Chapter 316 Confession
Xia Juanjuan didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so she could only say, "Anyway, we're not dead, and we're temporarily safe now. This is actually... my personal space..."
Before he finished speaking, the scene in front of their eyes suddenly changed again, returning to the stormy night, and the surroundings were still flooded and submerged everything.
However, the two were no longer soaking in the water this time, but... on a relatively high mountain top that was exposed above the water!
This place was similar to the top of the hill where they had fled after the battle, but it was obviously not the same place. It was hard to tell where this place was, but it should be not far from where they had fallen into the water and were drifting down.
Xia Juanjuan: “…”
Was she... kicked out of her own space?
It was quite humane, at least they were not allowed to continue soaking in the water...
Li Zhan didn't know what to say anymore.
If it was a last glimmer of light, an illusion, it all seemed too real.
He pinched his thigh hard and grimaced in pain.
Lizhan calmed down. He was conscious and the pinch he had just received was very painful, which proved that it was indeed true.
Li Zhan looked at Xia Juanjuan inquiringly.
If the hot spring and the bright sunshine just now were real, and if it was true that they reached the shore from the turbid flood in an instant, then... the key to all this happening must be his wife.
"Wife, what's going on? What did you just say? What..."
Xia Juanjuan also knew that at this point, she really couldn't keep it secret any longer.
She cleared her throat nervously and said, "It's just now... the place with hot springs and sunshine we entered, it's my personal space. Isn't there a jade bottle-shaped birthmark on my wrist? As long as I press there, I can enter the space. In this space, I can store things, grow food, raise pigs, cattle and sheep, etc..."
In order to describe it more clearly, she said, "Well... I will disappear for a while and come out soon, just wait a moment..."
As she spoke, Xia Juanjuan pressed the birthmark on her wrist and silently entered the space.
Li Zhan was speechless and his eyes widened in shock.
Xia Juanjuan indeed disappeared out of thin air in front of him!
However, after a while, Xia Juanjuan appeared again out of nowhere with two big meat buns in her hands.
Xia Juanjuan handed one to Lizhan and said, "It's still hot, you can eat it."
Lizhan took it mechanically, and it was indeed still hot, just like it had just come out of the pot.
The problem was, Juanjuan had just been soaking in the water with him, and her whole body was soaked. Even if she saw a ghost, there was no way she could take out a freshly steamed meat bun from her body!
Xia Juanjuan said apprehensively, "This is from my existence space. If you are hungry, you can take it out and eat it anytime. Take a bite and try it. It's delicious."
Li Zhan took a bite.
For him, who had been starving for six or seven days, being able to eat a meat bun at this moment was simply a matter of life and death!
Li Zhan couldn't help but take another bite.
Seeing that he was willing to eat the buns taken out from the space, Xia Juanjuan felt relieved at least that he was not afraid or repulsed by it psychologically. She took a bite herself and said, "It's just... I don't know why I have this space. I didn't have it before. I don't know how I got it before I married you..."
Li Zhan thought about the doubts he had felt before, so he asked, "Not long after we got married, I was fighting bandits on Mount Huangshan and was shot. The wound was infected. It was you who came to my side through this... portable space and saved me, right?"
Xia Juanjuan felt a little guilty, but since she had already confessed, there was no need to hide it now, so she nodded and said, "Yes. But... I don't know what happened that time, you suddenly broke into my space and scared me. Then, I went over to help you bandage your wounds, and somehow, you took me from the space to that deserted mountain..."
Li Zhan thought about the situations that had always puzzled him, and suddenly couldn't help but chuckled softly: "No wonder..."
He kept explaining the events of Xia Juanjuan appearing on the deserted mountain, bandaging his wounds, luring the second in command, and helping him kill the bandits as a dream caused by his wounds becoming infected and having a high fever, making him confused.
It turns out... everything is true.
"What's the wonder?" Xia Juanjuan became nervous again.
Li Zhan glanced at her and said, "No wonder you can insist that my wound is on my left abdomen even though you have never seen it..."
Xia Juanjuan was startled and asked with some stammering: "Did I... let it slip? When?"
Li Zhan nodded and said with a smile: "It's quite early, when the three little ones were not born yet..."
Xia Juanjuan looked at him: "So... you started to doubt me... from that time?"
Li Zhan smiled and said, "I don't really doubt it. After all, the barren mountain in Qingshui Village is hundreds of kilometers away. I would never have guessed that you would really appear there out of nowhere to save me..."
"Well... this space also has a teleportation function. It means that places I've been to, such as Jing City, can be reached instantly through space."
As she spoke, Xia Juanjuan raised her head with a guilty conscience and asked, "Lizhan, do you think I am a monster because I have this space? Are you afraid? Are you going to divorce me?"
Lizhan shook his head and said, "Do you think I look scared? Besides, although you have this space, you have never used it to do anything bad. Instead, you have saved me time and time again, right? Juanjuan, you are my wife, and I have chosen you for this life. We already have three children, and you still want me to divorce you? Unless I die! I will never be afraid of you.
Xia Juanjuan heaved a sigh of relief. She quickly covered Li Zhan's mouth and said, "What are you talking about? Don't say that again!"
Li Zhan grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "Okay. Then continue to be honest."
Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment: "Continue... confess?"
What else is there to confess? She has already told him her biggest secret - her personal space!
Li Zhan reminded her and said with a smile: "For example... Browning's matter."
Xia Juanjuan: “…”
Xia Juanjuan: "How did you know...I have Browning?"
Lizhan sighed and said, "Have you forgotten that when the triplets were kidnapped, you used Browning to injure one of the criminals? Later in the northwest, a horse thief was also killed by Browning. You also used a gun to break the ice, right? I checked the bullets on the two people, and they had the same pattern on them. They were obviously fired from the same gun. Juanjuan, we are professionals in this area."
Xia Juanjuan: “…”
She had always thought that she was quite cautious and careful, and had left no evidence, but she had never expected that... in Lizhan's eyes, she was full of loopholes.
Xia Juanjuan sighed, then went straight into the space, took out the Browning and showed it to Li Zhan.
"I have a Browning, this one..."
Li Zhan was no longer surprised to see her disappear and reappear out of thin air, bringing with her a small Browning.
"Then... and Luo Cheng... you know him, right?"
