Chapter 417: Welcome to my space!

Lu Qiao stood before the window, unmoving, her back stiff and solemn.

Qin Hengzhi looked at her silhouette, silently pursed his lips, and then asked softly, "Do you need my help?"

Lu Qiao shook her head: "No."

That meant it was help he could not provide.

A faint sense of loss welled up in his heart, but Qin Hengzhi still continued to ask softly, "Are you leaving?"

Lu Qiao shook her head again: "Not leaving."

She did not need him to intervene, but she would not leave either.

Qin Hengzhi smiled, his voice gentler than ever before: "The cafeteria has braised pork and shredded potatoes with vinegar and chili for lunch today. I'll go get the food, and we can eat here at noon, is that okay?"

Lu Qiao was actually burning with anxiety inside, but she knew that being anxious right now was useless. Among a thousand thoughts, the strongest one was: If only the space could have upgraded sooner and taken them in earlier, how wonderful that would have been.

Hearing Qin Hengzhi's words, she turned around and nodded in agreement: "Alright, let's eat here at noon."

Qin Hengzhi glanced at Lu Qiao, walked up, reached out to ruffle her hair, and then his gaze swept over a certain spot on the windowsill as if by chance.

Little Cangcang did not expect the little master's partner to have such sharp eyes, accurately capturing the spot where it was staying.

Clearly, it had not intended for Qin Hengzhi to discover it, yet the other party had still found it.

Qin Hengzhi put on his coat, wrapped his scarf around his neck, and pushed the door open to leave. And just after he left, Lu Qiao felt the space tremble slightly once more.

There was no time to think it through; she could only follow her intuition.

At this moment, Lu Qiao finally realized one thing: the two precious polar gems Qin Hengzhi had given her were actually related to her space's upgrade.

Lu Qiao's mind stirred, and her whole body flashed into the space, appearing in her treasure pavilion the next moment.

Rows of gems were neatly arranged on the shelf on the west side. She gently placed the two polar gems on the shelf.

At this very instant, the entire space was like light and shadow cast into water, ripples spreading out in layers, and like pebbles falling into a calm lake, causing circles of colorful flowing light to ripple outward.

Lu Qiao understood that the space was about to upgrade.

She watched helplessly as the gems collected from the basement of the house north of the city, the gold nuggets and gold dust, the agate fished out from the Yuanbao Mountain, the diamonds from the church basement, the dozens of largest pearls brought back from the ocean, and several brightly colored corals all turned into powder, then rose into the air from nothing, and after a few breaths, intertwined and merged in the air.

The next moment, everything went black before her eyes, and Lu Qiao was violently ejected from the space.

Little Cangcang had already quietly flown into the room from the hallway.

It had just watched the little master's figure disappear, and after about a minute, she suddenly appeared before the window again.

It did not understand what had happened, only staring blankly at Lu Qiao.

Lu Qiao extended her finger, let Little Cangcang land, and urged urgently: "What else is there? Tell me everything."

【The big shark wants to save the little bluefin, it has been ramming that big ship, and now its head is covered in blood... but those people said they are going to use the most advanced fishing equipment to catch it, and now I don't know how it is.】

The little dolphin and the giant sea turtle were helpless; they could only hide in the coral reef, not daring to come out. But when I arrived, I heard the giant sea turtle and the little dolphin saying they wanted to bite the fishing net. They said they were friends, and even if they were caught, they wanted to be together.】

Little Cangcang's voice grew lower and lower; these little friends of different species had long been as close as family, and it did not want to lose any of them.

But the distance was too great, with thousands of mountains and rivers and the vast ocean in between.

Even if the little master were given an hour to rush there, it might not be in time.

In one hour, that big ship would have long since sailed away.

Little Cangcang stopped speaking. If it could shed tears, it would certainly be weeping right now.

Its little claws were rubbing unconsciously, and it, who was always glib-tongued, could not say a single word at this moment.

Lu Qiao's fingers gently stroked the top of its head.

The little fellow had rushed back with all its might; one could see it was much weaker than it had been in the morning.

Standing before the window, she happened to see Qin Hengzhi, with his hands in the pockets of his down jacket, walking away unhurriedly without looking back; he was deliberately leaving space for her.

It was also at this moment that Lu Qiao felt the space upgrade was complete. Without a second thought, she flashed into it again.

The space had completely changed its appearance, and before she could even look closely, she heard Little Cang's ecstatic shout:

【Little master, little master! Heavens, I followed you in! Is this your space? Is it? Is it? Is it?】

Lu Qiao looked at the space, which was completely different from before, and was also stunned.

At this time, Little Cangcang was still perched on her fingertip, then it realized what was happening, flapped its wings, and flew up.

Before her eyes, there were no longer green grasslands and the bright Red Star Lake.

Underfoot was a stretch of silvery-white fine sand, to the right was the boundless ocean, to the left was a lake, and she was standing between the two, as if placed in the center of a huge Bagua diagram.

Lu Qiao had no time to ponder why the space had become like this or where the original space had gone.

She concentrated all her intent on one point and silently recited in her heart: Bluefin tuna, big shark, little dolphin, sea turtle, hairtail, jellyfish... Collect!

The next moment, several splashes erupted from the originally calm sea surface.

Lu Qiao looked forward and couldn't help but smile.

Great!

She had actually managed to take the big shark and the others in from ten thousand miles away!

The big shark and the bluefin tuna, having suddenly changed locations, were both stunned.

The little bluefin thought it had already been caught into the ship's hold and cried out sadly: 【I already told you to go, why didn't you go? Why did you all follow me in?】

Just now, at the last moment, the big sea turtle and the little dolphin and the others stopped hiding and all ran out, jumping up to bite the fishing net, but it was no use; the big shark couldn't even bite through the fishing net, let alone them.

Wasn't this being caught in one fell swoop?

Wuwuwu.

The little bluefin wept silently.

The little dolphin, who didn't know what was going on, also swam over in shock: 【Ah ah ah, have we been caught in the fish hold?】

Both the jellyfish and the hairtail felt they were too incompetent, but being able to die together was also quite good.

The big sea turtle suddenly turned its head and shouted: 【Look, look, little master!】

The big shark and the little bluefin and the others all looked toward Lu Qiao, who was standing on the beach.

The sky here was very blue, bright without a sun, and clusters of white clouds hung in the sky as if frozen.

The big ship was already gone.

So, where was this?

When did the little master come?

How did she save them?

Countless questions swirled in the little fellows' minds.

Little Huacai and the purple whistling thrush, who had been waiting anxiously on the shore, had originally landed on the beach.

At first, they didn't notice, thinking they were dizzy with anxiety, but soon realized something was wrong: they had clearly been perched on a coconut tree, so how had they fallen? Where was the coconut tree?

Immediately after, they saw the little master looking at them with a smile not far away, and turning their heads again, they saw the big shark and the little bluefin and the others swimming toward this side.

Could it be that the little master had come to save them?

But this was too fast; they hadn't seen her come over at all!

"Little master! Little master!"

The two beautiful birds flew eagerly toward Lu Qiao.

The big shark and the others also swam to the shore, all staring blankly at Lu Qiao for a moment, clearly not expecting her to be able to save them from ten thousand miles away so quickly.

Lu Qiao extended her hand, her smile warm and bright, and said loudly: 【My little cuties, welcome to my space!】
