Chapter 005 – Activating the Jade Bracelet’s Space! Storage, Farming, and Spiritual Spring!

Although she had smoothly broken off the engagement with the old man, and by relying on the Huo family’s marriage managed to gain the upper hand in dealing with her scumbag father and stepmother, Qin Xiaoran knew this was only the beginning.

She steadied her thoughts, then once again grew serious. She lifted her right hand and looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist.

The jade bracelet was fine and translucent in quality, with a deep, rich black color and excellent appearance. Just looking at it gave off a classical and graceful feeling—it was obviously a collectible treasure.

The only flaw was the crack on it.

A crack greatly reduced a jade bracelet’s value, by as much as eighty to ninety percent. Something once worth enough to buy a large house in the capital could now only buy a cramped little place—something that was a pity to keep, yet also a pity to throw away.

And precisely because of that, this bracelet had stayed in her possession for so long without being snatched away.

In her past life, she had only felt that this cracked bracelet was just like her life story—tragic and incomplete. Every time she held it, she thought of her mother and grandfather, feeling endlessly sorrowful. In the end, even this last keepsake had been stolen, leaving her even more heartbroken.

But looking at it now, her feelings were different—especially when she remembered the words Wang Xiaoyi had bragged about to her before her death in her past life.

So this jade bracelet actually contained a space that could store items?

She recalled what Wang Xiaoyi had said. Following the method, she bit her finger until it bled and pressed it against the bracelet.

Her vision suddenly blurred. When her sight cleared again, she discovered she was no longer in her grandfather’s study, but in a strange, vast, seemingly boundless space.

Even though she had accepted her rebirth relatively calmly, she could not stay calm facing the fact that the jade bracelet contained such a space.

The reason was simple—this space was enormous, endless-looking.

For such a vast space to appear out of nowhere, how could anyone not be shocked?

More importantly—with such a huge space, how much could she store here?!

In her past life, Qin Xiaoran had suffered too much poverty. Whenever she saw good things, she always wanted to hoard them, afraid they’d be snatched away. But she never had a safe place to hide anything.

No matter how she tried, things were always discovered. Her grandfather had hidden so much wealth, but in the end her scumbag father and stepmother still found it piece by piece.

But with this bracelet space, it was different. Hidden inside, no one could find anything.

Qin Xiaoran’s heart surged with excitement. She wanted to rush out right away and move everything from the old house into the space—not leaving a single scrap of paper for her scumbag father and stepmother!

But she held back and decided to explore the bracelet’s space first.

She stood in the center of the space.

On her left stretched an endless hard ground, the texture somewhere between cement and polished flooring—smooth, clean, perfect for storing items.

On her right stretched boundless fertile farmland, more fertile than any soil she had ever seen, soil that could definitely grow excellent crops. Rivers crisscrossed through the fields, perfect for farming and livestock.

Which Chinese person could resist the idea of farming?

These lands could be planted with wheat, corn, sweet potatoes—staple grains. They could be planted with peppers, eggplants, cabbage, pumpkins—vegetables. They could even grow strawberries, melons, and watermelons—fruits. And they could raise chickens, ducks, geese, sheep…

Just imagining it filled her with joy and anticipation.

She walked a few steps forward and suddenly discovered a small spring. Compared with the vast, endless space, this spring was truly tiny—only the size of a palm, barely noticeable unless one looked carefully.

She found it strange. The space was so big, and the rivers in the farmland were more than a meter wide. Wasn’t this spring a little too small?

But soon she realized the spring was special.

The water was too pure, too sweet—not ordinary water, nor like any ordinary spring could produce.

It was sweet without being cloying, refreshing and thirst-quenching, making her whole body feel lighter—mysterious and wonderful.

She felt this water was better than anything she had ever tasted—not even her grandfather’s fine wine could compare!

Amazed, she drank handful after handful. Soon, the tiny spring was almost dried up, leaving only a shallow trace at the bottom, and it took a long time before it refilled.

She felt a little disappointed, wondering when she’d be able to drink such delicious water again.

But more than disappointment, she felt puzzled. When Wang Xiaoyi had bragged to her in her past life, he had never mentioned there was such miraculous water in the space.

Not only that, he had never mentioned the land here could be cultivated either!

Back then, Wang Xiaoyi had only said the space was large enough to store the cargo of dozens of trucks.

That was indeed large, but compared with what she saw now, it wasn’t even close.

At that time, she had been on the verge of death. With Wang Xiaoyi’s personality, he would never hold back when bragging. Which meant…

The space he got was not the same as hers?

Of course! This was a gift from her grandfather and mother. Even if Wang Xiaoyi had shamelessly stolen the bracelet, he could never gain the true recognition of its space!

Thinking this, her mood improved again.

After finishing her exploration, she decided to test storing things.

First, she had to leave the space.

The moment she thought of leaving, her vision blurred again, and she found herself back in her grandfather’s study.

She picked up a medical book from the table, then thought of entering the space again—immediately, she was inside once more.

She understood now. Going in and out of the space was simple—just think it, and it would happen.

She placed the medical book inside, then returned to the study and began sorting through the items scattered everywhere.

Although she really wanted to put everything into the space—including all the furniture, since these were her grandfather’s relics—she knew that wasn’t realistic.

Her scumbag father and stepmother weren’t blind. A few missing things could pass, but if too much disappeared, they would definitely notice. Right now, she wasn’t yet important enough in their eyes for them to ignore it. So she could only take part of it, and leave the rest for later.

She stored away some photos, letters, and medical books, and carefully organized the rest into the cabinets. That way, if anyone noticed things missing, she could say it was just because she had tidied up.

After finishing, she looked around at the newly neat study. Sitting in her grandfather’s favorite huanghuali wood armchair, she gazed at the wall across from her, where a traditional landscape painting had once hung—now missing.

She stared blankly for a long time, until suddenly a thought struck her.

When her grandfather used to hold her in his arms and play with her here, hadn’t he once mentioned that treasures were hidden in the old house?

And when she had been desperate in her past life and came here to take medical books, hadn’t the study’s walls already been pried open?

So—were there treasures hidden in the study?

Qin Xiaoran suddenly sat up straight, carefully recalling and thinking.

And the more she recalled, the more certain she became.

Not just in the study—the entire old house might still hold treasures!
