After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 549 A single touch brings a flush of warmth; a major shopping spree for the new home.
Hearing the commotion outside, Jiang Hanying came out of the master bathroom and saw her mistress just regaining her balance by holding onto the dressing table. "Did you trip over it?"

“Hmm,” Li Chengxiao nodded quickly, withdrew his hand from the dressing table, and turned to walk towards the door. “I’m going to the backyard to check on the stone embryo.”

Jiang Hanying watched his retreating figure walk away quickly, then turned back to face the oversized half-length mirror placed against the wall on the dressing table, and tapped it with her hand, "It reflects really clearly."

The photo perfectly captured the instantly blushing ears of the cheap owner!

But this cheap master, who appears reserved and serious on the surface but blushes easily and is surprisingly honest with his body, is kind of cute!
After glancing at the few outfits already neatly folded and hung in the closet, Jiang Hanying thought to herself that she needed to hurry up and pack up the remaining luggage from the film crew's hotel room and move it over here.

With this huge bed, this huge bathtub, and this enormous dressing table, she wouldn't want to stay in the hotel room for even a day!

Walking to the backyard, you can see the three-legged tripod standing not far ahead.

Even when standing on a rock, one of its legs is still very short.

Only when I got closer did I see that the cheap owner was still writing something down on his phone.

"What are you writing down?"

Li Chengxiao glanced at the head that was leaning over, tilted his phone screen, and said, "We're going out to shop later. Besides food and other necessities, we also need to buy some clothes for Shitai. I checked if there are any children's stores nearby, so we can buy them together."

"I also need to go!"

"Ah."

Seeing that he was still writing down what he needed to buy later, Jiang Hanying turned her gaze to the little one standing on the rock in front of her.

After observing for a moment, he couldn't help but let out a soft "hmm," "Why do I feel like this little guy has grown a bit taller?"

“Indeed,” Li Chengxiao replied while typing, “It has grown about half a centimeter taller than yesterday, and it has also gained about two pounds in weight when I hugged it just now.”

"You've grown so fast!"

"After all, it's made of stone."

"Wouldn't the clothes we buy for it have to be changed after only two days?"

"It will be faster now, but it will slow down when the first transformation period arrives."

"Transformation period?" This was the first time she had ever heard this term.

However, it's not that she knew too little; it's just that the person in front of her knew far too much.

If the cheap owner is a top student, then she's a complete underachiever!

"From birth, the first talent that a stone fetus awakens is listening—the voices of people, animals, plants, and even the sounds of nature. Once it has listened to enough sounds, it will undergo its first transformation, awakening the talent to speak. At the same time, it will no longer passively absorb the energy of heaven and earth to promote its growth, but will actively absorb and cultivate."

"So, there are many more transformation periods to come, including the second and third ones?"

"When it grows to the point where it can shelter a piece of land, that's its second transformation. However, the years are long..."

She could guess what the cheap owner was going to say even if he didn't finish.

As time goes by, if a creature grows to the point where it can protect a region, then this second transformation might take thousands of years. By then... they probably won't be able to see it.

Jiang Hanying reached out and pinched the little one's ear, bending down to ask, "Are you listening? Are you listening? Can you understand me now?"

The stone fetus, unable to break free: "..."

As soon as Jiang Hanying let go, it immediately turned around, climbed down the stone, and trotted to the pavilion on the other side.

There's a rock over there too. It's a bit small, but at least you won't get your ears pinched!

Also, that sword is really too noisy.

Even before it was born, I could hear this guy chattering away in its burrow. I really don't know how this quiet sword master raised such a noisy sword!

The little figure was blocked by the pillars of the pavilion, so Jiang Hanying shifted her gaze to the gray-robed man who was still standing motionless in the same spot.

Seeing him still wearing that tattered and dirty gray robe, standing in the clean and tidy backyard, he was practically a stain on the whole place. "Should we change him into a new one?"

Li Chengxiao glanced over, paused, and nodded. "Alright." Then he looked down at the time. "It's past two o'clock. Let's go."

This time, we only drove for a few minutes before arriving at a large shopping mall that wasn't far away.

The supermarket is on the basement level, and you can get there directly from the mall's parking lot, so naturally, the supermarket is the first place you'll go.

According to Li Chengxiao's plan, the things they needed to buy would fill almost a shopping cart.

But they forgot about Jiang Hanying, who was not part of the plan.

If I see a snack that I've tried and found delicious, I buy it.

I saw some snacks that I'd never tried before but looked pretty good, so I bought them to give them a try.

There are also many new product tasting events in the supermarket. Even if it's not convenient to take off the mask to try the food, Jiang Hanying can still ask those who have tried it. If they say the taste is pretty good, then she will definitely take a pack home to try.

When it was time to check out, the number of items in the shopping cart had far exceeded the limit of the self-checkout machine, so I had to queue up and go to the manual checkout lane.

Customers who were about to queue to pay saw three shopping carts piled high in front of them and immediately turned around and joined the queue next door.

When will these three trucks finish sweeping?!

When she saw the trunk overflowing with items, Jiang Hanying belatedly realized, "I think I bought a bit too much."

Li Chengxiao closed the trunk, which was almost impossible to close, and remained silent upon hearing this.

This isn't just a little bit, it's an absolute ton of stuff!
But we haven't finished buying yet.

It took them more than an hour just to shop at the supermarket, and then the two took the elevator straight to the third floor.

The third floor mainly sells baby and toddler products, and also has many children's entertainment projects, attracting many families. It is the busiest floor in the entire mall.

The two chose the store with the largest floor area, the most complete selection of goods, and the most customers. When the store clerk heard the notification that a customer had entered, he immediately looked over. After seeing who it was, he then glanced at Jiang Hanying's stomach.

Jiang Hanying looked down at her stomach when she was stared at. She hadn't touched anything, so why was she looking at her stomach all of a sudden?
Li Chengxiao coughed lightly, "We're here to buy clothes. We're looking for a boy who's about one meter tall and weighs about twenty kilograms. Could you please pick out a few suitable outfits?"

Upon hearing this, the shop assistant knew he had guessed wrong; the people in front of him weren't expectant parents, but a three-year-old child.

However, this couple in front of her didn't give off the feeling of having been married for several years like the ones she had seen before. Although the young lady next to the man was wearing a mask so her face couldn't be seen, she could tell from her bright and lively eyes that she was being well taken care of.

"You two can sit in the rest area over here, and I'll go and pick something out for you right away."

Jiang Hanying sat on the sofa and saw several packets of snacks on the coffee table in front of her. She wanted to try them, but when she touched the mask on her face, she silently withdrew her hand.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the toy section set up in the store for children to play and pass the time. He noticed that one of the small claw machines was still empty, so he got up and walked over.

After squatting down and watching the chubby little boy next to me play for a bit to figure out how to operate it, I also started playing with great interest.

Seeing her so smug, Li Chengxiao was speechless.

When the shop assistant returned after picking out the clothes, the rest area was empty except for that gentleman.

Following the other person's doting and smiling gaze, I saw the lady squatting in front of the claw machine in the toy area, completely engrossed in the game.

Good heavens, this made her a little embarrassed to go up and bother them!
