Chapter 19: Thought He Was Useless, Turns Out He's Addictively Good

Father Su looked embarrassed. "They were caught red-handed. They can only be released after undergoing ideological education tomorrow."

The Sun family members, upon hearing the matter had been settled, breathed a sigh of relief—no need to borrow money or beg anyone for help.

No one knew how the two families negotiated it, but it was agreed: once the two were released, the wedding preparations would begin immediately.

Little did they know, they were letting their guard down too early.

There was no way Yun Yi would let them off so easily. As soon as everything quieted down, she found a public phone on the street and called Hua Wanqing.

Hua Wanqing had already been investigating the Su family, so this time he didn't even need to act—he simply made a call and let things flow naturally.

While waiting for nightfall to go out on her mission, Yun Yi couldn't suppress her curiosity about the mysterious space. After securely closing her windows and doors, she entered the space.

First, she visited the area where she had planted watermelon seeds. The ones watered with space well water had already grown to half a finger's height, while those watered with regular tap water showed no change.

The comparison proved she should be cautious with using space well water in the future.

Even though the space only allowed planting between cracks in the stone, she was still overjoyed—it was more than enough for self-sufficiency.

Driven by curiosity, she quickly made her way to the stone house nearby, hoping to find some answers.

As soon as she reached the door, it opened automatically, startling her.

But having experienced "external buffs" before, she quickly accepted it. She always believed everything had a reason.

Inside, a completely different world unfolded before her.

The entire room was filled with ancient-style zitan wood furniture. A display shelf against the wall showcased all kinds of porcelain, each piece clearly priceless.

There were two side rooms without doors.

The eastern partition was made of exquisite silk, while the western side used curtains made of pearls—luxurious to the extreme.

Below the display shelf was a row of cabinets. She opened them to find half filled with tea sets and the other half with wine sets, each more exquisite than the last.

The eastern side was a bedroom, all furnished with zitan wood: canopy bed, vanity, wardrobe, table and chairs. The bedding was made of premium silk.

The clothes in the wardrobe were all traditional outfits, perfectly matched with shoes—complete sets.

The vanity drawers were filled with jewelry—one glance told her they were all handcrafted masterpieces.

The western study used huanghuali wood entirely. The bookshelf was full, and the lower cabinets were stocked with top-quality brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones. The writing desk featured two mountain-shaped jade paperweights and a top-tier inkstone, with various calligraphy brushes hanging neatly.

At the center of the desk lay a jade slip. The paper beneath it bore the phrase: "Fated ones will naturally merge."

Before Yun Yi could react, the jade slip flew directly to her forehead.

It took her a moment to recover. From the jade slip, she learned this place was called the "Spirit Stone Space."

Each kind of stone inside had a unique function:

Blue agate: cooling

Terahertz stone: radiation resistance

Yellow-green warmstone: prevents cold and relieves fatigue

Jade-green coldstone: supplies trace minerals, balances the body, enhances immunity

Lapis lazuli: boosts spirituality, stabilizes emotions, protects from evil

Clear quartz: purifies the mind, repels evil, improves memory

Amethyst: aids concentration, enhances memory, awakens intuition, and symbolizes love as a guardian stone

Rose quartz enhances heart and lung health, relaxes tension, boosts personal charm, helps improve relationships, draws good connections, and even brings business fortune.

Turquoise, known as the "stone of luck," promotes cell regeneration, boosts immunity, and enhances brain function. It also attracts wealth, repels evil, and ensures safety.

Garnet strengthens vitality, stamina, and endurance, promotes regeneration and blood circulation, inspires the will to live, and enhances elegance and self-confidence.

Citrine stabilizes emotions, helps with stomach ailments, and when worn, can bring unexpected wealth.

Smoky quartz speeds up wound healing, boosts immunity, restores cell vitality, has anti-aging effects, enhances fertility and libido, and reduces or prevents insomnia.

All this information was interpreted by Yun Yi from the jade slip. The stones in the space also had grades – the higher the grade, the stronger the effect.

The last entry described the spring spirit in the pavilion. The water could detoxify, beautify, regulate the body, enhance medicinal effects, and support plant growth. When stones soaked in this spring, their effects were amplified.

Yun Yi's eyes sparkled. What she thought was chicken ribs turned out to be gourmet—she could just lie back and enjoy it all.

After calming down, she went to explore the rest of the house.

Exiting the study, she found a door at the back of the living room.

It led to a kitchen facing the living room. One big stove, two small ones. The shelves beside it had every cooking tool imaginable, from spoons to steamers.

The back section mirrored the front layout. The west side held the storage room.

Though labeled "storage," it was filled with treasures—gold, silver, jade, porcelain, silks, high-quality fabrics—all neatly arranged.

She was certain the house had been enchanted. The storage room looked small, but the actual volume was far beyond what met the eye.

The eastern room housed a natural open-air hot spring. Clearly, the house was built here because of it.

Upon entering, she discovered it connected to the bedroom. A light push opened the stone door she had missed earlier.

Thinking of the spring's benefits, she was eager to try.

She grabbed a porcelain bowl from the kitchen and walked straight to the pavilion.

At the well, she knelt and scooped half a bowl of water.

She took a small sip—sweet, refreshing.

Then gulped the rest. No discomfort, no pain.

Just as she was getting impatient, she noticed a gray-brown sticky substance on her skin.

She immediately understood—it was toxins being expelled from her body.

Unable to stand the filth, she left the space, grabbed clean clothes, and returned.

Heading straight to the hot spring, she undressed and immersed herself.

A wave of comfort spread through her body. Yun Yi couldn't help but sigh—this spring must also relieve fatigue.
