A year’s ti isn’t too short, yet not too long.
Days pass like flowing water, and before you blink, they’re gone, but this period is long enough for you to do quite a few things.
All the storage spaces inside the stone bead had been filled with miscellaneous items by Su Li, which were her spoils of war over the year.
Her ability to make money had increased manifold compared to the original owner, and the money she earned, apart from splurging on her enjoynt, was exchanged for supplies that filled the space inside the stone bead.
On the other hand, Su Li only cared about spending money as soon as she got it, actually what exactly she had purchased, and how much there was...
Truth be told, she wasn’t all that clear herself, just winging it.
After all, everything was done on the fly, even without these preparations, could she really not survive on the Otherworldly Continent?
Joke, she hadn’t even tasted bird at with three legs, who knows what the flesh of a giant monster would taste like.
Eh, thinking of this, she decided she must take advantage of the last bit of ti tomorrow to buy a batch of seasoning packs.
Even the tastiest ingredients sotis need the right spices to enhance the flavor.
In contrast to Su Li, Yuan Qingi, who hadn’t been in much contact with her, seed to be much busier.
She didn’t need to ask around much; gossip about Yuan Qingi had already spread on the streets.
For example, after breaking up with her wealthy boyfriend, Yuan Qingi’s breakup alimony was this figure...
The aunties sharing their gossip whispered and rubbed their fingers together, gesturing exaggeratedly with their hands.
"Eighty thousand?"
"No, eight hundred thousand... A real windfall, that couple from the Yuan Family is lucky to have such a capable daughter, they are set for the second half of their lives."
Those gossipy old ladies, with suggestive winks and envious words on their lips, had expressions that told a completely different story.
The Yuan Family, previously neighbors to Su Li, had already moved into the new apartnt arranged by Yuan Qingi.
In the past, soone as proud as Yuan Qingi would never have done sothing so gossiped about.
Now, well, she didn’t care...
She knew those old busybodies spoke ill of her, but just thinking about the upcoming convergence and the fact that these people would probably not even leave behind bones to find, her anger instantly turned to contemptuous pity.
They probably didn’t even realize their lives were already counting down.
In addition to this, Yuan Qingi not only maxed out her own credit cards but also blew through her parents’ credit cards.
Her house was adorned with all the luxury goods she had recently purchased.
It’s a pity though that these precious items could bring her only fleeting happiness and were about to beco useless.
While indulging in pleasures, Yuan Qingi was not so foolish when it ca to her mind.
She also underwent systematic physical training, since in her previous life, she had died in the jaws of a giant beast because she didn’t have the stamina and didn’t run fast enough.
The horrific pain of being pierced by sharp teeth, even thinking back on it made her tremble uncontrollably.
It was just too terrifying.
Even having gone through it once, the thought of soon having to face such a frightening world again still made her flinch.
Fortunately, this ti around, she knew what was most important to her.
She would never let Su Shi lead her astray again; with a steadfast guardian angel by her side, she didn’t believe she couldn’t survive in that world.
During the ti of her death, Yuan Qingi learned from Xiao Shang that after the most brutal survival of the fittest adaptation process, humans, as resilient as weeds, had begun to form organized societies.
Human wisdom is limitless; soday the terrible situation will be overturned.
So, they needed to keep hope alive.
Yuan Qingi firmly believed that as long as she chose the right person, this ti she would definitely persist until the establishnt of the Human Alliance.
Thinking of Su Shi, Yuan Qingi realized she hadn’t been in touch with him for a long ti, and it seed she hadn’t received any texts from him either?
Suddenly, she had a bad premonition and imdiately took out her phone to scroll through it several tis.
Indeed, it had been a long half year since they last t or contacted each other.
She had truly forgotten, but Su Shi couldn’t have, could he?
----------
After half a year, Su Li saw the person at her doorstep whom she didn’t want to see.
She was displeased, not only because she didn’t like this person’s appearance but more so because... her dominant personality, Su Shi, whom she had confined and which had beco quiet and resigned, started making a fuss the mont he saw Yuan Qingi.
He was causing trouble, wanting to co out and trying his hardest to wrestle control of the body from Su Li.
Yuan Qingi really was Su Shi’s dicine Pill; her clamoring in the Heart Realm gave Su Li a splitting headache.
How could he be so forgetful? Hadn’t countless painful lessons taught him to recognize the current situation?
Su Li frowned, and suddenly, a large hand manifested in the Heart Realm and slapped Su Shi on the head.
The slap sent Su Shi to the ground, his nose bleeding like a fountain, shooting straight up.
Su Shi looked terrible.
Had this truly happened to a person, they probably would have bled out and kicked the bucket.
But this was in the Heart Realm.
Other than Su Shi being slapped and becoming much more lethargic, the next second, his face miraculously returned to its original state.
Not a trace of bloody nose or palm print, not even a tiny red swollen bump.
"Shut up, or I’ll slap you again."
Su Shi, filled with indignation, quietly closed his mouth.
His spiritual power was much weaker compared to the secondary personality; if it weakened further, he might never regain the upper hand.
Once the dominant personality in the Heart Realm got the hint, Su Li finally had ti to address Yuan Qingi standing in front of her, saying, "What is it, you want to borrow money from again?"
"Nope, even if I did, I wouldn’t borrow."
Yuan Qingi had prepared a whole basket of words, but Su Li’s response blocked them all at her throat.
"Su Shi... you’re in a bad mood, aren’t you..."
Su Li gave Yuan Qingi a thorough up-and-down look.
Even if she got to do it all over again, and her experiences had grown a bit, her intelligence still hadn’t seed to progress.
She had said these exact words when she had first t her.
And now, despite having experienced the apocalypse and being a future version of herself, she still said the sa, self-righteous things.
"Yes, yes, yes, seeing you just puts in a bad mood, and I’ve only got so much money in my pocket, so spare these ’money babies’, they are innocent."
Ultimately, Su Li kept circling back to not lending money.
Yuan Qingi’s temper flared up, "It’s just so money, right? Whatever I borrowed, I changed it back for you, didn’t I? When did you beco so petty?"
"Oh wow, you’re actually calling petty..." Su Li imdiately got defensive, legs apart, one hand on her hip, and the other pointing at Yuan Qingi, ready to argue in the classic stance of a quarrelso woman.
