Everything is a Big Fat Zero
"Why is this place so small?" Da Xia asked after the silence lasted for a few long moments. Her out-of-the-blue question made the kitty look at her with confusion.
"Well, you know in most of the stories that I have read, the female lead always gets a huge spatial dimension as her cheat, but this place is as small as a room." Da Xia explained her point.
The kitty shook its head before answering, "Well, you said most of them, not all of them. Looks like you belong to those few ones whose luck sucks. Also, this is a system space, not the spatial dimension."
Da Xia huffed at the Kitty but stayed silent. It was not like she wanted a bigger dimension or anything. What would she even do with that?
"Have you decided yet which option you are going to choose?" The kitty asked.
Da Xia looked at the screen which was still visible in front of her.
"I'll go with the second one, but before that, I have a few questions to ask." Da Xia said after a few moments.
"You have too many questions host, but never mind. Go on." The kitty said as it flapped its little wings a few times.
"How am I going to keep the bodies of the princes safe?" It was one of the things that were giving her headaches and she needed an instant solution for this one. Thankfully she got one from the kitty. "Very simple. You can store their bodies here. Like this..."
Another screen appeared beside the previous one and Da Xia watched in surprise as the little kitty started clicking on various buttons. The very next second, two beds appeared in the center of the glass-like platform, and in the next blink, Da Xia watched the dead bodies of her two husbands appearing on the bed.
Both of them looked like the very definition of ethereal beauty. If not for their cold body and non-beating hearts, both of them almost appeared alive.
"They will be safe here, right?" Da Xia asked as she stared at the two bodies from afar.
"Of course, completely safe as long as you won't end up dying." The kitty answered.
"What will happen if I die?" Da Xia asked curiously.
"Well, we will need to kill you to find out the answer to that question." The kitty replied in its sarcastic tone.
Da Xia glared at the kitty and the latter decided to shut up. "Fine, fine! Moving to your next question." The kitty hurriedly tried to change the topic.
"Well, since both of them are dead then how can they touch me?" Da Xia asked. She still remembered the warm embrace of the red-robed prince and his warm breath on her nape.
Were ghosts supposed to breathe?
"Well, probably because that was how you were gonna create them in the story of yours. You wanted the female lead to be the only one who could see, feel, and touch the two ghost princes. There could be another explanation as well. Since your soul transmigrated here, probably some kind of link formed between the three of you and thus you can feel them as if they are still alive."
The kitty presented these two possible theories in front of Da Xia.
They had so many questions but not a single correct answer, only a bunch of assumptions and theories.
Da Xia took a deep breath as she first looked at the bodies of the two dead Princes and then at the screen that displayed the choices. She needed to forget about the mysteries for the time being and focus on the important tasks.
She had two ghosts to handle and an entire Province to take care of.
The screen with the two options still visible on it, flew toward Da Xia as if it knew that she was ready to choose.
Da Xia pressed her index finger on the second option and the box glowed in a golden light, and the next second, a new screen appeared with a "WELCOME" written on it.
"Let me tell you your current stats." The kitty said as it clicked on an icon on the top left corner of the screen.
"Here it is." The kitty said as it moved the screen back in front of Da Xia. A new screen was staring back at her with her stats on it.

Da Xia stared at the screen which was filled with zeroes. Everything was a big fat zero.
"What are these daily goals?" She asked the kitty.
"If there is any task that you think you can complete on a daily basis, you can add it to your daily goals. Whenever you will complete that goal you will receive prowess points. If you complete the daily goals for a week without failing, you will get bonus prowess points. The same goes for months and years." The kitty explained.
Da Xia nodded her head in understanding. She looked at the screen one more time and decided to change the zeroes into bigger numbers soon. "Alright! I think I should return now. I have a lot to plan and no idea where to start. Maybe I should start with my very own house." Da Xia said with a sigh.
It was like the kitty was waiting for this very exact moment because the next second, Da Xia found herself back in the bedroom where she was previously caged into Li Jun's arms.
"Are you feeling sleepy, wifey?" Li Jun's hot breath caressed her ear the moment she returned.
"No, I'm not sleepy or tired. Neither I've lost my memory. Now let me go. I have a lot of work to do." Da Xia said in a sharp tone and without even missing a single beat she climbed out of the bed.
Li Jun was taken aback by her powerful voice and the sudden push that she gave him, therefore, by the time he tried to catch her again, she had already climbed down from the bed and was making her way out.
