Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Tan Shaoting's expression grew even more complex after listening to this. Suddenly, he grabbed Su Yuanyuan's hand, "Alright, we must preserve our strength and give the other side hope."

Su Yuanyuan shook off Tan Shaoting's hand, "Yes, we both need to give each other hope."

She lay back down, knowing that worrying about these things now was pointless.

She comforted herself in her heart, relying on her own luck. There's no way she would end her journey here. She will surely come back safely and with a plentiful harvest.

When it was daylight, the two of them were eating breakfast made by Ruan Lingyu.

"Thank you, Mr. Ruan. Thank you for your care during this time."

"It's okay, Su Yuanyuan, I'll be here waiting for you to come back."

The two of them nodded slightly.

Su Yuanyuan didn't like this atmosphere, so she joked, "Ruan Lingyu, is there anything good over there that you need? I'll figure out a way to bring it back for you. I tell you, I'm really good at bringing things back." After she finished, she winked.

Ruan Lingyu looked at Su Yuanyuan's cute expression and laughed, "I like everything, but of course, what I love most are the jewelry over there. How do you think my outfit looks?"

"Can I be honest?"

Ruan Lingyu laughed and nodded, "Sure you can."

Su Yuanyuan laughed, "I think it's too extravagant."

Ruan Lingyu laughed heartily after hearing that. "I just like extravagance."

Su Yuanyuan shrugged, "Personal preference, I'll definitely try to bring back the most popular jewelry over there for you."

"Then I'll be eagerly waiting for you to come back quickly every day."

Tan Shaoting listened quietly on the side. This playful and adorable side of Su Yuanyuan was something he rarely saw.

Usually, this girl was always mature beyond her years.

After finishing breakfast, each of them carrying two leather bags, they followed Ruan Lingyu out.

They walked for a long time, about two hours, before reaching the place of the Boundary Stone.

"They haven't arrived yet. Let's wait a bit."

"Is this smuggling?"

Ruan Lingyu looked at Su Yuanyuan, not understanding her words for a moment, but after a while, he reacted.

"Yes, it's exactly the smuggling you mentioned."

Su Yuanyuan felt resigned, this wasn't official, alright, smuggling it is then.

"Let's go sit over there and wait."

"Ruan Lingyu, do you know what they took away from here?"

"They got hold of the things left by our ancestors through the people here. Of course, what they like most is the gold."

Su Yuanyuan understood. People aren't interested in things like jade.

"What do they exchange for it?"

"Food, timber, jade, all sorts."

Su Yuanyuan touched her chin, thinking that these people really know how to do business.

"I've already told you, don't trust them. You know our relationship, you're just going over there to get jade." Ruan Lingyu said softly.

Su Yuanyuan nodded. "Understood." How could one trust outsiders out there?

They waited there for about an hour, and then a group of donkeys came over.

Su Yuanyuan widened her eyes. Can these donkeys really pass through here? She looked back again at the woods and mountains behind. It was truly unimaginable.

At this time, Ruan Lingyu went over. He talked to a middle-aged man there, and Su Yuanyuan saw that the man actually reached out and touched Ruan Lingyu's face, which was really disgusting. She turned her face in disgust but kept her Divine Sense focused there.

The two of them could understand their conversation. They both used their Divine Sense, watching every move and expression of those two people.

Both were thinking, Ruan Lingyu is really not simple.

Indeed, one cannot trust anyone.

Su Yuanyuan laughed mockingly in her heart, she was really too naive.

After explaining over there, Ruan Lingyu waved them over.

Tan Shaoting walked ahead. Su Yuanyuan followed behind him.

"Let's just go over there ourselves." Su Yuanyuan whispered behind Tan Shaoting, so he could block her. That way they wouldn't be noticed.

Tan Shaoting nodded slightly ahead.

The two of them reached the man and woman. The middle-aged man bypassed Tan Shaoting and walked towards Su Yuanyuan.

He especially liked young girls, and seeing Su Yuanyuan, such a fair and tender little girl, he began to drool a bit.

Su Yuanyuan and Tan Shaoting both had particularly strong senses, and Su Yuanyuan was extremely disgusted.

She was waiting for an opportunity. When she saw the man's hand reaching over, she blinked at Tan Shaoting.

But how could Tan Shaoting endure such behavior, he grabbed the man's wrist.

Even if this Sotun was a formidable opponent, he was no match for Tan Shaoting.

The two men's gazes locked.

At this moment, Tan Shaoting spoke in pure language, "Do you want to live?"

Sotun struggled a bit but couldn't break free from Tan Shaoting's grip.

At this time, Ruan Lingyu came over. Her hand touched Tan Shaoting's arm, only to be brushed away by his other hand.

Ruan Lingyu was quite embarrassed, "Don't be like this."

Tan Shaoting didn't respond at all and instead tightened his grip on Sotun's hand.

It was then that Su Yuanyuan spoke, "We won't leave with them anymore." She also spoke in very fluent foreign language.

"It's very dangerous here."

Su Yuanyuan smiled, "Let's leave."

At this moment, Tan Shaoting released Sotun's hand, came over and pulled Su Yuanyuan's hand to leave. The two did not cross the border but walked back towards their own country.

Ruan Lingyu chased after the two from behind.

After about ten minutes, it was much safer to speak now. Su Yuanyuan stopped, turned around, and looked at Ruan Lingyu who was behind them.

"Mr. Ruan, we'll find our own way."

"Su Yuanyuan, you're too impulsive, this path is very steep and full of dangers. You saw there were quite a few of them, but do you know that along the way, there will definitely be one or two casualties."

Su Yuanyuan smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter. We can manage on our own, thank you for the care during this time."

Ruan Lingyu looked at Su Yuanyuan, her expression complex, "Do you particularly look down on me now?"

Su Yuanyuan smiled and shook her head, "No, it's your own choice, what does it have to do with me?

Alright, you should go back too, it's very dangerous here."

After saying that, the two walked to the right. This time Ruan Lingyu didn't follow. She watched the backs of the two. That man made her heart flutter earlier, standing so firmly and unafraid of danger in front of the girl.

She watched until they entered the woods, and then stayed a little longer before leaving.

The two entered the woods. It couldn't be called a tropical rainforest, but it was very humid, with no shortage of snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

The two reached a fallen tree, and both climbed onto the tree. This was probably safer.

Su Yuanyuan sat down. She tugged on Tan Shaoting's sleeve to make him sit too.
