Aromatic Flesh Chapter 77.1

Published at 23rd of May 2023 06:03:35 AM

After Gu MingYue passed out, her spiritual body was actually separated from her physical body and was sucked into this wonderful space. She looked around in awe as she noticed that her consciousness could be extended infinitely within this space, as if her soul was the inseparable body that constitutes this space.

“This is… the space within the ShanHaiZhu?” Gu MingYue glanced at the huge lake nearby, which was so clean and clear that she could see the bottom of the lake clearly, which was covered with semi-white and transparent pebbles that exuded soft and colourful fluorescent lights. In fact, this was the brilliance that was illuminating the entire space. 

╔════════   ★  ════════╗
This is the space within the ShanHaiZhu, that’s the only explanation.
╚════════  ★  ════════╝

The system simply answered Gu MingYue’s question with a strangely tired tone. 

Gu MingYue automatically assumed that the system was still in its repair period. So she gave a tolerant and understanding attitude to its brief and sad explanation. To think that she would need to get used to the upgraded artificial intelligence system’s human-like emotions. 

The interior of ShanHaiZhu’s space seemed to be self-circulating and endless, but she did not see any land where she could plant vegetation here. Also, the space that she was watching right now seemed fundamentally different from the description at the start. 

Why?…

No, it couldn’t be because of the lack of life essences… right?

╔════════   ★  ════════╗
MingYue, bite down on your wrist and drip your blood into the water.
╚════════  ★  ════════╝

After listening to Gu MingYue’s internal conversations, the system that was supposed to hide silently and suppress its indescribable negative emotions, could not help but voice out to help guide the woman in taking claim of the space. 

As a spiritual body, Gu MingYue remained sceptical about whether she would have blood in this form, but since the system had said so, she raised her right wrist to her mouth and took a hard bite. 

As a result, though the skin did not look broken, two rows of deep teeth marks appeared on her wrist, causing Gu MingYue to gasp as she flinched in pain. Quickly after that, a dazzling ray of light flashed as a blueish and glowy liquid gushed out from her skin before dripping onto the surface of the water and sending sparkling ripples everywhere. 

The blood that fell into the water pooled together to form a seed and began to sink. Once the cyan seed touched the bottom of the water, it had taken root quickly and started germinating, before using its rhizomes to penetrate deeply into the soil covered by colourful stones and pebbles. 

Before long, Gu MingYue heard the sound of the seedling breaking through the soil as it grew tall and straight. 

The young sapling grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. First, it grew into a small tree, then the trunk of this tender young tree began to expand as it grew larger and larger, while the top of the tree was filled with luxuriant branches that expanded towards the surroundings. Not long after that, a huge island with a radius of at least several miles was formed under Gu MingYue’s feet. 

The island formed by the green tree was supported by the now-unimaginably huge rhizomes as it floated on the surface of the river. 

Suddenly, the light of life burst out from the mole in the centre of Gu MingYue’s forehead and covered the entire island in bright light. And under the dazzling light, schools of colourful fish appeared in the water, their scales gleamed beautifully as they swam and played. After that, she could hear a distant roar of beasts and the chirping of singing birds that were resting on the huge looming tree. 

She knew instantly that she was the mother that brought life to these living creatures. Everything in the ShanHaiZhu was created and given life from her blood, and together with the nutrients found in the colourful pebbles and stones, it allowed this space to grow and multiply. 

Gu MingYue could not help but sigh in happiness at the sight around her. She could feel the fish in the water, the birds flying in the sky, the animals running around on the land and the joy of life in the lushly growing plants. It was as if all of the emotions of this world were being transmitted through the power of her blood and into her heart. 

Her existence here was like the ultimate god of creation, and everything that entered this world and everything inherent in the space was controlled by her. 

However, here comes the problem. She knew instantly that it was absolutely impossible for such a sky-defying space to have no restrictions or drawbacks, and what she needed now is to confirm what it was. 

╔════════   ★  ════════╗
In order to protect the mission worlds, the ShanHaiZhu cannot be accessed in specific worlds unless there were stimulations that could trigger the usage. In short, the ShanHaiZhu is bound by the inherent rules of specific worlds.
╚════════  ★  ════════╝

This means that the ShanHaiZhu’s availability is limited to task worlds that are not dominated by scientific development. This must be why she was able to access it in this apocalyptic world where abilities and zombies exist. 

After figuring this out, her spiritual body was already a little weak due to a loss of energy. Her thoughts gradually emptied and she felt her consciousness pass through a tunnel-like light before reaching the point where she reconnected with her physical body. And after a short moment of darkness, her body trembled slightly as she opened her eyes. 

“You’re finally awake.”

An enlarged version of Bai JunFei’s face appeared in front of her eyes. 

“How is your body feeling?” Bai JunFei supported the back of Gu MingYue’s neck with his hands and he gently helped her sit up from the sofa while allowing her to lean against his chest.
