If the space could be entered for only one hour, she wouldn't have to spend the night in the wild. There's nothing she can do about it. It's fate. She'll just have to make do with it for now!

But Xiao Yu is dead, so shouldn’t her doom be considered over?

Thinking of this, Zhong Ning closed his eyes and his consciousness instantly returned to the book spirit space.

In the space, the book named "The Treasure in the Palm" was still standing firmly on the bookshelf.

Zhong Ning tapped it, and the whole book turned into smoke, dispersing into golden light, and finally condensing into three red sachets of the same size.

It seems that there is no need to affect the male and female protagonists to complete the mission. As long as you survive your own death, the mission will be completed.

Zhong Ning opened the treasure bags one by one, just like opening a blind box, with exciting surprises.

as predicted.

The first treasure bag opens a skill card: Voice of Beasts!

There is also a line of small words below explaining that with this skill, you can communicate with any animal.

The second treasure bag opened a points value-added card: 5 points.

Zhong Ning added all these 5 points to his physical strength.

Although she has now successfully copied Xiao Yu's civil and military skills, her basic physical strength is there. Once she encounters a real master, she is afraid that she will not be able to withstand even three moves.

The third treasure bag opened was still a low-level copy card.

Zhong Ning's eyes lit up. This low-level copy card was so awesome. She couldn't even imagine how powerful the intermediate and advanced ones would be.

If she could get a high-level duplicate card, she couldn't imagine what a cheerful and enthusiastic little girl she would become.

the other side.

Suddenly, a series of gurgling sounds of varying lengths came from the sky above the courtyard.

This is the secret signal of cooperation between the Beidi spies and Xiao Yu. Once the gurgling sound is heard, it means something is happening and Xiao Yu will definitely come out to meet them.

But today, for some reason, he learned the cooing sound several times, but he didn't see any lights come on in the inner courtyard.

Doubts arose in the man's mind. This shouldn't be the case!

The master is skilled in martial arts and has sharp hearing. He can hear even a single sound, and in the past he would come out to meet him quickly.

But he hasn't shown up yet today.

what on earth is it?

The spy leaped into the inner house and tapped twice with his fingers in the room where Xiao Yu was resting.

There was still no sound inside.

He didn't care about anything else and rolled in, but saw that the quilt was neatly made on the bed, but there was no sign of the person.

He checked carefully and found no signs of a fight in the room.

It can be seen that the master left on his own for some business.

But where would he go in the middle of the night?

After secretly searching the entire yard, he found no remains. He could only assume that his master had gone out for something and could not meet him today.

But he has important information to report!

What should I do when the time comes and I can’t find anyone?

....

The next day.

Zhong Ning woke up on a tree branch, feeling sore in her back and body. She returned to the space, took a shower, put on some simple makeup, changed her clothes back into women's clothing, and then came out of the space.

I went to the street stalls to have breakfast first and inquire about the situation, but the street looked no different from usual, which showed that this matter had not attracted any attention yet.

After breakfast, Zhong Ning went to the bookstore to submit the latest chapter of "The Legend of White Snake".

Shopkeeper Xu was also surprised to see that the visitor was a woman.

Zhong Ning hurriedly explained that these words were originally written by his brother.

As he is preparing for the exam soon, he is only focused on studying. Small things like delivering manuscripts will naturally be taken care of by his younger sister.

Shopkeeper Xu glanced at her, as if thinking about something, and then said with a smile: "You brother and sister, you look quite similar!"

"Since we share the same mother, we naturally have similarities!" Zhong Ning casually took over the conversation, and then said, "I wonder how the storybooks are selling these days?"

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Xu immediately said excitedly, "Miss, you may not know that your brother's "Legend of the White Snake" is selling extremely well."

"I followed your brother's previous marketing strategy and had the storytellers in restaurants and teahouses tell a couple of tales. As a result, all the copies of The Legend of the White Snake on display in the bookstores were sold out that day."

"We've been printing it on an expedited basis these past few days, and even with this, people are still urging us to print more!"

Shopkeeper Xu was talking with saliva flying everywhere. Zhong Ning rolled up his sleeves to block the attack of saliva and nodded in response.

"Look at me, I can't stop talking once I start," Shopkeeper Xu said with a wry smile. He then ran to the inner room, took out a silver ingot, and handed it to Zhong Ning. "This is the share of the storybooks I've sold recently. Please keep it for now, young lady."

Zhong Ning took the silver, which weighed about five taels. It was obvious that the sales of "The Legend of White Snake Volume 1" were very good recently.

This is great, as long as she can make money, she will be motivated to continue writing!

"Manager Xu, you're too polite. This is the second volume of the manuscript. Since my brother is really busy preparing for the exam recently, the submission time for the third volume will be a few days later."

Zhong Ning said this for a reason, because the city was about to fall into chaos, and she planned to go to Puji Temple on the hill outside the city to live for a while.

The distance between the two places would take about two hours by carriage.

It's really tiring to run such a long distance.

"My dear girl!" Shopkeeper Xu's face was filled with bitterness. "Ten days is already too long for this manuscript to be delivered. If it's a few days later, I'm afraid those book lovers will destroy my shop."

Zhong Ning touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. "Please forgive me, Shopkeeper Xu. I just said it was possible. If I can deliver it on time, I will. If I am really delayed, please forgive me."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Xu immediately poured tea enthusiastically, saying ingratiatingly, "Young lady, please give my regards to your brother."

Then he took out a sealed copy of the first volume of "The Legend of White Snake" and two packages of exquisite snacks from the inner room and handed them all to Zhong Ning. "It's just a small token of my appreciation, not a token of respect. Thank you for coming this far!"

"Manager Xu, you're too polite. I'll go back now and urge my brother to do something. I absolutely cannot let him delay Manager Xu's mission!"

"Thank you, miss. Thank you, miss!" Shopkeeper Xu said with a smile on his face.

Zhong Ning smiled on the surface, but in his heart he was saying MMP and really wanted to slap himself. Is this the reaction after becoming rich?

Ever since she got the 30,000 taels from Xiao Yu, she has no motivation to write storybooks.

I just want to lie down and enjoy life.

Forget it, since it has come to this, I might as well get through this period first.

Zhong Ning stood up and took his leave. Just as he reached the front hall of the bookstore, he saw a young man in a blue and white robe walk in.

"Shopkeeper, I'm here again. May I ask if the mortal who wrote 'The Legend of the White Snake' has arrived?"

Shopkeeper Xu stiffened slightly, and with a bitter expression, he approached, "Mr. Fang, why are you so persistent? When our shop agreed with Mr. Hongchen, we promised not to reveal any of his privacy. Your frequent visits are really putting me in a difficult position!"

"I just admire his talent and want to get to know him, but I don't want to hurt him. Boss, why are you being so secretive?" Fang Ping looked anxious and impatient.

He has come to the house three times in ten days.
