But upon thinking, this space ring looks no different from ordinary space rings and most leads in novel hide the fact that they have space. So, this ring could be used as her cover.
She tied up everything and slept.
Next morning, she went to find her grandfather.
"I thought you would not come today, you really dare."
Chujiu smiled cheekily, "Grandfather I was just a bit curious and spoke wrongly. Don't take it to heart. I have something important to tell".
Hearing that its an important issue, Grandfather Lin lead her to his room and placed some snacks for her to eat.
While snacking she explained her discoveries and how she absorbed dark energy and got promoted to 3rd stage spirit realm.
Only now did Grandfather Lin realised that her cultivation level changed. He was shocked for a while, because he never heard of anyone skipping 3 stages and an entire realm at once.
Slowly he accepted the fact that his granddaughter is abnormal and let it go. First its soul splitting, next its her spirit root and now her cultivation speed.
Sign… though she is abnormal, she is still his cute little granddaughter.
"Don't tell your uncles and brothers at once like how you told me, they don't have a strong heart like me. Tell them slowly and let them adjust to your abnormality."
Chujiu who initially planned for a surprise attack withdraw her plan. But she will annoy her brothers to death, didn't they show off their cultivation talents before leaving on the mission. Now she is eagerly waiting for their return.
Looking at her scheming eyes, what can grandfather Lin not understand. So he kindly reminded her about the extra functionality of the space ring, "You can use your space ring to adjust your cultivation level if you want to play with those brats".
"Oh, I forgot…. You are such a sweetheart grandfather", saying this Chujiu stood up and gave her grandfather a kiss on his cheeks.
Grandfather Lin laughed out loud and let her sit on his lap and slowly caressed her hair. The eyes are slightly moist. Chujiu can see that Grandfather Lin is seing her father through her face. She carries half of his facial features and half of the features of her mother. Its a beautiful mix of features of two people.
She placed her head on his shoulder, the seemingly strong and powerful man on the continent is currently showing how vulnerable he can be at times. Grandfather seems to be reminiscing the past and is in a daze, after sometime he came out of his daze and looked at the little girl in his arms.
"Little Jiu, can you promise me one thing?"
"What is it grandfather?"
"I know you are destined to do great things and you will be leaving me to see the world outside. I cannot cut your wings and let you accompany me. But wherever you are, you should remember that there is an old heart waiting for you at home. You cannot risk your life, no matter what. You have to come once in a while to visit me until I leave this world".
Chujiu's eyes turn red, she never experienced kinship or familial love in modern life. There was no one who cared about her life and death. In addition, she made so many enemies who always want her dead.
But now, she have a beautiful family and so many people who love her dearly. Who can even sacrifice their life to protect her.
"Grandfather, little Jiu will never leave you. I will always stay by your side, even if I go elsewhere that will only be temporary. You are my family, I will come back. This is my home. I will also find parents and bring them back. I will bring home a live in grandson in law for you."
Grandfather Lin was listening to Chujiu's words with overflowing happiness but suddenly he heard about grandson in law and his lips twitched.
What is this little girl thinking all the time, isn't she just 11 this year?
Forget it, she cannot marry in the next few decades anyway.
He slowly patted the little girl in his arms.
After a while Chujiu got back to her courtyard, she has already adjusted her cultivation level to stage 9 of true qi realm.
She sat down on a chair but somehow felt her skin irritating. She asked her maids to prepare a bath and went in to soak in the herbal bath tub. She likes using some herbs and flowers during bath. It gives a calming affect helping her to nourish skin and hair.
The itch she left earlier seems to have reduced a bit. She lifted her hand only to see her skin seems to peeling of a layer.
Stunned, Chujiu rubbed her hands and a layer of skin is removed. Entire body is shedding a layer of skin and the skin beneath seems to be much smoother and healthier. It is fair and radiant. After rubbing herself thoroughly, she completed her bath and put on clothes before checking herself out in a mirror.
What she saw in the mirror is a delicate and flawless little beauty. The texture of her skin underwent a revitalisation, becoming smoother and more supple.
When she started cultivation her body underwent a few changes and she is not ugly anymore.
But now, this change is too huge.
As Chujiu moved, the light seemed to dance upon her revitalised skin, casting a radiant aura that spoke of the profound changes she had undergone. The once-concealed beauty emerged in full splendour, a radiant manifestation of the healing brought about by her diligent cultivation.
In addition to the physical improvements, Chujiu's features became more refined, embodying the grace and elegance that had long been obscured. Her hair, once lacklustre, gained a newfound lustre and silkiness, cascading in a way that complemented the revitalised complexion.
Previously after removing poison her appearance changed, blemishes, dark circles are all removed. Skin complexion changed as well making her look beautiful.
But now, this transformation is at completely at next level.
'Maybe in the future after I grow up, people will call me a goddess or fairy descended from heavens.
Maybe all powerful young men will start pestering me to at least take a look at them once.
How should I stop them, I can only accept one person then what about the rest?'
While Chujiu is dreamy with her thoughts, there was a knock on the door.
