“What….favor?” The Ming Lun Envoy said, burying her head in the bowl and not spitting out the last word until she finished drinking everything.

“Can you help my humble self expand his Small Holding Bag?”

Wei Xiao Bei looked at the Ming Lun Envoy with hopeful eyes, worried that she would say that it could not be done.

The Ming Lun Envoy stretched out her hand. Wei Xiao Bei felt an empty space appear in front of his chest as the Small Holding Bag and stone card both flew toward the Ming Lun Envoy’s small tender hands.

The Ming Lun Envoy looked at the Small Holding Bag and expressed her disdain, “How disappointing.”

After saying this, the Ming Lun Envoy looked at Wei Xiao Bei, “This Envoy can help you, but it is impossible for me to do it for this quality of food.”

In truth, Wei Xiao Bei did all this hoping that the Ming Lun Envoy would help him for just the rare quality congee. He did not care if he wasted a lot of the rare quality congee, as being able to save the immortal quality congee was already a profit.

However, the Ming Lun Envoy’s words immediately disappointed Wei Xiao Bei. The other party also knew the worth of the congee. She liked the congee, but she had her own principles and would not sell things for cheap.

Wei Xiao Bei once again took out a portion of rare quality congee. Although the Ming Lun Envoy’s eyes were glittering, she still shook her head.

In the end, Wei Xiao Bei had no choice but to take out one portion of immortal quality congee. The Ming Lun Envoy did not immediately take it, instead sticking two fingers into it and saying, “Give me five of this congee! Then I will help you!”

Wei Xiao Bei noticed a problem. The Ming Lun Envoy appeared to be slightly mentally deficient. Her communication skills were defected, sticking out two fingers while asking for five portions. What did she actually want?

In truth, if the other party was not stronger than him, then he would have already begun to go crazy and ridicule her.

The local god was too amazing in that he had accurately predicted that the Ming Lun Envoy wanted five bowls of immortal quality congee to help him..

After taking out the remaining 4 portions, the Ming Lun Envoy waved her right hand, causing a golden ring to float above the congee and make them disappear.

It was very clear that the Ming Lun Envoy did not instantly eat them, indicating that there was another use for them.

After taking them, the Ming Lun Envoy said, “Wait for me here,” and became a golden light that moved toward the white tower.

Did she leave?

Wei Xiao Bei looked at the golden light and felt his heart beat like a drum.

Although Wei Xiao Bei inherently believed that the Ming Lun Envoy would not steal his Small Holding Bag, his heart could not stop considering this possibility.

If the Ming Lun Envoy had truly taken away the Small Holding Bag, then his losses would be huge. Afterward, his life of convenience would have been taken away from him.

It was like a modern person suddenly losing their phone or computer. It was easy to imagine how painful that was, the event giving one a sudden impulse to just jump off a building.

Luckily, whether it was because the Ming Lun Envoy looked down on the contents of his Small Holding Bag, or because she wanted to protect the reputation of Bai Ta Hills, she slowly arrived while Wei Xiao Bei was thinking about the Ming Lun Envoy running away with his Small Holding Bag. Light was emitted from the white tower and in the next moment, it appeared in front of Wei Xiao Bei, revealing the Ming Lun Envoy.

What made his eyes glimmer was that the bag the Ming Lun Envoy was holding was his Small Holding Bag.

Eh? It appears to have undergone some changes. A white tower is now imprinted on it.

“Take it. Your bag was so inferior that this envoy accidentally broke it. I’ll compensate you with this.”

The Ming Lun Envoy easily threw the bag, making Wei Xiao Bei catch it in a fluster.

However, before Wei Xiao Bei attempted to open the bag and take a look, the Ming Lun Envoy pestered him claiming she was hungry. Luckily she did not ask for immortal or rare quality goods anymore, happy to just eat normal roast fish.

In truth, Wei Xiao Bei had never suffered through something like this. He wanted to check the inside of the bag, believing that if his bag was destroyed that the things inside might also be destroyed, making his decision difficult. In the end, he decided to focus on roasting the fish.

When he had finally finished cooking, he used [Status Appraisal] on it.

Name: Normal Bai Ta Storage Bag (High Quality)

Description: This bag is used by the followers of Bai Ta Hills. As the name implies, it is the simplest storage bag in Bai Ta Hill.

Effect 1: Tiny Space. Inside there is an independent space the size of 10 cubic meters. Intelligent creatures and forbidden real-world items cannot be placed inside.

Effect 2: Blood Binding. After blood binding, only the owner can use this bag. The owner only needs a single thought to bring it out and put in objects. Once the owner dies, the binding disappears.

