Chapter 150 Just Accept Your Fate, There Is Nothing Else to Eat Here

“Tsk.” Shen Fuyu took another bite of the peach and poked Qin Zhiyi’s head. Was he taking this way too seriously? She was just trying to scare him for fun, so why was he ready to risk his life for her? And another calming pill wasted.

Qin Zhiyi awoke for the second time from the spatial realm and saw Shen Fuyu sitting beside him, eating a peach. This time, he was noticeably calmer but remained silent for a long while as he looked at her. No wonder she could produce so many unheard-of things—it turned out she wasn’t even human…

“Your Majesty.” Youyou spoke softly, making Qin Zhiyi instinctively scoot back a bit.

“You really aren’t afraid,” Shen Fuyu said with disdain.

Qin Zhiyi thought to himself: who the hell wouldn’t be scared in this situation? He was already prepared to say his last words right here!

“Are you really human?” Qin Zhiyi hesitated before asking.

“Of course,” Shen Fuyu curled her lips. “If you want, we can even bring Shen Shucheng here for a blood test to confirm the relationship.”

Though technically, her soul was something else entirely.

Though blood tests aren’t always reliable, the original self seemed to have undergone one a long time ago, but the memory was hazy and she couldn’t recall the reason. Still, back then, the bond was confirmed. Besides, she and Shen Shucheng looked remarkably alike; no matter how you looked at it, they were mother and child.

“Where exactly is this place?” Qin Zhiyi looked around. This space was beyond his comprehension and felt utterly terrifying.

Wiping peach juice from her hands with a handkerchief, Shen Fuyu said, “I told you before, this is my place—a personal spatial realm that belongs to me.”

“Spatial realm?” Qin Zhiyi furrowed his brows.

“Well…” Shen Fuyu tapped her chin thoughtfully. “It’s a place no one else can see or find, only I can enter and exit… it was left to me by my master.”

Qin Zhiyi glanced around and said, “This place looks like a fairyland. Is your master… a deity?”

“I don’t know,” Shen Fuyu shook her head calmly. “Your Majesty, you must keep this secret, or I’ll have to eat you.”

Qin Zhiyi: …

Did he really look like the kind of traitor who would betray her?

At least he knew that without Shen Fuyu, many things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly, and this time, he might not even have survived.

Another thing: don’t touch things that don’t belong to you recklessly—you might stir up trouble you can’t handle.

So even if Shen Fuyu wasn’t human and wanted his life, he was willing to accept it.

“I won’t,” Qin Zhiyi said firmly. “I promise. Otherwise, you can do whatever you want with this life of mine.”

“I believe you,” Shen Fuyu replied casually. Truth be told, whether Qin Zhiyi kept his word or not didn’t matter much to her. Most people were selfish, and some lost themselves chasing after something. But time never stopped, and human life was only a hundred years.

For someone like her, who essentially possessed endless life, no one really deserved her attention. The spatial realm allowed her to let others know it existed, so she didn’t mind Qin Zhiyi knowing about it.

It wasn’t so much trust as indifference.

Of course, this was all under the premise that it wouldn’t affect the world.

Shen Fuyu didn’t like unnecessary complications.

“Gurgle...” Qin Zhiyi turned his head away; he hadn’t eaten all day.

“Ah, are you hungry?” Shen Fuyu asked knowingly.

Qin Zhiyi glanced at her. Even though their relationship seemed to have deepened, it didn’t change how annoying she could be. “Yeah...” he admitted reluctantly.

A mighty emperor admitting hunger was truly humiliating!

“Here.” Shen Fuyu handed him a peach.

The peach was large. Peaches grown in this space were never small—they were filling.

Qin Zhiyi pursed his lips and frowned. Honestly, he didn’t want to eat the peach. It was obviously plucked from the surrounding peach trees, which blossomed and bore fruit simultaneously—something unnatural.

Although he knew he had no choice at the moment, he couldn’t help but ask, “Is there anything else to eat besides peaches?”

“Tsk, you’re picky now?” Shen Fuyu looked incredulous.

“...This can’t really be a meal,” Qin Zhiyi protested stubbornly. To be honest, he wasn’t really picky—even corn cakes or rice bran would do—but this peach was just too strange for him.

Shen Fuyu frowned, then stood and went to her medicinal herb garden. After rummaging around, she pulled out a ginseng root and handed it to Qin Zhiyi.

“Here.”

Qin Zhiyi: …

He wanted something edible! Something a normal person could eat as a meal!

Though he didn’t understand much about ginseng, this one was obviously bigger and better than the quality stored in the treasury.

“You want me to gnaw on this aged ginseng?” Qin Zhiyi felt as if he might bleed from his nose—it was such a waste.

“Eat it, it’s worthless,” Shen Fuyu smiled indifferently, waving her hand casually. “This is a treasure land of mine. Ginseng like this grows in just three to five days. You don’t have to be so polite.”

“...”

Qin Zhiyi put the ginseng aside. “It’s too nourishing. Is there anything else?”

“You’re really hard to please,” Shen Fuyu complained bluntly as she entered her small room, her expression sour.

She then took out several bottles of health supplements and tossed them to Qin Zhiyi.

“Take these.”

Qin Zhiyi threw the pills on the ground. Eat? No way! Each one was more absurd than the last!

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I want something a normal person can eat as a meal,” Qin Zhiyi was about to explode. “I’d even accept corn cakes!”

Could those ginseng roots and pills count as food?

“Here.” Shen Fuyu offered him another peach.

Qin Zhiyi stared at the peach in his hand, lost in thought.

After a long pause, he asked, “Really nothing else?”

“Nope,” Shen Fuyu bit into her peach and rolled her eyes. If there were other foods, she wouldn’t have had to survive by eating peaches for over ten days in a row while escaping.

The spatial realm’s gifts were extravagant, but just like its upgrade required anger points, its drawbacks were equally outrageous.

For example, she wasn’t allowed to bring in dead things.

Living things were only recently permitted.

A long time ago, she had thought about stocking up on rice, flour, meat, and eggs in the space, but the space wouldn’t allow her to bring them in; they would turn to ashes, and she was helpless.

“Can’t you bring a little from the outside world?” Qin Zhiyi asked.

“If that were possible, who’d be stuck here gnawing on peaches?” Shen Fuyu sat on the ground, propping her chin with one hand. “Don’t be naive. This place is fair—advantages come with drawbacks.”

She accepted the immense benefits the space granted her but had to abide by its ridiculous rules.

No means no. Maybe after upgrading, it would allow storing dead things.

Qin Zhiyi quietly took a bite of the peach and sat down beside Shen Fuyu.
