You came here to stock up?

Liang Shixian was quite frustrated. Ignoring Ji Ruo, he turned around and continued his training.

Ji Ruo had already reached the Qi Pulse Realm, while he was only a level nine Martial Apprentice.

Even those two birds were stronger than him. This class monitor was under a lot of pressure now.

Ji Ruo chuckled, took a deep breath, and then charged toward his two new disciples.

Three bolts of lightning weaved through the massive bird's nest, burning up large amounts of dry branches.

Fortunately, the nest was huge enough that there wasn't any particularly serious damage for the time being.

It was just that some spots were missing here and there, with patches of scorch marks, making it look very unsightly.

But that didn't matter. The main destruction was caused by those two little rascals. Ji Ruo had been trying to chase them down and make them stop messing around—it wasn't like he actually caught them.

Anyway, when Wind God Falcon Aunt came to complain, Ji Ruo would just say that.

"Hahahaha! Run faster, run even faster! I'm gonna catch you!"

"Chirp chirp~ (Nyah nyah nyah~ Master can't catch us~)"

"Chirp chirp~ (Can't catch us, can't catch us~)"

Regardless of the outcome, Ji Ruo was having a great time.

So the nest grew more and more chaotic.

But that didn't matter either—this was those two little ones' home!

If they didn't care, why should Ji Ruo?

When life is good, you've got to cut loose!

Half an hour later—

The two little ones finally stopped. After all, they had just been born. Even if they loved to play and cause trouble, they were already completely exhausted.

"Chirp chirp~ (Master, hungry~)"

"Chirp chirp~ (Eat meat, yummy meat!)"

"Alright, alright, meat it is." Ji Ruo laughed warmly. After the intense exercise, he was a bit hungry too.

In that half hour, he hadn't just been playing around with the two little ones. He had also tested his current strength and some of the abilities he gained after opening his Qi Pulse.

First, because he had opened his Qi Pulse, he could directly absorb spiritual energy from the air, greatly reducing stamina consumption during intense activity.

In simple terms, it enhanced his endurance.

Second, his strength and speed had more than tripled. Without using 'Thunderclap and Flash,' he could sprint a hundred meters in under four seconds at full speed!

And with 'Thunderclap and Flash,' he could almost do it in under a second!

His eyesight, dynamic vision, and reaction speed had all greatly improved, though he wasn't sure exactly how much.

With a single arm, he could probably swing with several thousand jin of force. Even without any technique, a full-powered sword swing could slash out a wind blade with some killing power—Hard Sword Qi!

Slightly marveling at the power of the Qi Pulse Realm, Ji Ruo turned and walked toward the 'Freezer.'

Then Ji Ruo suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Rosie was still eating?!

How long had she been at this?!

She looked so tiny, how could she eat so much?

If he took her back to Great Xia after the Martial Exam, could he even afford to raise her?

Taking a few steps to stand behind Rosie, Ji Ruo looked down.

Rosie was lying in the 'Spirit Herb and Treasure Zone,' 'eating like crazy.'

Strangely, from Ji Ruo's angle, it looked like Rosie was eating, but actually, she seemed to just be pawing the spirit herbs and treasures within reach toward herself, and they would naturally disappear.

It didn't look like eating—it looked more like stocking up?!

Completely absorbed in her hoarding, Little Rosie didn't notice Ji Ruo had come up behind her. She kept pawing and letting out silly giggles.

Ji Ruo grabbed Rosie by the scruff of her neck and lifted her up. "You little rascal, what are you—"

'Clink~'

Something fell from Rosie's chest to the ground with a 'clink.' Ji Ruo froze for a moment.

Little Rosie instinctively covered her face with her paws. "Meow meow meow meow (Rosie didn't steal anything, Rosie didn't steal anything. Auntie said we could eat whatever we want.)"

"Steal?"

Ji Ruo laughed in exasperation.

He looked down. What had fallen from Rosie seemed to be a mirror the size of a baby's fist?

