Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Rong Refuses to Fall Into a Trap

A three-year-old... ah, no, a little girl who had just turned four today, actually knew about the Extreme Dao Sect.

If his ancestor hadn’t mentioned this name when talking about the Nine Swords, he wouldn’t have even known that such a sect ever existed.

However... dreams were formed by one’s subjective imagination, so no matter how bizarre the events were, it was to be expected.

Shaking his head to throw out the unreliable thoughts in his mind, Su Han looked at the little girl and asked again, "Are you really not going to learn it?"

The little girl shook her head. "I won’t learn! Rong doesn’t want to fall into a pit!"

Hmm... very well, very strong. Let’s hope you never fall into a pit in your life.

Complaining inwardly, Su Han thought for a moment before his eyes lit up with an idea.

"Here... today is Rong’s birthday, right?

"We won’t learn the Earth Sword anymore. How about I teach you something else?"

"Hmm..." Rong tilted her head and looked at Su Han, poking the corner of her mouth as she thought for a moment before asking, "What are you going to teach Rong?"

Su Han smiled. Using his Divine Thought, he dug out a grass seed from beside a snow-covered rock.

"Here... watch closely."

After speaking to Rong, Su Han manipulated his Divine Thought, pinched the seed in his hand, and activated the skill: Flowers Bloom in an Instant.

Instantly, the power of time surged between his fingers. The grass seed in his hand quickly took root and sprouted, growing stems and leaves.

In the blink of an eye, a Hua bloomed in Su Han’s hand.

"Today is Rong’s birthday, so I’m giving this flower to Rong as a gift!"

Controlling the skill’s effect to pause briefly at the moment the flower bloomed, Su Han handed the Hua in his hand to the little girl.

"Wow, that’s amazing!" The little girl took the Hua from Su Han’s hand, her eyes wide open. She stared intently at the flower in her hand, as if trying to figure out exactly how it took shape.

Su Han smiled confidently. "How about it? Do you want to learn this?"

"Mhm, mhm!" Hearing Su Han’s words, Rong looked up at him and nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, letting out a tender sound of agreement.

"Haha! Alright, then we’ll learn this..."

Su Han dug out another pile of grass seeds. While explaining the principles of Flowers Bloom in an Instant to the little girl, he picked up the seeds one by one to demonstrate.

After the demonstration, Rong’s eyes grew brighter and brighter. She let out occasional gasps of amazement, her admiration for Su Han reaching an absolute peak.

"How is it? Do you understand?" Su Han asked, looking at the little girl after performing another demonstration and explaining the principles of Flowers Bloom in an Instant once more.

"Mhm, mhm, I understand." The little girl nodded repeatedly, impatiently pinching a seed in her hand. Looking up, her large eyes curved into crescent moons as she couldn’t help but praise Su Han, "Big brother is so amazing, even more amazing than Daddy!"

"Of course..." Su Han replied instinctively. "This Crown Prince exists beyond the Three Realms and Six Paths, standing above the River of Space-Time..."

Halfway through his sentence, Su Han lightly slapped his own mouth. He couldn’t help but mutter inwardly, "Why am I bragging to a little girl in a dream? Drinking too much alcohol really is harmful!"

Seeing Su Han slap his own mouth, the little girl blinked in confusion. It wasn’t until Su Han looked over again that she tilted her head and said, "Crown Prince? Big brother, what does ’this Crown Prince’ mean?"

Su Han pointed at himself. "’This Crown Prince’ refers to me, your big brother."

"Oh!" Rong nodded thoughtfully. "Then, you are Brother?"

"Mhm." Su Han gave a noncommittal response, then pointed to the seed in the little girl’s hand. "Here... now try and see if you can make the seed in your hand bloom into a Hua."

"Mhm, mhm!" Rong nodded. Her attention returned to the seed in her hand. Recalling the things Su Han had painstakingly broken down and explained to her, she instinctively followed his method.

However... after trying for a long time, the seed in her hand only showed a slight sign of sprouting, but it stubbornly refused to bloom into a Hua.

After failing several attempts, the little girl couldn’t help but pout her small mouth.

"Ugh~ Rong is so stupid. Brother explained it so clearly, yet Rong still can’t learn how to turn the seed into a Hua!"

Watching the little girl’s efforts, Su Han discovered the problem after a few more tries. His skill wasn’t significantly affected by cultivation level; even an ordinary person with no cultivation could theoretically perform it. The only thing restricting the skill’s power was the user’s understanding of the Time Law.

For a little girl of her age, no matter how much of a genius she was, it was impossible to have a deep understanding of time. Being able to cause even a slight change in the seed was already considered incredibly amazing!

With this in mind, Su Han coordinated his Divine Thought and raised his hand to gently pinch the little girl’s nose. "Alright, it’s not Rong’s fault. There was a problem with how your big brother taught it."

The little girl looked up at him, her eyes carrying a bit of expectation. "Really?"

"Yes, really." Su Han nodded. "Then let’s learn it again!"

"Mhm, mhm." Rong nodded.

Su Han thought for a moment and asked, "Rong, does your ring contain any ores, herbs, or things like that? Anything that can be used for Artifact Refining?"

"Artifact Refining?" Rong tilted her head, looking utterly confused.

Su Han smacked his forehead. "I mean... are there any valuable items placed in your Storage Ring?"

"Yes!" Rong nodded. "Rong’s ring holds lots and lots of gifts from my senior brothers, senior sisters, martial uncles, and aunts!"

Taking off the Storage Ring from her hand, Rong handed it to Su Han. "Here, big brother, see for yourself."

Su Han took the little girl’s Storage Ring and probed it with his Divine Thought. He found quite a lot of items inside, but he didn’t discover any Refining Materials. However, on second thought, it made sense; no one in their right mind would give a three- or four-year-old girl Refining Materials as a gift.

Fortunately, this couldn’t stump him. Taking out several small, four-star and five-star quality accessories from the Storage Ring, Su Han utilized his skills as a five-star Artifact Refiner to dismantle the trinkets and reforge them into a brand-new bracelet.

Carving casually, he stacked over a hundred combined Arrays and several hundred types of Spirit Patterns onto it in the blink of an eye. In fact, while inscribing the Arrays and Spirit Patterns, Su Han deliberately suppressed the urge to cover it in a pile of nine-star Arrays and six-star Spirit Patterns, just so the bracelet could stably bear his Time Law.

Once the Artifact Refining of the bracelet was complete, Su Han attached his understanding of the Time Law, corresponding to the Celestial Human Realm, onto the bracelet in the form of an Enchantment.

"Here! It’s done. This is for Rong.

"From now on, as long as Rong wears this bracelet and follows the method I taught you, you’ll be able to easily turn a seed into a Hua!"

"Really?" Hearing Su Han’s words, Rong instantly fell in love with the bracelet in his hand, which was adorned with a chain of sparkling beads and engraved with intricate, exquisite patterns.

Taking the bracelet and solemnly putting it on her right wrist, Rong wiggled her little arm.

"Rest assured, big brother. Rong will wear it on her hand forever." As she spoke, Rong touched the bracelet on her wrist with immense affection, looking up at Su Han to ask, "Since... this bracelet is so beautiful, does big brother want to give it a name?"

"Hmm..." Su Han shook his dizzy head, and a phrase blurted out:

"Flowers Bloom in an Instant, A Gaze of Ten Thousand Years!"
