One-day tour to another world

Xu Shulou spent a very leisurely time on Mingyue Peak. The brothers and sisters from other peaks of Wuchen Island often came to see her, constantly asking about her well-being and staying by her bedside like flowers that could speak eloquently.

The Sheng family was also very distressed when they heard about it. Sheng's mother believed that what you eat is what you need, so she came to Wuchen Island for a short stay and made some pork ribs, lamb ribs, roasted lamb legs, stewed beef legs, etc. for Xu Shulou in different ways. According to Sheng Wuyou, when Sheng's mother went to the market to choose meat, she would always pick the left front leg, which made the butchers confused.

Xu Shulou touched his left forearm and took a bite of the cow's front leg with a smile.

A month passed in everyone's overflowing care.

However, Xu Shulou still ate and slept calmly every day, with no intention of running away.

Bai Roushuang began to feel that something was wrong. It was impossible for her senior sister to be so well-behaved.

So, one day, Xu Shulou, who returned from another world using the Sumeru Ring, was caught red-handed by his junior sister.

Bai Roushuang glanced at her senior sister and swung the note in her hand: "I'm leaving for now and will be back soon. Don't worry. Tsk tsk, you even remembered to leave a note for us. You've really improved."

“…”

"Where did you go?"

Xu Shulou responded to his junior sister's questioning with a smile and showed her the Sumeru Ring on his hand.

Bai Roushuang sighed, "I was wondering why you've been so quiet lately. It seems like you're not trying to escape from Wuchen Island, but are thinking about how to escape from this world."

"You caught me the first time I used this ring," Xu Shulou shrugged, "I feel like sighing more than you do now."

"Senior sister," Bai Roushuang said coquettishly, "We may have been a little overprotective recently, but everyone is really worried about you. If you want to go out, can you take me with you?"

Xu Shulou was helpless: "Okay, whatever you want."

Bai Roushuang cheered triumphantly, "Senior Sister, where did you go just now?"

"It's chaos, there's nothing." Xu Shulou said truthfully.

Bai Roushuang worried: "Will there be any danger?"

"If there is any danger, the head of Qingcheng should warn me," Xu Shulou analyzed, "After all, he gave me the magic weapon to repay a favor, not to take revenge."

Bai Roushuang was barely convinced: "So when do you plan to leave next time?"

Xu Shulou thought for a moment and said, "I'll leave a note."

Xu Shulou picked up the pen and scribbled a few simple strokes on the paper. Bai Roushuang leaned over and saw that three words had been added to the paper, which became "I'm taking my junior sister away for a while. I'll be back soon. Don't worry."

“…”

"Let's go now."

Bai Roushuang nodded and held her senior sister's hand. Xu Shulou input a spiritual power into the ring. In the blink of an eye, the world in front of the two of them had changed.

"This thing really can travel through three thousand worlds." Even though she had heard about it, Bai Roushuang couldn't help but be amazed after seeing it with her own eyes.

The two looked around the world and saw a transparent...hmm, Bai Roushuang rubbed her eyes uncertainly: "Senior Sister, is that a giant jellyfish?"

Xu Shulou looked up and saw that the jellyfish was dancing in the air like a giant transparent umbrella, with countless tentacles extending from it. It was glowing with a faint blue light, crystal clear, light and elegant, forming a wonderful picture.

She looked around in the sky. There was no sun, no moon, no stars. The only lighting in the sky was jellyfish.

"That's new."

As they were about to explore this world, they found themselves surrounded by a group of small jellyfish, the leader of which stretched out its tentacles towards them.

"Is this a jellyfish demon?" Bai Roushuang said cautiously, "Senior Sister, what does it mean when they extend their tentacles?"

"I don't know," Xu Shulou guessed, "Invite us to touch?"

Bai Roushuang wiped her sweat and said, "...I don't think so."

But Xu Shulou had already put his hand on it, and felt the message conveyed by the jellyfish, and suddenly realized: "They are communicating with us."

"Really? What do they say?"

"They asked us what we are," Xu Shulou thought for a moment and asked, "Are there no people here, only jellyfish?"

The jellyfish's tentacles trembled in her hands.

"How did they answer?" Bai Roushuang was curious.

"Well, they don't know what a man is, nor do they know what a jellyfish is."

“…”

“But they warmly invited us to dine with them.”

"Are we...really going?" Bai Roushuang hesitated, "Will our diet be different from that of the jellyfish?"

Xu Shulou's answer was very simple: "I'm here anyway."

“…”

The two were soon surrounded by a dozen jellyfish and brought into a "residential house". These houses lined up in a row had a strange beauty and were built relatively low. Fortunately, the rooms here had no roofs, so Xu Shulou and the other man could barely fit in them.

There were no oil lamps or candles inside. There was only a small jellyfish lying on the wall as a light source. When Xu Shulou stepped into the room, it was probably the end of its shift. It quickly slid down from the wall and was replaced by another jellyfish.

The jellyfish were very welcoming. After the two sat down, two of them wore umbrella kelp on their bodies. Bai Roushuang thought that the umbrella kelp was probably used to make aprons and aprons. They might be going to cook for the guests.

The two jellyfish began to point at the other jellyfish and gesture to them.

They look exactly the same, and you can't tell whether they are male or female, old or young.

