Chapter 207 I Want You to Offer Your Faith

Luo Mingyue asked back: "When do you want?"

Kong Que Lan said: "We can start reading now if we have nothing to do, but the time here is synchronized with the world of villains. It's dark, and the room is not bright enough..."

Since the silver box-shaped room refined by Luo Mingyue and the room inside which holds the little man are both magical instruments, they can be controlled at will in some aspects. For example, when Luo Mingyue thinks about it, windows will appear on the wall, but there is no additional light source in the room, only the faint moonlight providing illumination.

Luo Mingyue found a golden ball from her storage space.

Xiao Hansu asked curiously: "Master, what is this?"

Luo Mingyue said: "When I went to Xuanxing Sect before, I killed many Jindan-stage sea beasts. The Sect Master took me to his treasure house for me to choose items. I took a lot of medicinal herbs and materials for training tools, as well as a lot of finished magic tools and elixirs. At that time, I directly emptied half of Xuanxing Sect's treasure house. These things have been piled up in the storage space and are basically not used..."

Luo Mingyue added: "As for the ball in my hand, it is called [Shining Star Candle], and it is a magical lighting device."

Xiao Hansu reached out and poked the [Shining Star Candle]. It felt soft, and the surface of the sphere was slightly concave. But when Xiao Hansu removed his finger, the concave surface slowly returned to its original shape.

Xiao Hansu asked: "Why doesn't it glow?"

Luo Mingyue contracted the golden sphere and injected spiritual power into it.

The sphere emits brilliant golden light, dazzling and eye-catching.

Luo Mingyue controlled its light to dim a little, and then lightly lifted it with her fingers, and the [Shining Star Candle] was embedded above her head, illuminating the entire room as bright as day.

Afterwards, Luo Mingyue controlled the expansion of the room, put out tables, chairs and desks, and said, "You can study and read here in the future."

Xiao Hansu nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Master."

Luo Mingyue looked at her and remembered that she didn't like going to school in her previous life. She couldn't force a little cub who had just transformed to be studious, so she said, "You can learn any knowledge you want. When you get tired of studying, you can go out and play. There won't be any exams..."

Xiao Hansu asked: "What is the exam?"

Luo Mingyue said: "It is a way to test your learning results. For example, today Kong Quelan teaches you ten words. Tomorrow he takes out a blank piece of paper and asks you to write down the ten words you learned today to see if you remember them. This is a test."

Xiao Hansu asked, "What if I don't remember? Will the master think I'm stupid?"

Luo Mingyue said: "No, if you don't remember it, I may have to trouble Kong Quelan to teach you again."

Xiao Hansu said: "Is that so? Then the exam doesn't sound so scary..."

Anyway, the "exam" mentioned by Luo Mingyue neither has grades nor calls for parents, and there will be no punishment if the test is not good. Xiao Hansu was not worried at all after hearing this, and even took the initiative to say: "Then let Grandpa Kong test me more, so that I can know what I haven't learned."

Luo Mingyue: "...It's up to you. If you don't want to learn to read, you can learn something else."

There were many books in Kong Quelan's [The Universe in His Sleeves]. He originally wanted to open them and read them when he had nothing to do, but he didn't expect that after making a contract with his master, he would have the opportunity to teach. He smiled very happily. People should always find something they like in life, and what he likes most is to protect the younger generations as they grow up generation after generation.

Kong Quelan took out two books, one was called "Children's Songs" and the other was "Thousand Character Book". The former was for Xiao Hansu to read, and the latter was prepared to teach Ye Keke.

"The Thousand Character Book?" Luo Mingyue remembered the Thousand Character Classic that she had learned in her previous life. She took it and had a look, and found that the contents of the two were not the same. After all, the world in the book that Luo Mingyue traveled to was fictional. Both the dynasty and the characters were different from the modern world in her previous life, so the books, documents, poems and songs were also different.

Seeing her deep in thought, Kong Que Lan asked, "Master, is there anything inappropriate about this book?"

Luo Mingyue said: "No, I just picked it up and took a look."

She returned the book to Kong Quelan.

Xiao Hansu has time to study now, but Ye Keke is busy feeding the insects in Hulu Town.

"After I finish feeding you, I will start reading..." Ye Keke paused halfway through her words. She frowned deeply and said solemnly, "Master, I discovered something important..."

