Carrying My Sugar Daddy Through the Apocalypse – CH4

Chapter 4: Space Reports for Duty (1)

After hanging up the video call with Zhuang Mingxu, Lu Weiyi drank a glass of juice and looked at the remaining pile of breakfast on the table.

Having experienced the apocalypse, Lu Weiyi suddenly felt a sense of wastefulness.

He wanted to bring some for Zhuang Mingxu to try, especially the soy milk and small steamed buns, which were his favorite.

The moment his outstretched hand touched the steamer, the things in front of him vanished from sight.

Lu Weiyi froze for a moment. His first reaction was to quickly spread out his mental power.

Without looking, everything around him was imprinted in his mind. At this moment, he realized that the mental ability he had awakened in the apocalypse was still there.

It had just regressed to the initial stage.

Compared to other people’s painful awakenings, this wasn’t bad, Lu Weiyi comforted himself.

Not sensing any suspicious aura, Lu Weiyi seemed to realize something. He concentrated for a moment, and suddenly the scene before him changed.

A small courtyard with a fence, a thatched cottage, a peach tree in the yard bearing several large peaches that looked particularly tempting, a table and a stool under the tree made of rough stone, and a well a few steps away, bubbling like a hot spring. Approaching it, however, he could feel a clear, cold air, like a small stream on a winter morning.

He could see the entire surroundings at a glance. Outside the courtyard was a vast emptiness, and further away was a white expanse with no end in sight.

If one ignored the uneven cracks on the ground that looked like roads after an earthquake, it had a bit of a secluded paradise feel.

Lu Weiyi stood at the entrance of the small courtyard, looked around, and saw no signs of life. He had only taken two steps into the courtyard when he saw the fence rapidly dissipate at a visible speed. In just an instant, even the thatched cottage turned into a wisp of flying ash, scattering in the air, leaving only a faint trace on the ground where it had been.

Lu Weiyi was startled and stood there for a long time, unable to figure out the reason for the sudden disappearance. He then turned his attention to the only thing that could be considered alive – the peach tree.

He tentatively took a few steps and, seeing no other changes, carefully reached out and touched the tree trunk with his finger. The real tactile sensation had just made him breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the table and stools under the tree slowly turn into a pile of lime, the scene resembling traces left by time’s erosion.

The circular space was about a hundred square meters, and he could see it all at a glance. The middle was divided into two equal halves by a curve. The other half was so dark that he could only see a rough outline.

Lu Weiyi approached, but an invisible barrier blocked his way. He couldn’t pass through, but his mental power could. Unlike the courtyard and peach tree on this side, the other side had a bare well that looked quite frightening in the darkness, and the cage of buns that had disappeared.

Thanks to having a jade pendant space in his previous life, the moment Lu Weiyi saw the cage of buns, he immediately looked down at his body. As expected, a tattoo-like pattern appeared below his navel. Unlike the teardrop-shaped green mark in his previous life, this time it was a white jade-like circular shape covered in mottled cracks. Upon closer inspection, he could faintly discern yin and yang patterns, similar to the layout of this place.

Yin and yang patterns…

Lu Weiyi was stunned and reached for his waist, only to find the waist cord remaining, and the Taiji yin-yang protective jade pendant was gone.

That jade pendant was a gift from Zhuang Mingxu when he was twenty years old.

That year, Lu Weiyi always inexplicably encountered various problems. The materialist Zhuang Mingxu, after repeated investigations all pointed to accidents, began to believe in superstitions. He spent all the net profit of his newly established company and even mortgaged several properties to raise enough money for the auction of this jade pendant, which was said to be a protective amulet of King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty, and bought it to give to Lu Weiyi.

He didn’t know if it had any protective effect, but his all-out effort made everyone around them realize Lu Weiyi’s importance to Zhuang Mingxu, and no one ever treated Lu Weiyi with that kind of dismissive gaze again.

After the apocalypse, a jade pendant space appeared. At that time, Zhuang Mingxu had even asked him to drip blood on it, but nothing happened. Was this protecting his life after his death?

Unable to describe his feelings, Lu Weiyi looked around the jade pendant space, which seemed to have shattered and caused the earthquake-like appearance, and was speechless for a moment.

Jade pendant spaces were not common in the apocalypse, but they weren’t unheard of either. As far as Lu Weiyi knew, Ji Jin’s mother, Jiang Fu, had a jade pendant that became a portable space after accidentally getting blood on it. Ironically, that jade pendant originally belonged to Lu Weiyi’s mother – it was a family heirloom of the Ji family.

Moreover, later on, Zhuang Mingxu also obtained a small one and secretly stored some supplies for him. Therefore, Lu Weiyi wasn’t too surprised by the sudden appearance of this space.

But he had never heard of any portable jade pendant that could let people in, and… Lu Weiyi looked speechlessly at the peach-bearing tree and the clear well beneath it. This wasn’t just a portable space; it was purely a portable small world.
