Chapter 5: Is Your Space Still My Space?

Chapter 5: Is Your Space Yours or Mine?

Gu Xue nodded, accepting this compensation.

As for Hei Ya, she couldn't be touched for now; there would be plenty of time in the future.

Watching Wang Dahua lead Hei Ya away, Gu Xue suddenly said, "Since Hei Ya can produce so much money, does Auntie Dahua have a lot of savings at home?"

As soon as these words were spoken, one could see Wang Dahua's grip on Hei Ya's hand tighten, her movements becoming increasingly coarse.

The Brigade Captain and Auntie Gu saw that there was nothing wrong and returned to the fields to work; they hadn't finished their tasks yet.

Once everyone had left, Gu Qianshan finally parked the bicycle. In his hand, he held two catties of pork with a thick layer of fat on top, looking very tempting.

"Ah Xue, it's all Grandpa's fault for not coming back sooner and letting you be bullied." As he spoke, he stroked Gu Xue's head, his expression a complete contrast to how he had treated the others just moments ago.

Gu Xue looked at Gu Qianshan's gentle face and rubbed against his hand like a little kitten.

"It's not Grandpa's fault. It's just that they feel uncomfortable seeing our family living well, so they act like this. We just need to live our own lives well from now on."

Gu Xue wasn't wrong. Too many people had come to watch the commotion today, and no one had stepped up to speak for her.

Furthermore, based on the memories of how the Gu family lived, she knew that most people in this village were jealous of them.

In this era, even eating one's fill was a difficulty. As long as one was a normal person, seeing the Gu family living comfortably would make them feel uneasy.

How could Gu Qianshan not understand? But looking at his little granddaughter's fair and tender skin, he simply couldn't bear to let his precious granddaughter suffer even a bit of hardship.

"Ah Xue hasn't eaten yet, right? Wait for Grandpa to make something delicious for you. Once your body is recovered, you won't have to fear them anymore." Gu Qianshan took the pork into the kitchen.

Gu Xue looked at the mess in the courtyard and slowly went over to clean it up.

In her memories, Gu Qianshan rarely let Gu Xue do these things; even her clothes, Gu Qianshan would help wash.

Aside from her own intimate clothing, Gu Xue had never done any real chores.

Thus, her cleaning looked somewhat clumsy.

Fortunately, there wasn't much in the courtyard that needed organizing; she just had to tidy up the area Hei Ya had ransacked.

By the time Gu Qianshan was cooking, the courtyard had already been cleaned spotless.

Coming out, he was slightly stunned by the clean courtyard, then said with a smile, "Ah Xue is so capable, being able to do so much. You truly are Grandpa's good girl."

Hearing Gu Qianshan's praise, Gu Xue felt a bit embarrassed.

"Not at all, I only did a little bit. Grandpa, your praise makes me feel shy."

The grandfather and granddaughter spent a pleasant time together. After some happy words of instruction, Gu Qianshan told Gu Xue to go back to her room to rest while he finished the meal.

In the rural areas of this era, there wasn't much entertainment, so everyone ate quite early and mostly rested early after their meals.

Gu Xue returned to her room. Only when there was no more movement from the adjacent room did she finally relax.

Gu Qianshan was too perceptive; she didn't dare lower her guard even a little. It was only after returning to the kitchen that she had time to inspect her body.

She utilized her superpower, running it through a cycle in her body.

She discovered a life was about to form in her belly. Without a second thought, she used her superpower to expel the thing that did not belong to her.

This must be the accidental pregnancy from the original plot.

She had no intention of raising a child. As for the accident with that male educated youth, she treated it as nothing more than a one-night stand and didn't take it seriously at all.

She, Gu Xue!

An ability user from the apocalypse, an ability user who could live an exceptionally prosperous life, possessing both Space and Wood-type dual abilities, eating and drinking well in the end times.

If it hadn't been for encountering the Zombie King and perishing with that ghostly thing, she would still be living a very comfortable life in her previous world.

Her abilities had awakened before the apocalypse began, and after the apocalypse started, her space had become very large.

When things completely fell into chaos, she had looted several large supermarkets and over a dozen small ones.

These supplies were enough to let her live well for several hundred years.

Thinking of this, Gu Xue suddenly wanted to check her space.

Upon looking, she was instantly delighted.

The items inside were still there, but because her abilities had dropped to the lowest level in this body, she couldn't access things in many places.

What surprised Gu Xue most was that in a corner, a crystal emitting five-colored light was lying there quietly.

If she wasn't mistaken, this was the Zombie King's core.

Looking at this core, Gu Xue's mouth curled into a wide grin.

Although she couldn't take it now, based on the distance, she would be able to once her ability reached the fourth rank.

With the Zombie King's core, she wouldn't have to worry about energy in the future.

The energy in this single core was enough to carry her to the seventh rank, which would allow her to live very comfortably in this world.

After coming out, she suddenly thought of something and took a green pendant from around her neck.

The pendant looked crystal clear and was very beautiful.

According to Gu Qianshan, this was a memento left by her mother. Gu Xue had always cherished it and kept it around her neck.

This was also Hei Ya's future "golden finger," which would bring her great changes in the future.

At this thought, Gu Xue gripped the pendant tightly.

This was her thing; no one else could covet it.

According to the plot in her memories, Hei Ya would cut her palm in an accident, allowing the pendant to recognize its master.

Gu Xue slit her own hand, letting the entire pendant be coated in her blood, but there was no change at all.

Gu Xue, who had been in a good mood, suddenly turned cold.

This pendant was rejecting her.

So, it could recognize the female lead Hei Ya, but it couldn't recognize her, the cannon fodder female supporting character?

That was absolutely impossible. This was her thing; if it couldn't be used by her, then don't blame her.

With that thought, Gu Xue treated the pendant like a core and began to absorb it continuously. It was difficult at first, but then it was as if a certain opening had been forced open.

The energy within the pendant continuously surged into Gu Xue's body.

How comfortable!

Gu Xue narrowed her eyes, looking as if she were enjoying it.

The pendant, which originally refused to absorb Gu Xue's blood, began to slowly grow dim.

Just as it was about to turn into powder, it began to absorb Gu Xue's blood.

Gu Xue looked at the pendant with a cold sneer, showing no intention of stopping.

At that moment, the light of the pendant went completely dark.

Then, in an instant, it suddenly became extremely brilliant, looking even more beautiful than before.

Looking at the pendant, it had now merged with Gu Xue's space ability. The little space sprite that appeared in the original plot was completely gone.

It had turned into energy, merging completely with Gu Xue.

"What a stubborn little thing. A pity!"

Gu Xue was never a pushover. A woman who could live comfortably in the apocalypse was not a little sheep that anyone could bully.

Returning to her ability space, she now had several acres of farmland and a spiritual spring. She could feel that these two things would slowly grow along with the increase of her abilities.

Not bad at all!
