However, Mu Xi had no intention of meddling in other people’s business. She stepped around the man and left on her own.
As for the man and woman inside, since this soldier had already set his sights on them, and she could also sense several discreet gazes outside the restaurant, they probably weren’t going to get away.
After wandering around outside for a while, Mu Xi leisurely returned home.
There was no one home.
Jiang Yun, who had still been home that morning, had only taken half a day off and had gone back to work in the afternoon.
Seeing that it was still early, Mu Xi returned to her room. After thinking for a moment, she rummaged under the bed and pulled out a small wooden box.
Then she opened it with an expectant expression.
“If I remember correctly, the female lead’s golden finger is in here…”
Click.
Sure enough, a bead that looked like a glass marble lay quietly inside.
Mu Xi picked it up and held it against the light coming through the window.
To be honest, it looked completely ordinary.
If the book hadn’t said that this thing contained a space, she would have simply regarded it as an ordinary glass bead.
The original owner had kept it safely inside the box only because her mother had left it to her, saying that it was something passed down through their ancestors. She didn’t know how much it was worth, but it held great sentimental value.
As for the original owner giving it to the female lead in the book…
All Mu Xi could say was that whatever the author said went.
After all, the entire book existed for the author’s precious biological daughter. Naturally, no one else had any say over a golden finger specifically arranged for her precious daughter.
But now…
Forget about making her hand the golden finger over to the female lead. Anything that belonged to her, Mu Xi, was hers. Anyone who dared to snatch it would die!
Not even the Heavenly Emperor himself could do anything about it!
She found a needle and pricked her finger. When her blood fell onto the bead, it wasn’t long before Mu Xi’s vision blurred, and in the next instant, she found herself somewhere else.
“Oh-ho, this isn’t right…”
The book had said that this space was only about ten mu in size, roughly equivalent to a standard soccer field, with nothing else inside.
But what she saw now, aside from a stretch of black soil about the size of a soccer field, was a forested mountain in the distance, with a small wooden cabin at its foot.
Beside the cabin was a spring. A gentle stream of water flowed from it into a pond, then formed a small creek running between the forest and the fields.
Mu Xi thought that it would be nice if she could go take a look at the foot of the mountain, and in the very next instant, she was already standing there.
As expected of a space where the body moved according to one’s thoughts.
Once she got closer, she saw many fruit trees around the outer edge of the forest. Some were varieties she recognized, such as apples, peaches, and cherries.
There were also many she didn’t recognize.
However, she could tell that all of them were currently ripe.
Presumably, this was one of the space’s special abilities.
Mu Xi didn’t investigate further. She pushed open the cabin door and walked inside.
Generally speaking, there should be some clues inside a cabin like this.
Mm. All those novels she had read hadn’t been for nothing.
Sure enough, without even having to search, she found a letter sitting on the table inside the cabin.
After finishing the letter, Mu Xi finally understood everything.
This space was a supreme treasure passed down through her mother’s family. Only someone who possessed the family bloodline had a chance of unlocking the entire space.
Although the female lead in the book had coincidentally dripped her blood on it and established a connection with it, she had merely gained the right to use the space. It had never truly recognized her as its master.
The truly valuable things within this space were inside the small wooden cabin and the mountain forest.
Oh, and there was also that spring.
It was a spiritual spring.
In other words, the female lead in the book hadn’t obtained a single one of the truly valuable things. She had only used the space for storage.
And even then, who knew how ridiculously happy she had been about it?
Mu Xi: “…”
What could she even say? Her ancestors had done a fantastic job!
Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Mu Xi’s lips curved upward as she excitedly walked toward the shelves along one side of the wooden cabin.
