After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 143: Digging a Well

Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Digging a Well

Chairman An learned the ins and outs from Shen Antai and couldn’t help but remark that fools do indeed have their own kind of luck.

At the same time, he also felt somewhat relieved.

Thankfully, Shen Antai had come back alive; otherwise, he would have been overwhelmed with guilt.

After all, his visit to Lingyao Mountain to search for treasures was also to save his granddaughter.

Fortunately, the outcome was a positive one.

...

Shi Yaoguang didn’t stay long at the base, and she asked Shen Antai if he wanted to go back with her.

After learning that he wanted to stay behind to catch up with old friends, which was really an excuse to boast, she returned alone.

Of course, before leaving, she left a Marrow Cleansing Pill for Shen Antai.

As for its effects, she didn’t need to explain further; Shen Antai understood on his own.

Having been in pursuit of the path of cultivation for many years, he had no practical progress but his theoretical knowledge was still there.

While driving, Shi Yaoguang suddenly remembered Quan Jinbei mentioning he was going on a business trip.

Thinking that he would be away for at least a week, Shi Yaoguang didn’t feel much like returning.

Recalling the Spiritual Spring she had seen in the cave at the base of Lingyao Mountain, she took a detour to the mountain.

Upon entering the mountain, she produced her Spirit Sword and, flying on the sword, arrived at the cave with great efficiency.

The Spiritual Spring she had seen the night before was still there, gushing water from its source as if a fountain had been installed underwater.

Using her Divine Sense to probe the water for Spiritual Treasures, she unexpectedly discovered that the spring seemed to be connected to another space.

This was a bit...

Unexpected.

Shi Yaoguang had originally thought that the reason why the Spiritual Energy was denser in Lingyao Mountain than outside was because there was some treasure influencing the local feng shui.

Now it seemed she was mistaken.

The reason why the Spiritual Energy was so dense inside the mountain was precisely due to the spiritual spring being connected to some other space on the other side.

As for what kind of existence that space was, she couldn’t be sure.

Speaking of spaces, she had one herself.

Unlike technological objects such as Space Buttons, her space belonged to the category of the Spirit Treasure Secret Realm.

She had obtained it through a self-sacrificial act in a supersized world.

The process was a bit convoluted, but the space itself was genuinely beneficial.

It just lacked a spiritual spring.

Shi Yaoguang thought it over and dug a well in her own space.

She then attempted to channel the water from the spring into it.

The existence of a Spiritual Spring was due to a special source.

If the source wasn’t there to enhance it, then the spiritual spring would be no different from regular well water.

Shi Yaoguang specifically channeled water close to the source into her space, and after waiting for a moment, seeing that the spiritual spring she brought in didn’t change in quality, she couldn’t help but laugh.

This was truly no small gain!

Shi Yaoguang’s actions of digging a well in her space were quite noticeable, and Zhao Ye, who was stuffed into a glass bottle and tossed into the space, saw it all.

Watching Shi Yaoguang wielding a large treasure sword and easily digging out a well, he was completely dumbfounded.

Is this really human?

As it turned out, she wasn’t.

Zhao Ye witnessed her channeling clear spring water from beyond the sky into the well, and casually bringing down a rain of spiritual spring water, watering the entire space.

Zhao Ye grumbled and complained inside the glass bottle for the better part of the day, but Shi Yaoguang paid him no attention, leaving him to sulk in the corner and grow mushrooms.

Shi Yaoguang wasn’t intentionally ignoring him—it’s just...

She had forgotten about him.

Although she could hear the noises from the glass bottle, wasn’t that what she didn’t want to listen to?

...

After cultivating a spiritual spring well, Shi Yaoguang was happy the entire night.

This happiness persisted until she went to school the next day.

As soon as she got to the school gate, she was blocked by someone.

Seeing the shadow obstructing her path, Shi Yaoguang muttered to herself in her heart, who is this blind person looking for trouble?

When she looked up, she met Quan Sicheng’s displeased gaze.

Shi Yaoguang wanted to maintain her good mood and didn’t feel like dealing with him.

So, she pretended not to see him and walked in another direction.

Quan Sicheng’s questioning words got stuck in his throat.

Watching Shi Yaoguang as she was about to walk away, he couldn’t help but call out, "Shi Yaoguang!"

Shi Yaoguang felt that her mood was ruined.

Looking for a lesson, was he?

Fine.

She would satisfy him.

With that thought, she raised her hand and gave him a sharp smack on the head.

Quan Sicheng had not anticipated that she would suddenly hit him, and before he could react, a small bump swelled on his forehead.

He touched it with his hand, his face full of disbelief: "How can you be so strong?"

"This is strong?" Shi Yaoguang raised her eyebrows slightly, her tone tinged with disdain, "How can my son be so clueless?"

Quan Sicheng was about to say it wasn’t that he was clueless, but that she was too strange.

Then he saw her already standing in front of him, her face less than two centimeters from his.

Their breaths mingled, so close they could touch.

Quan Sicheng’s heart inexplicably started to race.

However, the tender feelings that had just begun to stir in his heart were quickly replaced by a wave of pain.

Shi Yaoguang’s foot stepped on the back of his foot.

The pain that shot through his foot was so sharp and clear that he felt an impulse to drop dead on the spot.

"Ow—"

He let out a sharp cry, feeling as if his foot might be torn to shreds.

Fortunately, that was just an illusion.

He moved his foot, and although it was numb with pain, it still had feeling.

While Quan Sicheng breathed a sigh of relief, a stifling emotion arose in his heart.

He had come to confront Shi Yaoguang with his grievances, not to be masochistic!

As it turned out, since their engagement was called off, most of his encounters with Shi Yaoguang involved getting beaten.

Even if he wasn’t getting beaten, it was on the way to getting beaten.

Otherwise, he was being bombarded with baseless accusations.

Thinking this, Quan Sicheng’s anger rose from his heart, and naturally, he wanted to settle both new and old scores all at once.

"Shi Yaoguang, no matter what you say today, I’m not going to let you off easily!"

Shi Yaoguang showed a mocking expression, "Do I need you to let me off?"

Quan Sicheng: "..."

He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

His gaze towards her was filled with disgust: "Don’t think that by acting like this, you can attract my attention. I’m telling you, that’s impossible!"

"No matter what tactics you use, I will never fall in love with you!"

Shi Yaoguang: "???"

She looked at Quan Sicheng as if he were an idiot: "What are you talking about? Is your brain broken? Do you need me to perform surgery to open your skull?"

Quan Sicheng, acting like he couldn’t understand human language, still had that arrogant expression, "Don’t think you can cover up your intentions by saying that! You’ve done so much, isn’t it all to force me?"

Shi Yaoguang struggled to contain the urge to stab him, her molars clenched as she asked, "What have I done? What intentions do I have?"

Quan Sicheng put on an air of superiority and looked down upon her with scorn, "Still want to argue? Can you say that everything you’ve done wasn’t because of me? Did you not marry my dad because of me?"
