Liu Muyun went to open the door, but briefly paused after hearing her words. She hid her feeling of helplessness within her smile and said, "It's alright. The doctor said that you lost too much blood and need some nourishment… Your father was heartbroken when he found out that you got injured, so he asked your Uncle Zhao to go hunting early this morning. They should be coming back soon. At noon, you'll be able to drink thick chicken soup [1] and eat your favorite drumstick…"
The door closed with a squeak and the room was quiet again. Yu Xiaocao propped herself up and touched the wound on her head. She remembered her dream and took out her arm with the multicolored stone tied on her wrist.
She gently shook the rainbow stone, which didn't appear to be very special. She muttered to herself, "It was clearly just my soul that was transmigrated, so how did I bring this stone over? I must had been dreaming earlier. It's just a useless stone. How could it be a divine stone?"
[You're a useless stone! Your whole family are useless stones!] Suddenly, a bright spot appeared above the multicolored stone and a child's infuriated voice emerged within Yu Xiaocao's mind. She was so shocked that she almost threw the stone away in her hand.
That bright spot gradually became a small golden ball the size of a child's fist. A pair of big round eyes and a small mouth appeared on the glowing orb, which was leisurely floating in the air. At this time, the small glowing orb was glaring at her angrily with a puffed-up face, which made it look rather cute.
Yu Xiaocao reached out her hand and wanted to hold up the small glowing orb. However, that little thing quickly flew away with a haughty and amusing expression on its face.
"Don't be angry. I'll apologize to you, alright? You're really a divine stone? Do you really have the ability to heal injuries? Were you the one who healed the wound on my head?" Yu Xiaocao asked a series of questions.
The haughty divine stone snorted disdainfully and said, [I, this Divine Stone, was the only mystic stone that G.o.ddess Nuwa personally refined. Don't you think I'm amazing? However, most of my power was sealed by that d.a.m.ned Ling'er. How else would I had been stained by a weak human-being's blood and foolishly accepted you as my master?!]
"Your powers have already been sealed! Why are you still bragging about yourself? Stop with your nonsense about weak human-beings! The master-servant relations.h.i.+p has already been established, so I'm your master now. It's not like I'm happy about this situation. You're just a useless stone that had your powers sealed. I can't even eat you when I'm hungry, nor drink you when I'm thirsty. What can I even use you for?"
Yu Xiaocao had originally thought that she would be invincible with a point of her finger, just like what was written in the novels. Thus, she pouted in disappointment.
The small glowing orb turned into a furious little kitten with golden fur and immediately rushed towards her. Its tiny paws almost scratched Yu Xiaocao's face as it screamed:
[Who says I'm useless? Who cured the wound on your head? With that big hole in your head, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't even be able to get up from the kang bed for at least half a month! How else would you still have the energy to argue with me? Despite having most of my powers sealed, I'm still a stone that was personally refined by G.o.ddess Nuwa! My bathing water alone can prolong life and cure all kinds of illnesses. Moreover, it can also enhance beauty and maintain youthfulness!]
