Chapter 776

At this moment, in Dazhuang City, in a high-end residential area in a prosperous urban district.

Zheng Yaoyao, who had just hung up the phone, was excited. She had thought that after Li Yi disappeared that time, he would never come back. She didn't expect that after several years, she would actually receive a call from Li Yi.

She then secretly rejoiced that fortunately, she hadn't changed her number; otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have received this call.

"Li Yi should be coming to Dazhuang City soon. I have to prepare quickly." Zheng Yaoyao immediately began to tidy up and dress up, wanting to see this friend from another world in the best state.

However, just as she was picking out clothes in the bedroom.

Suddenly.

A muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the calm sky, and then a familiar voice came from the living room.

"Is this your new home? It looks good. You must have made a lot of money these years."

Hearing this voice, Zheng Yaoyao, who was picking out clothes in the bedroom, was startled, and then realized it. She ran out in a hurry. She looked at Li Yi sitting on the sofa and opened her eyes wide instantly.

She couldn't believe that Li Yi, who was still talking to her on the phone just now, had actually appeared in the living room at home a few dozen seconds later.

She hadn't heard any knocking on the door, nor had she heard any window breaking. She didn't even know how Li Yi had gotten in.

"You, how did you arrive so quickly?" Zheng Yaoyao was shocked.

Fortunately, when she knew Li Yi before, she knew that Li Yi had extraordinary power, so she was somewhat prepared in her heart. If it were someone else, they would probably have been scared into fainting.

"My cultivation is much deeper than before, so traveling is relatively faster. There's no need to make a fuss. After all, after many years, everyone will have some changes." Li Yi said with a calm expression.

Zheng Yaoyao patted her chest at this moment, calmed her mood, and then sized up Li Yi.

His appearance was still the same as before, unchanged, still young and handsome. But his height had changed; he was taller and stronger than before, and there were many lightning-like patterns on his body, like tattoos, adding a few points of wild aura.

"You actually haven't aged." Zheng Yaoyao discovered a blind spot and said with surprise and envy.

Time had indeed not left any traces on Li Yi, but it had made Zheng Yaoyao, who was once in the prime of her youth, a mature woman now.

"People who cultivate don't age easily." Li Yi said: "You are actually still staying in Dazhuang City? Didn't I suggest you go back to your hometown to hide? Aren't you afraid of encountering ghosts?"

Zheng Yaoyao said: "I did go back to my hometown to hide, but after hiding for two years, I didn't hear that there were any ghosts in Dazhuang City. It was only after another two years that I dared to return to Dazhuang City to work. Later, after confirming that there was no danger, I bought a house in this city and settled down."

"You mean that as the years passed, supernatural events became fewer and fewer?" From Zheng Yaoyao's experience as an ordinary person, it was not difficult for Li Yi to judge some changes in the situation.

"It should be like this. Anyway, in the years I've lived in Dazhuang City, I haven't heard of any place where ghosts are causing trouble and killing people." Zheng Yaoyao recalled and said: "Because nothing happened, I lived and worked with peace of mind."

Li Yi pondered: "It seems that in the few years after I left, this world has undergone some changes that I don't know about. But this should be a good thing; otherwise, you ordinary people couldn't have lived so comfortably."

Whether a world has disasters is most directly observed by looking at the lives of the residents of a city.

If ordinary people can live very well, it means that this world is very peaceful and comfortable.

On the contrary, if the No. 36 world were really full of supernatural events and evil ghosts, the residents in the city would definitely live hard lives and couldn't be so stable.

"I have always been asking about ghosts, but I don't have any ability, so I can't ask for much information. So I'm afraid I can't help much with this point." Zheng Yaoyao said with some embarrassment.

Li Yi said: "It doesn't matter. I'm just here to see old friends and see that you are still living well."

He didn't expect to get any information from Zheng Yaoyao either.

"By the way, after so many years, you still haven't started a family? I only sensed your aura here. Looking at it like this, you should be living alone. This won't do. You're not young anymore, you should start a family early. After all, youth is very short."

Zheng Yaoyao pouted instantly: "How come people from other worlds also urge marriage? A few days ago, my mother said she wanted to introduce me to a partner, but I refused. Forget it, let's not talk about this. It's rare to meet, Li Yi. Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal. Wait for me, I'll change my clothes and we'll set off."

She then invited him enthusiastically again.