"What the hell is this?"

At first, Ji Ruo didn't pay it much attention. He bent down to pick it up.

But the moment his finger touched the mirror, Ji Ruo froze.

[Clang clang clang clang~]

[Congratulations, host kiddo, for obtaining: The All-Encompassing Mirror of Entering and Exiting Anytime, Anywhere, Ascending to Heaven and Plunging into the Earth!]

[Category: Functional Tool.]

[Quality: Theoretically Perfect (Flawed)]

[Special Effect 1: Enter and Exit Anytime, Anywhere, Ascend to Heaven and Plunge into the Earth (After recording coordinates, allows instantaneous spatial travel) (Incomplete)]

[Special Effect 2: All-Encompassing (Contains a storage space that can be divided into zones with set storage rules; current rule: Time-stop Preservation)]

[Manufacturer: Fantasy Sovereign]

[Note: Judging by the tool's name, this Fantasy Sovereign is probably not a serious entity either.]

[Current Ownership: Rosie (Judged as the host's pet; this tool can be collected into the Card Collection Album)]

[Current Cards Collected in Album: None]

[Note: The joy of collecting cards~]

[Note: My turn! Draw a card!]

The system suddenly popped up a dense string of messages, dazzling Ji Ruo.

It seemed a new feature had been unlocked too.

Seeing the mirror in Ji Ruo's hands, Rosie stretched out a claw and let out a mournful meow: "Meow~ (Master, that's my treasure!)"

Ji Ruo glanced at her and said, "Kids can't hold onto such valuable things. Master will keep it safe for you."

His expression and tone were exactly like a parent telling a child after New Year's money was received: "What does a kid need so much money for? Dad will save it for you."

"Meow~ (Master is mean!)"

Ignoring Rosie, Ji Ruo began studying the 'All-Encompassing Mirror.'

The mirror wasn't smooth like a conventional one; its surface had bumps and dips, with irregular straight lines dividing it into diamond-shaped facets of varying sizes.

It didn't reflect the image of whoever looked into it. In fact, each diamond facet showed a different scene.

A single facet displayed one image, two adjacent facets combined into a new one, three formed another, and so on.

Even changing the viewing angle altered those images—formless, ever-changing.

Though irregular, it inexplicably gave Ji Ruo a sense of perfection.

Yet within that perfection lay a flaw—at the mirror's center, one diamond facet was missing.

"A storage tool, huh."

Ji Ruo rubbed his chin, directly storing it into the system's Card Collection Album, then manipulated it through the album.

Instantly, a seemingly boundless chaotic space appeared in Ji Ruo's mind.

He was awed by the sheer vastness of the space, but his face darkened immediately after.

Because the space, after revealing its full scope, began shrinking rapidly. In the blink of an eye, Ji Ruo saw a small hill.

It was the supplies Rosie had previously stored in the 'All-Encompassing Mirror.'

Grilled fish, grilled meat, spirit fruits, and spirit plants—piled densely.

"No wonder you little one can eat so much—you're not just eating, you're taking it all with you!"

Rosie drooped her ears in grievance and whispered, "Meow~ (Rosie didn't want to go hungry again. Without Master, Rosie was very, very hungry. Couldn't find food, even the fish bullied me.)"

Ji Ruo's heart softened: "Don't worry. That won't happen again."

Rosie perked up happily: "Meow meow meow~ (Really? Then what about Rosie's treasure?)"

"I'll keep it safe for you."

Rosie's burning hope was instantly doused: "Meow~ (Fine.)"

Ji Ruo looked back into the 'All-Encompassing Mirror.'

Ninety percent of those 'supplies' had been swiped from Wind God Falcon Aunt's stock—thank goodness Aunt had plenty of reserves, or Rosie would have cleaned her out long ago!

"Don't steal anymore from now on!"

Ji Ruo said sternly.

Education had to start young.

With her treasure confiscated, Rosie replied weakly: "Meow~ (Got it~)"
