Grandma Zhu was worried that the weather outside might be unsafe, so she sighed and walked toward the water tank in the corner.

"I'll go check on the water tank."

"Mother, I went to check the water vat, and there's no water in it."

Liu went to find Old Lady Zhu after seeing that the water vat was empty, hoping that she could go out and fetch some water.

As a result, as soon as she and Old Lady Zhu arrived in front of the water vat, they found that the vat was already full of water.

Liu frowned and stared blankly at Old Lady Zhu. Old Lady Zhu knew what her granddaughter had done and raised an eyebrow at her daughter-in-law, suppressing a smile.

Xixi sat on the haystack, letting out a triumphant laugh at Old Lady Zhu and her mother.

The two turned around at the sound and saw Xixi, whose round little face was filled with pride and triumph.

They simply gestured towards Xixi with their lips, then exchanged a smiling glance.

"Go and tell Steward Wang and Lord Chen not to go out. The situation outside doesn't look good."

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu quickly put down the wooden bucket she was holding and ran out to deliver the message.

The man outside was so hot that he took off his coat and sat on the ground, fanning himself restlessly.

As soon as Liu stepped outside, she was terrified by what she saw. She screamed, covered her face, and turned her back to everyone.

"Manager Wang, Lord Chen, there is water inside. You can come in and fill up if you want."

Wang Haocheng was surprised that Liu would come out from inside. Embarrassed, he hurriedly put his clothes back on and nodded with a smile.

"Madam, I know. I'll send someone over in a bit. It's just too hot. I'm sorry."

Liu knew that Wang Haocheng and the others did not do it on purpose. Not to mention that the men were so hot that they couldn't stand it, even she, who was never afraid of the heat, now wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it to cool off.

"Manager Wang, I understand. My mother said it's best not to go out when the weather is bad."

Wang Haocheng also felt that the sky was a bit strange today. Although it was usually hot, there was never any white dust floating around.

"Understood. Don't worry about Grandma Zhu, we'll all listen to her."

Thinking that he hadn't heard Xixi's voice for a long time, Wang Haocheng felt a pang of nostalgia. After tidying up all his clothes, he walked towards Liu Shi.

"Madam Liu, how is little Xixi doing? Is she eating and drinking well?"

The unprovoked greeting made Liu suspicious and wary. She turned to stare at Wang Haocheng, "Manager Wang, why are you suddenly concerned about my Niu Niu?"

"Madam, please don't misunderstand. I was just worried that Xixi, being the daughter of our benefactor, wouldn't be able to adapt to such hot weather."

With a reasonable explanation, Madam Liu relaxed her guard and replied softly, "Xixi doesn't seem to be bothered by the heat; she's having a great time playing by herself!"

Hearing that Xixi was not in any discomfort, Wang Haocheng nodded in relief, "That's good, I'm relieved."

After a brief chat, Liu turned and went back into the house.

Xi Xi was also staring at Wang Haocheng outside, her brows furrowed slightly.

With this heat, aren't you all feeling the heat?

[Lucky Charm's bracelet contains a potion that can instantly freeze water into ice.]

This potion looks like a stone; if you put the stone into water, it will turn into ice.

Thinking of this, she quickly waved her little hand and flung the potion out of the bracelet.

After the potion fell out of the bracelet, it rolled down to Zhu Xiaobao's feet.

At this moment, Zhu Xiaobao was playing with pebbles on the ground with his shirt off. When he saw a transparent pebble rolling towards him, he happily picked it up.

Xixi looked at the stone in her second brother's hand, waved excitedly at him, and made babbling sounds.

Pei Sining, who was resting against the wall, happened to see Xixi's actions. He slowly got up and snatched the transparent stone from Erbao's hand.

"This thing is quite pretty. Would it look different if it were placed in water?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Erbao immediately became interested, and hurriedly stood up, turned around, and filled a bucket with water from the water vat.

Then, with great effort, he carried the water to Pei Sining and said, "Sining, put the stone in the water and see."

Pei Sining was also curious about what kind of stone could turn water into ice instantly.

Without hesitation, he threw the stone into the bucket and squatted in front of it expectantly.

The stone fell into the water and splashed up, and soon the water in the bucket froze into ice.

Zhu Erbao stared in astonishment at the scene before him and let out a sharp cry, "Mother, Grandma, the water bucket has turned into a monster!"

Old Mrs. Zhu was wiping her body with a wet towel with her daughter-in-law when she heard Zhu Erbao's words. They quickly put down the towel and got up to check.

When they saw the water in the wooden bucket turn into ice, their faces changed, and they looked at each other in surprise.

Only Xixi laughed heartily and gleefully.

[I never expected Pei Sining to be so clever as to put the stone in the water.]

This is the secret weapon that can turn water into ice!

Xi Xi's incessant chatter rang in everyone's ears once again.

The group, who had been startled just a moment ago, breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that it was another masterpiece by Xixi.

Grandma Zhu pretended to be curious and squatted down in front of the wooden bucket to observe the ice.

"Sining, why did the water in the bucket turn into ice?"

"I don't know either. I wanted to see what would happen if I put this stone in water, but I didn't expect the water to turn into ice."

Pei Sining comfortably pressed her head against the wooden tub, feeling an instant cooling sensation, and groggily returned to her senses.

Worried that his grandmother would scold Pei Sining, Zhu Erbao quickly handed the transparent stone on the ground to his grandmother.

"Grandma, I can prove it's true. It was this stone that turned the water in the bucket into ice."

Grandma Zhu took the stone with some doubt, then turned to her daughter-in-law and gestured for her to bring water, her brows furrowed as she observed it.

"If this stone can really turn into ice, then everyone will be saved."

She was still worried that if it continued to be this hot, everyone would probably suffer from heatstroke and collapse, especially if Zhu Yanyan suddenly attacked.

The consequences would be unimaginable, but fortunately, Xixi provided this little thing to relieve the heat.

Liu brought the bucket to Old Lady Zhu and watched curiously as she placed the stone in the water.

A moment later, the water in the bucket gradually froze into ice, and the cool air wafted towards everyone.

After confirming that the stone was indeed useful, Grandma Zhu hurriedly got up, took the stone, and went outside.

"Master Chen, Manager Wang, Chenfeng, Haotian, quickly bring a bucket over, there's ice here."

The two, who were so hot they were practically sticking out their tongues, heard what Grandma Zhu said and quickly got up, carrying buckets of water into the house.

With Grandma Zhu's explanation and help, the group learned how to make ice. They then filled all the tools they could with ice and placed them around the house, along with the escorts and guards.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the originally stuffy room instantly became cool, and there was even a slight chill in the air.

Xixi nestled comfortably in her mother's arms, eating rice porridge. After a satisfying meal, she gradually drifted off to sleep.

The first thing she did upon returning to the space was to check on Zhu Yanyan's condition.

Zhu Yanyan was standing on the volcano, facing the wind and sand. Her whole body was as black as charcoal, except for her eyes, which could still be considered clean.
