Chapter 66: Water Source Secured
Ye Lingyue saw that she had received some items.
One was something called spring water, a few bottles of medicine, and a space expansion?
Her eyes widened at the last item. [Space expansion?]
The System suddenly found its use again and began to explain. [That’s right, Host. Space expansion... It can expand your space. If you put the spring water inside it, you can connect the spring water to one location in the real world.]
Upon hearing that there were such good things, Ye Lingyue suddenly became suspicious and alert. [Stinky System, tell me the truth. You haven’t secretly stolen a piece of my soul, did you?]
The System was wronged again. [Host, where is the trust between humans?]
Ye Lingyue deadpanned. [You are not a human.]
It fell silent after that.
She stared at these items in the system’s inventory, trying hard to decide whether she should use them. The expansion of space would definitely be useful.
If they went to get some supplies from the market, which probably had to take a few weeks of journey just to find the nearest one, she could definitely fit a lot inside her space.
But... does she dare to gamble with this system again?
After all, the last one had deceived her so badly.
In the end, she just sighed and gritted her teeth. Let’s gamble again just this once. If she didn’t have any food to eat, her dream of becoming a salted fish would also fly away...
She would also consider later whether to accept the mission from this talkative system and regard it as an extended vacation.
At this moment, she still believed that she would get her one hundred million yuan eventually.
Ye Lingyue clicked on the space expansion. For a moment, she sensed a cool sensation enveloped her, and she was dizzy all over. It didn’t take long for the alien feeling to subside.
[Host, come and take a look at your new space!] The System sounded extremely cheerful.
She checked her space and was surprised. It was definitely much bigger than her previous space, hundred times or even more!
[Now, put the spring water inside, Host.] The System guided her.
Slowly, she clicked on the spring water icon, and then imagined it inside her space storage. A moment later, a huge stone appeared with water flowing out of it.
[Connect it to the well.]
She imagined water coming out of the well, clean and refreshing.
Not long after, she went to the well again to check whether it was working. Unsurprisingly, it did!
Ye Lingyue had figured out that the spring water was somewhat inexhaustible, but it also needed time to gather. In her space, there was a small pond that was slowly being filled with the spring water.
[Host, you just need a thought to decide whether you want the spring water to stay in the pond or the well.]
She nodded and tried to move it between the two places.
The result proved to be so satisfying. [You are quite useful.]
The System was proud of her compliment. [Host, of course, I am useful.]
Ye Lingyue tried to drink a cup of the spring water. It felt cool and refreshing. Seeing that there was no negative effect after she drank it, she went to find the small twins.
"The well in the house has water, do you want to try it?" She asked them.
The small twins were taken aback, and they nodded furiously, following Ye Lingyue toward another room.
When Ye Lingrui entered the room with the servants, he saw his sister and the twins sipping on a cup of water.
Ye Lingyue also offered the water to them.
"Yue’er, where did you get the water from?" He asked while raising his eyebrows.
She gestured to the direction of the well, secretly glancing at Xiumei and Xiulan with a meaningful look.
Once she retracted the water back into the pond in her storage space, the well turned mud-clogged again. She also found out she could control the amount of water available there.
She could even make the water mix with the mud.
Xiumei and Xiulan thanked her after they also received a cup of water.
The temperature was hot, and after they spent so much time outside under the blazing sun, the water helped to moisten their dry throat. It was also amazingly effective even if they only took one sip.
Ye Lingrui turned to them. "You two know what to do, right?"
The pair of female servants hurriedly nodded. Xiumei had seen a lot during her time taking care of the small twins, but Xiulan had just found out not too long ago that her young miss had recovered!
"We won’t tell anyone about this, Young Master, Young Miss." They immediately made a promise.
The sky gradually turned dark, and they returned to the other house. Ye Chengde and Ye Lanxi also returned, bringing some woods.
In a few days, they should finish covering all the holes in the wall with the wooden planks and fixing the roof tiles.
"Where did you get water?" Ye Chengde asked solemnly.
"The well in the other house," Ye Lingyue answered, pointing to the other house.
Ye Lanxi was puzzled. "Isn’t the well there full of mud and no longer functioning?"
Sensing his sister was giving him a look, Ye Lingrui smiled. "Me and Yue’er cleaned the mud inside. It wasn’t much and we quickly finished."
He shook his head. "There is not much water inside yet."
Even so, it was already good news.
Ye Chengde could feel his wife nudging him warningly, and he cleared his throat. "You two did a great job... next time, wait for us first. After all, it might be dangerous."
He was also a little conflicted. As the head of the household, he naturally had to take care of everyone, but...
A few days later, they finally finished rebuilding the house temporarily. They also received good news that made Ye Chengde relieved.
