Chapter 190: Chapter 190: He’d Even Tie Her to His Side
Shen Nian had already taken a bath, so after brushing her teeth and washing her face back in their room, Lu Cheng urged her to get into bed.
While Lu Cheng was in the bathroom showering, Shen Nian slipped into her space.
Shen Nian had been so busy with other things the past few days that she’d neglected her space. Now that she was inside, she discovered it had flourished in just a short time.
The fruit trees she had transplanted were now all laden with fruit. It didn’t matter if they were in season or not; as long as Shen Nian planted them in her space, they bore fruit. The seasonal restrictions that applied to the outside world simply didn’t exist here!
’This is even more incredible than the high-tech greenhouses of the future! And most importantly, the quality of things grown in this space is unmatched by any other cultivation method.’
Shen Nian picked a few cherries and tried one. Mmm, they were delicious! ’I’ll take some of each fruit out with me later,’ she thought, ’so Lu Cheng can try them too.’
Over in the spirit field, the Lingzhi and ginseng were thriving. Many new shoots had sprouted beside them. Given enough time, they would surely multiply.
Shen Nian had previously tried planting the many Spiritual Medicine seeds she’d found in the space into the spirit field. Now, the harvest was proving to be excellent.
As expected of Spiritual Medicine seeds, once they matured, the Spiritual Energy in the space seemed to grow much denser.
Moreover, the space itself seemed to have expanded a little more. While the growth wasn’t as significant as the two times with the Lingzhi and ginseng, Shen Nian could now faintly make out the silhouette of a distant hillside.
’Looks like if I keep working at it, a whole mountain forest might appear in this space! I wonder if there will be other amazing things in there too?’
After practicing the Acupuncture Technique her master had left her and reading through his notes for a while, Shen Nian realized she had been in the space for quite some time.
And this time, her physical body had entered, not just her consciousness.
’Lu Cheng must be out of the shower by now. He’ll have noticed I’m gone. I hope my sudden disappearance didn’t scare him...’
At that thought, Shen Nian quickly exited the space and returned to the bedroom.
Sure enough, the moment she reappeared, she saw Lu Cheng’s anxious face.
When Lu Cheng had finished his shower and stepped out of the bathroom, he discovered Shen Nian was gone from the room.
At first, he thought she had just stepped out of the room. But after searching the entire house and not finding her, he started to grow anxious.
Fortunately, Lu Cheng already knew about her space. He knew her physical body could enter it, so he understood that she must have gone inside.
However, even knowing where she had gone, her sudden disappearance still made him extremely anxious.
Lu Cheng paced the room restlessly. It wasn’t until he finally saw Shen Nian reappear that his heart could finally settle.
He immediately stood and rushed forward, pulling the woman who had just reappeared before him tightly into his embrace.
Held tightly in his arms, Shen Nian could feel his tension and worry.
"I’m sorry. I was just in the space for a bit and forgot to tell you beforehand. Did I scare you?"
Lu Cheng didn’t answer, only hugging her tighter.
"I know."
He knew perfectly well where she was, but watching her vanish right before his eyes made his heart feel like a piece was missing. It wasn’t until she reappeared that his heart felt whole again.
Lu Cheng held her for a long time before letting go. He had been so happy lately, so happy that it felt like a dream.
He was terrified that he would wake up and she would once again be impossibly far away.
"You’re mine. You’re mine!"
’Now that he had her, he would never let go. Even if he had to tie her down, he would keep her by his side forever!’
