The beloved baby has a space

It was the third day of the tenth month, not long before Wang Wulang's birthday. Ayu had already prepared a birthday gift for him and placed it in his room, just waiting for her fifth brother to come back so he could open it and see it.

Besides her fifth brother, there were also her eldest uncle and aunt, her second uncle and aunt, her eldest brother and sister-in-law, and her nephew. The family had reserved small courtyards and houses for them, and her birthday gifts were placed in their rooms one by one.

I never thought much of it before, but now I suddenly realize that with my family not around and hearing these words, I can't help but feel worried.

Before going to sleep, Qin Huai sent someone over to deliver some snacks to the Wang family, but also took the opportunity to find out why Ayu hadn't waited for him that day.

In the past, even when he was busy, Ayu would either go to the side hall of the Hanlin Academy to read and wait, or wait in the astrology department; she would never just leave like this.

Because they had agreed that when he was seconded to a coastal city, the two of them would have to live apart. The two kids didn't think too much about it, only that they still had time now, so they should spend as much time together as possible, since it might not be so easy to see each other in the future.

Ayu took a bite of the pastry but had no appetite. She told Tangyuan to go and tell him, "Sister Tangyuan, tell him not to worry. I'm fine. I'll talk to him if anything comes up."

"Okay." Tangyuan handed her a new hot water bottle and put it in her hand. "You should go to sleep early too. No matter what, you have to take care of yourself first. The weather is getting colder, so don't catch a cold."

"It's not that cold. Wanning City isn't as freezing as Wangbei County. It's like this in October." Although Ayu said this, she still obediently took the hot water bottle and warmed it in her arms.

He then asked, "Have the others arrived?"

"Don't worry, the nanny who's with the old lady now comes from the palace. She had everyone do these things a long time ago. And you know what? This has saved the masters a lot of trouble!"

"Yes, Grandma Chang is very good. I was thinking about whether I should find a new nanny for my mother as well." She thought to herself, since she was going to the palace anyway, asking them for a capable person should be fine.

After Tangyuan left, Ayu lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and her thoughts jumped into her personal space.

"Elf, fairy, are you asleep?"

"When have you ever seen me sleep?" Tuanzi asked helplessly. It was catching the fish that Ayu had fed in the Merit Pond and throwing them into the pond it had dug.

There were also fish, shrimp, and crabs that Ayu had caught when she was a child. When she was little, she was greedy, and her brothers would give her whatever little creatures they caught to play with, which she would then put into her space to keep as pets.

Later, she developed a bond with the animals, and she couldn't bear to eat them, keeping them all in her online space.

To be honest, Tuanzi had never heard of anyone whose guardian's personal space was like this, a huge farm park with all kinds of fruits and vegetables, as well as common and uncommon animals and plants.

It's practically a combination of a farm, zoo, botanical garden, and ecological park.

She could already imagine that once her son went to the seaside city she had always longed for, there would definitely be another aquarium there.

“Elf, can you ‘see’ how Fifth Brother and Second Uncle are doing now?” Ayu said. “Actually, I’m not sure at all.”

"I don't know how to tell fortunes." Tuanzi thought to itself that the reason it could now cover such a wide area of ​​Wanning City and know about all the big and small things in the city that hadn't been deliberately concealed was due to a combination of factors.

For example, it is one of the few cubs nurtured by the power of the source space itself, and it is the first to travel through countless chaotic time-space sequences to reach the side of the object of protection. Moreover, the object of protection is in a reconstructed time-space world, and the object of protection is still an infant when the infant growth protection prize pool is automatically activated...

In short, such abilities are not replicable, which is why the source space is relatively lenient towards it and its offspring. In a sense, they are both key observation targets of the source space.

"If I want to know their news as soon as possible, what's the fastest way? I'm going to the palace to see the Empress Dowager tomorrow, but she lives in the palace all the time, so there's not much she can do. At most, she can lend me some people to help me investigate. But Fifth Brother is more than 5,000 li away from Wanning City, and Second Uncle's Chang'an County is not close either. By the time we get there and back, it'll be too late!"

