Chapter 119 Too weak to absorb nourishment, alas... (2/2)

"knew."

His voice returned to its usual calm, but a lingering fear swept through his heart.

"You play quietly, I'll go get some water."

Watching Yan Yu's retreating figure as he walked towards the sea, Ruan Tang's gaze returned to the few half-dead fruit trees.

At her feet, a large, furry orange cat was rubbing its big head against her calf, making a satisfied "gurgling" sound in its throat.

Ruan Tang tiptoed and picked a cherry that was almost purple with a deep red color from the lowest branch.

The fruit wasn't big, but it felt heavy in my hand, and a sweet fragrance wafted straight into my nose.

She always felt that these fruits were unusual.

Sigh, if only Xiaobai were here, that little money-grubber would definitely know what kind of treasure this is.

She was lost in thought, holding a cherry in her hand, when Yan Yu returned carrying a large bucket of water.

As he approached, he saw his little girl holding a red fruit, looking conflicted, and his heart melted.

With a long arm, he naturally pulled her back into his embrace.

What are you thinking about?

Ruan Tang held up the cherry in her hand and waved it in front of him.

The big orange cat curiously leaned over to sniff, but was glared at by Yan Yu and turned back. It let out a wronged "woof," tucked its tail between its legs, and ran to the side, turning its rear end towards him, its tail tip twitching unhappily.

"Brother, what kind of trees are these? The fruit smells so good."

Yan Yu glanced down, his chest vibrating softly as he spoke, the sound traveling against her back and tickling her ears.

"Peach, apricot, cherry, apple, pear, chestnut, and those are mango trees."

As she listened to this string of names, the idea in Ruan Tang's mind became clearer and clearer.

She looked up at her and asked, "Did you plant these trees?"

"no."

Yan Yu shook his head. "They were already here when I obtained the space. This land, this sea, these trees, they were all originally here."

Ruan Tang's heart skipped a beat.

She had heard Yan Yu say that in the apocalypse, other people's spaces were at most a thousand square meters, only enough to store things.

Unlike his place, which has mountains, sea, and living creatures, it's practically a miniature world!

A bold guess made her eyes light up instantly.

"elder brother!"

She grabbed his sleeve excitedly, her voice trembling slightly.

"I feel like your space is pretty much the same as mine; neither of them is some kind of superpower..."

"Or...was it originally bound to your soul?"

These words were like a hammer blow to Yan Yu's head.

He always thought this was a superpower awakened in the apocalypse, and never thought about its origin.

But Ruan Tang's words opened a completely new door for him.

Could it be... that this space was truly innate, or was simply activated by the apocalypse?

Yan Yu never forces himself to think about things he can't understand.

He believes more in action.

He lowered his head and looked at the little girl in his arms, her face upturned and her eyes filled with his. The softest part of his heart was completely touched by her gaze.

Those complicated questions were instantly forgotten by him.

He took her soft, boneless hand in his, interlocked their fingers, and led her toward the vibrant oasis.

"Don't think about it for now."

His deep voice carried an undeniable gentleness.

"Let's go give it a try."

He pulled her along, and she asked curiously, "Try what?"

Yan Yu paused, turned to look at her, his gaze so deep it seemed to draw her in.

A meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

"Give it a try..."

"With the elemental power here becoming more concentrated, will it be faster to cultivate while I'm holding you?" (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
