Xie Jingchen took out his instruments to check the surrounding environment, and only after confirming there were no harmful substances did he breathe a sigh of relief.
When he returned to the tent, his wife was already asleep.
Two hours ago, Xie Jingchen would have confidently returned to the tent to sleep beside her!
But catching sight of Yan Jinsu’s accusing, yet strangely distant and cold eyes, Xie Jingchen forcibly halted his steps.
Silently returning to the campfire, Xie Jingchen picked up the gemstones from the ground.
Yes, they were genuine gemstones.
In the depths of Sky Chasm, unknown meters below the surface, lie gemstones bare on the ground, which seemed not indigenous to the area but rather as if they had been thrown down from above!
The gemstones were very hard; despite having fallen to the ground, few appeared to be shattered. Most were simply lying there quietly.
Moreover, from the smoothness of the gemstones’ surface, it seemed that most had been washed up from water. As for whether there would be a tide here, Xie Jingchen couldn’t determine yet.
For the short term, it seemed there was no problem.
Considering the value of the gemstones, during his patrol, Xie Jingchen unceremoniously collected every large and small gemstone he could find into a compartment of the Space Button.
No matter how colorful and faintly luminous the gemstones scattered around seemed, when Xie Jingchen actually picked them up, it didn’t feel like much.
For now, only the gemstones near the tent remained uncollected.
Xie Jingchen looked at the sleeping tent, his face fraught with frustration, better to find something to do than stand around. He couldn’t stop for a moment.
As soon as he stopped, he couldn’t suppress the urge to return to the tent and be with her!
Agitated!
Xie Jingchen spent half the night getting himself dirty, by then he had thoroughly collected all the gemstones on the ground.
Thinking that his wife would definitely be happy once her memory returned!
After all, there are few women who don’t love gemstones. Even if his wife’s Space had a large collection of gold and jewels, she wouldn’t complain about having too many good things!
He wouldn’t mind either, or he wouldn’t have taken on the task personally.
Besides, he had a group of people under his care. The larger the business he spread out, the heavier the pressure on his shoulders became. As a result, he found himself gradually veering towards being a miser.
All for the sake of ensuring the safety, well-being, and happiness of his wife, children, and family.
Previously, it was his bounden duty as Rong Wei. Now, it was to provide a safe and free haven for his little wife.
As long as his little wife and children lived safely and happily, that was his ultimate goal.
Xie Jingchen felt busy for half the night, but now it was only a little past three in the morning, with almost three more hours to go before dawn!
This place is an abyss, and only after six o’clock at least would he accurately learn whether sunlight would shine through here!
Xie Jingchen kicked at the flat brown stones on the ground. Such stones hardly support plant growth, and the fact that there wasn’t even a patch of algae growing suggested to him that this water... might be undrinkable?
