---------------------------------------------------------------

Wires were hanging everywhere in the shanty area, and the houses were lined up in a mess. It was supposed to be taken down a dozen years ago, but it never happened.

The narrow alleyway, dirty walls, uneven ground, and shadows reminded Hao Ren of his childhood.

Xie Yujia walked beside Hao Ren, and there were two little shadows in front of them – just the same as when she followed Little Older Brother around as Small Carrot.

She didn’t know that she would still be following Hao Ren around now that she was older too. It was a bit tiring, but there was no other option. The timely appearance of Little Older Brother had already accomplished her childhood wish.

Romance had nothing to do with intelligence. No matter how smart a woman is, she could turn dumb when she is in love.

Little White hopped out of Xie Yujia’s arms to chase after a mix breed puppy nearby. The puppy had never seen something with stronger temperament than a Tibetan Mastiff, so it immediately stayed still. Little White lost its interest in it and returned to Hao Ren’s side. It was difficult for it to find a playmate due to its ability.

However, Little White itself was very picky. Many students wanted to hug it when Xie Yujia took it to the game. But it didn’t let any guys except Hao Ren touch it. Only girls – only beautiful girls had a chance to hug it.

It hopped around Hao Ren and Xie Yujia like a fluffy white ball as they arrived at the old grandma’s shed.

The walls of the shed were shared with the neighbors, and the front wall was only as wide as two doors lined up together. There was a window which seemed to have not been opened for years and an old wooden door. The wall was leaning outside – showing how dangerous it would be to live inside.

‘A real hermit lives in this bustling place.’ Hao Ren would have never thought that a super master who was as powerful as Lu Linlin and Lu Lili lived in such a place.

“Grandma! Grandma!” Xie Yujia stepped forward to knock on the door.

There was no response after a few minutes.

Xie Yujia was a little worried. She saw the neighbor was cooking so she went over, “Excuse me, Auntie. Is the old Grandma home?”

“I haven’t seen her for a few days. Although she usually doesn’t come out a lot,” the woman answered as she cooked.

“Thank you!” Xie Yujia went back to Hao Ren and looked at him, worried. “Do you think something happened to Grandma? She hasn’t been feeling well lately.”

Hao Ren had assumed that the old Grandma was not a mortal when he met her at the Trading Convention on Fifth Heaven. But Xie Yujia still wasn’t sure if it were a dream. From what she knew, the old Grandma’s health condition was very worrisome.

“We can open the door and take a look inside?” Hao Ren asked. On the one hand, he wanted to see what kind of master this old Grandma was; on the other hand, Xie Yujia was truly worried about her.

It was hard to say about an elderly person who lived alone. Xie Yujia felt sorry for her, so she came to visit, keep her company, and take care of her every weekend.

“Um, let’s figure out a way to get inside.” Xie Yujia frowned and nodded.

Hao Ren put his hand on the door and put a little bit of force on it. Boom! The fragile door opened under the quake.

There were no tiles lined up in the room. The rotten iron lock fell onto the damp dirt ground. Hao Ren picked it up and examined the place carefully.

She was not in the room.

Xie Yujia opened the door to let the humid air out. She once offered the old Grandma some money to renovate the place, but she didn’t agree to it.

“Grandma’s not here. She probably went out.” Xie Yujia was actually a bit relieved seeing that she wasn’t in the room.

“Um.” Hao Ren nodded and looked around the room. He wasn’t sure if it was very rude to intrude into another cultivator’s territory. But it shouldn’t have been a problem since he came in with Xie Yujia.

A wide wooden bed, a table and set of chairs, a bowl on the table with a crack in it, a pair of black chopsticks, and an old kettle seemed to be everything the old Grandma owned.

She didn’t even have a blanket.

“Grandma told me that her son would come to visit her a few days ago. Maybe she is out with him. It would be better for her to live with her son given how old she is,” Xie Yujia walked around the gloomy, narrow room and said.

She was surer that it was only a dream now. The old Grandma even had trouble walking, how would she be able to take her into the sky for a visit?

As for the bracelets, she thought maybe she forgot about buying it at the night market last night because of the mess. What one thinks about reflects in one’s dream. She even dreamed of obtaining this bracelet from heaven.

The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed. She felt a sense of alienation when she thought about herself crying in Hao Ren’s arms in the dream.

“Where’re Grandma’s blankets? She doesn’t even need it when she sleeps?” Xie Yujia was suddenly concerned about the old Grandma’s living conditions.

She patted Hao Ren as he carefully examined every corner of the room. “What are you looking at?”

“Oh, I’m trying to see if the structure of the room is logical,” Hao Ren said.

He read a whole bunch of architectural books lately and had some sense and concept of the “space.” He found the room not as simple as it may seem.

Each tilt seemed to have its reason. Even the little puddle of dirt followed a precise law!

This was an array formation! In other words, it was a Xumi Space built in the real world!

Hao Ren and Xie Yujia entered the old Grandma’s world the second they stepped in the door!

Just like Little White in Hao Ren’s necklace, the two of them were inside the old Grandma’s Xumi Space! Perhaps it was only a little pearl in her hand, and she might have already sensed Hao Ren and Xie Yujia’s entry!

Hao Ren gasped at the thought of it.

“What structure could a broken shed like this have?” Xie Yujia dragged Hao Ren’s arm. “Help me flip the bed board. Grandma’s blanket could be under it. It’s nice outside, so I’m going to hang it under the sun for a while.”

She led Hao Ren to the bedside. Hao Ren used his force to flip the black bed board over.

Boom! A ray of gold light almost blinded them!

After their eyes got used to the intense light, they saw countless treasures, techniques, and elixirs right in front of them.
