Troubled, Cheng Xiao Xiao could say nothing except, “Shi mu, let me think about this some more, please? Give me some time to make a decision . Then, no matter what my decision is, I will give you an answer . ”
“Alright, Xiao Xiao . No matter what your decision is, we will be supportive . Don’t worry, as long as you are safe!” said Rong Jingshi tenderly .
“Thank you, shi mu . ”
“Silly child . You are going to become my daughter-in-law and a precious daughter of mine . We are family, no need to thank me, okay?”

Rong Jingshi padded her gently on her hand and said, “Xiao Xiao, your master and I might be curious, but we wouldn’t pressure you to do anything against your will . After all, we are not even 100-year-old and have at least 300 more years to live . Unlikely the two old monsters outside, they only have a few dozens of years left . So please forgive them for being persistent about finding out the truth . ”
“I understand, shi mu . ”
How could she not . She had already met up with the dean, Grandmaster Wudao, and Nun Saochen . They have all expressed the same thoughts; they merely had no excuses to stay at the Cheng’s extensively .
The two old monsters, on the other hand, didn’t care about anything else . They walked around like the Cheng’s was their own house and had no shame about just staying there . They’d ask Cheng Xiao Xiao about her secret every chance they got .

After talking to her shi mu, Cheng Xiao Xiao returned to her dimension . Looking at the crystal-fruit tree that has yet to ripen, Cheng Xiao Xiao’s brows furrowed into a straight line .
“Young Mistress, I don’t think you will be able to keep the dimension a secret for much longer . Even if we could dodge it this time, there will be a next . Just look at the two old monsters, obviously they intend to find out about your secret or die trying . It’d not be easy to get rid of them . ”
Little Yuteng sat on the tree, in a carefree manner .
Cheng Xiao Xiao picked her up and flicked her on her forehead with her finger, “I know you will be able to figure something out . ”
“Ouch!” said little Yuteng as she rubbed her forehead . She pouted her little lips and said, “Youg Mistress, why did you flick me again?”

Little Yuteng had a firm grasp on everyone . With her current ability, she could even handle the old monsters outside or Old Man Ying with room to spare . The only one she was helpless in front of was her young mistress .
Whenever Cheng Xiao Xiao wanted to teach her a lesson, little Yuteng would not be able to avoid it .
Cheng Xiao Xiao ignored her compliant, leaned against the crystal-fruit tree, closed her eyes and said, “Now that we can form different types of sacred contracts, it’s not a big deal to let them all inside . My worry is that there are so many of them; I am not sure what kind of problems that would cause . ”
“You are right, Young Mistress . They probably don’t have any malicious intent . It’s more of a concern that as more and more people find out, some of them will have malicious intents . More importantly, we have so many precious items in our dimension, I am not sure everybody will be able to restrain themselves . ”
“……”
Cheng Xiao Xiao felt silent and did not comment any further . She had been considering about this whole issue for a while now . There were so many possibilities that needed to be factored into the consideration, which was why she had been stalling the two old men and still hasn’t given them a straightforward answer .
But, was it really possible to continue to ignore this problem?
No, there needed to be a solution . Question was: what should this solution be?
After a long while, Cheng Xiao Xiao suddenly opened her eyes and a bright beam illuminated from them . It was a beam of wisdom . Slowly, a smile appeared on Cheng Xiao Xiao and her eyelashes shuddered . She asked gently, little Yuteng, if our dimension continued to level up, say when it reached level 80, or even 100, I trust that our control over it will also increase by several folds?
