Chapter 3 Mysterious s.p.a.ce

Lin Luoran has no time to respond when the bead hits her face… Like crackling fireworks, all that left before her eyes are dazzling light. Lin Luoran shuts her eyes reflexively.

Lin Luoran couldn’t help but shedding tears due to the light. It seems like there is no other dangers. She tries to move her hands and feet and manages to open her eyes. The scene in front of her is so amazing.

Where is she?

She is standing on a green gra.s.s lawn. These strong gra.s.ses grow well, almost reaching two feet tall. Standing there, Lin Luoran feels that she is going to float…

It is a land of less than 334 m2, where a log cabin covers over 1/3 of the area. In the distance, there is a 1 m2 pond, bubbling of spring. A sapling grows beside the pond, fresh and alive.

A red fruit in the size of mulberry is hanging on the sapling, which is even fresh with the vapor of the pond.

Lin Luoran pinches herself hard in the cheek. Ouch!

The log cabin is still there, so is the bubbling pond. Lin Luoran remains standing on the green gra.s.s—This is not a dream. Immediately, she realizes that a coincidence seems to happen to her!

Everything in front of her must be related to that mysterious bead, Lin Luoran guesses.

She is inherently tougher than ordinary girls or else she wouldn’t have survived all these years of difficulties. Therefore, Lin Luoran is fairly calm when she encounters with this kind of supernatural things.

Holding the thought of taking things as they come, Lin Luoran decides to explore this mysterious s.p.a.ce.

She stands still and thinks for a moment, then picks up a clod and throws it out.

With a nice curve, the clod is flicked away at around 30cm from the log cabin. The cabin appears to be protected by an invisible s.h.i.+eld. Is it the “inhibition” that is always written in books?

Lin Luoran is curious. Since only the clod is flicked away, it might be okay for the human to go closer. She walks toward the cabin one step after another. As exactly as expected, she then hits something bouncy like jelly. A transparent pit forms after she pokes it with her finger.

Obviously, she can’t get into the cabin, at least for now.

An idea comes to her mind and her eyes cast on the small pond.

The spring nourishes the fruit and both of them might be magical restoratives. Then whether should she drink the spring or eat the fruit, that is a question.

Anyhow, Lin Luoran cherishes her life so she picks a blade of gra.s.s to fiddle with the water. A long time later, the gra.s.s still remains green. Lin Luoran realizes that at least the spring is not corrosive.

She nerves herself to put the wet gra.s.s into her mouth. The taste of mud rushes into her mouth. She also tastes a bit of sweetness. Is this the sweetness of the spring? How miraculous!

Lin Luoran has experienced lots of strangeness. If the spring is toxic, she is destined to never be a protagonist. She hesitates for a while and finally bends over and drinks a handful of water, thinking that this place is mysterious but peaceful so the water will probably be unharmful.

Lin Luoran has been thirsty for long since she hasn’t drunk any water after coming back from the visit to Li Anping, also, a lot of blood is drawn from her. Now, spring water runs down her throat and its sweetness fills her mouth. Lin Luoran feels good as if she has just drunk a bottle of ice water in the midsummer, which makes her not feel anxious anymore.

She couldn’t help drinking some more.

There is abundant sunlight in the mysterious s.p.a.ce and the temperature is appropriate. Lying on the gra.s.s, Lin Luoran waits for something magical to happen to her. It is so comfortable that she doesn’t even want to get up.

With time pa.s.sing by, Lin Luoran almost falls asleep while waiting. However, she hasn’t gone to the stage that written in the novel about the situation after someone takes magical restoratives.

Lin Luoran touches her face. Her skin is not that smooth. The roughness is inevitable for she can’t afford expensive skincare products.
