The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

Chen Mengyao was intently watching the TV screen when a thought suddenly flashed through her mind as the plot reached an exciting point: Oh dear! I almost forgot that I have something important to ask Xiaobai! With that thought, she got up without hesitation and went into the space.

Upon entering the space, Chen Mengyao softly called out Xiaobai's name. A moment later, a white figure darted in like lightning—it was the adorable Xiaobai. Chen Mengyao smiled broadly as she summoned Xiaobai to her side, then gently embraced it, softly stroking its soft fur as if it were a precious treasure.

“Little White,” Chen Mengyao asked gently, “Did you notice the amazing way Ouyang Han was contacting me just now? I thought it was so cool! With your skills, can’t you achieve that effect yet? If we upgrade this space to the highest level, is it possible to realize this function? If we could introduce this technology into mobile phones, that would be fantastic! In the future, even if we are in a place with poor signal, like deep in the mountains, we won’t have to worry about losing contact with the outside world!” After saying that, Chen Mengyao looked at Little White in her arms with anticipation, waiting for its answer.

Xiao Bai frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then stretched out his slender fingers and gently swiped the interface in front of him, carefully examining the data. After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He turned to look at her and said, "Master, guess what? There really are some requirements here! Achieving the goal won't be easy. Not only do you need to raise your level to the highest level, but your merit points also need to reach the highest level."

Merit, in this context, refers to the various contributions you've made to the Eastern Ling Kingdom. Think about it: if you can help more people benefit, your accumulated merit points will naturally increase. So, Master, we must continue to work hard! For example, the high-yield grains and various fresh vegetables you promoted so vigorously before—these don't just earn you points; they also bring you considerable merit points. And if, unfortunately, a terrible plague breaks out in the future, if you can use that magical spring water or precious medicinal herbs to treat the sick, you will also gain a lot of points and merit points.

For example, your dedication and efforts for the military are also very important, and these will be counted as part of your contribution points. Furthermore, if you successfully promote the economic development of the entire nation, leading to increased national strength and a prosperous and peaceful life for the people, that would be an even greater achievement, and of course, it would earn you a large amount of merit points! In short, anything you do that benefits the prosperity of the Dongling Kingdom will certainly be rewarded with corresponding merit points!

Upon hearing this, Chen Mengyao's face lit up with a radiant smile, her heart surging with excitement. She thought to herself: Now that I've decided to make greater contributions to the Dongling Kingdom, I must give it my all!

Just then, a wonderful idea suddenly flashed into her mind—to use the magical appliances in her space to change the way of life in the entire Dongling Kingdom. The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, as if she could see the beautiful vision of the Dongling people living a convenient and comfortable life in the future.

Immediately afterward, Chen Mengyao turned to look at Xiaobai beside her, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, and asked eagerly, "Xiaobai, do you think it's possible to install cables in this Dongling area? If so, we can use water or wind power to generate electricity, and then every household can have electricity and enjoy light and convenience!"

Xiao Bai smiled and nodded, replying firmly, "Master, you don't need to worry about that. Installing cables in Dongling Kingdom will definitely not be a problem! When the time is right, you can either use your points to exchange for the cables and other items you need, or you can upgrade your space level to the highest level and return to the modern world to buy them. Moreover, if you can find the cement formula and organize people to build wide and flat cement roads, that would be a truly remarkable act of merit!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mengyao slapped her forehead, suddenly realizing, "Oh dear! How could I not have thought of that! If this road could be paved with cement, it would be so much more convenient for everyone to travel! Riding in a carriage wouldn't be so bumpy and uncomfortable. And once the road is finished, all the carriages I have in my spatial storage can be easily driven out!" Thinking of these wonderful prospects, Chen Mengyao couldn't help but beam with joy. She happily hugged Xiaobai beside her, gave it a big kiss, and excitedly said, "Xiaobai, you're so smart and amazing! I love you so much!"

After calming her excitement, Chen Mengyao suddenly remembered something important and quickly asked, "By the way, Xiaobai, I don't think I've asked you this before. Do you need to eat and rest every day like we humans do?" Xiaobai shook its little head and replied in a childish voice, "Master, actually, as for eating, I can eat or not. Because I'm an elf, you know, I'm different from you. My body doesn't need the food itself, but the energy it contains. So as long as there's a sufficient energy source, that's enough. And the way to get energy is either by eating or by receiving energy rewards from your various contributions. As for rest, I don't need too much time. I just need to find a quiet corner to meditate every now and then, which can quickly restore my energy. But, Master, if you could give me some little surprises more often, like discovering new energy sources or making some particularly impressive contributions, then I would be even more energetic!"

After hearing this, Chen Mengyao's eyes lit up. "Then I'll have to work hard! That way I can do good deeds and keep you full of energy. By the way, Xiaobai, what kind of contribution brings you the most energy?"

