Traveling Between Two Worlds: From Bread for Maids to Fantasy Overlord

After Zhou He escaped, Qin Family Fortress erupted in jubilation. The guards surrounded Huang Yiming, cheering and applauding him with eyes full of awe. Qin Cang quickly ordered the area to be tidied up and invited Huang Yiming, Qin Yuling, and Yang Xiu into the council hall. He also instructed people to take care of Yang Xiu and Qin Yuling's injuries.

The atmosphere in the council hall was heavy. Qin Cang sat in the main seat, looking at Huang Yiming with a complex expression. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke: "Young friend Huang, thank you for saving me today. However, the 'strange artifact' in your hand is exceptionally powerful, definitely not from my Qingming Xuanhuan Realm; and the spiritual energy fluctuations on your body, though faint, are real. I know you must be hiding a secret, young friend. May I ask if you can tell me frankly?"

Qin Yuling and Yang Xiu also looked at Huang Yiming, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation. Having known Huang Yiming for so long, they had always felt that he was mysterious and unpredictable, always able to create miracles at crucial moments—especially today, when the "miracle item" in his hand was able to break through the spiritual energy barrier of a Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator, something that ordinary people simply could not possess.

Meeting the gazes of the three, Huang Yiming knew he could no longer hide the truth. After today's events, he understood that to establish himself in the fantasy world and protect those around him, he couldn't rely on his own strength alone—he needed the support of the Qin Family Fortress, and he also needed to let Qin Yuling and Yang Xiu know the truth so they could make their own choice.

He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Fortress Master, Yu Ling, Yang Xiu, to be honest, I am not from this world. I come from another world without spiritual energy, but with powerful technology."

"Another world?" The three of them gasped in surprise, their faces filled with disbelief. Just then, Qin Hu walked in carrying tea. Hearing this, he nearly spilled his teacup and hurriedly asked, "Brother Ming, is what you're saying true? There really is another world? What's it like? Is there good food? Are there things even more powerful than the monsters of Black Wind Mountain? I want to go too!"

Qin Cang glared at Qin Hu and scolded, "You're so unruly! Let my young friend finish speaking first!" Qin Hu stuck out his tongue and obediently stood aside, but his eyes were still full of curiosity.

Huang Yiming smiled, not minding Qin Hu's recklessness, and continued, "In my world, there are no cultivators or spiritual energy, but there are cars, airplanes, cannons, and this weapon I have called a 'pistol'—its power is not as great as the attacks of high-level cultivators, but it can easily penetrate the spiritual energy barrier of low-level cultivators." He paused, raised his hand to activate the system, and a light blue screen immediately appeared in front of everyone, displaying the interface of the storage space, which was filled with a large amount of modern supplies and treasures from the fantasy world.

"This is my [Interdimensional Communication System]. It allows me to travel between two worlds and store items," Huang Yiming said, and with a thought, a bag of modern refined salt instantly appeared in his hand. "This is refined salt I brought from my world; it's much purer than the coarse salt from the fantasy world. In addition, there are medicines and daily necessities, all things you've never seen before."

Then, he recounted in detail how he obtained the system, how he traveled to the fantasy world, how he used modern resources to save Qin Cang, and how he killed the leader of Black Wind Stronghold, without hiding anything.

After hearing Huang Yiming's account, the council hall fell silent. The three of them were still in shock, unable to recover for a long time—they had never imagined that another world truly existed, let alone that there was a system that could traverse between two worlds. Huang Yiming's experience seemed like a fairy tale.

After a long while, Qin Yuling was the first to come to her senses. She looked at Huang Yiming, her eyes showing no fear, but rather an even stronger determination. She stepped forward, gently took Huang Yiming's hand, and whispered, "Yiming, no matter where you come from, no matter what secrets you have, I will follow you. Whether it's another world or this fantasy world, I want to be by your side and face all dangers with you."

Yang Xiu quickly stepped forward and bowed gracefully to Huang Yiming. Her eyes were filled with tears, but her tone was unwavering: "Young Master saved me from dire straits and gave me a new life. Now that I know your secret, I am willing to follow you to the death and never reveal a single word. No matter where you go, I will never leave you."

