Night fell over the village like an enormous sheet of black silk, gently enveloping everything in darkness. Before long, it was time for dinner.
Yun Yixuan looked at the food on the table and was pleasantly surprised to see that they were finally having something different—coarse corn porridge and cold seasoned wild vegetables.
After eating practically the same bland meals every day, her taste buds had nearly gone numb. Today’s meal finally offered something new.
Although the dishes were still simple, they looked decent enough. A contented smile slowly appeared on Yun Yixuan’s face, filled with appreciation for this small but welcome change in her otherwise ordinary life.
Perhaps all the work she had done during the day had increased her appetite because she ended up eating quite a lot.
The two quickly finished their meal and cleaned up together, one washing the dishes while the other dried them. With their simple teamwork, dinner soon came to an end, and they returned to their respective rooms.
Yun Yixuan stepped into her room and slowly looked around every corner, examining the place that would be her home for some time.
The room wasn’t spacious, and there was hardly any furniture. The only real piece of furniture she had was the old cabinet she had brought over from the educated youth compound.
Fortunately, everything had been cleaned and arranged neatly.
As she looked around, the corners of her lips unconsciously curved upward, and her heart filled with anticipation for the future.
She clenched her fist and silently encouraged herself.
From now on, she had to work hard and earn money so that both she and her parents could live comfortably.
Once the opportunity arose, she would find a way to clear her parents’ names and take them back to the capital.
That was where they truly belonged.
Meanwhile, in the other room, Li Meiling was so excited that she kept tossing and turning on the warm kang, unable to fall asleep.
The thought that she would be able to earn money alongside Yun Yixuan in the future filled her with excitement. Her mind was overflowing with dreams of a better life, and she could almost imagine stacks of money waving at her from the distance.
At that moment, Yun Yixuan had already entered her spatial dimension.
She stood beside the ancient well, her eyes wide as she stared without blinking at the water filling it to the brim.
Under the faint light, the surface of the water shimmered gently, as though countless secrets were hidden beneath it.
Her heart filled with anticipation.
How wonderful would it be if this water really was like the legendary spiritual spring water and possessed miraculous properties?
Unable to suppress her curiosity, Yun Yixuan hurried into the villa’s kitchen.
After searching around, she found a clean basin and quickly returned to the ancient well.
Carefully, she scooped up an entire basin of water.
Then, without hesitation, she drank it all in one go.
After finishing, she smacked her lips. A hint of pleasant surprise appeared on her face.
“Hmm… it’s actually pretty sweet.”
She waited eagerly, expecting some miraculous change to occur in her body.
However, even after waiting for quite some time, nothing happened.
A trace of disappointment flashed through her eyes.
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Still, Yun Yixuan quickly adjusted her mindset and comforted herself.
Forget it. At least the space had already upgraded, and she could now physically enter it. That alone was an enormous benefit.
Suddenly, she remembered the fruit seeds she had purchased before transmigrating.
She grabbed a hoe and enthusiastically headed toward the fertile black soil, ready to get to work.
However, once she actually started farming, she quickly discovered that working the land was far from easy.
She had barely dug a few holes before her arms began to ache, and sweat continuously rolled down her forehead.
By the time she had finished digging three rows of holes, she was already gasping for breath. Her legs felt weak, and she could no longer support herself.
No longer caring about appearances, Yun Yixuan dropped onto the black soil and breathed heavily.
“This is seriously exhausting. If only this place could farm automatically.”
Who could have imagined that the moment those words left her mouth, something miraculous would happen?
The durian seeds stored inside the warehouse suddenly flew out on their own, as though controlled by some mysterious force.
One after another, they accurately dropped into the holes she had just dug.
Immediately afterward, the surrounding soil moved by itself and covered the seeds.
Then the spiritual spring water rose as though guided by an invisible hand and evenly watered the freshly planted soil.
Yun Yixuan stared at the scene with her mouth hanging open.
It took her several moments to recover from her shock.
Then she jumped to her feet in excitement.
“It really can do that?! This is amazing!”
The unexpected discovery thrilled her beyond words, and her eyes sparkled brightly with excitement.
She immediately began experimenting with the space’s automatic farming ability.
Pointing toward a patch of land beside the durian seeds, she commanded loudly, “Plant cherries on this piece of land.”
The moment she finished speaking, neat holes began appearing across the soil one after another at astonishing speed.
Immediately afterward, the cherry seeds flew out automatically and dropped neatly into the prepared holes.
The soil quickly filled the holes and completely buried the seeds.
Finally, spiritual spring water automatically poured over the newly planted ground.
The entire process happened smoothly from beginning to end.
It was so incredible that Yun Yixuan could hardly believe her own eyes.
She crouched beside the field and watched everything carefully without blinking, her face filled with amazement and delight.
Now that she had discovered this incredible ability, Yun Yixuan was overflowing with enthusiasm.
She was determined to make full use of this miraculous land, her mind filled with visions of a prosperous and comfortable future.
Before long, she had successfully planted apples and pears.
Looking at the neatly arranged young fruit trees, she could already imagine them growing tall and becoming laden with ripe fruit.
But Yun Yixuan wasn’t finished yet.
She immediately planted staple crops such as wheat, rice, and corn.
The thought that she would never have to worry about running out of food again filled her with a tremendous sense of accomplishment.
Afterward, she planted Chinese cabbage on the remaining land.
Just imagining being able to cook her favorite stir-fried cabbage with vinegar in the future was enough to make her mouth water.
Looking over the land now filled with crops and hope, Yun Yixuan finally nodded in satisfaction.
She headed toward the villa, planning to take a nice bath and wash away the exhaustion of the day.
After entering the bathroom, she reached for her clothes and was about to undress when she casually glanced at the mirror.
The sight nearly made her jump in fright.
A face covered in black grime stared back at her.
Her hair was also a complete mess, making her look like some little monster that had just crawled out of a muddy field.
Yun Yixuan stared at herself in confusion.
She had certainly worked hard and sweated while farming, but she couldn’t remember getting this much black dirt all over herself.
She quickly turned on the faucet and vigorously washed her face with clean water.
However, the black grime seemed to have taken root in her skin.
No matter how hard she washed, it refused to come off. Instead, the more she rubbed, the greasier it seemed to become.
Yun Yixuan began to panic.
Left with no other choice, she grabbed the facial cleanser beside her and squeezed a generous amount into her palm.
She scrubbed her face thoroughly again and again.
Only after washing it three times did she finally manage to remove all the black grime.
Yun Yixuan raised her head and looked into the mirror again.
She immediately froze.
The face reflected in the mirror looked exactly like her appearance in her previous life.
Her skin was fair, smooth, and radiant, as delicate as a freshly peeled egg and glowing with health.
Her round almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright. Whenever she smiled, they curved into gentle crescents, giving her an especially sweet appearance.
Her small face had soft, delicate features that made her look charming and adorable.
A petite, elegant nose sat perfectly at the center of her face.
And beneath it were a pair of small, naturally rosy lips, vivid and beautiful even without makeup.
