Alien Hotel.

Chapter 449 A Brief Calm and a Triumph
Having returned from the chaotic depths of death, Yu Sheng opened his eyes in the captain's cabin of the Otherworld Hotel. However, he did not immediately return to the bridge to reunite with the others. Instead, he dimmed the lights in the room, sat in a chair, and emptied his mind, savoring the moment of tranquility in the dim light.

The newborn body was strong and energetic, but it had just experienced a crisis that spanned the stars. The fatigue accumulated in its subconscious could not be solved by a single resurrection. In addition, many things learned during its contact with the celestial bodies were still swirling in its mind. Yu Sheng felt that his head was in a mess and he needed some time to sort out his thoughts.

He rested with his eyes closed in the dim light for a while before suddenly hearing a slight sliding sound from the cabin door, followed by barely perceptible footsteps approaching. Opening his eyes, he saw a pair of bright, golden-red eyes staring at him in the darkness—noticing he'd been discovered, the eyes curved slightly, and the large, furry ears twitched in front of him. The fox girl let out a silly laugh: "Hehe..."

"If it weren't for my sharp ears, I would have been startled if I opened my eyes," Yu Sheng sighed, smiling as he reached out and ruffled the downy hair behind those ears. "How come you walk so quietly?"

The raccoon squatted down on the floor next to it, tilting its head back happily: "I'm not wearing shoes~"

Yu Sheng: "..."

Very reasonable.

In the dim light, a large, fluffy tail silently draped over and rubbed against Yu Sheng's hand. Hu Li looked up and said, "Eileen said you're 'back,' but we didn't see you on the bridge, so she sent me here to look for you. Why didn't you go over there, my benefactor?"

"Take a break and clear your head—so much has happened lately," Yu Sheng said, finding a comfortable position in his chair and casually stroking the fox's tail. Although his resting with his eyes closed had been interrupted, the warm, lazy fox squatting beside him wasn't noisy at all; instead, it created a uniquely relaxing atmosphere. This made him subconsciously sigh, "...Furry is a good thing."

Hu Li, still crouching, moved closer to Yu Sheng. She didn't understand what her benefactor meant by the last sentence, but she still happily squinted her eyes and said, "Well, then let's rest for a while."

So the two of them stood there in the dark for a while, lost in thought. Yu Sheng was still thinking about the Dark Angel, while Hu Li seemed to be thinking about something else, though she looked to be in a good mood, her bright eyes looking around. After a while, Yu Sheng suddenly broke the silence: "Hu Li."

"Ok?"

Do you still remember that eye in the valley that covered the sky?

The fox tail in my hand tightened slightly, and the fur stood on end a little, but it calmed down almost instantly.

“I remember,” the fox-girl nodded, then snuggled closer to Yu Sheng, this time leaning right against his leg. “I heard the Special Operations Bureau has already given Him a name, called the World Watcher, or the World Watcher Angel.”

After thinking for a moment, Yu Sheng said very seriously, "Next time we meet, we shouldn't have to hide anymore."

Hu Li raised her head and stared wide-eyed at Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng didn't say anything, but reached out and rubbed the fur behind the fox's ears again. After a while, he muttered softly, "Your benefactor is now a real expert at fighting angels."

Hu Li stared intently at him and said very seriously, "But if you can't beat them, you still have to run. That eye is terrifying."

“Yes, if you can’t beat them, you have to run away,” Yu Sheng couldn’t help but laugh as he looked at the serious-looking fox girl. He then exhaled a deep breath and stood up from his chair. “Alright, you’ve rested enough. Go show your face on the bridge and then it’s time to meet up with Yuan Ling and Yuan Hao—we still have a lot of things to do.”

As he spoke, he opened a door leading to the bridge, and Hu Li quickly took his shoes out of his tail and put them on. Then the two of them went through the door together.

The next moment, as soon as Yu Sheng stood firmly on the bridge, he felt a gust of wind rush past his ears. Before he could turn his head, he heard a loud, boisterous voice coming from afar: "Yu Sheng! You're finally back!"

Without turning his head, Yu Sheng easily caught the rushing Eileen with a swift movement, then carried the waving little doll towards the captain's seat. Eileen, seemingly unbothered by his one-handed carrying, was clearly in a great mood, continuing to chatter away as she was being dragged along.
"Hey Yu Sheng, you have no idea how lively it was just now! The Taixu Ling Shu fleet was flying around in orbit like a bustling market, all rushing to salvage those crystal fragments. Old Man Yuan Ling kept sending messages, and I even had C-Cut turn on the listening channel. The fleet's public channel was as noisy as the vegetable market near our house. By the way, it's been so long since we've been back to Wutong Road. You promised to take me shopping last time... How about you buy me a cell phone, or a smartwatch? I've wanted one for ages. Even that silly fox has a cell phone, she can't even play a simple game like Candy Crush... What was that stellar bloom at the end? Did you do it? It was spectacular! Even more spectacular than the one at Ankaela last time. Yu Sheng, why aren't you saying anything?" "Did you give me a chance to speak? All I hear is your babbling," Yu Sheng said, glancing at the little thing in his hand with a wry smile. He casually placed her on the armrest of the chair, then turned on the communicator in front of him and sent a message to "Tai'a": "I'm rested. We'll meet at Thousand Peaks Spirit Mountain—the Otherworldly Inn will land at the same spot as before. I have a lot of information about the origin of the 'Star Derivative Body' and Yun Qingzi's final situation."