Looking into the two women's resolute eyes, Huang Yiming felt a warmth in his heart, and his eyes welled up slightly. He knew he hadn't misjudged them—Qin Yuling's decisiveness and Yang Xiu's gentleness were his most precious bonds. He gently squeezed their hands in return and nodded, "Thank you. With you two here, I'm not afraid of anything."

Qin Cang was deeply moved by the scene before him. He stood up and bowed deeply to Huang Yiming: "Young friend Huang, your secret will be strictly guarded by my Qin Family Fortress. From now on, Qin Family Fortress will be your support. Whatever your needs, Qin Family Fortress will do everything in its power to support all your plans."

"Thank you, Lord Qin!" Huang Yiming bowed and expressed his gratitude, feeling a sense of relief. With the support of Qin Family Fortress and the company of Qin Yuling and Yang Xiu, he felt much more confident in facing the Black Stone Sect's retaliation.

Qin Hu stepped forward, grabbed Huang Yiming's hand, and excitedly asked, "Brother Ming, are there really a lot of amazing things in your world? I want to see it too! I want to see what cars and airplanes look like, and I want to get even more powerful weapons so that we'll never be bullied by cultivators again!"

Qin Cang was both amused and annoyed. He reached out and smacked Qin Hu on the head: "You're so unserious! Young Master has important matters to attend to right now. How can he have time to take you to another world? Focus on your cultivation first, protect Young Master and Qin Family Fortress, and there will be plenty of opportunities later!"

Qin Hu rubbed his head, chuckled, and stopped asking questions, but his eyes still shone brightly—clearly, he was filled with longing for the world Huang Yiming lived in.

Huang Yiming's expression hardened, and he said, "Fortress Master, Yuling, Yang Xiu, now is not the time to be happy. After Zhou He returns, the Foundation Establishment elders of the Black Stone Sect will definitely come to retaliate. We must prepare as soon as possible. I plan to return to my world to stockpile a large number of heavy weapons and medicines, and at the same time take some treasures from the fantasy world back to sell for cash, so as to raise funds to purchase more supplies."

Qin Yuling quickly said, "I'll go back with you! I can't be of much help, but I can stay by your side and help you with some chores."

Huang Yiming nodded. He also wanted Qin Yuling to see his world, and besides, he felt more at ease with Qin Yuling by his side. "Alright, then you come back with me. Yang Xiu, you stay here to assist the fortress lord in managing the affairs of Qin Family Fortress, and at the same time keep an eye on the movements of the Black Stone Sect. If there is anything unusual, contact me immediately through the system."

Yang Xiu nodded in agreement and said respectfully, "Young master, rest assured, I will do my duty and will not let you down."

After discussing the matter, Huang Yiming led Qin Yuling to a secret room in Qin Family Fortress, avoiding everyone's sight. With a thought, he activated the system, and a pale blue light enveloped the two of them. "Are you ready? We're about to depart."

Qin Yuling gripped Huang Yiming's hand tightly, her eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness, and nodded: "Ready."

A flash of light, and the two figures vanished from the secret room in an instant. The next second, they appeared on the streets of the modern small city where Huang Yiming lived—bustling with traffic, teeming with people, towering buildings standing side by side, and cars shuttling back and forth, everything exuding an atmosphere of both strangeness and novelty.

Qin Yuling stared wide-eyed at what was happening before her, her face filled with shock. She instinctively gripped Huang Yiming's hand tightly. Just then, a few shady-looking thugs approached. The bald leader, seeing Qin Yuling's unusual attire and stunning beauty, immediately brightened up. He stepped forward, leering, and said, "Hey, this little lady is really pretty, dressed so uniquely. Where are you from? Come play with us, and we'll buy you some treats."

Qin Yuling's face turned cold, and she instinctively reached for her sword, but Huang Yiming stopped her. A wicked smile crept onto Huang Yiming's lips, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and he said softly to Qin Yuling, "Don't rush, leave it to me. I'll show you how 'face-slapping' works in this world."
