He then stopped paying attention to it until a month later when he entered the space and discovered that not only had the sweet potatoes grown, but they had also grown into large sweet potatoes that would normally take three or four months to grow outside, all in just one month.
However, he didn't tell anyone about this until in Big Tree Village, when Xingxing wanted to buy food for disaster relief. He couldn't bear to see her in a difficult situation, so he took out the sweet potatoes he had grown in his space.
He didn't want to continue growing sweet potatoes, and there wasn't any particular reason. The reason was simply that he didn't want to farm and was impatient with doing these things. Now he somewhat regretted his initial curiosity in trying to grow sweet potatoes.
"Brother Phosphorus, why aren't you saying anything? Don't you want to help?" Xingxing waited for a long time but didn't get a reply from the boy. She saw him with his eyes downcast and looking very annoyed.
Zhu Lin couldn't lie to her, so he nodded honestly, "Yes, I don't want to grow sweet potatoes, it's too much trouble."
"So you just don't want to farm the land yourself, not that you don't want to grow sweet potatoes in the space, right?" Xingxing cleverly grasped the key point.
"I guess so." Zhu Lin's voice was a little muffled. This matter was very difficult. He didn't want to disappoint Xingxing, and if Xingxing asked for it, he definitely couldn't refuse her.
Xingxing tilted her head and thought for a moment, then took the boy's hand and walked into the house. "Brother Lin, let's go inside and talk."
Once inside, Xingxing peeked her little head out the doorway, and only after confirming that no one was paying attention to them did she lock the door.
The guards hiding in the trees in the distance saw the princess and her dog's furtive movements and a hint of curiosity flashed in their eyes, but they didn't come forward to investigate.
The princess said that she needs private space and does not allow her guards to eavesdrop on her or sneak into her room, as this is very impolite and insubordinate.
At this moment, Xingxing held the boy's hand and whispered, "Brother Lin, can you bring people into your space? If you don't want to farm, you can bring me in, and I'll farm, okay?"
Zhu Lin hesitated for a moment, reluctant to take her in. He had absolute control over his space, so he could bring whatever he wanted in. However, since Xingxing wanted to go in to farm, he didn't really want to take her in.
If she wanted to go in and pick spirit fruits or gather herbs, he would definitely take her in without hesitation.
"Is it difficult for you? Then forget it. I don't want to make things difficult for you either. Just pretend I didn't say anything." Xingxing turned to leave with her hands behind her back, her soft, delicate face showing a hint of disappointment.
The boy grasped her arm and whispered, "It's not that it's impossible, but farming is hard work, and I don't want you to be so tired."
So that's why he was worried about her being tired. Xingxing felt a sweet warmth in her heart and was very touched. She held the boy's hand tightly and looked into his peach blossom eyes. "Brother Lin, I am very capable. I am not afraid of hardship or fatigue. Planting sweet potatoes is just a matter of time. It won't tire me out. But if there is no food and we cannot help the people, I will feel sad. So, would you like me to go in and plant sweet potatoes?"
"Since you've said so, how can I disagree?" Zhu Lin had no choice but to take her hand and, with a thought, led her into the mustard seed space.
Xingxing felt a blur before her eyes, and when she came to her senses, she found herself in an unfamiliar space. Looking at the not-so-wide expanse of sky and earth around her, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.
"Is there only a small patch of sky here? There are so many beautiful flowers and herbs growing here, but why does it seem like it's covered by something all around?" Xingxing curiously walked around the space.
This plot of land is really not very big, at most no more than two acres, and it is already full of flowers, grass and fruit trees. If you want to plant sweet potatoes, you can only plant them in the corners and edges, and the total area that can be planted is less than five-tenths of an acre.
However, considering that a season of sweet potatoes can be grown in the space in a month, and the yield of sweet potatoes is high, it is still quite considerable.
“This small world is covered by a barrier, and you can’t get out. It’s only this big of a space. The spiritual fruits that these fruit trees bear are all your favorites, and there are also your things in the house.” Zhu Lin hesitated slightly as she spoke.
"I didn't even see the house until you told me. What's the house used for?" Xingxing's doe-like eyes were full of curiosity.
The house is a bamboo hut surrounded by a small bamboo grove. The entire house is shrouded in mist, exuding a strong sense of mystery.
"You'll know once you go in and take a look." The boy's voice became somewhat ethereal.
With permission, Xingxing walked into the house, and the boy followed slowly behind. The door of the bamboo house was not closed. Inside, there was a reception hall with a door on the left.
The boy led Xingxing through the door. Inside the room were various boxes, which the boy opened one by one for Xingxing to see. Each box contained various treasures that Xingxing had never seen before.
"What are these?" Xingxing picked up something that looked a bit like an umbrella to examine it.
"Magic artifacts, some with defensive functions, and some with offensive functions—these are all your things, things from before," the boy said in a low voice.
"I know, it's me from a long, long time ago, before I was reincarnated. I know that when people die, they are reincarnated, but when they cross the Bridge of Helplessness, they drink the Meng Po soup and forget everything about their past life. That's what it says in the sketchbook. It's such a pity, I don't remember anything." Xingxing put the magic artifact in her hand back into the box and stopped looking.
“These boxes are full of your clothes. The ones you were wearing before were taken from here,” the boy said.
Xingxing's eyes lit up, and she ran over to open the lid, eager to see the clothes inside. The colors and styles were very special, unlike anything in the Great Jin Dynasty, and they were all clothes she liked.
"I really love these clothes. Can I take a few more to wear outside?"
"These clothes are all yours; you can take them all," the boy replied with a smile.
"You don't need to take everything, just a few items will do." Xingxing covered her face shyly.
The other boxes contained treasures such as spirit stones and luminous pearls, as well as a lot of gold and silver. The gold and silver were added by Zhu Lin later and were not brought from the cultivation world.
In the cultivation world, gold and silver are useless; cultivators only use spirit stones. However, in this life, they can use gold and silver treasures.
After looking at this room, the boy took Xingxing to the last room, which contained only a large ice coffin, and inside the ice coffin seemed to be a jade bed.
Lying on the jade bed was a three-meter-long white dragon as thick as a pillar. It had two blue horns on its head, but its eyes were closed, as if it were sleeping very soundly.
Lying next to the white dragon was a snow unicorn twice the size of the white dragon. The snow unicorn also had two blue horns on its head and was fast asleep with its eyes closed, just like the white dragon.
"They're so beautiful! I recognize this one as a white dragon, but what's that? I don't think I recognize it." Xingxing opened her round eyes wide. For some reason, looking at the beautiful white dragon and the four-legged beast, she felt inexplicably sad and had a feeling of wanting to burst into tears.
"The one next to the White Dragon is the Snow Qilin. The White Dragon is your past life, and the Snow Qilin is mine. I don't know why, after the collapse of the cultivation world, our past lives were placed in this ice coffin. This ice coffin and the jade bed have always been kept in the bamboo house. I still don't understand the situation," Zhu Lin said helplessly.
