6: Adapting to Her New Surroundings
Li Mei wakes up the next morning feeling slightly stronger, her mind clearer from the effects of the mystical fruit she consumed in the previous chapter. Determined to learn more about her surroundings, she decides to explore the small house she now calls home. Her body is still weak, but every step feels steadier than the last.
The house is a modest, rundown structure. She finds an old, battered cooking pot, a few basic utensils, and a storage container with a meager supply of dried herbs and rice. The more she looks, the more she realizes just how poor the previous Li Mei must have been.