[Don't worry, there's a way.] Tuanzi couldn't bear to see her son so anxious and upset, so she immediately pulled out her favorability logbook.

The above is the data monitoring system that the source space usually uses. It got it by tricking the system into giving it to them. As long as the system actively records the people in its little notebook, their favorability towards the child will be updated in real time, without the person being present. [Your second uncle's favorability is 90, and your second aunt's is 91. There hasn't been much change in the last two months, except for the date on your birthday, when a few decimal places were added, indicating that they were relatively safe around your birthday.]

[Oh, your fifth brother's rating changes quite quickly. It started at 95, then suddenly jumped to 96 a month ago, 99 half a month ago, 80 ten days ago, and this morning, in a very short time, it fluctuated between 80 and 98 before finally settling at 98. Wow, his favorability rating towards you is now ranked fourth!]

"How could this be?" Ayu knew that these rapidly fluctuating favorability ratings sometimes did not mean that their feelings for her had changed, but rather that they had thought of her at certain times, and their feelings for her changed along with their thoughts.

My second uncle and aunt haven't changed much; either they haven't thought about her much, or nothing has happened to them.

Fifth Brother has changed so much.

"Has something happened to Fifth Brother?!"

[Oh, probably not. Although I don't have monitoring privileges for them, their favorability rating is still bright red, not gray, which means they're at least still alive.]

This only tells you whether the other person is alive or not; you can't know their physical condition or mental state.

After all, it is only the guardian of the offspring, not the guardian of this planet. Its authority has already exceeded its bounds. If it exceeds them any further, it may be forced back into space by other source guardians who are jealous and twisted.

Ayu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that I'm still alive for now—by the way, why am I fourth place?"

[Originally, your fifth brother wouldn't have even ranked fourth.] Tuanzi said, [First place is your mother and Qin Huai, both with 100, then your great-grandmother with 99.3, followed by your maternal grandfather with 97, and fourth place is your father with 95.]

"Right now, he's ranked fourth, after your mother, Qin Huai, and grandmother," Tuanzi said. "By the way, there's another person you should pay attention to. His favorability towards you is unusual; I discovered it suddenly. He's a member of the Xifeng Kingdom's envoy delegation. Everyone else in the Xifeng Kingdom's delegation left, but he stayed and is still in the Honglu Temple. You haven't met, but he has seen you, and his favorability towards you immediately jumped to 90, which is extremely high."

The Wang family members generally have a 90% or higher level of affection for Ayu, except for a few servants who are not very familiar with her.

"Oh, oh." Ayu didn't care much about that; she only cared about her family and friends.

“Elf, let’s talk about that later. Do you know a quick way to contact Fifth Brother? I heard that sending a message by carrier pigeon is faster than riding a horse, but pigeons are risky, they’re big and can’t fly that far, and they can only carry a limited number of messages.” This is what Ayu is most worried about right now.

"That's simple. On your continent, the fastest, most stable, and safest flyer is a creature called the Cliff Eagle. Its wingspan is over ten feet, and it flies through sand and stones. It can easily carry a message, let alone two people. As long as there's enough food, it can travel five thousand miles in three to five days. By the way, it's also a totem for several neighboring countries besides Da Chang, so generally no one captures or harms it."

Most importantly, its size and flight capabilities make it the undisputed ruler of the skies; aside from dying of old age, disease, or sheer recklessness, it is virtually immortal.

"That's amazing! Where can I find someone like that?"

"What a coincidence! Empress Dowager Dachang happens to have one; it was a gift from her old best friend. If you can get it, you'll be quite capable."

Tuanzi thought to herself, "Why don't I give the kid a task while I'm at it?"

She hadn't done any tasks for a while, and hadn't managed to get a lot of freebies from the source space.

The main issue is that the source space is preventing it from exploiting loopholes, and the tasks it throws out are becoming increasingly difficult to complete, with very demanding conditions.

To expect the child to complete the process by himself is child labor abuse!

Ayu was dumbfounded: "My...my best friend?"
