Chapter 108: Dishes or Abs?

Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Dishes or Abs?

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow as she asked,

"Is there any particular parameter?"

The space was silent for a long time before saying,

"The more difficult a herb is the more difficult it is to speed up its acceleration speed."

Gu Jin stopped questioning and started to look through the herbs.

The reason why she stopped making pills was because she ran out of the materials.

Looking at the small herb field, Gu Jin decided to use it properly and hence she asked,

"Is there any manual on how to grow them?"

The space’s voice sounded delightful as he asked,

"Master, are you going to grow herbs?"

"Why? Can’t I?" Gu Jin asked with doubt.

She never had something like space in her previous life so she wasn’t very familiar with the use of space.

The reason why she knew about the space was because she had a chatterbox friend once...

Gu Jin paused as she remembered about the friend.

A lump formed in her throat, which she swallowed before anyone could detect it.

But then she thought about how there was no one around and chuckled. Habits can indeed be dangerous.

"Master, are you alright?" The space asked with concern in its voice.

"Hm." Gu Jin said.

"So master as I was saying, usually in order to grow herbs you need seed. However, in this space, you only need to cut the herbs and spread them in the dark soil. The dark soil in the space is very nutritious and once you become more powerful the dark soil will definitely have more functions.

Even the space will be upgraded."

"Huh?" Gu Jin was surprised and in order to confirm she asked,

"So, you mean the soil in the space will become even more potent as I grow stronger?"

"Yes, Master," the space confirmed. "The soil in the space is connected to your own power and potential.

As you cultivate and become more powerful, the soil will reflect that growth, becoming richer and more fertile. It’s a symbiotic relationship, each feeding off the other’s energy and strength."

Gu Jin guessed,

"Then the reason why I suddenly feel as if the island is growing...is because of my own cultivation progress?"

"Exactly, Master," the space replied.

"Your increasing power is directly influencing the environment within the space, causing it to expand and flourish in response. It’s a sign of your growing strength and potential."

Gu Jin couldn’t help but feel deeply impressed.

Such a strong artifact...

Combining the Mystic seed, accelerating the speed of herbs, and even expanding as she becomes more powerful...it was truly omnipotent.

Gu Jin stopped her train of thought and carefully plucked out the herbs from the soil, cut them into small pieces, and spread them evenly across the dark, nutrient-rich soil.

She watched with fascination as the herbs seemed to settle into their new environment, already showing signs of growth and vitality.

Once she was done, Gu Jin exited the space and went downstairs.

To be honest she was feeling very hungry. The food in the space had already lessened visibly.

She needs to stock up.

Gu Jin who was never interested in farming, suddenly wanted to farm and grow vegetables in her space.

In her big farm, a small section would be used to grow vegetables and a majority part would be used to grow herbs.

As she reached the dining table, she didn’t see Long Yifan.

Just as she made her way to the kitchen she saw the head butler who was instructing the maid to clean well a particular corner.

"Cough." Gu Jin coughed in order to attract the head butler’s attention.

If she was not so hungry she wouldn’t have tried to attract the head butler’s attention at all.

The head butler looked at Gu Jin calmly and covered the maid by stepping in front of her,

"Miss you are awake. Do you want anything?"

Gu Jin noticed the head butler’s action but she didn’t point it out,

"I am hungry, is there any food?"

The head butler nodded,

"Please sit at the dining table I will ask the maid to prepare something for you."

Gu Jin nodded and made her way to the dining table, taking a seat and waiting for her meal.

The head butler looked at the maid one last time and finally left for Long Yifan’s room after telling the kitchen to prepare something for Gu Jin.

Knock. Knock.

"Come in." Long Yifan said. He was currently tapping on the laptop and looking through some information.

On his side was a dairy containing some marked locations and it looked as if he was trying to guess something.

As the door opened, the head butler stepped into Long Yifan’s room, his expression serious yet composed.

"Young Master," he began respectfully, "Miss Gu has awoken and requested food. The kitchen is preparing something for her."

Long Yifan glanced up from his laptop, his gaze sharp and focused,

"Alright, you can leave. I am coming downstairs. Prepare something for me too and sort out the herbs she had asked for. "

At first Long Yifan was truly confused by Gu Jin’s action. She gave them a list of herbs and asked them to bring it.

However instead of starting the treatment she locked herself in her room for 8 days without even eating anything.

But as time passed he had difficulty finding those herbs. After 8 days when he finally collected all the herbs, Gu Jin came out of her room. It was as if she knew already. How much time would take to find the herbs...

Such an intelligent girl...

What made him at peace was, that even though Gu Jin liked him, she still didn’t deliberately appear in front of him and maintained a distance.

Of course, if he could ignore the slight disappointment in his heart, everything else was fine!

Long Yifan too didn’t know what he was feeling disappointed about.

Disappointed because Gu Jin didn’t come near him or made any attempt to seduce him, even though she had a perfect chance to?

Or disappointed because he could see that Gu Jin never planned to make any move. It was as if she was happy just by looking at him from a distance.

Even though this girl has a thief’s heart, she lacks the courage.

Long Yifan shook his head.

What nonsense he was thinking!

He has a fiance and even though he doesn’t like her, he would have to marry her...

Long Yifan for the first time felt a heavy feeling enveloping his heart. Why does he suddenly feel as if the price to free himself from the Long Clan is very high?

Long Yifan closed his eyes.

No. He doesn’t want to go back to that life of obligation and servitude to his family’s expectations.

As Long Yifan opened his eyes, the previous slight anxiety in his eyes vanished. With a calm expression, he slowly went downstairs.

Of course, before going downstairs he didn’t forget to check out himself.

Gu Jin was thinking of contacting Song Hancheng when she saw Long Yifan.

For a moment she couldn’t look away. In a black trouser, a plain white t-shirt, and slightly wet hair, Long Yifan exuded a casual yet refined air that caught Gu Jin’s attention.

She couldn’t help but notice the way his features seemed more relaxed compared to when he was engrossed in his work.

As he descended the stairs, Gu Jin found herself momentarily captivated by his presence, her thoughts momentarily drifting away from her previous intentions.

She could see the faint trace of abs from the t-shirt and Gu Jin was a bit tempted.

Are they good to touch?

However, as Long Yifan approached the dining area, Gu Jin quickly composed herself, pushing aside any distracting thoughts.

She had matters to attend to, and she couldn’t afford to be distracted by trivialities.

Long Yifan sat in one of the chairs and asked,

"So how was the view?"

"Great." Gu Jin said not even realising what she said.

Long Yifan raised an eyebrow,

"You like them? These six, right?"

Gu Jin licked her up and her cheeks turned a bit red as she looked towards Long Yifan’s abs that were hidden under the t-shirt and said,

"Six? No, there are eight abs! And yes I like them!"

The head butler who was ordering the dishes to be served paused and his cheeks turned a bit red.

Long Yifan too paused, it took him everything to stop himself from smiling and he said in a serious tone,

"Miss Gu I was talking about the dishes, not my...anyways stop staring at them."

Gu Jin was stunned and when she looked at the head butler she saw him motioning the maids to serve the dishes.

She counted them and as expected...there were six dishes.

God! So he was talking about dishes, not abs?

Gu Jin’s face suddenly turned expressionless and even Long Yifan was not able to guess what she was thinking.
