"After Xiao Jiang brings over the remaining thirty taels of silver in two days, I will give him the letter of severance of kinship."
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Village Chief Xu," Xu Dagui nodded and said.
"Then I'll head back now." Village Chief Xu put away the four letters severing ties and stood up, saying this. Then, remembering something, he stopped and said:
“Madam Xu, Er Ya will be getting married in a couple of days. Buy her a nice dress. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable to take so much money and give her nothing.”
"Village chief, don't worry, Er Ya is my own granddaughter, I will make arrangements," Da Xu Shi readily agreed.
Village Chief Xu nodded and left with peace of mind. Seeing that the village chief had left, Aunt Liu felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so she could only offer a few words of advice before leaving as well.
"Stop right there, you good-for-nothing!" Madam Xu changed her attitude from before and called out to Jiang Hua, who was turning to leave, with a sharp and sarcastic tone.
"Do you think we won't beat you just because Aunt Liu and the village chief are backing you up?"
Jiang Hua seemed not to hear, and left the inner room without hesitation, returning to the woodshed.
"Grandma, don't be angry. I'll go and talk to Sister Erya," Lin Shuyan said, helping Madam Xu to sit down on a stool.
"Yan Yan, you're so obedient," Madam Xu sighed. "I'll go to town in a couple of days to buy you some pretty hair accessories."
"Grandma, no need, you should buy it for Sister Er Ya, she's getting married," Lin Shuyan refused.
“She’s a good-for-nothing, she doesn’t deserve to wear a hair accessory,” Xu said from the side.
Jiang Hua, who was in the woodshed, heard every word of their conversation in the inner room.
"You vicious female supporting character, don't even think about defying fate. You'll never have the protagonist's halo that Lin Shuyan has." The system's voice rang out again.
Jiang Hua ignored the system in her mind, went to the kitchen to fetch a basin of water, returned to the woodshed to wipe herself, and cleaned the bloodstains around the wound on her forehead.
Fortunately, the wound wasn't deep, but it still needed to be treated. Jiang Hua looked at her empty arm. Before her soul transmigrated, she had a bracelet on her hand. This bracelet was a magical space that could store anything.
In her previous life, she was able to enter the country's paranormal bureau by accidentally activating this space, and later this space accompanied her in completing countless missions.
Before his soul transmigrated, his last mission was to go to the underground black market in Country A and bring back the time machine lost by the Paranormal Bureau. During the struggle, he accidentally activated this supposedly failed time machine. A burst of white light struck, and when he woke up, he found himself transmigrated to this era.
The sounds from the inner room gradually subsided. Jiang Hua closed the door and calmed down to think.
Just as Jiang Hua was thinking about going up the mountain the next day to find some herbs to treat her wounds, a flash of white light streaked through her mind. When she came to her senses, she found herself in that familiar space.
They even discovered that the current space has a richer spiritual energy than the previous space. The three-story wooden house in the space is still there. They wonder if the laboratory inside the wooden house is still there.
Thinking this, Jiang Hua pushed open the door and went inside. Nothing inside had changed. She then tried to control the space with her mind.
Sure enough, a medicine box appeared on the previously empty table. When I opened it, I found that it really contained the ointment I needed.
Jiang Hua treated her wounds with medicine from the medicine box, then walked to the spiritual spring in the space, took off her clothes, and soaked in the spring.
She had already experienced the effects of the spiritual spring water before; it could cleanse the marrow and strengthen the bones. However, she had tried it before, and since only she could enter the space, the spiritual spring water could only exert its true effects on her alone.
The Paranormal Bureau also investigated the spiritual spring water in the space, and the result was that it was just ordinary spring water.
Jiang Hua soaked for ten minutes before coming out. The scars on her body had faded somewhat. She was still with the Xu family, and once she left the Xu family, she would use the spiritual spring water to completely remove the scars.
After all, nobody likes to be covered in scars. With this cheat ability of having a spatial ability, why not make the most of it?
After being overjoyed, Jiang Hua thought of the system bound to her body. Would this system discover the secret of the space within her body?
Thinking it over, Jiang Hua used her mind to create a space again.
"Where did you just go? Why can't I sense your presence?"
As soon as Jiang Hua came out of the space, she heard the mechanical questioning voice of the system.
Upon hearing this, it seems the system truly cannot sense the existence of its own space.
"What is it? How can it be compared to the space formed by the spiritual energy of all things in heaven and earth?" A crisp voice rang out.
Jiang Hua frowned. What was this?
This time, the sound came from the space. Jiang Hua used her consciousness to probe into the space and found that a snake with a pure white and shiny body had appeared there at some point.
"And who are you?" Jiang Hua ignored the system in her mind and entered the space again.
"I am the spirit of space," the little white snake said.
"Then why weren't you in the space before?" Jiang Hua asked.
"The spiritual energy in that world before was too thin, not enough to support my appearance," the little white snake answered every question.
Having witnessed all sorts of strange things at the Paranormal Bureau, Jiang Hua quickly accepted the appearance of a talking white snake in the space.
"Can I go back?" Jiang Hua asked tentatively.
"As far as I know, it's impossible. Your body has already been dissected and studied by the Paranormal Bureau."
Jiang Hua was taken aback. She seemed to have signed an agreement before joining the Paranormal Bureau, stating that her body would be donated to the Paranormal Bureau for research after she died.
"There's nothing wrong with this place, and you still have me, this all-powerful space," the little white snake said, trying to comfort Jiang Hua when she didn't speak.
"Will the system on my body discover the secrets of this space? Is there any way to unbind it?" Jiang Hua changed her question.
She could accept the little white snake in front of her, after all, it was a product of her space, but the system was not. Based on their interactions today, the system was hostile to her.
It belongs to Lin Shuyan, the female protagonist of this world, although it is unknown why it mistakenly bound to the original body.
"You don't need to worry about this dog system. It can't sense the existence of space, nor can it grasp what you're thinking. Simply put, it can only occasionally annoy you in your mind," the little white snake explained.
"At present, your body's spiritual power is insufficient to separate the system. You need to rest for a while longer, in any case, it won't cause you any harm."
Jiang Hua nodded, then looked at the little white snake with a cold gaze: "So you can read my mind now?"
The little white snake darted two meters away from Jiang Hua before explaining, "No, I am merely a spatial spirit and do not have that authority."
