Chapter 228: All of Zhang Shou's Tall Tales Came True

Yu Xian was about to get up and go outside to deal with the trouble when Shui Yuetian said, "Zhi Er, they're too noisy."

The bodyguard on standby turned and headed outside. He cracked his neck, then lashed out with a swift kick that sent the noisy pig-headed man flying in the literal sense. In the blink of an eye, he vanished into the distant sky.

There was a lot of technique behind that kick. If it had been Yu Xian, the pig-headed man would have exploded into a bloody mess. To send someone flying as Zhi Er had without taking their life was genuinely not an easy feat.

Zhi Er executed a few more kicks, sending a pig-headed man flying with each one. In the blink of an eye, none of the pig-headed men remained, and it finally fell quiet again.

Shui Yuetian said, "Fish God, please don't get angry. There's no need to lower yourself to the level of these pig-headed men. Something's wrong with their brains."

She did not deny that she had a favorable impression of Yu Xian. In fact, anyone who had watched the film would probably have a fairly good impression of him. However, the most fundamental reason for that impression was still his strength.

Yu Xian was a genuine Star-rank powerhouse, and an absurdly terrifying one at that. He had advanced to Star rank less than a year after first coming into contact with the supernatural world.

Whenever anyone encountered a genius like that, the same thought would inevitably cross their mind: a rare talent worth investing in. As long as they got on good terms with Yu Xian, they could blink and suddenly find themselves with a Void-rank friend. Blink a few more times, and who knew what rank Yu Xian would have reached by then?

There was a saying that when you're strong, the whole world becomes your friend. Aside from idiots like those pig-headed men, whose brains clearly didn't work very well, most supernatural beings would probably prefer to befriend Yu Xian. Becoming his enemy was far too dangerous.

With the pig-headed men no longer causing trouble, Yu Xian and the rest of them continued sampling the restaurant's specialties. Overall, they tasted awful. They were, without a shadow of a doubt, a culinary abomination.

Yu Xian took a single bite and refused to eat any more. Little Nora, on the other hand, welcomed everything that came his way and thought all of it tasted good. His sense of taste was rather unusual. Perhaps because dragons were his primary food source, he shared a certain similarity with the Dragon Race, in that he could eat food meant for almost any species. If there was truly nothing else to eat, he could even survive by eating dirt.

In the end, none of the food went to waste. Every last bit ended up in Little Nora's stomach.

After the meal, Shui Yuetian invited Yu Xian to stay with the Sea Race for the time being, but Yu Xian declined on the grounds that he still had things to take care of.

They left the restaurant together. After walking for a while, Shui Yuetian took the initiative to say goodbye to Yu Xian, and the group went their separate ways.

Yu Xian led the two little ones through the crowd. Once there were fewer people around, he stopped bothering to hide it and enveloped himself and the two little ones in a bubble. The next second, they vanished on the spot.

Yu Xian, Little Nora, and Little Huang Quan materialized out of thin air, appearing right inside a villa on the Blue Planet.

Nangong Wanwan, who was on her knees wiping the floor with a rag, immediately stood up. "Boss."

Yu Xian nodded. "Mm. Carry on with what you were doing."

He had not been away for particularly long, and Nangong Wanwan had been cleaning the house the entire time, so almost nothing had changed.

Little Nora seized the opportunity to ask, "Big Bro, what is this place?"

Yu Xian dropped onto the sofa and said with a smile, "This is your Big Bro's home. From now on, just treat it as your own home. That's the refrigerator over there, and there's also a cold-storage room over there."

He pointed toward Nangong Wanwan, who had resumed wiping the floor. "If there's anything you want to eat, you can ask her to make it for you."

Little Nora immediately cheered. "Yay! We're home! Then, Big Bro, can I have my own room?"

Yu Xian smiled. "Of course. Wanwan, take Little Nora and Little Huang Quan to choose their rooms."

Nangong Wanwan stood up and placed the rag into the bucket beside her. "Yes, Boss. Young Master, Young Miss, please follow me."

