Chapter 213: 212 Actually It

Because Di Yi Tian Wu was coming, Wang Wu naturally stopped his work and kept waiting inside the spaceship.

After all, Di Yi Tian Wu is an official figure, and not an ordinary one, because he is the deputy city lord of Yunguang City.

In front of the other person, it's better not to do certain things on one's own heat.

To know, the highest official Wang Wu ever dealt with in his previous life might have been… uh, that's digressing.

In short, although in this world he has even seen the emperor, Laozi, and immortals, when greeting a deputy mayor from his hometown Earth, Wang Wu still got nervous.

Not only did he do nothing, he even gave the jade tray a quick clean inside and out, dispersing all the odors.

As long as Di Yi Tian Wu doesn't go to the immigration office's restroom, he shouldn't encounter any particularly absurd situations here.

Monsters still need to eat, drink, defecate, and urinate; although infrequently, true‑realm monsters also need to excrete. Of course, monsters and humans above the true realm no longer need to do such things.

Wang Wu once went to the immigration office's restroom; it didn't smell like the public toilets back home, but it had another scent he was very familiar with.

Moreover, the restroom here is unisex, not separated by gender.

So, calling it a restroom, actually… uh, that's not right, it's still a restroom, just… an installation…

"Welcome, welcome!"

Wang Wu opened the hatch and enthusiastically welcomed Di Yi Tian Wu into Long Qing's spaceship; the three of Long Qing, for some reason, didn't seem to want to meet Di Yi Tian Wu, so the only monster greeting him was Wang Wu.

"Your place is quite developed, huh."

Unlike Yin Shenli, who likes to belittle others upon meeting, Di Yi Tian Wu, being a righteous person, naturally wouldn't start trash‑talking a foreign country as soon as he arrives.

Of course, his view that Wind Country is developed is not mere politeness but sincere.

Because the level of development in Wind Country truly exceeded his expectations.

Whether it's Wang Wu's Earth or Di Yi Tian Wu's Earth, the civilizations that emerged are technological. Although their new‑human civilization possesses extraordinary powers, fundamentally it is still a technological civilization.

And since it's a technological civilization, their fantasies about a "supernatural world" naturally follow a certain pattern.

Yes, although Di Yi Tian Wu's Earth now has a supernatural civilization, in the fantasy works here, a pure "supernatural world" should be a society with extremely high individual martial power yet extremely low productivity.

Clearly, top‑tier elites already possess universe‑destroying abilities, yet ordinary people in their civilization still lead pastoral lives, which is indeed hard to swallow.

Di Yi Tian Wu also enjoys reading online novels, so when he arrived at Wang Wu's place and saw the level of development, it indeed surprised him.

Di Yi Tian Wu hasn't read many online novels from the old Human Empire era, because he, unlike City Lord Wu He and his brother Wu Yun, was naturally born as a new human in the new era.

Although the city's database also stores a large amount of old‑era cultural works, Di Yi Tian Wu has no interest in those ancient literatures.

Di Yi Tian Wu's education is relatively high; unlike most martial athletes, he graduated from university and holds a master's degree, placing him near the top of the martial‑personnel education hierarchy.

Because he has little interest in academia, Di Yi Tian Wu naturally didn't pursue a doctorate; he finished his master's and entered the workforce.

"My first job was as a lathe operator in Yunguang City's No. 5 Industrial Group's Third Production Workshop; the monthly salary was eight thousand Yunguang Coins. I didn't like the job, so I quit after two years."

"I've loved cooking since childhood; becoming Yunguang City's top chef has been my lifelong dream. After resigning from the Third Production Workshop, I apprenticed under Yunguang City's chef deity Ding Dahu and became his disciple."

"I studied under Ding Dahu for about ten years. As a trainee, I worked at his restaurant for ten years—learning techniques the first two years, cooking from the third, and by the fifth year I had become the head chef of Ding Dahu's tavern."

"At that time, Xie Tian Wang was also a disciple under Ding Dahu, and he rose to head chef faster than I did."

