Chapter 387 The Life Energy of the Origin of Space
The cicadas chirp noisily and rhythmically in summer, and the long summer vacation is still in full swing.
For Yuan Xiaozhi, who just finished fifth grade, this summer vacation is destined to be different from previous years.
Ever since that night when Mom's fingertips emitted magical light and told stories about "Light Superman," "Crystal Forest," "Guardian Spirit Aunt," and "Bad Guy Pollution," the little guy's worldview has been completely refreshed!
He was no longer satisfied with just the heroes in cartoons, because he knew that the real, most powerful hero was right beside him—his mother!
Ash is at an age where his curiosity is exploding and his energy is boundless.
We just learned some basic scientific observation at school, and one of the summer assignments the teacher gave us was to choose a plant or small animal, observe it continuously, and record our observations.
When Yuan Bao saw her son carrying a brand-new observation record book, running to the windowsill, pulling up a small stool, and staring intently at the potted green ivy, she knew that this little guy's thoughts were definitely more than just completing his homework.
"Mom!" Xiao Zhi turned around, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. "The teacher asked us to observe plant growth! I chose the pothos! Is it the 'antenna' connecting the Crystal Forest?"
Yuan Bao couldn't help but chuckle, and went over to rub his son's head: "Well, I guess so. It's quite special."
"Then... can it understand me? Can Aunt Ariel hear me?" Ash asked cautiously, leaning closer to the leaves of the pothos plant and lowering his voice, "Hello Aunt Ariel! I'm Ash! My mom said you're in the Crystal Forest, very, very far away!"
Yuan Baoneng could clearly feel that, with Xiao Zhi's pure thoughts and calls, the source of the spiritual spring water hidden deep in the roots of the green ivy seemed to really ripple slightly, as if responding to this childlike greeting.
This surprised her somewhat. It seemed that Xiao Zhi, being her bloodline and having lived in this space nourished by the "breath of the void" for a long time, had an affinity for spatial energy far exceeding that of ordinary people.
“Green Ivy might not understand, but if Aunt Ariel happens to be watching this area, she might be able to sense a little bit,” Yuan Bao explained gently, without dampening her son’s enthusiasm.
Ash immediately felt as if he had received a royal decree and began to observe even more intently.
He not only recorded the color changes of the pothos leaves and the growth of new buds, but also seriously drew what he imagined the "crystal forest" would look like in his notebook—towering crystal trees, flowing rainbow rivers, and crookedly written next to them: "The place that Mom guards, super beautiful!" Of course, these drawings and words involving core secrets were destined not to be shared with him at school under the rules of the contract, but this did not affect his creative enthusiasm at all.
Yuan Bao looked at his son's serious expression and a thought struck him.
She decided to satisfy the little one's curiosity to a limited extent, as a special kind of parent-child interaction.
"Xiao Zhi, would you like to see how Mommy 'energizes' the pothos?" Yuan Bao asked with a smile.
"Yes! I really want to!" Xiao Zhi immediately jumped up, his eyes wide open.
Yuan Bao gestured for his son to be quiet.
She extended her right index finger, neither using the destructive "Annihilation String" nor weaving the complex "Purification String," but instead condensing an extremely gentle, pale silver spatial primordial energy, like moonlight.
This energy is not aggressive; it is purely for nourishment and communication.
She gently touched the tip of a pothos leaf with her fingertip.
hum...
An extremely faint, resonant sound, as if the leaves were singing, arose.
The pale silver energy flowed slowly into the veins of the leaf like living water, instantly turning the entire leaf a vibrant green, like polished jade, radiating a lustrous sheen.
Even more amazing is that there seem to be extremely fine silver stars flowing through the veins of the leaf, flashing by in an instant.
"Wow!" Xiao Zhi couldn't help but exclaim softly, his mouth agape as he leaned closer to look. "It's lit up! Mom is so amazing!"
“This is the life energy of the origin of space,” Yuan Bao explained softly, as if telling a fairy tale, “It can make it healthier and make it easier to connect with friends far away.”
Xiao Zhi watched intently, excitedly drawing and writing in his notebook: "Mommy's fingers are glowing, the pothos leaves are glowing! It's like magic!" He tried to reach out his little finger to touch another leaf, his face turning red, but of course nothing happened.
The little guy was a bit disappointed, but he quickly cheered up: "When I grow up, I want to learn Mom's skills too! To protect Grandma, Mom, Uncle, and Aunt!"
