Li Hongying ran confidently to Zhuang Feifei. Zhuang Feifei used her hands to support herself and tried to back away, her eyes filled with fear. But Li Hongying would not let her go just because she was afraid. Her goal was the space, and in order to obtain the space and the supplies inside, she ruthlessly reached out her claws to Zhuang Feifei.

"Zhuang Zhiqing, you can't escape now!"

"No, Li Hongying, don't come any closer."

As Li Hongying was about to approach, Zhuang Feifei's heart nearly leaped out of her throat. Finally, just as Zhuang Feifei's hand reached out in front of her, a dark glint flashed in her eyes.

Before Li Hongying could even touch her, Zhuang Feifei suddenly vanished from her sight. Li Hongying stared at the empty ground; Zhuang Feifei, a perfectly healthy person, had simply disappeared without a trace.

Li Hongying was initially surprised, as it was the first time she had ever witnessed such a scene. She was shocked for two or three seconds before she came to her senses. She quickly looked behind her and then checked her surroundings, but there was no trace of Zhuang Feifei at all.

It was both incredibly magical and strangely eerie.

This must be a situation that only occurs with the owner of a space.

Ah, the reason Zhuang Feifei was able to disappear into thin air must be because she went into a spatial dimension.

Interestingly, the resources in the space are very tempting, and the functions of the space are also very attractive to her. Her desire to obtain the space has undoubtedly become even stronger.

But she couldn't find Zhuang Feifei, and after spinning around in circles for a while, she didn't know what to do.

Zhuang Feifei was hiding in the space and wouldn't come out, and she couldn't drag her out, so she stomped her foot in frustration.

After hiding in her space, Zhuang Feifei tried to calm her breathing. She almost fell into Li Hongying's hands. Since Li Hongying was after her space anyway, she didn't need to hide it from her anymore.

She can see what's happening outside while sitting in her space, because her space only has storage functions and cannot be driven around, nor does it have any special teleportation capabilities.

She can only sit quietly in the space now, waiting for Li Hongying to leave before she leaves herself.

Li Hongying searched aimlessly for a while but still couldn't find a trace of Zhuang Feifei. It seemed that she couldn't deal with Zhuang Feifei in a secluded place. Next time, she would definitely find a secluded place with many people. Zhuang Feifei would be mindful of others and wouldn't dare to use her spatial abilities. Even if she was pointed at and gossiped about, she would still get Zhuang Feifei's last drop of blood.

She turned around and prepared to go home along the route she had come from. After walking out of the alley for a while, Zhuang Feifei made sure there was no one else around before she dared to come out of the space.

She was afraid of running into Li Hongying again, so she prepared to run home.

She cautiously walked towards the alley entrance, carefully watching to see if Li Hongying was waiting outside.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stuck her head out a little, a wooden stick came crashing down on her head. Luckily, she dodged quickly, and the stick missed her head and hit her shoulder. Terrified, she ignored the pain in her shoulder and quickly retreated back into the alley and disappeared into the space again.

The person who hit her with the wooden stick just now was Li Hongying.

Li Hongying didn't rush home. Instead, she waited quietly outside for Zhuang Feifei, planning to ambush her, knock her unconscious, and then let her do as she pleased.

But it still fell short by a little bit.

She returned to the alley, which was still quiet. Zhuang Feifei went back into her spatial dimension.

Zhuang Feifei has a spatial dimension that she can enter to hide at any time, so it's not a good idea for her to keep at it with Zhuang Feifei like this.

Just as she turned to leave, someone suddenly appeared behind her. Then, there was a loud thud on her head. Something hard had hit her head hard, and she immediately felt dizzy and unsteady.

Just as she was about to collapse, she turned around with difficulty and glanced behind her. At that moment, Zhuang Feifei was holding a bloodstained stone in her hand, staring at her with a ferocious expression.

Zhuang Feifei watched as Li Hongying developed a gash on her head, blood gushing out, before collapsing to the ground.

"Li Hongying, it's all your fault for being too ambitious. If you hadn't provoked me first, I wouldn't have smashed you. You forced me into this, so you got what you deserved!"

Li Hongying's lips trembled a few times, unable to speak. Her eyes were wide open, the whites of her eyes rolling back, as if she were about to breathe her last.

Seeing her lying miserably in a pool of blood, with blood flowing continuously from the wound on her head, as if she could die at any moment, Zhuang Feifei dropped the stone and ran away.

Before leaving the alley, she made sure to check herself to make sure she wasn't stained with Li Hongying's blood before she walked out.

Zhuang Feifei ran all the way to her door, only to run into Luo Jingyan who was coming from the other direction.

Perhaps out of instinctive guilt, and because Luo Jingyan was her mortal enemy, she couldn't calm herself down when she saw Luo Jingyan; at least her eyes were filled with panic.

Fearing that Luo Jingyan would notice her unusual behavior, she quickly bypassed Luo Jingyan and went to her own front door. She took out the key from her spatial storage, opened the door, went inside, closed the door, and then bolted it from the inside. Still not feeling safe, she placed two wooden sticks on top of it before entering the house.

She locked the door from the inside, sat on the earthen bed, and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, only then did she feel a little bit of security.

She lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and the scene of Li Hongying's eyes rolling back flashed through her mind from time to time. Even after a while, her heart could not calm down.

The force of her stone was so great that it was enough to kill Li Hongying.

There was no one else around just now, and she didn't see anyone when she left the alley. There's absolutely no way anyone would know that she killed Li Hongying.

She kept telling herself not to be afraid, that no one would come after her, because no one knew that Li Hongying's death was related to her.

After repeating this process many times, her mood gradually calmed down.

When Luo Jingyan returned home, she was still thinking about Zhuang Feifei's flustered appearance earlier. What had she gone to do?

By evening, the news of Li Hongying being hit on the head had spread throughout the village, but there was still no news of whether she was dead or alive.

Because Luo Jingyan was busy with the winery, she didn't have to work in the fields. She spent the whole afternoon at the winery with Uncle Li Jiu and hadn't yet had a chance to catch any of the latest gossip.

As she walked home after leaving the distillery, she ran into other commune members returning from the fields. The members were in groups of three or five, each discussing something.

There were also several women standing together by the roadside, seemingly gossiping and whispering among themselves. Whenever Luo Jingyan saw such a scene, it usually meant that some major news had happened in the village.

For example, someone's daughter-in-law is having an affair, someone's husband is caught cheating on his wife, or there's a brawl between two families that resulted in serious injuries, or someone drowning in the water, and so on.

The middle-aged women were chatting away with great enthusiasm, but their faces showed fear and seriousness. She was certain it wasn't the kind of gossip about catching someone in the act of adultery, because women would usually have a teasing expression on their faces when they talked about that kind of gossip.