Little White fluttered its wings and flew to Chen Mengyao's shoulder. "Master, big things like changing the way of life in an entire region or saving countless lives yield a ton of energy. But even small acts of kindness accumulate to a considerable amount." Chen Mengyao nodded thoughtfully. "Hmm, I understand. I'll start with small things, slowly building up my strength so you can become super strong as soon as possible, and we can improve the environment here quickly." Little White happily bounced on her shoulder. "Okay, Master, I believe we will succeed!"

During their casual conversation, Chen Mengyao brought up a rather interesting topic. With a hint of anticipation, she said to Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, look, my space has now been upgraded to level six. Does this mean you can leave the space and come out to play with me? I really hope to spend more happy times with you."

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai's eyes sparkled, and it gently replied, "Of course, Master. As your space continues to upgrade, my mobility is also gradually increasing. Now I can go wherever I want to go. And I have a little secret to tell you: if your space can be upgraded to the highest level, and you make outstanding contributions to this country, then I will unlock more new functions, bringing you more surprises and help."

Chen Mengyao curiously leaned closer to Xiaobai, "Tell me quickly, what exactly is its function?"

Little White proudly puffed out its chest, "When my space reaches its maximum level and you make a great contribution to this country, I will be able to unlock the ability to travel through time and space. Not only that, I can also take you, Master, back to the past or to the future to correct past mistakes and prevent impending disasters. This is an extremely powerful and unique ability."

Chen Mengyao's mouth dropped open in surprise, then her face lit up with excitement. "Wow, then we really need to work harder! I want to do more good deeds to upgrade this space quickly so we can have this super cool ability!" Xiaobai happily spun around in the air a few times, indicating its agreement.

A faint sense of guilt welled up in Chen Mengyao's heart. She realized that this was the first time since arriving here that she had truly engaged in such a serious conversation with Xiaobai. Before this, she seemed to have never really taken the time to understand this companion who had been by her side. Her life was always filled with various busy matters, to the point that she had neglected Xiaobai, who had been silently accompanying her. But today, through this in-depth conversation, she gained a more thorough understanding of Xiaobai and felt its innocence and kindness.

So, Chen Mengyao decided to treat Xiaobai even better to make up for her past neglect. She carefully selected many delicious things Xiaobai might like from the cold storage, then walked up to Xiaobai and said apologetically, "Xiaobai, I'm so sorry, I haven't had time to get to know you properly. Today I finally have the chance to have a deep conversation with you. Consider these treats my compensation. From now on, I'll try my best to make time to play with you, and we'll spend more happy times together."

Upon hearing Chen Mengyao's words, Xiaobai's eyes revealed tenderness and understanding. It gently wagged its tail and said softly, "It's alright, Master. Everything you do is for our shared future. I also gain energy from opening the shop and promoting the seeds. If it weren't for these things, I wouldn't be able to appear before you so full of energy. From now on, I'll go out and play with you more often, and we'll enjoy the beauty of life together."

At this point, Xiao Bai suddenly paused, a mysterious glint in its eyes. It leaned closer to Chen Mengyao and whispered, "Master, I actually have many more functions that you might not know. As your spatial level increases, my functions also increase. For example, I can now sense dangers within a radius of several hundred kilometers around you, allowing you to prepare in advance. I can also freely change size, and even become invisible with you, so you can avoid danger at crucial moments."

My combat abilities are also quite strong; I can completely protect you from harm. Furthermore, I can help you identify the true faces of those in disguise, and distinguish between good and bad people. Even more amazingly, I can eavesdrop on the thoughts and plans of villains, letting you know their schemes in advance. Also, I can monitor what you want to see, but the range is limited to about 500 meters away from you. This is a new function I recently acquired. So, Master, let's work together to continuously upgrade your space, and my functions will increase as well.”

When Chen Mengyao heard that Xiaobai now possessed so many practical functions, she was speechless with shock. She could hardly believe her ears; it all seemed so incredible. Fortunately, she had decided on a whim to come in and chat with Xiaobai today; otherwise, she might have continued to overlook these amazing changes in Xiaobai.

So, with great joy, she fed Xiaobai the food she had prepared, bit by bit. The food was colorful and fragrant, making it very appetizing. Xiaobai was also extremely excited; it opened its little mouth and ate with great relish. After each bite, it would look up at Chen Mengyao, its eyes filled with gratitude and joy.

The two, one human and one pet, quietly enjoyed this rare and heartwarming moment. A happy smile graced Chen Mengyao's face as she gently stroked Xiaobai's head, feeling its soft fur and warm body. Xiaobai, in turn, occasionally let out joyful barks, as if expressing its happiness and contentment to Chen Mengyao.

The entire space was filled with a harmonious and beautiful atmosphere, as if even the air had become exceptionally fresh and sweet. At this moment, Chen Mengyao deeply felt the indescribable bond between herself and Xiaobai, and cherished every moment spent with Xiaobai even more.
