Over the next two days, Xia Sisi wasn’t sure if she would have a chance to take Dahei out for a walk, so she could only let it bear with the situation for now.
After finishing her preparations, she exited the space and crouched in front of Dahei.
“Dahei, I’m going to put you inside the space. Can you stay there for two days? Don’t worry, I won’t leave you—I’ll always keep an eye on you. When I have time, I’ll let you out to play for a bit. Okay?”
Dahei looked at her for a long moment, then surprisingly nodded in a very human-like way.
Xia Sisi almost jumped up in excitement.
Dahei really had become smarter after drinking the spring water!
After settling Dahei, she checked the space and found that Dahei was clearly not as panicked as the first time it had entered.
It sniffed around curiously, then grabbed its favorite toy and lay down in its dog bed to play.
Seeing this, Xia Sisi finally let out a breath of relief.
She put on a backpack, pulled a suitcase, and headed to the airport.
When the plane landed in D City, it was also raining.
In fact, the rain here was even heavier than in her own city.
As soon as Xia Sisi stepped off the plane, her umbrella nearly got blown away.
Her heart tightened for a moment, and she silently prayed that everything would go smoothly.
If the apocalypse suddenly arrived and flights were canceled, she might not even be able to return.
But based on her previous life’s experience, this rain would last a few more days at least, so she wasn’t overly panicked.
She took a car to the jade trading market, and found it was much more lively than she expected.
The market was filled with bargaining voices, and many people were even livestreaming with their phones.
Wearing a raincoat, Xia Sisi entered the market, lightly holding the space stone against her chest and carefully sensing its reaction.
To her delight, not long after she entered, the jade stone in her chest began to vibrate!
And this vibration was stronger than any previous time.
From it, she could even sense excitement.
After a few tests, she quickly locked onto one stall among several tightly packed ones.
The stall owner was livestreaming, while a few hired actors beside him were loudly praising his jade pieces.
Xia Sisi could tell at a glance—this stall had nothing truly good.
She crouched down and rummaged through the items, quickly picking out one piece of jade.
It was a purple pendant shaped like a teardrop, wrapped in 14K gold and decorated with dozens of tiny diamonds.
It actually looked quite nice.
She played with it for a moment and felt something was unusual about it.
Before she even asked the price, the livestreaming stall owner immediately rushed over, smiling as he took it from her.
“Miss, you’ve got a good eye! This pendant is our shop’s treasure!”
Xia Sisi twitched her lips, remembering what she had just heard him say to his livestream audience—clearly, he was just hyping things up.
She didn’t want to waste words. There was still a much larger jade market ahead.
“How much?”
The stall owner ignored her question, holding the pendant up to the camera and talking about its color, texture, and quality.
“Oh, our ‘Sister Wang’ likes this pendant too? No problem, we’ll definitely give it to her first!”
Xia Sisi frowned. She could tell the man was trying to inflate the price.
Looking at the surrounding “extras” with shifty eyes, she knew this wouldn’t be easy.
But she had already survived the apocalypse—she wasn’t intimidated by these tricks.
Without another word, she turned and left.
One of the hired women even grabbed her.
“Hey girl, leaving already? I think this pendant is nice—if you don’t want it, I’ll buy it!”
Xia Sisi sneered.
“Then go ahead. The market is huge, I’ve just arrived—I’ll keep looking around.”
Seeing that she was serious, the stall owner finally stopped the act, put down his phone, and said,
“Miss, we can talk this through!”
In the end, Xia Sisi bought the jade pendant for 5,000 yuan.
The pendant was about the size of a thumb—good color, decent quality, but nothing extraordinary.
Originally, the seller had wanted to charge 20,000 yuan using the gold setting and diamonds as a gimmick, but Xia Sisi insisted on buying just the raw stone and removing all extras, which made him back down.
After getting the pendant, she didn’t immediately throw it into her space.
She had an idea…
In a quiet corner, she used a brooch from her bag to prick her finger.
Blood dripped onto the purple pendant.
In an instant—it was absorbed.
“Just as I thought!”
Xia Sisi was instantly delighted.
Just like when she entered the space through her chest stone, she felt a connection to the purple pendant, and soon a roughly twenty-square-meter space appeared in her mind.
It was a spatial pendant!
As expected, the space stone on her chest had reacted so strongly—it was definitely not ordinary jade.
Now, Xia Sisi hesitated.
If she let her chest space stone devour it directly, it would likely trigger a major upgrade of her existing space.
However, the spatial ability contained within this jade might still have other uses.
In her past life, Xia Sisi had seen other people’s spatial artifacts. Once these treasures appeared, they would be fiercely fought over, and could even be exchanged for unimaginable resources and connections.
Thinking of this, Xia Sisi decided to temporarily put the gemstone away and decide later whether to use it to upgrade her space.
She continued walking for a long time, but she didn’t encounter anything else that caused the stone on her chest to react.
After circling the entire trading market, there was still no response at all.
This made Xia Sisi a bit anxious—she even began to wonder if her space stone was angry because she hadn’t absorbed that gemstone.
Just as she was questioning life itself, the space stone suddenly vibrated again!
This time, she realized she had unknowingly walked into the gambling stone section.
And the object causing the reaction this time was actually a large stone beside her—almost as tall as half a person!
Xia Sisi’s mouth twitched.
How was she supposed to take this thing away?
“Interested in our ‘Stone King’?”
Seeing Xia Sisi staring at the rock without moving, a middle-aged man walked over.
As soon as he spoke, a young man from a nearby stall laughed mockingly.
“What Stone King? All show and no substance! There’s not even any jade inside this stone. Don’t go scamming the girl!”
