Alien Hotel.

Chapter 454 The Hotel's Corporate Culture

The doll gasped in surprise in a very soft voice.

However, the next second, she saw that the surface of the stone ball returned to normal, and the scene of "splitting open its mouth" just now seemed to be just an illusion.

But Yu Sheng had already heard her exclamation, and immediately got up and walked over, asking, "What's wrong?"

“This ball… it seemed to have a mouth popped out just now,” Eileen said nervously, holding up the Ominous Wanderer (youth version) to show Yu Sheng, “but then it disappeared.”

Yu Sheng frowned, picked up the stone ball and examined it carefully. He then tapped it on the corner of the table and listened to the sound.

Actually, he didn't know how to examine such a strange thing; he just tapped it a couple of times to create a professional atmosphere.

Eileen immediately tensed up: "Hey, don't hurt yourself!"

“You seem quite worried about this ball,” Yu Sheng raised an eyebrow, casually tossing the stone ball back onto the orbital track next to Eileen’s head. “I don’t see anything unusual, but this thing itself is a bit strange… Seriously, wouldn’t it bite someone if I kept it at home?”

“That would be pretty difficult. We’re surrounded by all sorts of monsters and ghosts. Even if it grew a mouth, who could it bite? It could bite a fox and get a mouthful of fur, bite a C-shaped button and break its teeth, bite you and you’d be bleeding and it’d be ruining your life. It’s not like it’s going to bite me, is it?” Eileen muttered to herself, raising her hand to poke the Ominous Wanderer. “I don’t think it will bite me.”

Yu Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Then you should keep a close eye on it and make sure it doesn't bite anyone else—I mean, if it really grows a mouth."

Eileen gave a confused "oh," and then saw Yu Sheng across from her stroking his chin with his classic thoughtful expression. The little doll was immediately startled: "What are you going to do now!"

Yu Sheng looked up at Eileen twice, then suddenly blurted out, "What about your other bodies?"

The little doll looked wary: "...Two people are playing games upstairs, and another is sleeping in the attic. What are you doing?"

Yu Sheng rubbed his hands together, and an enthusiastic research look appeared on his face: "I just thought of something. This ball keeps revolving around you, right? Well, what if you bring your other bodies over too? Not counting the mass-produced machines, when the four Erin mainframes are standing together, which one does it revolve around?"

The little doll was stunned. Its first reaction was to marvel at how Yu Sheng could come up with such an idea. Its second reaction was, "Hey, this looks fun. I can give it a try!"
The next second, Yu Sheng heard a series of footsteps coming from the direction of the stairs. He looked up and saw two energetic Eileens followed by an Eileen rubbing her eyes and yawning as she ran down the stairs.

...Speaking of which, she actually mastered the skill that the little doll mentioned before: "send one body to sleep while the other bodies play games around the clock."
Several Eileens entered the living room at the same time. Huli, who was picking walnuts to eat on the table, and Luna, who was maintaining her blades, both looked up at the miniature "Ominous Star" with curiosity.

One of the hostel's corporate cultures was vividly demonstrated at this moment—they love to watch the drama unfold.

The ominous star was trembling.

From the moment the second Eileen appeared in the living room, the gray stone ball began to vibrate and shift noticeably as it spun. As one Eileen after another ran to its vicinity, the stone ball's vibrations escalated into a violent swaying that was even somewhat unsettling.

Yu Sheng watched in astonishment as the "Ominous Star" seemed to fall into chaos, violently swaying among the several Eileens. Then, suddenly, it emitted a strange "humming" sound and then abruptly flew upwards—

Yu Sheng: "Holy crap!!"

"boom--"

After a loud bang, the ominous star was embedded in the ceiling and remained motionless.

A few pieces of paint and cement debris fell from the roof and landed on the raccoon's walnut kernels.

Everyone was stunned. Several Irene stood there blankly for several seconds before slowly raising their heads to look at the ominous star embedded in the roof.

Doll X4: "Ah, my ball!"

Yu Sheng: "My roof!"

Hu Li: "My walnuts!"

Luna: "Yes, that's right."

The group of people, belatedly realizing what was happening, suddenly erupted into chaos in the living room. Several Eileen-like figures yelled and jumped onto Yu Sheng, demanding that he pay for their balls. Yu Sheng frantically scrambled to remove the dolls crawling all over him while emphasizing that she had also agreed to the idea. Hu Li tenderly picked up her walnuts from a pile of ceiling debris, muttering to herself as she did so…

Luna remained silent, standing in the corner of the living room, and began recording video while uploading it to the database of the Otherworld Hotel...

However, this chaotic atmosphere is another aspect of the inn's corporate culture, which Yu Sheng and his gang are quite familiar with. After a brief period of chaos, the situation calmed down when all four dolls were tied into balls by the fox's tail and couldn't move. Yu Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and decided to first take down the ominous star on the roof...