The childlike vows, however, carried a sincerity as pure as gold.
Yuan Bao's heart softened completely, and she smiled encouragingly, "Okay, then Xiao Zhi needs to eat well, study hard, and get strong. These are the basics!"
This summer, Xiao Zhi became Yuan Bao's little shadow.
Yuan Bao practiced some basic, inconspicuous spatial perception in the yard (such as closing his eyes to sense the trajectory of falling leaves and the movement of dust particles in the air), and Xiao Zhi followed suit, closing his little eyes, scrunching his face, and trying hard to "feel".
Occasionally, when Yuan Bao is in a good mood, he will gather a few harmless spatial light spots, which will fly around Xiao Zhi like little fireflies, making him giggle and chase the light spots all over the yard.
Yuan Baoguo and Lin Qing watched the interaction between the mother and son, and their initial shock and worry turned into acceptance and even a touch of warmth.
Yuan Baoguo secretly read many Taoist classics and medical books about "qi" and tried to apply his understanding of the theory to his sister's abilities. Although the results were minimal, his desire to understand and protect her was extremely genuine.
Lin Qing was responsible for keeping an eye on Xiao Zhi, ensuring that he wouldn't do anything that might expose the secret due to excessive excitement. At the same time, she used her gentleness to maintain the most ordinary warmth for this family that knew the shocking secret.
Yuan's mother completely accepted her daughter's "extraordinary" qualities.
She didn't understand those profound spatial laws, but she knew that her daughter was using this power to protect everyone and a beautiful place.
Her only request was: "Baby, no matter how strong you are, you must eat on time! Don't overwork yourself!" The soup she stewed seemed to have an extra layer of protective power.
Deep within the drawer, the fragments of echoing light, nourished by the warmth of the home and the spring water, gradually regained their stabilizing brightness, and the illusory image of the broken crystal wings seemed to be slowly repaired.
Occasionally, when Ash approaches the drawer and whispers kindly, "Crystal Sprite, get well soon," the halo will ripple gently, as if in silent response.
Over in Crystal Song Woods, Ariel seemed to also sense this special, childlike bond from the real world.
One morning, when Yuan Bao and Xiao Zhi were watering the pothos, the mother and son were surprised to find that on the largest pothos leaf, there was a dewdrop that was rounder than ordinary dewdrops and seemed to have a miniature nebula flowing inside!
This is clearly a small gift from Ariel across dimensions, containing a pure spatial atmosphere and greetings from the Crystal Forest.
"Mom! Look! A gem from the Crystal Forest!" Ash pointed excitedly at the dewdrop, wanting to touch it but too afraid to.
Yuan Bao smiled and guided the dewdrop to float up with his fingertips, making it slowly rotate in front of Xiao Zhi like a miniature planet, refracting the seven colors of sunlight.
"This is a gift from Aunt Ariel to the brave little observer."
Xiao Zhi was overjoyed. He kept this "gem dewdrop," which was destined not to last long and would eventually return to the origin of space, as his most precious collectible throughout the summer vacation.
This summer vacation was filled with incredible magic and heartwarming secrets for Ash.
He learned that his mother was a hero who protected two worlds, that there was a magical green ivy in the house that could connect to the Dream Forest, and that an injured crystal fairy was sleeping in the drawer and needed their protection.
This unique experience, like a seed, was quietly planted deep in his young heart.
As summer vacation drew to a close, Xiaozhi's observation logbook contained not only the normal growth changes of the pothos, but also many childlike imaginings and records about "Mom's light".
He knew these "secret" parts couldn't be shown, but he still completed the assignment with utmost seriousness.
In the "My Discoveries" section, he wrote in a crooked but extremely earnest handwriting:
I discovered:
Pothos plants love to drink water, and their leaves become very shiny.
My mother has a magical light that makes the leaves happier (like magic!).
We must protect plants; they are our friends.
When I grow up, I will protect my family and friends!
This observation report, which was destined to be somewhat "special," was carefully put away by Yuan Baozhen.
It records not only the growth of a potted plant, but also a child's perspective on the secrets of a summer vacation filled with protection, love, and wonder.
Looking at his son's carefree smiling face, Yuan Bao felt a sense of peace and strength.
She knew that with the understanding and support of her family, and with this ordinary warmth, she would have more courage and wisdom to embrace the future of the guardian.
