The first thing Shen Yanming did when he got home was to touch the TV screen. Hmm, it was cold.
The second thing was to check Bi Qiaoan's phone; well, the location was fine.
The third thing, pressing the home button, made Shen Yanming laugh, "Looks like she's sneaked out to read the news again."
That's right, Shen Yanming had long discovered that Bi Qiaoan would sneak out when he wasn't around. He would even create such opportunities for her sometimes, otherwise, Bi Qiaoan would be absent-minded all day long in the space.
As for how Shen Yanming discovered it, is there even a need to explain? The phone battery doesn't drop, does it?
However, he wouldn't expose Bi Qiaoan's little tricks; he'd just consider it their unspoken understanding.
After changing his clothes and returning to the space, he found his little wife sleeping soundly in bed. Hmm, she was faking it!
Shen Yanming smiled and kissed her lips, then got up and went to his study.
On the day they entered the space, Shen Yanming had Bi Qiaoan use her consciousness to move the books from the bamboo house to the villa's study. This way, even if he went to study ancient books, he could be closer to Qiaoan, and he could appear immediately if she needed anything.
After Shen Yanming left, Bi Qiaoan opened her eyes, lay on the bed for half an hour, and then got up to go to the kitchen to make dinner.
He's been quite tired lately, and Bi Qiaoan thought she should give him some nourishment.
Bi Qiaoan stood in the kitchen and used her mind to scoop up more than a dozen large shrimp from the lake, and also picked a few rapeseed plants, a few mushrooms, and a few potatoes from the vegetable garden.
The ingredients flew into the kitchen sink with a whoosh, and Bi Qiaoan immediately used her mind to kill the prawns before washing them. "Sigh, another killing..."
After washing it clean, she took out a piece of beef from the refrigerator.
As for why she didn't use fresh food, it's because Bi Qiaoan's consciousness couldn't control the items in the storage area, and she didn't want to travel that far to get them. Besides, she couldn't very well slaughter a cow just to have something fresh to eat.
So, I froze some meat in the refrigerator to deal with this situation.
After that, it's time to chop what needs to be chopped, stir-fry what needs to be stir-fried, and stew what needs to be stewed.
An hour later, braised prawns, shiitake mushrooms and bok choy, beef stew with potatoes, and rice were ready.
Bi Qiaoan went to the study to call Shen Yanming, and after dinner, the two went for a walk in the space.
There is no darkness in the space, so even though it is evening outside, the space is still as bright as day.
The two walked hand in hand through the lake, flower gardens, orchards, and herb gardens. When it was time to return to the villa, Bi Qiaoan looked at the distant mountains thoughtfully.
Shen Yanming followed Bi Qiaoan's gaze and looked into the distance. The mountains in the space were beautiful. Although only a small part of them were exposed, their emerald green color was enough to make one feel refreshed just by looking at them.
“We’ve never been there,” Bi Qiaoan said.
"Want to go?" Shen Yanming asked.
Bi Qiaoan nodded, and Shen Yanming took her hand, "Then let's go take a look!"
Since neither of them had ever climbed a mountain before, they couldn't even find the path up. Bi Qiaoan used her senses to search for a long time at the foot of the mountain before finally finding a narrow, winding path leading up.
Bi Qiaoan exclaimed, "I didn't even realize it before. It's like this mountain blocked my consciousness. I searched for a long time at the foot of the mountain before I found the way."
Shen Yanming frowned. "It seems there's a secret in the mountains!"
Unsure of the situation in the mountains, the two did not rush to go up.
The two returned to the mobile villa, changed into long sleeves and trousers, and each carried a hiking backpack containing water and food. Shen Yanming put a fruit knife in Bi Qiaoan's bag, while he took a kitchen knife for himself.
When they reached the entrance, Shen Yanming said to Bi Qiaoan, "If there is any danger and we really can't withstand it, leave the space immediately."
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "I know!"
Shen Yanming pulled Bi Qiaoan up the mountain. The higher they went, the easier their steps became. It was really strange!
Moreover, Shen Yanming discovered that he recognized the plants on the road at first, but the further he went in, the stranger the plants became. He felt that these plants did not seem to be from this world.
When they reached the mountaintop, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan both felt that the place was simply surreal.
First of all, the air here seems to have energy, making the body feel very comfortable. The two of them climbed the mountain for two or three hours, but they were not tired at all. On the contrary, they were full of energy.
Secondly, the plants here were unlike anything they had ever seen before—a three-colored flower, small berries clinging to the trees…
Finally, there were many small animals here: blue-feathered birds, golden-furred monkeys, snow-white-furred foxes, and many more. When they first appeared, they startled Bi Qiaoan, but they seemed unafraid of people, jumping up to the two of them and looking them over like curious children. Fortunately, none of them seemed to intend to attack them.
Looking at all this, Bi Qiaoan couldn't help but exclaim, "How amazing, how fantastical!"
Shen Yanming stared thoughtfully at the plants and animals around him.
"This place is so magical, why didn't your ancestors mention it in their notes?"
"Perhaps, the ancestral space was never opened up to this place at all."
Bi Qiaoan thought about it and agreed!
They only opened this place after being washed by the energy rain, and it wasn't fully opened yet. The Shen family patriarch might not have even encountered energy rain before.
Moreover, the white mist is not far away, and who knows what might be behind it!
Shen Yanming led Bi Qiaoan forward. Along the way, the two collected many plant leaves and fruits that Shen Yanming found somewhat "familiar," and even took photos of them with their mobile phones.
The two walked for a very long time until they found a spring on the mountaintop, as big as a basketball court, filled with white liquid and shrouded in mist.
"This... could it be the legendary spiritual spring? And these plants... could they be the legendary spiritual plants and fruits?" Bi Qiaoan exclaimed in surprise.
Shen Yanming shook his head. "I don't know. This place is too strange, it's like another world."
Shen Yanming took out a bottle of purified water from his backpack, poured out the water, and then reached into the spring water to fill the plastic bottle.
When Bi Qiaoan saw Shen Yanming put his hand into the water, she almost screamed, "Are you crazy? I was just saying something, we don't even know what this water is, what if it's poisonous?"
Bi Qiaoan reached out to tug at Shen Yanming's arm, but Shen Yanming just laughed and said, "It's okay, maybe you were right."
Shen Yanming raised his right hand, and a line on his wrist separated his skin into two colors: the back of his hand was fair and tender, while his arm was pinkish-red from the sun.
"When my hands touched this spring water, it felt very comfortable, just like when the energy rain touched my skin. A gentle energy flowed into my body."
Seeing Shen Yanming's gentle expression, Bi Qiaoan knew he wasn't lying. She walked to the spring, hesitated for a moment, and stuck a finger in.
