Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 188 A Touch of Tenderness

Bai Yang took out dozens of spatial rings and emptied out all the contents inside.

In an instant, a large number of grotesque-looking alloy suits made of black metal were piled up on the ground.

"This is a D1-level alloy suit!?"

Babata was taken aback.

"Hehe, these must be stuff from Brolin's men, right? As expected of royalty, they're quite willing to spend money."

Old Man Wu somehow came out too.

Bai Yang said, "I initially thought they were professional assassins, but later I found out they were actually Brolin's bodyguards."

Wearing this stuff makes us too clumsy; it was useless when they ambushed us.

This thing is enough to withstand a Tier 1 attack from a cosmic-level enemy. If that's not enough, just wear a few more layers.

Babata glanced at the dozens of battle suits and muttered:

"In that case, it should definitely work."

So everyone unanimously decided that after returning to Earth, they would go and explore the Bermuda Triangle!

The Milky Way, a void region.

A streamlined, axe-like D3-class spaceship sped through the starry sky.

A man dressed in a black robe, his body covered in blue scales, with only a faint, curved horn visible on his forehead.

He was sitting with his eyes closed in his cabin, connected to the virtual universe.

Devon Norland entered quietly, without disturbing him.

After a moment, Baika Luo opened his eyes and called out expressionlessly, "Senior Brother."

Knowing his reclusive nature, Devon took the initiative and said, "Our ancestor has been confirmed dead. There's no point in us going to Earth anymore."

"I know," Baikalu said.

"Then why aren't we going back?" Devin asked anxiously.

"Why go back? To help you fight for the family fortune?"

Baikaro suddenly let out a sneer.

"you!"

The opponent is a Cosmic-level Eighth Order! Two orders higher than me!

Devon forced himself to stay calm and didn't lash out in anger.

"My teacher has been very kind to me! I must go to Earth and find a chance to kill Bai Yang."

My cultivation is far superior to his; there's no way I wouldn't have a chance.

"You're so stubborn!"

Devon was furious. If he didn't go back soon, he wouldn't get anything!

Suddenly, two battle swords appeared in Baikaro's hands!

A massive surge of snow-white blade light erupted from inside the cabin, forming a towering wave of blade light that instantly engulfed Devon!

At such close range, Devin had absolutely no ability to resist Baicaro!

The dignified second-generation patriarch of Nuolan Mountain, a level 6 expert at the cosmic level, was killed instantly.

"The teacher is dead. The Nolan Mountain family? Ha!"

Baikaro is back online and has gone to fight in the killing field.

He was a simple man who only cared about getting revenge and repaying kindness. Nuolanshan had been kind to him.

He was determined to avenge his teacher, and no one, not even the teacher's family, could stand in his way.

At dawn on November 17, 2063, Bai Yang and his companions finally arrived on Earth aboard their spaceship.

By then, it was almost dawn.

Upon returning to their hometown, everyone felt an indescribable fatigue from the seven-month assessment process.

So they agreed to rest for three days and then head to Bermuda together.

After entering the atmosphere, Bai Yang sent all three of them back.

When he landed on the top of the Magic City Castle, a tall and graceful figure stood out conspicuously on the huge helipad.

Phyllis!

Bai Yang was slightly surprised. How did she end up here?

Because his return was so unfortunate, he thought no one would be there to greet him.

As soon as he stepped off the spaceship, Phyllis rushed to greet him, her eyes full of concern: "Master!"

"Phyllis, what are you doing here all alone?"

It was already November.

The weather in Shanghai is already approaching late autumn.

The castle was over a hundred meters tall, even though everyone knew that Phyllis was a level 9 powerhouse.

She treated any kind of cold wind as a gentle breeze, but looking at the tarmac, the howling wind made her long dress rustle loudly.

Bai Yang immediately felt that the girl in front of him had become even more pitiful and fragile.

Phyllis said sweetly:

"Star Guardian told me that you're coming back today, Master. The Master didn't know you were coming back and is still working in the Jiangnan Base City."

Young Master Tang hasn't gotten up yet, so we didn't disturb him. Therefore, I'm waiting for you alone.

Bai Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he praised, "Your Chinese is very good now! It seems you've been working very hard."

Phyllis's eyes were full of light, and a blush appeared on her fair and delicate face.

She exclaimed excitedly, "I learned it from Xing Shou! And then I practiced constantly on the internet on Earth, is that really good?"

Bai Yang gave a thumbs up and praised, "It's really good. At least I can't hear any accent from you."

Phyllis happily stepped forward and took Bai Yang's right hand, which he readily grasped in return.

He held her small hands tightly in his palms and went straight to his room.

The two were very close, and this had been going on for more than just a day.

But this long-awaited reunion was naturally especially moving.

By noon, Bai Yang's initial mental fatigue had completely vanished.

He stood on the windowsill, looking refreshed and looking down at the entire city of Shanghai.

Below the castle, there is a monster habitat reserved specifically for the [Assassins].

The rest of the entire Shanghai area is now taking shape as a megacity.

All sorts of brand-new buildings are constantly rising from the ground.

From a height of 100 meters, he could clearly see the various details of robots and human workers at work.

A sense of accomplishment welled up inside me; this was all the result of my own hard work!

The 003 city that was once ravaged by monsters is gone forever.

Pat pat!

The sound of bare feet stepping on the wooden floor could be clearly heard.

Phyllis also got up, wearing a white veil, and went straight to the window.

She wrapped her arms around Bai Yang from behind, resting her pretty face on his shoulder, her expression quite tired.

Bai Yang joked, "Phyllis, you should improve your martial arts skills."

Her face immediately turned red, and the embarrassment of almost collapsing from exhaustion was quite annoying.

Why is Master saying it again now?!

She already knows!

I will definitely work hard to exercise from now on!

Bai Yang stopped there, not going any further and making her feel embarrassed.

The two are in a good mood at this moment, so don't break it unnecessarily.

After a few minutes, Phyllis finally broke the silence and asked softly:

"Master, do you really have one hundred inhabited planets now?"

"Of course, Star Guardian is already arranging the immigration plan."

The vast majority of commoner slaves would go there, reproduce, and establish new homes.

Bai Yang nodded in agreement; this was something he had decided long ago.

"Don't your fellow Earthlings go?" Phyllis found it very strange.

Bai Yang looked out the window and murmured, "They won't go. Even if they were to immigrate, they would stay within the Milky Way."

But actually, I wish they hadn't left Earth; they don't know what they've given up.

The Earth Federation's high command had already approached Hong and Thor, expressing their intention to migrate into the universe.

Bai Yang neither approves of nor interferes with their decision; he lets them decide for themselves.

He will specifically purchase several habitable planets for them to live on.
