"Of course not! I already told you it's a treasure, and you still want to cut it in half? What were you thinking?" Jian Ning gave him a speechless look.

He continued, "If you drip a drop of blood on it, it can grow larger or smaller according to your will, and if the silkworm thread breaks, you will also feel it in your heart."

"That's impressive. Where's the knife? Is there one in the kitchen? I need to get some blood out."

As she was saying this, she was about to go to the kitchen. Jian Ning pulled her back, and with a flash of sword light, Ruoshui cut a small gash on Jian Anping's index finger.

He quickly pressed his finger onto the silk, not wanting to waste it.

The silkworm silk that came into direct contact with Jian Anping's blood emitted a dazzling white light, but it returned to normal in just one or two seconds.

Moreover, it looked dull and grayish, just like ordinary silk thread. It didn't look like a treasure at all. And according to Jian Anping's wishes, it was shortened a lot and became slightly thicker.

I used it to thread the storage bag onto my belt, and it actually worked quite well.

Jian Anping was so happy he couldn't stop smiling. He couldn't wait to go back and show it off to Li Mengyao. Actually, he was quite envious when Jian Ning gave him the tortoise shell that day.

I never expected to get such a great item myself this time. The only downside is that I can't show it off to my buddies, which is a bit frustrating.

"Just put any good things in there from now on, but remember not to put any living things in there. They can't survive without oxygen," Jian Ning added.

"Okay, I'll get all those stones for you tomorrow. Actually, I've reconnected with some of my old buddies, and we're going out to find supplies together."

Girl, you know things aren't peaceful outside right now. If it weren't for your brother's recent cultivation and increased strength, which gives him some say, getting any supplies would be really difficult.

I'll take all these stones for myself; I can't let my brothers suffer losses, so I plan to give each of them five catties of flour. That should be about right.

"Okay, pack it in advance and take it in a bag. Don't let anyone know you have this storage device. When you go to collect the stones, don't let anyone see it either. Be careful, and keep your mouth shut."

"I know that. I'm off. I'll show off to your sister-in-law when I get back." Jian Anping opened the door and went out with a big smile.

When Xiao Lingfeng returned, he went straight to find Jian Ning.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Jian Ning asked with a smile, seeing his serious expression.

"You could say that today Dr. Fu found an unidentified white worm on the two deceased people, and it's quite dangerous."

It actually grew tiny teeth, and its bite force was exceptionally strong.

Under a microscope, you can see that it has more teeth than a snail. And it specifically eats human brains.

It's very likely a mutation of that tapeworm. That's terrifying. We have to be extremely careful about what we put in our mouths, not just food, but also when we come into contact with people outside our homes, to avoid getting infected.

"Okay, I understand. I don't usually go out. Be careful outside, I guess even insects are afraid of fire."

"And according to what you said, it's impossible that it's just this one type of insect that mutated; there are probably many other changes that we don't know about." Jian Ning said this to remind Xiao Lingfeng.

"Yes, I know. You should also tell Uncle Li and the others, especially your brother. He's always out and about, so he needs to be careful."

"Okay, haven't you eaten yet? How about we have a seafood feast together?"

As Jian Ning spoke, without waiting for his refusal, she pulled out a large bucket of crabs, scallops, oysters, and prawns from her spatial storage. They were all lively and jumping around.

“Okay, I’ll cook something and you can try it.” Xiao Lingfeng didn’t refuse, knowing that Jian Ning couldn’t cook. He simply carried the large bucket to the kitchen.

Jian Ning followed behind him with a smile. She used a water balloon to clean all the seafood, scrubbed the pot clean, added water, and then steamed it on the gas stove.

The movements were performed so smoothly and effortlessly, as if they had been done a thousand times.

"Your water polo skills are pretty good, almost perfect," Jian Ning praised him from the side.

"I don't know how many times I'll practice this every day. You get better and better with practice, right? Do you have ginger and aged vinegar? Let's make a dipping sauce."

Jian Ning took a large piece of ginger from her spatial storage and gave it to him, while she opened a bottle of aged vinegar. She poured a small half bowl of it and watched as Xiao Lingfeng skillfully chopped the ginger into fine pieces and put it into a small bowl.

Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly turned around and looked at the doorway.

Huang Fugui dashed in all the way; this guy could actually walk through walls!

"Master, I'm back! I'm so happy today. But I'm hungry! I want fried chicken and roast duck!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xiao Lingfeng busy in the kitchen and jumped up on the spot.

Their eyes met, and she pointed at him with a trembling paw: "You, you, what are you doing here?"

"Why can't I be here?" Xiao Lingfeng looked at it with a bit of a puzzlement.

"Don't you have your own home? Are you trying to steal my master's food by not going back?" Huang Fugui looked at him with displeasure.

"Don't talk nonsense, Fugui, why did you come back on your own?" Jian Ning quickly asked.

"Of course I'm hungry!" Huang Fugui said, jumping directly onto the kitchen stove.

"Do you shed?" Xiao Lingfeng was actually a bit of a germaphobe. He was still a little uncomfortable having a pet in the kitchen.

"You're the one shedding fur!" Huang Fugui retorted angrily, his fur standing on end.

"Huang Fugui, come here, I'll give you roast duck and a big chicken leg." Jian Ning quickly took it off the table and took the food out of her spatial storage.

It finally calmed down; otherwise, it would have definitely made a scene with Xiao Lingfeng.

"Your pet has quite a temper."

Xiao Lingfeng smiled. He had been so busy these past few days that he hadn't paid much attention to his pet, Jian Ning. It seemed that Jian Ning not only could talk, but also had quite a personality.

"That's just how it is, it's like a donkey that's always being followed. Don't be like it." Jian Ning patted Huang Fugui's back twice, and it turned around and glared at Xiao Lingfeng arrogantly.

"It's really intelligent. Is it easy to catch?" Xiao Lingfeng also wanted to have one similar. Huang Fugui was a bit too small. It would be better if there was one that was a bit bigger.

"There definitely aren't any here. If you like animals, you could get a dog or something. But someone like Huang Fugui who has developed intelligence is probably hard to find."

Jian Ning put it rather tactfully, not wanting to disappoint Xiao Lingfeng.

"That's not necessarily true. Insects are starting to mutate. Maybe I'll actually find an animal that can talk someday. Didn't you say it's like a weasel that's become a spirit?"

There are quite a few rabbit and fox spirits in the legends; maybe I'll be lucky enough to meet one!
