She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 221: Good News! Unlocked 15th and 16th Floors

Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Good News! Unlocked 15th and 16th Floors

But there she was, Xiang Ying sitting on the horseback, with Jie Chen leading the horse back.

Seventh Princess and Lin Lingxiang, surrounded by others, tearfully expressed their worries along the way.

Xiang Ying comforted each one of them, then went over to embrace Xiang Li.

When asked how she came back, Xiang Ying spoke before Jie Chen, "There’s famine everywhere outside, but the Vice General treated me better, so of course I came back."

"Just a few days ago, I joined the Vice General in suppressing bandits, and we seized two cartloads of food supplies, which the Vice General allowed me to distribute freely."

After she finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

Soon enough, they really saw Qi Fengyi, driving two carts, following behind.

Even Skinny Monkey and Acid Scholar looked puzzled.

They had been traveling together all this way, how had they not noticed these two carts?

Jie Chen glanced at Xiang Ying and nodded slightly, giving her cover.

He knew better than anyone where these supplies came from.

They must have been taken from her seemingly endless little treasure trove.

"Has the fugitive been captured?" The voice of the Sixth Prince came.

Xiang Ying turned around, watching the Sixth Prince approach with Xiang Qianqian and attendants at his side.

She slightly narrowed her eyes.

After many days apart, both the Sixth Prince and Xiang Qianqian were still so irritating.

Xiang Qianqian didn’t want to miss this opportunity to torment Xiang Ying.

She said, "Vice General, since she is an escaped fugitive, according to military regulations, she deserves to be severely punished with fifty heavy blows."

The Sixth Prince chimed in with her, "Fifty blows are not enough, this is a special case; she must be severely punished, in my view, eighty heavy blows!"

Seventh Princess clenched her teeth, "Xiang Qianqian, don’t go too far, you..."

Before she could finish, a maid beside Xiang Qianqian stepped forward and slapped her.

"How dare you, to call Lady Qianqian by her name?"

Xiang Ying scoffed, "A mere consort, what’s wrong with calling her by her name? Just because she’s become a consort, does she no longer go by Xiang Qianqian?"

She said this, dismounted, and helped Seventh Princess up.

"Big sister," Seventh Princess covered her face, full of grievances, "when you were not here, Xiang Qianqian always tried to cause trouble."

Xiang Ying shot a knife-like glance at Xiang Qianqian, who instinctively took a step back.

Xiang Ying was her nemesis.

"Your Highness, look at her, speaking like this, it doesn’t matter if she offends me, but she never even thought of respecting you," Xiang Qianqian pleaded with the Sixth Prince.

As expected, the Sixth Prince’s face darkened.

He had intended to deal with Jie Chen, and Xiang Ying was an excellent point of leverage.

"Jie Chen, what are you hesitating for? Do I need to teach you how to deal with an escaped fugitive?"

Jie Chen said coldly, "Although she is a fugitive, she has merits in suppressing bandits. Now that her merits offset her faults, no punishment is needed. If Your Highness wishes to reward her, I am willing."

"You!" The Sixth Prince was at a loss for words. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Something crossed his mind, his gaze swept towards Xiang Ying with a cold smirk.

"Fine, wait until we return to the Capital, in front of my Father, and see how you still defend and indulge her."

Xiang Ying sneered, "Has the Sixth Prince made some mistake? Why isn’t he behaving like a proper Prince, instead choosing to stay amongst us exiled criminals?"

"Could it be that some mishandling has angered the Emperor, and he no longer recognizes you as his son?"

The Sixth Prince, like a dog whose tail had been stepped on, jumped furiously.

Thunder and rage swirled in his narrowed eyes: "Nonsense! How could Father possibly not want me? He simply does not trust you criminals and has asked me to supervise."

Xiang Ying clicked her tongue twice, her disdain more evident and fueling the Sixth Prince’s irritation.

He was about to put Xiang Ying in a difficult position, but Jie Chen spoke up indifferently from the side: "If Your Highness has nothing else, please don’t hinder us here. We are delayed and need to travel tonight towards Bai City."

The Sixth Prince glanced at him sinisterly and left with Xiang Qianqian, swinging his sleeves.

Jie Chen then told Xiang Ying to pack up simply, as they would depart this evening.

As soon as he left, the crowd surrounded Xiang Ying, bombarding her with questions about what had happened along the way.

Xiang Ying mainly spoke of how they had exterminated the fierce bandits, and did not mention anything about Princess Xining.

Just after dealing with the crowd around her, she turned and saw the water bandits standing nearby, hesitating to approach.

Xiang Ying paused.

Lu Feiyi had run off, leaving behind these brothers who were willing to live and die with him.

She approached them and said, "Lu Feiyi has left on his own, and I didn’t see him. If you are here to ask about his whereabouts, my answer is that I don’t know, sorry."

The water bandits’ faces darkened upon hearing this, and they started to cover their heads, complaining in pain.

"The Master said he would never leave us behind, and now he has brought us to Nanyue only to leave on his own?"

"What is this all about! How could the Master do this to us?"

Xiang Ying watched them look at each other helplessly, beginning to worry about their future.

Nanyue was neither their home country nor did it have their families.

She thought for a moment and then suddenly said, "From now on, you can follow me; I will be your Master."

Her voice stood out distinctly amidst the noisy cries and complaints of the people.

Xiang Ying looked at them: "From now on, if I have a piece of meat to eat, you’ll have a bowl of rice. I only have one requirement: from this moment on, everyone must listen to me."

"The things I forbid, you absolutely cannot do—no deceiving, stealing, robbing, or mistreating women and children. If you can do this, follow me. If not, you are free to leave now, and I’ll talk to the Vice General for you."

Dozens of water bandits looked at each other.

Xiang Ying knew they needed to think it over.

"Before we depart this evening, whoever wants to leave, tell me early. There are still two more hours, no rush."

After finishing her words, she went to check the supplies in front of her two horse carriages.

This time, Xiang Ying did not hide it; she openly took the supplies and prepared to embark on the journey, which would be much more convenient than sneaking around and eating in hiding.

Besides, she now had a valid reason, claiming that these were spoils from bandit-suppression. Who could dispute that?

She took out many supplies from the storage space and placed them inside the carriages.

She added a bit more water, some cured meat, and fresh eggs in a large box to prevent them from shaking and bumping.

Additionally, she took out a few sets of silk, planning to make clothes for the children.

The last time she had braided Xiang Xiuxiu’s hair, she realized the children seemed to have gained weight!

Their previous clothes were all tight, especially Xiang Yuanshuo, whose little General belly looked adorably cute when bulged.

After packing the carriages, Xiang Ying entered the storage space again to check on her cartoon characters.

Unexpectedly, she was shocked!

The target of a hundred thousand people had been reached, unlocking the fifteenth and sixteenth floors!

The floors were empty, specifically for hoarding and storing items.

But it increased Xiang Ying’s invisibility duration to forty minutes.

Not only that, but Xiang Ying discovered that her medical room had upgraded again!

This time it included many advanced devices, capable of performing CT scans and even a healing capsule.

As long as one lay inside, 98% of diseases, even cancer, could be cured in this world.

Now, in ancient times, without the bizarre diseases of the apocalypse, treatment was even easier.

Xiang Ying was overjoyed and decided to heavily invest in supplies for the little characters, thanking them for the benefits they brought!

However, as she approached the screen, she saw an astonishing scene.