Xu Shulou could only guess that there was probably a couple in front of him, who were enthusiastically introducing their children to him, so he nodded to each of the children.

After holding the tentacles and communicating with each other, she realized that there was indeed a couple in front of her, who were enthusiastically asking her which of their children she wanted to eat.

Her nodding gesture to each of the little jellyfish was mistaken by them as her intention to eat all of them.

“…”

Xu Shulou was silent for a moment, and waved his hands repeatedly to indicate that he was here as a guest, not to destroy the family.

"They don't mind being eaten? No, no, no, I do mind. I really don't like eating this..."

Bai Roushuang watched their conversation with great interest. When she looked up, she noticed that each of these jellyfish had a thin tentacle extending into the air. She didn't know why.

Soon, the jellyfish brought them a basin of water plants and invited them to have a meal.

Xu Shulou didn't dare to be picky, fearing that they would cook their children for him again, so he could only praise them repeatedly: "The water grass is also delicious."

Bai Roushuang sniffed the fishy-smelling water plants in front of her, looked at her senior sister whose face had turned green, and couldn't help laughing.

After the meal, Xu Shulou talked with the jellyfish again and said to his junior sister, "They said we are welcome to stay here."

"They are really hospitable," Bai Roushuang glanced at the small jellyfish that almost became the food on the plate, "maybe a little too hospitable."

"But there is a condition." Xu Shulou conveyed this to his junior sister at the same time while they were talking.

"What conditions?" Bai Roushuang asked curiously.

"That giant jellyfish in the sky," Xu Shulou pointed with his hand, "will extend one of its tentacles from the back of our necks to our heads, but they guarantee that they won't cause any pain, and you won't feel anything during normal activities."

"Why?" Bai Roushuang was puzzled.

"Apparently, all the jellyfish here share thoughts and emotions with each other," Xu Shulou explained to his junior sister, "We must now join them and be implanted by the tentacles. From now on, all our thoughts will be clearly seen by everyone."

Bai Roushuang's face froze: "Run?"

Xu Shulou waved his folding fan and made a quick decision: "Run!"

Bai Roushuang suddenly pounced towards her senior sister from across the table. The jellyfish seemed to have noticed her intention and rolled their tentacles towards her, but Xu Shulou had already quickly grabbed the back of her neck and at the same time input a stream of spiritual power into the ring. A blue light flashed before their eyes, and the two of them appeared in Xu Shulou's room on Mingyue Peak of Wuchen Island again.

Bai Roushuang was carried out of this world by her senior sister like a chicken: "It is really an unforgettable experience."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

When Bai Roushuang saw her senior sister's smile, she understood that the suffering and torture of this year did not linger on Xu Shulou's mind.

Perhaps this is what the ascetics should do, to be happy with their revenge, and once the revenge has been taken, they should learn to let it go. Their lives are too long, and if they keep every pain, every suffering, every setback in mind, they will be crushed sooner or later.

The suffering is left behind, and the road ahead is only blue sea and blue sky.

Xu Shulou didn't know what his junior sister was thinking, he just smiled and shook his head and said: "Water grass is really unpalatable."

The two of them looked at the sky and found that there was no difference in the speed of time flow in the two worlds. They had been in the jellyfish world for more than an hour, and the same was true here.

"No wonder the head of Qingcheng said this thing is of no use," Xu Shulou thought, "If it could be found in an environment with abundant spiritual energy and suitable for cultivators to live in, or if there were natural treasures that could be used, this thing would not be left in the treasury without anyone paying attention to it."

"I still like our side of the world," Bai Roushuang admitted, "but it's really fun to go out for a walk every now and then."

"Then let's do it again?"

"Okay! Wait...we're not going back to Jellyfish World?"

"Three thousand worlds and hundreds of billions of Sumerus. Each world that appears is random. It shouldn't be so easy to go back." Xu Shulou said, activating the Sumeru Ring again.

After a flash of light, the two looked around the new world. The scenery here was beautiful, with mountains and water, clear skies and fresh air. With every breath, they could smell the fragrant scent of green grass.

The two of them strolled along the water's edge, feeling the gentle breeze. They felt that everything here was pleasant. If there was anything bad about it, it was the incessant cries of monkeys on both sides of the river. Why didn't they cry?

Bai Roushuang couldn't help but follow the noise and flew to the ridge. She was stunned for a moment, looking at the monkeys all over the mountain and sighed: "It was the jellyfish world just now, it seems that this is the monkey world."

"What a coincidence! I'm familiar with this. I'll communicate with them," Xu Shulou said confidently, "I've studied ape calls."

"…Are you sure?"

Bai Roushuang leaned against a tree, watching her senior sister's confident back gradually disappear into the distance.

A moment later, Xu Shulou ran past her, with monkeys chasing after him. The monkeys were howling angrily, and so was Senior Sister.

Xu Shulou found time in his busy schedule to turn around and explain to his junior sister: "I think I accidentally said a swear word!"

“…”

After a while, the people and monkeys ran past Bai Roushuang again, but this time the monkeys were running in front and Xu Shulou was chasing behind.

From time to time, the two sides would stop and beat their chests and roar at each other, as if they were really communicating.

Bai Roushuang couldn't help but applaud, fully affirming her senior sister's research results on ape calls.
