Chapter 38 Xiao Jingchuan can also enter the space
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully completing the mission! Rewards have been issued; please retrieve them from your storage space!"
While they weren't paying attention, Gu Liuli entered the space with her consciousness and found that she had gained more access to the space. At first, she had only opened the first layer, but now she had opened the second layer. Moreover, as she went further in, she found that the small sapling of the golden fruit tree she had planted had grown into a towering tree with lush branches and leaves.
Golden fruit usually refers to nipple eggplant, also known as five-finger eggplant or fox-faced fruit. It is an erect herb of the Solanaceae family, about 1 meter tall. The whole plant is covered with short soft hairs and waxy yellow flat thorns. The leaves are ovate, 5-lobed, with shallowly wavy lobes. Both sides are densely covered with long and short soft hairs. The scorpion-tail-like inflorescences are axillary, with a purplish-red corolla. The fruit is shaped like a cow's udder and is bright golden yellow in color.
Gu Liuli plucked one off a piece herself and put it in her mouth. "Crunch!" The moment the fragrant juice entered her mouth, it was simply a delicacy!
At the same time, as the golden fruit slid into her stomach, a warm current instantly spread throughout her body, as if every cell was enveloped in warmth. The feeling was indescribable; she felt incredibly comfortable, and all her fatigue and stress seemed to vanish in that instant.
Just then, the system's emotionless, cold voice suddenly rang in Gu Liuli's ears: "Host, this golden fruit has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling, and can effectively treat carbuncles, erysipelas, scrofula, and other diseases." Hearing the system's introduction, Gu Liuli narrowed her eyes slightly, a satisfied smile appearing on her lips, fully enjoying this rare moment of relaxation.
"Hmm... Master, when can you get me a thoughtful little housekeeper? Someone to help me manage the fields! Look how busy your master is every day, where would I find the time to personally dig and cultivate the land!" Gu Liuli mumbled indistinctly, chewing on the sweet fruit.
As he spoke, he gently patted his knees with his hands, his face full of anticipation.
"Host, have you forgotten that you had a butler when you were bound to the system? Could it be that you forgot about it?" the system stated the facts ruthlessly.
Gu Liuli was leisurely chewing on the sweet and delicious golden fruit when suddenly, as if struck by lightning, a memory flashed through her mind. Her eyes widened instantly, her relaxed and cheerful expression froze, and her throat involuntarily moved as she swallowed.
Good heavens! How could she have forgotten about this? When she bound herself to the space system, she clearly remembered having a dog butler, but in the past few days, she had completely forgotten about it and hadn't paid any attention to it at all.
Thinking of this, Gu Liuli couldn't help but feel a surge of panic: So much time has passed, could that poor dog have... died already?
Just as she was anxiously preparing to search for the dog butler, without warning, a figure appeared in front of her like a ghost.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Xiao Jingchuan! Xiao Jingchuan's face was filled with astonishment, his mouth slightly agape, clearly shocked by the scene before him.
His gaze slowly swept over his surroundings, as if he were in a dream. Beneath his feet was a lush, green meadow, like a verdant carpet. Not far away, a crystal-clear stream flowed gently, its clear, melodious sound ringing out. Beside the stream, a herd of cattle and sheep grazed leisurely, occasionally raising their heads to curiously observe this unfamiliar intruder.
In the center of the meadow stood an enormous, robust tree, its lush foliage almost completely obscuring half the sky. The tree was laden with clusters of golden fruit, glistening and translucent, radiating an alluring sheen that made one's mouth water.
However, what caught Xiao Jingchuan's eye the most was the woman standing foolishly under the tree—Gu Liuli.
At this moment, her small mouth was slightly open, with unchewed food still inside. Her expression was one of surprise and blankness, making her look like a wooden doll. Whether it was because of his sudden appearance or because she was stunned by the beautiful scenery, she just stood there, frozen in place, not moving at all.
"Xiao... Xiao Jingchuan, how did you get in?" Gu Liuli swallowed the golden fruit in her mouth and asked hurriedly.
This is my trump card for survival!
"System, system, come out! How did Xiao Jingchuan get in?" Gu Liuli silently shouted in her heart.
Xiao Jingchuan looked completely bewildered, muttering to himself about this strange situation. He opened his mouth and stammered, "Well... I saw you were fast asleep and was afraid of waking you, so I waited outside. But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see any sign of you waking up, and I was really worried! In my anxiety, I somehow ended up coming in without thinking."
At the same time, the system's emotionless voice rang out: "Host, based on the current situation, it's very likely that the male lead cares too much about you, to the point that he unconsciously triggered the hidden space system function." The system paused for a moment, then continued, "I just checked carefully. He entered this time using his divine sense, not his physical body, so you don't need to worry too much! If you're still concerned, you might consider making a contract with him. That way, if he dares to leak this matter or betray you, he will surely face utter destruction and a death without a burial place!"
Gu Liuli listened quietly to the system's detailed explanation. Although she still had some doubts, she had no choice but to accept the reality.
So, she took a deep breath and finally made up her mind to explain everything clearly: "Hey, I haven't been telling you the truth all this time! Actually, I am indeed Gu Liuli, but I'm not entirely the Gu Liuli you know!"
She paused, then continued, "I was originally a wisp of soul from the future. Back then, in my world, a sudden car accident left me unconscious. However, when I opened my eyes again, I found myself transformed into Gu Hang's daughter. Worse still, he forced me to marry you. As for the real Gu Liuli, she resolutely refused to comply and ended up crashing into a pillar, dying on the spot. Coincidentally, in my original world, I was also called Gu Liuli, and oh, the place we're in now is called the Space System."
After saying these words, Gu Liuli gently took Xiao Jingchuan's hand and led him on an exploration of this magical space. The first thing that caught their eye was the huge spatial warehouse, which was filled with all kinds of dazzling gold and silver jewelry and ornaments. Not only that, but even the rare items that were once treasured by several officials were all collected here by Gu Liuli.
Now, the reason why Xuanhuo and the others witnessed Gu Liuli appearing out of thin air and disappearing in an instant is finally explained. And look again at the wall and floor tiles made of gold from Lord Wang's house.
