Alien Hotel.

Chapter 464 Orphanage Security Guard Grandpa Yun
An illusory door appeared out of thin air on the path between the Black Forest and the fairytale town. The door opened, and several figures walked out.

First, Yu Sheng, Luna, and Eileen "transferred" through the real world, and then Yun Qingzi came directly from the Soul Wilderness to the valley in spirit form.

Yun Qingzi's figure flickered briefly after entering the valley, first becoming illusory, and then quickly solidifying, almost instantly losing all trace of his "spiritual body".

Eileen was quite surprised to see this, and even took a black spider silk to poke the old man to see if he was really solid (of course, this impolite act was stopped by Yu Sheng): "Hey, old man, your body looks like it's made of solid wood?"

“Gathering the energy of heaven and earth to create a temporary body, although it cannot compare to the original body, it can still be used if the physical body is destroyed. It’s just a little trick,” Yun Qingzi laughed happily. “Cultivators who have reached the stage of spiritual body separation will more or less study some of these skills. It can be considered a technique with the same origin as the external avatar.”

Eileen listened, stunned, and after fully utilizing her comprehension skills, suddenly blurted out, "Made of compressed air? Will it explode if you poke it?"

Yun Qingzi's cheerful expression froze for a moment: "Uh, gathering the energy of heaven and earth doesn't mean that, it has nothing to do with compressed air..."

Eileen nodded repeatedly, "Oh, oh."

They didn't seem to understand at all.

Yu Sheng looked at Yun Qingzi curiously: "Will you be able to rebuild a normal physical body later?"

“If you have the leisure, you could find a quiet place to set up a weapon-refining workshop. Reshaping your physical body wouldn’t be difficult,” Yun Qingzi said, gazing at the distant mountain scenery. He then clicked his tongue in amazement. “This place is indeed wonderful. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that this was a ‘cave dwelling’ created by a foreign land. Fellow Daoist, your methods are truly divine…”

He paused, then seemed to remember something, and asked, "If I were to rebuild my physical body, would I no longer be able to freely return to that 'Wilderness of Souls'? Or would I only be able to return by leaving my body?"

Yu Sheng raised an eyebrow: "You still want to go back?"

"...It's not for any other reason than that I'm still thinking about that seed," Yun Qingzi said somewhat awkwardly. "And that space is truly mysterious, it's really...cough cough, it's hard to suppress my desire to seek the Dao."

Yu Sheng understood what the other party meant and smiled: "Oh, that's not troublesome. Under normal circumstances, only spirits can enter that place, and only when a spirit is in danger or urgently seeking 'refuge' can it enter. But I can open the door and send you in—this situation is not limited to spirits."

He paused for a moment, then added, "I was planning to open another fixed door in the valley that leads directly to the Soul Wilderness. Once it's open, I'll give you the necessary permissions."

Yun Qingzi nodded repeatedly: "That would be good, of course."

“Come on, I’ll take you to see the fairytale town first,” Yu Sheng said with a smile, pointing into the distance. “We’ll walk there, and you can enjoy the scenery along the way. Let me know when you’ve decided where you want to stay.”

The group then walked along the path outside the Black Forest toward the center of the valley. On the way, Yu Sheng told Yun Qingzi about the general situation of the "fairy tale".

For Yun Qingzi, who lives in the Feiyu Starfield and has been trapped inside the Yanxing body for the past thousand years, these events that occurred at the border were as distant as another world. However, when he learned that this was also an "Angel Disaster" and that the children in the valley were all survivors of the Angel Disaster, he instantly understood everything.

Naturally, his attention immediately fell on the Dark Angel.

Where is that dark angel named 'Ankaela' now?

“He’s already dead,” Yu Sheng sighed. “He fell from the sky above Jiecheng.”

Yun Qingzi blinked.

Eileen, standing nearby, quickly added, "Let Yu Sheng talk his way out of it!"

Yun Qingzi: "...?"

The old man was stunned for half a minute before he suddenly realized what was happening, staring at Yu Sheng as if he had seen a ghost: "...So the Star Derivative Entity is actually the second one!?"

“That works too,” Yu Sheng thought for a moment, realizing that explaining all the details would be quite tiring, so he simply nodded. “To be honest, the Astral Entities are much harder to deal with than Ankaela, which shows that there are differences even among the Dark Angels…”

Yun Qingzi stared wide-eyed, as if he suddenly had a lot to say, but just as he was about to speak, a clear voice from not far away interrupted everyone: "Hey, brother?" Yu Sheng looked up and saw a beautiful figure with flowing black hair standing at the entrance of the town not far away, holding a net bag in her hand, surrounded by a group of children with dirty heads who looked like they had just come back from playing wildly in the wild.

Eileen stared at the person opposite her for a long time, but still couldn't recognize them: "Who is this?"

Upon hearing this, the black-haired girl opposite her immediately bared her teeth, then tossed her head, and her black hair instantly transformed into a cascading golden cascade: "It's me! Long hair!"

