Firefly Journey

Chapter 359, Part 2 (3)

A lonely castle stands in the wilderness, bathed in the deep moonlight. The wind sweeps across the grass, and the wild grasses bow neatly to one side.

The castle is in a traditional European style, and even the windows have been deliberately made to look more aged.

Wind Chime walked over and had a very low opinion of the building. "What? It's nothing compared to Sabrina's house."

Once people get used to seeing higher and more beautiful scenery, then those things that were once amazing will only become rotten fish and shrimp.

The castle owner is hosting a banquet tonight, and all the guests are social elites; invitations are required for entry.

Diana was a student, not a socialite, so she couldn't get an invitation to the banquet, but she didn't plan to go in when there were many people.

In the latter half of the night, the guests either left or got tired, and the noisy atmosphere quieted down.

Fengling put away a pinyin dictionary—having decided to study in Daxia, she naturally needed to learn the language there.

The wind chimes moved slowly until they reached the foot of the castle.

She hummed a lullaby in Pema, and the castle gatekeeper, mesmerized, remained unmoved by her entry.

The wind chimes swaggered into the castle.

The door to the largest bedroom in the castle opened gently, and a man sitting on the edge of the bed covered his face with his hands, saying in a tired tone, "I've already eaten enough, please take it, thank you."

The wind chime closed the door behind her.

“Mr. De Rossi, I’d like to speak with you.”

A calm, girlish voice came from behind her, and the vampire De Rossi immediately turned around warily, only to see the blonde, blue-eyed Wind Chime.

Wind Chime's appearance on Earth wasn't much different from that of the Pangaea; she also had long, golden hair. The only difference was that her eye color had changed.

Xu Penglong has blue eyes, while Diana has green ones.

As a vampire who has lived for hundreds of years, De Rossi has his own way of surviving. The fact that he could enter the bedroom so silently indicates that the person before him is extraordinary, a particularly powerful cultivator.

"Senior, is there something you need?"

That's right, De Rossi's survival strategy is to admit defeat.

In De Rossi's conjecture, the young girl's appearance was just a disguise; who knew what she really looked like? A young girl would never have the ability to enter his bedroom so easily!

Upon hearing the title "senior," Fengling was taken aback, gaining a clear understanding of the vampire's audacity.

She leaned against the door, feigning mystery, and said, "Why don't you guess why I came to see you?"

"Huh?" De Rossi immediately felt psychological pressure.

What's with this old witch? Is she testing me? If my answer doesn't meet her expectations, is she going to kill me on the spot? But I don't even know her...

After thinking for a few seconds, De Rossi said, "I cannot fathom your thoughts, senior. Please enlighten me."

Without any hesitation, Feng Ling asked, "What realm are you in?"

De Rossi immediately replied, "Kaiyang Realm."

“Kaiyang?” Fengling frowned. “It sounds very Eastern.”

Now it was De Rossi's turn to be puzzled. The cultivation levels on Earth are interconnected, and there is no such thing as different names for different regions.

"Is there a problem?" De Rossi asked.

Feng Ling smiled and said, "Then guess what realm I'm at?"

After returning to Earth, Fengling reacted exactly like Lin Yuanran, confirming the existence of extraordinary powers in the world, but she had no idea how far they had developed.

After making inquiries from various sources, she learned that the owner of the castle was an extraordinary being who wanted to understand Earth's cultivation system.

De Rossi said tremblingly, "Judging from your aura, you should be at the Jade Pool Realm..."

"Oh, it seems you know what's good for you."

De Rossi was baffled, thinking to herself, "Am I being sensible? Well, I guess I was right, otherwise she should be angry."

A powerful expert at the Jade Pool Realm has come to his territory. He can't think of any other reason than to kill and plunder. De Rossi is terrified and wants to pay money to avoid trouble.

Fengling never imagined that she would gain a large number of treasures just by coming to inquire about information.

De Rossi took the initiative to curry favor with her, reluctantly giving Fengling many nice things in order to please her and hope that she would not kill him.

He had made up his mind that as soon as the wind chimes left, he would move immediately to avoid being frequently extorted in the future.

By subtly probing with the wind chimes, I obtained the answer I wanted, and also gained something unexpected.

Having learned enough, Fengling hummed a song and turned to leave.

De Rossi's expression was grave. He had disguised himself so well, yet he had still been discovered by someone in a high position. He was just lucky this time; the old witch was after money and wouldn't kill him. Next time, things might be different.

We need to move right away!

But where should we move to?

California is definitely not safe anymore, no, the whole of the United States is not safe.

Why don't we go abroad instead and go to neighboring Canada?

Or travel across the ocean to Europe or Africa!

No, no, no, wherever there are people, there will be conflict. These places aren't safe either. Forget it, I'll just go to Antarctica and be neighbors with the penguins.

No one would go to such a freezing place to rob and plunder.

Without hesitation, De Rossi packed his bags that very night and disappeared the next day.

Wind Chime had no idea that simply going out to gather information had frightened a hundred-year-old vampire so much that he ran to Antarctica.

Even if I knew, I wouldn't feel guilty. I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren chose to commit suicide, so who can I blame?

……

……

The day after returning to Hangzhou University from Songhua Mountain, Chi Liuzi fulfilled her promise and uploaded the Fusion Technique to the group file.

Following the cultivation methods described inside, Lin Yuanran was indeed able to merge the magical power he brought back from the ancient continent with the magical power of Earth, thus continuing his cultivation.

This integration process took him about a week.

With the opportunity to continue cultivating, Lin Yuanran had many more ideas.

For him, his current studies are meaningless. For someone who cultivates immortality to study science is extremely disrespectful to both science and cultivation.

So he decided to come up with a way to escape unscathed.

He didn't want to involve his parents; he wanted them to believe that their son was doing well in college and that nothing had happened.

To this end, Lin Yuanran specifically consulted the experts in the group and obtained the secret technique of puppet making.

The price he paid was that he spent half of his money on imported dog food at the supermarket, then took a taxi to the nearest Taoist temple and burned a large bag of dog food in front of the Taoist priests…

While the fire was burning, the Taoist priest on duty asked him, "Shouldn't the Celestial Dog like to eat bones?"

Lin Yuanran said, "Xiaotianquan also keeps up with the times. It's normal for it to like eating dog food. I'm very sure of that."

How could I not be sure? Erlang Shen taught him the art of puppetry, using puppets to continue his studies at school in his place, and his reward was dog food.

The way to transport dog food to the celestial realm is... to burn it.

Of course, Taoists call this a sacrifice.

Lin Yuanran's sense of shame made him quickly leave the temple.

The Taoist priest on duty muttered to himself, "That's true. If you don't burn dog food... the bones won't even burn properly! Young people these days really know how to do things scientifically and believe in the gods."

It seems this temple also needs to adapt to the times and undergo some reforms.
