Although these words were spoken, if Shen Xiaoyan hadn't trusted them, even if they guessed wildly, Shen Xiaoyan could have denied it to her death, and no one would have been able to do anything about it.
Since Shen Xiaoyan could speak now, it meant she believed her.
She hadn't forgotten that Shen Xiaoyan had already called her "Mother" before.
She had waited for this "Mother" for so many years, and finally, she had waited.
Lin Xin and Mi Le Buddha were stunned by Shen Xiaoyan's words. When they finally came to their senses, Mi Le Buddha's first question was, "So, Ruannuan and the other two said they were in a safe place, which was actually in your space?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiaoyan nodded.
Seeing her admit it, even Zhen Lingrong felt a bit speechless.
It was clearly not a good time to discuss these matters. Since things had been brought out into the open, there was no need to dwell on them. The most important thing now was to get out of here as soon as possible.
Shen Xiaoyan explained their discussion results to Ruannuan and the other two. Although they were a little unhappy, they also knew that Shen Xiaoyan was doing it for their own good and wouldn't act unreasonably to do things that would cause worry.
Therefore, the three of them re-entered the space.
Lu Taobao, Yizhixie, and Namu Zhong, who had not yet entered, saw Shen Xiaoyan directly bring Ruannuan and the other two into the space. In an instant, they guessed what was going on.
However, the three of them didn't say much, as it was indeed not a good time to talk.
Shen Xiaoyan turned to look around, and finally looked at Yizhixie and the other two, saying with a smile, "To save time, you might as well stay in the space."
After speaking, Shen Xiaoyan didn't care about their reactions and directly threw them into the space.
Seeing this, Mi Le Buddha and Lin Xin were both dumbfounded.
Shen Xiaoyan looked at them and suddenly said, "Alternatively, you two could stay in the space too?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xin and Mi Le Buddha nodded vigorously.
It wasn't that they feared pain, but they were very curious about Shen Xiaoyan's space. Being able to enter and take a look now was simply a great thing.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoyan didn't waste any more words and directly brought the two of them into the space. Then she looked at Le Lingrong, who waved her hand and said, "No rush."
Although it were only two simple words, Shen Xiaoyan understood her meaning instantly.
Le Lingrong meant that although she also wanted to enter the space to take a look, she was not in a hurry.
Hearing her say this, Shen Xiaoyan no longer insisted and turned to look at the invisible screen.
The white fox and Shen Xiaoming had long since disappeared, and Luoluo and Shameng were squatting there watching them.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoyan said to Yizhixie and Namu Zhong, "You two go first."
The two of them didn't waste any words. After all, they would have to go through this painful experience sooner or later, so what difference did it make whether it was sooner or later?
After they walked into the invisible screen, only Shen Xiaoyan and Zhen Lingrong were left.
Zhen Lingrong looked at Shen Xiaoyan's profile for a long time. Shen Xiaoyan turned her head and looked at Zhen Lingrong strangely, saying, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Xiaoyan admits me as her mother."
It was not a question, but a definitive tone. Shen Xiaoyan's face turned red upon hearing this.
She had been feeling heavy-hearted all the way and hadn't had time to think about these things. But now that a way out had been found, Zhen Lingrong naturally had the thought to ask about this matter.
Looking at Zhen Lingrong's smiling face, Shen Xiaoyan's retort finally died on her lips.
Forget it, she had already admitted it, so what was there to refute?
If she didn't admit it, wouldn't that be the same as slapping herself in the face?
Thinking this, Shen Xiaoyan directly nodded and said, "You've been so good to me and Xiaoming. If I still don't admit it, wouldn't that be ungrateful?"
Upon hearing Shen Xiaoyan, Zhen Lingrong also smiled.
She knew that this child was not heartless.
The two looked at each other and smiled, their understanding conveyed without words.
However, Shen Xiaoyan's heart thought of another matter: why had Zhen Lingrong forgotten all about the past?
