The little girl stood still and cheered excitedly.
“This is it, Daddy,” the little girl shouted at Zhou Shu. “I was born here. My treasures are all hidden here!”
She pointed at her feet. Before Zhou Shu could speak, she stomped heavily on the ground.
Boom!
Zhou Shu felt a violent tremor under his feet, and a huge crack appeared on the ground.
He raised his eyebrows. This little girl’s strength…
He felt that she wasn’t much weaker than him.
But his attention was quickly drawn to something else.
Multicolored light scattered out from the crack. There were actually countless treasures buried under the ground!
The little girl cheered and flew into the crack.
Zhou Shu reached out his hand, but he didn’t stop her.
A moment later, the little girl flew up unsteadily. She was dragging a giant three-legged cauldron with her two small hands.
The three-legged cauldron was more than ten times larger than her body, and she looked ridiculous dragging it.
Zhou Shu’s gaze landed on the three-legged cauldron, and disappointment flashed across his eyes.
This three-legged cauldron was not the Heaven and Earth Furnace he had imagined. It might also be a divine weapon, but it was obvious that it was far inferior to the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
It was just an ordinary forging furnace.
Perhaps the little girl couldn’t tell the difference between this thing and the Heaven and Earth Furnace. She had only remembered that she had buried a similar cauldron here because she had seen Zhou Shu collecting fragments.
“Daddy, look!” The little girl rushed in front of Zhou Shu, turned around, and threw the giant cauldron in front of him. “You don’t have to be unhappy. I’ll give it to you!”
Zhou Shu was speechless. But he couldn’t refuse her good intentions.
He casually put away the giant cauldron and asked casually, “Everything buried down here is yours?”
“Yes,” the little girl said proudly. “I have many toys. I worked hard to save them.”
You saved them? Zhou Shu cursed in his heart. How can a little thing like you save these things?
This is the Yuheng Valley of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain. Could you be the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain?
“Can you give these things to me?” Zhou Shu asked tentatively.
The little girl was stunned, and a conflicted expression appeared on her face.
She frowned and thought for a long time before saying awkwardly, “Daddy, can you leave three for me?”
She held up a small hand, revealing five fingers.
“Just three, okay?” She wagged her little hand, her five fingers dangling.
“Alright.” Zhou Shu agreed. “Take your pick first. I’ll take the rest with me.”
He was very generous. She was just a little girl who didn’t know how to count. He had to be polite to her.
The next moment, he regretted it!
He knew that the little girl didn’t know how to count, so why did he agree to her request?
The little girl flew into the crack with a cheer. Treasures glowing with splendor flew into her small hand. Then without her moving, the treasures disappeared.
One, two, three…
Although the little girl was small, she was extremely fast. When Zhou Shu wanted to stop her, dozens of treasures had already disappeared from her hand.
“Stop!” Zhou Shu shouted. “Didn’t we agree on three items?”
“It’s three. We’re still short of two.” The little girl raised her hand in all seriousness, then curled two fingers and raised three fingers in front of Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. “You’re wrong! Do you see that? These are only three pieces!”
He reached out, picked up a stone from the ground, and waved it at the little girl.
“Isn’t this one?” the little girl said with a puzzled expression.
Zhou Shu felt a tightness in his chest. Didn’t you not know how to count? Why do you know now?
“Cut the crap. Stay aside!” Zhou Shu said angrily. “You’re just a child. Why do you need so many things?
“Also, let me ask you. Are you at the Grotto-Heaven realm?”
Zhou Shu noticed that the little girl had put the items away into thin air. But when she came out of the Heaven and Earth Furnace, she was naked. She didn’t have anything on her body, so it was impossible for her to carry a storage tool.
This could only mean that she was already at the Grotto-Heaven realm and her body had a grotto-heaven, so she could naturally store items in her body.
Thinking of this possibility, Zhou Shu became even more vigilant.
A seemingly ignorant child’s true identity is a Grotto-Heaven expert?
Who is this little girl?
The little girl blinked her big eyes and said innocently, “Daddy, what is the Grotto-Heaven realm? Can it be eaten?”
Looking at the little girl, Zhou Shu was somewhat speechless. If she was at the Grotto-Heaven realm, how would all the martial artists in the world feel?
How many martial artists couldn’t reach the Grotto-Heaven realm even after working hard their entire lives? In the end, a child who didn’t even know what the Grotto-Heaven realm was actually able to cultivate to it?
Zhou Shu didn’t know how to explain to her what the Grotto-Heaven realm was. He thought for a moment and asked, “Where did you put those items just now?”
“Oh, I put them in my stomach.” The little girl patted her stomach so as to prove it to Zhou Shu.
She let out a cry, and her body lit up. He could vaguely see a small space appear in her dantian. This space was about the size of a garden, but it was an out-and-out grotto-heaven!
She was indeed at the Grotto-Heaven realm!
Although her grotto-heaven was still very small, it was already formed, not the embryonic form of a grotto-heaven like Tushan’s!
In other words, this little girl’s cultivation level was even higher than Tushan’s!
A Grotto-Heaven almighty kept calling him daddy?
For some reason, Zhou Shu felt inexplicably refreshed!
He looked at the little girl, and surprise flashed across his eyes.
No matter where this little girl came from, since she treated him as her father, he couldn’t let a child roam alone outside.
How can I leave this poor thing alone? I’m a good person.
I’ll reluctantly take care of her.
Zhou Shu decided.
“Wait for me here. Don’t run around, understand?”
“Got it,” the little girl said crisply. The next moment, she said aggrievedly, “Daddy, I’m hungry.”
Zhou Shu changed his previous attitude and said very kindly, “Make do with these first. When we get home, I’ll cook something delicious for you.”
He casually took out some food from a Cosmic Bangle and placed it in front of the little girl. He had plundered these from Hu Li’s territory. The Ten Nations Alliance didn’t only lack forging materials, but food was also a scarcity, so he didn’t forget to store some food in his Cosmic Bangles.
The little girl’s eyes lit up as she nodded vigorously.
Zhou Shu glanced at the little girl pouncing on the food before leaping into the crack.
The crack opened by the little girl was hundreds of feet deep. Inside the crack, various treasures were scattered messily. He could see dozens of extremely rare heaven and earth treasures with a single glance.
These treasures were basically processed forging materials. There was not a single weapon that had taken shape. Perhaps the cauldron the little girl had dragged up just now was the only thing that had taken shape here.
But this was even better. Zhou Shu liked forging materials even more!
Zhou Shu laughed and took out an empty Cosmic Bangle. He began to collect the forging materials frantically.
Soon, a Cosmic Bangle was filled. The Cosmic Bangles Zhou Shu had forged only had a space of five feet square, so it couldn’t contain much.
Previously, in Hu Li’s territory, it was precisely because the space in the Cosmic Bangles was too small that he couldn’t take many things away, so he had left Yin Chengshan behind.
If only I was also at the Grotto-Heaven realm. I could put the things into my grotto-heaven and leave as I pleased.
That’s not right. The little girl calls me daddy. She’s a walking grotto-heaven. What’s the difference between putting things in her grotto-heaven and me putting them in mine? How can she not give them to me when I need them? I’m her father!
