After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 74 Space Button
Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Space Button
Shi Yaoguang thought back, and there didn’t seem to be a need for Quan Jinbei to specifically offer her a reward in the form of an iron box, right?
But then again, as the old saying goes.
A fool would refuse good fortune!
Quan Jinbei had taken the initiative, and if she didn’t accept the gift, she would be letting him down.
So, right in front of him, she accepted the iron box.
Quan Jinbei had thought he already knew her quite well.
Until...
he watched, his eyes wide open, as the iron box disappeared right in front of him.
Shi Yaoguang’s abilities reached the heavens, a fact he had known for a while.
After all, the day she arrived at Quan Mansion, she had brought nothing with her, yet she could occasionally produce items that weren’t available in Quan Mansion.
However, he never imagined that Shi Yaoguang would reveal herself so openly, right in front of him.
After storing the iron box securely, Shi Yaoguang looked up and met Quan Jinbei’s astonished gaze.
This was the first time she had seen him lose his composure.
Intentionally making a fierce face, she threatened in a menacing tone, "My secret has been discovered by you, what to do?" ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Quan Jinbei was at a loss for words, "Wasn’t it your intention to let me see?"
"NO! NO! NO!" Shi Yaoguang wagged her finger, "I just forgot, it wasn’t deliberate exposure."
Quan Jinbei: "..."
Looking at her serious, seemingly not joking expression, Quan Jinbei remained silent for a long while.
Just when Shi Yaoguang thought he wouldn’t speak, he said, "I am already yours."
Shi Yaoguang curved her lips slightly, "So what?"
"Your own husband, what can’t we discuss?"
Quan Jinbei said very familiarly, "No matter what tricks you have, you are my wife, wed in open and proper matrimony."
Shi Yaoguang clicked her tongue lightly, "With that said, do you expect me to let you off?"
Quan Jinbei gazed at her intently, wordless.
Seeing this, Shi Yaoguang sighed.
Quan Jinbei was indecisive, unsure of her meaning.
As he hesitated, uncertain of how to react, she suddenly took out a metallic-feeling button.
Quan Jinbei glanced over it, there were roughly ten.
"These are Space Buttons."
As she spoke, Shi Yaoguang picked one up and demonstrated it on his bed where he slept.
In the span of a breath, his bed vanished without a trace.
Quan Jinbei watched Shi Yaoguang with wonder-filled eyes, momentarily at a loss for words.
Shi Yaoguang, feeling the heat from his intense gaze, felt her own face warm.
She passed him a Space Button, letting him experiment for himself: "The Space Button is very easy to use. Think of it as an interdimensional storage, whenever you want to store something, just press this little button..."
Quan Jinbei followed her demonstration and effortlessly learned how to use the Space Button.
Yet, when he looked at her, his gaze still held hints of amazement.
"Where did this thing come from?"
Shi Yaoguang had originally intended to play dumb if he didn’t ask.
Unexpectedly, he still asked.
Now that he had, it wouldn’t be good for her to brush it off.
Thinking it over, she replied honestly, "I made it."
Quan Jinbei’s pupils suddenly contracted sharply, his voice strained, "You made it?"
"Yes, I made it myself."
Shi Yaoguang had never intended to expose her identity, but she recently encountered a problem.
She hit a bottleneck in her cultivation of the Star Refining Body Technique.
The Heavenly Dao wouldn’t allow powers that exceed its control to flourish unchecked, unless, the force that defied the Heavenly Dao could suppress it outright.
She had a good plan before: she could use the power she cultivated to change Quan Jinbei’s so-called destiny, making him live a long life.
Then, she realized she had oversimplified things.
The world she was now in was no different in essence from the small worlds she had previously traveled through.
The existence of the Heavenly Dao was to maintain the protagonists of the story.
And the reason the protagonists existed was to fall in love.
In short, a romance-driven narrative.
The Heavenly Dao was an entity driven by such narrative.
How could a normal person expect a romance-driven entity to be logical?
Now that the Heavenly Dao had detected energy that transcended its control, or better said, someone trying to twist the plot, it became restless.
It emerged to cause trouble.
Suppressing Shi Yaoguang’s cultivation speed was one of its tactics.
For this reason, Shi Yaoguang gave Quan Jinbei a miraculous ointment beyond the era and demonstrated the existence of space right in front of him.
By doing so, firstly, she wanted Quan Jinbei to have a clear understanding of her, so that he would feel less pressure when she did something in the future.
Secondly, she had already found a way to battle the Heavenly Dao.
She didn’t have the power to extinguish the Heavenly Dao outright,
But to make a romance-driven entity change its supported orientation was something she could achieve.
What she needed to do was to gradually strip away the aura from the male and female leads and take their place herself.
She had considered letting someone else take over,
But unfortunately, a world couldn’t host two female leads born with the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao.
Only she, a traveler across multiple worlds, was barely qualified to replace the original female lead.
Quan Jinbei looked at her introspective expression, pursed his lips, and voiced the doubt in his heart, "What you possess seems to surpass the scope of normal humans. You..."
He really wanted to ask, what is your identity?
But meeting Shi Yaoguang’s clear eyes, he found himself unable to voice the question.
Shi Yaoguang knew of his curiosity and simply shared her thoughts, "I certainly have had some opportunities, and when the time is right, I’ll tell you."
"Presenting these things to you now is just to make you believe in me more," she said, her tone acquiring a trace of gravity, "In this world, you’re the only one left who can be in the same boat with me."
Quan Jinbei showed confusion, "What do you mean by that?"
He felt as though the day’s events could upend one’s worldview.
No, perhaps he should be more confident and discard those feelings.
Today, his worldview was indeed upended!
"I can tell you that in this world... Shi Yiqing... Quan Sicheng... only by... replacing..."
As Shi Yaoguang finished speaking, Quan Jinbei could only catch bits and pieces.
Shi Yaoguang also realized the problem and sighed, "It must be a restriction imposed by the Heavenly Dao. You just need to know we’re in the same boat."
Quan Jinbei: "..."
He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you human?"
Shi Yaoguang gave him a sidelong glance, "What do you think?"
Quan Jinbei teasingly suggested, "Maybe a monster disguised as a beauty."
"If I were a monster, I would have drained your vitality long ago."
Shi Yaoguang rolled her eyes at him; after opening up, she felt free being herself around him.
Quan Jinbei responded surprisingly well, "To save my life, I’m willing to let you drain it. Should I get cleaned up and wait for you?"
