Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
After this set of opinions spread, the effect was indeed very good. Originally, the people of Silla City were very afraid of the eight octopus-like tentacles on Li Xuanming's back, but now they were full of respect for him, feeling that he was an explorer who appeared for research, a true master!
Zijing continued, "That's why the people of Xinluo City have no hostility towards Director Li at all. They are polite, respectful and enthusiastic towards him, and Director Li seems to like this place very much."
"By the way, Director Li also became friends with Longdan, and Longdan even gave him a nickname—Master Octopus!"
A strange look appeared on Ye Feng's face, and his eyes widened.
"What did you say? Chen He's adopted daughter, Longdan, has actually become friends with Li Xuanming and even calls him Master Octopus? Isn't Li Xuanming angry?" Ye Feng asked incredulously.
Zijing nodded and said, "That's right. Longdan became friends with Director Li. Sometimes Li Xuanming would even give Longdan some pointers on cultivation. And Director Li seems to really like the nickname 'Master Octopus'."
"It's truly incomprehensible," Night Wind muttered to himself, scratching his head.
After Luo Qing and Li Xuanming came out of Ye Feng's tent, they headed in the direction of the construction site research room.
Because the research institute is still under construction and not yet completed, Li Xuanming is in that research room conducting various studies with Luo Qing.
Along the way, Li Xuanming and Luo Qing encountered many people, all of whom greeted them respectfully.
"Miss Luo Qing, Master Octopus, good afternoon."
"Master Octopus, this is a wild fruit I found in the wild. Would you like to try it?"
"Master Octopus, has the city lord summoned you again? The city lord really values you."
"Master Octopus..."
"Master Octopus..."
Luo Qing looked at Li Xuanming with some surprise and said, "Director Li, why are you so popular?"
Li Xuanming seemed a little embarrassed. He looked at the wriggling tentacles on his back and said, "I don't know either. Maybe it's because these tentacles make me look a little different from others."
"They also call you Master Octopus... but you don't seem to mind at all," Luo Qing asked again.
“Because they meant no harm, and these tentacles are indeed my most distinctive feature, it’s not surprising that they call me that,” Li Xuanming said.
Suddenly, a little girl ran over from a distance.
This little girl is none other than Gentian.
Longdan wasn't alone; she was followed by seven or eight little kids, both boys and girls.
"Master Octopus is here!"
The gentian was already shouting and yelling even before it got close.
Upon approaching Luo Qing and Li Xuanming, Longdan bowed and said with a smile, "Master Octopus, do you have time? Could you give me some guidance in my cultivation?"
Before Li Xuanming could say anything, Longdan complained, "Although the city lord arranged for Miss Zijing to teach me, Miss Zijing is really too busy. I hardly ever see her..."
Hearing this, Luo Qing muttered to herself.
Is Bauhinia busy?
She's not busy at all!
She's busy eating sunflower seeds in the old man's tent all day long, isn't she?
Luo Qing thought to herself, while Li Xuanming smiled and said, "I can't give you any pointers today. I still need to do some research with Miss Luo Qing. The task the city lord gave us is very important."
“Oh, alright then,” Gentian said.
Suddenly, the group of kids all gathered around, jumping and shouting.
"Master Octopus, we want to try that!"
"Give us a chance to play!"
"I want to too!"
Luo Qing looked at the group of kids and then at Li Xuanming, completely bewildered, before witnessing an unbelievable scene.
Suddenly, the eight octopus tentacles on Li Xuanming's back grew longer and thicker, sweeping towards the little kids. Then, the eight octopus tentacles lifted all the little kids into the air and made them spin.
Wow, that's awesome!
"Amazing! Amazing!"
"Master Octopus is really amazing!"
Luo Qing stared in disbelief, her eyes practically popping out of their sockets.
But after only a moment, Li Xuanming put all the little brats down.
"We have very important things to do, so we can't stay with you all. Let's play another day," Li Xuanming said with a smile.
Suddenly noticing Luo Qing looking at him with an incredulous expression, Li Xuanming asked, "Is there a problem, Miss Luo Qing?"
"No, no, no problem, there's no problem at all," Luo Qing shook her head repeatedly.
"Let's go then. There's still some time before it gets dark, so we need to hurry," Li Xuanming said.
So Luo Qing and Li Xuanming strode towards the research lab on the construction site once again.
Inside the tent, Ye Feng's expression suddenly turned somewhat strange.
"What's wrong, Lao Deng?" Zijing asked.
Night Wind said, "Something has happened, but we don't know if it's good or bad yet... You will protect me."
"Guardian? Oh, no problem!" Zijing immediately stuffed all the melon seeds in her hand into her pocket and then ran to Yefeng.
He sat on the ground, practicing his internal energy, and closed his eyes slightly.
When Ye Feng opened his eyes again, he found himself in a vast space.
Here, there is a pale golden sky, pale golden clouds, magnificent high-rise buildings, and wide streets.
There were still some people on the street, but not many people came here.
This world is like a perfect, fictional fantasy world.
Just then, a grand, ancient voice came from the sky: "The third test of Fantasy World begins."
A dream world?
The third test?
Night Breeze felt a little strange, and then a little girl came skipping over from not far away and asked, "Big brother, is this your first time here?"
"yes."
Night Breeze nodded and looked at the little girl.
At the same time, the night wind was also examining itself.
Ye Feng didn't notice anything wrong, except that he was no longer in the appearance of Luo Tong, the patriarch of the Luo family, but in his true form.
So Ye Feng had a thought and instantly transformed into Luo Tong's appearance.
"Wow, how did you become the Luo family patriarch? You should change it!" the little girl exclaimed.
"Why?" Night Wind asked.
"Look over there," the little girl said, pointing into the distance.
Ye Feng then looked in that direction and saw a square where about a hundred people were chatting and laughing.
And all of those people were historical figures!
Emperor Hongfeng, the founding emperor of the Hongtian Empire!
The current emperor of the Hongtian Empire, the Hongwu Emperor!
The first Dongxiang King, Xichen King, and Beihan King of the Hongtian Empire!
Of course, there was also the first King of Nanling, namely Luo Tong!
