Tang Baozhu looked at the fist-sized water-repelling beads in her hand and found that there were many such large beads in the box, while there were very few of those only the size of a thumb, and quite a lot of those water-repelling beads the size of chicken eggs and duck eggs.
"Brother Xu, how do you have so many collections? I was originally thinking of going to the beach to find them myself, but now that you have the water-repelling beads, it seems like I don't need to go to the beach anymore."
Tang Baozhu really wanted to see the ocean of the cultivation world. Was it as magnificent as described in novels? Was it so difficult to find another island to stop on even after flying for ten days or half a month? She was just too curious.
"There are many other wonderful things in the sea. If you want to go, we can go now. The Azure Water Pearl can only let you go into the sea. Once you see the other underwater scenes, you'll know how beautiful it is and how many treasures there are. However, you can't go alone. The sea is still very dangerous. Some of the ferocious sea beasts have very high cultivation levels. Of course, if you come with me, it's fine because I will protect you."
Xu Rui had already noticed the little girl's eager expression, so of course he would grant her wish to see the sea, especially since it wasn't a big deal.
Tang Baozhu nodded eagerly, "I want to go. I've been wanting to see it for a long time. Your cultivation level is so high, I don't think I need to worry about any danger. Let's go now."
“Okay, but we’re quite far from the sea. Even if the spaceship goes at full speed, it will take about two months to fly. The next few days might be a bit boring, but you can go to your room to cultivate and improve your cultivation.”
Looking at the spaceship's current speed, Tang Baozhu felt it was like a rocket. She hadn't expected that even at such a fast speed, it would still take two months to reach the seaside. This gave her a new understanding of the vastness of this world.
In the days that followed, Xu Rui focused on controlling the spaceship to travel at full speed, while Tang Baozhu cultivated in the house. However, it seemed difficult to ask her to go into seclusion for a few months before coming out again.
Especially after her buttocks were injured, she stopped eating altogether, which made her feel very uncomfortable. In the end, she couldn't bear it any longer, so she took out the pots and pans from her space and went straight to the outside of the spaceship deck to cook herself a meal.
Fortunately, the space was fully equipped with tools, including a stove, so we cooked rice and stir-fried two dishes.
Inviting Xu Rui to dinner, Xu Rui hadn't eaten for almost 1000 years. All his thoughts were focused on cultivation and the precious pearl, so he hadn't eaten anything since he reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
When he ate again, he had a long-lost feeling of warmth.
“Baozhu, from now on, don’t eat these food dishes that have no spiritual energy anymore. I have planted a lot of spiritual grains, vegetables, fruits and medicinal herbs in my space. I have also raised a lot of spiritual beasts that are delicious and have spiritual energy. If you want to eat them, just take them from me.”
Tang Baozhu was very curious because he wasn't eating, yet he had so many plants in his space. So she asked Xu Rui, "You don't eat, so why are you preparing all these things?"
Xu Rui paused for a moment, then continued, "All the things in my space were prepared for you. My space is now very large, like a small world, with plenty of room, so I planted some for you. I don't know if you'll ever have a chance to eat them, I just did it because I thought of it."
His tone was extremely flat, as if it were a trivial matter.
Tang Baozhu was quite moved. Someone had been doing things for her silently for thousands of years without ever taking credit. Suddenly, she felt that Xu Rui was very foolish.
If I don't remember to look for Xu Rui, will I never know how deep his feelings for me are?
Suddenly, she realized that she wasn't such a scumbag after all. If she were, she probably wouldn't have even thought to look for Xu Rui. The fact that she remembered to look for him meant that she still had some conscience.
"Brother Xu, you're too good to me. I don't think I deserve your kindness."
After finishing the last bite of food in his bowl, Xu Rui looked up at Baozhu and said, "Whether it's worth it or not is my question. I think it is, and if you're willing, that's enough. Besides, when we first met, I already had no other thoughts about relationships. After all, as someone who has been betrayed, it's hard for me to love again. It's just that after chatting with you more in the group, I unconsciously started paying more attention to you."
"Later I saw the photos you posted in the group. Maybe my feelings were too superficial, but it was precisely because they were so superficial that I slowly opened my heart. Now my heart is full of you. Although I can feel that you don't like me much right now, I believe that as long as I keep treating you well, you will slowly open your heart and accept me."
Tang Baozhu felt that this scoundrel was being too sentimental, making her tears well up, as if she would be a sinner for all time if she didn't open her heart to him.
"Then I'll wait for you to keep treating me well, so that you can move me and make me open my heart to accept you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Rui's face instantly lit up with a smile, as if a hundred flowers were blooming, which was incredibly alluring.
Tang Baozhu felt that he was using his beauty to seduce her, but she couldn't even react in time.
She quickly lowered her head and shoveled the rice from her bowl into her mouth, so that if she kept staring at him, he wouldn't notice that she was being infatuated.
Tang Baozhu felt that it wouldn't be difficult to fall in love with him again. After all, in the world of the 1970s, she had already opened her heart to him and never married in that world. However, after returning to the space, those feelings had been erased.
I think it shouldn't be too difficult to fall in love with him again.
Seeing that she was embarrassed, Xu Rui quickly changed the subject to avoid her getting angry and upset with him later.
"How much has your space been upgraded now? I have a lot of spiritual things in my space, and a lot of good stuff too. How about I plant some in your space?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Baozhu instantly forgot her shyness. Nothing was more important than her stockpiling goods. "My space has only been upgraded three times, so it's not very big. But it should be able to grow some things with spiritual energy, since the spiritual energy in the space is quite abundant, it's just that the area is not large."
