Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

Xia Jiumeng carried Li Shen from the sofa to the bed.

"Kelis, have someone bring some advanced cores over."

As soon as she finished speaking, a water-blue virtual light ball appeared at the head of the bed. It was the projection of Kelly's system.

"Miss, what level do you need?"

Xia Jiumeng estimated and said, "Two level 2 ones and three level 60 ones, all with ice or water attributes."

"Ok."

After agreeing, Kellys used the system's management authority to issue an order to the warehouse management office of the Duke's Mansion.

After the last upgrade, Xia Jiumeng authorized Kellys to coordinate most of the affairs in the Duke's Mansion, so that she could help him handle matters in the mansion.

Xia Jiumeng used her mental power to transform into ice-type ability to penetrate into Li Shen's body to sort out and replenish his chaotic energy while waiting for the core to be delivered.

Although her mental power had advanced, the act of leaving Li Shen behind had consumed most of it, and the energy she could use in her core was too little. Even though she had been absorbing it since she came back, she still hadn't recovered much.

She could only temporarily stabilize Li Shen's condition now, she couldn't help him replenish his strength.

Li Shenshen is at the critical moment of promotion. His whole body is full of violent power. The power that should have been compressed in his body is now running rampant in his body without any rules due to lack of stamina. If this continues, he may die.

Fortunately, the Duke's Mansion has many cores. Although Li Shen is a cat, he still has ice energy, so using the same type of core should be enough.

Chunqing, who went for afternoon tea, was a little confused when she saw people in a hurry carrying metal boxes in the corridor, but when she saw the word "Ku" on their uniforms, she guessed that they were the people who managed the warehouse.

He stepped forward and asked, "Where are you going?"

The leading man saw Chunqing and politely replied, "Maid Chunqing, the young lady asked the warehouse for some cores and we were just about to send them over."

"Really? Then let's go together." Chunqing nodded and walked with them.

Arriving at the bedroom, Chunqing knocked on the door and said, "Miss, the warehouse staff said the core you requested has arrived."

"Bring it in."

"Yes."

Chun Qing sensed a faint fluctuation of power and her eyes darkened. Could it be that the young lady was advancing?

So we need a core?

Without delay, he immediately took the box containing the core and said, "Just give me the things. I'll take them in to the young lady. You can leave now."

The people in the warehouse looked at each other, and the man in the lead said, "Maid Chunqing, since the young lady is not convenient to come out, you can sign for it." Then he took out a light screen and handed it to her.

The items in the Duke's Mansion's warehouse are all counted, and even if they are retrieved, a signature record is required. Logically, even if the young lady wants it, she should sign for it, but since it is not convenient for the young lady to have her maid sign for it, that is also fine.

Haruharu signed quickly, "Okay."

"Thank you." The man nodded and left with the people behind him.

"Miss?" Chunqing pushed the door open but saw no one.

Xia Jiumeng slightly turned sideways to block Li Shen and said, "Come in."

Chun Qing followed the sound to the bedroom and saw Xia Jiumeng sitting on the bed with a pale face. She immediately became very worried. "Miss, are you okay?"

"It's okay. I just don't have enough power to upgrade. Have you got the core?"

"Bring it."

Chun Qing opened the box, and several water-blue diamond-shaped crystals inside emitted a faint glow and a cold air.

Xia Jiumeng glanced at it to make sure there was no problem and lowered her eyes slightly, "Go out and clear the people nearby."

"Yes."

Chunqing nodded and walked out.

Xia Jiumeng's eyes darkened as she looked at Chunqing's figure.

She always felt that Chunqing was a little out of place, but she didn't detect any malice.

After Chunqing went out, she immediately cleared the area nearby and arranged some guards to guard not far away to prevent any unexpected situations from interfering with the lady's upgrade.

After arranging the guards, she walked to the end of the corridor not far away and waited. Although this position was far away, she could clearly see the situation in the bedroom, and she would have time to react if there was anything unusual.

Out of caution, Chun Qing took out some seeds and threw them on the ground. A light green light flashed in her hand, and those seeds instantly grew wildly as if they had taken a tonic. Vines with sharp barbs instantly climbed and spread above the corridor until they covered the entire top.

