Chapter 108: My own Tangyuan really is a lucky cat!

"Ahchoo."

Shen Man changed the water for the sea snails and crabs in the basin, and while flipping the kelp on the rope, she sneezed repeatedly.

She just had a feeling, an ominous premonition.

Never mind, anyway the letter has already been sent via someone; after a while it'll reach that scumbag father's hands, and there'll be another good show to watch.

"Meow."

Tangyuan busied herself in the space for a while, tidying up the fruits, vegetables, and lotus pond in an orderly manner.

She was hungry and wanted to eat egg cake.

The next second, the master came in.

"If you want to eat egg cake, go ahead; there are also almond pastries and mung bean cakes—try them."

Shen Man pinched the time to enter the space; calculating, her husband still had two hours before getting off work, still early, so she went into the space to take a look—no problem.

"Thank you, Master."

In the space, Tangyuan, as an artifact spirit, is much more agile than when she's outside.

Shen Man unpacked the pastries and placed them on the table, indicating Tangyuan could eat whatever she wanted.

She, meanwhile, took a jade bottle to go get spiritual liquid.

The spiritual liquid's effect on nourishing the lotus and the space's spiritual energy is obvious.

The fish fry originally put into the lotus pond are now palm-sized; as their tails sway, their scales glisten, looking very beautiful.

"Tangyuan, are the fish and shrimp in the lotus pond growing faster than those outside?"

"Of course, Master; the lotus pond contains spiritual liquid, and the fish and shrimp growing there not only grow much faster, but their meat quality is worlds apart from those grown outside."

Simply put, the fish and shrimp from the lotus pond have a strengthening effect when eaten, and their texture is a hundred times better than ordinary fish and shrimp outside.

"So, let's make a deal, Tangyuan: each week I can catch some fish and shrimp to give to my grandfather and Section Commander Duan and them for a private meal, okay?"

"Of course; everything in the space is yours, Master."

"No, everything in the space is ours."

Shen Man said seriously, she isn't particularly diligent; the fact that everything in the space is kept in perfect order is entirely thanks to Tangyuan's efforts.

She couldn't even imagine how chaotic she'd be without Tangyuan.

Tangyuan nibbled two bites of egg cake, feeling a bit embarrassed from the master's praise, and couldn't help patting her little chest with her paws, proudly saying:

"Master, once I become stronger, I'll be able to help you hunt for treasure and also replicate the space's storage function."

"Treasure hunting? Replicating the space's storage function? Could you elaborate on those two?"

Shen Man was surprised for a few seconds, then quickly accepted this setting.

Tangyuan is a space artifact spirit; her very existence is already heaven-defying.

Having a bit of supernatural ability isn't surprising, right?

"Master, we artifact spirits are innately inclined toward treasure hunting—namely, raw jade stones and gold mines—we have a natural affinity for them; as long as our energy is ample, I can sense mineral veins."

"Unfortunately, my current energy is limited; I can only sense faint spiritual energy—for example, the beads on your wrist, Master, are polished from a medium-quality jade raw stone."

Tangyuan patiently explained, using a way the master could understand.

"As for replicating the space's storage function, it's actually just cutting off a portion of the space's energy and maintaining the storage function before the energy dissipates."

"Energy? Can I understand it as spiritual energy or spiritual power?"

Shen Man unconsciously touched the pearl bracelet on her wrist, roughly able to understand Tangyuan's explanation.

"Yes, you can understand it that way."

Tangyuan nodded firmly, picked up a piece of almond pastry, and began to nibble it.

The spiritually charged items left by the ancestors are dwindling, and finally only the immortal lotus in the lotus pond remains—a heavenly treasure that can produce spiritual liquid to replenish the space's spiritual energy.

It, too, having long failed to absorb sufficient spiritual energy, has shrunk in form and now degenerated to the size of a cat.

If it hadn't met the master, or a big shot, it wouldn't now be able to transform and leave the space to bask in the sun.

"In other words, if you absorb the purple qi from Brother Jiang Ye's body, then cultivate and grow a bit more, you'll have the corresponding energy to do treasure hunting, and you can also carve out a portion of the space's area to sustain this storage function for a while, right?"

Shen Man smiled, her own Tangyuan truly is a lucky cat!

"Yes, that's right; I can absorb the big shot's purple qi, and after absorbing it for two more days, I'll be able to hunt for treasure, or replicate part of the space's storage function."

"However, to replicate it, I need a vessel."

Tangyuan nodded firmly; as a space artifact spirit, she can in principle do this, but once the spiritual power on the vessel disappears, the storage function will vanish.

Whatever is stored will naturally return to the main space.

"That's kind of interesting."

After hearing Tangyuan's explanation, Shen Man roughly had a grasp of these two unlocked abilities in her mind.

She had a premonition that Lu Manman would not easily give up the jade token space!

She couldn't rule out that this destined female protagonist might be a reborn person; just in case, she had to prepare herself for the other party to come looking for trouble at any moment!

"Tangyuan, can you conjure up a space jade token? I want to use the space jade token as a vessel......."

"This, give me a few days; I'll try it out."

Seeing the master's ill-intentioned smile, Tangyuan's mood also brightened.

Now it's the turn of that certain person rushing over on the train to sneeze nonstop...

"Ahchoo."

Lu Manman sat in the seat near the aisle; inside sat a middle-aged woman wearing a green headscarf, and opposite her was an elderly couple.

Looking at it, the combination seems very strange.

Although she had never actually encountered a trafficker, she often heard about them, so she inevitably remained highly vigilant.

If she had known earlier, she would have persuaded her mother to come with her to Sea Island; being alone, she is inevitably at a disadvantage.

It had only been one afternoon, yet on the train she didn't dare leave her seat; whenever there was a movement next door, she was as jumpy as a startled bird, warily watching the people beside her and around her.

This left her feeling a bit off, miserable to the point of death.

Damn it, she had never suffered like this before!

In her previous life she had smooth sailing, being the enviable Mrs. Gu!

It's just that Old Man Lu doesn't like her, but on the surface it's tolerable.

It's all Shen Man's fault—how did she change like this?

I hope she hasn't also been reborn!

"Comrade, please move aside, I need to go to the water room to get water."

The middle-aged woman next to her shoved the dazed female comrade, always feeling that this person had some serious problem.

From the moment she sat down after boarding, she kept feeling wary glances sizing her up and the elderly couple opposite.

Those unaware even thought they were being guarded against as kidnappers.

"Oh."

Lu Manman was impatient and uncomfortable all over; hearing this, she had no choice but to stand up and let the other person out.

The middle-aged woman pursed her lips, said nothing—after all, they were just strangers; she'd bear it until they reached the stop, then she wouldn't have to endure that person's prickly gaze.

"Cough cough, old man, I'm going to get water too—you stay seated, don't run around."

"Okay."

The elderly couple opposite also got up.

The air in the carriage gave off an unpleasant smell,

Lu Manman lowered her eyes, breathing with difficulty, her gaze still warily scanning the surroundings—everyone looked like a kidnapper to her....
