After countless attempts to persuade her, Wang Li finally agreed to disembark and take a look. Xu Chen equipped both of them with translation devices, like earphones, to ensure they could communicate with others on the planet. After passing through the space station's scan and inspection, Xiaobai carried the two into Tianfu Star.
"No water???" As she slowly descended from the atmosphere, Wang Li looked around in surprise and found only land, with no bodies of water or waterways. "Chenchen, how will the people here survive without water?"
“Buy. Some races don’t need water, but races like us humans do. Here, in addition to buying water brought by merchants, we can also buy locally produced water.”
"But?"
"On the other side of this planet, there is a whole ocean, a lot of it."
The two stepped out of the cabin, and just in case, Xu Chen put Xiaobai into the jade pendant.
"Chenchen, look at that?! Doesn't that look like a UFO we've seen on Earth?" Wang Li pointed to one of the spaceships parked in the landing field and excitedly said to Xu Chen.
"It does look like it."
Wang Li looked around, then looked up at the sky, feeling deeply moved.
"Chenchen, being with you has given me so many firsts as an Earthling: the first time I set foot on the moon as an ordinary person, the first time I landed on Pluto, and the first time I saw other civilizations in the universe."
“You are not an ordinary person. You are a cultivator and also my wife, Xu Chen.”
"Thank you... Ahhhhhh."
Hearing Wang Li's exclamation, Xu Chen quickly hugged her. An alien with seven or eight arms, a triangular head, and an overall appearance resembling an Earth squid came into Xu Chen's view. Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Holding Wang Li in one arm, he shook hands with the alien with the other. He wasn't being idle; he was just wondering if he could befriend this strange creature and perhaps borrow some Galactic Coins from it.
"You humans are making a fuss over nothing. Am I that scary?" The Cyribote alien was speechless after seeing Wang Li's fright. He shook hands with Xu Chen and swayed his body as he walked out of the landing field.
"I'm sorry, brother, my wife has never seen your race before." Xu Chen pulled Wang Li along and followed the four-legged creature.
"It's nothing. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Let's wander around and see what's going on. My wife hasn't traveled far much." The two began chatting, Wang Li still tightly gripping Xu Chen's arm, her delicate body trembling, as if afraid the Qilin would suddenly attack. Although she had also browsed the interstellar internet on the cockpit's screen, Xiaobai, out of concern for her eyes, only pushed content related to the Human race to her.
"You've come at just the right time. There's going to be a martial arts tournament on Tianfu Star soon, where the daughters of powerful human cultivators will be chosen for marriage. It's sure to be quite a spectacle. Speaking of which, I really envy you humans. Once you successfully cultivate to immortality..."
"A martial arts contest to choose a husband?!" Wang Li was extremely surprised. Were people outside still as traditional as people in ancient China? It's been over 20 years already...
What Wang Li didn't know was that all the cultivation sects in various star regions actually regarded Tianquan Sect as the most respected (just like how various universities in the author's middle school days imitated a certain middle school in Hebei Province). Whatever Tianquan Sect did, other sects would follow suit and generally do the same.
"Okay, honey, we can go and take a look then, just to join in the fun."
Wang Li nodded, and the three of them walked out of the spaceship's landing area.
"Brother, do you know any way to earn Galaxy Coins?" Xu Chen followed the four-legged creature, thinking of asking about ways to make money. After all, he would be staying here for a few more days, and he couldn't do without money.
"I know, but it's not suitable for you. Oh, by the way, you can go to Qilin City; the marriage contest will probably need manpower." The Four-Faced Beast originally wanted to join in the fun, but it estimated that those gathered at the marriage contest would be mostly human cultivators, making it very dangerous. So it simply revealed the clue to Xu Chen. He couldn't tell if Xu Chen and Wang Li were cultivators, but at least they were human.
Xu Chen nodded and pulled Wang Li toward Qilin City.
Fortunately, Qilin City was not far from the spaceship landing site. This was also to facilitate visiting humans to watch the marriage contest, since not everyone is a cultivator. The two traveled for two days. During this time, Wang Li carried Xu Chen and jumped a distance to familiarize herself with the lightness skill.
"Luckily I wore a watch. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know the time." Wang Li arrived at Qilin City, put Xu Chen down from her back, and the two of them went into the city to explore.
"Lili, come on, let's sign up too." Xu Chen glanced around and thought to himself that it was like a pillow appearing when you're sleepy. He and Wang Li came to work, and they actually encountered a job posting as soon as they entered the city.
"Chinese!???? My goodness." Wang Li hadn't noticed the words on the banner on the street yet; she was just looking at the sea of people and marveling at it. She had finally gotten rid of all the strange creatures she had encountered along the way and saw a human with two shoulders and a head. Hearing Xu Chen say this, Wang Li looked at the banner and found that it was written in Chinese characters.
"The spread of Chinese characters is probably a recent phenomenon, within the last three thousand years. Because of their rich connotations and aesthetic appeal, everyone started using them."
"How do we spread this... Chenchen... do you think we Chinese are descendants of some civilization in the universe?" Wang Li crossed her arms and suddenly started thinking about the conspiracy theory that had just popped into her head.
"No, let's not worry about that for now. Let's go get some work." Xu Chen pulled Wang Li to a banner on the street where several disciples in sect uniforms were registering people who came to help at a table.
"Hello, how many are in your party?" The female disciple looked at Xu Chen, then at Wang Li, who was holding Xu Chen's hand and was at the sixth level of the Qi Condensation stage, and felt a little strange. "A union between a mortal and a cultivator? That's quite interesting."
