Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

"Brother Zhou, I'm not so badly injured that I can't take care of myself. If you don't mind, come to my house, and we'll make noodles together."

Does this girl really not value herself? Sick and injured, what nutrition will she get from noodles? I'll just make some and take it over tomorrow. Zhou Chenyu thought to herself, but replied, "Okay."

Su Fengnan breathed a sigh of relief. If things continued like this, she would accumulate more and more favors, and she didn't know how she would ever be able to repay them.

The two chatted casually, and before they knew it, the car had entered Zijiang County. Zhou Chenyu took her directly to her apartment building and gently instructed her, "Don't rush to school today. Go back and get some rest. Don't cook; I've already arranged for someone to deliver food in a bit."

Su Fengnan wanted to refuse, but the other person genuinely meant well for her, and she couldn't bring herself to say no. She could only nod repeatedly, "Okay."

After watching her go upstairs, Zhou Chenyu turned around, drove his car, and headed towards the racetrack.

Su Fengnan pushed open the door to find the house sparkling clean. Her younger sister had not only cleaned the house spotlessly, but also stocked the refrigerator with plenty of fresh meat and vegetables, making it easy to cook whatever she wanted.

As she went to the balcony to collect the laundry, she noticed two thorny plants in the corner—a cactus and an aloe vera. Surrounded by this lush greenery, the soreness in her eyes from overuse seemed to lessen considerably, and her mood brightened.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Su Fengnan opened the door and saw a young man standing outside carrying an exquisite food box.

"Hello Ms. Su, this is a nutritious meal that Mr. Zhou specially instructed us to send to you."

"Thank you." Su Fengnan accepted the food box, a warm feeling welling up inside her. Zhou Chenyu's meticulous care had truly touched her. However, she wasn't hungry at the moment, so she placed the food box on the dining table, intending to eat it later.

Right now, she has something more urgent to do—to find out what secrets that mysterious space holds.

Su Fengnan entered the bedroom, drew the curtains tightly, sat on the bed, stared intently at the marks on her wrist, and silently uttered the word "enter" in her mind. In an instant, a feeling of weightlessness washed over her, and she landed steadily beside the stone table in the meditation room.

This time, she came in fully conscious! Su Fengnan's eyes welled up with tears of excitement. This was no dream; she really did have her own cheat-like space, just like the protagonist in a novel!

Looking around, the meditation room seemed to have changed. The originally dim light had become bright and soft, and a fresh scent filled the air. The spotless space seemed to have been carefully maintained. She checked it carefully but found nothing unusual, so she turned and walked towards the Pure Spirit Spring.

The sight before her made her hold her breath. The spring was surrounded by ice-blue flowers, their petals shimmering with starlight, illuminating the entire space in a dreamlike glow. This was precisely her favorite color, so beautiful it was impossible to look away.

Su Fengnan took a deep breath, the pure air making her feel refreshed. She boldly scooped up a handful of the spiritual spring water and drank it. In an instant, it felt as if every pore had been cleansed and soothed, all her fatigue and worries vanished, leaving her feeling refreshed and radiant.

Just then, a strange vision flashed through her mind, followed by a piercing pain, as if steel needles were stabbing straight into her soul. Su Fengnan clutched her head in agony, unable to help but let out a low cry of pain.

After an unknown amount of time, the excruciating pain receded like a tide, replaced by a series of profound and obscure runes flooding her mind. At the same time, an ethereal and melodious voice, seemingly from beyond the heavens, slowly resounded in her mind.

She finally understood the origin of this space.

This was actually a divine stone left behind by the ancient powerful being Fan Chen to repay a karmic debt. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, the divine stone was split in two by later generations and made into a pendant and a bracelet. The bracelet eventually entered the Buddhist community and was passed down from generation to generation; while the pendant's whereabouts remain unknown.

The space is now only half its original size, and if it doesn't recognize a master and be nourished, it will dissipate into the world. Fortunately, as the space was dissipating, it was accidentally stained with her blood, which saved it. But this is only a temporary measure; to restore the space to its full size, it still needs to accumulate immense merit.

After a long while, Su Fengnan slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with shock. This opportunity was purely coincidental; even Master Juyuan probably hadn't expected that the gift he gave would come with such an overpowered cheat code. She secretly rejoiced, only hoping that she wouldn't need to cultivate immortality to restore the space in the future, otherwise the world would be too chaotic.

As for how to nourish the space, the only way is to start by doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.

After figuring out what had happened, Su Fengnan left the space and decided to temporarily use it as an undisturbed study room for secluded study.

In the afternoon, the cheers at the racetrack were deafening as Mu Yang's team won the championship.

"Brother Zhou, you absolutely have to come to the celebration banquet tonight!" Mu Yang shouted excitedly into Zhou Chenyu's ear.

As the cheers subsided, Zhou Chenyu patted Mu Yang on the shoulder, his tone calm but firm: "I won't be going to the celebration banquet. You can drink a few more glasses for me. I have things to do tonight."

"No way, Brother Zhou, how can we win the championship without you? We won't have as much fun without you," Mu Yang quickly stopped him.

"I don't need too much attention." Zhou Chenyu looked at him with a determined gaze. "The opportunity is yours. Celebrate it."

With that, he turned to leave. Mu Yang stamped his feet anxiously, "Brother Zhou, my own brother! I'm begging you, you're being way too modest!"

Zhou Chenyu shrugged helplessly, patted his shoulder, and gave him a knowing look: "I believe in you, good luck."

When Assistant Zhao took Zhou Chenyu home, Zhou's wife had already prepared the meal. He quickly took a shower, ate with his grandmother, and then asked Zhou's wife to pack another portion to send to Su Fengnan.

However, when he arrived at Su Fengnan's residence with the food box, he found her gone. Guessing that she might have gone to evening self-study, he had no choice but to take the food box home to handle his work.

The survey results he received during the day were already in his email. Zhou Chenyu sat in front of the computer, his finger hovering over the mouse, hesitant to open them. He feared the truth would be even worse than he had imagined.

After some internal struggle, he finally opened the email. After reading through a few pages of information, he learned that the man called "Brother Kuan" had long since cleaned up his act and was now ostensibly a successful real estate entrepreneur, but his whereabouts were unknown, and he rarely appeared in public.

His gaze swept over a photograph, and the name Pan Jinglian stung his eyes. This woman was that man's lover from back then, and the culprit who led to his and his mother's kidnapping.

The photo shows a family of three at the beach; the teenage boy should be a grown man now. The woman in the photo is currently enjoying herself abroad.

Zhou Chenyu's lips curled into a chilling, icy smile. No wonder that person went abroad several times a year under the guise of work; it turned out he was keeping another family outside.

Very well, since they want to be together so much, then he will grant their wish.

Anger and hatred almost consumed his reason. Zhou Chenyu used all his strength to suppress the raging fire in his chest, picked up his phone, and dialed a number...
