that the space has changed, I can come out."
Wei Na replied honestly.
"That was not even a difficult thing to say! Why were you hesitating for so long?"
An Jiuyue was speechless. It was just a simple statement: It used to be confined in the past. It was nothing embarrassing anyway. However, she soon felt that something was amiss.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that I was useless? How can you say that?"
It had been explained before that it could not control this space as An Jiuyue was the only one who could control it. In other words, she was the only one who could change the space!
Wei Na's words seemed more like an expression of its contempt towards her instead of a self-explanation.
Since she never noticed that the space could be changed, she had been unable to release its inhabitant.
So it was her fault!
"Oh, well…"
Wei Na shivered instinctively when An Jiuyue shouted and thought to itself, Didn't you ask me to explain?
However, it didn't dare to say that out loud. It had a strong survival instinct!
"I'm not blaming you, Master! I'm saying that the Suspended Pavilion was too petty and did not show itself to you so you weren't able to use this space properly!"
"Suspended Pavilion? What is—"
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a scream from outside.
Chapter 11: There's a Snake!
Editor: Atlas Studios
An Jiuyue's face turned green. She bolted out of the space immediately and went to check on the two children. She almost scared herself to death when she took a look.
"Mother, a snake, a snake! There's a snake!"
The moment Rong'er and Zheng'er woke up, they saw a snake coiling around their bed. Terrified, they wrapped the blanket around them tightly and curled up in a corner on the bed.
"Don't be afraid, Mother is here."
Even An Jiuyue gulped secretly when she saw the huge snake that was as thick as her calf.
It was sticking out its tongue and half of its body was still hanging on the window ledge. She cursed herself internally. I was too careless. How could I not shut the window when sleeping at night?
However, she recalled that she had closed the window properly because it was raining. If they were left open, the rain would be blown indoors.
Did the snake break the window?
But it was not the time to worry about that. She had to think of a way to deal with this snake that had barged into her house and frightened her children.
She could not possibly wait for it to leave on its own. Since it was capable of barging in, it must be here to eat meat. Of course, she also could not let this big chunk of meat escape without killing it to eat.
She secretly retrieved the machete from her space and held it in her hand tightly.
It was still early spring and the snake wouldn't have left its hibernation pit unless it was disturbed. Its pit must have been flooded from the rain.
The snake was also moving rather slowly because the weather was cold.
Moreover, it was not moving towards the children, but towards the stove where the charcoal was burning. It was warmer there and the snake was drawn to its warmth.
At that thought, she stayed put and stretched out her hand to signal the two little ones to keep quiet. She watched as the snake slithered over to the stove and leaned its head closer to the stove. Then, it laid unmoving on the ground.
An Jiuyue remained silent.
What a lazy snake! It's already satisfied with warming its head and doesn't care that half of its body is still hanging on the window and drenched in the rain.
"Mother!"
Zheng'er and Rong'er looked at the snake in fear before looking at their mother.
"Shh!"
An Jiuyue reached out and gestured for him to keep quiet.
"The snake is still in hibernation. It was awakened by the rain. Let's wait for it to fall asleep before we get it out. Go to sleep first, I am here. Don't be afraid. I will protect you."
She lowered her voice and spoke to the two little ones.
The two little ones were frightened today. She felt that it was better to prevent them from witnessing her killing the snake later.
Therefore, although the snake was sleeping next to the stove, she secretly retrieved a calming incense from her space and threw it into the charcoal stove.
Soon, the two children fell into a slumber. Even the snake felt extra sleepy.
It seemed like the calming incense was also effective on snakes.
After they fell asleep, An Jiuyue got off the bed quietly and moved towards the snake. She tightened her grip on the machete in her right hand again as she gently gestured with her left palm above the snake's head.
This snake was too big. She couldn't possibly strike there.
Otherwise, not only would snake blood spatter all over the house but the entire treehouse would also be overturned.
