Xia Wanwan impatiently knocked on the lid. "Hey... come out... stinky old man."
The Glazed Glass Lamp visibly froze, then gave off an ethereal chime that seemed tinged with displeasure.
"Quick, carry her down! Do not let her anger the deity!"
The Eldest Princess's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly ordered someone forward.
But what happened next left her stunned enough to last eight hundred years.
The little baby actually took out a packet of something unknown, tore it open, pulled out a thin slice, and stuffed it into the gap beneath the lid.
"Your... favorite... potato chips..."
The lid of the Glazed Glass Lamp actually opened a crack and sucked the slice inside.

With a pop, she pulled it off.
The young Taoist was frightened out of his wits.
He dropped Xia Wanwan and fled with his hands over his head, as though he had seen a ghost.
Holding the lid, Xia Wanwan toddled unsteadily toward the emperor. Frightened too, he immediately rose, stepped down, and picked her up.
"For you... Great Xia... I'll protect..."
"My country... I'll guard it."
Great Xia was under her protection! Her country was hers to guard!
The emperor's eyes grew hot. He held Xia Wanwan and kissed her several times. "Wanwan, you are the hope of the Great Xia Dynasty!"
Xia Wanwan turned her face aside, wiped off his saliva, and looked at Mother with a pout!
Smoke slowly spilled out of the Glazed Glass Lamp.
The smoke spread with a haze of pale purple spiritual energy, and everyone present felt warmth and comfort wash over them.
"Inhaling this can prolong your life!" At
