Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Wake Up and Be a Happy Mother!
The leaf seemed equipped with a tiny radar, standing erect at the edge of the quilt and scanning the surroundings.
Soon, a vine as long as a wrist and another leaf extended out.
Then, a fist-sized Cannibal Flower bristling with sharp teeth emerged from the quilt.
It lay next to Jiang Yan’s bed, its shiny black eyes darting around, glanced at the environment and the still-sleeping Jiang Yan, extended a vine to pull her quilt up, covering her exposed back, and then “biu” lightly hopped off the bed.
There was no night in the Space, with bright sunshine 24 hours a day, so when Jiang Yan slept, not only would she close the curtains, but the door as well.
The Cannibal Flower peeked through the crack in the door and “slish” transformed into a paper-thin shape to slip out.
Gazing at the spacious and bright living room outside, the Cannibal Flower became excited in a second.
The two leaves on the slender Vine couldn’t help but dance uncontrollably.
“Hee hee hee~”
It unconsciously stuck out its crimson tongue, licking its uneven sharp teeth, then closed its eyes and sniffed the air in all directions.
Then, its head stopped in a certain direction.
After curling its snaggleteeth into a grim smile, the hungry Cannibal Flower “suddenly” opened its eyes.
A glint in its eye, the two leaves bent downward to form legs, and “biu” “biu” “biu” it pranced on its “tiptoes” towards a set of exquisitely carved golden nanmu cabinets in the corner of the living room.
After stopping in front of the cabinet, it turned its head to cautiously glance towards the bedroom, ensuring the person inside had not awakened, and then extended a leaf to wrap around the drawer handle.
There was only Jiang Yan inside the Space, so there was no need to lock up valuable items.
The cabinet drawer was slowly opened.
A stack of various-sized, high-end jewelry boxes came into view.
The Vine stretched forward, its leaf gently and deftly unwrapping each box.
“Clack”
“Clack”
“Clack”
‘…’
Accompanied by these sounds, the boxes were opened one by one.
Looking at the neatly arranged gold necklaces, jade bracelets, and other items inside, the Cannibal Flower could not help but “Hee hee hee!” cry out excitedly.
It extended its tongue and “slish” rolled a 100-gram Pure Gold Bar from the first box into its mouth.
Then, gold bracelets, gold earrings, gold chains, jade rings, pearl necklaces, diamond studs…
One by one, with a crisp crunch.
The Cannibal Flower ate satisfactorily, savoring each bite.
Meanwhile, outside the Apple Cabin, changes began to happen slowly.
The gold and silver jewelry inside the cabinet was quickly devoured by the Cannibal Flower.
After standing still and letting out a satisfied burp, it extended a leaf, closed all the jewelry boxes neatly, and placed them by the cabinet door, then closed the cabinet door.
Next, it returned to the bedroom in the same way it came out, “slish” slipping back in.
However, it didn’t jump back onto the bed but instead lay down on a white woolen blanket spread next to Jiang Yan’s bed.
The slender Vine curled up into a ball, cushioning its large head, and its two leaves just covered itself.
The “well-fed” Cannibal Flower gradually drifted into dreamland.

The next day.
When Jiang Yan woke up, it was just eight o’clock.
It was the time she had set for her bedroom curtains to open automatically.
Some sun fell on the bed, and as usual, she sat up, rubbed her sleepy eyes on the bed, and then, as always, glanced outside the window.
It was a very casual glance, but it shocked her completely.
In front of the black soil, there seemed to be an additional stream?!!
But the stream didn’t seem to entirely exist, looking more like a shadowy image.
Jiang Yan was extremely excited, jumping straight out of bed to go check it out.
“Plop ji!” Her feet felt like they stepped on something soft.
The Cannibal Flower whose vine was trodden on by Jiang Yan’s right foot looked up at her pitifully with a grimace: “Hee hee hee!”
Jiang Yan: “????” What the hell is that noise!!!
Looking down, she couldn’t help but gasp in shock, her body bouncing a meter away.
Wasn’t this her own Cannibal Flower that had been asleep for a long time?
Only it shrunk a lot in size.
But this appearance was a bit more shocking than delightful.
The Cannibal Flower didn’t know what she was thinking, batting its eyelids, its two leaves forming legs and “patter patter” ran over, rubbing against her feet, then “Hee hee hee!” it cried out.
Jiang Yan seemed to understand what it was saying, it just seemed to shout, “Mommy~”
“Mommy??!!” Jiang Yan was dumbfounded.
Was she hallucinating?
This was too absurd!
Cannibal Flower: “Hee hee hee…” Mommy, baby hungry…
Jiang Yan couldn’t help but pinch the bridge of her nose: Not a hallucination!
But, could we change the nickname?
Also, whose baby looks like this?
Seeing no reaction from her, the Cannibal Flower rubbed its head against her leg again:
“Hee hee hee…” Mommy, baby hungry…
Ah, well.
Her baby looked like this. @@novelbin@@
Great, the unmarried and unbabied singleton herself.
Waking up overnight, a mother she became!
Jiang Yan sighed with a hand on her forehead.
Let it be.
Her golden finger, she had to spoil it.
Besides, although the Cannibal Flower looked ugly and fierce, it was cute…
Thinking this, Jiang Yan crouched down, facing the Cannibal Flower with its grimacing teeth: “What would you like to eat?”
Hopefully, it didn’t reply with human flesh…
“Hee hee hee!” Mommy, that thing, do we have more?
The Cannibal Flower said, one of its leaves cautiously pointing in the direction of the living room.
Jiang Yan walked over, opened the door, and caught a glimpse of piles of jewelry boxes on the floor in the corner of the living room.
“This…” her brows furrowed slightly, then immediately asked, “You want to eat gold and silver jewelry?”
The Cannibal Flower nodded frantically.
“…”
Great, she was stunned again.
But this answer was much better than “human.”
After all, what she lacked the least was gold and silver jewelry.
This was what her mother had left her, worth tens of millions.
After retrieving them from the vault, she had directly placed them in the living room.
And the large stash she had purchased from the jewelry company’s factory had been tossed into the “Inventory Area” of the Space.
Jiang Yan stood up and walked over to the jewelry boxes.
The Cannibal Flower followed with a patter.
Looking at the empty boxes, Jiang Yan seemed to understand something.
She picked up an empty box and asked, “Did you eat all of these?”
The Cannibal Flower nodded innocently.
“…” Jiang Yan felt her blood pressure surge.
Great, her mother’s small remembrance, gone.
Just like that, tens of millions chomped down in a meal!
Let it be.
Let it be.
It was still the same thing she had said before: her golden finger, she must spoil it.
And without it, she could never have escaped the clutches of the demon, Song Deming.
If it’s been eaten then so be it.
Jiang Yan silently prepared herself mentally, and with a thought pulled out a stack of hundred-gram Pure Gold Bars from the “Inventory Area.”
Upon seeing this, the Cannibal Flower’s eyes shone, nearly jumping with joy.
“Hee hee hee!” Skah skah! Mommy, can I eat all of this?!
Jiang Yan nodded as if a doting mother.
Soon, one by one, gold bars, like Snickers bars, were rolled up by the Cannibal Flower’s leaves and stuffed into its mouth.
Listening to the “crunch crunch” of the chewing, Jiang Yan was somewhat amused yet confused, feeling as if she had raised a gold-devouring creature.
But she was soon stunned by the changes happening to the Cannibal Flower.
As it devoured more and more gold bars, it started to emit bit by bit glimmers of golden light.
These glimmers, like fireflies, drifted bit by bit towards the Apple Cabin, gathering above the ephemeral stream.
What do you think?
