CHAPTER 329: CHAPTER 70: SILVER LAKE WATERS

Xiao Xian’s first thought upon regaining consciousness was to blankly stare at the hospital’s stark white ceiling, and the second was to smack and lick her lips.

Her lips felt a bit swollen, and looking around, she wondered why she was still in the hospital; her gaze swept to Zhuo Feng, who had collapsed on the bed.

Hearing the commotion from the hospital bed, Zhuo Feng woke up in alarm.

"Xiao Xian? Xiao Xian! You scared me to death, how did you end up from being fine in the emergency room to out on the hospital lawn?" Zhuo Feng was nearly scared to death by Xiao Xian’s strange episode. When the firefighters pried open the emergency room door and found it empty, Zhuo Feng fainted from the shock.

It wasn’t until the next morning that Zhuo Feng awoke, hearing from Feng Xing, who was staying by the bedside, that Xiao Xian had been found on the hospital lawn. By the time she was found, her high fever had also subsided.

"Was I always here, Auntie?" Xiao Xian twisted her neck, feeling no discomfort whatsoever in her body, which was infused with a new vitality, making her feel unusually comfortable all over.

Zhuo Feng hesitated. The emergency room was on the second floor—not too high—but the attending doctor also said that when Xiao Xian was brought into the emergency room, she was in a semiconscious state. In that state, one might do things beyond human imagination, and just below the emergency room was the lawn.

"You’ve been here the whole time," Zhuo Feng decided to mask the brief disappearance to avoid any unease for Xiao Xian.

This time, Xiao Xian didn’t leave the hospital after just two days as before. Instead, under Zhuo Feng’s coercion, she stayed until school reopened and had a thorough check-up before leaving the hospital.

During this time, Xiao Xian also went to look for Zhou Ziang, only to hear that he had been discharged on the evening of her first release.

Had his injuries healed? With such doubts, Xiao Xian returned home.

During the time of her second hospitalization, quite a few things happened. Two of those both shocked and delighted Xiao Xian.

The Daffodil cultivated jointly by Bai Juyi and Mei Xiang was ultimately selected as the foremost among the top ten famous flowers at this year’s Winter International Flower Exhibition. As a participant, Zhuo Feng received ten thousand yuan in prize money and also obtained forty-eight hours of horticulture lessons taught by expert-level gardeners.

During the days in the hospital, Xiao Xian was adjusting the Spiritual Energy in her body, not realizing that her space had been upgraded until she entered it again. When she stepped into the space once more, she almost thought she had entered the wrong one.

It took quite an effort to adjust the Cloud Ascension Technique, but Xiao Xian finally managed to steady herself on the seemingly boundless water.

"White Flood Dragon, come out," Xiao Xian looked around for Little White Jiao and the sugarcane seedling.

During her time of grave illness and unconsciousness, the situation in the space had changed far more than her own condition. With a few splashes, the White Flood Dragon frolicked carelessly in the water, flicking its tale with a Jiao Long sway and leaping like performing the Dragon Gate leap, playing to its heart’s content.

"If you don’t stop, I’ll skin you of your Jiao Dragon tendon," Xiao Xian had not read ’Journey to the West,’ but she had heard the story of Ne Zha. Out of nowhere, her space now had a lake, and with a few splashes from the White Flood Dragon, she got splattered with water. The water felt icy on the skin and didn’t seem to dry.

"Little master, you’re awake. They say one has restless dreams in spring, I thought you were going to sleep till daybreak," Xiao Xian discovered today that Xiao Bai Jiao was actually a lustful dragon, speaking in a tone as sleazy as one could be.

"What blessings of beauty, how did the space turn into this? You better not have made this pond," after entering Beijing City, Xiao Bai had become a pitiful Jiao confined to various artificial water ponds, wanting to perform Cloud Formation and Rainfall in the space several times. Unfortunately, no matter how many "space rains" it precipitated, the soil in the space never seemed to get moistened or soften.

Before Xiao Xian’s holiday, it was alright since Sacred Heart Middle School had an artificial lake where Xiao Bai could roll around in the dead of night and snatch a few snails or carp for a snack.

Ever since Xiao Xian went on winter break, Xiao Bai had a careless slip-up, bathing in a well-known university’s Sorrows Lake, and was discovered by a college couple on a midnight date. After making the morning newspapers the next day, Xiao Xian grounded it.

Now, though, it was satisfying to imagine that upgrading from a copper space to a Silver-grade Space brought such a benefit; the entire space turned into a vast lake with no end in sight.

"Are you saying that after the space upgraded, it turned into this big lake? And the sugarcane seedling? Don’t let it be washed away by the flood," Xiao Xian hurriedly searched over the water surface.
