“Ah? What’s going on? Is there a story here?”

The old lady smiled and said, “Oh, she has a sweet tooth like Zihan. While in the Capital managing the family’s business, she got bored at night and sneaked into Prince Shunqin’s residence by climbing over the wall to steal food from the kitchen. The young prince saw her, and since then, he couldn’t forget her. He vowed to marry her, and that’s how their love story began.”

Qiao Mai widened her eyes in surprise. “Wow, did I accidentally become involved with a future princess?”

“Hehe, you’re quite witty. You don’t care, but you act like you do.”

“I do care. Who said I don’t care? Having a powerful ally can come in handy, and you never know when I might need it. So, is Jiaru in the Capital now?”

“Yes, her father couldn’t go, so her mother took her there, and they’ve arranged the wedding date with the groom’s family.”

“Does that mean I won’t get to see her anymore?”

“The Capital isn’t too far from here. It’s a ten-day journey by carriage. If you ride a horse yourself, it’ll only take four or five days. By the time you reach, her dowry will have already been transported to the Capital. She told me that once the date is confirmed, she’ll inform you about it. At that time, you can go to the Capital with me and attend her wedding.”

“Alright, I’ll bring my family along when the time comes. We’ll go to the

Capital, broaden our horizons, stay there for a few days, and taste the local

cuisine.”

“That’s a good idea. Don’t stay cooped up at home all the time. I also have a house over there. You won’t need to stay in an inn or the main residence of the Wang family. It’ll be more comfortable.”

“Got it. Will she be restricted from going out in the future?”

“Not really. Otherwise, she wouldn’t agree to the marriage. She’s used to wandering around outside.”

“Oh, then I should prepare some special gifts for her.”

“If my guess is correct, the wedding should be in September this year. What will you give her? Fruits? Vegetables? Snacks?”

“Hehe, I won’t tell you right now. Anyway, I’m using connections to find a way, but I want to give her something nice.”

“You’re thoughtful, but don’t overexert yourself.”

“I won’t. Keep it a secret.”

At night, when everyone in the Qiao family had gone to sleep, Qiao Mai entered her space.

After several nights of hard work, her space now had nearly a million acres of land, and she wanted to witness the space’s upgrade with her own eyes.

With over nine hundred thousand acres of grassland, it was enough for animals to roam freely.

Now, she wanted to plant bamboo. Her goal was to create a bamboo forest and harvest fresh bamboo shoots.

She had piled up many newly sprouted bamboo shoots by the side, which she had planted a few nights ago. She had saved up ten thousand acres of bamboo shoots.

Bamboo didn’t need to be densely planted. It would grow by spreading underground. Planting them sparsely, she would soon have a dense bamboo forest.

After clearing ten thousand acres of land, she planted a bamboo shoot every ten meters. That meant sixty plants per acre, which totaled six hundred thousand bamboo shoots for ten thousand acres of land.

The bamboo shoots were stacked like small mountains. With a thought, Qiao Mai planted them into the soil, leaving half of them exposed.

Looking at the few large buckets of purified water nearby, she used her telekinesis to sprinkle the water onto the soil. Qiao Mai couldn’t help but feel frustrated because the water source was insufficient.

She hoped that after this space upgrade, it would provide enough water. She also wished for an increase in the concentration of spiritual energy in the air. Recently, she has been selling products online and accumulated a considerable amount of gold. She hadn’t dared to use the exchanged spirit stones yet, as they weren’t enough to advance to the next level. She was waiting to obtain a Level Five space before ascending to the next stage.

Otherwise, the spiritual energy wouldn’t be sufficient.

Lately, she had gained some understanding of cultivation. To break free from her predicament, she had to choose a profession in the cultivation world.

She would produce items used in that profession and exchange them for spirit stones.

Fortunately, her spiritual energy had attributes of gold, wood, and fire. According to the books, she could cultivate alchemy and artifact forging. Of course, she could also dabble in other areas like talismans and formations.

The more attributes, the better, but she thought it would be exhausting to master too many. Mastering one or two would be enough.

Since her major in college was mechanical engineering, alchemy and artifact forging were the most suitable for her.

However, there was a prerequisite. She needed materials for artifact forging, which were even more expensive than spirit stones. She couldn’t afford them.

But what suited her best was alchemy.

She had a heaven-defying space. With the spiritual energy, she could cultivate spiritual herbs. She could replicate a spiritual herb field, and with the unlimited harvesting function, she wouldn’t run out of medicinal herbs for alchemy.

She wouldn’t hesitate to use herbs for her practice, and she could also sell them. Once she mastered these skills, she wouldn’t need to sell fruits and vegetables.

As she planted bamboo shoots, Qiao Mai indulged in these thoughts, practicing a dual focus.

After watering ten thousand acres of land, she looked back at the bamboo shoots. There weren’t many left.

With a thought, she stripped the outer layers of the bamboo shoots and piled them in a corner, watching as they slowly disappeared.

Qiao Mai looked at the sky, surveyed her surroundings, and was confident that the space had its own consciousness.

It knew what could be purified and what couldn’t. Qiao Mai thought about it; maybe she would see a Space Spirit evolve in the end.

Without doing anything, Qiao Mai sat down at the edge of the land and observed the bamboo shoots.

They said that bamboo shoots grew taller after the rain, and that was indeed the case. After watering, the bamboo shoots grew rapidly, sprouting a section now and then, accompanied by a popping sound.

It was the sound of them growing and sprouting. Qiao Mai watched it attentively and was fascinated.

This was the growth of all things. Nature was filled with endless wonders.

Qiao Mai wasn’t satisfied with just watching. With a single thought, she appeared in the sky.

This was her space, her territory, and she could do as she pleased. She could view it from any angle she desired.

Qiao Mai felt that life was truly magnificent, not just for animals but also for plants. They all strived to survive, to reproduce, and to thrive.

As she watched the bamboo grow to six meters, their growth rate gradually slowed, and the land beside them began to expand slowly. She saw how the space was replicating itself.

It was amazing, like an illusion at first, gradually becoming more lifelike and eventually becoming an identical bamboo forest. Ten thousand acres had turned into twenty thousand, which was truly unbelievable.

At this point, the bamboo forest had slowed its growth but was still expanding slowly.

It was as if this replicated land was redistributing its nutrients and repairing itself.

Qiao Mai clicked her tongue twice and then descended from the sky. As soon as she landed on the ground, she felt the earth shake beneath her feet.

She had never experienced an earthquake, but she had seen it on TV, and what she felt now was no different from an earthquake.

The shaking continued for about an hour before finally stopping. Qiao Mai could feel a slight mist in the air. She quickly closed her eyes to check.

Space Level Five has an additional two million acres of land, a spiritual river, and a fifty percent concentration of spiritual energy.

Oh my, it finally has water! It’s been really tough. Damn it.

With a single thought, Qiao Mai appeared next to the spiritual river. She had imagined it to be as turbulent as the Yellow River, but when she saw it, it was just a tiny stream, about two meters wide.

This was probably the early stage of the spiritual river. As the space continued to upgrade, it might become wider.

Looking left and right, Qiao Mai couldn’t see the end of the spiritual river in either direction.

When she looked down, the spiritual river was crystal clear, about one meter deep, with pebbles at the bottom arranged beautifully.

She squatted down, reached out, and touched the water. It was neither cold nor hot, about the same temperature as the air here.

Perfect. She could come here for a bath in the future..
