Jiang Hua showed no mercy, each move aimed to kill. Just as her dagger was about to pierce Ye Shaoling, several darts suddenly flew from his fan and attacked her vital points.

With a somersault, she dodged the attack, and with a snap, Ye Shaoling knocked the dagger from Jiang Hua's hand away with the handle of his fan.

"Once you fall into my hands, hand over the secret formula, and I'll give you a quick death!" Ye Shaoling said to Jiang Hua with a smile.

It's a pity. If she were an obedient woman, I could keep her by my side. But she has a bad temper, so forget it.

"Dream on." Jiang Hua quickly bent down, picked up the dagger from the ground, and attacked Ye Shaoling.

"Don't bother struggling, you're no match for me," Ye Shaoling said casually.

The two figures became entangled again, and this time, Jiang Hua was on high alert.

Just as Ye Shaoling's palm strike, imbued with internal force, was launched, Jiang Hua was pulled behind her by a hand, and Ye Shaoling, who was attacking her, was also knocked back a few steps.

"Huahua, are you alright?"

Bai Heng arrived just in time to witness this scene and quickly intervened to stop it.

"Bai Heng, are you going to get involved in this matter?" Ye Shaoling stared directly at Bai Heng, a sharp glint in his eyes.

"Ye Shaoling, haven't you already seen it?" Bai Heng said with a faint smile, but the smile on his face did not reach his eyes.

"Good, very good." Ye Shaoling gave Bai Heng a meaningful look and then said.

"It's getting late. If you have nothing else to do, I'll take Huahua back first," Bai Heng said.

"Jiang Hua, if you dare to hurt Yan Yan again, even ten Bai Hengs won't be able to help you next time!" Ye Shaoling said ruthlessly.

"Instead of wasting time, Young Master Ye, why don't you take your Miss Lin to see a doctor and have him check her pulse to see if she has any paranoia?"

After saying that, Jiang Hua and Bai Heng left Guangfu Restaurant.

"Miss Jiang, did they do anything to you? Are you hurt?" Manager Bai asked anxiously as soon as he saw the two of them come out of Guangfu Restaurant.

"It's alright, thankfully Young Master Bai arrived in time," Jiang Hua replied.

"That's good, that's good." Manager Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief. They couldn't go into Guangfu Restaurant, but they took a peek from the doorway and saw a pile of corpses, which terrified them.

"I happen to be at Shifang Academy. Manager Bai sent someone to ask me to come here," Bai Heng explained.

"Manager Bai, thank you very much." Jiang Hua bowed slightly. This time, she had indeed underestimated her opponent. This body was not the one from the Supernatural Bureau, and her physical strength and combat power were not up to par. In addition, she had been negligent these past few days.

It seems I need to strengthen this body's training. Ye Shaoling has already decided to kill me, and next time there won't be Bai Heng to save me in time.

"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright." Manager Bai waved his hand and said, "Before the master left, he instructed us to be careful of the Ye family and to protect Miss Jiang."

"It's getting late, Huahua, you should get some rest." Bai Heng said goodbye without lingering.

"Thank you for saving me tonight, Young Master Bai," Jiang Hua said again.

That night, Jiang Hua checked into a guest room at Mingyue Tower. The moment she closed the door, she entered her spatial dimension. Her clothes came off, revealing red marks and bruises the size of handprints on her back and shoulders.

"Master, how did you get hurt?" the little white snake asked, hanging from the tree.

"It's alright, I underestimated them," Jiang Hua replied while soaking in the spiritual spring water.

"Master, it's alright. I've found you a martial arts manual from this era. You can practice it in the space, and you'll achieve twice the results with half the effort." With that, the little white snake fell down from the tree, climbed back into its little nest, and retrieved an ancient book, placing it next to the spiritual spring.

"Where did you get these?" Jiang Hua asked after looking through them, as she didn't remember having these in her space.

"I traded it with other spatial spirits," the little white snake said weakly.

Jiang Hua then stopped asking questions. The little white snake had indeed said that in this world, with all things and the world being so vast, if she could have her own space, others could too; it was just a matter of different planes.

"Well done, keep it up," Jiang Hua said, stroking its shiny snake head.

After taking a bath, Jiang Hua began studying the martial arts manual that the little white snake had brought back in her spatial dimension, slowly figuring out how to use it.

When she came out of the space, it was already daylight outside.

Surprisingly, Guangfulou was closed today, while Mingyuelou returned to its former bustling state.

"Business is good today." As soon as Jiang Hua came downstairs, Sun Nian came to greet her.

"Miss Jiang, what would you like for breakfast? I'll have the kitchen make it for you."

"No need, you guys go ahead with your work, I'll go to the shop," Jiang Hua politely declined.

When Jiang Hua arrived at the shop, it had just opened, and Fang Ru and the others were still busy inside.

“Miss, a girl who claims to be your cousin just came by,” Wenqing immediately stepped forward to report.

"However, young lady, I saw that she works at the snail rice noodle shop across the street."

"It's alright, just ignore her next time she comes over," Jiang Hua replied.

"Did you bring back the chicken feet I asked you to buy yesterday?"

After only one day at the shop, many of her customers who had previously patronized her at the market for her salt-baked chicken feet said they wanted her to make and sell them again.

So he asked Fangru to buy chicken feet and teach them how to make them while it was less crowded in the morning, so they could put them in the shop to sell.

"I've already bought them; they're in the kitchen," Fangru said as she walked over.

"Wenya, you and I will come into the kitchen. I'll teach you how to cook. The rest of you can stay outside and watch the shop," Jiang Hua instructed.

After teaching them in the kitchen for over an hour, they had basically mastered the technique. Just as Jiang Hua was about to let them try it themselves, Wen Qing came in and said that someone had come looking for her.

"Who is it?" Jiang Hua asked. Could it be Lin Shuyan again?

“She said she’s your sister,” Wenqing replied.

"You guys keep doing it yourselves, I'll go check on things." Jiang Hua untied the apron from her waist and went out.

"Er Ya, are you really Er Ya?"

Jiang Hua had just come out of the kitchen when she saw a woman rushing towards her, grabbing her and shouting.

"Who are you?" Jiang Hua calmly pushed away the woman who was tightly clutching her clothes.

"Er Ya, don't you recognize me? I'm your older sister, Daya!" Xu Daya wiped away her tears and stared intently at Jiang Hua's face.

"You are Er Ya!" he said confidently.

"My name is Jiang Hua. What can I do for you?" Jiang Hua asked.

The original owner didn't have much of an impression of this older sister. The Xu Daya in front of her was three years older than the original owner. Looking at her weathered and tired face, people who didn't know their ages would think that they were twenty years apart.

"Didn't you have breakfast?" Jiang Hua asked, hearing the sudden growling of hunger coming from Xu Daya's stomach.