Effect 3: Shape Change. This object can disguise itself as an object that the owner designates, but the size of the object must not exceed more than 30% of the storage bag. After being disguised, the normal storage bag will temporarily lose its original function.

……

From the name alone, Wei Xiao Bei understood that the Bai Ta Hills was very powerful.

Just the most normal storage bag has ten times the space of his Small Holding Bag.

This was ten cubic meters!

How many objects could it be filled with?

Blood Binding? Bind it!

Wei Xiao Bei bit his finger, causing blood to drip out, which he smeared on the bag.

Following this, the white tower mark on the bag faintly reddened.

As for the third effect, Wei Xiao Bei understood how to use it after binding the bag to himself.

Wei Xiao Bei thought for a while and the bag eventually turned into a watch. It looked pretty normal and was quite close to a true imitation.

Low-key! This thing is quite low-key.

Wei Xiao Bei did not want any trouble occurring as a result of the storage bag.

Naturally, because the storage bag did not have any of the functions of a watch, the watch it turned into could not tell the time, nor could any of its watch hands move.

Everything was just an illusion.

Finally, Wei Xiao Bei inspected the contents of the bag. His extreme nervousness finally grounded itself.

Inside the bag, whether it was his Divine White Mist Great Spear, Hard Metal Jian, or the roasted meat, water, salt, Fortune Tea, and other things, they were all inside.

The Ming Lun Envoy did not try to defraud him.

Wei Xiao Bei’s was filled with satisfaction. It could be said that not losing his things and regaining them after lending them moved him, causing him to hug the Ming Lun Envoy whose face was covered in pieces of fish.

Luckily, the Ming Lun Envoy did not understand what happened until Wei Xiao Bei let her go. She only urged Wei Xiao Bei to cook more fish.

Wei Xiao Bei went all out and roasted fish for the Ming Lun Envoy until she could not eat anymore.

Wei Xiao Bei finally let out a breath as he looked at the fishbone covered ground and the golden light moving toward Bai Ta Hills.

In the end, he considered himself to have profited.

The so-called Small Holding Bag that had been destroyed was inside the storage bag.

Wei Xiao Bei tried using it. Although it was destroyed to the point that the binding was lost and he could not bind it anymore, there was still a space of around 0.8 cubic meters inside, meaning to say that it had lost 0.19 cubic meters.

However, this was not a problem as it could still be used!

At this time, his excitement had finally died down, and he decided to return. He also felt quite tired and did not continue pressing on as he immediately laid down onto the ground and closed his eyes while thinking of returning. His body slowly became transparent and finally vanished into thin air.

……

When Wei Xiao Bei woke up, he was able to smell the fragrant scent of breakfast before he had even opened his eyes.

“Master seems to have woken up.”

“Master, Master.”

Wei Xiao Bei’s arms were being grabbed and shaken by soft small hands.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhu Xin Yi with tears in her eyes.

Soon after, Wei Xiao Bei enjoyed his disciples servicing him.

They brought congee, fried dumplings, chili oil salted eggs, and pickled vegetables in front of him.

The smell tickled his nose, causing him to salivate.

Naturally, as a veteran chef, Wei Xiao Bei gave Zhu Xin Yi some pointers, especially toward boiling the congee as he was now on a different level.

This made Zhu Xin Yi’s eyes once again fill with admiration toward her master.

After eating breakfast, Wei Xiao Bie went to buy some medicinal bottles. After fiddling with things in his room, he called Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun over.

“Xin Yi, your birthday should be close. Treat this as your advanced gift.”

Wei Xiao Bei smiled as he passed a small bag to Zhu Xin Yi.

Zhu Xin Yi took the bag and became flabbergasted.

Zhu Xin Yi knew this was her master’s favorite Small Holding Bag. Although she had never used it, she knew that there was another space inside it that could store objects. She knew it was a precious treasure.

Previously, Zhu Xin Yi had thought of how great it would be to have such a treasure. Let alone food and water, she could put some private objects inside and carrying it would be so much better than carrying a large bag.

However, her master suddenly passed it on to her, saying that it was her birthday gift. This had frightened Zhu Xin Yi, “Master, I can’t accept this. It’s too valuable.”

“What do you mean valuable? If your master tells you to take it, you take it. Your master already has a new one.”

Wei Xiao Bei revealed the watch on his left hand and smiled, “This Small Holding Bag has some problems now and could not be bound. Could it be that you dislike it?”

Wei Xiao Bei’s words gave Zhu Xin Yi no choice but to accept it. However, she was clearly happy as she hugged Wei Xiao Bei, “Master, this is the best birthday gift I have ever received.”
