Chapter 401 Bringing My Country Girlfriend to the City
Huali patted the seat next to her, her excitement barely concealed. "Come sit down, everyone. Let's form a circle; it'll feel more ceremonial that way."
In the past, she was always the one who was amazed by the various magical treasures and artifacts of the cultivation world, like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden. They say fortune turns, and this time it's her turn to brag.
Shen Yu and the others moved as instructed, forming a somewhat irregular circle around Hua Li.
Yan Xi stood close to Hua Li, her long, silver-blue hair casually draped over Hua Li's feet. Beside her were Lian Zhuo, Chen Yu, Luo Chuan, and Wen Jin.
Wen Jin sat on the other side of Hua Li, and wearily reached out to pinch the ugly fish head on her pajamas.
"Little Rosewood, you need to infuse your memories into the petals with spiritual power, and then merge your divine sense into them, and I will be able to see your world."
Huali gently placed her hands on the floating "Water Moon Mirror Flower" and slowly closed her eyes.
"Let me think, what should I take you guys to do?"
"A roller coaster! It's a must-have for modern young couples at amusement parks." Manager Ao suggested from the side, "Thor's Hammer, and—our relationship is like a drop tower~ either one will do."
The Pear King vetoed it.
"This is too childish for them. These people have seen everything, from flying to escaping into the ground to the earth. We need to find something truly interesting."
We absolutely have to go to the cinema to experience the immersive surround sound and light show. We also have to eat KFC and ice cream; the young master would probably love it.
Take a car and subway, enjoy the night view, and go shopping at the supermarket!
besides......
Forget it! There are too many. I'll just do whatever comes to mind!
In an instant—
Countless vivid and interesting memories of the modern world are slowly and continuously injected into the narrative.
The petals, initially transparent, gradually transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors, and within them, blurry yet strangely dynamic scenes began to emerge—
Skyscrapers rising from the ground, a constant stream of steel vehicles, a brightly lit cityscape at night...
Karin's eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes. "Injection complete. Let's go in."
Several people simultaneously formed hand seals.
Six beams of divine consciousness, each a different color, flowed like a guided stream, simultaneously rushing towards the blooming petals.
The moment their powers converged, the Water Moon Mirror Flower burst forth with dazzling brilliance, instantly enveloping everyone.
Light and shadow shift, time and space are reshaped.
Six figures suddenly appeared in a completely different world.

Huali stood firm, looking at the familiar park downstairs in the community as if from another world.
But then, when she saw the bewildered and confused faces of the important people around her, her sense of pride in "taking her country bumpkin to the city to broaden her horizons" almost overflowed again.
“This place is indeed one I have never seen before.” Lian Zhuo chanted a Buddhist prayer, his clear eyes filled with doubt. “What is this?”
"A tower?" Shen Yu looked over, "But why is there no eaves?"
“That’s called a residential building,” Huali explained. “My home is in there.”
Luo Chuan laughed and said, "Little Pear is certainly rich and powerful."
Huali paused for a moment before realizing what was happening, then explained with a wry smile, "It's not just me living here; there are many other people living there."
Wen Jin's aura suddenly turned somber. "You live with someone else?"
Huali: "..."
"They don't live together, they're just on the same floor, like a guesthouse."
Seeing that the group was about to speak, Huali quickly urged, "Come on, come on, don't rush to ask. It'll be more interesting if you discover it yourselves."
Yan Xi blinked, "Then I'm really looking forward to it..."
"Stay!"
Yan Xi paused, "?"
"You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky~, let me keep you with my heart~"
"Stay!"
"Singing the most dazzling ethnic tunes softly~ Let love sweep away all the dust~"
The powerful, penetrating voice, with its overwhelming momentum, instantly drowned out Yan Xi's unfinished words.
Yan Xi: "..."
He looked in the direction from which the sound was coming from.
In the open space ahead, a dozen or so middle-aged women dressed in matching red short-sleeved shirts and black skirts were dancing in unison to the deafening music.
Arms waving, footsteps resounding, the scene was incredibly lively.
Karin was startled by the familiar music, her long-dormant DNA was instantly awakened, and she subconsciously hummed along a few lines.
The song is so captivating that even Ao Bai couldn't help but tap his tail to the beat.
I wonder how Lian Zhuo and the others will evaluate such a shocking culture shock.
