CHAPTER 465: CHAPTER 465: A DAY OF CELEBRATION

On the highest rooftop of the Fairy Tale Town’s castle, Yun Qingzi, with an immortal aura, stood on a small platform connected to the tower, his wrinkles spreading as he smiled while looking at this "town" built by the whimsical imaginations of children.

Various strange and unusual houses, kingdom soldiers patrolling as if walking out from storybook illustrations, Thunderbolt Titans strolling leisurely outside the town, the rose garden enveloped in a mysterious atmosphere, and a massive beanstalk emerging from the distant mountain side.

The King lay lazily on its gigantic cat climbing frame under the daylight, yawning as it looked up at Yu Sheng on the castle rooftop, waved its paw, then turned to jump into the shoebox-sized basket in the middle of the climbing frame.

The children have gone to class, making the town much quieter. Yu Sheng approached Yun Qingzi and casually asked, "How do you find this place?"

"A great place," Yun Qingzi said with an inexplicable tone of sigh, "to retire in such a paradise-like place is indeed a fortune."

"I was worried you might find those kids too noisy," Yu Sheng said casually, "they are actually well-behaved, but most are still young, and especially after the ’Fairy Tale Curse’ incident... I didn’t set any rules for them here, just letting them be at ease."

"Very good, very good," Yun Qingzi gently said, then suddenly paused for two seconds with a hint of nostalgia in his voice, "reminds the old man of many years ago... truly many years ago, when the old man was in charge of a sect, the children in the initiation hall were just like that, the old man liked children very much then... truly many years ago."

"Ah, old man, you used to head a sect?" Erin asked in some surprise, "What sect was that? Want to go back and have a look?"

Yun Qingzi’s gaze became a little distant, then shook his head after a moment: "Don’t remember, can’t find it."

Noting Yu Sheng and Erin’s puzzled expressions beside him, the old man sighed with a complex expression and explained: "That was during the reshaping of the cosmos; back then, the Taixu Spirit Hub... was unstable, as if in a big dream, many things suddenly appeared and disappeared, even many people. Quite a few people’s memories had issues, things remembered clearly, people known, turned into last night’s dream in a flash.

"My sect was like this too... They seemed to have existed but seemed like a mistaken memory, ambiguous for many years, now the old man can’t tell if it’s a memory left by the old world, or a fleeting dream after the cosmic reshaping, or even an illusion created under the Inference Star Body influence. Can’t distinguish, so don’t distinguish."

This was the first time Yu Sheng heard firsthand about the "experience" during the world reshaping process from someone who lived through the long years and even personally witnessed the "second singuarity explosion," the strange situation Yun Qingzi described stunned him with curiosity: "... Were other civilizations that experienced the second singularity explosion the same way? Were they in this state when the world was just reshaped?"

"I’m not too clear about the things outside, Feiyu Star Domain was always somewhat closed off early on," Yun Qingzi slowly said, but then slightly frowned and added, "But this closure might be because everything in Feiyu Star Domain is somewhat ’special,’ after all... in the creation blueprint there originally wasn’t even Taixu Spirit Hub this planet."

Listening to Yun Qingzi’s words, Yu Sheng pondered.

Would Baili Qing know about other civilization circles?

After a moment of wild imagining, Yu Sheng shook his head, temporarily noted down this matter, and then brought up another issue.

"There’s a celebration tomorrow in Taixu Spirit Hub to commemorate ’Angel Fall,’ do you want to show up?"

"No, to Taixu Spirit Hub, Yun Qingzi is already a deceased, I should just ’stay dead’ quietly, running out at such times would only add worries to many," Yun Qingzi chuckled, "When everything stabilizes in the future, I’ll go greet at Qianfeng Ling Mountain... Shuji is part of Qianfeng Ling Mountain’s domain, these years I’ve fought against the Inference Star Body, saved many people yet harmed quite a few, the merits and faults should be left for later generations to judge."

Yu Sheng raised his eyes and seriously looked at Yun Qingzi for a moment, then nodded: "Good."

...

The day of the celebration arrived.

An angel descent caused everyone on Taixu Spirit Hub to break a sweat, the global "Guard Star Team" urgently ascended, countless Daoist sect ancestors who had hidden for years broke out, various sect leader elders even prepared for death and annihilation in orbit, it can be said that from the world reshaping and cosmic recreation to now, Taixu Spirit Hub this capital star entered this emergency state only a few times.

But then an angel fall following that dissipated the catastrophe silently — star-devouring level descending beings blossomed outside the atmosphere, stars fell like rain, the Dark Angel that many mortal civilizations were powerless to resist vanished under the witness of billions worldwide, the capital planet remained unharmed, countless people spared disaster.

This deserves a global-level celebration and even the designation of a new holiday on Taixu Spirit Hub.

Erin was excited from the moment she woke up, hopping around at home with an Omen Wandering Star, everywhere in circles, Yu Sheng hadn’t woken up and she was chattering by the bedside, switching between exclaiming how the lights outside floated up, pointing out the flower boats flying in the Cloud Sea, claiming fireworks were being set off from daytime in the city below the mountain, should quickly go check.

