Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 738: Chatting and Daily Life

Crunch——!!

There was a dull sound of a door opening and closing. The old professor, who was stirring the freshly brewed tea with a spoon in front of the coffee table, looked at the man in a white suit at the door and smiled.
"Haha, today is really amazing. How come you young people just happen to come to an old man like me one after another?"

"Maybe it's because there's some kind of connection between me and them."

The playwright smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, then sat down on the sofa opposite the old professor in a very familiar manner, glanced at the items hanging on the wall behind him, and said with a chuckle:

"I haven't seen you for thirty years. It seems that you have a lot more collections here, senior?"

"Haha, there's nothing I can do about it. When you get old, that's how it is. When you see something interesting, you want to collect it as a souvenir or something. But you, I haven't seen you for thirty years, you've changed a lot, haven't you?"

The old professor laughed, looked at the playwright in front of him with his seemingly cloudy but extremely deep eyes, and nodded.

"Thank you for the compliment, Senior. I just wandered around a bit and gained some knowledge. On the contrary, it seems that you have made more progress than you did thirty years ago?"

"It's just a drop of water wearing away a stone. It's nothing. Besides, for an old guy like me who doesn't have much to do every day except reading books and teaching students, these things are not that important."

"But you, young man, seem to be going further and further down that path?"

As the old professor spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly. A deep color flashed across his turbid pupils. The figure of the playwright in his pupils gradually distorted and changed, and it looked like millions of different figures overlapping each other.

"I can't do anything. I can't compare to my predecessors and can't do what they did with those guys. I can only resort to this crooked way."

Facing the old professor's pointed words, the playwright just smiled and said indifferently, while glancing at the door behind him, narrowing his eyes slightly, and suddenly asked:

"By the way, what do you think of him, Senior?"

"He is a polite young man. Although he is a little lacking in talent, he has great potential."

"Is that so...it seems that Senior is also optimistic about them. No wonder he gave them the chess set that I gave you."

The playwright heard this, smiled, picked up the tea that appeared in front of him, took a sip, and said:

"By the way, I'm a little curious, which path did he choose when facing you?"

"The opposite of yours."

The old man answered, and the playwright narrowed his eyes and looked down at the tea in front of him. He gently shook the teacup and stared at the vortex on it. After a moment of silence, he suddenly chuckled:
"Oh, I guess so."

The man in the white suit chuckled, and the vortex in the teacup was reflected in his pupils. The vortex of steaming hot air swirled from his pupils and was slowly drawn into the depths of the tea, obscuring the expression in his eyes, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Finally, he slowly raised his head, looked at the old professor in front of him, lowered his eyes, and asked:
"Speaking of which, Senior, can I ask you a question?"

"Just ask."

"Do you believe...in the existence of 'miracles' in this world?"

……

……

Sanctuary paradise, exclusive room.

[Tip: The transmission is completed and the pioneer has returned to the exclusive room]

came back……

The bright starlight fell from the ceiling that simulated the starry sky. Xin Lailai was lying on the bed, staring at the night scene in front of him, and the words he heard from the playwright before leaving the academic sect flashed through his mind.

Should they be careful of the big boss?

Thinking about it carefully, Brother Ritian seemed to have said something similar to Yamu.

Xin Lailai narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the brief encounter with the playwright. After thinking for a while, he opened the contact list and sent a message to Meimu:
……

Xin Lailai: "Boss Meimu, we met the playwright, and he told us to be careful of you."

looks:"……"

Eyebrows: "In a sense, he is right. Do you have any other questions?"

Xin Lailai: "Uh, that's all. Sorry to bother you, Mr. Meimu."

……

As expected, he admitted it...

Xin Lailai looked at the replies on the chat bar and rubbed his temples gently, without showing much surprise on his face.

In fact, if they were before accepting the guidance of the old professor, they would probably not ask so directly, but after experiencing the baptism of the old professor's "game", he is now very sure that the best way to deal with the playwright's words just now is to ask Meimu himself directly without any changes, and the other party will most likely admit it very generously.