Considering there wasn't a ladder tall enough at home, he borrowed a fox's tail, carefully flew up to the ceiling on the tail, and started to pry the ball out. The four Irene girls were tied up in the fox-carrot ball and piled up on the sofa, leaving only their four little heads sticking out. They looked up and chattered: "Be careful!" "Don't drop the ball!" "A little to the left, a little to the left, don't touch the light..." "Silly fox, your fur is stuck in my joints!" Just as the family was enjoying themselves, a knock on the door suddenly came from the direction of the entrance.

The fact that someone was knocking on the door of No. 66 Wutong Road startled Yu Sheng, but he quickly recovered and turned to Luna, the only one who seemed to be free, and said, "It should be my nephew. He went to clean that little house after he came back. He probably has something to ask us."

Luna went to open the door, and sure enough, Zheng Zhi walked in—but behind him was another familiar figure.

Xuan Che followed him in.

"Mr. Yu," Xuan Che said as soon as he entered the room, before even seeing the person, he clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and explained his purpose, "My master invites you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he froze on the spot, then stared blankly at the scene in the living room.

Four Eileens were wrapped in fox tails and piled on the sofa. Yu Sheng rode on a fox tail and flew in mid-air, raising his hands to the ceiling while turning his head to look down.

It was nearing dusk, and the living room lights were already on. The fluorescent light cast a halo that spread evenly behind Yu Sheng, who sat upright in the light, holding the ominous star he had just pried off.

He looks like a light bulb changing master.

They stared at each other in silence for three or five seconds; their words were frozen, but their hearts were pounding with unspoken thoughts.

Xuan Che took a soft breath: "What... what does this mean?"

Yu Sheng also felt that this scene might be a bit strange, but he still tried to keep a straight face. As he slowly descended from mid-air, he casually stuffed the stone ball he had just pried off into Eileen's hands: "It's nothing. We just did a little family experiment and accidentally knocked the Ominous Wanderer into the ceiling. Fortunately, it wasn't embedded too deeply, and I pried it off. Hu Li, let Eileen go. She's not causing any more trouble."

Xuan Che blinked, unsure whether he should breathe a sigh of relief or not. He felt that he had been rather reckless when he followed them in—sigh, his actions with Mr. Yu in Shuji had given him the illusion that he could keep up with the pace of the "inn," but now it seemed that he had been thinking too much.

He coughed twice, then bent down again, using a serious expression to conceal the subtle look on his face: "Um, my master sent me to check if you've rested well. If you have time, please come to Queyun Palace to discuss some matters after the angel's fall, as well as the arrangements for the celebration in a few days..."

“Oh, I was just thinking about it at noon. Your master and the others should be looking for me by now,” Yu Sheng quickly clapped his hands. “But couldn’t you have just made a phone call? Why did you have to come all this way…”

“That’s how we show respect,” Xuan Che straightened up, looking serious. “Master said that friendship is friendship, and etiquette is etiquette. Mr. Yu is now from the Flying Feather Star Region…”

“Okay, okay, I understand,” Yu Sheng quickly waved his hand to interrupt Xuan Che, “I’ll go with you.”

As he spoke, he turned back and instructed Eileen and the others, "You guys stay here and watch the house—especially keep an eye on the basement. If Rapunzel tries to sneak out to play, send her back. Little Red Riding Hood just messaged me; she hasn't done her homework for three days..."

"Okay, okay," Eileen said impatiently, waving her hand as she patted Yusei, who seemed to be recovering. "Come back early tonight."

……

At the summit of Thousand Peaks Spirit Mountain stands the main hall of Queyun Palace.

Outside the open doors of the main hall, the sea of ​​clouds surged, and the setting sun poured into the clouds, its golden-red rays stretching from the horizon all the way to the steps of the main hall.

Yuan Ling and Yuan Hao were discussing matters inside the hall when Yu Sheng stepped through the door, and they both looked up at the same time.

"I must say, the scenery here is truly beautiful," Yu Sheng greeted the two with a smile. "When I was walking near the main peak, I was even reluctant to 'open the door,' feeling that I would be wasting the scenery along the way."

“That makes sense,” Yuan Ling laughed. “I often tell my disciples that while we seek the true mysteries of the Great Dao, we must not neglect the path of seeking the Dao itself—unfortunately, few of them take this seriously.”

Yu Sheng looked up and glanced around: "Is Master Yuanhe not here?"

“He went to take care of that big snake,” Yuan Hao said casually. “The snake seemed a bit off after it was struck by lightning, and he was worried about it.”

Yu Sheng responded with an "oh," then composed himself and his expression turned serious: "Let's get down to business. Where should we begin?"

Yuanling and Yuanhao exchanged a glance, and then Yuanling Zhenren broke the silence.

“Let’s start with… the legacy of the Emperor, and then the Star Derivation Body. We only got a general idea from the communications you sent us before, but now that things have settled, it’s time to carefully sort out all of these things.”
