[This is also ch 334 because I messed up the numbering of my chapters earlier on. It is not a repost and it’s the start of a new raw chapter.]

  “Oh, not much. I just feel that this Xiao Xiao lad is quite peculiar!” smiled Zhou Jinjiang. He did not share his true feelings.

  Cheng Biyuan knew that his daughter possessed the dimension, which would, in turn, make her seem peculiar to those who didn’t know the truth. He smiled too and said, “Xiao Xiao has her encounters. I am happy as long as she’s safe.”


  Zhou Jinjiang nodded as though he was still pondering about something.

  “My Lord, with regards to building the moat around Qing’an Province, I feel it’s best if we expand around the original official state. That way it won’t cost us as much in terms of resources and manpower.”


  “About this….”


  Thinking about it for a little bit, Cheng Biyuan said slowly, “We won’t be moving to anywhere else and we have already build our residence here. I think as far as the moat is concerned, there’s no need to be too formal. Afterall, the residences of Qing’an Province aren’t particularly well off. Let’s put this matter on hold for the time being.”


  “We can’t just not do it!” Zhou Jinjiang smiled bitterly, “You were made Count Zhongyuan by the emperor directly. We can’t deny your new status and a moat must be built, a moat that belongs to none other than Count Zhongyuan. In addition, this is not the right location for a nobleman. This location is only good as the headquarter of a sect.”


  He paused at this point and looked at Cheng Biyuan. Smiling, he said, “You aren’t short on money. C’mon, Lord, nobody will believe that!”


  “HO HO HO!” laughed Cheng Biyuan. “You are right, others don’t think that we will need money. But we need money for everything. Not that mention that Xiao Xiao needs her mystical stone, when it comes to this, we can’t touch her resources!”


  “That is true!”


  Zhou Jinjiang had no idea why Cheng Xiao Xiao need such a large quantity of mystical stones. But it was sufficient as long as she could continue to provide what seemed to be an endless supplies of mystical animals and mystical rice etc, etc.

  While the two of them were planning the future direction of the Cheng’s in the study, Cheng Xiao Xiao, who was finally able to lose her stalker, summoned little Yuteng back from her play time.

  “Oh, so many mystical stones!” Little Yuteng couldn’t help but to rejoice when she saw the upward of 50,000 or so mystical stone piled into a small mountain. The ironed arm bear was not shy about grabbing them straight up with started shoving them into his mouth, making loud crunching noises.

  Cheng Xiao Xiao, standing next to it, rolled her eyes incredulously, “Little bear, how are you just eating them directly?”


  “Roar!” responded the ironed arm bear to her question and continued feasting on the stones as those they were some sort of yummy snacks. Cheng Xiao Xiao watched on speechlessly.

  “Hehe, Young Mistress, don’t worry. The little bear will be fine!” smiled little Yuteng.

  Cheng Xiao Xiao shook her head helplessly and said, “Okay, little Yuteng, do your thing. What do we do with these?”


  Little Yuteng had been fully in charge of the operations of the dimension; all Cheng Xiao Xiao had to do was to stand by and observe.

  “Young Mistress, I don’t know how much more mystical stones will the crystal fruit tree require. I plan to split up the stones – half to level up the dimension and the other half for the crystal fruit tree, what do you think?” Little Yuteng shared her idea.

  “Sure! Whatever you say!”


  Once she got her confirmation, her little arms started dancing in the air. A portion of the mystical stones, under the guidance of her arms, started to swirl. It swirled faster and faster until it became a hurricane.

  “ROAARR!!”


  The ironed arm bear, who was happily feasting away, was agitated all of a sudden. All the mystical stones that were in front of him were gone and he roared ferociously at little Yuteng.

  Looking at how clumsy he was, Cheng Xiao Xiao chuckled and said, “Be patient, little bear. I will bring you some more in a little bit!”


  “Roar!”


  The ironed arm bear finally calmed down after hearing that there would be more stones. But it still bore its teeth at little Yuteng to show its discontent.
