The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

Little White fluttered its shimmering wings and hovered above Chen Mengyao's supermarket space. Its eyes gleamed with intelligence as it began the upgrade process.

It gently chanted an incantation, and a mysterious energy wave emanated from its fingertips, instantly enveloping the entire supermarket space. The shelves, merchandise, and even the air within the space seemed to be activated by this energy, beginning to vibrate slightly.

Then, Xiaobai waved her magic wand, and dazzling rays of light intertwined in the space, forming a complex magic circle. This magic circle emitted powerful energy, enveloping the entire supermarket space. Magical light flickered, and the space seemed to be slowly stretched by an invisible force, its area rapidly expanding. The previously cramped shelves and merchandise now had much more spacious display area.

As time went on, the supermarket space began to undergo subtle changes. The shelves became more organized, the goods more abundant and diverse, and even the air was filled with a fresh fragrance. More remarkably, the flow of time within the space became adjustable, allowing Chen Mengyao to manage the supermarket more efficiently.

The scene outside the supermarket was even more surprising; several fertile plots of land had miraculously appeared on the previously empty ground. These plots were glossy and exuded a faint earthy fragrance, seemingly brimming with boundless vitality. The spatial spirit gently touched the soil, and instantly, rows of tender green seedlings sprouted from it—various kinds of fruits and vegetables, thriving under the sunlight.

Finally, as the light from the magic circle gradually faded, the space spirit nodded in satisfaction. It knew that this upgrade not only made the supermarket space more perfect, but also brought Chen Mengyao's dream one step closer.

Watching this scene, Chen Mengyao's eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation. She seemed to foresee the future; this supermarket space would not only become a new starting point for her career, but also a green home full of miracles and hope. She looked gratefully at the space sprite, Xiaobai, her heart filled with longing and anticipation for the unknown journey ahead.

Xiao Bai revealed to Chen Mengyao the magical function hidden deep within the space, capable of freely adjusting the internal flow of time. This function, like a dazzling pearl, stirred ripples in Chen Mengyao's heart. She could hardly believe her ears; this was simply a miracle tailor-made for her!

Overwhelmed with emotion, Chen Mengyao forgot all restraint and propriety, rushing forward to hug Xiaobai tightly. Her eyes shone with boundless gratitude and joy, as if she wanted to pour all this indescribable emotion into this magical being that had given her limitless possibilities. Her voice trembled slightly as she murmured repeatedly, "Thank you, Xiaobai, thank you so much! This means so much to me, you're simply my savior!"

The Crown Prince and his companions, who witnessed this scene, were all shocked and astonished. Their faces were filled with disbelief, as if they had seen some incredible spectacle. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with amazement at Xiaobai's abilities and confusion about Chen Mengyao's sudden affection.

The prince's lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but then he was speechless. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart. He understood that at this moment, Chen Mengyao's emotions were so sincere and passionate, an ultimate recognition and gratitude for Xiaobai's abilities. And he, along with his brothers and sisters, could only stand silently by, witnessing the birth of this rare friendship and miracle.

Filled with curiosity and anticipation, Chen Mengyao once again inquired with Xiaobai about the specific points required to upgrade to the next level and the new features that would be unlocked. She secretly calculated in her mind what level her current savings could help her climb. Xiaobai patiently explained, "To upgrade to the next level, you need to accumulate 200,000 points, which is equivalent to 100,000 taels of silver. This upgrade will significantly expand the supermarket area and increase the amount of land you own. This new land is extraordinary; crops on it grow much faster than outside, bringing you a much richer harvest. In addition, your house will also expand accordingly, adding a kitchen and a bedroom, making your life more convenient and comfortable."

Similarly, when you decide to attempt the third level, you will need to accumulate an additional 300,000 points, equivalent to 150,000 taels of silver. Upon reaching the fourth level, you will be pleasantly surprised to discover the appearance of a spiritual spring well. This well not only nourishes all things but also brings life to everything within the space, while maintaining the same area and land expansion.

Speaking of Level 5, Xiaobai's voice held a hint of mystery: "At this level, you will possess your own forest, where numerous rare medicinal herbs and exotic animals grow, adding a touch of natural charm and endless fun to your space. At Level 6, you will master the magical ability to replenish goods remotely. No matter where you are in the space, with just a simple thought, you can accurately deliver goods to the shop's warehouse, greatly improving the efficiency and convenience of your business."

As for level seven, that unlocks the teleportation function, allowing you to move instantly within space and traverse any corner at will. Level eight grants you the ability to become invisible, allowing you to conceal your presence when needed and remain undetected. And at level nine, you can even transcend the boundaries of time and space, using the internet to research information and communicate with others in Dongling Kingdom and even further afield, truly achieving seamless information connectivity and free and unrestricted communication.

