Chapter 5, the Begonia Space, is now open!
The echoes of Lu Jingyan's words, "A week from now, you'll come back to Beijing with me," still reverberated in the living room.
Su Wantang didn't look at her family members who were already frozen in shock. She turned around and went straight upstairs.
The high heels clicked on the wooden stairs, each step feeling like a blow to Su Zhenhong's heart.
She pushed open her bedroom door and locked it with a click.
Leaning against the cold door, Su Wantang let out a long breath.
The world is finally quiet again.
She looked around the bedroom that belonged to the "original owner".
Pink wallpaper, curtains adorned with lace, a row of glass marbles and several Qiong Yao novels on the desk, and even a rabbit doll on the bed holding a carrot, its eyes wide open and looking silly.
She exudes an air of naivety and innocence, as if she were completely unaware of the ways of the world.
Su Wantang's gaze swept over everything, and she felt completely out of place. She was no longer the fool who would be easily fooled by a few sweet words.
The faint warmth returned to my palm.
It was clearer and more persistent than when I was in the hotel.
Su Wantang opened her right hand, and in the center of her fair palm was a very faint begonia flower mark, barely visible.
This is it.
She remembered clearly that at the Peace Hotel, she was tormented by the drug, her body burning with fever and her consciousness blurred. Just after the mark burned for a moment, the burning heat miraculously subsided considerably.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to hold on until Lu Jingyan woke up, let alone negotiate terms with him in a clear and logical manner.
This is definitely not an ordinary birthmark.
Whether they are enemies or friends, blessings or curses, we must find out.
Su Wantang walked to the bedside and sat down, holding her breath and concentrating all her thoughts on the small begonia flower in her palm.
Feel it, touch it, explore it...
The moment that thought flashed through my mind, the scene before my eyes suddenly blurred!
A slight dizziness ran through my brain, and the scene before my eyes spun around me.
When she opened her eyes again, she was no longer in that pink boudoir.
Where is this...?
The surrounding area was shrouded in thick, impenetrable white fog, which enveloped the entire world, obscuring the boundaries.
Beneath my feet lies soft, fertile black soil, exuding the unique fragrance of earth. Inhaling it washes away the gloom of the past few days.
Not far away, the clear sound of water splashing could be heard.
An ancient stone spring is continuously bubbling up water vapor, the water surface is crystal clear, and it is filled with a faint spiritual atmosphere.
Beside the spring, a two-story wooden building stands quietly, with upturned eaves and an antique feel, its origin unknown.
Su Wantang was shocked, and an unbelievable thought popped into her head.
Portable space?
Good heavens, has this incredible wealth finally come to her?
She suppressed her overwhelming joy and quickly walked to the spring.
Without the slightest hesitation, she bent down and scooped up a handful of clear spring water with both hands.
The water enters the mouth, and an indescribable sweetness instantly explodes on the taste buds.
Immediately afterwards, the spring water transformed into a warm current, sliding down the throat into the abdomen, and then spreading to the limbs and bones.
Wherever the warm current passed, the soreness and weakness left over from last night, the lingering discomfort from the medication, and even her body, which had been weakened by chemotherapy in her previous life, felt as if a gentle hand was stroking it. All the fatigue and soreness were instantly swept away.
I felt more energetic and relaxed than ever before!
nice one!
This is definitely good stuff!
Su Wantang scooped up another handful of water and drank it without hesitation.
She could clearly feel her body being nourished and repaired by this magical spring water.
She looked at the black soil beneath her feet and reached out to grab a handful.
The soil was dark and oily; when you held it in your hand, you could feel a surging vitality. She was certain that this land could probably grow gold even if you scattered a handful of stones.
The space was roughly the size of a basketball court; beyond that, there was only indistinct white mist, as if it were still in a state of chaos.
Finally, her gaze fell on the two-story wooden building.
This should be the core of the space.
She stepped forward, reached out, and gently pushed open the rustic wooden door.
"Squeak—"
The door hinges made a long, drawn-out sound.
The first floor of the wooden building was empty, supported only by a few thick pillars. The floor was made of smooth wooden planks and was spotless.
Although it was empty, Su Wantang could clearly sense that something could be placed here.
A thought flashed through her mind.
She closed her eyes, concentrated, and imagined the ox horn comb on her dressing table in her boudoir.
Come in!
The next second, she had a thought.
On the previously empty wooden floor, with a soft "thud," a familiar ox horn comb appeared out of thin air.
It was a success!
Su Wantang's breathing became rapid instantly.
She closed her eyes again, this time targeting a copy of "Dream of the Red Chamber" on her bedside table.
Come in!
"Clatter".
Next to the horn comb, there was another thick, hardcover book.
Storage!
It's storage space!
An overwhelming surge of joy welled up in Su Wantang's heart.
Spiritual Spring! Divine Soil! Storage!
This isn't just a cheat code; it's a walking gold mine! It's her biggest trump card for surviving and seeking revenge in this unfamiliar 1980s!
She turned her head sharply, her gaze seemingly piercing through the barriers of space, and saw the small Western-style house belonging to the Su family outside.
Her gaze gradually turned cold, then bright.
Su Zhenhong, Liu Liyun, Su Yuting...
Didn't you want to pack me up and send me to the countryside to fend for myself?
Don't you want to seize all the inheritance left by my mother?
very good.
What Su Wantang likes to do most is to undermine the enemy's defenses.
Those antique paintings and calligraphy, gold and jade, rare medicinal herbs... she won't leave a single hair of her mother's dowry to these scumbags!
Emptying the Su family's coffers is no longer just a pipe dream!
An indescribable surge of pride welled up within her.
After calming down, her gaze fell on the staircase leading to the second floor.
The first floor is for storage, so what about the second floor?
Could there be an even bigger surprise?
For example, cultivation manuals or unparalleled martial arts.
Filled with anticipation, she climbed the wooden stairs and walked step by step toward the tightly closed door on the second floor.
His hand rested on the door.
Push hard.
"Buzz—"
An invisible force rebounded from the door, gently yet firmly keeping her outside.
She hesitated for a moment, then, refusing to believe it, she tried again.
The wooden door remained completely still.
This cheat system even comes with a built-in leveling-up and monster-fighting system!
Instead of being discouraged, Su Wantang found it even more interesting.
The unknown represents infinite possibilities.
She took a deep, greedy breath of the sweet air in the space, her heart burning with passion.
The Su family, Lin Zihang, Su Yuting...
Let's take our time and have some fun.
