Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 274: Chapter 271: Take Them All In

Back to the villa, the first thing Huo Sining did was take out everything stored in the safe in the basement.

On reviewing, the amount of stuff she had collected over the past few months was not inconsiderable.

Several huge Eastern Pearls, a pair of Mutton-fat Jade Bracelets, an Ebony Box, and a strange Bagua Chart, plus a batch of top-grade Jadeite materials she gambled on in Pingzhou and that Starlight Sapphire, all these items together were of incalculable value.

Huo Sining had been worried about the safety of the villa and had installed a safe, but now she had a storage ring, which was naturally a safer place for these valuables.

So Huo Sining gathered all these items into the storage ring, and after thinking about it, she turned back upstairs and took another box into it as well.

That box contained the items given to her by Huang Chengyi, including her grandmother and father’s keepsakes, her father’s pension, passbooks, as well as property deeds to several estates and shops in the Imperial Capital left by her grandmother years earlier.

Since these items came into Huo Sining’s hands, she had not looked them over carefully, keeping them stored in that wooden box.

In a little over a month, it would be the Spring Festival, and according to Master Huang’s arrangements, this year she planned to accompany the old man to the Huang Family in the Imperial Capital for the New Year, to formally acknowledge her lineage.

For that reason, Huo Sining intended to properly manage the properties in the Imperial Capital after her arrival, deciding then whether to rent out the houses and shops or to use them herself.

With everything stored in the space, the heavy stone that had been hanging in Huo Sining’s heart finally fell, and she was about to leave when Heitan, the little guy, suddenly rushed out from the other side, standing up and throwing himself into her arms to act coquettishly and cutely.

This fellow grew fast, having grown visibly in just a month, and his size was now about that of a normal adult dog.

Huo Sining had never seen a Tibetan Mastiff from other houses, so she didn’t know what they were supposed to look like, but the Mastiff that she had picked up was definitely among the elite.

Bathed in Spiritual Energy, the bloodline of this Mastiff had become almost indistinguishable from that of a purebred Tibetan Mastiff. Plus, with Huang Chengyi having plenty of free time at home, he loved to play with the Mastiff. The old man had patience in spades, and having come down from the military, his training of the Mastiff was strict.

In just one month’s time, this Mastiff had become quite extraordinary, standing in the yard silent yet exuding a domineering presence like the fiercest warrior, fierce and powerful.

Heitan’s coat was originally a brownish-yellow, but since grooming with Spiritual Energy, his fur had become incredibly soft, always shining with a gentle luster.

Especially after shedding for the first time, the newly grown fur had turned golden; though not exceptionally so, it gleamed in the sunlight, emitting a glowing golden halo.

Not only did the Mastiff look handsome, but his intelligence seemed to develop faster than other dogs, his smartness not inferior to that of a German Shepherd. He learned things very quickly, which even Master Huang, used to the highly obedient German Shepherds of the military, could not stop praising. He took quite a liking to this Tibetan Mastiff.

But now, the dog was pawing at Huo Sining’s pants, standing upright and looking at her with longing eyes, where was the Mount Tai-like aura that a Tibetan Mastiff was supposed to have?

Huo Sining, covered in imaginary sweatdrops, naturally understood what the guy rushing over and staring at her so intently meant.

The story had to start from another time Huo Sining was feeding fish in the living room. On that occasion, she was feeding several koi in the yard, and Heitan, the Mastiff, was playing nearby. On a whim, Huo Sining tossed the remaining fish cakes she had in her hand.

The fish cake was infused with a tiny amount of Spiritual Energy. Seeing the fish cake fly out, the Mastiff Heitan rushed out to fetch it back, but to its surprise, upon smelling the fish cake, the Mastiff’s demeanor changed instantly, and it swallowed the fish cake in one bite.

Huo Sining was immediately at a loss, but Heitan had gotten a taste of the fish cake and was very fond of it because it was rich in Spiritual Energy. So, every time Huo Sining fed the koi, Heitan would happily trot over to scrounge for food.

It was quite speechless for Huo Sining that a purebred Tibetan Mastiff, instead of eating raw meat, was eyeing the koi’s fish cakes.

Now was the time to feed the koi, and without a doubt, Heitan was thinking of competing with the fish for food again. Huo Sining was helpless and turned around to get the fish cakes from the kitchen, but suddenly an idea crossed her mind.

She paused mid-step, looked down at Heitan with a sly grin, and gave a mischievous smile.

Seeing that fox-like smile on Huo Sining’s face, Heitan involuntarily shuddered, its body trembling uncontrollably.

Huo Sining had tried before to control her body with her mind to enter Space by pinching her right index finger with her left hand, but this method seemed unfeasible as she couldn’t enter the Space herself.

Seeing the tail-wagging, joyfully bounding Mastiff now, however, Huo Sining suddenly thought of another question.

Although she couldn’t enter Space herself, if the storage ring could hold ordinary items, could it also store living creatures?

The more she thought about it, the more Huo Sining felt this was an important issue. She had only used the Storage Space as a regular warehouse before and had not considered this aspect. If the ring could store living things, the usefulness of the Storage Space would be significantly expanded for her.

However, this was merely Huo Sining’s speculation. No one could know whether the storage ring could indeed store living creatures without verification.

The first thought that came to her mind was to try putting Heitan into it to test, but upon further consideration, she dismissed the idea.

She couldn’t be certain what would happen to the Tibetan Mastiff if it was put into the space, whether there would be air for it to breathe, and if it would die upon entering the space, she would undoubtedly regret it greatly.

This creature had been with her for so long, and their emotional bond was very deep. Moreover, as a valuable Tibetan Mastiff, it was priceless and sought after; she couldn’t use it as a guinea pig.

Huo Sining scanned the kitchen and living room with her eyes, finally letting her gaze rest on the aquarium in the living room, where around a dozen ornamental fish were swimming freely.

A thought struck Huo Sining, and she suddenly had an idea. She found a small-sized transparent glass aquarium, scooped a fish out from the large aquarium, then went back to her room and closed the door. With her intention set, she eagerly extended her left hand.

The moment Huo Sining’s right hand touched her left index finger, she felt a flash before her eyes, and the transparent aquarium, along with the lively ornamental fish inside, had vanished.

It worked! Huo Sining felt a thrill of excitement and looked eagerly toward the Space.