Li Yi did not refuse. He had just crossed the border, and his state was not very good, so he also needed to rest for a few days.

Zheng Yaoyao, with an excited mood, immediately put on makeup, changed into a sexy outfit, and then went out with Li Yi.

Although many years had passed, after seeing Li Yi again, she was still full of trust in him.

After a moment.

The two walked out of the residential area and walked on the bustling street.

"Hey, Li Yi, what have you been doing these years? Can you tell me?" Zheng Yaoyao asked Li Yi about his experiences over the years while walking. "Fighting, cultivating, fighting, cultivating—nothing special." Li Yi said: "Your world has returned to peace, but my world hasn't. It's still in chaos, with demons, monsters, and ghosts everywhere. It's hard to survive without strong strength."

"Ah, so terrifying?" Zheng Yaoyao was very surprised: "Then why do you still go back? Just stay here. My house has many rooms. Why don't you live in my house from now on? And I won't charge rent."

She then looked forward to it with some expectation.

If she could keep Li Yi in this world, that would be great.

Li Yi said: "It's hard to leave one's homeland. Not everyone will abandon their hometown and go far away. I am trying to save my hometown."

"Then you are truly very hard-working." Zheng Yaoyao sighed. She could imagine that for the sake of his hometown, Li Yi was running around, fighting enemies, and working hard to cultivate. And several years had passed in a flash, and he still hadn't been able to complete his wish.

"My hardship is nothing." Li Yi said: "But this world is really good without the supernatural. I rarely see such a stable world."

His words revealed his love for the current situation of this world.

It was just that Li Yi also understood that the ghosts of this world were still there, just like an iceberg, hidden in the depths, not floating to the surface.

"If you like it here, you can come often, or you can stay for a longer time. It just so happens that I have nothing to do, so I can accompany you to travel around and see the sights." Zheng Yaoyao said with a smile.

"If I could be so leisurely, that would be great." Li Yi shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Zheng Yaoyao had to change the subject and talk about something else.

However, just as the two were passing by a traffic light at an intersection, Li Yi suddenly stopped his footsteps.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Li Yi not moving, Zheng Yaoyao asked curiously immediately.

But very soon, she discovered that Li Yi's gaze carried a bit of solemnity as he looked at the opposite side of the crosswalk.

It was a red light at this moment.

Under the traffic light on the other side of the road, a woman was standing there at some point. The woman had a graceful figure, was wearing a red cheongsam, and was stepping on a pair of red high heels.

It gave people a kind of alternative, strange sense of beauty.

"Who is that person?" This question immediately emerged in Zheng Yaoyao's mind. But very soon, a certain feeling told her that that woman was very unusual.

She was out of place with normal people.

Could it be... A bad guess emerged in her heart.

And at this moment, the woman wearing the red cheongsam was revealing a faint smile, looking toward this side—no, to be precise, she was looking at Li Yi.

"It looks like we can't eat the meal. I have something to do and have to leave first." Li Yi said.

"It doesn't matter, we can eat the meal anytime. Li Yi, your business is more important." Zheng Yaoyao nodded seriously, then whispered: "Be careful and pay attention to safety."

"Alright." Li Yi replied.

The red light ended, and the green light turned on. The flow of people on both sides of the road gathered, and Li Yi walked into it.

Zheng Yaoyao did not follow, because this kind of thing was not something she, an ordinary person, could participate in, so she stayed in place very sensibly.

The woman in the red cheongsam on the opposite side did not take any action and was still standing there with a smile on her face.

It was just that as people came and went, in the process of a short visual obstruction, the woman in the cheongsam on the other side of the road disappeared, and along with her, Li Yi, who had mixed into the crowd, also disappeared.

Two people, just like this, disappeared abruptly in broad daylight. Moreover, apart from Zheng Yaoyao, not a single person noticed this point. And Zheng Yaoyao, who saw this scene, looked up at the sky at this moment.

Although the sunlight was good, she didn't know why she felt an inexplicable chill in her body.

She could understand Li Yi disappearing—after all, he was a person from another world and possessed extraordinary power. But that woman in the cheongsam was not a person from another world.

"Is it a supernatural event?" Zheng Yaoyao shivered inexplicably.

She hadn't encountered such a thing for so many years. She had thought that supernatural events had completely disappeared from life. She didn't expect that the real supernatural was mixed in by her side, just that it was difficult for ordinary people to notice.