Luo Mingyue came over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ye Keke said: "The number of insects in Hulu Town seems to have decreased. In the past, there were many insects jumping out of the streets and alleys. I had to put down many stone basins to feed them, but today... there are only ten insects."

Luo Mingyue said: "Maybe the other bugs are not hungry?"

Ye Keke said: "No, I found that some insects...seemed to have turned into humans..."

Luo Mingyue was surprised, "Huh?"

Kong Han couldn't help but walk over and took a look towards Hulu Town.

Ye Keke said: "I remember it very clearly. Among this group of fat [disaster-resilient insects], there was a relatively weak insect, so I paid more attention to it. Not only did I remember its appearance, I also knew its address..."

As he spoke, Ye Keke raised his hand and poked a hole in the window of one of the little houses.

Most of the little people in Hulu Town sleep with candles lit, but recently a few families have run out of candles and cannot afford to buy more, so they have to shamelessly sleep on the floor at their relatives' houses at night. In fact, the town's "prophet" Fang Yurong has told everyone through dreams that they don't need to light candles at night, but many townspeople still keep this habit, and some people can't even sleep without lighting candles.

Therefore, when Ye Keke poked a hole in the window, she could see a figure lying on the bed through the candlelight in the room.

Because the window was relatively small, Luo Mingyue and the others had to adjust their angle above the cardboard box to see the person on the bed, but the person was sleeping facing the wall, so the person's face could not be seen from the outside.

Ye Keke said: "This person was originally a bug, but now, why is it a person?"

Kong Han questioned, "You can't even see his face, how do you know he was a bug before?"

In order to prove her words, Ye Keke forced the door open again.

Although there was a bolt inside the door, it could not withstand the strength of the "giant". Not to mention the bolt inside, even half of the door was directly destroyed.

The little man in the room woke up from his sleep and saw that the door was broken and the window was leaking. His face was full of fear. He hugged the quilt and said, "Who, who is outside!" After saying that, he felt that he was powerless and in danger. He quickly put on his shoes, walked to the table, moved a stool, and approached the door slowly and lightly, with a vigilant look in his eyes.

Ye Keke said, "I'm sure that when I saw him yesterday, he was still a worm! At that time, I was thinking that I should catch him every night and feed him more meat, so that he could be fat and white. But now, he doesn't even turn into a worm at night!"

Kong Han guessed: "Is it possible that you recognized the wrong person? Maybe he has a twin brother."

Ye Keke stared at him with eyes wide open, "Do you doubt me?"

Kong Han tried to make amends, "No, I believe you, but I think the bugs may have eaten their fill and are hiding. After all, you sometimes force them to eat. I remember one time you even made one of them vomit... They may not dare to come out."

Luo Mingyue was surprised and said, "I've ever eaten a bug and vomited it? How come I didn't know that?"

Ye Keke scratched his head and said guiltily, "I also forgot the exact date. At that time, the master went to the human world to look for Master Qianxue and was not here..."

Luo Mingyue held her forehead with her hand, not knowing what to say for a moment, because she didn't know whether the [Disaster-Resisting Insects] were still considered human beings. As long as the insects were not fed to death, it would be fine. As for feeding them to vomit... it could only be said that Ye Keke was too active in feeding the insects. Luo Mingyue sighed and said, "Don't do this again in the future."

Ye Keke said quickly: "Well, I promise! I will let things take their own course and stop when I am satisfied..."

Luo Mingyue stared at the ten remaining bugs on the street below and said, "How about this, I'll go to Mojia Village first, pass through the statue, and turn into a little man, then you can use the wooden box to quickly transport me to Hulu Town. When I first started feeding the bugs, I also remembered the residence of a mother and daughter, but their house is now dark, and I'm not sure if there is anyone in the house, so I need to go and confirm it myself."

After that, Luo Mingyue said, "Keke, you were too impulsive just now. You are not allowed to destroy the little man's house. Look how scared you made the little man in the room."

The little man with the broken door had already come to the door holding a stool. He did not rush out, but stretched the stool out first, waving it around for a while, then carefully stuck his head out and found that there was nothing outside the door.

At that moment, the little man was confused. "Strange, I thought there was a thief... Could it be that the wind blew the door down? It's impossible, how could the wind be so strong... Or am I dreaming?"

Ye Keke said: "I'm sorry, I was too surprised just now and didn't think things through... How about I secretly fix his window for him?"

