Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Another Wonderful Use of Space Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Another Wonderful Use of Space The air was filled with a light fragrance of grass.
Chiang Xiao felt extremely spirited, not tired at all from beating up Niu Guiying today.
She was sure that her current physical state was connected to the medicinal herbs in the Space, so she couldn’t delay this matter.
Just having Chiang Baohe around made Chiang Xiao feel very threatened, and the idea that the Old Chiang Family’s people would protect her was laughable. If Chiang Baohe really decided to make a move on her, he would beat her to death without a doubt.
Liu Caiyun, for some reason, was fixated on her grandfather, so she definitely would not agree to marry Chiang Baohe. Who knew what kind of trouble would ensue between those two, so Chiang Xiao had to be on guard.
If she had no ability, how would she deal with Chiang Baohe when the time came?
Besides Chiang Baohe, there was also Ding Daqiang.
She had already made enemies with the family of Ding Daqiang, a man prone to violence like a savage farmer, and Niu Guiying was accustomed to throwing fits. With her small frame, she could easily be beaten to death if she wasn’t careful.
Therefore, Chiang Xiao was extremely anxious.
She had decided to seriously practice the acupressure techniques taught by Old Master Cao. She also had a vague concept, an idea she got today when she was beating up Niu Guiying. She could transform those methods into a set of Acupoint Boxing, specifically aiming for the acupoints that Old Master Cao said should not be pressed randomly.
But now her strength was too weak. It might be barely enough to deal with Niu Guiying, but if it came to Ding Daqiang or Chiang Baohe, her strength would only be like tickling to them.
So, she had to nourish her body well and also train strenuously to increase her physical capabilities and build up her strength.
And since her physical abilities were tied to the medicinal herbs in the Space, she had to take the quickest time possible to gather more herbs to plant there.
That’s why Chiang Xiao was insistent on following Chiang Songhai to Bai Gu Mountain.
Logically, with a secret like hers, it was best to go alone, but she truly had reservations about Bai Gu Mountain. The adult men of the village dared not go there, let alone a young girl like her.
She didn’t know what the situation on the mountain was like, and she didn’t know many medicinal herbs yet. It would be better to accompany her grandfather for a visit. Firstly, she could get to know the paths and the situation in the mountains. Secondly, she could take this opportunity to learn more about medicinal herbs from her grandfather, which would be useful for when she had to go up the mountain alone later.
Sitting in the Space, breathing in the thin scent of medicinal herbs, Chiang Xiao felt clear-headed and refreshed, not the least bit sleepy.
She simply brought her sketchbook inside and, conjuring a brush from her palm, began to practice drawing.
Even with the best natural talent, diligent practice was indispensable.
She drew until the sky began to lighten, only stopping reluctantly when the last page of the small sketchbook was filled.
An entire notebook was filled with all kinds of things she had drawn.
Chiang Xiao flipped through it and suddenly stopped, stunned.
From her previous tests, drawings would lose their magic after ten minutes, but the earlier drawings, which were at least two or three hours old by now, hadn’t lost effect—why?
She flipped to the first picture she drew in the Space, a cup of green tea ice cream. Even now, looking at the drawing, it gave off a cool and refreshing sensation, causing her to taste sweetness and iced coolness in her mouth.
Could it be that the drawings wouldn’t lose their miraculous effects while in the Space?
Chiang Xiao immediately tore out the page with the ice cream and took it out of the Space, then started timing.
Indeed, almost ten minutes later, the sweetness and coolness disappeared.
Chiang Xiao’s eyes lit up.
The Space could maintain the magical effects of the drawings!
Then, when she had nothing else to do, she could draw more things and store them in the Space, taking them out when needed, right?
Only now, she really didn’t even have a single page left to draw on.
