Chapter 740 - 514: Ling’er’s Physical Form

Chapter 740: Chapter 514: Ling’er’s Physical Form

"Ling’er, what exactly is the deal with your physical form? I used to think that once the space was upgraded, you could directly have a physical body."

Turns out it’s not the case?

"Of course not, Master. My body must be personally decided by you."

By this point, Ling’er wasn’t as excited.

"Personally decided?" Xiao Mi was puzzled, "How to decide?"

Wei Ziang, unable to help, brewed tea nearby, poured a cup for Xiao Mi, and listened intently to their conversation.

Ling’er didn’t rush to explain but instead flew an egg onto the tea table.

Xiao Mi was startled: "A peacock egg?"

During their time at Xiangmu Village, they raised peacocks and recalled when her father was appointed as the chief agrarian official, they sent a pair of peacocks to the palace.

The rest were raised continuously; peacocks were still quite expensive. Besides taking two or three years for their splendid feathers to grow, before that they resembled ugly chicks.

Even so, many people were eager to buy them, with some willing to pay huge sums just to get a pair.

As such, the Jiang family began raising peacocks in large numbers.

Naturally, Xiao Mi didn’t forget to steal a few peacock eggs to hatch within the space.

So now, there are quite a few peacocks in the space.

Despite this, Xiao Mi was still puzzled by Ling’er’s act of taking out a peacock egg.

In contrast, Ling’er was very excited.

"Master, I’ll enter the peacock egg shortly, and you drop a bit of your finger blood onto it. Then I will hatch as a peacock."

Ling’er was evidently trying hard to contain her excitement.

After all, Xiao Mi yearned to enter the space for a similar duration Ling’er longed for a body.

Perhaps even longer than Xiao Mi’s yearning!

Xiao Mi cradled the peacock egg: "Ling’er, are you sure you want a peacock? What if it can’t speak? Should I find a parrot egg instead so you can talk in the future?"

"Don’t worry, Master." Ling’er obviously planned well: "Even if I become a peacock, with your blood, I can still communicate with you seamlessly and even have a mental connection."

"Moreover, I will still be the space’s Artifact Spirit, and this peacock will be me, just like before, managing everything in the space."

"The only difference is, when I leave the space in the future, I won’t need Xiao Ba’s body and can move independently, without time constraints."

When using Xiao Ba’s body outside the space, the limit is six periods; beyond that, both Xiao Ba and herself would get hurt.

The only inconvenience is no direct communication with the master’s family and friends, but Ling’er seemed prepared for this.

Before Xiao Mi could ask, a pen and paper flew by, jotting down a line, then handing it to Wei Ziang.

"Third Young Master, in the future, I can communicate with you like this, unhindered. And inside the space, I can speak directly with everyone, only outside I’m unable to talk."

Wei Ziang read aloud the content, laughed: "Looks like Ling’er thought everything through, no need for Xiao Mi to worry. Ling’er is a girl, maybe she prefers prettier things."

Though unseen, Linger’s voice sounded girlish ever since Wei first entered the space.

Xiao Mi suddenly realized, right, Ling’er is a girl. When she first knew her, she pretended to be mature and steady.

Once familiar, more like a little girl.

Since she’s a girl, disliking the black parrot and favoring the magnificent peacock appearance is quite normal.

With this thought, Xiao Mi didn’t worry anymore.

"Alright then, since you’ve decided, Ling’er, let’s begin."

Just as she was about to prick her finger, Xiao Mi remembered something: "By the way, Ling’er, during the peacock egg’s incubation, what will happen to you?"

"I’ll be the same as before; the peacock egg can’t contain all my Spiritual Sense, and it is tightly bound to the space, so even during incubation, I can continue working inside the space."

Next to her, Wei Ziang surprisingly asked: "Do you mean you can split yourself in two, half in the egg awaiting incubation, half in the space busy working?"

Even assisting the egg’s incubation?

"Yes, yes, Third Young Master is right, that’s exactly it. It’s not simply splitting in two; I can exist simultaneously in the egg and space, but it’s still me, not another entity."

Xiao Mi nodded to show understanding: "Alright, you enter the peacock egg, I’ll give you blood."

Feels like a blood-bond ritual.

Without visible action, the peacock egg wobbled, followed by Ling’er’s voice: "Master, it’s ready."

Sure enough, even inside the egg, Ling’er could speak directly like before.

Since Ling’er favored the peacock, Xiao Mi didn’t stop her, biting her finger, letting a blood drop onto the egg.

A red light flashed, engulfed by the eggshell, soon vanished.

Amidst astonishment, Xiao Mi vaguely felt a connection with the peacock egg before her.

"Master, I’ll take it for incubation now, play around and call me if needed."

Ling’er was evidently excited, controlled the egg to fly out, seeking a peacock mother to hatch it.

After Ling’er left, Xiao Mi gradually regained her senses, still amazed.

"So magical, never seen such a fantastic thing in books."

Wei Ziang chuckled: "The space’s existence itself is incredibly wondrous; no matter what unbelievable things occur, it doesn’t surprise me."

Xiao Mi nodded in agreement, indeed.

"Goo goo, goo goo."

Both froze momentarily, Wei Ziang burst into laughter: "Seems we’ve only had a bit of breakfast, now almost a whole day has passed."

Besides having breakfast, they were traveling, then knocked out, and entered the space to row out to sea – it’s exhausting.

Xiao Mi quickly summoned various delicacies: "Let’s eat first, after food rest, then when it’s light outside we’ll go."

Soon the pair was too busy even for chit-chat, enjoying one bite after another until finally full and no longer hungry.
