"Really?"
Qi Manman's big eyes widened while her little face was full of joy.
Gold Star Taibai nodded and, from his wide sleeves, fished out and produced a small black stone the size of a fingernail.
Qi Manman looked at the little stone, tilted her head, blinked her eyes, and suspiciously asked, "Is this the space?"
"Yes, inside there's space and also a Spiritual Spring."
Gold Star Taibai chuckled, looking just like a strange old man trying to lead little children astray.
Qi Manman still couldn't believe it, poking the stone with her chubby fingers, "You're not lying to me, are you?"
"How could I lie to you? Take it quickly! Go back and give it to your mother; she knows what to do with it."
Gold Star Taibai placed the little stone in Qi Manman's palm, let her clasp it, then waved his horsetail whisk: "Go back now! If you stay too long, your family will worry."
