Ready to Go
Earth, be it poor or rich, had always been an existence that Xia Fei dreamed of.
The huge Nirvana floated three thousand meters above the ground, slowly moving forward. Xia Fei and Avril stood side by side by the window, looking down at the world beneath them.
"This is your hometown? It sure is beautiful, said Avril. This was her first time visiting the place where Xia Fei was born, so she was very excited. After all, Xia Fei had left his footprints on this planet, growing up with him.
Yes, Earth is very beautiful. Fortunately, Earth did not have many resources during the war, so it escaped. The insectoids retreated after firing a few cannons, said Xia Fei.
Since you like your hometown so much, why don't you build a house here and visit it often, said Avril.
Xia Fei said, Oh, Wu Long really did find a house for me. I heard that it's not bad, but it's a pity that I've never been there before. Why don't we go take a look now?
Avril agreed with a smile. Xia Fei gave Wu Long a call and changed the location of their meeting to his new home. Along the way, Xia Fei would stop and introduce every scenic spot to Avril as if he was talking about his family treasures. Avril listened with great interest, and it was only in the evening that they arrived outside of Hangzhou.
The place that Wu Long had chosen for Xia Fei was quite to his liking. With its back facing West Lake, it was quiet and enchanting. The garden was not too big, and it was about five thousand square meters of Soviet-style garden architecture. It had rockery and strange stones, and the carved beams and painted rafters were very exquisite.
Andre and Wu Long, who had stayed back on Earth, were already waiting in the garden. Even Charlie, who was stationed at the headquarters of Quantum Holdings, had returned.
Youre driving such a huge carrier, yet youre even slower than us. How is it? The garden I chose for you is not bad, right? Wu Long laughed.
Xia Fei said, I was too busy looking at the scenery along the way, so I came a little late. Sorry, sorry, but this garden doesnt look like it was newly built. Did you snatch it from the hands of some rich scion? "
Every inch of land by West Lake was worth its weight in gold, and the good spots had long been occupied. Finding a place to build a garden was not an easy task.
Wu Long's expression darkened. Do I look like one of those people who plunder the wealth of the people? This garden was originally owned by the Federation, but it's been abandoned since the war, so I made the decision to sell it to Quantum Holdings. You'll have to spend your own money to renovate it. Why don't you ask Charlie? "
Charlie said with a smile, "President Wu is right. I was the one who made the decision to buy this garden. It can be considered a real estate investment for the company. After the war, land prices were cheap, so I took the opportunity to buy a lot of land all over the world."
Xia Fei nodded. Charlie's economic acumen was admirable. It was only natural for a company as large as Quantum Holdings to have some real estate.
Avril smiled and greeted everyone. They had known each other during the war, and everyone laughed and said that Avril was getting prettier and prettier, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
Not only was the West Lake picturesque, but it also produced excellent koi fish. Avril couldn't stop praising the West Lake Fish in Vinegar Vinegar.
At night, Avrils returned to her room to rest, leaving Xia Fei and his friends alone.
"Time sure flies. Back on the plane, I got slapped by you because of my mistake. I wasn't convinced back then, but now that I think about it, that slap was really worth it. You made me the president of the Federation," the outspoken Wu Long said. "Now that we've been on a space warship, interstellar travel has become a common occurrence. I wouldn't even have dared to think about it in the past."
Charlie added, "Isn't that right? The entire Earth should be thanking you, Brother Xia Fei. If not for you and Quantum Holdings, Earth wouldn't have gone from an unknown little planet to the first-rate metropolis that everyone knows about today."
Xia Fei hurriedly said that it was all thanks to everyone. Andre could tell that Xia Fei had something on his mind, so he asked in a deep voice, "Where are you going this time? How long will it take for you to return? "
Charlie and Wu Long were very interested in this question, too, so they listened carefully.
"Oh, somewhere very far away. I can't tell how long it will take."
"Is it dangerous?"
"It might not be very peaceful."
"Just what kind of place is it?" the impatient Wu Long asked with concern.
Xia Fei smiled. "In any case, it's a very interesting place. Don't worry; I'll take care of myself."
Everyone fell silent. Xia Fei was no longer the inexperienced youth from back then, so it was very difficult for them to guess Xia Fei's actions. This was because Xia Fei's current identity and status were there for all to see. He was the Alliance's war god, one of the most mysterious and respected characters in the entire Pan-human Alliance.
"Have you finished preparing the things I asked you to?" Xia Fei asked.
Wu Long heavily patted his chest. "How could I delay what you asked me to do? Isn't it just tea leaves and cigarettes? They're all stored in the warehouse, and every single one of them is the best of the best: Longjing, Maojian, Tieguanyin, Yunwu, Pu 'er, Dahongpao; you name it."
"I just don't understand. Why do you still like to smoke Hongtashan now, and it's even the cheapest kind?"
Xia Fei chuckled. "I'm used to it. If it's something else, it just doesn't taste the same."
Charlie said, "That just shows that Brother Xia Fei is someone who remembers old times. Ever since I met him, he's always liked fried paste noodles with cucumbers, and it's still the same."
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback. "Oh, I almost forgot if you didn't mention it. I still need to prepare some sweet sauce."
Wu Long laughed heartily. "You might have forgotten, but I haven't. I've already prepared ten jars of Liubiju's best sweet sauce for you. Paired with Zhangqiu scallions, Shouguang cucumbers, and tomatoes, it'll be enough for you to eat for a long time."
