About half a month later, Qin, Qi, Shu, and Hua's faces were all smooth again.
Although they were swollen and red at first, they would recover to their normal state within another ten days to half a month.
The four women knelt on the ground, continuously kowtowing to Bai Sheng, all saying that their lives belonged to Bai Sheng and they would do anything for her.
Bai Sheng helped them up, encouraging them to be diligent and live well through their own efforts. She told them to focus on their current tasks, as she would be opening many more branches in the future, all of which would require management. Since the four of them were literate, they would be heavily relied upon.
Hearing Bai Sheng's words, Qin, Qi, Shu, and Hua were filled with emotion. They had truly been reborn, no longer reliant on any man, but able to support themselves and their children through clean labor, with a brighter future ahead.
From then on, they no longer had to live their lives wearing masks, and their chronic illnesses were completely healed. Their lives had truly begun.
Their families, upon seeing the healed faces of Qin, Qi, Shu, and Hua, praised them for their beauty.
Now, when Qin, Qi, Shu, and Hua heard compliments on their appearance, they no longer felt the thrill of vanity being satisfied. They simply responded with friendly smiles.
They no longer depended on their beauty to find love or make a living, so while beauty was pleasant, it no longer stirred their hearts. Instead, a word of acknowledgment from Bai Sheng for their work brought them immense joy and satisfaction.
After healing the faces of Qin, Qi, Shu, and Hua, Bai Sheng allowed herself a few days of rest.
When she was once again energetically skipping around the mansion, her third uncle called out to her.
"Sheng'er... ah, do you remember when we... just reunited, you said... you would take me to see the bodies of my elder sister and brother-in-law?" Third Uncle asked, panting as he used a stone to exercise his biceps, triceps, and deltoids.
Bai Sheng smacked her forehead. "Oh no, Third Uncle, I forgot! Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away! As soon as possible! Just wait!"
After speaking, Bai Sheng ran to find Lu Ye.
She pulled Lu Ye into the room, closing the doors and windows.
"Husband, there's something we need to discuss," Bai Sheng said, wrapping her arms around Lu Ye's waist.
"What is it? Tell me, my dear," Lu Ye replied, kissing her forehead.
"Do you remember when we first reunited with Third Uncle and the others, we promised Third Uncle that we would let him see the bodies of our parents?"
Lu Ye blinked, "You mention it, and I truly forgot."
Bai Sheng said, "Third Uncle was just asking me about it. My initial thought was to buy a crystal coffin and place it in the alchemy room in the back courtyard, and then put our parents in it.
However, I'm a bit worried. Our parents' bodies are gradually recovering in the space, looking as if they just passed away. If we move them out of the space rashly, will there be any negative changes?"
Lu Ye frowned and pondered for a moment. "Indeed. After all, our exploration of the space is far from sufficient. We don't know why our parents' bodies are continuously recovering. If we were to remove them from the space, the potential variables would be uncontrollable. How about we bring Third Uncle into the space to see? Third Uncle is someone we can absolutely trust."
Bai Sheng nodded. "I was thinking the same thing. Not only Third Uncle, but also Fourth Uncle. I'm wondering, if Fourth Uncle were to spend more time in the space, and soak in the spiritual spring water daily, perhaps he would recover faster?"
Lu Ye smiled. "Then let's do as my good girl says."
Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle were led into the room by Lu Ye and Bai Sheng and seated on two chairs.
Lu Ye turned and closed the doors and windows.
"You two, do you have a secret to tell?" Third Uncle leaned back against the wooden chair, his face alight with the anticipation of hearing a secret.
Bai Sheng and Lu Ye exchanged glances, then whispered, "Third Uncle, we do have a secret to tell you. You must promise not to shout or make a scene after hearing it, and you must keep it confidential."
Lu Ye emphasized seriously, "This secret concerns my wife's safety. Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle, you absolutely must keep it secret."
"Shush, keep it secret, don't tell anyone," Fourth Uncle put his finger to his lips, pouting.
Bai Sheng, with a look of affection, stroked Third Uncle's head and gently coaxed, "Be good, Fourth Uncle. What I and Xiao Ye are about to tell you today must never be told to outsiders. Do you remember that, Fourth Uncle?"
"Remember, remember, secret, mustn't say, mustn't say," Fourth Uncle nodded his head like a pecking chicken.
"You're such a good boy, Fourth Uncle!" Bai Sheng patted his head again as a reward.
Third Uncle urged, "Less nonsense. My mouth, your Third Uncle's mouth, cannot be pried open by others! What secret is it? Don't keep us in suspense, just tell us quickly."
Bai Sheng opened her left palm to show Third Uncle.
"Sheng'er, why do you have a small red flower tattooed on your palm?" Third Uncle looked at the alluring red flower, finding it incredibly strange, as no one would get a tattoo on their palm.
"Third Uncle, this isn't a tattoo, it's a space," Bai Sheng said with utmost seriousness.
Third Uncle, however, heard it as nonsense. He frowned. "Space? Wh... what is it?"
Bai Sheng glanced at Lu Ye, took a deep breath, and then explained to Third Uncle in detail what a space was, how she obtained it, what it looked like inside, and how to enter and exit it.
Third Uncle was dumbfounded after listening, completely bewildered.
Lu Ye couldn't help but laugh. "Good girl, take Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle into the space to see."
"Mm, alright," Bai Sheng nodded slightly. With a thought, the four of them instantly appeared in another place.
This place was certainly not the room they had just been in, nor was there any place like this in the entire capital!
In the blink of an eye, they had flashed here! What kind of magical art was this?!!
Third Uncle's eyes widened even further. He looked at the scene before him in disbelief, seriously doubting if he was still alive, or if he had arrived in some underworld or fairyland.
Fourth Uncle, on the other hand, immediately accepted everything before him. Standing before him, looking at him quietly, were a large black pig, a patchy pig, a pangolin, a small white rabbit, a small black snake, a large black wolf, and a tall camel diligently grazing in the distance.
He had often seen heavy rain and lightning, but this was his first time seeing these wild creatures, so he was overjoyed, jumping, skipping, and shouting.
Bai Sheng said to Hengheng, "Fourth Uncle will live in the space from now on. You are responsible for taking good care of him."
Hengheng lifted a pig's hoof and patted its chest. "Don't worry, Master. Fourth Uncle is entrusted to this pig. I guarantee I'll take him around the space and have a great time."
Upon seeing this, Third Uncle collapsed to the ground. "Sheng'er, you... you are talking to this fat pig?" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Bai Sheng smiled and nodded.
Hengheng: requesting the psychological shadow area for this pig.
Lu Ye immediately helped Third Uncle up, supporting him with his shoulder. "Third Uncle, this pig is called Hengheng. He is the manager of the space. He and Bai Sheng can communicate with each other. Hengheng is also a radar that can scan two hundred meters, uh, what we call a scout that can detect enemy information."
Third Uncle's two prosthetic legs trembled.
His worldview had collapsed. Heavens! What kind of world was this!
Bai Sheng and Lu Ye exchanged glances, unable to suppress their smiles.
