"Isn't this river connected to the ocean?" Su Wanning asked.

"The end is the ocean, but it will take nearly three days to cross the ocean. What's more, there will be people who will stop us at noon tomorrow, so there is no need to worry." Bai Ye replied.

Su Wanning felt relieved after hearing what Bai Ye said. After all, she was afraid that she would find herself floating in the sea when she woke up.

Since someone would stop her, she simply picked up the wine glass and poured two more glasses of wine. After drinking, she leaned against the window again to look out.

After being in a daze for a long time, Bai Ye stood up and walked out, "I'm going to go out for a while, and someone else will accompany you later."

But before she could ask more questions, Bai Ye walked out.

She was still thinking about Bai Ye's words. Someone was accompanying her? Could it be the man who had just left their boat for the main ship, or another male prostitute?

Soon, the hull began to shake.

I think it was Bai Ye who found someone to accompany her, "Brothers, let's..."

Su Wanning turned around and suddenly grabbed her throat. Seeing Zhan Beiwang walking towards her with a gloomy look on his face, she asked, "Why are you here?"

"Who does Aning want to come?" Zhan Beiwang walked to Su Wanning, reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Su Wanning was already feeling dizzy from drinking some wine, and the sudden pull made her mind even more confused. "Where's Bai Ye?"

"She probably doesn't have time to care about you now." Zhan Beiwang took the wine glass beside him, poured a glass of wine, and took a sip. "A Ning likes to drink, so how about I accompany you?"

Su Wanning shook her head, "I drank too much today."

Zhan Beiwang reached out and grabbed Su Wanning's hand that was messing with him, "Is this how you treat the person who accompanied you on the boat before?"

Su Wanning swallowed and stopped her chaotic hands, "How could that be? How can they compare with you?"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched Zhan Beiwang's face, his thumb gently rubbing his lips.

Then he leaned over to look at Zhan Beiwang and closed the window of the boat, and the temperature in the boat rose.

The boat swayed in the water, and the noise around it drowned out the sounds inside.

I don't know when it started to drizzle outside, and the raindrops fell on the boat, gathering into a stream and flowing down from above.

When I woke up in the morning, it was still raining outside. The boat docked at the shore of a city. Zhan Beiwang got off the boat first and bought an umbrella on the shore. Then he got off the boat holding Su Wanning, took a rented carriage, and headed straight to the inn in the city.

Su Wanning fell into a deep sleep on the bed in the inn.

When I woke up again, it was already 3 p.m. After waking up and eating something, I thought about going out for a walk. After all, I was in a city I had never been to, so I went out for a walk.

Su Wanning, who was originally planning to buy whatever she saw, saw that there were people on the street bringing their men to collect protection fees from the vendors. Not to mention here, she had seen a lot of such cases in later generations. If the amount collected was small, she would not care, but she did not expect that they would collect dozens of taels from each household.

There are so many shops on the street, so wouldn't they have to collect thousands of taels every month? What's more, it might not be collected once a month. After seeing the shopkeeper handing the silver to the group of people collecting protection fees, he sighed.

Zhan Beiwang knew what Su Wanning was thinking when he saw the hesitation on her face. "Perhaps collecting protection money is a form of security for them. I heard this afternoon that there's a gang of robbers who specialize in robbing shops on the street. What's more, they do make quite a lot of money."

"Even if you make a lot, you can't afford to pay so much every time." Su Wanning said as she walked towards the store.

Zhan Beiwang followed her, wanting to say something but stopping himself. The two of them entered the pastry shop, tried a few pastries, which were quite good, and ordered a few pieces for each. However, when it came time to pay the bill, they were dumbfounded.

"You mean these fifteen cakes cost forty taels?" Su Wanning exclaimed in surprise. Are these cakes made of gold? They're so expensive.

"Our pastries are all handmade by our staff, using the freshest ingredients," the shopkeeper explained with a smile.

Seeing that the pastries had been packed, she took out forty taels and put them on the table. The sympathy she had for each store because of collecting protection fees just now disappeared in an instant.

It turns out that the protection fees are collected from them.

After leaving the pastry shop, Su Wanning looked at the entire street and asked, "Are the prices on this entire street so expensive?"

Zhan Beiwang nodded, "Maybe it's because of the Tianchen Festival, the prices on the whole street are about the same."

Su Wanning turned and walked towards the inn. Although she had a lot of money, she was not a sucker.

"How long will it take us to go back?"

"I asked the horse-drawn carriage rental company before, and they said it only goes to Muchao City, and it takes about two hours to take a horse-drawn carriage." Zhan Beiwang replied.

Su Wanning looked at the sky and knew that they could only wait until tomorrow morning to go back. The two of them returned to the inn and extended their stay for another day.

When it was time for dinner, she didn't go out again, but took out the food she had stored from the space and ate it.

She remembered that when she went out today, Zhan Beiwang said that there was a group of robbers recently who specialized in robbing shops, so there must be a lot of things there.

If she and Zhan Beiwang went over and took the things they had robbed, in order to prevent the robbers from going crazy, they would just kill them.

Thinking of this, he turned the space around and prepared to take out two more invisibility cloaks that had been refreshed. "Where are the locations of the bandits you mentioned earlier?"

"It should be on the mountain not far away. What's wrong?" Zhan Beiwang looked at Su Wanning, and seeing her expression suddenly change, he put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and looked at her.

"Aning, you look a little pale, what happened?"

Su Wanning didn't hear what Zhan Beiwang was saying, but her consciousness kept wandering in the space.

Her original space was a seven-story shopping mall and a five-story hospital.

But now the hospital is still there intact.

However, the mall had no more space above the sixth floor, and her consciousness could not get through.

Thinking of something, I consciously went to the supermarket and took out a bag of potato chips, but nothing new appeared on the shelves.

No wonder the space didn’t refresh when she took out the windows and floors of the hospital last time. Maybe there was already a sign at that time.

Now there are only six floors left of the shopping mall in the space. Does that mean that the space will disappear one day in the future?

If it was really as she guessed, then she had to prepare in advance.

Just as she was planning, she was suddenly interrupted by Zhan Beiwang, "Aning, what happened?"

Su Wanning reacted and looked at Zhan Beiwang, "The space is about to disappear."

Zhan Beiwang paused, then reached out and hugged Su Wanning, "It's okay, I'm here and I won't let your quality of life decline."

Thinking about all the money in the space, if the space disappears, where will it go? At least we need to find a place to put other things before the space disappears.
