Chapter 3 Space Supplies



A table of food that had just been prepared but not yet been eaten included ten dishes, one soup, two fruit plates, a bottle of Laobai Fen, a bottle of dry red wine, and a bottle of Coke.

Regardless of how much you eat, it will be refreshed every day at midnight. The space can be entered in spirit form or in real form.

Logically speaking, with such a cheat code, Chi Xingyue wouldn't have to reveal his identity. But who could blame him for the natural disaster that followed?

She couldn't stay in Jiangnan. As a weak woman, she would be worried even if she followed the escort team north.

Not to mention the human disaster that would follow, as a little girl without any support, she might be arrested and imprisoned in a brothel, or even raised and slaughtered.

It was scary to think about it, so it would be better to reach an agreement with the villain. Even if he broke his promise and refused to let me leave in the future, I would have to serve him well for the sake of "his hidden world".

If the other party had the intention to kill her, she would hide in the space and never come out again.

As for whether Ling Jiheng would take a concubine or find a mistress, well, she, an old lady in her thirties, doesn't care at all, okay?

In this world, no one can live without the other, not to mention, she still has space. If she hadn't been married and could avoid a lot of trouble, why would she have made such a plan?

Of course, Chi Xingyue wasn't just picking someone randomly. During the few days she was recuperating from her injuries, she not only asked the maids about the masters of the mansion, but also learned a little about the laws of the Great Yong Dynasty.

Although the local customs are relatively open, the government is very strict about household registration.

To apply for a replacement license under the pretext of loss, one needed at least ten people to guarantee it. Those without household registration were considered refugees, and even if they were captured and forced to work in the mines, no one would care.

This would eliminate Chi Xingyue's escape route. He would have to obtain a clean record through formal channels.

As for Ling Jiheng, he is handsome and has good character. He is the only legitimate grandson of Old Master Ling's second wife, Rong.

With this golden thigh, you can save a lot of effort even if you have to flee from famine.

Just as I was thinking this, I saw Ling Jiheng nodded: "Okay! After we get married, we will be inseparable. You can use my things as you like."

Chi Xingyue had exactly this intention.

There was nothing she could do, because she was poor. Apart from the endless food on the table, she only had a few hundred copper coins.

If it were an ordinary family, they might be able to hold on for a month or two, but then a natural disaster came, and this little bit of money was not enough to prepare supplies.

Of course, Chi Xingyue can also go and steal.

Anyway, no one knows her abilities, so it's not impossible for her to steal some gold, silver, and food and store them in the space while the Ling family isn't paying attention.

But she couldn't get over this mental barrier.

Anyone who has received compulsory education would not do anything that violates the criminal law. Moreover, she is a grassroots cadre.

So, Chi Xingyue confessed to Ling Jiheng. She'd considered the various consequences, but for the sake of future peace, she felt it was worth a try. Fortunately, the outcome was positive.

Ling Jiheng couldn't help but feel moved when he saw Chi Xingyue smiling like a little fox who had stolen some meat.

He rubbed his fingers together, trying hard to resist the urge to pinch her face. He pulled out a few banknotes from the secret compartment of his desk. "Here, you can make do with it tonight. Tomorrow morning, I'll have someone take you out shopping. Buy whatever you like. As for what you need on the road, I'll arrange it."

Chi Xingyue took a look at it and found that they were all small silver notes. Ten notes, ten taels each. Enough for an ordinary person to live on for a lifetime.

But, isn’t this a bit shabby for the richest man in Jiangnan?

Chi Xingyue thought so, but didn't show it. She would just take whatever was given to her. If she despised something that she hadn't worked for, she would be a little ungrateful.

What Chi Xingyue didn't know was that Ling Jiheng was incredibly wealthy. He'd even received some information. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so convinced of the fairy's identity so quickly.

The two of them reached a tacit understanding. Seeing that it was getting late, Ling Jiheng personally escorted Chi Xingyue out of Qingfeng Garden and even called his personal servant to take her back to her residence.

Chi Xingyue thanked him and strode away. The servant looked at his master in surprise, then at Chi Xingyue, feeling that there was something going on between them.

"Second Young Master..."

Ling Jiheng raised his hand and gave the other person a slap on the face: "Go find Jin Bao."

The servant nodded and walked away quickly, mumbling as he walked, "What's going on? You can't let me know."

On the other side, the servant sent Chi Xingyue to the gate of the courtyard where the maids lived: "Miss Chi, I will pick you up at noon tomorrow."

Chi Xingyue nodded: "Thank you, you've worked hard!"

Then he came to the front of the house and knocked hard twice before someone came to open the door: "You're back so late, who did you go out with?"

The maidservant in the same room glanced at the rather well-behaved servant not far away and said sarcastically, "The most important thing for this person is to recognize his own identity. He's clearly just an earthworm crawling on the ground, but he insists on reaching for the moon in the sky. Do you think you're worthy of this?"

Chi Xingyue smiled faintly: "You are right, I am only worthy of the bright moon in the sky, even the stars lack some of their brilliance."

The maidservant was choked and pointed at Chi Xingyue's nose and kept saying "you, you, you" for a long time. Finally, she said, "Go back to the kitchen and light the fire tomorrow. I've spoiled you!"

Chi Xingyue shook her head, fetched some water, and washed herself in the moonlight. Half an hour later, she finally lay down in bed.

The girl who was arguing with her was snoring evenly, but Chi Xingyue didn't feel sleepy at all.

The ancients, for all their good qualities, had one flaw: going to bed too early. It was past nine o'clock, and in her previous life, she would have been working overtime, but now everything was completely silent.

Chi Xingyue lay in bed, pondering today's conversation over and over, wondering if there were any omissions. After much thought, she felt okay and closed her eyes to pretend to doze.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach and remembered that she hadn't had dinner yet.

Alas, what a miserable life! How would she live without the golden finger?

My consciousness sank into the familiar private room. The food on the table was still steaming, but the melon rinds I had previously collected had disappeared, leaving only a few black seeds, scattered lonely beside the kettle.

Chi Xingyue was surprised. She hadn't thought the space could even digest garbage. Fortunately, she hadn't cleared out the seeds. Otherwise, she would have had to collect some more and become rich once things settled down.

Don’t say that modern seeds have genetic locks. With the ability of scientists, even if the seeds are degraded, the yield is reduced, and the fruit is unpalatable, they are still more delicious than the native species of this era.

Haven't you seen the tributes from the Qing Dynasty in documentaries? Only a small piece of red flesh was in the middle. Her 8424 is truly earth-shattering.

Chi Xingyue ignored the plate of 8424 and shifted his attention to other dishes.

Crispy roast duck, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, spicy crayfish, casserole with cabbage and tofu, sea bass stewed with millet, stir-fried meat with king oyster mushrooms, eggplant with fish flavor, stir-fried green beans, peanuts with old vinegar, yam and mutton soup, and a plate of steamed dumplings.

It looks like a lot, but the taste is very strong. Now the only thing that can quickly replenish energy is siomai.