Karin turned her head curiously, only to find that all five heads had already turned back in unison, their movements so synchronized as if they had rehearsed.
Karin: "? What's wrong? Did sand get in your eyes?"
Ao Bai: "If they all blow in at the same time, wouldn't that cause a sandstorm?"
Wen Jin frowned and said succinctly, "It's improper."
Shen Yu closed her eyes and said, "Why are they dressed so provocatively?!"
Huali: "?"
Huali: "..."
After a brief silence, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"I'd forgotten you guys are all old fogies!" Huali thought it was incredibly cute to see the slight furrows in their brows.
“That’s how we dress here. Look over there, that old man is wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and that young lady over there is wearing such a pretty skirt. It’s all very normal.”
The group remained focused, their eyes fixed straight ahead.
Huali laughed to herself for a while, then stepped forward and herded them forward like ducks, saying with a grin, "Alright, alright, stop standing there. Anyway, it's nearby, I'll take you to my house first, and then we'll go out for a stroll."
A group of people dressed in "strange costumes" walked past a group of middle-aged women doing square dancing, but surprisingly, they did not receive any attention.
Ao Bai climbed up the young master's leg to his shoulder, "We are now in your memory world, so no one else can see us."
"But we can touch things, smell things, and we won't bother anyone."
Huali nodded. This Water Moon Mirror Flower is truly a wonderful thing. I should have picked more of it back then.
Now that lunatic Wen Tingyun is in the northern border, she's a little scared to go there again.
*
After pushing Lian Zhuo and the others into the elevator one by one, Hua Li pressed the button. As the doors slowly closed and the maniacal, brainwashing voice disappeared, Wen Jin's tense body gradually relaxed, and a hint of amusement appeared in his eyes.
"bite--"
"We're here! This is it, right in the middle!"
Huali jogged forward, skillfully pressed the keypad, opened the door, and showed it off, saying, "Ta-da! This is my modern home, welcome everyone!"
Shen Yu and Yan Xi were the first to step in.
What you see—
Beige walls, soft light-colored carpet, green sofa with several cute cushions piled on it.
There are green plants on the windowsill and some small decorations on the wall. The whole space is very similar to the large living room where they now live together.
But they had never seen the square boxes and other strange-looking objects around them before.
Shen Yu looked around, her clear voice filled with pure doubt, "Why is your place so small?"
Huali: "...That hurts, bro."
Shen Yu: "?"
Seeing the obvious surprise on their faces, yet their bashful glances, Huali understood. "I'm going to my bedroom to change my clothes. Please make yourselves at home."
"Feel free to explore, and it's best to get hands-on! It's much more fun to discover things for yourself than for me to tell you."
After saying that, the girl closed the door and dashed into the bedroom.
A brief silence fell over the living room, leaving only the five people and the room full of modern technological products staring at each other.
Yan Xi was the first to make a move.
His gaze was fixed on the black tablet on the wall.
He had seen this thing before; when Yuan Ting transformed into an island and devoured people, a disheveled woman had crawled out of it...
Driven by curiosity, Yan Xi stretched out her slender fingers and gently tapped the screen.
"Click—", the TV was turned on just in time, and the huge LCD screen suddenly lit up!
As luck would have it, the show being played was a popular fantasy drama airing during the summer.
Yan Xi took a half step back, frowning. "This thing can actually imprison a living soul?"
Upon hearing this, the other four men's eyes darkened.
Just as Lian Zhuo raised her hand to perform the ritual, the person inside suddenly moved!
A male actor, dressed in a magnificent costume and with exquisite makeup, was tightly embracing a woman in white. Facing a small number of "celestial soldiers and generals," he was shouting at the top of his lungs, his expression one of utter grief.
"For you—I would rather betray the world!! If Heaven does not tolerate you, I will destroy Heaven! If the world wants to harm you, I will make the world—pay homage to you! Ahhhhh!!"
"......"
All vigilance suddenly froze.
...
Shen Yu's lips twitched involuntarily, and Qing Ling's voice was filled with utter disgust:
"Was this person's brain damaged by lightning during his tribulation? How could he act so recklessly and ignorantly, constantly talking about killing the Heavenly Dao? If the Heavenly Dao is destroyed, won't the woman he loves also die?"
The young master, unable to bear it any longer, pointed to the spot where Yan Xi had just touched it, intending to turn off the "noisy" thing, but instead accidentally pressed the channel change button—
The screen flashed, and a mournful soundtrack began to play.