Seeing that Zhen Lingrong didn't seem to want to delve into it, Shen Xiaoyan thought about it but still didn't ask.
It would be better for Zhen Lingrong to decide on this matter herself.
When Zhen Lingrong herself wanted to know, she would find a way to recall the past.
Before long, Yizhixie and Namu Zhong had disappeared, and Luoluo and Shameng walked back leisurely again.
"Let's go, it's just the two of you left," Luoluo said.
Shen Xiaoyan and the other nodded and also headed towards the invisible barrier.
What was seen and heard was indeed not as clear as experiencing it directly. Now, stepping into it, Shen Xiaoyan truly understood what kind of pain this was.
It was as if thousands of small knives were simultaneously piercing her flesh, and then churning and rolling inside.
She felt her skin, flesh, and bones being ground into pieces, bit by bit.
At this moment, Luoluo's body had completely disappeared, and Shen Xiaoyan felt as if she had been pressed to a pause.
However, at this very moment, the pain that had made her wish she were dead actually disappeared.
It was as if she had taken some miraculous healing medicine, and in an instant, she had recovered.
Unfortunately, before she could even sigh with relief, Luoluo reappeared.
Shen Xiaoyan continued to move forward with Luoluo, and the pain instantly struck.
At this moment, Shen Xiaoyan finally understood what Zheng Wei's words meant.
Pain was not terrifying; what was terrifying was the endless repetition of this pain.
She didn't know how much time had passed. It felt like a lifetime, or perhaps time had stopped, like an instant.
But no matter which situation it was, it couldn't alleviate Shen Xiaoyan's current pain.
Fortunately, after Luoluo went back and forth twice more, she finally passed the halfway mark.
What Shen Xiaoyan didn't know was that if an outsider were watching at this moment, they would surely be scared out of their wits.
Shen Xiaoyan seemed to have been split in two from the crown of her head. From behind, she appeared as a humanoid corpse standing there.
Not only that, but this body was also slowly moving, a truly terrifying sight.
Shen Xiaoyan didn't know these things, and probably didn't want to know them, because at this moment, she was shocked by the serenity she saw before her.
She saw that before her was a scene of vibrant flowers, with butterflies dancing in the air.
A gentle breeze blew, carrying a refreshing fragrance that swirled around her nostrils.
Not far away, Zheng Wei was sitting on the ground. Everyone had pale faces, clearly not having recovered from the pain.
Zheng Wei saw Shen Xiaoyan and gave her a slightly pale smile, "Mimi, keep going, you'll be out soon."
Hearing this, Shen Xiaoyan merely glanced at Zheng Wei and gave no response.
It wasn't that she didn't want to, but she was in too much pain to make any unnecessary expressions or speak.
When she finally came out, she felt as if she had returned from hell.
Zheng Wei seemed to have regained some strength. Seeing that Shen Xiaoyan had finally come out, he quickly ran forward and helped Shen Xiaoyan to sit down to the side.
Then, without pausing, he turned and helped Zhen Lingrong to sit down as well.
Although these were simple actions, he was so tired that he was panting.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoyan waved her hand at him, signaling him to sit down and rest.
Although they had narrowly escaped, no one had any joy. Everyone lay on the ground like a puddle of mud.
After a long time, Shen Xiaoyan felt that her strength had somewhat recovered.
She propped herself up and looked around. Seeing everyone with a look of despair, she couldn't help but laugh, "We've been through a near-death experience. What are everyone's thoughts?"
Hearing her say this, everyone was amused to the point of laughter.
Zhen Lingrong even smiled at her and said, "Only you have the mood to joke at a time like this."
Shen Xiaoyan stuck out her tongue, "I'm trying to find joy in sorrow. Otherwise, we couldn't just sit here and cry, could we?"
Everyone thought what she said made sense.
For the next period of time, Shen Xiaoyan took out immortal spring water and spiritual fruits from the space, along with other directly edible items.
She asked everyone to eat these and recover properly.
