Guessing

Fang Yuxin took her family to visit the entire Spirit Mansion Space and explained its origin. Upon learning that the jade bracelet given to Fang Yuxin initially harbored such a mysterious space, the three members of the Fang Family all showed a change in their expressions. At this time, Fang Yuyang was still unaware of the dispute over the jade between Fang Mengyao and Fang Yuxin, but Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe could not help but wonder.

Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe both came from prestigious families and were far from naive. Fang Jintang had developed the once shaky family business into its current scale with his exceptional intellect and extraordinary vision. Although Qu Qianhe was now a full-time housewife, she had once been a formidable career woman.

Fang Mengyao's obstinate desire for the jade set was already very suspicious; however, both had thought she was merely being childish, deliberately fighting with Fang Yuxin over it. Now, knowing that one of the jade bracelets was a rare treasure carrying such a mysterious space, they couldn't help but suspect—did Fang Mengyao know something?

This speculation might be a bit too fantastic, yet with the appearance of a cultivator's Spirit Mansion Space and Fang Yuxin even mentioning that the apocalypse was 25 days away, it was plausible there could be other secretive things at play.

Fang Yuyang, noticing their expressions, realized something was amiss and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen while I was away?"

Fang Jintang sighed and told him about purchasing the set of jade jewelry and bringing it home for Fang Yuxin. Unfortunately, Fang Mengyao happened to be there and fought with Fang Yuxin for the jade. Fang Yuyang was no fool; upon hearing this, he guessed what Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe were thinking and asked, "Mom and Dad, are you suspecting that Mengyao knows something?"

Fang Yuxin simply shared how Fang Mengyao asked Fang Jintang for money and then sold her house, saying, "I also feel she might have obtained some treasure, sensed this space, and therefore wanted to seize the items then. Moreover, I think she might know about the apocalypse, and her recent disappearance is likely due to her going out to buy supplies."

Fang Yuyang quickly arrived at a crucial point and asked, "Her apartment was worth fifteen million, and Dad gave her another million, meaning she really needed money. But to buy so many supplies, where would she store them? If the apocalypse really comes, how could a young girl like her protect all these supplies? Could it be that she has a space too?"

Fang Yuxin thought about it; in her dream, Fang Mengyao did have a space. However, since Fang Mengyao had stolen the Jade, Fang Yuxin couldn't be sure whether Fang Mengyao still had a space or not. But clearly, Fang Yuyang had hit the nail on the head; Fang Mengyao's confident sale of her house, converting it into a significant amount of money for supplies, suggested she likely indeed had a space!

What most concerned Fang Yuxin was Fang Mengyao's particular interest in that set of jade. Her stubbornness to snatch it, even disregarding her own pride, didn't seem like a mere act of petulance.

So, Fang Yuxin said, "Dad, if she calls you, could you refrain from telling her about the space for the time being?"

Fang Jintang nodded. The matter of the Spirit Mansion Space was of great importance. Such a treasure, if even a hint were disclosed, could mean endless trouble for the Fang Family in the future, and he naturally understood what was at stake. He didn't believe Fang Mengyao had such a malicious nature; he was just worried she might inadvertently leak the information in an unguarded moment.

He said gravely, "I will never tell her a word about this matter, but Xinxin, you must remember not to tell anyone either, not even Qianqian. That child... he appeared too suddenly, and after all, he is still a child. We don't yet know who is behind him. It's better to be cautious for now."

Fang Yuyang added, "Dad and I will take care of the supplies. Xinxin, you and Mom should also discuss more, and buy whatever you want to stock up. Let's store as much as we can, so if the apocalypse really happens, we'll have some security. Even if the apocalypse doesn't come in the end, we can slowly sell the goods again; there won't be any loss. So Xinxin, don't put too much pressure on yourself, you have us."

With that matter settled, the family didn't stay long in the Spirit Mansion Space. After they exited, Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe were the first to leave the room. When Fang Yuxin was about to leave, she was stopped by Fang Yuyang.

Fang Yuyang asked, "Xinxin, now that Dad and Mom aren't here, tell your brother the truth—what else do you dream about?"

"I..." Fang Yuxin opened her mouth, hesitating not knowing if she should speak, "Brother, can you not ask, please?"

"No!" Fang Yuyang insisted firmly. He reached out and took hold of Fang Yuxin's shoulders, looking into her eyes, "Xinxin, tell your brother what you dreamed about! Once you say it out loud, you won't be afraid anymore."

His last statement was gentle, persuasive like a siren's whisper. Fang Yuxin met his gaze, and her psychological defenses completely collapsed; as if possessed, she revealed her entire dream. By the time she finished, half an hour had passed. Fang Yuyang had not interrupted her once until she described how Fang Mengyao had crippled her limbs and attracted zombies that devoured her alive—only then did Fang Yuyang shout, "Enough!"

Fang Yuxin was startled back to reality by his shout, and only then did she notice she had been crying uncontrollably without knowing when it had begun. Fang Yuyang drew closer and embraced her, gently patting her back, and said softly, "Enough, Xinxin, no more, it's over—it was just a dream. What happens in dreams won't come true, your brother promises to protect you, as well as our parents. No one will be able to hurt you."

However, Fang Yuxin suddenly remembered the incident with Fang Mengyao drugging her. She pushed Fang Yuyang away, wiped her tears, and with a stern face said, "Brother, there's something else I forgot to tell you. Mom and Dad don't know about this, but that day, Fang Mengyao wanted to snatch the jade jewelry. Because of that dream, I didn't give it to her and took the jade back to my room.

When I went downstairs, Fang Mengyao was helping in the kitchen, saying she wanted to personally make a dish to apologize to me. Remembering my dream, I was worried she might have added 'Suppressant,' so I deliberately ruined all the dishes. Later, I had Qingyun check them, and she said there indeed was a mysterious substance inside. It was impossible to determine all its components, but from the components that were detected, that substance would have a suppressing effect on cells. Brother, I suspect she added 'Suppressant,' but since I ruined it, she hasn't tried anything else. Maybe she has run out of 'Suppressant.'"

After hearing Fang Yuxin's dream, Fang Yuyang's hatred for Fang Mengyao had reached the bone. When he learned about the actual 'Suppressant,' he was furious, his face turning an iron blue as he wished he could kill Fang Mengyao with his own hands! Clenching his fists tightly, his knuckles cracked. He then said, "I will tell Mom and Dad about this; we can't keep it from them! Leave Fang Mengyao's matter to your brother to investigate. I want to see exactly who she is!"
