Today was a long-awaited rest day.
Feng Zexuan spent the entire morning tucked inside her portable space, finally relaxing.
On the TV, Howl’s Moving Castle was playing. She had watched it countless times, but still found it fascinating.
“Walking in the sky… so romantic! This BGM is basically engraved in my DNA…”
“Sob sob, so cute!! Howl is sensitive, fragile, and a little vain—he’s exactly my type!”
Feng Zexuan rolled around on the sofa, hugging a plush pillow.
“Sophie is so gentle! So brave!”
“Howl is my first love!! Black-haired Howl especially has such a youthful vibe!”
The system finally couldn’t hold back:
【Host, you’re calling an anime character your first love? What kind of cross-dimensional romance is this?】
“Why not? Anyone who makes my heart race counts!”
She answered matter-of-factly.
【Fine, fine, you’re absolutely right.】
“Blond hair! And that sexy voice!”
“Ahhh! I’m dead!”
She excitedly bounced on the sofa, nearly kicking over a box of fried chicken.
The system sighed:
【…Such a fangirl.】
【If those ministers in court saw you like this, they’d probably question reality itself.】
“Hmph! I can do whatever I want in private!”
When she got tired of watching, Feng Zexuan lay flat on the sofa, limbs spread out, feet resting on the coffee table like a salted fish.
“Ahhh~ holidays are the best!”
“I wish it could always be like this~”
She stretched lazily, eyes half-closed in comfort.
The system casually spoke up:
【Host, your brother hasn’t entered the space since his legs healed. Does he think it’s too small?】
Feng Zexuan thought for a moment.
“Probably just giving me some private space.”
In reality, Feng Zexuan’s brother, Feng Zekai, simply hadn’t come back because last time he was deeply traumatized by her reading materials.
Things like The Tyrant Prince’s Little Wife, The General’s Wife is Too Demonic…
Those spicy and dramatic plots had left this upright gentleman blushing and panicking, afraid of being “corrupted” again.
The system suddenly suggested:
【Host, why not upgrade the space?】
【After upgrading, the house size will increase from 30㎡ to 150㎡, turning from a one-bedroom layout into three bedrooms, one living room, and two bathrooms.】
【And… you’ll even be able to duplicate one for your brother!】
Feng Zexuan instantly sat up.
“What?! It can do that?!”
“If my brother has his own room, doesn’t that mean I won’t see him anymore?”
【Yes, but you can visit each other anytime. Just open the door and you’ll arrive.】
Feng Zexuan looked confused.
“No, that doesn’t make sense! Opening the door should lead to grassland!”
The system replied:
【Didn’t you just watch Howl’s Moving Castle? After upgrading, there’s a teleportation dial near the door.】
【Turn it and you can switch locations. Future upgrades unlock even more destinations.】
Her eyes immediately lit up.
“Oh my god! Isn’t that basically the dream portal door?!”
“System, you really know how to tempt me.”
【Hahaha, so what are you waiting for? Upgrade it!】
“Fine. How many melon points?”
【Not much~ just 3 million melon value~】
Feng Zexuan nearly choked on her fried chicken, quickly gulping down cola.
“WHAT?! That’s so expensive! I only have a little over 3 million total!”
【It’s okay~ you can earn more by eating gossip!】
She thought about it.
Normally, even royal-level shocking gossip only gives around 3,000 melon points.
But if her intervention helps or even saves lives, the rewards multiply dramatically.
Last time at Yanmen Pass, saving over ten lives directly earned her 2 million melon value.
So in the future, she shouldn’t just enjoy gossip—
She should go for the big, dangerous, life-impacting scandals.
That way, she could both consume gossip and save people.
“Alright! Upgrade!”
The moment she said it, 3 million melon value was deducted, leaving her with 150,000.
The next second—
The entire room began to shake violently.
Walls twisted, floors reshaped, ceilings rose.
Feng Zexuan watched in dizziness as the space was completely rebuilt by some mysterious force.
【Oh my god! This special effect is better than Hollywood movies!】
The living room expanded more than fourfold, turning from a small cozy space into a luxurious hall.
The tiny kitchen transformed into an open-concept gourmet kitchen, fully equipped with modern appliances.
Two additional bedrooms appeared, along with a study and a gym.
The balcony expanded into two—one facing east, the other south.
Most astonishingly, the entire interior style was upgraded.
The old rental-apartment look was replaced with a light luxury aesthetic.
Warm wooden floors, soft beige-white walls, and gentle ambient lighting.
A cloud-like beige fabric sofa gave the entire space an elegant, refined feel.
Feng Zexuan was stunned.
“Holy crap… this was worth every single point!”
She ran around like a kid who just got a new toy, inspecting every corner.
Massage bathtub, treadmill, automatic bookshelf…
The system proudly asked:
【So, host, satisfied with the upgrade?】
“More than satisfied! This is my dream home!”
She rolled on the clean carpet in the living room.
【System, can only two people enter this space now?】
【Yes. If you get married in the future, you can transfer your brother’s permission to your husband.】
“Haha, we’ll see about that!”
She had no intention of getting married anytime soon.
Living alone was great.
Why get married? Freedom is better.
She opened the space management panel and selected “clone,” assigning her brother as the owner of the duplicate room.
【Cloning complete! Feng Zekai’s exclusive room has been created!】
That afternoon, she dragged her brother into the space.
“Little sister, today you suddenly—”
Feng Zekai stopped mid-sentence.
He froze.
The space he remembered was completely different.
It had transformed from a refined courtyard-like space into something like a paradise realm.
“Little sister… this is…?”
He rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had walked into the wrong place.
Feng Zexuan proudly placed her hands on her hips.
“Surprised? Shocked?”
Feng Zekai was too stunned to speak.
The change was far too extreme!
Seeing his reaction, she felt extremely satisfied. This was exactly the effect she wanted.
She grabbed his sleeve and began showing him around.
“Come on, brother! I’ll show you the new house!”
“This is the living room— the sofa can fit six people lying down!”
“This is the kitchen— you can cook anything here! There’s even an automatic dishwasher!”
“This is the gym— you can come exercise and keep your physique in shape!”
“This is the study— lots of books inside. I’m sure you’ll like it!”
Feng Zekai followed her the entire way, his heart filled with warmth.
Every place she introduced, she would say, “Brother can…”
It was clear she had thought of him in every detail.
“You really put a lot of thought into this. It’s spacious and comfortable.”
He sincerely praised.
“As long as you like it!”
Feng Zexuan was delighted.
Finally, she brought him to the entrance and pointed at a beautifully designed rotating dial beside the door.
“Brother, last surprise!”
