Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 172

Shen Lingjun pricked her finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the tortoise shell.

Blood oath ceremony, that must be how it works, right?

The tortoise shell remained completely still at first, and the drop of blood that landed on it looked like a crystal-clear ruby.

But then, as if absorbed by the tortoise shell, the blood droplet vanished without a trace!

There is a reaction!

Shen Lingjun tried touching the tortoise shell, and suddenly, a completely unfamiliar space appeared before her eyes!

Shen Lingjun stared in utter shock at everything before her.

This must be inside a building, with a depth of four or five zhang and a height of more than one zhang. The space is even larger than the largest hall that Shen Lingjun had seen in the palace.

The floor, walls, and ceiling were all made of materials Shen Lingjun had never seen before. The floor was like a slate or a porcelain slab, exceptionally smooth with faint patterns on it. The walls were as white as snow, flat and clean, and he couldn't tell what they were painted with.

The space was filled with shelves that reached the ceiling. Most of the shelves were empty, while some were filled with cardboard boxes, bottles, and jars.

The paper was unlike any paper Shen Lingjun had ever seen. The bottles and jars were even more unusual; some were semi-hard and very light, containing pills or powders—the same medicine Liu Manman had taken out earlier; others were completely transparent, like the finest crystal glass, and usually contained liquids.

Almost every container was printed with text. Some were strange symbols that Shen Lingjun couldn't understand at all; some were similar to the characters she knew, but simpler with far fewer strokes; and some were Arabic numerals that Liu Manman had told her about before.

She had no idea what the medicines were for; they were beyond her knowledge of medicine.

The more Shen Lingjun looked, the more indescribable the shock in his heart became.

Clearly, this space, including everything in it, does not belong to the country she lives in, or even to this world!

They come from another completely unfamiliar world!

Shen Lingjun thought of Liu Manman's last words: "I don't know if I can go back to the other side after I die."

Does "over there" refer to another world?

Is Liu Manman from another world?

No wonder she had so many novel ideas in her mind that were different from this era, making her seem exceptionally unique.

Shen Lingjun looked around the space and saw some messy junk piled up inside. These belonged to her era and were probably collected into the space by Liu Manman after she came here.

Shen Lingjun tried it out. She couldn't enter the space herself; she could only see everything inside. She could also control the things inside with her mind, taking things out or putting them into the space. This feeling was quite magical.

However, the space can only hold inanimate objects; it cannot hold living things, not even a small insect.

In addition, she also discovered through experiments that time seemed to stand still in this space. She put a bowl of hot tea in it, and the tea didn't emit any steam. After half an hour, it was still scalding hot when she took it out.

The space was carried by the tortoise shell, but now the space has recognized Shen Lingjun as its master, so even if she doesn't wear the tortoise shell close to her body, she can still enter the space.

After figuring out how to use the space, Shen Lingjun's initial shock subsided; now she simply found it utterly absurd.

With such a treasure in her possession, how did Liu Manman end up dying such a tragic death?

Shen Lingjun's mind was now gushing with ideas about the function of this space.