However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. When you climb to the highest level, the tenth, you will possess an infinitely vast space, with land spread in all directions. Whatever crop you wish to grow, you will find the most suitable soil and climate. Even more astonishingly, you will be able to monitor people throughout the country and even other countries, gaining insight into the myriad aspects of life. The appearance of a luxurious villa pushes luxury and comfort to the extreme, complete with all the appliances and numerous rooms, fulfilling all your fantasies of a beautiful life. Even more incredibly, you will possess the ability to freely travel between ancient and modern times. For just one billion points, or fifty million silver coins, you can embark on this wondrous journey through time. Why does the highest level cost so much money? Because its functions are the most powerful, thus requiring a vast amount of energy.

Xiao Bai's words were like opening doors to an unknown world, leaving everyone present speechless, filled with awe and longing. They had never imagined that as their levels increased, they could gain so many incredible functions and experiences.

Chen Mengyao's eyes widened as she listened intently to the introduction of each level's function, a surge of excitement and longing welling up within her. These functions sounded incredibly tempting! Whether it was the first-level function that improved efficiency, or the second and third levels with their powerful auxiliary functions… every single one of them captivated her. Especially when she heard about the sixth-level function, her eyes lit up, because it was precisely what she urgently needed right now.

If she could successfully upgrade to level six, that would be fantastic! She wouldn't have to shuttle back and forth between the shop and the yard to restock anymore. Just imagining that easy and convenient scenario filled her with longing. However, reality poured cold water on her hopes—after some calculations, she discovered that upgrading to level six would require a whopping one million taels of silver! This number was undoubtedly astronomical for her at that moment, as she was far from having earned such a huge fortune.

"Sigh... these features are indeed amazing, but unfortunately I don't have enough funds right now to upgrade them all at once. If only I had that money, I'd love to upgrade all the levels immediately! But alas, it seems I'll have to give up this beautiful dream for now." Chen Mengyao shook her head regretfully, a hint of helplessness and disappointment in her eyes. But quickly, she rallied: "It's okay. Although I can't achieve it all at once, as long as I persevere and continue to work diligently, I'll eventually save enough money to reach my goal!"

As the saying goes, what is said without intention may be taken to heart by the listener. When Ouyang Han heard her words, he couldn't help but think to himself: a mere one million taels, what difficulty could that be? As long as he could persuade his brothers and sisters to each contribute some silver, this matter could be easily resolved. Unexpectedly, the others present shared the same thought as Ouyang Han. They all believed that since there were so many people, everyone only needed to contribute a small amount of money, and together it would be enough to meet the needs.

Just then, the Crown Prince broke the silence and said, "Yao'er, it's just a little money. Each of us brothers and sisters can contribute a portion to help you smoothly advance to level six." As soon as he finished speaking, the others echoed his words, agreeing with the Crown Prince's statement, and said in unison, "That's right, that's right, we can settle this matter by each contributing a little silver."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mengyao was deeply moved once again, her eyes instantly welling up with tears. She quickly shook her head and waved her hands, replying with a troubled expression, "Oh dear, how can I accept such kindness?" However, facing her refusal, Prince Duan smiled slightly and comforted her, "Don't feel embarrassed, you've brought us quite a few benefits! Once all the shops have successfully opened and are profitable, we can work together to help you advance to the highest level. To be honest, even we are full of curiosity about the mysterious world you described and really want to explore it!" As he spoke, Prince Duan Ouyang Yu scratched his head slightly shyly, a faint blush rising on his face.

Before Chen Mengyao could even react and refuse, everyone present quickly reached into their pockets or sleeves and pulled out thick stacks of silver notes. These notes were brand new and neat, exuding a faint scent of ink and the unique aroma of paper.

Some people pulled out smaller amounts of silver notes, but still at least 100,000 taels; the most generous of them all was Prince Duan, who pulled out a full 300,000 taels of silver notes! That was truly a huge sum of money!

The group worked quickly, and in no time they had gathered all the silver notes together, totaling a full one million taels of silver! The pile of money was as impressive as a small mountain.

Then, as if they had planned it beforehand, everyone walked up to Chen Mengyao and rushed to stuff the silver notes in their hands into hers. Faced with such enthusiastic gestures, Chen Mengyao was momentarily at a loss and could only passively open her arms to receive the endless stream of silver notes handed to her.

Despite being filled with surprise and gratitude, she knew she could no longer refuse such kindness. Therefore, Chen Mengyao silently accepted the enormous sum of money, secretly vowing to repay these generous relatives tenfold in the future!
