Chapter 628 : The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 628: Three Consecutive Upgrades and the Appearance of the Artifact Spirit (2)
Mo Yan couldn't quite pinpoint the changes, but it felt as if the previously lifeless plants had been infused with souls; she could sense a kind of joy emanating from them. Just as she laughed and shook her head, dismissing it as a hallucination due to lack of rest, the voice from earlier resounded in her mind again, this time crystal clear: "Wow, Yanyan, you're here! You finally came to see me!"
Startled, Mo Yan looked towards the source of the voice but saw nothing. As she puzzled over this, the voice continued, "Yanyan, come to the Jade Platform!"
Determining the direction of the voice, Mo Yan quickly ran towards the Jade Platform. Although the appearance of this voice was bizarre, everything about this space upgrade had been unusual. Moreover, if this voice could reach her through the space's connection even when she was outside, it could easily harm her now that she was inside. Mo Yan trusted that the space, which had accompanied her through two lives and upgraded through accumulated merit, wouldn't harbor anything harmful or evil towards her.
The space had expanded to a vast area, roughly equivalent to a circle with a radius of fifteen hundred meters. After running for a while, she reached the Jade Platform. She instinctively looked at the Merit Orb in the center and saw that it had returned to its pristine, crystal-clear state. However, something peculiar had happened—there were now two round, black spots the size of marbles on the orb's surface. As she watched, the black spots blinked mischievously, revealing themselves to be a pair of eyes!
Stunned, Mo Yan realized that the Merit Orb had somehow sprouted eyes. She felt as if she were in a fantasy.
The eyes seemed to be very pleased with Mo Yan's astonishment, sliding around the orb's surface energetically. The voice, tinged with urgency, spoke again: "Yanyan, hurry, let me out! I'm suffocating in here!"
Mo Yan snapped out of her daze, staring at the blinking eyes. Strangely, she didn't find them frightening; instead, she felt a sense of warmth and familiarity, as if they were an old friend or family member.
Hearing its plea to be released, Mo Yan was puzzled. "How am I supposed to let you out? Do I have to break the Merit Orb?"
The little black eyes rolled disdainfully, "Yanyan, you dummy! If you break the Merit Orb, how will you accumulate merit to upgrade the space?"
Being called a "dummy" almost made Mo Yan choke in exasperation. Frustrated, she retorted, "You didn't explain properly; how was I supposed to know what to do?"
The little eyes shifted, seeming a bit embarrassed, and muttered, "I forgot!"
"Poof!"
The incongruity of the mature voice suddenly taking on a coquettish tone made Mo Yan laugh out loud, unable to keep a straight face.
The little eyes seemed perplexed by her laughter but quickly pressed on, eager to be freed. "You just need to prick your finger, like when you first activated the space, and drop some blood on the Merit Orb. That will release me."
Mo Yan hadn't expected it to be so simple. She quickly found a small knife and cut her index finger. Just as she was about to let the blood drip onto the orb, she hesitated, concerned. "You're the eyes of the Merit Orb; is it really okay to release you?"
