Space

Amid repeated life-and-death crises, she had gone from a quiet little girl into a high-level ability user who dared to fight and kill.

Every daily level-up had been bought with her life.

She had become a Dragon Guard, protecting the base and her own kind with the same desperation she would use to protect her home.

Back then, she had thought herself great. Like everyone else, she had believed she was safeguarding the spark of humanity.

Looking back, Jiang You felt like a complete fool. She had actually let them deceive her for so long.

In the end, she had even been set up and sent to Forbidden Island as an experimental subject.

Only her family knew about her abnormal regenerative abilities.

And the only people who could drug her while she was completely off guard were her family.

What debt of gratitude for raising her?

What blood ties and family affection?

What mutual support among their kind?

It was all bullshit!

Thinking of the past, she wanted nothing more than to slap herself twice.

The most urgent matter was getting the bracelet back first.

But she had had no idea where Li Tianming had put the bracelet.

If she tore their relationship apart outright, it would inevitably cause more trouble and waste time.

It was better to play along.

That was why, after being reborn, when her uncle once again urged her to marry Boss Wang's son—

She had not firmly refused, all for the sake of reclaiming this bracelet.

As for the four million bride price, that was merely icing on the cake.

Yet Jiang You stared at the blood on the bracelet for a long time, but nothing happened. Could it be that only her cousin could use this bracelet?

At that thought, her expression turned cold.

If something belonging to the Jiang Family couldn't be used by me, I'd rather smash it.

Just as she thought that—

The next second, the bracelet in her hand suddenly grew scorching hot.

A layer of skin peeled away from where the blood had dripped, revealing a lustrous, translucent jade-red color beneath.

But that was all. After thinking for a moment, Jiang You squeezed her finger again and smeared more blood all over the bracelet.

The bracelet then seemed to shed its skin, flakes of grayish-white casing falling away one after another. A few seconds later, the entire bracelet had changed completely.

Unlike its former pale, ashen appearance, it was now entirely crimson, like the finest blood jade.

Jiang You was somewhat puzzled. The bracelet she had seen on Li Yingyue's wrist in her previous life had clearly looked the same as it did before shedding its shell.

So why had it turned into a fine blood-jade bracelet after absorbing her blood?

Could it be because of the Jiang Family bloodline?

Jiang You stared at the bracelet on her hand. Where was the space?

Where had the promised space gone?

She couldn't sense anything at all.

The moment that thought crossed her mind, her vision went black. When she opened her eyes again, she was already standing on a stretch of black, barren land where not a blade of grass grew.

Jiang You looked around.

Behind her stood a small fenced courtyard with three rooms.

The house had clearly long been abandoned, and the fence leaned in all directions.

She walked into the courtyard and found a dried-up well inside.

Where was this?

The space?

Could it be that this bracelet was not merely a storage space, but somewhere one could actually enter?

Looking down, she saw that the bracelet on her hand had disappeared. In its place was a red mole on the inner side of her right wrist, vivid red like cinnabar.

She had never had a red mole on her wrist.

So there was only one explanation: this mole was the bracelet.

But since this bracelet could turn into a mole to hide itself, why had it been worn so openly on Li Yingyue's wrist in her previous life?

And since this space could admit living things, why had Li Yingyue never put any living creatures inside?

Li Yingyue only had spatial abilities and was timid, so Jiang You had accompanied her every time she collected supplies.

So Jiang You was certain that Li Yingyue's space could not store living things.

Jiang You tried it, silently chanting in her mind, Out, out.

Sure enough, the next second, she was back in her own room.

She was both shocked and delighted. This bracelet's capabilities far exceeded her expectations.

Since there was land, that meant she could grow things!

She hurried back into the space and went into the little house to inspect it.

Of the three rooms, one was the main hall, one was a bedroom, and the one at the far end was the kitchen.

Most of the furniture in the bedroom and main hall had already deteriorated. At the slightest touch of her hand, it turned to dust.

In the kitchen, only a bare earthen stove stood there, along with a rusted iron pot that crumbled into pieces with a gentle squeeze.

Just as she was about to open the wooden cabinet, the moment she pulled the door open, there was a crash.

The cabinet collapsed, sending dust flying everywhere.

"Cough, cough!"

Jiang You waved away the dust in the air and took several steps back.

Then she found an entrance to a cellar behind the kitchen.

The cellar was pitch-black, and she could only see layers of steps vanishing into the darkness.

Jiang You took a flashlight, switched it on, and followed the winding stairs downward by its beam.

But after she truly entered, she realized it could not simply be described as a cellar.

Beneath the little house was an enormous underground warehouse.

It was incredibly spacious—the underground warehouse of the space was as large as the land aboveground!

To be safe, Jiang You first tested the storage capabilities of the space.

After repeatedly trying to take things in and out of the space, she successfully got the hang of it.

She took two ice cream bars and placed one on the surface of the space and the other in the underground warehouse.

When she entered the space again a few hours later, she found that the ice cream left on the surface had completely melted into a puddle.

But the ice cream in the underground warehouse was exactly the same as when she had put it in, without the slightest damage.

This proved that time flowed differently aboveground and in the cellar of the space!

Time passed normally on the surface, but in the underground warehouse, it was practically frozen!

What did frozen time mean?

At that thought, Jiang You's breathing quickened.

It meant she would not have to worry about expiration dates at all when stockpiling supplies!

She could even put prepared meals in the underground storage and simply take them out whenever she wanted to eat!

The space was roughly several hundred mu in size, with a transparent barrier like glass around its edges.

She reached out and gently touched it. The barrier felt as soft as jelly, but she could not break through it.

After staying in the space for around half an hour, she began to feel dizzy and lightheaded, so she quickly left.

After repeated tests, Jiang You discovered that she could not remain in the space for long periods.

However, the little goldfish in the fish tank she had placed inside remained alive the entire time.

Perhaps intelligent creatures like humans could not stay in the space for extended periods, while ordinary small animals could live there.

She would confirm it when she had the chance later.

Jiang You sighed. It seemed her dream of filling the space with supplies and retiring there had fallen through.

Now that she had a space, did she even need to think about what to do next?

Of course, she had to stockpile supplies!

Jiang You took out a small notebook and first wrote down all the supplies she could think of that she needed to store.

Then she opened her phone, looking things up and adding to the list as she went.
