Chapter 317 New Refugees
I have to say that Little Red Riding Hood still has quite the authority of a parent among the group of children. After she shouted, the squeaking noise on the platform was quickly suppressed. Then a group of older children, led by Rapunzel, brought the younger children over obediently and started to be scolded in front of Little Red Riding Hood.
Yu Sheng, however, was quite open-minded and helped to persuade them: "It's okay. I felt them coming to play when I was in the spaceship just now. This thing is very strong and can't be broken. Besides, I can catch it if there is any danger."
Little Red Riding Hood couldn't help but sigh, "Then you can't spoil them too much. They have been living here and have become more and more undisciplined. Besides, some of them are just willing to take advantage of others, especially the ones with long hair..."
The Rapunzel who was singled out for criticism was quite unconvinced: "I am bringing my brothers and sisters here for outdoor activities! And what do you mean by becoming more and more undisciplined? We are just a group of children, and we have been tense for so many years..."
Then there was a series of nagging, which annoyed Little Red Riding Hood so much that she couldn't stand it anymore and raised her hand to interrupt the long-haired girl's muttering: "It's so late at night and you're still doing outdoor activities! Shouldn't you take them to wash and go to bed at this time?"
Rapunzel said confidently: "It's not dark yet! We thought brother meant we could play for a few more hours today..."
Then several eyes fell on Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng was just watching the fun from the sidelines, but he never expected that he would become the focus of the scene in the blink of an eye. He quickly checked the time and slapped his forehead: "Oh my god! There are too many things to do today, and I forgot about it!"
The next second, thick clouds like a curtain rose from all directions of the valley. The thick clouds gradually covered the entire sky like a curtain, leaving only a crack running through the valley, casting a ray of light from the Black Forest straight to Tong○ Town, illuminating the path back to the town.
The doll heads around suddenly started wailing one after another.
Little Red Riding Hood clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, it's dark now, let's go back to bed!"
Then, she nodded to Yu Sheng and said, "I'm going back too."
Yu Sheng smiled and waved to her.
Little Red Riding Hood turned over and rode on the Shadow Wolf. The Thunder Titans bent down, grabbed the slow-walking child and put him on their arms. Long Hair and Snow White were still arguing about the origin of the tall tower that suddenly appeared next to the Black Forest. The group of children left in a lively manner and set out on their journey back to the town along the path illuminated by the "artificial dusk".
The squirrel and the hunter returned to the Black Forest after saying goodbye to Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng stood on the edge of the spaceship's docking platform, watching the backs of the seven Thunder Titans, the wolf pack and the kingdom's knights leaving in the distance, with a smile on his face. After a long while, he noticed a pair of eyes falling on him.
Following my feeling, I met Xuan Che's slightly curious gaze.
"What's wrong?" Yu Sheng was a little surprised.
"I just never thought that you had such a legacy," Xuan Che said as he looked around the valley. "The numerous and varied wonders are truly a spiritual and fairyland. And when I saw the looks of those children just now, it reminded me of the time many years ago when I took my fellow disciples and sisters to tour the mountains with my master. I can see that they admire you very much."
"Then there is a long story behind this," Yu Sheng laughed, "If you are interested, I can tell you later when I have time."
"That's great," Xuan Che also laughed, then bowed, "I didn't expect to be delayed for so long. I have a lot of things to report to my master, so I'll take my leave now."
"Okay, I won't stay any longer then," Yu Sheng nodded, "You've been at the border for a while now, right? If you have anything, just come to me directly."
The two said goodbye to each other. Xuan Che straightened his clothes, turned around, and turned into a ray of light, flying towards the horizon in an instant.
Then, I saw the ray of light refracting back and forth in the sky several times in the blink of an eye like a ping-pong ball, and then flying back in a moment.
Xuan Che emerged from the glow of the sunset, and it took him several seconds to focus his eyes. "Um... Master, how do I get out of here?"
Yu Sheng was stunned watching from where he was. He finally had the chance to speak when the other party came back: "You didn't know how to get out so you just flew away? I was just about to open the door when you disappeared. I didn't even have time to stop you!"
Xuan Che looked quite embarrassed, staggering while clasping his hands together and bowing: "I didn't expect the spatial structure here to be so weird, I thought it was the same as the blessed land of the sect over at Taixu Lingshu, crossing the mountain to the secular world, well, the master's method of opening up this blessed land is really brilliant..."
Yu Sheng looked strange. "My 'blessed land' is actually a foreign land... Hey, it's complicated to explain. I'll just open a door to the boundary city for you. When you go out, you will reach the No. 26 bus stop in the old city. I strongly suggest that you move around in this place like ordinary humans. Not only does it not comply with traffic regulations to turn into a streak of rosy clouds, but it's also easy to fall into all kinds of strange foreign lands. There are many foreign lands in the border area."