As for why he was so sure, he could only say that this was how old bitches communicated with each other.

First of all, even the strongest offenders would never have the guts to joke about the reputation of a top figure. In other words, there is a 99.9% or more chance that the playwright's reminder is serious... or at least in the other party's judgment, Meimu will really do something to them that requires them to be careful.

As for why they dared to ask Meimu so blatantly even though they knew clearly that the statement was true, the reason was even simpler, because there was no point in hiding it, or it was highly likely that Meimu didn't care whether they knew about it or not.

Otherwise, given the other party's level, as long as the playwright didn't want them to know, there would be no chance for him to say this to them, even if there was an old professor with the same status as Meimu standing behind him.

In this case, it would be more practical to be frank with Meimu directly than to rack their brains to make indirect insinuations. The worst result would be that Meimu would just say a few repetitive words to them, and if something really happened, it would most likely be the playwright who would be in trouble, rather than them being implicated.

And if the boss Meimu admitted it openly, it means that this matter is most likely just a trivial part of something the other party intends to do, and it will not have much impact even if others know about it. In that case, they don't need to care too much about it, because it is probably meaningless to care about it.

"Huh, forget it, let's just take a rest first..."

Feeling extremely sleepy, Xin Lailai looked at the communication channel in front of him. After thinking for a while, he rubbed his forehead, turned it off, emptied his mind, and quickly fell asleep.

Although there are still some details that need to be sorted out, the game with the old professor is too brain-consuming, and now they really just want to have a good sleep.

……

……

The next day.

[Hint: This "Burning Soul and Refining Heart" has ended, mental strength +0.5, mental toughness +0.3, mental resistance +1.9] "The previous one was really because the effect of the black maple tea was not fully digested..."

In the exclusive room, Xin Lailai, who performed the Soul-Burning and Heart-Refining Ceremony with Ling Yuzi as the first thing she did after getting up, looked at the greatly reduced effect compared to the first time, and a look of understanding appeared in her eyes.

"What a shame! If our soul strength could be higher, we could just drink black maple tea every day to practice."

"I can't help it. Who told me that the black maple tea sent by Xiaobai's friends is of such good quality?"

Ling Yuzi's somewhat regretful voice sounded, and Xin Lailai's eyes also showed a hint of helplessness.

Just like Ling Yuzi said, now due to the insufficient strength of their souls, the amount of black maple tea they can use can only be controlled to the level of once per return, and they will definitely be unconscious for three or two days after drinking it. As a result, they still dare only drink a cup when returning to the real world, so as to avoid accidentally wasting their precious stay in paradise.

"Let's go, it's time to prepare to go to the Land of All Living Things."

"Ah."

After briefly recovering, Xin Lailai stood up, collected all the soul storage crystals around him, opened the transmission interface, and a glimmer of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

Thanks to the battles with the White Demon and the old captain of the guard, their inspiration for developing various techniques and moves is now overflowing. If they were not busy with so many things, they would have rushed to the Land of All Living Things long ago.

As for why they were in such a hurry to get up and perform the Soul Burning and Heart Refining Ceremony before going there? It was not because of any other reason, but mainly because their soul storage crystals must be full when they come back from the Land of All Living Things, and performing a Soul Burning and Heart Refining Ceremony consumes tens of thousands of soul energy, which is equivalent to the difference of one soul crystal (complete) if rounded off. In this case, they would definitely go there if they could.

Anyway, there is so much soul energy in the land of all living beings, it would be a waste not to collect it, right?
……

Fifteen hours later.

boom--! !

[Transmission completed, Pioneer has returned to the exclusive room]

"Ahem... Ugh! Tsk, it didn't even improve the spatial resistance..."

Inside the room, Xin Lailai, who was thrown against the wall by the dark red beam of light like garbage, spat out a few mouthfuls of mud mixed with Netherworld energy, washed his whole body skillfully, changed into new clothes, looked at the space resistance that had not changed at all, and sighed softly.

"Huh... Never mind. At least the Soul Storage Crystal is full, and the skills I gained this time are pretty good."