Little Huang Quan looked toward Yu Xian. Yu Xian patted her on the head and smiled. "Go on. This is your home now too, so there's no need to be so reserved."

Little Nora happily followed Nangong Wanwan, shouting excitedly, "I want a big room!"

Yu Xian smiled as he watched the two little ones leave with Nangong Wanwan. Only after a while did he turn to look out the window. He had secretly left quite a few spatial bubbles behind in Crescent Bay, and sure enough, he could now sense those spatial bubbles all the way from the Blue Planet.

This kind of perception was a spatial-type ability. It was somewhat similar to quantum entanglement. The instant he "thought" about them, he could sense the coordinates of the spatial bubbles at a speed even faster than that of light.

Moreover, he could easily distinguish the differences between those coordinates. For example, a bubble placed in the world fragment where the Ancient Cosmic Dragon previously resided felt completely different from one placed on the Blue Planet.

To give an analogy, if all coordinates on the Blue Planet began with the number 1, then the coordinates in the world fragment where the Ancient Cosmic Dragon previously resided would begin with 2, while those in the world of the Supreme Martial Zombie King would begin with 3. However, the coordinates of Crescent Bay also began with 1. Anyone who wasn't brain-dead could easily tell the difference.

Yu Xian looked up at the blue sky and muttered to himself, "Crescent Bay really is in the same universe as the Blue Planet. It's just that Crescent Bay is almost on the opposite side of the universe. That means... space inside the Abyss is extremely chaotic, even stranger than I imagined."

He had entered the Abyss through the Abyssal Rift on the Blue Planet, only to end up in the world fragment of the Ancient Cosmic Dragon. After that, he had traveled through the Abyss for a long time before reaching Crescent Bay.

Considering how far the spacecraft had traveled via spatial jump, they should have long since exceeded the size of the entire universe. Yet after going around in a huge circle, he had somehow returned to his original universe. It was utterly incredible, completely counterintuitive, and contrary to both reason and common sense.

With his limited knowledge, Yu Xian could only conclude that something was fundamentally wrong with the Abyss itself. The space inside it was extremely chaotic, which was why such bizarre phenomena could occur.

Yu Xian did not continue thinking about it. He remembered that there was still a peeping tom hiding somewhere on the Blue Planet. "Right. I need to make some preparations."

He extended a hand. A bubble rapidly expanded from his fingertip and, in the blink of an eye, completely enveloped his 2,000-square-meter Chinese-style villa. Layer after layer of bubbles overlapped one another. He applied the Art of the World Within a Pot to each layer, forming a super barrier with extraordinary defensive power and concealment.

Now, he no longer had to worry about anyone spying on him. But he could still predict that he would probably be making tomorrow's headlines.

Yu Xian lay on the sofa, staring at the ceiling. "Just who is that peeping tom?"

He was certain of two things. First, the peeping tom's understanding of him was actually quite limited, with most of their information coming from news reports. He could understand that from the parts of the film that had been filled in.

Some of it consisted entirely of boasts Zhang Shou had made during interviews. When reporters later asked Yu Xian the same questions, he had been forced to give Zhang Shou some face and admit with a strained smile that all of Zhang Shou's boasting was true. And the peeping tom had actually believed every word of it. So that bastard had taken Zhang Shou's tall tales as genuine and added them to the film.

Clearly, before Yu Xian defeated Edward, this peeping tom had barely known anything about him. They had only started investigating him afterward, and it was probably around then that they had the bright idea of uploading Yu Xian's private life and experiences to Crescent Bay's network to make money.

From this, Yu Xian could infer that the person probably spent very little time on the Blue Planet. Crescent Bay was vastly more prosperous than the Blue Planet, and its supernatural resources were countless times more abundant. The peeping tom would most likely prefer staying in Crescent Bay.

It was even possible that the person had a job in Crescent Bay. That fact alone could eliminate seventy to eighty percent of the people on the Blue Planet.

It left only the supernatural beings who frequently traveled into the Abyss. Compared with searching for a needle in a haystack in Crescent Bay, screening suspects on the Blue Planet would actually be much easier.
