Late at night, after Xiao Man finished her cultivation, she clasped her left hand and focused her mind to enter the Treasure Pearl Space. Her physical body went in again. She wandered around for a bit but didn't see the Snake Lord. She picked some more lotus leaves, but this time she couldn't bring them out!
Xiao Man stared at her empty palm and sighed helplessly. 'Looks like the body tempering this morning consumed too much of my Essence, Qi, and Spirit. I'll have to wait for it to recover!'
She then comforted herself. 'It's fine as long as my physical body can enter. Even if I can only take out lotus leaves once a week, that's still incredibly encouraging!'
After quietly taking a bath, Xiao Man fell asleep the moment she lay down on her bed. But in her dreams, she thought she heard Grandma calling out. She quickly opened her eyes and listened carefully. It really was Grandma shouting, "Xiao Man! Xiao Man!"
