Chapter 187: Space Transformation

Many years ago, when she was just a baby, her father went to the mountains to herd cattle. He accidentally found a package. When he opened it, he saw a set of exquisite baby clothes and a shiny gold locket. He took the package home.

Her parents had burned the baby clothes. As for the gold locket, it was so eye-catching that they carefully hid it, not letting anyone see it.

They didn’t reveal the locket to her until they were dying.

Now, she knew that the locket might be significant. It might change her fate.

So, she deliberately tested those people, and after getting some clues, she took out the locket.

After that, she was taken on the train by those people.

They were very respectful to her. They called her “Miss” and bought her many things to eat, use, and new clothes and shoes. These were things she had never dared to dream of before. She was no longer a village woman.

Thinking of what she had heard about Ling Xuemei a few days ago, she sneered. What was so great about Ling Xuemei? She had just married a young intellectual who had some money. How could she compare to her? She would be a rich and noble daughter from now on.

If Ling Xuemei saw her, she would definitely recognize her. This middle-aged woman was Jiang Chunhua from the same village.

The night was as dark as ink, silently engulfing the sky.

Outside the window, a bright moon hung high in the sky, casting a cold and gentle light. The silver light shone through the window, casting a thin veil of silver over everything around.

Ling Yao and Ling Xuemei chatted late into the night. Only when Ji Yanting came to call them did Ling Xuemei reluctantly return to her room.

Back in her room, Ling Yao entered the space. As soon as she entered, she was stunned by the scene before her. When the Zhu family gave her the set of emerald jewelry today, the space suddenly reacted strongly. So, she threw the jewelry into the space.

She didn’t expect the emerald jewelry to cause such a huge change in the space. The space was not only twice as big as before, but the air was filled with wisps of white mist, as ethereal as a dream, as if she were in a fairyland.

She took a deep breath. A fresh scent filled her nostrils and flowed into her body. It felt like every cell in her body was activated, making her feel incredibly comfortable and happy. Could this be the legendary spiritual energy?

Suppressing her excitement, Ling Yao thought, and in the next moment, she was in the medicine field.

The medicine field stretched as far as the eye could see, lush and green. But what surprised Ling Yao was that each herb seemed to be enveloped in a faint silver halo.

Unable to contain her intense curiosity, Ling Yao reached out and gently grasped the stem of one of the herbs, pulling it out of the soil.

At that moment, a strong and unique herbal fragrance filled the air.

The refreshing scent intoxicated Ling Yao. She was lost in it for a long time.

Coming to her senses, Ling Yao quickly took out her medicine furnace and started refining pills.

All night, the space was filled with the scent of herbs and the fragrance of pills.

Only when she heard a knock on the door and Ling Xuemei’s gentle voice came from outside the space did Ling Yao realize it was already morning.

She put away the refined pills and flashed out of the space. She went to open the door and saw Ling Xuemei standing outside. She smiled lightly, “Mom! Good morning!”

“Good morning!” Ling Xuemei nodded with a smile, “Breakfast is ready. Come down and eat.”

“Okay, I’ll go change my clothes and come down.” Ling Yao closed the door, quickly washed up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.

In the dining room, besides Ji Yanting, Ling Xuemei, and Old Master Ji, the three brothers, Ji Yuanming, Ji Yuanzhou, and Ji Yuanbo, were also there.

When they saw Ling Yao walk in, everyone’s eyes, as if attracted by a magnet, all converged on her.

Whether it was because of the lighting or something else, everyone felt that Ling Yao was even more beautiful than usual today. Especially her unique, noble aura that emanated from within, like a pure white lotus emerging from the water, fresh and elegant, unattainable.

“Dad! Mom! Big Brother! Second Brother! Third Brother!” Ling Yao greeted everyone and nodded slightly to Old Master Ji.

Old Master Ji felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, but he was used to Ling Yao’s attitude.

“Yaoyao, come sit here with Big Brother.” Ji Yuanming smiled and beckoned to Ling Yao.

Ling Yao went to sit beside Ji Yuanming as instructed. Ji Yuanzhou and Ji Yuanbo immediately served Ling Yao.

“Yaoyao, this layered pancake is delicious. Aunt Ling made it this morning.”

“This is fresh milk. Try it. If you like it, Third Brother will go buy more.”

“This is the barbecued pork bun Big Brother bought this morning. Try it.”

The three of them, one after another, piled Ling Yao’s bowl full.

“No need. If you give me more, I won’t be able to finish it. This is enough.” Ling Yao stopped the three of them who were still trying to put food in her bowl.

Ji Yuanming, the three brothers, realized that Ling Yao’s bowl was already full. They smiled awkwardly, “Then eat first.”

Ling Yao nodded with a smile, picked up the barbecued pork bun in her bowl and took a bite, then took a sip of milk. The milk now had a very strong milky flavor, completely different from the milk in the future.

“Yaoyao, are you staying at home tonight?” Ling Xuemei looked at Ling Yao expectantly. She hoped her daughter would stay at home for a few more days.

“No, I’m going back to the family quarters tonight.” She had been planning to go to the land the Zhu family gave her and check it out, but she hadn’t had time. Tonight, she planned to go and see what treasures were buried there.

“But Qingyun is out, isn’t he? You’ll be alone when you go back.”

“It’s okay. I’ll get used to it.” Ling Yao turned to look at Ji Yuanming, “Big Brother, I want to ask you something later.” She was worried about Qingyun. She wanted to ask her brother if he knew how he was doing.

“Okay.” Ji Yuanming nodded.

After breakfast, Ling Yao and Ji Yuanming took a walk in the courtyard.

“Yaoyao, you want to ask about Lu Qingyun, don’t you?”

Ling Yao nodded, “I know some things are confidential and you can’t tell me. I just want to know if he’s safe.”

“Don’t worry. Lu Qingyun’s skills are among the best in the army. He’ll be fine. He’ll be back soon.” Ji Yuanming knew that Lu Qingyun’s mission this time was dangerous, but he couldn’t let his sister worry. Besides, he believed Lu Qingyun would complete it successfully.

Ling Yao took out several bottles of pills she had just refined yesterday from her pocket and handed them to Ji Yuanming, “Big Brother, if you can, could you help me deliver these pills to Qingyun?” These pills were much more effective than the ones she had refined before.

Ji Yuanming nodded and put the pills in his pocket, “Okay, I’ll help you deliver them to him.” Actually, he was going to leave tomorrow to support Lu Qingyun.
