As the blood was absorbed, the leaves on the right and bottom gradually turned dark red. Finally, even the top leaf changed color.
Now the four leaves were two red and two dark red, looking especially unique.
Holding the necklace, Shen Shuangshuang first focused her attention on the leaf on the right and silently thought, “Enter the space on the right.”
A soft white light flashed before her eyes. When her vision cleared, she found herself standing in a vast white space.
There was nothing here—no sky, no ground—only endless pure white. Yet it didn’t feel oppressive; instead, it made people feel strangely calm.
Just as she was wondering about it, a piece of information suddenly appeared in her mind:
“Infinite storage preservation warehouse. Any item can be stored. Time is frozen. Stored items will never deteriorate.”
“Holy crap, this is way too useful!”
Shen Shuangshuang clapped her hands excitedly.
She worked in import-export business, and the thing she worried about most was storing fresh goods. This warehouse seemed tailor-made for her.
To test it, she pulled out her phone from the pocket of her bathrobe. Surprisingly, it hadn’t fallen out when she slipped earlier.
She thought “store”, and the phone instantly disappeared.
When she thought “take out”, the phone reappeared in her hand.
After playing with the warehouse for a while, she tried the leaf below.
“Enter the space below.”
This time the scene changed into an endless grassland. The grass grew as high as her waist, and the blue sky and white clouds seemed so low that she could touch them if she reached out. In the distance were several gentle hills, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of grass.
Half of this space was grassland, and the other half was water.
More information flowed into her mind:
“Infinite breeding ranch. Suitable for raising all kinds of livestock, poultry, and aquatic animals. The land is fertile and free from disease.”
Shen Shuangshuang walked up a hillside and looked down, imagining the place filled with cattle and sheep, chickens and ducks everywhere. The corners of her mouth lifted unconsciously.
With a planting space and a breeding ranch, even if her company collapsed someday, she could still become rich by farming and raising pigs.
“Only the last one left.”
She took a deep breath and focused her attention on the top leaf.
“Enter the space at the top.”
This time the white light was even brighter. When she opened her eyes, she was instantly stunned by the scenery in front of her.
It was a valley of breathtaking beauty.
At the center of the valley stood an elegant ancient courtyard. Gray tiles and white walls surrounded it, and the vermilion gate stood wide open, revealing exquisitely carved beams and painted rafters inside.
Beside the courtyard ran a small stream. The water was crystal clear, with tiny fish swimming back and forth. Unknown wildflowers bloomed along the banks.
Not far away was a pond covered with lotus leaves, where pink lotus flowers bloomed brightly.
At the end of the valley lay a small, azure sea. Gentle waves lapped against the beach, sunlight sparkling across the surface.
“This is practically paradise…”
Shen Shuangshuang couldn’t take her eyes off it as she hurried into the courtyard.
There was a well in the yard and a woodshed nearby. Inside the main house, the furniture was complete—beds, tables, and chairs all made of fine redwood. There was even a dressing table with a full set of jade combs placed neatly on top.
She walked to the window and looked out at the sea view, feeling delighted.
With a planting garden, a breeding ranch, a preservation warehouse, and such a comfortable residence, even if she retired one day, living here would be incredibly pleasant.
Just as she was planning her beautiful future life, something caught the corner of her eye.
A row of numbers suddenly appeared in midair.
The numbers were golden, floating like an LED display—clear beyond doubt:
“29 days, 23 hours: 50 minutes: 06 seconds.”
The smile on Shen Shuangshuang’s face instantly froze.
She stepped closer and looked up at the numbers, her heart suddenly pounding wildly.
“What does this mean? A countdown? Countdown to what?”
She muttered to herself as a terrifying thought surfaced uncontrollably.
“Could it be… a countdown to transmigration?”
The moment that thought appeared, she immediately remembered the nightmare from earlier.
The confiscation of property, exile, and the overwhelming flood—those scenes had felt too real to be just a dream. They felt more like a warning.
She touched the necklace at her neck, then looked at the numbers again.
The numbers were still decreasing second by second.
“06 seconds” became “05 seconds,” then “04 seconds.”
“Calm down, Shen Shuangshuang. You have to stay calm.”
She forced herself to take deep breaths.
“Even if I really have to transmigrate, I’m not completely helpless. I have the space, experience running a company, and the brain I sharpened through ten years of business warfare. I might survive just fine in ancient times.”
She quickly began calculating in her mind.
Twenty-nine days—almost a full month. Enough time to prepare.
Food, medicine, seeds, tools, and all kinds of modern supplies had to be stored in the space in advance.
Her Shen Group also needed arrangements. Even if it might be useless after transmigration, it was the result of her own hard work—she couldn’t just abandon it like that.
“And that nightmare…” Shen Shuangshuang frowned. “Confiscation, exile, and overwhelming floods. Was that a coincidence, or something I’ll actually encounter after transmigrating?”
The golden numbers in midair continued to shrink, their light glaring enough to make her eyes ache.
Shen Shuangshuang tightened her grip on the four-leaf clover necklace. The shock in her eyes gradually turned into determination.
No matter what the future held, she, Shen Shuangshuang, was not someone who would be easily bullied.
She had taken over a nearly bankrupt company from her father and turned it into an industry leader.
Even in ancient times, she could still rely on her own abilities to live well.
“So what if it’s transmigration? Who’s afraid?”
She turned around and silently thought “Return to the bathroom.” The scenery changed once again.
Looking at the glass shards on the floor, she hurried to the walk-in closet.
“The most urgent thing now is to treat the wound first, then make a list and prepare everything I need!”
But as soon as she pulled on a silk nightgown, Shen Shuangshuang froze in place.
Preparing supplies was easy.
But what about her parents?
Shen Yaozong and Xiang Meimei had only one daughter—her. Since childhood, they had cherished her like the apple of their eye.
Back then, when she insisted on taking over the nearly bankrupt Shen Group, her parents opposed it verbally—but secretly handed over all their retirement savings to serve as her startup capital.
When she drank herself into stomach bleeding while negotiating business deals, Xiang Meimei stayed by her hospital bed crying for three days and nights. Shen Yaozong, with a dark expression, sabotaged most of the other company’s projects in retaliation.
If she suddenly disappeared, her parents would definitely go mad.
“No… I can’t just leave like this.”
Shen Shuangshuang bit her lip, unconsciously rubbing the necklace between her fingers.
“I have to find a way…”
Bang bang bang!
Urgent knocking suddenly sounded, interrupting her thoughts.
“Shuangshuang? Are you okay? Did you fall just now?”
Xiang Meimei’s voice carried obvious anxiety.
“I heard a loud bang upstairs from downstairs, and you didn’t answer when I called!”
“Mom, I’m fine!”
Shen Shuangshuang quickly used her collar to cover the wound on her neck and hurried over to open the door.
“I just soaked in the bath too long and got a little dizzy. I slipped by accident.”
