Hearing Lu Zhishen's words, Siming snorted and said, "Humph! You better keep your promise. Otherwise, both of us will have to pay with our lives."
"Okay, okay. You are so naggy!"
As their voices faded away, Lu Jueyu still couldn't recover from the shock. She didn't understand everything they were talking about, but she was certain the younger voice belonged to her father.
In the next moment, she saw bluish dust appear out of nowhere and drift down onto the soil. The dust glistened in the sunlight, and the moment it touched the earth, it was absorbed.
The soil slowly darkened in color, turning the space's black soil into spiritual soil. While she was still stunned by what she saw, a faint voice echoed inside her mind.
'My baby girl, this is Dad's gift for you. Plant something delicious for yourself and my unborn grandchildren. If you need anything, just go to the mountains and get it. Dad will always protect you and your family.'
"Dad—"
Before she could say anything, the voice disappeared, leaving only the sound of insects and the gentle breeze.
Now, she finally understood why the 500-year-old ginseng she had sown in the mountain had turned into an 800-year-old ginseng. It was all because of her dad.
Judging from the brief conversation she overheard, it seemed that her father in her previous life was immortal and held a high position. Otherwise, how could he have interfered with the fate of this world?
Looking at the plot of land in front of her, memories of her childhood from her past life resurfaced. Whether her dad was a mortal or an immortal, he was still the same—reckless but brave, rebellious yet righteous.
If not for his courage and sense of justice, he wouldn't have died saving a boy from a car accident, leaving her and her mother behind when she was just five years old.
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but wonder how that boy's life had turned out. She hoped he had grown up happy and safe, living a smooth life that would make her father's sacrifice worthwhile.
She took a deep breath and let out a long sigh. She was living in this world now, and she had to move forward. Dwelling on the past wouldn't help her.
Once she had calmed down, she gently rubbed her flat belly and said, "Babies, your grandpa sent you such a wonderful gift. Mom will definitely plant something delicious for us."
After saying that, she went to check on the other greenhouses and noticed that all the soil had changed.
Her dad had promised Siming he wouldn't intervene again… and then went ahead and did the opposite in the blink of an eye. She wondered what that old man would do if he found out.
Recalling their bickering, she could easily imagine her dad brushing off Siming's scolding again—just like he always did when her mother nagged at him.
It took her more than an hour to water all the greenhouses with the lake water from her space. Once she was done, she gathered the dirty laundry and used the washing machine in her space to clean them.