The strangely dressed man with thick lips spoke: "A person whose heart is dead... how can they seduce others?"
The man next to him, wearing glasses similar to those worn by Luo Shenshu, said with a resolute look, "That's not necessarily true."
"Your heart may be dead, but your mouth isn't. You'll still forcefully kiss others. How terrifying!"
"......"
The living room fell into an even more eerie silence than before.
Lian Zhuo slowly lowered her hand.
"Amitabha."
"Such obsession is comparable to a demon in one's heart."
Out of sight, out of mind, the group simply dispersed.
Shen Yu pushed open the door and entered a small space, her gaze falling directly on the white, jade-like seat on the floor.
The item had a very unique design. The young master raised an eyebrow and casually lifted the lid.
"Huh? It's actually a water storage container?"
He seemed lost in thought...
After noticing the small button next to him, he pressed it with a curious mind.
"Whoosh—"
A loud rushing sound rang out, and the gentle flow of water vanished instantly.
Shen Yu: "!"
*
On the other side, Wen Jin became very interested in the rectangular box in front of him.
He gently pulled it open and found that it could generate white mist and become bright instantly without the need for spiritual power or candlelight.
Curiosity flashed in the Demon Lord's pale golden eyes. He tried it again and again, and it worked as expected.
*
Luo Chuan observed everything in the living room, and a white object with three fan blades standing quietly in the corner caught his attention.
The Demon King strolled over and slowly squatted down.
The slender fingers first poked the smooth plastic fan blades, and after finding that they could rotate slightly, they looked at the black rope connecting the fan to the wall.
Following the rope, I saw several strange little holes in the corner of the wall.
The well-informed demon king pondered for half a second, then suddenly stretched out his finger and tried to insert it directly into the small hole of the socket—
"Sizzle!"
A faint electric arc, accompanied by a slight numbing sensation, repelled his fingers.
Surprise flashed in Luo Chuan's heterochromatic eyes. He examined the plug structure again and tried to gently push it in.
"Buzz—"
The fan immediately hummed, and the three stationary blades began to spin rapidly, suddenly blowing the red coral beads in his hair and his wide sleeves.
Luo Chuan was taken aback at first, then a look of pleasure flashed across his face.
*
The most stable one is none other than Lian Zhuo.
Unlike the others, the Buddhist disciple did not show much curiosity about the novel objects. Instead, he paid more attention to his surroundings and strolled to the balcony.
What comes into view is a huge "crystal wall".
Unlike the glass walls in the courtyard where they now live, this object cannot be pushed open, thus completely isolating them from the outside scenery.
Lian Zhuo pondered, "The barrier hinders the absorption of spiritual energy, so—"
His jade-like fingertips gently touched it.
The next second, the floor-to-ceiling window turned into thousands of shimmering powders, which fell down in a flurry.
The Buddhist monk stood on the edge of the seventeenth floor, his white robes fluttering in the wind. But instead of the coolness he had imagined, he was met with a wave of heat.
Lian Zhuo: "...?"
*
Just then, after much deliberation, Huali finally chose a beautiful and slightly sexy slip dress, and happily opened the door—
"Do you think I look good in this? In a little while we..." Her voice trailed off.
Instead of the amazed looks Karin had imagined, she was greeted with—
On the television, He Shuhuan roared hoarsely, "Yiping! Ruping! What should I do?!"
It was Yan Xi, sitting on the sofa, adjusting the volume with great interest.
Luochuan is dedicated to fully powering all the sockets and enjoys doing so.
It was Wen Jin, whose body was almost halfway inside the refrigerator.
And coming from the bathroom, the sound of flushing water again and again...
...
Just then, a sultry breeze carrying the lingering warmth of the city swept over us.
The knot on the small halter neck strap around Karin's neck swayed in the wind. She stiffened her neck and subconsciously looked in the direction the wind was coming from.
The huge floor-to-ceiling window that should have been there was now completely empty.
In the wind, Lian Zhuo, dressed in white, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance with a focused expression.
Upon hearing Huali's voice, everyone turned to look at her. When they saw the girl's attire, their eyes flashed with amazement and stunned disbelief.
Huali didn't have time to discern the possessiveness in her "boyfriends'" eyes; all she felt was darkness upon darkness.
"Ha...a husky has become a spirit..."
"The Demon... the Demon Orb has descended upon the world."
