Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1538: Chapter 1538: Chen Xiaorui Is Taken Away

Tan Shaoting was happier to hear others praise his wife than to receive praise himself.

His Divine Sense had already observed the situation ahead, and he recognized Li Shaobai as someone interested in his wife.

Now was a perfect time to deal with him.

Li Shaobai was dragging Chen Xiaorui along the entire way, and this woman was very uncooperative.

If it weren’t for her usefulness, he wouldn’t waste his time dealing with her.

Since they were close to the entrance of the Small Thousand World, and not within sect territory, Li Shaobai relaxed a lot.

The two of them just followed along behind them.

Tan Shaoting looked at Chen Xiaorui, remaining emotionally steady. If there was a chance to save her, he would definitely do it.

That day, Chen Xiaorui’s fierce resistance infuriated Li Shaobai. After stopping, he coldly sneered at the woman bound by the Immortal Binding Rope, “You better behave. Otherwise, things won’t go smoothly for you.”

Chen Xiaorui still didn’t understand the issues with her own body.

Even though she had always been watched over, her cultivation resources were never cut off over the years.

With ample Spiritual Energy, she could focus on her cultivation, surprisingly reaching the Late-stage Foundation Establishment. She was very pleased with her cultivation speed.

Though confined, having cultivation resources and an accelerated pace was quite satisfactory, and she was quite willing to remain in the Xuantian Sect.

Suddenly, she was taken away for no reason by someone entirely unknown to her, presumably a high-level cultivator.

She wasn’t foolish. A high-level cultivator didn’t kill her but brought her along, indicating a purpose for her.

They were now far from the sect; she needed to figure out how to rescue herself. This couldn’t continue.

“What are your intentions for taking me?”

Li Shaobai snorted, not really knowing what use this ordinary woman could be.

With just a day left to reach the entrance, he didn’t have time to dawdle with her. A spell cast would make her obedient.

The two continued following behind them; though they could rescue Chen Xiaorui now, they wanted to know why Li Shaobai took her.

The Deputy Sect Leader wanted them to check out Bai Ai Realm, as the annual reports and tributes hadn’t slacked, so what was the situation?

Su Yuanyuan and her two children had noticed Li Shaobai ahead.

“Mom, are we going to Bai Ai?”

“Most likely. Your dad and his partner are probably following invisibly behind us; let’s go down and turn invisible too.”

The three of them arrived beside Tan Shaoting, reuniting as a family.

Given that Li Shaobai was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, they didn’t use sound transmissions, just followed from a distance.

When Li Shaobai reached the entrance of Bai Ai, it turned out to be another small city.

Seeing him brazenly bringing Chen Xiaorui inside suggested cooperation there.

Once all five entered, seeing Li Shaobai not stopping but proceeding directly to the Array location.

They also had tokens for the Bai Ai entrance and followed him into the Array.

Li Shaobai frowned, having sensed someone following into the Array, but his Divine Sense couldn’t find them?

The powerful Divine Sense of a Nascent Soul Cultivator made him confident it was just a mistake.

When the Array activated, after about a cup of tea’s time, they emerged in Bai Ai.

They felt slightly unadapted here, primarily due to the decreased Spiritual Energy.

Tan Shaoting knew Bai Ai had been contributing steadily, with considerable Spirit Stone numbers, so how could Spiritual Energy be so lacking? Had the Spirit Stones been mined out? Impossible.

Li Shaobai released an exceptionally luxurious-looking Spirit Boat, tossing Chen Xiaorui onto it.

It was clear he disliked Chen Xiaorui, implying he was delivering her to someone else.

Su Yuanyuan thought Li Shaobai was truly unaware of Chen Xiaorui’s unique traits.

Following him and observing Bai Ai Realm below, everything seemed quite normal with no abnormalities found.

After flying for five days, they reached the largest city they’d seen in those days.

All five entered the city, where the cultivators’ levels were slightly higher than outside.

Li Shaobai entered the City Lord Mansion, where the Array Plate belonged to him.

Su Yuanyuan found a location. Taking the four of them, entered the Array, just a Fifth-rank Array Plate, breaking it could alert Li Shaobai.

The City Lord Mansion was quite elegant, with significantly denser Spiritual Energy inside.

Divine Sense swept through, discovering Li Shaobai had already thrown Chen Xiaorui into a basement room.

“Senior Sister Su, could you rescue Chen Xiaorui?”

Su Yuanyuan was reluctant but didn’t want her husband and son to save that woman.

“Rescue her now? Let’s wait and see who wants Chen Xiaorui brought over.”

Sun Qizheng nodded, “Alright, let’s take a look.”

He went to the basement room, while Tan Shaoting and Su Yuanyuan approached Li Shaobai. Qi Hao and Qi Xuan waited outside.

Su Yuanyuan understood Li Shaobai’s intentions.

He truly didn’t know about Chen Xiaorui’s physique and just thought she was a female cultivator who made a mistake.

Whoever wanted Chen Xiaorui would come by themselves.

After Li Shaobai left, Tan Shaoting followed.

Su Yuanyuan inspected the City Lord Mansion, finding nothing unusual, only a few women in the back, Li Shaobai’s concubines.

Living like an emperor, quite a happy life.

Nothing unusual at the back, with no traces of Demon Cultivators sensed.

Li Shaobai likely wasn’t in contact with Demon Cultivators; perhaps someone else was.

We shall wait, someone will come.

Upon exiting the city, Li Shaobai entered a mountain cave in the back mountain.

Regrettably, he questioned why he did something against his sect.

Being an orphan, he found stability when the sect took him in.

Cultivation-wise, he had a smooth journey and a place within the sect.

After arriving here, reluctance to cultivate slowly emerged, but the sect provided many good things. Additionally, thoughts of Su Yuanyuan lingered.

Upon reaching Bai Ai, his mindset altered, living like an emperor among the Three Major Families satisfied his vanity greatly.

These events made him feel guilty, leading him to seek peace here.

Su Yuanyuan found the basement room, seeing Chen Xiaorui still unconscious.

“Senior Sister Su, have you discovered anything?”

“Li Shaobai left, and Tan Shaoting followed. We can only wait here.”

“Senior Sister Su, I have a puppet; shall we hide Chen Xiaorui?”
