Chapter 9

The small box, again the small box. When Da Sheng returns, I must find a Taoist priest to exorcise the evil from that small box, Yan Chi thought to himself.

At that moment, Na Muqi came over as well. "I just heard the men below saying that the General was holding the small box and talking to himself. Is this true?"

Yan Yang nodded. "Indeed, I witnessed it with my own eyes."

Na Muqi pondered for a moment. It seems the General had just said that the small box could allow communication with someone a thousand miles away. Could this be true?

Based on the current situation, there were two possibilities.

One was that the General's words were not false, and he was communicating with someone through the small box.

The other was that the General had been possessed!

Compared to the second possibility, he felt the first was more acceptable.

Yan Chi patted Na Muqi. "Na Muqi, do you know what's wrong with the General? Do we need to call a military doctor to examine him?"

"Where did that small box come from?" They should first investigate the origin of the small box.

Yan Chi said, "I know this. It was acquired as a spoil of war, wasn't it?"

A spoil of war? Perhaps someone had intentionally mixed it in. This needs further observation.

"You two should keep a close watch on the General lately. If you notice anything unusual, remember to report it to me."

Yan Chi and Yan Yang saw the serious expression on Na Muqi's face and hastily nodded.

On the other side, Feng Qingyi hung up the phone and found that a line of small text had suddenly appeared on her chat interface with Qin Yuchuan.

Intimacy has reached one hundred. Unlocked item transfer function. Click to learn more details.

Feng Qingyi tapped on it, and an introduction interface popped up.

She truly hadn't expected that it would be possible to transfer items across space. The usage was also quite simple.

Click on the newly appeared scan button, scan the item you need to transfer, and send it.

Although she didn't know how this intimacy was calculated, she couldn't help but admit that this function was quite intriguing. Why not give it a try?

Feng Qingyi looked around at the items in her room but found nothing suitable to send him. Perhaps she should check her father's study.

Entering the study, Feng Qingyi glanced at the various objects placed on her father's bookshelf. Those were all her father's treasures, so she should choose something else.

Looking in front of the bookshelf, Feng Qingyi noticed a copy of 'The Art of War by Sun Tzu'.

This girl used to be constantly late for class during her senior year of high school and wouldn't do her homework unless forced. How did she suddenly become so motivated? Could she be plotting something?

Feng Qingyi helped herself to the last piece of beef on the plate. "When are Mom and Dad coming back?"

"They should be in Venice now. Even if they're coming back, it won't be until the end of the month."

The two siblings were used to their parents' frequent getaways.

Every year, their parents would take some time off to travel alone, leaving Feng Qingyi and Feng Qingci behind without a second thought.

Their father, Feng Zhiyuan, was the CEO of Zhiyuan Group, a typical overbearing CEO. However, whether he could actually be overbearing was yet to be seen.

Their mother, Nan Yin, was once a famous female singer across the country but retired at the peak of her career to marry Feng Zhiyuan. Shortly after their marriage, she became pregnant with twins.

Their love story was once doubted by many, but time proved that it was all worth it. Even in their middle age, their love remained as strong as ever.

Under the parenting of these self-indulgent and irresponsible parents, Feng Qingci and Feng Qingyi learned to be independent from a very young age.

Thinking back, Feng Qingyi still felt a twinge of sadness. It was not easy for her and Feng Qingci to grow up like this.

"I'm done eating. I'll head back to my room first. And you should stop playing games all day."

Feng Qingyi put her bowl in the kitchen and returned to her room.

Her spacious and bright room had an L-shaped layout, clearly separating the living and study areas, with an attached private bathroom.

Aside from the deep blue curtains, the rest of the room was decorated in light tones, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Feng Qingyi sat on the lazy sofa near the entrance and checked the current points she had in the mysterious store.

At the moment, she had 170 points, which she could use to select from the remaining items.

The four remaining items in the first row were Strength Enhancement Pills, Beauty Elixir, Beginner's Guqin Course, and Beginner's Martial Arts Course.

After some thought, Feng Qingyi decided that the Beauty Elixir would likely have little effect on her, as she was quite confident in her appearance. So she could leave the Beauty Elixir for last.

Instead, she might as well buy the Strength Enhancement Pills first, and then purchase the Beginner's Martial Arts Course if she had enough points later.

Feng Qingyi successfully used her points to purchase the Body Strengthening Pills and directly swallowed them.

Compared to the effects of the Intellect Enhancing Pills, after taking the Body Strengthening Pills, she did not feel any special sensations in her body.

She thought that it probably needed time for the effects to take hold. Feng Qingyi went to sleep with this in mind.

However, hours passed and Feng Qingyi still did not notice any changes in her body, so she went to bed with a peaceful mind.

That night, in the stillness of silence, unseen by anyone, a strange blue light seeped into Feng Qingyi's body, gradually changing her constitution.
