A five-year-old goddess, raised to become an emperor for all time through a bronze mirror.

Chapter 80 This little brat isn't so easily fooled...

The shining light was dazzling, like millions of stars gathered there, radiating a brilliant glow.

As he spoke, he slowly pointed to the side of the drilling rig, where several huge LED bulbs hung, as conspicuous as the bright moon in the night sky.

They hung silently, emitting a soft yet bright light that contrasted sharply with the surrounding darkness.

He was filled with doubts, because he had been staking out the place all day.

All the objects displayed by Guangling Kingdom were completely beyond his previous understanding; he had never seen anything like them before.

The light was so intense that it was as if daytime had arrived, and it did not require any source of fire to ignite it.

Simply connect a thin black wire to the side of that booming, mysterious object, and it will instantly light up, so bright it's terrifying and almost blinding.

"General, I was almost blinded by that thing!" he said, still shaken, his eyes filled with curiosity and fear of the LED light.

At the same time, he couldn't help but want to see clearly what kind of thing could have such amazing brightness;

So I stared intently at those LED lights for a long time, and time seemed to freeze at that moment...

His eyes gradually became dry, but he still refused to look away, as if he were attracted by the light, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

Upon hearing this, Aruhan narrowed his eyes slightly, a thoughtful look flashing across them.

He carefully examined the strange object on Pei Yunjing's side. He had been traveling and fighting for many years, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a bizarre object.

Aruhan couldn't help but wonder, what kind of divine object is this?

"Boom..."

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Just then, the drilling rig suddenly emitted a deep hum, a sound like a sleeping beast awakening, full of power.

However, Pei Yunjing was completely unaffected, seemingly unconcerned, and continued their work methodically, showing no fear of the sudden loud noise.

"What...what exactly is this..." Aruhan clenched his fists, speaking in disbelief.

Could it be that a divine being is helping Guangling?

He pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his hand and waved it behind him: "Withdraw...go back and discuss it further...don't act rashly again..."

Aruhan dared not gamble, fearing he would be scammed again like last time. Now, his arm still aches faintly when the wind and rain blow…

Pei Nanxing, Pei Yunjing...

He will definitely avenge this!

------

Fast forward to the present day...

It was already the next morning—

Nian Nian slowly woke up in a daze on the big bed.

Her once clear and bright eyes were now faintly tinged with dark circles, and her lower eyelids seemed to have been lightly painted with traces of sorrow by an invisible brush.

She lazily raised a small hand, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and felt helpless.

Oops...

I clearly didn't sleep well last night. The terrible scene from my dream kept replaying in my mind—my aunt was there, fiercely forcing me to take my medicine, and I was desperately resisting, but no matter how hard I struggled, it was all in vain.

Then the dream became increasingly bizarre. She suddenly turned into a silly little girl with a crooked mouth, drooling all over her face. She looked both ridiculous and terrifying.

Niannian quietly recalled the scene in her dream; the terrifying images replayed in her mind like movie clips!

Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, she jolted awake, a strong sense of unease welling up inside her.

No, no, this is too scary!

She secretly made up her mind to seek help from her grandfather.

So, Niannian carefully stepped on those pink slippers, as if afraid of making the slightest sound;

She gently opened the door and then tiptoed toward the door of her grandfather's study.

At the door of Grandpa Fu's study...

Niannian tiptoed and gently knocked on the door:

"Dong dong dong..."

The sound echoed in the silent corridor, as if striking her anxious heart.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no response.

Just as she was feeling a little disappointed, Butler Liu happened to pass by and caught a glimpse of Nian Nian standing at the door of the study out of the corner of his eye.

Butler Liu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Miss Niannian, the old master hasn't returned yet!"

Upon hearing this, Niannian's expectant gaze instantly dimmed. She pouted and softly uttered an "Oh," a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

Then, she turned her head away helplessly and walked dejectedly towards her room, her small figure looking particularly lonely in the corridor.

Just then, she bumped into Wen Wan, who was completely absorbed in her phone.

Niannian cried out "Ouch!" and fell on her bottom.

Wen Wan reluctantly put down her phone. She was about to get angry, but when she saw the person in front of her, her anger flashed across her face and was replaced by gentleness.

She said softly, "Niannian, what's wrong? Next time you walk, you should watch where you're going." As she spoke, she slowly reached out her hand, wanting to help Niannian up.

When Nian Nian looked up, she met Wen Wan's gaze.

The dream from last night instantly flashed into her little mind: Wenwan was fiercely forcing her to take her medicine and wouldn't let her cry out.

Do not……

don't want……

Niannian's little face instantly turned terrified. "I don't want to become an idiot! I don't want to become an idiot!" she thought. She hadn't even properly taken care of her grandfather and father yet!

She pushed herself up with her little hands, instantly got up, and took short strides; she charged forward headfirst, like a little calf, knocking Wen Wan, who was blocking her way, flat on her back.

After rushing back to her room, Niannian was filled with relief at having escaped.

The small figure darted into the room like an arrow released from a bow, and with a "bang," the door slammed shut behind him, as if it could shut out all the dangers from the outside world.

At this moment, she leaned against the back of the door, as if she had lost all her strength, and slowly squatted down, curling herself into a small ball;

Those tiny, delicate hands tightly hugged their knees, as if only in this way could they calm their wildly beating hearts.

Each heartbeat was clearly audible, sounding especially loud in the quiet room. Thank goodness... thank goodness I wasn't caught by my aunt.

Grandpa hasn't come back either; he's still helping out at Yun Jing's place! No, I'm so scared, I don't want to stay here anymore!

She's going to find her father!

If I stay here any longer, I'll become a little idiot and might not even recognize my dad!

……

Meanwhile, Wen Wan was stunned and disoriented by Nian Nian's sudden headbutt, her mind a complete mess.

She gradually realized that the little girl was no longer as easy to fool as before, and a sense of wariness appeared in her eyes.

With the help of housekeeper Liu and other servants, she struggled to her feet, her gaze falling upon the shattered, spiderweb-like screen of her phone.

A surge of anger welled up inside her, an anger that almost consumed her.

"Damn little brat!" she couldn't help but mutter under her breath...