"Ah! Golden Retriever!" Eileen finally recognized him and waved happily. "Hey, you changed your hair color, I almost didn't recognize you..."

Yu Sheng's gaze involuntarily fell on the net bag that Rapunzel was carrying. Upon seeing this, she immediately ran over triumphantly, waving the plastic bucket she was carrying in her other hand: "We went to the stream to catch fish! Brother, look, I caught two, they're a bit small... but there are shrimp too! By the way, when do fish and shrimp appear in the valley?"

"Nonsense! I specifically brought fish and shrimp from outside and put them in the river!" Yu Sheng's eyes widened immediately. "They've only just started to reproduce and you've already taken people to catch them?!"

Upon hearing this, Rapunzel immediately pulled the bucket behind her back and grinned foolishly at Yu Sheng: "Hehe..."

Yu Sheng was exasperated by this stubborn guy, and before he could even say another word of reprimand, the group of kids who had come back from fishing with the long-haired guy had already gathered around, and then the noise started: "Brother Yu! When can we go to the mountains to play?" "Brother, brother, there are so many pretty stones in the river!" "Xiao Xiao just smeared mud on my pants..." "Sister Luna, let me tell you a story, have you heard it..." "Ah, Eileen!"

Eileen darted onto Yu Sheng's shoulder in a flash, trembling. A group of kids around them chattered noisily. Luna stood helplessly behind Yu Sheng, her hands raised, as if afraid of accidentally hurting the mischievous children. Then, a few more children noticed the strange old man standing next to Yu Sheng. The timid ones only dared to watch from afar, while the two bolder ones had already come closer, their bright eyes curiously scrutinizing Yun Qingzi's appearance.

While carrying Eileen and dodging the unruly kids, Yu Sheng turned to Yun Qingzi with a helpless look: "You should get a feel for the atmosphere first—let me put it this way, there are indeed secluded valleys and forests around here, and the jobs are really quite leisurely, but 'quiet' is not necessarily the case... these unruly kids might cause a ruckus."

"Brother, who is this old man?" Rapunzel pushed the other kids aside and asked Yu Sheng curiously.

“This is Yun Qingzi,” Yu Sheng quickly raised his hand to introduce him, but he didn’t mention too many details in front of the group of children. “He is from Taixu Lingshu. He’s retired and came to this valley to live out his days. Didn’t Little Red Riding Hood say before that there are many teleportation portals in the valley and that it’s not safe for children to run around? He will help guard the gate from now on.”

The group of children, of course, had no idea what the name Yun Qingzi meant, or even what Taixu Lingshu meant (they only knew that No. 66 Wutong Road had recently moved to a beautiful place with many mountains), but they immediately became happy, and then someone took the lead and noisily surrounded Yun Qingzi, starting to greet her in a jumbled mess.

Some called out "Grandpa," some called it "Grandpa Yun," and others shouted "Grandpa Yun"—it's unclear who started this last one, but it was clear that it was accepted by all the mischievous kids almost immediately, and in an instant, all the children started calling it "Grandpa Yun."

Yu Sheng broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the chaotic scene. He thought that Yun Qingzi, a Taoist patriarch, would not be able to stand the noisy and reckless atmosphere. But when he looked up, he saw that the old man had a happy smile on his face that he had never seen before.

An elderly man, dressed in a simple Taoist robe and with white hair and beard, was surrounded by a group of young children. His face was etched with wrinkles that seemed to bloom into flowers as he smiled and responded to each child's greeting: "Hey, good day, good day, kids... Hey, you too, all of you are doing well..."

Rapunzel, though usually mischievous, was the oldest among them. Seeing the little ones getting too noisy, she quickly stepped forward to maintain order: "Don't push your way up, Grandpa's old, you're all so clumsy... Get down! No carrying allowed!"

"It's alright, it's alright," Yun Qingzi was overjoyed among the little boys, waving to the long-haired princess, "I'm still very healthy."

Yu Sheng stepped forward and pulled his long hair aside: "Don't worry, this old man is better than you—he's just not in good shape right now. When he's in good shape, even those seven Thunder Titans would have a hard time holding their own against him for a few moves."

The long-haired princess was stunned when she heard this, and turned her head to stare blankly at Yu Sheng: "...Brother, where did you find such a burly old man?"

Yu Sheng looked around and whispered to the long-haired man, "It's the one who fought against the Star Entity for a thousand years—he was originally dead, but I intercepted him."

The long-haired man was stunned for about ten seconds, almost exclaiming in surprise. Then he quickly lowered his voice and said, "Holy... bro! You brought such a god-like figure over here to be the security guard at our orphanage?!"

“He’s happy to do it,” Yu Sheng continued to mutter. “Don’t worry, he’s taken a liking to life and just wants to retire. Watching the portal in the valley is much more reliable than Sleeping Beauty who used to doze off in the guard post all day.”

"Really?"

"Don't worry, this old man and I are sworn brothers..."
