"Okay."
Su Ling also knew that Uncle Zhang and the others needed to be properly settled.
They couldn't always take them with them as they traveled around. Letting them settle down was the best course of action.
The only ones she wanted to take with her were Sister Na and the others, and that was it.
Her castle would continue to expand and upgrade, becoming a large base like in her past life, but that was for the future, not now.
Before the matters at hand were dealt with, she hadn't yet considered turning the castle into a base for doomsday survivors.
After reaching an agreement with Shang Qi, Su Ling released her arms from around his neck, covered her mouth, and yawned. She found a comfortable position in his arms to lie down, then looked at him with teary eyes, "Do you want to go to the space? I'm tired and want to sleep."
Going back to her room now would be troublesome. It was better to just go to the cabin in the space and sleep for a while.
"Okay."
Shang Qi had just replied when his vision suddenly lit up.
He and Su Ling had already been transferred from the sofa in the control room to the bed in the cabin room in Su Ling's space.
With the environment changing, Shang Qi could look at Su Ling more directly. Her wine was still lingering, her cheeks were flushed, like ripe peaches, inviting him to taste.
Thinking that she had been drinking, although she was now sober, she still seemed a bit tipsy.
"Sleep, I'll go outside and take a look," Shang Qi said, about to release Su Ling and get up.
However, Su Ling held him. As Shang Qi looked at her, her cheeks were red, and her eyes were moist as she looked at him. "Do you think it's too bright here and you can't sleep? That's why you want to go outside?"
"No," Shang Qi kissed Su Ling's forehead and said gently, coaxing her, "I'm not tired, you sleep."
Su Ling hummed, loosened her grip on Shang Qi's hand, turned over, and closed her eyes.
Shang Qi got up, pulled the blanket over her, and then left the room.
Emerging from the cabin, Shang Qi arrived at the fruit-laden courtyard. The abundance of fruit made his eyes water.
Shang Qi went to the flowing water feature, looked at the water flowing out, bent down slightly, washed his hands, and scooped up a handful of water.
The water in the space was incredibly sweet and clear. He was very familiar with it. He drank it often. His A Ling would bottle it for him to restore his energy.
After drinking the water, Shang Qi walked to a table and sat down. He looked up to see clusters of grapes hanging high above, like pearls and agate.
Beneath the grape trellis, large, red strawberries were everywhere, beautiful and captivating.
There were mangoes, lychees, bayberries, pomelos, durians, apples... Fruits in season and out of season filled the garden, with branches laden with ripe fruits, colorful and very tempting.
Beyond the courtyard were fields of wheat, corn, and rice paddies, with herds of pigs, cattle, and sheep... the endless space was full of life.
Shang Qi thought that he had truly found a treasure.
The girl he had taught for five years in his past life, whom he had watched grow step by step, had become so powerful that he had to rely on her.
He was being protected by the Old Ancestor of the Wen family.
Although that group of old folks was quite unreliable.
They were quite reliable when it came to finding him a wife.
Shang Qi sat in the courtyard for a long time, so long that he fell asleep on the chair.
He slept for quite a while.
Shang Qi had a dream. In his dream, he stood on a high city wall, the scorching sun beating down, and the wind that blew was hot.
Outside the city walls, zombies roamed, constantly surging from afar, from all directions.
Shang Qi stood with his back to the light and soon saw three figures moving about five hundred meters below the city wall.
With almost a single glance, Shang Qi saw Su Ling in the eyes of the three individuals.
