CHAPTER 331: CHAPTER 70: A NEW LOOK FOR THE SPACE

Xiao Xian’s first action upon arriving was to stare blankly at the snow-white hospital ceiling, and secondly, to smack her lips.

Her lips were a bit swollen. Looking around, why was she still in the hospital? Scanning the vicinity, her eyes caught sight of Zhuo Feng who was sprawled on the bed.

Hearing the movement in the hospital bed, Zhuo Feng woke up with a start.

"Xiao Xian? Xiao Xian! You scared me to death, how could you just disappear from the emergency room and end up on the hospital’s lawn?" Zhuo Feng was nearly scared to death by Xiao Xian’s bizarre disappearance. After the firefighters pried open the emergency room door, finding it empty sent Zhuo Feng fainting.

Zhuo Feng came to the next morning. Feng Xing, who had been watchdogging beside the bed, said that Xiao Xian had been found on the hospital’s lawn. When she was found, her high fever had already subsided.

"Have I been here all along?" Xiao Xian twisted her neck, not feeling any discomfort in her body, but filled with new strength, feeling ineffably comfortable all over.

Zhuo Feng hesitated. The emergency room was on the second floor. It wasn’t that high, but the attending doctor said Xiao Xian was semi-conscious when brought to the emergency room. In such a state, one might do things that are hard for human strength to imagine, and there was a lawn right under the emergency room.

"I’ve been here all the time," to avoid Xiao Xian overthinking, Zhuo Feng could only hide the brief disappearance.

This time, Xiao Xian didn’t leave the hospital after two days as before, but stayed until the school year started under Zhuo Feng’s threats and enticements, and only then did she leave the hospital after a full check-up.

During this time, Xiao Xian also looked for Zhou Ziang, having heard that he had been discharged on the evening of her first release.

Were his injuries already healed? With such a question in mind, Xiao Xian returned home.

During her second hospital stay, a lot had happened. Two things both shocked and delighted Xiao Xian.

The daffodil cultivated together by Bai Juyi and Mei Xiang was ultimately selected as the top among the ten famous flowers at this winter’s International Flower Expo. As a participant, Zhuo Feng received a prize of ten thousand yuan and was also awarded a forty-eight-hour gardening course taught by expert-level gardeners.

During those days in the hospital, Xiao Xian was regulating the Spiritual Energy in her body, and she only realized the space upgrade after entering the space. When she stepped into the space again, she almost thought she had entered the wrong space.

After a great deal of effort adjusting the Cloud Ascension Technique, Xiao Xian finally managed to steady her footing on the seemingly boundless water surface.

"White Flood Dragon, come out," Xiao Xian looked around for the figures of Little White Jiao and the sugarcane seedling.

During the time she was ill and unconscious, there were far greater changes happening in the space. With several splashes, the White Flood Dragon frolicked in the water without a care for its image. With a flick of a Jiao Long’s tail followed by a leap, it was having the time of its life.

"If you don’t stop, I’ll strip off your Jiao Long tendons," Xiao Xian hadn’t read Journey to the West, but she had heard of Ne Zha’s story. Suddenly, there was a lake in her space, and with White Flood Dragon’s splashing, she got drenched. The water that clung to her skin felt ice-cold and did not dissipate.

"Little master, you’re awake. It’s said ’one sleeps soundly in the spring dream,’ I thought you’d sleep till dawn," Xiao Xian only found out today that Little White Jiao was actually a flirtatious Jiao; the way it spoke was as sleazy as one could get.

"What luck with the ladies, why has the space turned out like this? This pond better not have been made by you," after White Flood Dragon entered Beijing City, it became one confined to various man-made ponds, several times wanting to perform Cloud Formation and Rainfall in the space, but no matter how much "space rain" it brought down, the soil in the space didn’t seem to moisten or soften.

It wasn’t so bad when Xiao Xian was not on holiday; Sacred Heart Middle School had a man-made lake where White Flood Dragon could roll around quietly at night and catch some snails and carps to eat.

Since Xiao Xian started winter vacation, in another careless incident, it took a bath in a famous university’s so-called ’Worry Lake’ and was discovered by a couple of students on a midnight date. The next day, it made the morning paper’s headlines, and Xiao Xian had it grounded.

Now though, the benefit of upgrading from a copper space to a Silver-grade Space was surprisingly huge; the whole space turned into a massive expanse of lakes, with no end in sight.

"So you’re saying after the space was upgraded it became this big lake, but what about the sugarcane seedling? I hope it hasn’t been washed away by the flood," Xiao Xian hurriedly searched around the water surface.
