"Buzz!" Xing Guan helped Ning Daifang plan the "Ingenious Hands" supernatural ability, which flashed with a silver light, setting off her milky white Xiang embroidered golden phoenix cheongsam. It was so beautiful that it almost activated the golden phoenix.
The family was filled with anticipation, but also with worry.
Is this thief's superpower really a good thing?
Ning Daifen was a little angry: "What are you so smug about? Hurry up and tell me if you've become a big thief or a small thief?"
"What? Who's the thief or the big thief?" Ning Daifang jumped up like she'd been stepped on, only to be met with a glare from Fu Qingyao, and then she calmed down: "Are you all pregnant?"
Stop overreacting. You'll be crying when something happens.
Why are they all such a worry?
"Mother-in-law, we were wrong!" More than a dozen daughters-in-law admitted their mistakes in unison. Fu Qingyao couldn't take it anymore and finally glared at her son. Zheng Ya suffered an undeserved calamity: "Cough cough, it's my fault, it's all my fault!"
"Pfft, giggle," his wives and concubines were amused by his flustered expression.
Fu Qingyao looked around and everyone quickly covered their mouths to stifle their laughter. They couldn't even laugh out loud.
These things can all affect pregnancy, right?
After the family finished laughing and enjoying themselves, Xing Guan said with a smile, "Alright, all the funny things you've done are because of your special ability. Tell me what the effects of your ability are?"
"Hehe, I'll just demonstrate directly, and invite you ladies to judge." Ning Daifang said, waving her hand towards the air in front of her: "Buzz!"
The space trembled, accompanied by a faint flash of silver light. Her jade-like hand and wrist disappeared into the space, as if passing through it, and she had gone somewhere else.
Little did they know that Ning Daifang, following the supernatural ability of the master strategist, could see and hear everything in the attackable space, selectively locking onto targets and grabbing them.
Ten thousand miles away in the fortress, Wu Wei cried out in alarm, clutching her body and roaring, "Ahhh! Who, who stole my pocket?! Damn it! Oh, my little darling, I scared you..."
The sudden fright aggravated her pregnancy. Wu Wei suppressed her murderous rage and calmed herself down, afraid of harming the baby in her womb.
Inside the main hall of the Sihe Fortress, the Zheng family members were stunned, staring strangely at the red pouch in someone's hand.
Ning Daifen's face turned pale with anger: "You brat, look what you've done..."
"Ah, sister, don't do it, this is Wu Wei's..." Ning Daifang stepped behind her mother-in-law and threw the bag away.
Fu Qingyao exploded upon hearing this: "My God, you've got your hands on her from a hundred thousand miles away? No, why did you provoke her in the first place?"
"Ahem, your superpowers aren't limited to this, are they?" Zheng Ya changed the subject when he saw his mother's embarrassed expression.
The whole family knew that the mother-in-law had a special feeling for Wu Wei, so they all stopped pursuing the matter.
Xu Qi directly used the red apron to destroy the evidence.
Ning Daifang cleverly stepped forward to show off: "My 'Empty Hand' technique is quite extraordinary."
Strictly speaking, it's called the Five Directions Divine Hands.
Literally, it means supernatural abilities derived from the spatial power of the five elements generating each other.
One side is ten thousand miles, five sides are the five elements and fifty thousand miles, multiplied by the great realm, the second level is one hundred thousand miles, the place where the five divine hands appear.
And it allows for delicate, precise handwork at close range!
"Five Directions Divine Hand, not bad, a very good superpower. It would be great if it could seize the soul's origin and active will with its divine hand." Xing Guan sighed with delight.
Unexpectedly, Ning Daifang nodded repeatedly: "We can give it a try..."
"What, really?" Xing Guan was overjoyed. If the Five Directions Divine Hand could really capture the active will in the soul's origin, then it could solve a big problem.
Zheng Ya immediately stood up to stop them: "Alright, everyone calm down."
Even if we were to try, there are so many beasts in the West Wing; whoever makes a mistake will be punished and used as a guinea pig.
Today, Banggeng stole something from someone in the yard again. Let's start the experiments with him.
"Sigh, he's still a child, only twelve or thirteen years old. Should we make an exception?" Fu Qingyao felt a little reluctant.
After Qin Huairu was sent to a labor camp, Banggeng was taken to a welfare home by the neighborhood committee for care and education. There, he was bullied and verbally abused by his peers, who beat and scolded him, the son of a criminal.
Initially, the stick-like creature defiantly fought back.
As a result, the welfare home severely criticized them, and they were punished more often with sticks.
This led to Bang Geng's suffering. Half of his food, drink, and clothing were taken from him by others. Long-term hunger and cold led Bang Geng to steal, following in his father's footsteps.
When the orphanage adopted his two younger sisters, it made things even worse for him.
Not long ago, if Zheng Ya hadn't said something to persuade their former neighbors in the courtyard house to leave, rescuing the three Banggeng siblings, they would still be stealing and begging on the streets to make a living.
Upon arriving at the Starry Sky Courtyard, the three siblings harbored hatred towards Jia Zhangshi, cursing her for being lazy and gluttonous, raising a son who stole chickens and dogs and caused deaths, and even implicating her in the crime of summoning spirits and cursing in the streets, causing the three siblings to suffer all kinds of bullying from outsiders. They joined forces to steal all of Jia Zhangshi's food rations, and when the argument escalated, they even beat Jia Zhangshi severely.
People in the courtyard were gossiping that the adults had harmed the children.
Some people say that it is extremely disrespectful for a child to go astray and hit an elderly person.
In short, opinions are mixed, with both positive and negative aspects.
Fu Qingyao felt that the main responsibility for the three siblings becoming like this lay with the adults, and that she was powerless to change the discrimination they faced from society.
Zheng Ya was at a loss for words, feeling exasperated that his mother was protecting petty thieves.
Xing Guan smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, we're all family, so let's not be formal. After spending time together, we've gotten to know each other's personalities quite well."
You've seen it all, have you seen any wicked people or people with bad character?
If so, Mother-in-law, please speak up, and we will uphold justice even at the cost of family ties…”
"Sigh, alright then, try not to hurt those three children, it's up to you," Fu Qingyao said, having heard her say this much, she couldn't stop her.
Although the family kept the beasts in the west courtyard under the pretense of using them for experiments, they had no intention of harming anyone.
The original intention was to use them to monitor the movements of evil spirits.
The next step is to help them get out of trouble.
This requires experimentation; there's no way to stop it.
Faced with matters of principle, Fu Qingyao could distinguish right from wrong. She walked to the side and sat down to watch the show. Her daughter-in-law served her tea and water, massaged her back and shoulders, and was extremely filial. She compromised and surrendered, no longer caring about anyone else.
Zheng Ya secretly gave Xing Guan a thumbs up, and Xing Guan smiled knowingly: "Alright, let's do the experiment with the stick-grabbing thorn."
An order was passed down.
The puppet guards stationed at the cooperative's security bureau were mobilized.
"Bang bang bang!" The people in the courtyard saw them and ran into their homes to hide, as if they had seen a plague god. They were terrified.
But they all crowded behind the window and looked out through the glass.
"Bang Geng, you have repeatedly stolen property from your neighbors and have never reformed. Arrest him and accept your punishment. Come out!" The puppet walked into the west wing and the middle courtyard, shouting that it was going to arrest him.
Startled, Banggeng hid under the bed. Qin Huairu cried and blocked the door, pleading, "No, don't catch our Banggeng! Banggeng only stole because he was starving..."
"Get out of the way! Obstructing official business, or you'll be arrested too!" the puppet warned sternly.
