After silently reciting the word "advance," Li Hongying opened her eyes. What she saw was still the dilapidated mud-brick wall, the roof beams covered with cobwebs, and the hollowed-out windows. Beneath her was a pile of dry thatch.

She was still in the same dilapidated house.

They didn't even enter the space.

She frowned in confusion, pondering why she hadn't been able to enter the space.

Couldn't she manipulate space with her mind?

That's not right. After Zhuang Feifei bound herself to the space, she could control the space freely with her thoughts. Why can't she do it this way?

She thought for a moment. She had only silently recited the word "enter" for a second before opening her eyes. She must have been too hasty and waited too short a time. The space hadn't had time to react and accept her yet. She would try again.

So she closed her eyes again and silently recited "Go" in her heart.

She waited for about a minute, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself still in the same spot, with nothing around her changed.

"Could it be that the time hasn't been long enough?" she murmured to herself.

Fortunately, she was patient and had plenty of time, so she could just keep going.

The third time she waited five minutes, but when she opened her eyes she was still sitting in the same spot.

She forcefully suppressed her impatience. It's okay, let's continue.

The fourth time, it took her ten minutes, and when she opened her eyes, she was still the same.

The fifth time, she closed her eyes and waited for fifteen minutes, but still didn't open them. She reached out and touched the dry thatch beside her—she failed again!

She grew anxious and slapped the ground, demanding, "What exactly happened?"

How should space be used?

After a while, she sighed. She only knew how to steal space when she slept, but didn't really understand how to use it.

By the way, she also has a professional powerful spatial system; just ask the system and you'll know.

It's strange, really. She's had Zhuang Feifei's space for so long, but her system hasn't made a sound. What is that damn system doing?

Then, she used her consciousness to call out to the system: "System, system, come out quickly, I have a question to ask you."

But there was no response to her.

[System, System, where have you been? Come out now!]

There was still no response to her.

"Damn system!" she cursed.

She doesn't usually communicate much with the system. They don't talk at all unless it's about the space. The system usually has a cold attitude, but as long as she takes the initiative to speak, the system will answer her questions to some extent, regardless of its attitude. Besides, today is the day she got the space, so the system should be more active. Unexpectedly, it completely ignores her today.

"What a piece of junk!" she cursed again.

Well, since I can't invoke the system, I'll just have to keep figuring things out myself.

She rested her chin on her hand and pondered for a moment, thinking that perhaps this space was special and that she couldn't enter using conventional methods.

Perhaps she entered the space in the wrong posture. Sitting wouldn't work, but surely standing up would be fine.

However, after trying several times—standing at attention, standing crookedly, standing on one leg—it didn't work no matter how I stood.

Standing didn't work, sitting didn't work, so she tried lying down. But as it turned out, no matter whether she lay flat, on her side, half-lying down, or prone, the door to the world still didn't open for her.

Finally, she even tried standing on her head, but it still didn't work.

Two hours had passed before she realized it, and she still hadn't been able to enter the space, which made her chest heave violently with anger.

She wanted to ask Zhuang Feifei how to enter the space, but she was afraid that Zhuang Feifei would not tell her.

No, she couldn't come up with a solution herself; she had to turn to the system for help.

She called out to the system again using her consciousness: "System, what were you doing? Come out here right now!"

There was still no response.

[System, system, what are you doing? Come out now, I have something to ask you.]

After a while, she finally heard some groggy sounds in her head, as if she had just woken up.

[Host, what's wrong?]

[System, did you just wake up?]

[Yes, you just managed to steal Zhuang Feifei's last drop of blood. I need to combine that drop with your blood, and also with the four drops I obtained earlier. Because it consumed too much energy, I've entered a dormant state to repair my energy.]

[System, is the blood fusion complete now?]

[It’s over. 】

【oh.】

Li Hongying realized why she couldn't enter the space; the system must not have finished the blood fusion process. She would try again.

However, the result of this experiment was the same as before.

[System, why can't I enter the space? Tell me the trick to entering the space.]

[Oh?] The system displayed a question mark: [Host, you cannot enter that space yet, because the space is not on you.]

"What did you say?" Li Hongying exclaimed in surprise. "Didn't you say that after I obtained five drops of Zhuang Feifei's blood, I would take over her space? Why haven't I gotten it yet? I know, you were lying to me, weren't you?"

"No, I'm not lying to you, host. Don't worry, listen to me. I only discovered the space hadn't come to you after I merged Zhuang Feifei's and your blood. This is also my first time helping someone seize a space; I have no experience."

Based on my analysis, Zhuang Feifei's spatial ability wasn't originally part of her. It was likely stored in some kind of object, and then Zhuang Feifei bound it to her with her blood. Therefore, that space should now be back in that object. Host, once you find that object and also bind it to your body with your blood, that space will be able to bind to you.
