The cabin door hadn't been opened in so long that it took Nan Xian quite a bit of effort to push it open.

The house was very clean and remained exactly as it was when the owner left.

Sunlight streamed in, falling directly on a uniquely made "mirror" on the wall of the wooden house.

It seems to be made of water, with its curved surface constantly rippling, reflecting sunlight into every corner of the room, yet the faces illuminated remain unaffected, clear and natural.

The room suddenly became bright. Nan Xian looked around. The furnishings were very simple. It was a one-bedroom apartment with a living room in the middle, separated by something made of a similar material to the water mirror, except that it was opaque and looked somewhat like a modern frosted glass screen.

There are two sets of tables and chairs in the living room. One set is the size of a normal human, while the other set looks even smaller than a children's table and chairs. The table legs and chair legs are extremely low. Nan Xian tried to sit on the chair, and she even had to curl up her legs and squat on the ground to barely sit on the chair.

Why get two sets of tables and chairs? She was a little puzzled.

Clearly, no one could answer her question.

She then went into the bedroom.

There was a bed in the bedroom, with a simple design, somewhat like a traditional earthen bed in a farmhouse in Northeast China.

The bed had a complete set of pillows and blankets, and surprisingly, they looked no different from a modern three-piece bedding set.

Nan Xian was astonished. She stepped forward and touched the quilt, and was immediately awestruck—

The soft, fluffy texture feels just like squeezing a cloud!

Wait, could it really be a cloud?

Since there are water-based mirrors in this house, it shouldn't be surprising to make pillows and blankets out of clouds, right?

Thinking this, she began to search for an opening, but before she could find one, she was suddenly interrupted by a loud "thump".

Nan Xian was startled and looked in the direction of the sound. It turned out that a wooden box had fallen from the cabinet next to the bed.

Wait a minute, I clearly didn't touch the cabinet, so how did the wooden box fall down?

Something unusual must be going on!

She instantly became alert, grabbed a pillow to shield herself, looked around in all directions, and then circled around to approach the box on the ground.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, and nothing happened.

She calmed herself down, gritted her teeth, and bent down to pick up the wooden box.

She froze on the spot as soon as she got it in her hands—

It's a small box, about the size of a palm. The surface is carved with a phoenix and a dragon, seemingly chasing something. The body is carved with some strangely shaped beasts: Bai Ze, Pixiu, Qilin, Dijiang...

Isn't this the box containing the peony jade that the silly woman gave him back in the Immortal Village?

However, compared to the silly woman's one, the one in my hand is obviously much newer, without even a single scratch.

Nan Xian's heart clenched instantly. Her back tensed, she swallowed hard, and carefully shook the box in her hand.

It was heavy; there was clearly something inside.

Could it be that I entered this dream to obtain the peony jade within?

She took a deep breath and slowly opened it.

"......Why?"

Inside the box was not the peony jade she had expected, but rather—

An egg.

Specifically, it is a bright red egg, about half the size of a palm, shaped like a chicken egg, with one end slightly pointed and the other end rounder. The pointed end has a golden hue, like the color of dusk.

Nan Xian was stunned, and for a moment she was at a loss.

How did it... turn into an egg?

Where is my peony jade?

Where did my huge piece of peony jade go?
