Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space

The grateful Hua Jin was comfortably at home accompanying her grandmother and mother. She had to please them well; otherwise, her mother might not agree to her descending the mountain again in the coming days.

"Mom, here you go." Hua Jin, responsible for threading the needle, handed the needle to her mother.

"Go ahead, what's up this time?" Knowing her own child well, this sudden act of pleasing her and the grandmother must mean there's something going on.

Mrs. Qi glanced at her daughter while holding a pair of pants with a hole.

Old Lady Hua smirked and smiled upon hearing.

The child's attempts at currying favor were too obvious; pouring tea, massaging backs, always at the beck and call. Unlike before, when she wouldn't stay for breakfast, she'd either go out with her girlfriends or practice martial arts, or she'd lead Hei Da and the others up the mountain.

"Mom... where?" Hua Jin shook Mrs. Qi's arm, acting petulantly.

A mother knows her daughter too well; nothing can be hidden from her.

"Stop, stop, stop. Look at what I'm holding. Aren't you afraid of being pricked?" Mrs. Qi hurriedly raised the needle higher.

"Mom wouldn't bear it!" Hua Jin nestled directly into her mother's embrace.

"Who said..." Mrs. Qi pretended to prick Hua Jin with the needle, teasing her daughter who squirmed like a worm in her arms, giggling merrily.

She called out, "I was wrong, I was wrong, Mom..."

"No sulking," Mrs. Qi lightly patted her daughter's back, although her smiling lips showed she enjoyed her daughter's antics.

"Now tell me, what's the matter?" Then, she gave her daughter a side-eyed look.

"Haha... Mom... actually, there's nothing much. I just have some unfinished business down the mountain, I need to make another trip down," Hua Jin grinned, speaking about her descent without further ado.

"Another trip down the mountain?" Mrs. Qi's smile paused, her brow furrowed.

Old Lady Hua stopped her work too, looking at her granddaughter.

"Why, what needs you to go down the mountain? Is it your brother's classmate's family?"

Old Lady Hua could only think of Qin Shu's family.

"Grandma, it's not them. I promised a group of kids I'd visit them in a few days."

"A group of kids?" The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged glances, simultaneously looking at Hua Jin.

"Where did you meet a group of kids?" Old Lady Hua asked seriously, as did Mrs. Qi.

"Grandma, mom, here's how it happened..." Hua Jin then recounted how she met these kids. However, she didn't want to worry her grandmother and mother, so she changed New Moon City to Shanggu Town.

"You have too much courage!" Mrs. Qi angrily almost slapped her daughter, though she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Indeed, deserves a beating." This time even Old Lady Hua didn't side with Hua Jin.

"With the epidemic so severe, you dare go to the town? Are you out of your mind?"

Not ready to hit, they nonetheless used stern looks to scold.

"Grandma, mom, listen to me first, don't worry. Am I such an unreliable person? Rest assured, I won't be in any danger."

But Mrs. Qi's eyes clearly told her: Yes, you are.

Reliable people wouldn't sneak down the mountain, the mother and grandmother looked at Hua Jin with an unsaid consensus.

Hua Jin: "..."

"Haha." An awkward laugh. "Mom, grandma, have you forgotten I'm not a regular person, I have the blessed land protecting me."

"Well, it's true, but it can only protect you as a person, can it really block viruses?" Mrs. Qi couldn't help but tap her daughter's forehead.

Following her mother's force, Hua Jin flopped to the side, lying half on the bed, and nodded vigorously.

"Mom, you're too smart! It really can…"

"What are you saying?" Old Lady Hua stretched her neck, pulled her limp granddaughter from the bed to sit up.

"Are you saying it's true?" Although her granddaughter was certain, Old Lady Hua was still slightly incredulous.

Mrs. Qi too skeptically looked at her daughter, finding it too magical to believe that the blessed land space could block viruses.

Faced with two skeptical faces, Hua Jin decided not to explain further, letting actions speak for themselves.

Then the basket of needles and threads on the bed gently lifted in front of Old Lady Hua and Mrs. Qi's eyes.

…It rose, finally stabilizing one meter above the bed. With Hua Jin's subtle brow lift, it playfully circled the two before stopping between them.

The grandmother and mother stared wide-eyed and open-mouthed at the floating basket, with Old Lady Hua disbelievingly waving her hand beneath it.

Though she knew her granddaughter wouldn't use illusion to fool them, she instinctually did so.

Mrs. Qi went further, directly grabbing the basket from midair, observing it, then releasing it. The basket stayed stable in midair.

Mrs. Qi turned to her daughter, probing her with her gaze.

"Jin'er, how is this achieved?" Old Lady Hua couldn't help but directly ask.

Hua Jin softly smiled, reaching up for the basket paused in midair, "Grandma, Mom, remember I could also control things in the space?"

"Are you saying you can do it outside now too?"

The granddaughter had mentioned that in the blessed land space she was the ruler; each plant and tree was under her control. Old Lady Hua immediately grasped it.

Hua Jin nodded obediently, "Yes."

Then other items on the bed began to levitate too, with such facts before them that Old Lady Hua and Mrs. Qi couldn't possibly disbelieve.

"But...how does this relate to blocking viruses?" The reality was before them, yet Mrs. Qi still couldn't grasp the link.

Old Lady Hua nodded, she didn't understand either.

Hua Jin: "Grandma, Mom, do you know why these things can float in the air?"

The mother and grandmother exchanged glances, then entered deep thought. Mrs. Qi answered first: "Of course, it's under your control."

"Then Mom, what do I use to control them?"

Now the mother and grandmother were truly clueless.

Could it be immortals' magic, would her daughter know magic?

Such amusing thoughts suddenly emerged in their minds.

It seemed impossible, yet simultaneously invoked a certain excitement.

…thinking…if it were true?

"Is it Immortal power?" Old Lady Hua's eyes gleamed at her granddaughter, almost reverently speaking.

Hua Jin laughed, but nodded anyway, saying it wasn't incorrect.

After all, in the Mortal World, such an incredible space couldn't exist. Perhaps in another dimension, there really were Cultivators, or even Immortals!

"You can say that, though it's a little different. More precisely, it's that I control them here." Hua Jin pointed to her own head.

"Your brain?"

"Yes, it's my spiritual power controlling it."

The mother and grandmother didn't comprehend further.

"It's an invisible, colorless thing. I can feel it but can't see or touch it. As long as I will it, I can not only wrap things in it under my control but also form a barrier isolating anything bad including viruses. Therefore, your baby has such great confidence and dares to say she won't be in danger."

"Does this mean the dreadful virus is really blocked by Divine Power?" Mentioning 'Divine Power,' Old Lady Hua appeared a little excited.
