Chapter 458: Chapter 458: Space Upgrade (1)_1

Situ Xin simply had no time to care about Fu Xiaoyi’s current thoughts. All of her attention was focused on the book in her hands. As soon as Fu Xiaoyi left, Situ Xin eagerly flipped to the page describing the White Tiger and started reading intently.

Even Tian Jinlei, who was sitting next to Situ Xin and was about to ask her what Fu Xiaoyi had done, swallowed his words upon seeing her engrossed in reading the book. However, Tian Jinlei thought to himself that he needed to keep an eye on Fu Xiaoyi from now on because he could tell that she was no easy pushover.

Indeed, after Fu Xiaoyi had experienced the upheaval in her family, and spent so much time mingling with the princes in the Capital City, even if she had been innocent, she was no longer so.

Situ Xin read the Chapter detailing the habits of the White Tiger with earnest concentration. She read almost word for word, fearing she might miss any crucial information.

"Ah, here it is," she exclaimed when she saw the words "sleepy" on the book. She nearly jumped up in excitement, but after her elation, she continued to read carefully and attentively.

After finishing the section, Situ Xin learned that Baibai’s sleepiness was a necessary phase in its development from a cub to a mature tiger. This stage was also the most perilous in a White Tiger’s development. During this stage, aside from being sleepy, it needed to absorb a tremendous amount of Spiritual Energy. If the Spiritual Energy it absorbed was insufficient, it could lead to developmental failure for the White Tiger, with minor consequences such as a shortened lifespan and halted cultivation level, or in the worst case, it could be life-threatening.

When Situ Xin saw this, her heart, once relieved that she could relax in the future, suddenly started racing. Her eyes fixated on the words "could be life-threatening."

Situ Xin could not wait for her later classes, and quickly stuffed all the books from her desk into her bag, "Tian Jinlei, I have an emergency. Please ask for leave on my behalf." After saying this, without waiting for Tian Jinlei’s reaction, she grabbed her backpack and rushed out of the classroom.

"Hey, hey," When Tian Jinlei came to his senses and was about to call out to Situ Xin, her figure had already vanished at the classroom door.

Lin Shaowei patted Tian Jinlei on the shoulder and said with a laugh, "Brother, the road to pursue the great beauty Situ is full of trials and tribulations. Hang in there. We brothers will cheer you on from behind." To tell the truth, Lin Shaowei and the others were also smitten at first sight of Situ Xin, but they knew their own strengths and had the self-awareness to realize that they were not a match for her, so they let go of that notion.

Since Situ Xin had left school halfway through the day, the car to pick her up hadn’t arrived yet. She had no choice but to hail a taxi and rush home.

"Hey, Baby, why are you back? I thought you had classes this afternoon," old Madam Situ asked in surprise when Situ Xin returned home. Old Master Situ was not there, but old Madam Situ was. Both the Situ and Loo families, from the Old Masters and Old Madams to Old Master Loo, knew Situ Xin’s class schedule very clearly. Therefore, when old Madam Situ saw her beloved granddaughter, who should have been at school, appeared at home, she was astonished.

If it were anyone else, Situ Xin might not have bothered with them and continued with her business, but since it was her grandmother, Situ Xin knew that if she didn’t explain now, her grandmother might later follow her to her room for a clear answer. Therefore, Situ Xin stopped in her tracks and said to old Madam Situ, "Grandma, there’s an emergency. I have to call Mu Li, so I asked for leave and came back." Situ Xin couldn’t mention the Supernatural Space, so she had to lie about contacting Mu Li.

In the Situ and Loo families, although it was not openly discussed that Situ Xin was involved with The Dark Division, those who needed to know were aware. But Situ Xin would never openly talk about The Dark Division; usually, she referred to people everyone knew, like Situ Muli or Xiang Yang.

Upon hearing Situ Xin’s words, old Madam Situ was no longer persistent. "Oh, I see. Then you go upstairs. When it’s time for dinner, grandma will call you."

"Okay, Grandma," Situ Xin turned to go upstairs, secretly making a "YES" gesture in her heart, indicating she had successfully cleared the hurdle.

Situ Xin ran upstairs "thump, thump." Just as her hand touched the doorknob of her room, she froze. The Phoenix Birthmark on her chest began to heat up, starting warm and then escalating continuously to scalding heat.

"Why is this happening?" Bursting into her room, Situ Xin dove inside, while her other hand reached towards the Phoenix Birthmark on her chest. However, before her hand could touch the birthmark, the searing heat caused her to retract her hand quickly.

Situ Xin pulled open her clothes at the chest and looked down at the Phoenix Birthmark, which was now glowing red and burning hot.

Initially focused on the sudden change in her Phoenix Birthmark, she then remembered that it was connected to the "Phoenix Nest." The thought of the "Phoenix Nest" reminded her of Baibai, who was still sleeping in the space.

"This unusual occurrence with the Phoenix Birthmark, could it mean that something has happened in the space? Not good, Baibai is still sleeping in there." Thinking of this, Situ Xin no longer hesitated, intent on entering the Supernatural Space to check if there was a problem, especially to get Baibai out.

Concentrating her attention, Situ Xin tried to enter the space. However, when she attempted to do so, she felt a force blocking her, preventing her from entering the space.

"What’s going on? Why can’t I get in? What’s stopping me from entering the space?" At this moment, Situ Xin could not remain calm, especially when she thought about Baibai still being inside the space.

Although Situ Xin was anxious, she did not lose her reason. Considering that there might be a problem with the "Phoenix Nest," she wondered if the Jade Token that she had mentally bonded with, like the "Phoenix Nest," might be malfunctioning. She tried to connect with it and, unexpectedly, found that the mental Jade Token still existed and responded to her commands.
