Qin Xue raised her brows and smiled, 'This time he won't come out so soon,' she thought.
Indeed, Qin Xue purposely dressed this way--all to gain access to the space dimension.
Glancing towards the direction of the restroom, Qin Xue walked into the kitchen, fetched the chicken soup, and brought it into the space dimension.
As soon she entered, Xue Ling appeared before her.
"Master, you're here. What food did you bring me? It smells delicious." Xue Ling licked his lips, vaguely human-like.
But wasn't Xue Ling human-like already?
"Yes, I've brought you chicken soup. Go ahead, drink up." Qin Xue placed the soup in the same bowl Xue Ling had used to eat the bamboo rat.
"Drink this while I plant some herbs," Qin Xue told Xue Ling, leaving him to enjoy the soup alone. She then got to work planting herbs, and also seeds from the oranges she'd saved from earlier.
It was late in the day before she finished. Qin Xue smiled with satisfaction, her long-known task finally complete.
