Just Cramming Beds, Still Far From Enough!

"Older sister?" Ning Qiu raised an eyebrow.

"That's right, older sister." Xiao Wu nodded.

"As I recall, your age as a human is younger than mine, isn't it?" Ning Qiu reminded her.

"B-Before becoming human, I'd already lived for a hundred thousand years," Xiao Wu weakly pointed out.

"By your logic, should I count the days I spent in my mother's womb too? And the days my mother spent in her mother's womb. Hmm, and the days my grandmother spent in her mother's womb as well." Ning Qiu smiled.

"That's sophistry." Xiao Wu shot back.

"Xiao Wu..." Ning Qiu called out. His smile faded before he continued, "I'm asking you a very serious question now. I hope you'll answer it seriously!"

"What question?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Are you willing to be my little sister? I'll always protect my little sister and never let her suffer even the slightest harm." Ning Qiu asked again.

Since the thin barrier between Ning Qiu and Xiao Wu had already been pierced, Ning Qiu needed to seize this opportunity to make certain future events happen ahead of time.

"I..." Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment before saying, "You already know my true identity. If you acknowledge me as your little sister, you'll face danger in the future. Do you still want me as your little sister?"

"Yes." Ning Qiu nodded firmly.

"What if someone wants to kill me someday, and you can't beat them?" Xiao Wu continued asking.

"Whoever dares show you disrespect will face my thunderous wrath and regret ever coming into this world. If even I can't defeat them, then they'll have to step over my corpse." Ning Qiu said solemnly.

Xiao Wu gazed at Ning Qiu. In his eyes, she saw nothing but sincerity.

"Big brother!"

Xiao Wu called softly.

"Little sister!"

Overjoyed, Ning Qiu beckoned with a finger. A ray of light emerged from the pillar at the very center of the Treasure Pavilion and finally settled in his palm. It was a ring with a rabbit head on it.

"A ring?" Xiao Wu's expression shifted.

"Consider this ring my gift to you for becoming my little sister." Ning Qiu smiled.

The ring originally cost fifty Contribution Points. With Ning Qiu's privileges and a twenty-percent discount, it cost him only forty Contribution Points.

"Thank you, Big Brother." Xiao Wu happily accepted the Rabbit Head Ring Soul Tool Ning Qiu handed her. She put it on her finger and looked at it proudly. Then, as if remembering something, she paused and asked, "Can I not call you Big Brother?"

"Why not?" Ning Qiu asked.

"Forget ten-thousand-year soul beasts—even Da Ming and Er Ming have to call me Sister Xiao Wu when they see me. If I call you Big Brother, how are they supposed to see me in the future?" Xiao Wu explained.

"Fine. In public, you can call me Ning Qiu, or Little Village Chief like everyone else in Holy Soul Village. As long as you know in your heart that I'm your big brother, that's enough." Ning Qiu smiled.

"Thank you, Big Brother. You're so good to me." Xiao Wu smiled.

"Silly girl, you're my little sister. If I don't treat you well, who should I treat well?" Ning Qiu smiled and used the hand that had just touched his nose to rub Xiao Wu's little head.

"Big Brother, can the information on this be hidden?" Xiao Wu immediately asked again.

The Crystal Identity Certificate in Xiao Wu's hand clearly stated, "Incarnation of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit." If others learned of it, it would cause plenty of unnecessary trouble.

"Of course. The information displayed on an Identity Certificate concerns personal privacy. If you want to hide certain information, all you need is a thought, and the relevant information will be concealed. Only you will be able to see it; others won't. When you want others to see it, you can reveal it again. Even if you want to hide all your personal information, that's completely possible." Ning Qiu mechanically repeated the answer he had heard from the system.

Xiao Wu tried controlling it with her thoughts, and sure enough, the words "Incarnation of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit" vanished from the holographic electronic personal display. As Xiao Wu continued to control it with her mind, all of her personal information disappeared, to the point that even Ning Qiu could no longer see it.

"How amazing!" Xiao Wu could not help exclaiming.

"Of course!" Ning Qiu smiled.

Anything produced by the system was no ordinary item!

Moreover, Xiao Wu did not know that Ning Qiu was the Little Village Chief of Holy Soul Village and the system's host. Though she had indeed blocked her personal information from outsiders, and no one else could see it, Ning Qiu could still obtain all of Xiao Wu's personal information from the system if he wished.

"Huh? Why is there suddenly a house here?"

A childish voice came from outside. Judging by the voice, it sounded like Gou Dan.

"There really is a house here. How strange—why is there a house on my land? I only harvested potatoes yesterday, so how did a house appear today?"

Another, more mature voice rang out. The speaker was clearly a middle-aged man.

"Strange. The door is clearly open, so why can't I get inside?"

The middle-aged man's voice was full of confusion. The main door was wide open, yet he simply could not cross the threshold. It was as though an invisible wall were blocking him outside.

"Ning Qiu!"

"Ning Qiu!"

"Ning Qiu!"

Outside the Treasure Pavilion stood one adult and two children. As they watched the two children emerge from inside, all three pairs of eyes fell upon one of the little boys.

"Gou Dan! Seventh Uncle, and Ning Chen!"

Ning Qiu greeted the three people standing outside the Treasure Pavilion one by one.

Seventh Uncle was not Ning Qiu's actual seventh uncle. The middle-aged man Ning Qiu called Seventh Uncle was Ning Qiu's father's cousin. As for Ning Chen, he was Seventh Uncle's only son. He was one year older than Ning Qiu and was already seven this year.

"Ning Qiu, how did you get in?" Ning Seventh Uncle asked curiously.

"Simple. With proof of identity like the one in Xiao Wu's hand, you'll be qualified to enter this Treasure Pavilion." No sooner had Ning Qiu finished answering than Xiao Wu took out the Crystal Identity Certificate she had stored in her Soul Tool.

"Proof of identity?"

Gou Dan's gaze sharpened as he murmured the words again. He fished his own identification out of his pocket and, half-believing and half-doubting, walked toward the Treasure Pavilion's entrance.

To Ning Sixth Uncle's astonishment, Gou Dan actually entered the Treasure Pavilion.

Ning Sixth Uncle refused to believe it. Without the Crystal Identity Certificate in Gou Dan's hand, he couldn't enter the Treasure Pavilion before him? He stepped forward, and that invisible transparent wall appeared again, blocking him outside once more.

"How strange!"

Ning Sixth Uncle cried out in disbelief. He had been to the capital of the Balak Kingdom and seen his share of the world, but this was the first time he had encountered something so bizarre.

Slap

Right in front of the children, Ning Sixth Uncle slapped himself.

It hurt!

Ning Sixth Uncle stared in shock. Everything he had experienced before his eyes wasn't a dream!
