My Princess Holds Superpowers

Chapter 54: 54 pieces have frozen into ice blocks

Ye Jiu: “It’s winter here now, and there are very few edible plants. I can only see what we have at home and then get some for you to bring over.”

La Sike: “That’s no problem.”

The edible plants on his side were all specially cultivated; God knows how precious they were. Being able to eat was already a luxury, let alone choosing the variety. He really had no room to be picky.

Since La Sike wasn’t picky, this made things easier.

At night, Ye Jiu secretly climbed down from the heated brick bed.

He Shi, who was beside her, hadn’t fallen deeply asleep yet, “Dear child, do you need to use the toilet? There’s a pot underneath; it’s snowing outside, don’t go out.”

“Mom, I’ll put on a jacket. It’s not cold. And I also want to see how thick the snow outside is,” Ye Jiu said as she grabbed her cotton jacket and ran out.

What a joke, Ye Jiu wasn’t really a child. Old Man Ye was still lying at the head of the bed. Even if she really wanted to use the toilet, she couldn’t do it inside the house.

This was also due to the lack of rooms in the house. Her fourth brother was still squeezing in with a few nephews. She could forget about getting a room of her own.

Thinking of this, Ye Jiu became somewhat worried.

If her fourth brother was to talk about marriage, not having a separate room wouldn’t do. After all, they couldn’t continue to squeeze with the nephews once married, right?

It seemed, urgent action was needed regarding making money.

The snow fell quickly. When Ye Jiu went out, it had already accumulated into a thick layer, crunching under her feet.

Bent over, Ye Jiu ran all the way to the vegetable cellar, fumbling to open its entrance, and then… faced with pitch darkness, she dared not go down!

After what felt like forever, driven by the prospect of money, Ye Jiu finally mustered the courage to descend into the cellar in the dark.

It wasn’t too dark above the ground since the white snow reflected some light, but below in the cellar, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

Ye Jiu could see nothing; she had to feel her way forward slowly with her hands. Luckily, after no more than a couple of steps, she touched a big cabbage and, without a second thought, stashed it into the Dimensional Space.

There wasn’t just cabbage in the cellar but also stored white radishes.

Ye Jiu just took two of each, not daring to take more, since everything owned by the Ye Family was accounted for.

He Shi, who was fond of her, would not blame her for such a trifle, but Ye Jiu still couldn’t explain where the items had gone, so it was better to keep it a secret from her family.

It was truly dark at night. When Ye Jiu came up, she even stumbled and fell, but luckily, she was wearing thick clothes, which prevented any injuries.

After covering the cellar again, Ye Jiu hurried back to the house, undressed, and climbed onto the brick bed.

Outside was deathly cold, but the brick bed was warm.

He Shi knew outside must be extremely cold, so when she felt Ye Jiu climbing up, she hugged her tight, “Oh dear, I told you to stay inside but you had to go out. Look how frozen you are, like a block of ice.”

Although He Shi said that, her hands tightened the embrace around Ye Jiu.

The warmth of He Shi’s embrace warmed Ye Jiu’s heart.

After He Shi had fallen asleep again, Ye Jiu went back to the Plane Space and cleaned up the rotten leaves of the two cabbages she had just stolen from the cellar, then sent them over with the radishes.

La Sike had just made the purchase, so he certainly hadn’t gotten the goods so quickly. But he had also sent over two pictures, one of a steel knife that looked very sharp at first glance, and an electric gun for self-defense. It was only the size of a finger and could only be used twice when fully charged. Importantly, it was solar-powered and had immense power – one shot could kill an adult man.

La Sike: “I’m sorry, I don’t have much money, so I could only buy these small items.”
