CHAPTER 1851: CHAPTER 1787: JUST THIS ONE BET

With this idea, she immediately beamed with joy.

She had gained a tremendous advantage.

It seemed that this trip to Bai Gu Mountain was indeed the right decision.

However, this time the good fortune was thanks to Meng Xinian.

"Look, is this the Magu Vine?"

Chiang Xiao looked in the direction Meng Xinian pointed, seeing two twin trees growing together, with a green vine as thick as a finger growing diagonally from the trunk.

"Yes, that’s it!"

Chiang Xiao was overjoyed and hugged his arm, "Brother Xinian, you really have great luck!"

This time, it was he who found the Ginseng and also the Magu Vine!

"How do we get it? Should we pull the whole root out?"

Chiang Xiao shook her head and said, "No need, just cut a section, it’s so much. This thing only needs two or three small slices at a time to stew. If we plant it in the Space, I reckon even one slice at a time would be enough."

So, such a long section, who knows how long it will last.

Meng Xinian took a knife and went over to cut off the long exposed section of the vine.

After finding the Magu Vine, nightfall descended completely.

In the deep mountains, even having a flashlight was of no use now.

So they entered the Space, planning to wait until dawn to continue searching.

Chiang Xiao went to plant the Magu Vine, Meng Xinian went to take a bath.

While bathing in the restroom, he suddenly thought that having this Space was truly great.

If not, they would have to spend the night in the dense mountain forest, staying outside—damp, dirty, uncomfortable—and that’s not to mention the danger of poisonous insects, snakes, ants, and possibly wild beasts lurking around any corner.

But now they were in the deep mountains and could wash up comfortably in such a bright and cozy place, cook meals later, and sleep comfortably in a bed with blankets at night.

This Space was truly a heaven-sent treasure.

The more he realized the treasure that Space was, the more he worried Chiang Xiao might expose it.

If this Space were exposed, Chiang Xiao would be in absolute danger, and he might not even be able to protect her.

So, after his bath, Meng Xinian began reminding Chiang Xiao again, urging her to keep the secret of Space well.

Seeing his serious expression, Chiang Xiao dared not joke around.

"Brother Xinian, I understand, I will definitely not disclose it."

In the previous life, with only the Magic Brush and no Space, she had met a tragic end. In this life, if the Space were exposed, it might not just be a simple tragic death.

Death might even become a luxury.

As for human nature and the human heart, she dared not gamble.

The only gamble she made was on Meng Xinian.

Luckily, she won the bet.

Luckily, he did not let her down.

Thinking of this, Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but lean over and give Meng Xinian a kiss on the cheek.

"Hm?"

Suddenly receiving a kiss made Meng Xinian’s eyes darken.

Seeing things were off, Chiang Xiao immediately dashed off, "I’ll go take a bath too, Brother Xinian, you go cook."

Meng Xinian watched her flee faster than a rabbit and couldn’t help but smile.

Think you can run?

The night is still so long.

And that night, he made Chiang Xiao fully understand the meaning of having no escape.

Afterwards, slightly panting, he embraced Chiang Xiao, gave her a kiss on the lips, and hoarsely said, "Little, shall we make a countdown schedule?"

Chiang Xiao, exhausted from his teasing, still with a blush on her face, weakly asked, "What do you mean?"

"Counting down to the sixth day of the first lunar month, how many days are left. That kind of countdown."

Understanding what he meant, Chiang Xiao rolled her eyes.

He had his mind set entirely on the sixth day of the first lunar month now.