Kong Han said: "He might be even more scared if his window was broken for no apparent reason and he fixed it himself..."

Ye Keke said: "Then I will ask Fang Yurong to help comfort him..."

Kong Han said: "This is a good idea."

When they were talking, their heads were outside the cardboard box, so there was no need to worry that the little people would hear their conversation. However, after they finished talking, Ye Keke put his head into the cardboard box. At this time, the little man who had just broken the door suddenly put down the stool, walked out of the room, looked up at the sky, and asked hesitantly: "Did you push open my door?"

"what?"

Ye Keke was stunned.

Luo Mingyue was also a little surprised. She was about to walk towards Mojia Village. When she heard the little man's voice, she stopped and put her head into the cardboard box.

The little man looked very nervous. He stammered, "I... I know you two. I saw you two appear in the sky during the day, but I was busy doing hard labor... and I was afraid that it was my own hallucination, so I pretended that I didn't see or hear anything..."

Ye Keke asked: "What's your name?"

The villain said: "My name is Jiang Ang. Jiang means river, and Ang means high and mighty. I am fifteen years old..."

He looked very thin, about the size of a boy of twelve or thirteen years old.

Jiang Ang continued, "I had a lot of dreams a few days ago. In my dreams, there was endless meat and vegetables... These things fell from the sky, and I also saw your face in the sky."

He was referring to Ye Keke, because it was Ye Keke who had been feeding the insects during this period of time.

Ye Keke asked: "Do you remember what you looked like in your dream?"

Jiang Ang was surprised and said, "I am definitely like this now. What else could I be like?"

Ye Keke asked again: "Then do you know what you do every night?"

Jiang Ang said: "Of course I sleep at home every night... There is a custom in our town, that is to light candles to sleep at night, but I have always been reluctant to light candles, after all, there is only a small candle left at home... Today is the first time I light a candle."

When Ye Keke heard this, she guessed that the other party had lost the memory of being a bug, and even in his dreams, Jiang Ang didn't remember that he had turned into a bug.

Ye Keke said, "I'm sorry for damaging your door today. Can I give you some food, cloth, furniture or other items as compensation? As for gold and silver... the silver ingots here are too big to give to you."

Jiang Ang's eyes sparkled, "Can you give me food? Like in my dream?"

Ye Keke said: "Of course, I will try to give you as much as you like...as long as you don't blame me for breaking your windows and doors."

Jiang Ang said indifferently: "I have other rooms in my house, I can just move to another room. I hope you can give me some mutton, I used to love eating this, and I could only eat it during the Chinese New Year..."

At this point, Jiang Ang suddenly felt something was wrong, as if he had eaten mutton for many days in a row. He had a strong sense of rejection in his heart. He hesitated and said, "Excuse me, can I change it? I don't know why, but when I mention mutton, I suddenly feel nauseous and want to vomit. There is a smell of mutton in my dreams. Suddenly I feel like I don't want to eat mutton in my life... Can I order brown rice or vegetables?"

After hearing this, Ye Keke had a somewhat weird expression on her face. She was sure that this "Jiang Ang" must have been a bug, because many bugs would eat mutton at night.

Luo Mingyue said: "There is no brown rice, but there are flour and vegetables."

She took out flour from the storage space, filled a stone basin with it, and put it in for Jiang Ang.

In addition, Luo Mingyue also put down a small pot of chopped boiled eggs, chopped steamed buns, and a small pot of vegetables.

The weather is hot now, and the food in the small pot will easily go bad if stored for a long time, so we can’t give too much. Only the flour is raw and can be stored for a long time.

"So much!" Jiang Ang stretched out his hand and pinched his thigh hard to make sure he was not dreaming. He felt happy and terrified. "You have given me so much. Is there anything you need me to do?"

Luo Mingyue was not hypocritical this time. If she said that she didn't need anything, the villain in front of her might have wild thoughts. After all, the people in Hulu Town were like a pile of loose sand, unlike Mojia Village and Baishan Village, which had leaders like Jiang Yanfeng and Xu Yintong. If she asked Jiang Ang to eat fatter, Jiang Ang might think: "Do I have to fatten the pig first and then slaughter it like I do with pigs?"

In order to avoid trouble, Luo Mingyue said directly: "Faith, I need you to offer your faith and worship me as a god devoutly."
