Who understands? He traveled through time with a high-spec spatial ability.

In the evening, Qiao Jingjing brought the sprouted soybeans into her space, watered them, and then planned to ride her electric tricycle to the mountains.

I've had this space for so long and haven't even glanced at it yet; I wonder if they'll be angry. Riding the electric scooter, if you ignore what you're wearing, you really have the illusion of being in the modern world before time travel.

I thought I wouldn't be able to go any further after riding halfway up, but when I got closer I realized there was a mountain road. I hummed a little tune and enjoyed the breeze all the way.

"I ride my beloved little motorcycle, it will never get stuck in traffic."

"Looking at a mountain makes you feel like you're running yourself to death." It didn't look far, but it took me half an hour to reach the top. I got off the bike, grabbed my entrenching tool, and headed into the woods. The further I went, the more shocked I became. The abundance of resources in the mountains was outrageous.

In the Daqingshan Mountains, you might not find morel mushrooms for an hour, but here they were everywhere. Qiao Jingjing excitedly dug for morels, quickly filling a basket. She also discovered many other precious mushrooms, such as matsutake and termite mushrooms. She filled several baskets and put them into her spatial storage.

Just as she was about to leave, Qiao Jingjing suddenly heard someone speaking. Huh? There's another person in my space?

"Woman, you still know how to come back?"

This silly, chuunibyou-like CEO vibe sounds a bit off.

"Woman, I'll show you what happens when you make me angry."

Qiao Jingjing looked around but found nothing, except two silly roe deer tilting their heads and looking at her with clear eyes.

"Who are you?"

"I'm the lovable 'Lucky Guy,' ladies, are you scared?"

Damn it! Qiao Jingjing felt her fist harden. She'd actually been tricked by a bird. Unhurriedly, she pulled out a handful of pine nuts, eating them with a look of pure enjoyment. She didn't believe the bird could resist.

Less than a minute later, I heard the sound of wings flapping. No wonder I couldn't see it; the bird's plumage was too similar to that tree's.

Fa Cai Ge flew to Qiao Jingjing's shoulder and pecked her ear.

"Woman, I, this young master, allow you to feed me."

Qiao Jingjing rolled her eyes and handed the pine nuts to it.

"How can you talk like that? I bought it and put it in my space. Where did you learn all this nonsense?"

"Since you gave me pine nuts, I'll reluctantly tell you," Brother Fortune said, preening his feathers. "I'm a phoenix, of course I can talk."

"A phoenix?" Qiao Jingjing's eyes widened. "Don't lie to me! Although I've never seen a phoenix, I know about phoenixes rising from the ashes and being reborn. You don't resemble one at all. You're clearly a parrot! Besides, what phoenix is ​​like you, so talkative?"

"Foolish woman, I'm still young, of course I haven't undergone Nirvana yet. When I grow up, I will naturally become a true phoenix," Brother Fortune said smugly.

Qiao Jingjing smiled and patted Fa Cai Ge's head.

"Alright then, Your Majesty Phoenix, you'll be following me from now on. I guarantee you'll live the high life." Qiao Jingjing didn't take it seriously at all, thinking the parrot was just bragging.

"Hmm, I'll trust you for now. But you're not allowed to take this long to come in again, or I'll ignore you."

"I know, I know."

"Since you're behaving well, I'll give you a gift. Come with me!"

Upon hearing there would be a gift, Qiao Jingjing figured a little greediness wouldn't hurt. She followed the direction of the "Lucky Guy" into the woods. Passing by the silly roe deer, the two creatures neither hid nor avoided her; how on earth had they survived this long?

After walking for about fifteen minutes, Qiao Jingjing heard the sound of flowing water. This must be the source of the stream. Green weeds covered both sides, and the water was shallow, barely reaching Fa Cai's head. She watched as the parrot waded through the water, taking a few steps towards the end, and then disappeared!

Two minutes later, Fa Cai reappeared, carrying something in his mouth as he rushed out of the water, shaking his head and tail to shake off the water droplets.

Qiao Jingjing walked closer out of curiosity and found that Fa Cai was holding a small, all-black bag in his mouth.

"What is this?" Qiao Jingjing asked.

Fa Cai used his beak to hold the bottom of the bag and emptied its contents, then looked at Qiao Jingjing triumphantly.

Qiao Jingjing was startled. Could this be a mustard seed storage bag? Upon closer inspection, the items that were poured out were increasingly rare. There was a dragon's saliva grass emitting a strange fragrance, a medicine book containing ancient secret recipes, and a seemingly ordinary jade tablet.

A bird, neck stiff, is still waiting for praise.

"You're so amazing, Fa Cai! Thank you for the gift," Qiao Jingjing said happily.

Fa Cai cackled twice before retracting its stretched neck, seemingly quite satisfied with Qiao Jingjing's reaction.

"Where did you find this? Can I go take a look?"

"no,"

"why?"

"You're not a birdman! How are you going to get in with a size like you?!"

Damn it! My fist is hard again!

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Study of the Upper Capital Palace

The emperor sat on his dragon throne, his brow furrowed, his pen occasionally tracing patterns on the paper. A hint of worry flickered in his eyes, as if he carried the weight of the entire nation on his shoulders. Scrolls of memorials were piled high on his desk, each word like a boulder pressing down on his heart.

His pen moved slowly and heavily, knowing full well that every decision he made concerned the future of the nation, and every word he wrote could affect the lives of millions of people. He stopped writing, rubbed his temples, and sighed deeply.

Outside the window, sunlight filtered through thin clouds, casting dappled shadows on the palace's golden bricks. However, the emperor's mood was as heavy as the gloomy weather. He thought of the war on the border, the suffering of the people, and his sons' divided loyalties—these thoughts surged into his mind like a tide, leaving him breathless.

The emperor picked up his pen again, his gaze hardening. The pen danced across the paper, and the emperor's handwriting grew ever more vigorous and powerful.

The chief eunuch, Li Quan'an, entered carrying a teacup, bowed slightly, placed the teacup to the emperor's right, and respectfully said:

"Your Majesty, Master Yiyuan has arrived. Would you like to see him now, or—?"

Emperor Xuanjing paused, "Master Xuan, come in."

A moment later, Master Yiyuan, draped in a kasaya, beamed with joy. “Your Majesty, this humble monk just sensed movement in the Bodhi Jade in the southwest direction. It seems Your Highness’s heart ailment is hopeful, and Your Majesty can rest assured.”

Emperor Xuanjing's gloomy expression vanished, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Is what the master said true? Could it be that the day the master predicted ten years ago has come to pass, and today is it?"

Yi Yuan remained silent, saying, "Your Majesty, this opportunity must not be missed. This humble monk has come to take his leave. If it can help the common people, it is truly my duty. Your Majesty, please do not worry, and chant Amitabha." After saying this, he rose and left gracefully.

Emperor Xuanjing once again regretted not listening to the master's words five years ago and insisting on making Xiaoqi the crown prince. As the master predicted, Zhou'er was secretly murdered and almost did not survive the calamity in his life.

This time, no matter what, he would protect Zhou'er from further harm.