…
Silently, Xia Fei began to pack his things.
Tomorrow, he would be heading to the completely unknown Law Realm. He had no idea what it was like, who was there, or what they were doing there.
What he could be sure of was that the Law Realm was definitely not a peaceful place. Yuhua had already told him that the strong were revered there, and the weak's living space would be greatly reduced. Without strength, there would be no future. It was a cruel and dangerous place, but it was also filled with opportunities.
Unlike the situation of getting rich overnight in the Alliance, the Law Realm was a completely different plane. It was not impossible for the lucky ones to see the end of the universe with their own eyes.
Lil Pea, Furball, and Phantom would be accompanying Xia Fei. Reality proved that this strange combination of a man, a ball, a ghost, and a machine was very effective.
Lil Pea was like Xia Fei's butler, in charge of taking care of his daily needs. Furball was Xia Fei's exclusive exotic beast and also a mysterious thug. There was no telling when this fellow would jump up and kill Xia Fei's enemies, but before that, Xia Fei would have to put up with its lazy personality.
Phantom was Xia Fei's mentor and helpful friend. Having received a large amount of information on medicinal ingredients from the Sentinel Goddess, he was very pleased with himself and had the intention of trying out his skills in the Law Realm. However, Phantom was not very decisive, often appearing to be indecisive.
In short, this was a team that was very efficient but also very headache-inducing. Everyone had their strengths and weaknesses, and they were both strange and stubborn existences.
Sighing, Xia Fei stored the storage container containing the Blood Demon Claw into his spatial ring. The Blood Demon Claw had once again disappointed him. It completely ignored Xia Fei's needs and began its seventh reincarnation. Though seven reincarnations would naturally have sevenfold the effect, Xia Fei had no choice but to bring his half-crippled seventh brain region into the Law Realm.
"We'll have to wait for the Blood Demon Claw to mature for the seventh time in a month. Hopefully, you won't run into trouble right after entering the Law Realm," Phantom said.
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback. Phantom's words had reminded him that trouble always followed him like a shadow. In the past two years, Xia Fei really had not run into anything too troublesome, and it had been so smooth that even he himself was surprised.
This was very strange and abnormal. Could it be that the peace signified a huge problem?
Xia Fei shook his head, trying to get rid of those random thoughts.
He had sold some of the Purple Hearts of Spirit he had obtained from the ancient ruins in exchange for the funds needed to construct Terminus, and Furball had eaten quite a lot of them, so he still had about six tons left. He needed to bring all of them with him. If he did not give Furball something to eat, there was no telling if the fellow would revolt one day. The world was big, but in Furball's eyes, nothing was more important than his own food.
Next was a lot of tea leaves, cigarettes, and sweet pasta sauce. These were all food for Xia Fei's mind, and the tea leaves were even better gifts. Xia Fei planned to continue his gift-giving policy in the unfamiliar Law Realm, giving them wherever he went. After all, as the old saying went, it was not strange to have too many gifts.
After storing some of his personal clothes and commonly used medicinal herbs and fruits into his spatial ring, the one thousand cubic meters of space was more or less full. Next up was to organize his weapons and equipment.
Xia Fei took out a dagger that was in poor condition and furrowed his eyebrows. "I don't need this lousy knife. I still have October Flying Snow."
"Lousy knife!" Phantom shrieked, his face red. "This is the Blood Crystal we're talking about! The number one treasure of the Assassin Sect! Don't be fooled by the fact that it's not even sharpened yet, and it can only be used to cut watermelons at most, but once this dagger regains its spirituality, it'll have unimaginable power! "
Shrugging, Xia Fei naturally knew about the Blood Crystal. According to the description of the craziest sect master of the Assassin Sect, Slaughtershadow, this dagger was practically an omnipotent divine weapon, relying on sucking human blood essence to survive. The higher the expert's blood, the more effective it would be. Once it consumed enough blood essence, it would be reborn! Revealing its ferocious face!
Slaughtershadow had killed countless people in his life, yet he had not been able to revive the Blood Crystal. It was enough to show just how much blood essence it needed. As a weapon, the Blood Crystal was simply cruel and extremely strange!
The truth was that Xia Fei did not like this dagger at all, for it was not sharp at all. Using it to kill people was no different from using a stick. Furthermore, Xia Fei was proficient in the art of drawing chestnuts from the fire, killing with a single strike, so Xia Fei did not like the Blood Crystal very much. He would rather use an ordinary alloy dagger than this little stick to kill people.
"You're really wasting such a precious treasure. Such a powerful Blood Crystal is actually worthless to you. The past sect masters of the Assassin Sect will definitely be furious if they find out about this."
Phantom's nagging was annoying again. Xia Fei hurriedly put the dark red stick into his spatial ring to save himself from the nagging.
In the bedroom, Avril was already asleep. Xia Fei crawled under the covers and hugged his head with both hands, staring at the ceiling.
"Is everything packed?" Avril turned around and asked.
"Yeah."
"When are we leaving?"
"Tomorrow night."
There was a moment of silence. Even the moon hid behind the clouds, unable to bear to see this pair of lovers who were about to part ways.
"I can't sleep …" Avril lay on his chest, looking like a helpless little bird.
"Me too …"
