Qin Yan took a photo of the Yellow Rock Crystal, lay on her stomach on the bed with her lower legs raised behind her, and sent it to Third Uncle.
Qin Yan: [Voice message]
"Third Uncle, look, look! This was knocked off a giant ant's head. It seems like it can be used for artifact refining!"
Fu Wenzi did not reply right away.
She sent voice messages to her other uncles, too.
In her soft, sweet voice, she told them about going to Cloudtop Miao Village to rescue Great-Great-Grandmother and about her adventures.
Only Fu Nanshan replied immediately.
Fu Nanshan: "Mm, Yanyan was very impressive."
He was not much of a talker, but whenever his little niece sent him a message, he always responded.
Sometimes it was a voice message, even if his reply was very short.
Sometimes he replied in writing.
Qin Yan immediately asked where Younger Uncle was...
"Younger Uncle, the Bodhi seed you gave me sprouted!"
She started a video call with Younger Uncle, then climbed out of bed with her phone and went to the balcony.

Qin Yan gently touched the little Bodhi seedling with her finger.

Fu Nanshan: "I'll be back the day after tomorrow."
Qin Yan's eyes curved