After casually complaining in his mind about the Samsara side being too petty, Xin Lailai glanced at the soul storage crystals in the storage space that were filled to the brim with energy, giving them more than 400,000 extra spare soul energies, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Very good, this way, the expenses for the Soul Burning and Heart Refining Ritual for the next period of time will be taken care of.

"Unfortunately, the guy who holds the death is not in the training ground now."

Taking a quick glance at the contact list and looking at the coordinates of someone's exclusive room, a hint of regret flashed across Xin Lailai's eyes.

Although the 15-hour experience in Land of All Living Things still failed to help them solve their intuitive problems, they did gain a lot in terms of techniques and moves.

Not only did they successfully improve the original Entangled Blade·Flowing Slash and Entangled Blade·Tyrant Slash into enhanced versions that used devouring energy to release, they even vaguely found the threshold of a proper space-type slash. If they continue to develop in this trend, after entering the Land of All Living Beings twice more, they will probably be able to create their own "Dimensional Slash" like Dao Ji.

As for the energy of annihilation, since there is no equipment protection mechanism in the Land of All Living Beings, they dare not test to what extent their body protection energy can withstand the enhancement of the energy of annihilation.

After all, this thing causes real, pure damage. If they really get out of hand, blowing themselves half to death is a secondary matter. If they accidentally cause Yuan Mo to fall in level, then they will really have no place to cry.

[Ding~! You have a new message to check, sender: Argo]

……

Argo: "Um... Brother Black Sword, are you free?"

Black Sword: "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Argo: "Nothing... nothing! I just want to invite you and Brother Yamu out for dinner. After all, didn't you say last time that I would treat you when you come back?"

……

Let Bell treat them to a meal?
Xin Lailai looked at the chat content on the communication channel, and recalled the previous time when the three of them had a drink together. After remembering that this was indeed the case, he gave a definite reply on the chat channel.

They had just returned from the Land of All Living Things and were now in a state of exhaustion, so they took the opportunity to take this opportunity to relax.

"Come to think of it, I haven't asked them about the situation there yet. This is a good opportunity to get some information about the Moon Demon."

Xin Lailai thought about it, opened the transmission interface, entered the coordinates sent by Bell, and disappeared directly on the spot.

When Bell invited him, he remembered that the other party seemed to have fought against the Moon Demon of the Samsara Paradise together with Yamu in the previous world. At that time, he did not get any useful information from the White Demon and Randy on the Dark Star. Now that he finally had a chance, he was quite interested in the intelligence of the most mysterious person in the outer echelon of the Samsara Paradise.

……

So, half an hour later.

"Pfft! Is this true? Bell, did you get the girl from the opposite side by picking her up?"

"Haha! What do you think? I told you that Brother Bell is awesome, right? Tsk tsk, this luck with women is beyond my imagination. I was planning to follow the script, but a dominant creature suddenly showed up and affected Brother Bell and the girl named Soul Moon."

"Hey, brother Bell, how does the reincarnation girl taste?"

"Brother Ya...Brother Yamu, please stop joking with me. Miss Hun...Miss Hunyue and I don't have that kind of relationship...!"

"Hey~! Don't be shy? Do you really think that your big brother Yamu is stupid? A man and a woman, alone together in the underground with no one watching over us for seven days and seven nights, and when we came out, the girl's face was as red as a monkey's butt. Hehe, you tell me that nothing happened?"

"That... that's just that Miss Hunyue just happened to be feeling unwell. Brother Yamu, you must have misunderstood. We are really not in that kind of relationship!"

"Hmm? Wait, I have an email here..."

"Uh, Bell, someone asked me to pass this to you. They said Soul Moon asked him to do this."

"This...this is..."

"By the way, he also asked me to ask you if you are interested in female humanoid ancient gods? Their parents and grandparents are all extremely powerful. If you want to know them, he can introduce them to you directly."

"..."

“Hahahaha! Brother Bell, why don’t you join the Church of Pleasure instead? My intuition tells me that you’d be very talented if you became a succubus!”
