CHAPTER 358: CHAPTER 333: LEISHAN OF QIANZHONG

Yu Xiaolian had a sudden flash of inspiration, remembering that Miao Yingyao had mentioned someone named Bai Qingdai, and quickly asked Su Jingchen, "That... the Princess Consort Dai in the palace, isn’t she called Bai Qingdai?"

Su Jingchen nodded, "Do you know her?"

Yu Xiaolian shook her head, "Don’t know her, but I heard Miao Yingyao mention her.

By the way, Miao Yingyao once said that the Witch Clan’s hidden abode is deep in Leishan, central Qian."

Su Jingchen studied the map carefully and said, "If we set off tomorrow, it’ll take half a month to reach central Qian."

Half a month, Yu Xiaolian felt quite content; it’s certainly better than spending two to three months going to Linzhou.

"What do we do when we get there?" Yu Xiaolian decided to be a carefree fangirl, not wanting to use her brain at all. After all, she had the top strategist of Great Liang by her side, so why should she overwork her brain cells?

Who knows, thinking too much might deplete her brain cells, and then get vetoed by everyone, how embarrassing would that be?

She could totally leave the thinking to Su Jingchen.

Seeing Yu Xiaolian’s expectant look, Su Jingchen reached out to pat her head and casually tucked the stray hair on her forehead behind her ear, "Didn’t I say, we’ll dress up as bounty hunters."

Yu Xiaolian was puzzled, "So we’re not going directly to Leishan?"

Su Jingchen nodded, "Of course not, we can’t go in headlong.

We’ll observe the situation first and then decide what to do next."

Yu Xiaolian nodded, "Oh!"

This was Su Jingchen’s second time entering Yu Xiaolian’s space, and he was endlessly curious about everything here.

"Can I take a look around here?" Su Jingchen asked.

Yu Xiaolian nodded, "Feel free, take whatever you want to eat!"

Su Jingchen strolled to the supermarket’s snack aisle and picked up a box of chocolates, examining it carefully from the front to the back of the package.

As he expected, these things had manufacturers, but from places he didn’t know, could this origin possibly be the Dimensional Space mentioned in the Buddhist Scripture?

Su Jingchen noticed many things in the supermarket that were sold at Zhenpin Pavilion, and couldn’t help but ask, "These things are quite rare, how could you bear to sell them?"

Yu Xiaolian, standing before Su Jingchen, picked up an orange from the fruit shelf, peeled it, and ate it. When she reached the last segment, she called Su Jingchen to look, "Watch closely!"

After Yu Xiaolian swallowed the last segment of the orange, the shelf visibly replenished with another orange.

Previously, her space would update the items after midnight, but ever since it upgraded by consuming her fifty thousand taels, the food area started to update in real-time.

Su Jingchen was stunned into disbelief, recovering his voice after a long moment, "You can put back things you’ve eaten?"

Yu Xiaolian shook her head, "Not me, it’s the room, everything in this room is in a static restoration state, once eaten or used, they return to their original state after some time."

Yu Xiaolian pulled Su Jingchen to where she kept crabs, picking one up, "See, this crab was bought three years ago at Bohai City’s dock; it’s still alive now. Look, there are water droplets on its shell; it remains as it was when it came in, without eating or drinking, nor will it die."

Su Jingchen felt completely mystified, suddenly noticing a cool sensation from the cabinet behind him. He turned to touch the transparent lid, asking Yu Xiaolian, "What is this thing? Why is it cold?"

Yu Xiaolian opened the door of the ice cream display case, "This thing is called a refrigerator; it cools things. When items are placed inside, they freeze, making storage better without melting.

Want to eat an ice cream?"

Yu Xiaolian wasn’t in the mood to eat now, having just finished an orange; she didn’t want anything else.

Su Jingchen nodded, "How do you eat it?"

Yu Xiaolian giggled, taking out a pure milk ice cream, removing the wrapper, and handing it to Su Jingchen, "Eat it with your mouth!"

Su Jingchen tentatively bit a small piece, the ice cream melted instantly, filling his mouth with a mild milk aroma, brightening his eyes, "Delicious!"

Yu Xiaolian chuckled, feeling unexpectedly like she was amusing a son; who knows if Su Jingchen understood her thoughts, would he jump up and K her?

"The space you lived in before, is it a Future World?"

Su Jingchen knew Yu Xiaolian wasn’t the original Yu Xiaolian. Initially, he thought she was a soul transmigrator, but now he believed Yu Xiaolian was from another dimensional space mentioned in the Buddhist Scripture, surely better than here.

"I’m indeed from a few thousand years ahead, this space we’re in now is my family’s supermarket, equivalent to a grocery store in this world."

"Why did you come here? What happened to the previous Yu Xiaolian?" Su Jingchen asked while eating the ice cream.

Yu Xiaolian sighed, "In River Bay Village, we have an old woman named Aunt Hao, you know her? She’s the one who brought me here; after bringing me, she couldn’t send me back. As for the original Yu Xiaolian, whether she died or swapped bodies with me, I don’t know."

Su Jingchen nodded; he knew Aunt Hao because River Bay and nearby children often went to her for talismanic water for minor ailments, but she was supposedly an amateur. Who knew she had such skills?

Su Jingchen thought Yu Xiaolian had divine abilities to come to this world, not realizing it was involuntary.

"Do you want to go back to your original world?"

"Sigh, I want to go back, but the problem is I can’t!"

Su Jingchen fell silent.

After a while, he continued, "If there were a chance to return, you’d leave without hesitation, right?"

At this moment, Yu Xiaolian finally realized there was something wrong with Su Jingchen.

Yu Xiaolian slapped her forehead, feeling regretful.

Oh dear, she should never have said the truth.

The truth is, if given the chance, she would indeed leave without hesitation.

It’s not that she’s heartless; compared to Su Jingchen, her biological parents are infinitely more important, and she’d surely choose to return to them.

There’s simply no comparison, okay!

Though Yu Xiaolian didn’t answer, Su Jingchen seemed to understand, "Send me out!"

Yu Xiaolian wanted to comfort Su Jingchen but didn’t know how to start. Saying she didn’t want to go back would be a lie, claiming he’s more important than her parents would also be false.

Yu Xiaolian felt saying such deceitful words would be worse than saying nothing.

Yu Xiaolian took Su Jingchen back to their room at the inn.

The two remained silent.

Su Jingchen waited for a while, seeing Yu Xiaolian remain mute; angrily, he pulled the door and left.

Yu Xiaolian sighed, quarreling with her boyfriend on their first outing day; she’s really not cut out for romance.
