"Xiao Shi?!" The familiar voice from her mind instantly cleared Lin Jingge's unfocused eyes. She looked at the black mist that had suddenly appeared on her hands, completely bewildered.
In the interstellar world, everyone is born with a companion system that is bound to their soul.
For so many years, Lin Jingge had not received a response from Xiaoshi. She thought she would never meet it again, but unexpectedly, Xiaoshi followed her. However, due to a lack of energy, it was dormant in her sea of consciousness.
At this moment, Granny Lin's body was almost cracked open, and cracks were showing on her face.
Lin Jingge didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly said, "Xiao Shi, quickly save Grandma!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a flash of white light appeared before her eyes, and in an instant, Granny Lin disappeared from the spot.
"Where is Grandma?" Lin Jingge looked around the room but couldn't find Grandma Lin anywhere.
"Don't panic, Gege. I've put Grandma in my spatial dimension." Xiao Shi's voice rang in Lin Jingge's mind. "Now let's think about how to get out of here."
Upon hearing that Granny Lin had been rescued, Lin Jingge breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and began to think about how to escape.
"The energy flow of that formation seems to only exist around the perimeter. Xiao Shi, scan around and see if it's underground!"
After a short while, Xiao Shi concluded from scanning this energy collection: "There is none underground."
"Little Shi, are the excavating robots I put in my space still there? Let's go out from below."
"Yes, yes!" Xiao Zhi brought out the Space Digging Robot.
Fortunately, the robot still had its own power source, and it immediately started operating after receiving the instructions from Xiaozhi's control terminal.
Soon, a hole appeared in the ground that a person could pass through.
Just after Lin Jingge stepped into the cave, the burning roof tiles fell on the spot where she had just been. If she had been a second later, she would probably have been the one hit!
To avoid being discovered, Xiao Shi released another one.
One robot is in the front passage, and another is in the back, covering the passage.
After an unknown amount of time, the digging robot ran out of energy and stopped operating.
"GeGe, there's no one outside, go out." Xiao Shi put the robot back into her spatial storage.
After crawling out of the cave, the surroundings were completely quiet, as if the crackling sound of the fire was just an illusion.
The robot did an excellent job of cleaning up, unafraid of being chased. Lin Jingge, who had narrowly escaped death, sat at the cave entrance, panting heavily.
She's been pampered since childhood and has never walked on the ground before. She's exhausted after just a few steps.
Xiao Shi led Lin Jingge to a sparsely populated area, where towering trees grew everywhere and fireflies occasionally flew out.
At this moment, Lin Jingge had no mind to appreciate the scenery.
“Gege, I don’t have much of my essence left.”
Within the sea of consciousness, Xiaoshi's weak voice rang out.
Lin Jingge's heart tightened.
If the system runs out of energy, it can be restarted after being replenished. However, if the source of energy is exhausted, the system will disappear.
"I can't hold on any longer, Gege, be careful." Xiao Shi knew that she couldn't use her essence recklessly, so after resolving the matter, she immediately fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Jingge sat silently, trying to process her thoughts.
In the original story, after Chu Wang tricked the Lin family into giving him the Lin family's heirloom medicine book, he wanted to break off the engagement. The Lin family refused, and when the daughter of the city lord of Lingyun City found out, it led to his death.
But she was already willing to break off the engagement, and she even pretended to have been tricked by Chu Wang into giving her the pharmacopoeia, so why did things come to this?!
A mid-level Yellow Rank formation—only the city lord's daughter could pull off such a grand feat. After all the twists and turns, the plot has come full circle. The only difference is that she and Granny Lin escaped death and barely survived.
Before falling asleep, Xiao Shi transmitted the scanned map of the surrounding area into Lin Jingge's mind.
This place is not far from Wildflower Village and Lingyun City. Those people will definitely not let it go until they find her and Grandma's bodies in the ruins.
Thinking of this, Lin Jingge opened her spatial storage, took out her usual disguise items, and fiddled with them on her face for a while before finally concealing her appearance.
The Lin family in Wildflower Village made such a commotion last night, but it didn't wake up anyone else in the village. As a result, the news that the Lin family had been punished by heaven and burned to ruins by heavenly fire spread throughout Wildflower Village in an instant.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Chu Wang finally arrived with his entourage, albeit late.
"How could it have turned out like this?!" Chu Wang stared in disbelief at the ruins before him.
A beautiful woman followed behind him. When she saw Chu Wang's expression, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes. She then stepped forward to comfort him.
"Please accept my condolences." The woman placed her soft, boneless hand on Chu Wang's shoulder and patted it gently.
Seeing Chu Wang's expression, some villagers thought he was loyal and righteous, while a few thought he was crocodile tears and feigning compassion.
"Miss, no remains have been found." The people the woman brought had searched the ruins thoroughly, but found nothing.
"Impossible!" Upon hearing the servant's report, the woman instinctively retorted.
"We searched several times, but we really couldn't find the Lin family grandfather and grandson," the servant patiently replied again.
The master and servant were speaking quite loudly, and the villagers nearby, overhearing their conversation, instinctively chimed in: "I'm afraid the heavenly fire was too powerful, burning the Lin family grandfather and grandson to ashes. That was heavenly fire." one villager remarked.
"I wonder what Granny Lin did to attract heavenly fire," someone in the crowd sighed.
On a hillside not far from Wildflower Village, Lin Jingge peeked out from behind a tree, coldly looking at the ruins of the Lin family and the dark mass of people standing beside them.
Her gaze finally settled on the beautiful woman who was very close to Chu Wang, almost touching him.
For some reason, looking at that woman made Lin Jingge's arm ache slightly.
On her right arm was a long scar. Grandma Lin said it was from when someone removed her spiritual root; unless she regained it, there was no way to restore her arm.
Perhaps because her gaze was too direct, the woman subconsciously turned around and looked in Lin Jingge's direction, but she didn't see anyone.
Lin Jingge had already hidden behind the ancient tree before the woman turned around.
She walked to Lingyun City, intending to enter the city first and then make plans, but found that there were guards at the city gate, as if they were looking for someone.
She gave a cold laugh and turned to go elsewhere.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
After recuperation, Grandma Lin is now able to get out of bed.
She used her remaining silver to buy a dilapidated house in Qingyun Village and settled down there with Granny Lin.
Perhaps the most dangerous places are the safest, because I stayed in Qingyun Village, a village on the outskirts of Lingyun City, and was not found by anyone.
Of course, it's also possible that Heaven has already let her, someone who is outside the plot, go free.
