Chapter 404: Chapter 403: Space Upgrades Again 3 Chapter 404: Chapter 403: Space Upgrades Again 3 “Don’t worry, it won’t happen. Let’s eat first, and after we finish, I’ll go upstairs and check on things. These past few days, I’ve noticed that Captain Tang hasn’t come home much. I’ll steam a couple more sweet potatoes and bring them up to him later.”

“I think that’s a good idea.”

The empty medicine box on the table with the books, the cool breeze seeping in through the cracks of the window, gently stirring a few pages.

At this moment, next to the house in the space, Su Shu, drenched in sweat and turning the soil, looked at the remaining third that was yet to be turned and felt her whole body heating up with fatigue.

Since that night he left, Tang Zelin had sent her a message.

I won’t be coming home for a while, I’m on a mission.

She had wanted to talk to him about Ji Dong, but that was now put on hold. She had asked Xiao’ai once more whether Ji Dong would be in danger in the coming days. The answer she got was a shake of the head, which eased the weight off Su Shu’s heart a bit.

She’d wait for Tang Zelin to finish his business and come back before discussing it.

She had no idea what kind of mission Tang Zelin was on.

She didn’t let her mind wander to other possibilities because in her previous life, she had never seen humans with tails.

With the man not at home, aside from going down the mountain to the hospital to visit Bai Qinghuan who was recovering, Su Shu didn’t have much else to do. Shen Han seemed to have disappeared suddenly as well, not showing up since that day at the hospital.

As for Jiang Meili, who had always been at odds with her, Su Shu was even less inclined to pay attention, wondering whether that young lady had used her connections to sneak back to her home in Capital City.

Suddenly having a lot of free time, Su Shu turned her attention to her own space.

Winter is coming.

She felt she couldn’t let her space just sit unused, it deserved some proper research.

The Little Snake King had said that leaving her space as it was seemed a bit wasteful. Since it mentioned the space could be upgraded, why not give it a try and see how it could be upgraded?

Up until now, the space had only been upgraded twice.

The second time, the single-section house expanded into two sections, and a stream and a small forest appeared. The area visible was still not too large; according to the Little Snake King, even with a great effort, it couldn’t travel around it more than a few times.

Upon entering and seeing the vacant land beside the house, Su Shu remembered the various seeds she had collected before the Apocalypse, stored in her warehouse.

Xiao’ai had been ill these past few days, so she hadn’t taken him to old Ge’s house for fear of spreading germs and making the old man sick. Instead, she brought Xiao’ai directly into her space; if someone came looking for them, they’d just step out again.

Life inside the space was definitely more comfortable than the outside.

The temperature was warmer, and while cooking over the fire, it would also heat up the heated brick bed.

In the space, they had chickens and ducks, and two special companions who could talk. Most crucially, ever since Xiao’ai entered the space,

The Little Red Snake, which was the source of headaches for Su Shu, the Little Snake King, and Fox due to its relentless energy and incessant hissing, surprisingly got along perfectly with Xiao’ai.

Pleased with this turn of events, one person and two animals concluded: Indeed, heaven is fair, everything has its match.

The Little Red Snake liked Xiao’ai a lot. Whenever she entered the space, it would neither suck on Fox nor chase after the Little Snake King; it simply followed Xiao’ai around.

Wherever she went, it followed.

When she ate, it would also open its mouth, wanting some.

When she slept, it would coil beside her, accompanying her in slumber.

The Little Snake King was just short of wanting to erect a statue for Xiao’ai in the space for finally getting rid of that half-witted little troublemaker.

As for the other, Fox, there was a silent hint of loss. After so many years of playing the role of a foster father, suddenly to be… sigh.
