Jiang Xiaoxiao returned.
That night, she waited until Jia Shu was asleep and went to the mystical space by herself.
Since it was her spiritual power going, even if Jia Shu woke up, she wouldn’t notice anything unusual.
Upon entering the space, Jiang Xiaoxiao was greatly startled.
If you could call the original space a space, it was still just a very small one.
But unexpectedly, upon entering this ti, she discovered significant changes in the space.
The spring that used to be there had transford into a waist-deep creek.
The fertile land now split into five sections.
The land area with peach trees had changed greatly.
One tree still had 12 peaches.
But now the peaches looked entirely different from when she first saw them.
Each was about the size of a fist, glistening and rosy, particularly charming.
Especially the fragrance they emitted, which was even better than the taste of the peach she ate the first ti.
The problem was the re scent itself nearly overwhelming her with the desire to devour one.
This fragrance seed to develop a strong allure.
Not only were they different, but two additional pieces of land appeared.
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt a bit dazed; up until now, she hadn’t figured out how exactly this space upgraded.
From one piece of land initially to three pieces later, and now five, she still didn’t know the pattern.
What she knew was from those three pieces to five.
The most peculiar event was suddenly sleeping for three days and nights. Could it be that the space’s upgrade is sohow related to her?
Moreover, there had been considerable changes in the space; originally, besides the creek and the surrounding land, everything was shrouded in mist, rendering nothing visible.
But now there was a change; as more land appeared, the surrounding scenery suddenly beca faintly visible, and the mist thinned considerably.
A sense of glittering gold light could be felt, likely far from her current location.
What exactly was this golden light?
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt a relentless itch in her heart.
She tried once more to reach through the mist into its depths but couldn’t succeed.
It seed this space had its natural laws; unless she completed an upgrade, expanding it bit by bit,
she had no way to understand what lies within this space.
Jiang Xiaoxiao returned to her peach tree, gloomily sighing; the peaches on the tree were vastly different from the ones she first encountered. Just looking at these peaches, she knew they were nothing like the peach she ate at first.
There was already a significant difference.
She picked one with the decision to try it out regardless—surely it can’t be a bad thing.
The peaches before were capable of curing all ailnts.
With the space upgraded, even if these peaches can’t cure all ailnts, they shouldn’t harm the body, right?
The mont she bit into it, it was sweet as honey.
This taste seed utterly unmatched by anything she ever ate across both past and present lives.
This flavor was likely one of a kind.
It was truly delicious.
After finishing, Jiang Xiaoxiao felt relaxed and then...nothing!
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn’t accept it; nothing?
She exited the space directly.
There really wasn’t anything special.
Jiang Xiaoxiao lay there for a long ti, recalling when she ate it the first ti, black gri exuded from her body.
This ti, there was not even black mud.
Just a warm feeling all over, an enveloping warmth akin to spiritual energy, bringing comfort throughout her body.
What is this?
Jiang Xiaoxiao wouldn’t accept defeat; she stood up and went outside.
The peaches can’t just be rely like this.
She contemplated gloomily; she wasn’t ill, she couldn’t find an illness to cure.
This wasn’t the best way to experint.
An idea struck Jiang Xiaoxiao.
She headed straight to the kitchen.
Found a vegetable knife to cut herself and test.
This counted as a type of ailnt, right?
She barely nicked her skin when the knife cut.
"Jiang Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"
The voice startled Jiang Xiaoxiao, making her hands tremble.
The vegetable knife fell to the ground.
Then, Song Moting and He Aiguo appeared in a hurry.
Song Moting glanced at the knife on the floor while He Aiguo continued reprimanding as he took off his coat.
"Look at yourself! Going out in just a thin sweater and not even a coat, what kind of weather is it now? What if you catch a cold? No wonder your brother asks to take care of you; you’re also too careless."
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at herself, indeed, wearing just a thin sweater. Here the temperature must be at least minus thirty degrees.
But surprisingly, she didn’t feel cold at all.
No sense of chill whatsoever.
Uh...
Jiang Xiaoxiao thought numbly, could it be that the peach mutated?
And gave a warming function?
Impossible!
The warming effect seems quite useless, not as good as curing all ailnts.
Could I have upgraded, losing my advantages?
No place to cry over it if that’s the case.
Then her eyes fell upon her arm.
A look of fright entered her eyes.
Song Moting noticed sothing amiss.
A coat landed on Jiang Xiaoxiao’s shoulder first,
"Brother He is right, you really make people worry."
Song Moting’s coat settled on her.
Blocking He Aiguo on one side.
Seeing the coat in his hand, He Aiguo noticed Song Moting with a thin sweater, not much better himself.
Never mind.
He realized that Song Moting felt differently towards Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Being n, he could faintly sense Song Moting’s unusual feelings toward Jiang Xiaoxiao.
"I’m fine; I’ll head back to sleep. Couldn’t fall asleep earlier, so I ca out for a stroll, probably due to too much sleep during the day."
Jiang Xiaoxiao turned hastily and walked away.
Without acknowledging them.
Leaving them behind.
He Aiguo noted Jiang Xiaoxiao usually wasn’t this forthright.
"Let’s head back! She seems fine."
Song Moting nudged He Aiguo.
He Aiguo shivered slightly.
"You should hurry too, lest you catch a cold!"
He quickly ran back.
Song Moting picked up the vegetable knife, placing it back where it belonged.
What was Jiang Xiaoxiao doing with the vegetable knife?
Running to the kitchen with the knife in the middle of the night!
He suddenly noticed what seed to be bloodstains on the knife.
Song Moting’s heart sank.
Quietly cleaned up and then returned.
Passing by Jiang Xiaoxiao’s dormitory, it was quiet inside.
Song Moting pondered briefly before returning to sleep.
Jiang Xiaoxiao lay in bed, now unable to sleep at all.
By the moonlight, she looked left and right, but her arm appeared smooth as jade, not a single trace left.
She distinctly rembered cutting a wound, though she hadn’t the heart to cut deeply due to pain, but it had indeed broken.
There was even blood.
Now, her arm was clear.
Anyone would know this arm had nothing wrong.
As if it was all an illusion.
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt a spark inside; the peach not only had a warming effect but could still cure all ailnts.
aning the original effect was curing all ailnts, now rely with an added feature.
Instantly restoring wounds to their original state.
Excitent surged within her.
She realized she hadn’t examined this thoroughly enough.
Was this wound restoration achieved by just one peach? Or could a single bite suffice???
That was the key point.
Jiang Xiaoxiao stealthily got up, wearing only a sweater as she reached the outer door, then slipped into the kitchen quietly.
A decisive slice with the knife.
This ti, it cut deeper.
The recovery was fast enough for her to see with the naked eye; almost within a minute.
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt disappointed that she forgot she had eaten an entire peach, logically, the effect hadn’t worn off.
The best thod would be to wait until the peach’s effects wore off before experinting again.
Then sothing seed off.
In the dead of night, as temperatures dropped to their lowest, she’d usually walk around tightly bundled against the cold.
That morning when returning, she was shivering.
The temperatures then were warr than now.
Yet now when the cold wind blew, it was just passing by, nothing special.
No chill embraced her.
It was rely warm.
Could the peach even serve as warmth?
Or was it just her illusion?
It truly posed a troubleso puzzle.
She had to unravel this mystery.