"That should be safe."

She is a wood-type mutant, and the vines she grows can protect and guard the surrounding area very well. Even if someone sneaks in, she can detect it instantly.

After doing all this, she pulled over a stool and sat down, waiting for the lady to complete her promotion.

As the personal maids chosen by the Duke for his young lady, they are not only loyal but also very powerful.

Everyone thought that the Duke's Palace's strongest level 67 psychic was in the Duke's Palace's Knights, but in fact he was by the young lady's side.

She actually followed the young lady when she left the mansion to go to the Thorny Snow Mountain, but unfortunately she couldn't climb the mountain.

She tried to break out several times but was blocked by a strange force. If she hadn't seen a young lady going out when she was thrown off the snow mountain one time, she would have found someone to blow up the mountain.

So, seeing that the young lady was in good condition, she breathed a sigh of relief, and after instructing Mo Yuanming to pay attention to the young lady's safety, she returned to the Duke's Mansion.

In the room, Xia Jiumeng was about to take action after realizing that there was no one nearby, but then she felt the breath of an alien plant driven by the wood-type ability, and immediately used her mental power to detect it.

But I saw an interesting scene.

"I didn't expect this maid to be so simple."

She thought Chunqing was an ordinary maid. After all, she didn't detect any energy fluctuations from her. She didn't expect that she was hiding so deeply, and her strength seemed to be quite strong.

Seeing the vines she had grown surrounding the corridor in a protective posture, Xia Jiumeng didn't worry about it.

Quite loyal.

He used his strength to suck in the highest-level core, extracted the ice power inside and slowly injected it into Li Shen's body. He then used his mental power to guide the power to flow and compress within his body.

A clear "pop" sound was heard.

The core in Xia Jiumeng's hand shattered. The core that originally glowed with light blue fluorescence now became dark and covered with cracks. She just pinched it lightly and it turned into powder and disappeared.

This is because the energy inside has been exhausted.

Xia Jiumeng immediately picked up the next one and continued to draw power. Soon the core shattered and disappeared again, and then he picked up another one.

Soon all five cores were absorbed. When the last core in Xia Jiumeng's hand disappeared, Li Shen's body suddenly began to twitch.

As the crackling sound of bones turning was heard, the cat's body, which was originally only as high as the calf, began to lengthen, and the long black and blue fur began to fade, revealing its fair skin.

The limbs gradually grew longer and thicker, and the claws became fingers and toes.

Li Shen's face was also changing. The originally cute cat face slowly became angular, his narrow eyes were tightly closed, his long eyelashes were trembling slightly, and his black hair was drooping softly.

Seeing the familiar handsome face again, Xia Jiumeng suddenly became nervous and clenched her hands unconsciously.

Looking at the man's strong and solid but not exaggerated muscles and well-defined abdominal muscles, she subconsciously reached out and touched it.

At this moment, Li Shen suddenly opened his eyes, and a blue light flashed in his eyes, which was the symbol of ice power.

Xia Jiumeng "!"

Li Shen, who had just woken up, looked at the enlarged figure in front of him and her hand on his abdominal muscles.

"Ahem." Xia Jiumeng abruptly withdrew her hand and explained dryly, "I, wanted to pull the quilt."

Li Shen raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not expose her.

He moved his body, sat up, and pulled the quilt around his waist.

Looking at her shy look, a smile and gratitude flashed in his eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work during this time."

He had realized that he was about to advance, and originally wanted to say hello to her, but he didn't expect that the power in his body suddenly got out of control. He lost consciousness in an instant and could only subconsciously curl up his body to control the power.

But those forces were like wild horses that had broken free from their reins and were completely out of control. He was extremely anxious and thought that he was going to fail, but suddenly a gentle force entered his body and began to help him.

He knew it was her, and immediately began to use his own controlled power to follow her power circulating in his body and devour the unbridled power bit by bit.

"No, it's okay. How do you feel now?" Xia Jiumeng asked softly with a red face.

