Chapter 1562: That Guy Went To Swallow A Black Hole
The next morning.
A round, orange sun lazily climbed into the sky.
Golden rays of sunlight slanted down.
The shimmering surface of the lake reflected the rising sun, rippling gently with the breeze.
Waterbirds flew over the lake, occasionally diving into the water to catch a fish.
Ducks played on the lake, quacking loudly, while insects began their morning chorus.
The emerald-green willow branches danced in the wind, and the endless sea of grass swayed in waves.
The group, still slightly drunk, slept soundly on the beach and in the grass.
A couple of them had woken up and were standing with their backs to the others, relieving themselves onto tree stumps and grass.
Yi Feng looked at them and smiled faintly.
Then, he left the area and exited Shadow Island.
In the vast expanse of the starry sky, the backdrop was always darkness and silence.
Brilliant stars twinkled in the darkness.
Countless stars formed a galaxy, with meteors occasionally streaking across.
Yi Feng stood proudly in the starry void.
He raised his hand and tore through the fabric of space, crossing the barrier of his own world and entering the even more expansive cosmos beyond.
Gazing at the infinite, boundless universe, Yi Feng felt a surge of emotions.
Even as a supreme being, he couldn't help but marvel at the vastness of the universe and the insignificance of humanity.
In the grand scheme of things, we are but a drop in the ocean.
Having a soulmate and a few close friends is enough.
After his moment of reflection, Yi Feng returned to reality.
With a single step, he arrived above a planet.
Looking down, he saw a world covered in massive trees and vines.
The leaves of these trees stretched hundreds of meters, blocking out the sky.
The trees and vines were crawling with countless snails.
They varied in size, numbering in the billions, making Yi Feng's scalp tingle.
Yi Feng landed on a towering hilltop and muttered, "I'm so impressed, I could bow to your mother. I'm utterly impressed, snail!"
It seemed that these little snails were all descendants of his brother.
The reproductive rate of snails was truly terrifying.
This was absolutely insane!
Yi Feng calculated that if the snails were given a few more centuries, they might even conquer the entire universe with their sheer numbers.
Generations upon generations, endless and inexhaustible...
At that moment.
A snail at the base of the hill rapidly expanded, growing as tall as the hill itself.
It looked at Yi Feng, rolling its dead fish eyes, and said, "Boss, why did it take you so long to get here? I was just about to discuss something with you."
"What is it?"
"Well... as you can see, I have a lot of children. To protect them, I was thinking of carving out a piece of territory in your world for them to settle."
"This planet's environment is nice, but it's too small to accommodate all my children. Plus, I'm worried that if I'm not around, some predator might come and turn this into an all-you-can-eat buffet."
Yi Feng rolled his eyes and said irritably, "That's a minor issue. There's plenty of space. But can you tone it down a bit? Are you planning to conquer the universe with your reproductive abilities?"
The snail looked guilty but didn't respond, its eyes darting around to ease the awkwardness.
It wasn't entirely its fault—after all, it was just naturally gifted in that area.
Yi Feng shook his head slightly in resignation. "Where's the toad?"
At the mention of that guy, the snail pursed its lips and said, "That guy? Good luck finding him now."
Yi Feng looked surprised. "Why?"
"That guy went to swallow a black hole..."
Yi Feng's eyes and mouth widened in shock.
That toad was getting more and more outrageous, even its actions were flamboyant.
After swallowing a black hole, is it planning to swallow the entire universe?
Is it really aiming to devour heaven and earth?
The toad and the snail, these two brothers, were truly unique in their pursuits.
Yi Feng calmed himself down, unfazed, and clicked his tongue. "Alright, want to grab a drink?"
The snail immediately declined.
It chuckled awkwardly, "I'll pass. I've been a bit busy lately."
Yi Feng raised an eyebrow. "Busy with what?"
"I still need to keep making babies with my wife..."
Yi Feng's face darkened, and he was at a loss for words.
"You already have so many little snails, and you still want more? There's no room left on this planet, and you're still going at it?"
The snail replied with righteous indignation, "That's not the point. Lack of space is one thing, but making babies is another. The two aren't causally related. You have to enjoy the process, don't you?"
Yi Feng was left speechless by the snail's bizarre logic and rhetorical question.
He sighed softly and said, "Well, enjoy your process then. I haven't seen that guy in a while, so I'll go look for him."
With that, Yi Feng vanished from the spot.
"Daddy, daddy, daddy..."
Countless voices echoed like a haunting melody across the planet.
"Who was that uncle just now... who was he..."
The countless little snails spoke in unison, creating an echo-like effect.
The snail smiled proudly and said, "That uncle is your daddy's brother, your uncle. In the future, he'll provide you with a planet where you can continue our legacy and achieve greatness!"
"Yay..."
The little snails cheered with excitement.
At that moment, a giant female snail approached the snail.
"Darling, it's been a while. We should get started."
The snail smiled warmly, its smile rippling like waves. "Alright, let's begin."
Meanwhile.
In a bustling city.
People came and went, and powerful cultivators occasionally flew overhead. The sounds of vendors hawking their wares filled the air, giving the city a lively, human atmosphere.
On a slanted rooftop, five shadowy figures lay sprawled, craning their necks to scan the street below.
"Wow, that one's pretty, that one's pretty!"
"Where? Where?"
"Damn, she's hot!!!"
The five of them stretched their necks like giraffes, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
The leader of the group was none other than Lou Benwei, his eyes shining with gold.
The other four were Dog, Centipede, Spirit King, and Bear.
Dog rubbed his sore neck and said seriously, "Bro, I've been studying hard lately and discovered a trick for picking up girls."
The others turned their attention from the long legs on the street to Dog's innocent-looking face.
Dog smirked slightly, looking pleased with himself. "The trick is to have no shame. To win a girl's heart, you must take shamelessness to the extreme."
Lou Benwei asked curiously, "Oh? How shameless are we talking?"
Dog leaned in close to Lou Benwei and whispered his secret strategy.
After a series of murmurs, Lou Benwei nodded in agreement.
"Qing, you're truly my master strategist. Shamelessness is the key to conquering all!"
Dog flattered, "You flatter me, boss. I hope you succeed and win the beauty's heart."
"Du Gu Yunyao will be coming out soon. Just follow my plan and sweep her off her feet."
"She'll definitely fall for your charm."
The other three nodded in agreement.
"With the boss leading the charge, success is guaranteed!"
"May the boss ride triumphantly tonight!"
"Not just tonight, let's make it happen today!"
Lou Benwei was eager.
He slapped his thigh bone excitedly and said, "Alright! Let's get ready, boys. We're about to put on a show!"
"No problem, boss!" they all chimed in unison.
Lou Benwei stood up, straightened his cloak, and gave the others a meaningful look before leaping to the corner of the street.
He was full of confidence, certain of his victory.
This was the corner Du Gu Yunyao would inevitably pass.
Lou Benwei wanted her to experience what it felt like to turn a corner and find love.
The reason he chose the corner was that, based on Dog's strategy, he had added his own twist.
On top of shamelessness, he wanted to add a touch of romance.
A chance encounter at the corner would set the stage for romance!
Then, with a kiss and a touch, it would be...
