Chapter 9: Transmigration Benefits

If it weren't for the original owner's father saving the Chen family's grandmother and grandson from the jaws of a wolf back then, the grass on their graves would likely be quite tall by now. This engagement was also something they had initiated themselves by coming to the door. Yet now, not only did they want to break their promise, but they had even hired someone to harm the original owner.

By the time she managed to suppress the fury in her heart, she discovered that she was clutching a handful of wood shavings. She was stunned for a moment: what was going on?

It took her a long while to realize that because she had been so angry, she had grabbed a piece of firewood from the woodpile beside her.

Looking at the woodpile again, a section of the firewood she had just grabbed was missing. She couldn't even be bothered to be angry anymore; she turned her hands over and over, staring at them. How much strength would it take to crush such hard firewood into shavings?

She shook the wood shavings off her hands and found another, slightly thicker piece of firewood to hold.

With a squeeze, that piece of firewood shattered into dust.

Liu Chuxue was no longer calm. Was this a transmigration perk granted by the heavens?

After trying it repeatedly several times, she finally believed that she truly possessed: brute strength.

If the location hadn't been inappropriate, she would have really wanted to roar a few times to express the excitement she felt at this very moment. Wasn't there a saying: in the face of absolute force, all schemes and tricks are nothing but floating clouds.

With this strength, combined with the martial arts moves she had learned in her past life for self-defense, her future safety was now guaranteed.

She looked up toward the Ge family courtyard not far away. Through the low fence, she happened to see two people coming from the backyard.

After seeing who those two were, she suddenly realized something and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Recalling carefully, there had been no movement in the front yard since the Ge family left for work. That meant the grandmother and grandson had been talking in the backyard just now. Did she also have an extra skill: keen hearing?

Her head buzzed: had she gone from being unlucky to having a "lucky koi" constitution?

The string of good fortune left her feeling a bit disoriented.

In her excitement, the Ge family's woodpile suffered. In no time at all, the ground at her feet was covered in wood shavings she had crushed.

She felt wonderful inside, thinking: if only there were a spatial dimension, it would be perfect. Then, taking revenge on those people would be even more satisfying; she would strip their homes bare and see if she couldn't scare them to death.

While thinking these pleasant thoughts, she muttered to herself, "When the time comes, I'll just have to silently chant 'collect, collect, collect'."

As soon as she said this, the woodpile beside her vanished into thin air, scaring Liu Chuxue so much she nearly screamed.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and, imitating what she had read in novels, silently chanted, "Come out, come out."

In an instant, the woodpile returned to its original position.

Liu Chuxue wiped the cold sweat from her forehead: "That really scared the life out of me."

Thinking of her hypothesis, her blood pressure soared.

Seeing the stones behind her that the Ge family had prepared for building an addition to their house, she silently chanted, "Collect."

But the stones didn't budge. She was completely bewildered: could it be that she was hallucinating?

Refusing to give up, she slapped her hand onto the stone closest to her: "Collect."

The pile of stones in front of her vanished instantly, and at the same time, a place with mountains and water flashed into her consciousness.

After confirming repeatedly that she had indeed received a massive stroke of luck, her wonderful mood was beyond words, yet she couldn't figure out where the medium for this space had come from.

Before she could further explore the space, she heard Old Lady Ge's voice: "Baocheng, I'm heading out. Close the courtyard gate properly before you rest."

Ge Baocheng responded, but after Old Lady Ge left, he didn't come out of the house to close the gate.

Since Old Lady Ge had a hand in plotting against the original owner, she naturally deserved a lesson, and the fact that the gate was left open was just convenient for Liu Chuxue.
