Returning to her room, Xiang Wanwan immediately opened the rosewood box. Inside was a necklace of emeralds, each gem full and translucent, of exceptional quality.
Xiang Wanwan’s eyes widened.
If this necklace were in the modern world, it would be worth millions!
With this, she could walk proudly through Nanshi.
However, since it was a family heirloom, she could only keep it, never daring to use it.
She carefully closed the box and set it aside.
She decided to focus on the bracelet in her hand first—this was her golden finger.
Xiang Wanwan took it off and examined it closely.
How did this thing work?
Though it wasn’t as fine as the emerald necklace, it was a green-tinted glass-like gem, crystal clear inside.
But she couldn’t see anything inside it.
The original story didn’t mention how to activate this space either!
Could it require blood?
She had seen web novels where the protagonist’s space was always activated with blood.
Xiang Wanwan picked up a fruit knife from the fruit tray and pricked her finger. Blood welled up instantly.
She quickly dripped the blood onto the bracelet.
Then a miracle happened!
The bracelet immediately absorbed the blood, and a beam of white light shone.
Xiang Wanwan was instantly pulled inside.
When she opened her eyes, she was in the space.
She saw a lush green meadow. A clear spring was a meter away, feeding a winding stream flowing into the distance.
Across the stream stood a sparkling towering tree, beneath which was a wooden house.
Xiang Wanwan walked around the spring to the tree and looked up, stunned.
This tree was unusual!
From bottom to top, thick branches sprouted, each holding a tiny house. Every house was different, and each glowed faintly.
Could people actually live in these houses?
She decided to first check the wooden house nearby.
The interior was simple.
All four walls had wooden grid cabinets, empty compartments.
In the center was a wooden table with four stools.
Above hung a trumpet-shaped lamp casting a yellow glow.
Empty? Just this?
She stepped out and scanned the space.
Why was there nothing here?
At that moment, she felt something fly toward her from behind. She spun around.
“Wow, it’s so cute!”
It was a fairy in a green dress, flapping small green wings, flying toward her.
It had big green eyes, two antennae, and a head of green curly hair.
Xiang Wanwan reached out absentmindedly. The tiny fairy stood on her hand, curious eyes staring at her.
She looked up at the tree. The tiny house on the lowest branch had its door open, no longer glowing.
“Did you fly out from that house?”
The green fairy didn’t answer but flew toward the spring.
Xiang Wanwan followed curiously. The fairy paused, looking at her.
It seemed to want her to follow.
She stepped after it.
Reaching the spring, the fairy stopped and pointed at the water.
It couldn’t speak!
Did it want her to drink?
She scooped up some spring water and took a sip. It was sweet, icy-cold, yet as she swallowed, warmth spread through her body, leaving her refreshed.
This was… a spiritual spring?
So her space was a spiritual spring space!
Not bad, and she even had a fairy in it.
Looking at the tree, she guessed a fairy lived in each tiny house.
But how to summon the others?
She decided to study that later.
Muttering a command in her mind, she returned to her room.
Her space was now bound, and a huge weight lifted from her heart.
That night, Xiang Wanwan slept soundly.
In the morning, she was alone at home.
Asking the servants, she learned her father had taken Li Jinglan and her daughter out shopping again.
Just after becoming Madam Xiang, she was eager to splurge.
And they were spending her money!
Damn it!
Xiang Wanwan used the opportunity to search her mother’s dowry and her father’s treasures.
After an hour, still nothing.
She even searched the garden and kitchen—nothing.
Was Xiang Xinrong a rodent-counting master? So good at hiding things!
Sitting on the garden swing, she felt hopeless.
Just then, the green fairy appeared, flapping its wings before her.
“Ah! You can leave the space too!”
The fairy smiled and pointed toward the backyard, then flew in that direction.
Where was it leading her?
Following it, Xiang Wanwan arrived at the backyard tool shed.
The fairy pointed at the shed.
“You want me to go in?”
The green fairy blinked and nodded.
Xiang Wanwan saw the large lock on the door and called a servant to open it.
The servant said the lock was personally secured by Xiang Xinrong; only he had the key.
Xiang Wanwan’s eyes lit up.
Could the old man have hidden things here?
She immediately went to her father’s room, searching through everything for a key.
Finally, she found a small black key under his pillow.
Hidden deep!
She went to the tool shed. Click!
Finally, it opened.
The shed was small, filled with household tools.
No treasures here?
As she wondered, the green fairy reappeared.
It flew to the left wall, pointing at a saw hanging there.
Xiang Wanwan tried to pick it up.
But the saw was stuck, immovable.
A flash of insight struck—was it a mechanism?
She fiddled with the saw, pressing a protrusion. Click!
A panel opened in the wall corner.
The green fairy flew inside.
Xiang Wanwan followed, descending stairs at the entrance.
After a dozen steps, she reached a flat space. She felt along the wall, found a switch, and pressed it.
The room lit up instantly.
Xiang Wanwan was stunned.
Before her was a cabinet neatly stacked with gold bars. Another cabinet held two small boxes, filled with cash.
Several exquisite boxes contained various jewels.
Famous paintings hung on the walls.
No wonder she couldn’t find anything at home.
Everything was hidden underground.
The old man was a true rodent-counter, clever with hidden spaces!
But how could she carry all this? If only her space could store them…
Just as she thought this, all the items suddenly vanished!
Xiang Wanwan was stunned.
Was this telekinesis by thought?
She entered the space. The meadow was empty.
She ran to the wooden house. Sure enough, the gold, cash, and jewels appeared in the wall compartments.
Hahaha!
Amazing!
With this ability, she could essentially empty the Xiang family’s fortune.
Xiang Wanwan left the space, checked the secret room to ensure no other mechanisms, then returned upstairs.
She exited the tool shed, locked the door, and returned the key.
All done without anyone knowing.