After realizing Yu Sheng couldn’t be woken, she immediately hopped to the room opposite, casually coaxing with "celebration activities today so the mountain foot city is full of good food" got Hu Li dragged up, then a fox with four puppets piled at Yu Sheng’s bedside began howling, chirping, chattering...

Yu Sheng was originally having a quiet and good dream, dreaming of himself making soup in the kitchen, but halfway through the soup pot started to speak, then the vegetables on the chopping board started to speak, even the spatula hanging on the wall started to speak...

If it was only dreaming about these things, he still couldn’t wake up, having encountered strange things in the real world frequently, even now if he truly met a situation where the cooking pot started talking it wouldn’t shock him, he could calmly argue with the often cooking pot and even argue to win — but later when the pot jumped off the stove to bite him, he truly couldn’t take it...

He opened his eyes to find four Erins biting his arm, hanging in a row like salted fish hanging under eaves, neatly aligned by the bedside.

Hu Li squatted at the foot of the bed, propping himself up with both hands, drooling at him like a Samoyed that’s been starved for three days—one that can’t even wag its tail anymore.

"Do you guys really have to? The celebration lasts for three days anyway. What’s there to see so early on the first morning?" Yu Sheng got up reluctantly, washed up, changed his clothes, and headed downstairs while grumbling to the puppet and fox following him, "Look at Luna, so stable, just standing guard at the top of the stairs peacefully..."

Erin sat on Yu Sheng’s shoulder, with the Omen Wandering Star floating by her head, hugging her arms: "Tsk tsk tsk, have you forgotten when the type-C buckle turned your arm into a flower knife?"

Yu Sheng shook his shoulder, and the little puppet cried out in surprise, quickly hugging his head, "Yu Sheng, do you want to die!? I almost fell!"

Yu Sheng was delighted.

He pushed open the big door of No. 66 Wutong Road with one swift motion.

A familiar golden color came into view.

And a bunch of kids with small water bottles strapped on, wearing little yellow hats.

"Everyone, check your things. Have you all brought your water bottles? Also, your wristbands and backpacks~ When we go down the mountain later, stick with the big group and don’t run around. Tell your older brothers and sisters in advance if you need to go to the bathroom~"

Yu Sheng immediately saw the long-haired princess maintaining order and checking equipment beside a group of little kids, along with Bai Xue and the Dragon Slayer helping out. Little Red Riding Hood stood further away, overseeing the whole scene, with ten or so Shadow Wolves controlled by her weaving among the kids, sniffing each child’s scent, before settling next to each child’s feet.

As soon as Yu Sheng appeared, the long-haired princess happily came over to greet him: "Hey, brother! You’re going out to have fun too!"

"I was planning to sleep until noon before going down—Erin and Hu Li stirred me awake," Yu Sheng said helplessly, then turned to Little Red Riding Hood, who was walking toward them, "and you are..."

"It’ll definitely be crowded outside today, and I’m afraid the kids might get lost, so I simply assigned a wolf to each kid," Little Red Riding Hood said with a faint smile, "this way, if anything happens, they can at least serve as protection."

Yu Sheng looked at the human toddlers, on average only five or six years old, each with a Shadow Wolf sitting next to them that was taller than the kids when standing. His mouth twitched: "...Well, this outing looks like a pre-school field trip for the Beast Taming Sect students..."

With this, he thought for a moment and waved his hand.

A dozen space rifts appeared out of thin air on the Cloud Viewing Platform, and from each rift emerged a deadpan-eyed Erin.

"We’ll equip each little one with a mass-produced puppet, so it won’t only look like a beast taming class but also an artifact refining class designed to confuse the locals..."

Little Red Riding Hood: "...?"

While talking, a few streams of light suddenly flew in from the distant mountain peaks. Yu Sheng looked up and his face immediately changed, "Oh no! They’re probably coming to drag me to the grand hall to make a speech! Quick, quick, quick! Let’s get out of here!"

Saying so, he opened a door leading directly down the mountain, hurriedly urging a bunch of kids to run through it. Little Red Riding Hood wanted to say something, but before she could, Yu Sheng pushed her into the door. Then Yu Sheng, along with Hu Li, Erin, and Luna, darted through the door as if fleeing.

The light landed on the ground, turning into several figures, led by Xuan Che.

He was accompanied by several junior brothers and sisters.

"...Senior Brother was just here, right?"

Xuan Che looked around but only saw Zheng Zhi slowly pushing the door open and stepping out from a small house not far away. He stretched lazily, and the two sides exchanged bewildered glances.

In the next moment, Xuan Che stepped forward: "Zheng, it’s up to you now!"

Zheng Zhi was startled and backed away: "Wait, what are you guys going to do!"

"We need you to speak about Mr. Yu’s great achievements in the capacity of the Immortal Envoy welcoming guests at the travel agency to the heads of the Five Sects—"

"Wait a minute! I don’t understand what you’re saying... I can’t do this! My internship isn’t even over; I’m not permanent yet! Brother Yu, save me, Brother Yu, save me—"