Fortunately, it was still relatively safe, and Luoluo was guarding them, so they could close their eyes and sleep with peace of mind.
When they woke up again, the sky had already started to darken.
Looking at the surrounding scenery, Shen Xiaoyan said to everyone, "Are we camping here tonight?"
Hearing her, Zheng Wei smiled and said, "Don't we still have your space?"
Shen Xiaoyan's eyes lit up at this.
Yes, how could she have forgotten this? Since everyone now knew she had a space, they might as well enter it openly.
Therefore, Shen Xiaoyan waved her hand and brought everyone into the space.
Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and when they opened them again, they saw birds singing and flowers fragrant.
Before their eyes were green mountains and verdant forests. Fruits of all kinds hung on the trees, emitting a fragrance that made their taste buds water uncontrollably.
The sound of clear laughter like silver bells came from their ears. Without seeing, they knew it was Ruannuan laughing.
Behind Ruannuan were two old black dogs.
The three figures moved constantly, and not far from them, two big and two small figures were watching them and smiling.
As if they had finally noticed Shen Xiaoyan and the others, Lin Xin and Mi Le Buddha also hurried over.
Lin Xin said to Zhen Lingrong, "Your Highness, I really didn't expect that such a place would exist in this world. I always thought it was something from legends, but I never imagined I would see it with my own eyes. This is all thanks to your daughter."
Le Lingrong didn't say anything but smiled with great satisfaction.
She was also immensely proud that such a divine artifact belonged to her daughter.
Although they had already slept outside, they still felt very tired.
Therefore, Shen Xiaoyan led everyone to the bamboo building and let them choose their sleeping places. Everyone went to rest.
Lin Xin and Mi Le Buddha, who had been in the space all along, didn't feel tired, so they were responsible for continuing to take care of the three little ones.
When they woke up again, they saw that it was still broad daylight.
Everyone was dazed for a moment, and then remembered that they were in the space now.
There was no day or night in the space, so there was no real sense of time.
When everyone gathered again, Shen Xiaoyan had already prepared a sumptuous meal.
After eating, they decided whether or not to go out and take a look.
Shen Xiaoyan smiled and stopped them, "It's nighttime outside now. Let's wait until dawn before we go out. Otherwise, we don't know the situation outside, and it wouldn't be good if we encountered any danger."
What she said was reasonable, so everyone said nothing more.
Zhen Lingrong was very curious about this space. Under Shen Xiaoyan's lead, she toured the space roughly.
She saw all sorts of strange and rare items, as well as things that were priceless in the Eastern Immortal Land.
Thinking of how some people outside fought desperately, even to the death, for these items, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
Things that others fought desperately for and couldn't get were abundant here in the space.
No wonder Shen Xiaoyan didn't feel heartache when she took out any good items; it was for this reason.
After touring the space, Shen Xiaoyan then led Zhen Lingrong to the Immortal Spring Pool.
Upon seeing the Immortal Spring Pool, Zhen Lingrong's eyes lit up instantly.
She finally understood why Shen Xiaoyan had so much immortal spring water in her hands; it turned out there was such a pool.
Su Yu smiled and said, "This is not the most important thing."
After speaking, she reached out and beckoned towards the pool.
Something sparkling floated out from the center of the pool.
Zhen Lingrong instinctively reached out to catch it, only to realize it was an Immortal Crystal.
Zhen Lingrong looked at Shen Xiaoyan in surprise. Shen Xiaoyan smiled lightly, "The Immortal Crystals here are inexhaustible, so..."
She didn't finish the rest of her sentence, but Zhen Lingrong already understood.
So, Shen Xiaoyan meant that she was rich.
It's just that she didn't have any crystal coins in hand.
But she had something a hundred or a thousand times more precious than crystal coins.
Being greatly shocked by Shen Xiaoyan, Zhen Lingrong was unable to react for a long time.
She thought that her daughter and son must have had a very difficult time over the years, but she never expected that...
