Chapter 521: Chapter 521 Even an Immortal Cultivator Needs Seven Hours of Uninterrupted Sleep
Some of it covered the walls. Some covered furniture.
There were even puddles of it in several corners.
"What is this stuff?"
One investigator crouched beside a wall. The liquid appeared clear. It also carried a faint sweet scent.
He frowned.
"It smells fruity."
Another investigator nodded.
"Maybe some kind of expensive perfume?"
"Or cleaning chemical."
The man touched a small amount. His curiosity only increased. He even put it in his mouth to taste.
He couldn’t quite put what this mysterious really was so he scooped a larger amount and tasted it again with no clear comprehension of what it was still.
Nearby, a female detective had been quietly studying the scene from the moment she entered.
Unlike the others, her expression became increasingly strange.
Her eyes moved from the damaged furniture to the walls. Then to the puddles.
Then back to the destroyed furniture. Slowly, a look of realization appeared on her face.
"Oh no."
The investigator looked toward her.
"What?"
The detective remained silent.
The man stood up.
"What is it?"
The others also noticed her reaction.
"You know something?"
The detective sighed. Unfortunately, she did. The clues were becoming painfully obvious.
"What is this liquid?" the investigator asked again. The detective pinched the bridge of her nose.
"You really don’t want to know."
The man frowned.
"Now I definitely want to know."
Several others nodded.
"Tell us."
"Come on."
The detective looked around the room one final time. The destroyed bed. The shattered furniture.
The strange liquid. The week-long sounds. The continuous shaking.
Everything suddenly fit together. Her expression became incredibly awkward.
After a long pause, she finally explained her theory. The room immediately fell silent. Nobody spoke.
Nobody moved. Several investigators simply stared at her. One man’s jaw dropped.
Another looked like he had just discovered the meaning of life.
The investigator who had touched the mysterious liquid slowly looked at his finger.
Then he remembered something. His face turned pale. Very pale.
A few seconds later, he remembered something even worse. He had touched it. Then smelled it.
Then tasted it. The realization hit him like a truck. The room echoed with a furious scream.
"FUUUUUCK!"
The shout was so loud that people outside the suite heard it.
Several investigators burst into laughter. Others nearly collapsed from trying not to laugh.
Meanwhile, the unfortunate investigator stood frozen in place, questioning every decision that had led him to this exact moment.
It was undoubtedly the worst day of his professional career.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng and Ye Jian were already out in the ocean, swimming together beneath the warm sunlight.
The crystal-clear water sparkled like countless diamonds as gentle waves rose and fell around them.
They laughed and splashed each other from time to time, enjoying the rare peace that surrounded them.
The week-long retreat had left both of them feeling relaxed and refreshed.
For seven entire days, they had isolated themselves from the rest of existence, caring about nothing except each other’s company.
It was a luxury that very few people could ever experience.
As for time, Lin Feng was not worried in the slightest.
He was the absolute master of the entire multiverse.
To him, the laws of time and space were no different from toys that could be rearranged whenever he wished.
With a single thought, he could make Earth continue flowing normally while the Azure Heaven Continent remained completely frozen.
The people there would not even notice the passage of time.
Even if thousands of years passed elsewhere, everything on that world would remain exactly as it had been when he left.
He could even create separate timelines where every realm moved at different speeds.
Such a feat would be unimaginable to ordinary cultivators, yet for Lin Feng it required no effort at all.
After spending some time swimming, the two eventually returned to shore.
Water droplets glistened on their bodies as they walked across the golden sand.
The ocean breeze felt refreshing against their skin while the sound of crashing waves created a soothing rhythm in the background.
Lin Feng casually waved his hand and their clothes instantly became dry and spotless.
Ye Jian looked at him and smiled.
No matter how many times she witnessed his abilities, she still found them unbelievable.
The two then began walking along the beach hand in hand.
Their footprints were left behind on the sand only to be erased moments later by the incoming tide.
Seagulls flew overhead while the endless ocean stretched toward the horizon.
From a distance, they looked exactly like a young couple enjoying their honeymoon.
And in truth, that description was not far from reality.
A noticeable blush remained on Ye Jian’s beautiful face.
Every time she recalled the events of the past week, her heart began beating faster.
Everything had happened so quickly.
Only a short time ago, she had been living her ordinary life as a cultivator.
Day after day had been spent pursuing greater strength, overcoming obstacles, and surviving in a dangerous world where the strong ruled over the weak.
Now she was traveling the multiverse with a man who possessed power beyond imagination.
The contrast was so great that it sometimes felt like a dream.
"The past week has been incredible," she softly admitted.
Lin Feng smiled.
"I’m glad you enjoyed it."
Ye Jian rolled her eyes.
"Enjoyed it? That is an understatement."
Her words made Lin Feng laugh. The blush on her face deepened even further.
Despite being over a hundred years old, she felt more embarrassed now than she had during her entire life.
The past week had contained more excitement, happiness, and unforgettable memories than the previous century combined.
There was truly no comparison.
For over a hundred years, her life had revolved around cultivation.
Every day had followed the same routine. Train. Meditate. Cultivate. Fight. Survive. Repeat.
She had grown stronger, but strength alone had never brought genuine happiness.
Now everything was different.
For the first time, she felt like she was truly living rather than merely existing.
