Chapter 172
Above the clouds.
“Fu Le, let me tell you, this club costs 100,000 yuan a year. Without a membership card, ordinary people can’t get in.” Sun Lin stopped his car in front of what looked like an ordinary club. “The card I have in my hand belongs to my second uncle. He’s a businessman and often brings his friends here to discuss business.”
Don't be fooled by its ordinary appearance; inside, it's a glittering, decadent place.
'Host, you have one hour left before entering the next dimension.'
As soon as I entered the private room at the club, the shuttle alarm went off.
Fu Le: ...
Shouldn't we be glad it wasn't the previous ten numbers counting backwards?
"Ah Lin, Jia Jia, I have something to do and have to leave right away. I'll cover the expenses here." Fu Le took out a wad of cash from his bag and stuffed it into Sun Lin's hand before quickly leaving without waiting for a reaction.
Sun Lin: ...
Sun Jia: ...
What's the rush?
Although it was a bit of a disappointment that Fu Le wouldn't be able to see the great performance, he still asked, "Brother, you're not really going to use my sister's money to pay the bill, are you?"
Sun Lin: ? ? ?
"Aren't I your own brother?"
"My sister is also my own sister."
Sun Lin: !!! I'm so angry!!
When Fu Le arrived home, there were still ten minutes left, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
'Host, there's something I need to tell you.'
Fu Le asked in confusion, "What is it that requires prior notice?"
'Your body can't go on. The main system has found out about your cultivation technique.' The system's text was jumping, as if it was experiencing a lot of emotional fluctuation.
"What do you mean?"
"It means I can no longer create a clone for you to travel to other dimensions. You'll need to be reborn into another body. Your cultivation techniques won't work in other bodies either."
Fu Le: !!!
"What about the things in my space?" Fu Le wanted to explode, but now was not the time. Once they reached the other dimension, the shuttle would definitely have disappeared immediately and wouldn't be answering her question.
'The things in my space are still usable, but yours aren't, so please transfer some resources over as soon as possible~'
Fu Le: There's a swear word I want to say!!!
'Host, swearing is not allowed!'
Fu Le: !!!
He simply tossed a household item ring, a milk jug, and a spirit fruit ring into the shuttle.
As soon as it was thrown in, the world spun around, and the next second, Fu Le on the bed could barely breathe, and the little prince disappeared without a sound.
This time, Fu Le was woken up by hunger. He felt as if his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were all tangled together, and his stomach was being squeezed into a ball.
I'm so hungry...
Beneath the endless yellow sand, as far as the eye could see, was only desert. The scorching sun seemed to be baking all the corpses around.
Fu Le woke up amidst the stench of a corpse. Her body was tightly embraced by a woman's body, and she could hear a weak, almost non-existent heartbeat.
Struggling out of the woman's embrace, Fu Le looked at the woman, who was pale and thin, and had fainted like a skull. His expression twisted uncontrollably for a moment.
Her body is too small; her hands look like those of a five or six-year-old, so small and short. How could she survive if she encountered danger?
It's not as good as the previous world, where my body was strengthened and I could handle most crises.
Hopefully, this isn't some strange dimension; if things are normal, she can survive.
While mentally preparing himself, Fu Le took out the milk bottle, held the spout, and poured milk into his stomach until his parched belly swelled up.
Now that he was no longer hungry, Fu Le had the mind to look at other things. He looked at the woman on the ground, who was wearing a hemp-colored long robe with her hair styled in the ancient women's bun. Her face was pale and she looked like she was about to die.
I'm guessing she's the mother of this corpse.
"The shuttle... if I leave, this body will become a corpse, right?"
'When you arrived, her soul was still there, so you two are currently coexisting! While you're here, she's in a dormant state, unable to hear or see. I'm leaving; take care of yourself, host.'
Fu Le: ? ? ?
"Don't tell me this place is fraught with danger? Ah, what dimension is this? You still haven't told me?!"
The shuttle didn't reply, clearly it had already left.
'Squeak, squeak, squeak...' The little prince's figure gradually appeared on the shoulder.
"Little Prince, I've already traveled through different worlds, and you still managed to follow me! Are we soul-bound together?" The little prince patted his fluffy head and grinned broadly, looking like a melon thief.
"Here, have some fruit." Taking out the spirit fruit ring and putting it on, Fu Le took out two spirit fruits and handed them to the little prince.
The little prince took them one by one, then took out the spirit fruit from the little necklace around his neck and continued to crunch away.
Fu Le: ...
She had forgotten that the Little Prince had a storage space she had given him. But why could the Little Prince's storage space come along too?
"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak..." The little prince, having eaten and drunk his fill, jumped to the ground and pointed at the woman on the ground, making noise incessantly.
"You want me to save her? Fine." Yu Nuoyi found a glass, poured a glass of milk, and forced the woman to drink it.
Although she was unconscious, her instinct to swallow was still there. The woman woke up as she drank, reached out, and gulped down the entire cup.
Luo thought she was dreaming. Otherwise, how could she have gotten milk in this desert where you could be roasted alive at any moment?
When she opened her eyes, she saw the little girl she had picked up on the road, looking at her calmly. Those innocent eyes were no longer innocent, but rather deep and frighteningly calm.
Roche: !!!
She was definitely dreaming, otherwise why would the little girl have such a clear expression?
"Girl? What's wrong?" The first thing that came out was an unintelligible local accent.
Fu Le: ...
Unable to understand, Fu Le stood up and pointed ahead. "It stinks here. Several corpses are already rotting. We have to leave."
The woman miraculously understood Fu Le's meaning, stood up, pointed ahead, and said, "It's still three days and three nights' journey to the next city. If we walk there now, we might collapse halfway."
Huh? This time it's Mandarin, and she understands it.
“Let’s go.” Fu Le took the lead and walked forward.
Upon seeing this, Luo immediately picked up the tattered bundle on the ground and followed Fu Le.
She had just drunk a glass of milk and felt a little stronger, but she was still very thirsty.
After walking a few steps, she saw the maid in front of her stop and hand her a water pouch. "Oh, this is from that corpse. It's full. You can drink from it." Madam Luo wanted the maid to drink a few sips before she drank herself.
“I’m not thirsty.” Fu Le stuffed the dirty water bag into Luo’s arms.
"Thank you." Luo accepted it with delight. "If you get thirsty, just ask your auntie for more. We have no family left. Let's just live like this from now on. Your auntie will be your mother." Luo's family and children all died on the road to escape famine. The reason she was still alive was because she was kidnapped by a tyrant before she died. Although she lost her innocence, the tyrant provided her with food for a few days, which is why she survived. The tyrant was killed on the fifth day after he captured her. The bandits who killed her ignored her, and she was lucky enough to escape. When she went back to find her husband, she learned that her whole family had been killed by refugees.
She continued to follow the large group fleeing the famine with her travel permit, and then found a little girl who was crying and fainting while holding her mother's body. In this way, they accompanied each other all the way and survived.