Eileen sat blankly on the armrest of the chair, only looking up after Yu Sheng sent the message. She started babbling again: "You're done? Listen to me, I'm not finished yet. My nephew just sent a message saying he's panicking at 66 Wutong Road. He opened the door and it's still Mo City. The fighting in the city is over, but everywhere is chaotic. The Mo family is running around putting out fires and rescuing people. There are people running around like mad in the streets, some even naked in the sky, and he saw two immortals fighting on an overpass, both saying the other had fallen into demonic ways. They were fighting until their heads were bleeding—and then Mo Ran and his men subdued them… My nephew asked when he'd be picked up, or if he could move the door to 66 Wutong Road back to Qianfeng Lingshan, I told him to go stay in the valley…"

Once the little doll started chattering away, it wouldn't stop. Yu Sheng's mind, which had finally managed to calm down in the room, was immediately thrown into turmoil again by this noisy little thing. But after a moment of helplessness, he just smiled and sighed, and as usual, put Eileen on his shoulder, letting her continue to chatter in his ear.

I'm used to it anyway, I'll just treat it as background music in my life...

A moment later, the Otherworldly Inn returned to the surface of the void and landed again in the clouds and mist of Thousand Peaks Spirit Mountain.

In front of the main hall of Queyun Palace.

Master Yuanling had already returned to the mountain gate. Upon seeing Yu Sheng and his group riding Huli out of the airship and landing in the square in front of the hall, he immediately led his senior brothers, junior brothers, and a group of disciples to greet them.

Before Yu Sheng could even get off the nine-tailed fox, he saw the three Yuan Ling brothers leading a large group of people to the square. Before he could even speak, the three True Immortals opposite him solemnly raised their hands and bowed deeply.

Following them were the hundreds of inner disciples behind them, as well as countless disciples of the Thousand Peaks Spirit Mountain gathered on the mountain path, in front of the various halls, and between the corridors—countless people bowed, knelt, and kowtowed along with their masters toward the square in front of the Queyun Palace.

Yu Sheng had never seen anything like this in his life.
He nearly broke out in a cold sweat on the spot. He felt more tense than when the Dark Angel had stabbed him all over, leaving him bleeding profusely. The next second, he jumped off Hu Li's back and ran to the old man Yuan Ling in a blur: "Hey, stop, stop, stop. No need for this, no need for this—you almost gave me a heart attack. Let me tell you, we're all friends..."

Yuan Ling, however, maintained a stern expression: "Friends are friends, but how can we not thank you for saving the world? Today, countless people on the two stars of Shuji and Taixu have been saved by your grace. The entire Thousand Peaks Spirit Mountain should pay this respect..."

No sooner had the old man finished speaking than Eileen swaggered over, the little doll tilting its head back: "That's right, that's right, Yu Sheng, make them bow again. My posture wasn't good just now, so I'll bow again, just one more time..."

Yu Sheng reached out and picked up the little doll, ignoring her flailing arms and shoving her into the tail of the raccoon next to him. Then he turned to Yuan Ling, laughing and crying at the same time: "Don't pay any attention to her, she can't keep her mouth shut. Alright, I'll accept your thanks, but if there are any more big gifts later, please refrain from doing so. I'm not used to this kind of situation—but you can settle the wear and tear fee for the Otherworld Inn later, consider it as the 'Inn' taking on your mission to slay angels."

Yuan Ling was taken aback for a moment, but then she realized what she meant and a smile appeared on her face: "Of course."

As they spoke, Yuan Hao and Yuan He dispersed the gathered followers—most of whom were there out of curiosity to see what kind of fierce person could defeat the Dark Angel—leaving only Xuan Che behind, and the group headed toward the main hall.

But they hadn't gone far when, just as Yu Sheng was about to tell Yuan Ling and the others the story behind the "Star Spectrum Body," a beam of light suddenly flew in from another nearby mountain.

The rosy light landed in front of Master Yuanhe, condensing into the figure of a disciple of Thousand Peaks Spirit Mountain dressed in white helmet and armor.

The group immediately stopped in their tracks. Master Yuanhe frowned slightly: "What's the matter that you're in such a panic?"

"Master, Master!" The white-armored disciple bowed to Yuanhe Zhenren, his voice urgent, "You... the monster you kept in the tower was struck by lightning and knocked unconscious..."
