Zhang Shanni barely managed to hold on until Xie Jingchen swiftly killed the wild buck, then immediately withdrew her spiritual power. Just those few short minutes had turned her complexion ashen, luckily her darker skin tone made it less noticeable.
With a reality check, she finally accepted her fate; her spiritual power had not just decreased tenfold! At most, it only covered one-thirtieth of the range it did during her peak! The scope of her Space was also fixed, at the zenith of Level 5, it was impossible for it to grow anymore!
Zhang Shanni was now worried: was this era she’s living in a rerun of her original Space’s timeline, or a parallel universe?
Even knowing that many details of this era differed from the spacetime of her past life, the insecure Zhang Shanni was still terrified!
She hoped it was a parallel universe, otherwise, she didn’t even dare to think about time reversing!
When Xie Jingchen hunted the wild buck, along with a fat rabbit and a hedgehog, feeling this was enough meat, he carried the game back. From a distance, he saw Zhang Shanni obediently sitting in her original spot. The corners of his mouth curled up in a smile, making the tough aura around him slightly softer and more pleasing to the eye. He looked gallant and upright.
"Brother Chen, you’re back!" Zhang Shanni joyously stood up from afar, her delight further heightened when she saw the game he carried:
"Brother Chen, you’re really amazing, even managing to hunt a deer!"
"It’s not that I am amazing, the deer was trapped and had some minor injuries, which is why I could take advantage easily!"
"That’s still thanks to you for discovering it. Otherwise, who knows who the buck would have benefitted!"
"Alright, it’s getting late, let’s head back early, it’s almost 2 PM." Xie Jingchen wanted to ruffle his little wife’s soft hair, but realizing his hand was all muddy and bloody, he refrained.
"Mhm, Mother must be getting anxious! Let’s hurry back! I can handle this weight!" Zhang Shanni dodged Xie Jingchen’s attempt to take the sack from her, speaking earnestly.
Whether it was her original self or her now, she had never been a delicate person, such a weight was truly insignificant to her.
"Awesome! My little girl is really amazing!" Xie Jingchen laughed, he felt such a wife was wonderful — not delicate, which was so much better compared to the temperaments of some colleagues’ wives he worked with.
"..." Zhang Shanni blushed. Even a dark face can turn red, okay!
This man seemed even more casual today compared to yesterday!
Seeing her embarrassed expression, Xie Jingchen’s heart filled with joy, and he decided not to tease her anymore. He stooped down to organize the hunted game, stuffing them all into a leather bag. This way, the items wouldn’t attract attention and were easier to carry.
"Alright, let’s go, let’s head home earlier."
"Mhm!" Hearing the tall and strong man speak gently of ’going home’, Zhang Shanni thought of the Xie family and felt a deeper sense of belonging, nodding in agreement.
