Qin Chuan was quite happy about it. “Apart from the Star of the Ocean from last time, they can produce another piece of raw stone that will surely be even better than what you received last time.” 

Life-saving medicine was indispensable, but these vaccines weren’t so precious. In fact, she could gather them herself with much effort. It was easier to do a favor than to go through all that trouble. 

Jiang Ning understood this reasoning well, but she still felt that the quantity was a bit much. 

She took out a pen and revised the quantity of the medicine. “This is the most I can get.” 

Who knew how long they would live? What if they accidentally lived for decades, and if they had gout from eating seafood every day like Huo Yishen and her, living in pain without medicine to reduce uric acid would be unbearable? 

Having cooperated for so long, Qin Chuan had already anticipated that Jiang Ning would haggle over the price and had reserved enough space in terms of quantity. 

Without hesitation, he readily agreed. 

The next day, Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen brought the medicine for the trade. 

The 3000 kilograms of dried goods had already been placed on the luxury yacht, and even the staff had been arranged to teach the two how to operate the cruise ship. 

Huo Yishen politely declined, “No need, I’ll manage.” 

Jiang Ning was surprised. Was there anything he couldn’t do? 

During the handover, the staff explained as if they were cutting their own flesh, “This is a Riva. It’s the Rolls-Royce of the yacht world. The boss bought it for over eighty million, and he hasn’t even used it once before this natural disaster struck.” 

He babbled on, feeling like his child had been snatched away. 

One had to admit that Riva yachts were indeed luxurious, with their framework made from the best resin in the world, coupled with a reasonable exterior and unparalleled gradient colors, making them stand out among the world’s yacht brands. 

Top luxury double-decker yachts with extravagantly decorated interiors were highly sought after by royalty, European and American celebrities, as well as business tycoons. 

Now, it belonged to Jiang Ning. 

Qin Ge hurriedly brought the raw stone over. It was larger than the one from last time, with a dripping green color, giving off the feeling of a valuable collection. 

If it weren’t for the natural disaster overturning the value of commodities and turning jade into ashes, Jiang Ning wouldn’t have had a chance to come into contact with it. 

It still has some value now. In a few more years, she might not even be able to exchange it for a loaf of bread. 

Otherwise, how could the Tang family be willing to use it to exchange for medicine? Such a savvy businessman wouldn’t engage in losing deals. 

Jiang Ning handed over the accurately prepared medicine to him, and both sides checked without error before exchanging goods. 

Qin Chuan coveted the yacht. If he didn’t have urgent matters to attend to, he really wanted to go out to sea for a breeze. 

Huo Yishen walked into the cockpit, looked at the control panel, made sure everything was okay after adjusting it, and then started the engine… 

The luxury yacht flew out like an arrow, and white waves rolled in the harbor. 

The sunset gradually deepened, staining half the sky as if with fresh blood. 

The yacht stopped in the vast ocean, swaying like a flat boat amidst the rippling waves. 

Jiang Ning stood on the yacht’s railing, the sunset shining on the sparkling sea, dazzling like scattered diamonds. 

In the distance, seagulls flew low, swiftly skimming over the sea, pecking at the small fish in the water, then flying back into the air. 

The beautiful scene made one feel intoxicated. 

Suddenly, Jiang Ning was hugged from behind. 

It was Huo Yishen, gently embracing her, asking, “What are you thinking about?” 

Jiang Ning looked into the distance and said, “The sunset, isn’t it beautiful?” 

“Mm.” Huo Yishen followed her gaze and indeed found it breathtakingly beautiful. 

Due to their height difference, his chin lightly touched Jiang Ning’s forehead as he said, “Who knows when the disaster will end? For now, let’s still enjoy such a beautiful sea and sunset.” 

Jiang Ning turned to look at him, her eyes tinged with a hint of confusion. “Can the disaster really end?” 

It was as if she was asking him while also asking herself. 

“We’ve only just begun, and we’ll wait until the end.” 

“We?” Jiang Ning pondered. She was just in her early twenties, and Huo Yishen was only a few years older than her. As long as they fought against the disaster with determination, they might usher in a new world. 

She turned around and hugged him under the sunset. 

For the first time, she took the initiative to embrace him. 

Huo Yishen kissed her forehead, and the golden sunset stretched their intertwined shadows. 

But it was really hot weather, and holding each other was sweaty. 

Seeing that he was about to kiss her, Jiang Ning quickly pushed him away, holding back her laughter and moving sideways to avoid it. 

Huo Yishen pulled her into the cockpit. “Anning, I’m afraid I won’t be by your side when we need to use the yacht someday, so you have to learn to drive it.” 

Jiang Ning was taken aback. “Okay.” 

The disaster was unpredictable, and no one could guarantee that they could accompany each other to the end of their lives. 

Huo Yishen introduced the functions of the cruise ship’s control panel and carefully explained them to Jiang Ning… 

Jiang Ning was particularly engrossed in learning these life-saving skills, repeatedly familiarizing herself with them. 

Mastering the theoretical knowledge, Huo Yishen guided her in practice, standing beside her and letting Jiang Ning take the helm. 

Starting, accelerating, steering, turning… 

For more than two hours, it was already getting dark. 

Although not particularly proficient, Jiang Ning had a decent aptitude. As long as she remained calm, there wouldn’t be any major problems. 

With more practice in the future, she might even get a certification. 

Seeing that it wasn’t completely dark yet and it wasn’t convenient to dock the yacht, Jiang Ning sat in the high-end, luxurious cabin and took out frozen watermelon juice to cool off. 

In this sweltering weather, having a cup of sweet juice was incredibly pleasant. 

Huo Yishen sat next to her. “Did the space expand?” 

Jiang Ning suddenly remembered the main task, almost forgetting it. 

She quickly found the large backpack and took out the Start of the Ocean. 

A 120 million-gemstone necklace. Before, she could only look at pictures to satisfy her curiosity. 

Jiang Ning was an ordinary person—very ordinary indeed. 

Unable to resist the temptation, she wore the 120 million necklace around her neck and took a picture as a keepsake. 

Huo Yishen didn’t say anything but smile. 

After taking the picture, she tossed it into the space. 

A moment later, she checked with her consciousness. The villa hadn’t changed at all, but the black soil garden had increased by about 1500 square meters. 

Truly worthy of the name Star of the Ocean, even space couldn’t escape its charm. 

It was just what she wanted! 

Finally, there was the raw stone, which was much larger than the previous one. After taking pictures as evidence of its previous ownership, she unhesitatingly put it into the space. 

This one was really big, probably around 3000 square meters. 

Mr. Tang was indeed a good person, conducting business with integrity and generosity. He was truly a genuine entrepreneur! 

The tape measure couldn’t measure it anymore, so Jiang Ning could only take Huo Yishen into the space and use his long legs to measure. 

And he really went to measure. 

Different from ordinary people, he was confident in his step length due to his special profession. This time, the space had increased by about 4800 square meters in total. 

As for the height, Huo Yishen frequently looked up at the ceiling. “Anning, do you feel anything different?” 

Jiang Ning looked up and felt like… It was higher? 

So, she took a bamboo pole and poked it up to the fourth floor. 

Hmm, it didn’t reach the top. 

She let Huo Yishen pick her up and continued poking upward. 

Huo Yishen was tall; he squatted down and held her legs to stand up. 

Tall enough, but still not there. 

In the end, it was still Huo Yishen who climbed to the top of the miscellaneous room on the fourth floor, but there was still no result. 

Jiang Ning was ecstatic and hugged Huo Yishen happily. “We don’t lack space anymore!”
