There was an old saying: one day in a cave, a thousand years in the world.
It still applied to the current situation. After finishing Xu Shi's first round of training for the little empress, he discovered that time seemed to flow differently in the Liminal Space than it did outside. Overall, it was much slower.
Since it was their first time, and they had already spent some time beforehand, he had deliberately held back during Dongfang Xiao's first lesson. Even at the fullest estimate, it had only lasted an hour.
Yet after he deactivated his ability and returned to reality, only fifteen minutes had passed on the wall clock. The ratio was one to four.
So that was how it worked? He vaguely remembered that his previous mental exchange with Miss Black Rabbit had not been like this. That time, it had been one to one.
But that use of the Liminal Space had not been complete either. At most, they had connected to the same channel, rather than creating the fully enclosed space they had now... Perhaps that was the difference?
Oh-ho, this was interesting.
Didn't that mean he could squeeze out even more time in the future... That was the first thought that appeared in certain someone's mind. After all, when he visited Dongfang Xiao later, there would be other things to do too. His good fiancée's complications needed treatment as well, right?
That was simply wonderful... As for anything else, he would not consider it for the time being. He had none of the drive that protagonists in traditional fantasy cultivation stories showed after discovering a treasure that could compress time, immediately burying themselves in desperate training.
That just was not his style. Sorry, he could not do it.
"Hey, how do you feel?"
Xu Shi