Xuan Che never thought that after a hundred years of cultivating immortality, one day he would be taught how to act like a human by a "humanoid" who could arm wrestle with the Dark Angel. Although he actually had experience living in the border area, considering the embarrassing situation just now, he could only wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and nod: "Well, okay, the master's teaching is very good..."
After this little episode, Yisheng and others returned to their home at No. 66 Wutong Road, and drove No. 66 Wutong Road back to the alley in the old city. It was already late at night in the real world outside.
Yu Sheng didn't want to do anything now. After bringing the house back to the real world, he went straight back to the bedroom. As soon as he entered the room, he lay down on the bed, like a salted fish spread out.
He was really exhausted.
It’s not that my body is tired - this body is new and is actually in very good condition.
But mental fatigue is not so easy to "refresh and recover".
The doll climbed from the bedside table to the bed, and then climbed to Yu Sheng's chest - the lightest clay body - she sat down cross-legged, then looked down at Yu Sheng's face, with a smug smile in her scarlet eyes: "So, I said you had a blood disaster~~"
It was obvious that she had been holding back this boast for some time.
"Don't mention your bloody disaster." Yu Sheng was too lazy to even pull the little doll off his body. Anyway, the clay body was very light, so he let it sit cross-legged on his chest, his eyes half open and half closed as he mumbled, "I'm sleepy, help me turn off the lights, draw the curtains, cover me with a blanket, and close the door."
Irene's eyes widened: "Hey, you..."
But Yu Sheng had already started snoring.
The little puppet bared its teeth in anger, but there was nothing it could do, so it jumped off Yu Sheng's body, and then several of its bodies began to run around the room, first to close the curtains, then three of them stacked together to turn off the lights, and one of them ran to the corridor outside, pulled a tail from Hu Li, jumped to the head of the bed and threw it on Yu Sheng's stomach: "You held the quilt down yourself, so just cover yourself with this!"

Yu Sheng turned over and casually hugged the fox's tail in his arms, and he felt that his consciousness had completely sunk into the calm and warm depths of darkness.
He just floated in the darkness, silently passing through all kinds of bizarre dreams. Many things he experienced during the day turned into abstract phantoms, rising and falling in the darkness.
He felt as if he were back in that magnificent and solemn spaceship that looked like a church, strolling slowly among the intricate reliefs and murals, with the terrified shouts of the monastic cultists echoing around him.
The next second, he felt himself bathed in starlight, his engine was surging with power, and the distant nebula was like a curtain in the depths of the universe, whispering many ancient stories to him -
In the story, there is a girl with dreams who left her hometown with her friends.
The golden wheat fields were rippling in the midst of the nebula, the distant starlight was splashing on the wilderness, the tower-like spaceship was hanging upside down on the edge of the dream, Yu Sheng fell from the top of the tower, passing through all those bizarre illusions——
He opened his eyes and saw the endless wilderness extending to the end of his vision under the gray sky. The wild grass in the wilderness was waving. The familiar hill was still standing far away. Against the background of the gray sky, the edges of the hill and the grassland seemed to be coated with a layer of glow.
Oh, here we are again.
Yu Sheng was familiar with the place. After seeing the familiar wilderness, he felt relaxed. At this moment, a breeze was blowing across the grassland. Although the sky was gray, he felt comfortable and relaxed here.
He strolled across the grassland and soon saw the place where Little Red Riding Hood and her companions had lit a bonfire when they had taken refuge here before - the remaining firewood was still there.
Yu Sheng came to the campfire, wondering whether he should clear away the firewood pile. After all, the children were safe now and did not need to seek shelter in their sleep, so this "safe base" that had been bustling for a few days now became deserted. Leaving a pile of firewood here made people feel a little lonely.
He took a step forward - but at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the corner of his eye.
Yu Sheng looked up in surprise and saw that she was standing on the other side of the firewood pile. It seemed that she had been there from the beginning, but her figure was blocked by the firewood pile and she was motionless. Her breath and presence were so weak that they could not be detected, so she was discovered only now.
Yu Sheng remembered her. In that long and fragmented memory, he witnessed with his own eyes the girl embarking on a journey away from her hometown.
Now, she stood straight in the wilderness, her armor seemed to be coated with a layer of faint light under the gray sky, and she was still holding tightly in her hand the steel sword given to her by her father. The breeze blew across the wilderness, lifting the knight's long hair, a touch of gold, just like the wheat field under the sun in her memory.
The Sanctuary Wasteland has welcomed a new refugee.