"I'm very good."

Li Shen moved his body. He was not quite used to being a cat for a while.

Xia Jiumeng smiled and said, "That's good. You should have a good rest. You will need to consolidate your strength after the promotion."

"I'll have someone send some cores later."

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Can you change back?"

Li Shen knew what she was asking and nodded.

"That's good. We don't have any clothes for you here for now. Please wait a moment."

"it is good."

Xia Jiumeng turned and walked out of the room. Chun Qing immediately came to meet her. Seeing the relief on Xia Jiumeng's face, she knew that things were going well and she felt relieved.

"Chunqing, get me a set of loose men's clothes."

Chunqing was a little confused. "Miss, are you going out?"

"No, I have a friend coming over."

Chunqing looked confused, but still responded, "Okay, I'll go find it right away."

But I was very confused in my heart, the lady’s friend?

When does a lady have friends when she hardly goes out? And why does she need to prepare clothes when her friends come over?

It’s weird.

But he quickly went to look for clothes.

There was a special tailoring department in the Duke's Mansion. After ordering someone to quickly make a large set of men's clothes, Chunqing waited there.

He even specifically instructed that the best materials be used.

Two hours later, Chunqing returned to the bedroom with the newly made clothes.

"Miss, please sit down."

Xia Jiumeng took the clothes and didn't let Chunqing in. She handed her a document and said, "This is the tribute that the Duke's Mansion wants to give to the royal family this time. Take it to the warehouse and get it. Send someone to deliver it to the palace tomorrow."

"Okay lady."

After seeing Chunqing leave with the things, Xia Jiumeng returned to the room and handed the clothes to Li Shen.

You can't keep him half-naked all the time.

Li Shen took the clothes and went to the bathroom to change. The material of the clothes was very good, probably the finest brocade cloth, no worse than the clothes he wore in the Tower of Thorns.

This also gave him a deeper understanding of the background of the Duke's Mansion.

Although he didn't interact much with people outside, he read a lot of books and heard a lot of things.

It seems that his little Jasmine's status is more noble than he thinks.

Hearing the sound of the glass door opening behind her, Xia Jiumeng turned around and saw a cold and noble man slowly walking out.

Xia Jiumeng's heart skipped a beat when she saw this.

It's obviously a simple white shirt and black trousers, but the man managed to make it look like an expensive suit. It must be said that for a handsome man, even if he wears a sack, it will be eye-catching.

"how?"

"good."

Seeing that his sweetheart was satisfied, Li Shen was naturally happy. He naturally took Xia Jiumeng's hand and sat down.

"Are you really planning on leaving here?"

While waiting for the clothes, Xia Jiumeng told him about her plans. Although Li Shen was worried, he still respected her.

"Well, I don't belong here anyway, and besides, we only have ten years."

Xia Jiumeng leaned on the man's chest. "I want to see the world with you instead of wasting time here."

Li Shen sighed and hugged her tightly, "Okay."

He would accompany her no matter what she wanted to do. Ten years was a rare blessing, and he didn't want to waste it.

*

In the next few days, Xia Jiumeng asked people to send a lot of cores. One reason was that Li Shen needed to stabilize his condition, and the second was that she also needed to absorb some to restore her strength.

She learned from Kellys that the Duke's Mansion had no side branches, which meant that she was the only heir.

But she didn't want to be trapped in the Duke's Mansion handling official business every day.

Since we can't lose the Duke's Mansion, we can just make arrangements for the Duke and control it remotely.

Upgraded Kellys again.

(SO: The cat has turned into a human~ Our heroine and Li Shen are also preparing to leave and live in their own world~

I've researched the plot about the brother that everyone is talking about, and decided to have the heroine act a bit more domineering when she returns, and give Ever a 'little gift' hehe.

As for the next world we will travel to, as requested by everyone, we will go to the world of golden sand fish.

Of course, if you are not interested in these, you can skip them. I will write titles for the chapters about traveling through the world~

There are many self-made OCs, I hope you like them.

System error correction, if there is anything wrong, please remind me, I will correct it when I have time~)
