Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

She tidied up the house bit by bit, just like every time she used to come back. They had left home for more than twenty days now. Dust had settled on the furniture.

Su Yuanyuan cleaned meticulously. At times, she would suddenly lift her head to look in a certain direction, as if the three children were calling her.

Two hours later, the house was spotless. She hadn't eaten in a week, yet she didn't feel hungry.

Looking at the time, it was probably time to make dinner. She had just wanted to ask the children what they wanted to eat.

But all she saw was an empty room. Where were the children? Who could she ask?

At this moment, Su Yuanyuan was in tears; she was left all alone.

She staggered to the edge of the bed, climbed onto it, and hugged the children's pillows.

After yelling, Tan Shaoting felt his body was restrained. That feeling of being at the mercy of others made him truly frustrated. Now, he could only use the remaining bit of Spiritual Power to protect his body.

The three children were still in his space. His Divine Sense couldn't enter, and he didn't know their condition.

Now, he could only concentrate on facing the situation outside. It was all drifting, an endless black.

There was no concept of time at all now, and moreover, the space-time tunnel couldn't be measured with the time he knew.

He had heard of the space-time tunnel before, it's recorded that it's very dangerous here.

But he didn't know how long he had been drifting.

There was really nothing around him. Tan Shaoting felt panic; when would this end?

He had to return. His wife was waiting for him.

He knew that she would surely go crazy upon knowing that he and the children had disappeared.

Tan Shaoting smiled bitterly, always thinking he was smart, always wondering what was good, as if his choices were all wrong.

Just as he was about to despair, he suddenly felt a light.

Tan Shaoting had been waiting for this opportunity. So he continued to drift along.

Now, he finally had the chance. He used every bit of strength to turn his body toward the light.

As he was about to approach the light, Tan Shaoting felt pain, the kind of pain like being torn apart.

Finally, his body reached the source of the light. He gritted his teeth to hold on; he absolutely couldn't pass out. If this really was a gateway to a realm, there was no telling what dangers awaited him.

His body was heavily thrown to the ground. He still gritted his teeth and persisted.

He quickly climbed up, wanting to rush into the entrance of the space-time tunnel.

But despite whatever he tried, he simply couldn't get close to the rapidly shrinking entrance.

He could only watch helplessly as the entrance disappeared, at which point the restraint on Tan Shaoting's body also vanished.

He collapsed on the ground; he had never been this embarrassed.

Gasping heavily. Now, he was filled with frustration.

But thinking of the three children, he immediately sent his Divine Sense into space, seeing the three children sleeping. Though their expressions weren't as natural as they were at home, there were no major issues. He observed the surroundings.

This was a valley, with no living creatures around and not even any small movements.

Only then did he cautiously release the three children. They must have been frightened.

The three children woke up as soon as they came out, saw Tan Shaoting, and burst into tears, throwing themselves on Tan Shaoting.

"Daddy, daddy, daddy."

Tan Shaoting raised his arm with difficulty, "Don't cry, don't cry, we're all alive."

"Daddy, I want Mom," Qi Wen cried out.

Tan Shaoting was silent. He too wanted his wife, wanted to be beside her.

"Daddy, where's Mom? Let's go back and find Mom."

In moments of danger or fear, the first person the children think of is always Mom.

"Qi Yan, Qi Hong, Qi Wen, we've left that world. Right now, we can't see your Mom.

Let's work together and find the way back, we must return to your Mom's side."

"Daddy, I want Mom." The three children started crying uncontrollably.

Tan Shaoting, a grown man, also red-eyed.

His silence made the three children cling to him more tightly.

"You three be good. We need to find a way out.

We need to know where this place is to figure out how to get back.

Are you three hungry? Let's eat first. Once we're full, we'll leave here."

In fact, after Tan Shaoting took them in, perhaps due to the space's self-protection, they all fell asleep.

Tan Shaoting first gave them Spiritual Spring Water to drink, checking them over to ensure nothing was amiss. Only then was he at ease.

Then, the four of them started to eat, with the food made earlier by Su Yuanyuan for Tan Shaoting to keep, afraid he'd go hungry during missions.

Thankfully, she prepared everything thoroughly; the three children ate their meals in silence.

Tan Shaoting felt heartache; the two of them cherished them dearly, and now going through this, they were frightened. It seemed they had suddenly grown up.

After eating, Tan Shaoting dressed them in long sleeves and pants. Being in a valley with many plants, he was afraid their tender skin might get cut.

"If you get tired, Daddy will carry you."

"Daddy, let's go. We need to get home quickly."

Qi Yan remained silent. After a while of walking, he suddenly let go of Tan Shaoting's hand, "Dad, if we hadn't said we wanted to go to the sea, wouldn't these things have happened? Wouldn't we have left Mom?"

Tan Shaoting's eyes teared up upon hearing his elder son's words. Even a Demon to his enemies could have moments of vulnerability.

"No, someone wants to harm Daddy. Even if we didn't go to the sea, it would have been somewhere else."

Tan Shaoting comforted his elder son, fearing the child would be left with psychological scars.

"That way, Mom would be with us."

At this point, Tan Shaoting didn't know what to say. Qi Yan was too sensitive.

"Qi Yan, that's just a possibility. Actually, we four should be grateful that your Mom didn't come over, wasn't frightened."

He could only comfort the three children this way, not feeling any less guilty himself. If he hadn't said to come to the seaside, hadn't gone out to sea on the fifteenth of July, maybe their family wouldn't have been separated.

Yet, Tan Shaoting also knew it was only possible.

"You three must help Daddy, we need to quickly find our way home."

The three children nodded firmly. They really missed Mom, just like they'd been away for a long time.

The four of them hadn't left the valley when night fell.

Tan Shaoting inspected the surroundings, feeling this place was indeed very unusual. It was very much like the secret realm he had participated in before.

The feeling was even stronger now.

"Qi Yan, Qi Hong, Qi Wen, you three be good and go inside. Daddy needs to inspect here."
