Chapter 146 Original Owner's Biological Mother
It was a pitch-black box made of a very special material, because even with the see-through potion, she couldn't see what was inside.
She wanted to use her divine sense to check, but the distance between where she was sleeping and Ning Kang and the others' beds was beyond the range of her divine sense. It seemed she would have to wait until tomorrow to go into their room to take a look.
Nothing unusual was found in Ning Hui's remaining small cubicle.
Ning Xuan didn't sleep all night, keeping her eyes closed and using her consciousness to organize the items in the storage ring.
She has a lot of things now. Not counting the storage ring she usually uses for trading, she has also bound two other storage rings to herself, which contain many shelves for storing things.
To make it easier for her to find things, she put large labels on each shelf, indicating the main category, secondary category, and specific name. For example, she placed talismans and potions, which she used frequently, in the most conspicuous positions.
Other items were also categorized in the same way, with food items further divided into subcategories such as staple foods, cooked foods, snacks, and fruits.
There are still a lot of things that haven't been sorted out yet. Sometimes, after trading items, she just transfers the rest to her own storage ring, waiting to sort them out when she has time.
Supplies must be organized in a timely manner, otherwise it will take a long time to find them when needed. However, Ningxuan sometimes forgets when she is busy, so a lot of supplies will pile up and she won't have time to organize them.
Ning Xuan spent the entire night organizing supplies, but she only managed to organize half of them.
Sure enough, one can't be lazy. Organizing so many supplies is quite a task, and more will keep coming. Ning Xuan reminded herself that she couldn't slack off these next few days and had to work hard to organize everything.
The next morning, after getting up, Wu Yumei actually came to call Ning Xuan, "Xiao Xuan, we all have to go to work, can you get up and help make breakfast?"
Ning Xuan smiled at her, "When I was in the countryside, didn't you all eat breakfast? I wish I could go to work too, but who took my job away..."
Wu Yumei finally realized that Ning Xuan had really changed. If it were before, she would have obediently gotten up to make breakfast and do housework.
Ning Lan, who had expected to see Ning Xuan suffer a setback, quickly pretended to be still asleep when she heard Ning Xuan say that, so as not to remind Ning Xuan that she had bought the job with her family's money.
Ning Xuan had noticed Ning Lan's subtle actions, but she didn't want to waste her breath arguing with her.
She was too lazy to pretend with Wu Yumei. "Wu Yumei, I'm only back for a few days, and you're already so uncomfortable that you have to find something to do?"
Seeing Ning Xuan's bluntness, Wu Yumei was worried about waking Ning Kang, since she was in the wrong, so she quickly tried to appease Ning Xuan.
"Xiaoxuan, why do you think like that? I was just thinking that you don't have anything to do during the day anyway, so..."
"Okay, stop putting on that act, I don't like it!"
Wu Yumei's face stiffened, and she didn't dare to say anything more before going to make breakfast.
Ning Xuan thought to herself, "Wu Yumei doesn't seem to have much fighting power. Why was the original owner so afraid of her before?"
However, she soon realized that the original owner had lived under her stepmother's control when she was very young. At that time, the power imbalance between the two sides was too great. The original owner tried to resist but failed. Later, even if she had the ability to resist, she was completely unaware of it.
Just like a baby elephant that's always chained up, even if the chain is removed when it grows up, it will only move around the pillar and never think of escaping.
Having figured out the key point, she couldn't help but feel sorry for the original owner. She didn't know if the original owner had been reincarnated or if she had transmigrated to some other small world. In any case, she hoped that the original owner would live a happy life in her next life.
Seeing that Wu Yumei's fighting ability was not as high as she had imagined, she lost the will to make trouble again in the morning. Instead, she hoped that these people could leave smoothly as soon as possible. She was still thinking about the box hidden at the foot of Ningkang's bed.
The adults rushed to work, and Ning Hui had to go to school. He was the most dawdling, but Ning Kang and Wu Yumei urged him on, so he couldn't dawdle for long. Soon, only Ning Xuan was left at home.
The bed that Ning Kang and the others were said to be part of the original owner's mother's dowry when she married into the family. It was very sturdy, with four thick bed legs. The black box wasn't actually that big, about the size of a modern eyeglass case, and it was placed vertically inside the bed legs.
Ning Xuan used a wall-penetrating talisman to enter the room. She also tried to use her divine sense to examine the box, but she couldn't see anything inside either.
Now Ning Xuan was certain that the box could block divine sense, so she couldn't see what was inside.
This made Ning Xuan even more confused. Did this thing belong to the original owner's biological mother, or was the box already inside when the original owner's biological mother got the bed, and she didn't even know the box existed?
However, Ning Xuan looked at the smooth bed legs and was also a little troubled. It seemed that she had no way to take out the box without damaging the bed legs.
Got it!
Ning Xuan thought of Katerina's adhesive glue. That stuff was really good; it would definitely stick to this kind of wood without being noticeable.
With a solution in mind, Ning Xuan first put a soundproofing sheet on the room before taking out the chainsaw from her storage ring and starting to saw the bed legs.
She used her divine sense to pinpoint the exact location of the box, then controlled the force and depth of the saw, sawing around the bed leg once, and then gently pried the bed leg off.
With her strength, she could break the bed leg directly without sawing, but using a saw would result in a cleaner cut, making it easier to glue back on later.
Ning Xuan broke off the bed leg, which was still attached by a little bit, took out the black box, quickly glued the bed leg back on, and used a cleaning spell to clean up the wood chips on the floor before starting to study the box.
However, there were no signs of a lock or switch on the box, and she tried to pry it open, but the box wouldn't budge.
As if by some strange twist of fate, Ning Xuan thought of dripping blood. She used her spiritual power to make a small cut on her finger and dripped blood onto the box.
Then something unexpected happened. A ball of light suddenly popped out of the box, flew directly to Ning Xuan's forehead, and then immediately entered her sea of consciousness.
Before she could even check what was going on with the ball of light, the lid of the box suddenly popped open on its own, and another ball of light flew out. But this time it didn't fly towards Ning Xuan; instead, it grew larger in front of Ning Xuan, and then a woman's phantom appeared in mid-air.
Ning Xuan was shocked. This was... the original owner's biological mother!
For some reason, the original owner's childhood memories, which she had forgotten, suddenly became clear again, and she immediately recognized that this was the original owner's biological mother.
Oh my god, my mom is so beautiful!