"Back then our relationship was fairly good; we learned from each other daily, sparred, and improved together—not just in cooking but also in martial arts."

"Until something happened later, the two of us became mortal enemies and have not spoken since."

In the jade tray's reception hall, Di Yi Tian Wu held a cup of hot tea, sipping it while recounting his past to Wang Wu.

Wang Wu originally wasn't interested in the story; when he saw the middle‑aged man take a sip and show a nostalgic expression, Wang Wu felt uneasy.

But there was no choice; the other was a guest, he was the host, so he had to grit his teeth and listen.

The bored middle‑aged man reminisced, which Qin Xiang often did.

However, what Wang Wu didn't expect was that Di Yi Tian Wu's storytelling was actually quite good, at least far better than his master Qin Xiang's.

He has shoulder‑length blue hair, a resolute and upright aura, and a face that's the epitome of a strikingly handsome man.

One must admit, Di Yi Tian Wu could instantly outshine his master and Assassin Brother just by appearance, because a single glance gives a feeling of ten‑thousand‑fold reassurance.

Though this may slight Assassin Brother and Master Qin Xiang, Wang Wu, as a kind lawful monster, indeed holds a better impression of Di Yi Tian Wu, who is also lawful good.

"Are you lawful good? I think I am."

"But I feel you two have always gotten along well?" When Di Yi Tian Wu said that, Wang Wu, while pouring tea, asked curiously, "He was the one who brought you here, right? I saw you still tugging with him when you got off the vehicle."

"Damn it, that beast! Who's on good terms with him!?" Wang Wu's words instantly made Di Yi Tian Wu's face flush, veins popping on his neck.

"Damn, the car is so broken and old, and damn, it smells so bad; this idiot still has the nerve to ask me for a tip—what a damn beast!"

"But I saw you still gave it, didn't you?"

"I was pitying him!" Di Yi Tian Wu stroked his beard and glared, "It was an insult, understand? An insult!"

"Uh, fine." Wang Wu nodded, "But I still think you two get along well."

"I said we don't get along!!!"

"Whatever." Wang Wu shrugged.

It's clear that Di Yi Tian Wu and Xie Tian Wang are indeed a pair of love‑hate siblings, like blood‑unrelated brothers. Wang Wu's relationship with his own younger brother and sister is the same.

Ask whether the relationship is good? It's definitely not, since they fight and torment each other as soon as they meet.

But if you ask whether you'd help them if something happens, whether you'd worry—no need to say; if there's no danger, you'd kick them when they're down; if there is danger, you'd definitely step up.

After all, as an older brother, Wang Wu naturally must protect his younger siblings.

After being away from home for so long, Wang Wu no longer harbors such hatred toward his brother and sister; instead, he occasionally longs for the days they spent together.

Thus, after hearing the story between Di Yi Tian Wu and Xie Tian Wang, Wang Wu felt a sense of kinship.

"So true." Wang Wu smiled, looking at the still‑bearding, glaring Di Yi Tian Wu.

"What's so true?"

"Your relationship with Xie Tian Wang reminds me of those two brutes in my family."

"You have younger brother and sister at home?" Di Yi Tian Wu asked.

"Yes." Wang Wu nodded, "One brother, one sister, but our relationship is terrible; when we meet it's either fighting or tormenting each other."

"I can tell the relationship is pretty good."

"Yeah, just like yours with the Evil Heavenly King," Wang Wu nodded again.

"I already said, our relationship is terrible!!!"

Wang Wu shrugged and, no longer dwelling on the issue, asked:

"So what happened later that made your relationship this bad now?"

"I..."

When asked that, Diyi Tianwu hesitated for a moment, then said, "This..."

"It's fine." Seeing Diyi Tianwu's attitude, Wang Wu waved his hand indifferently, "Brother Tianwu, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to; it's no big deal."

"Actually, it's something about feelings."

"You two fell for the same woman?"

"More or less," Diyi Tianwu nodded, "Ding Dahuo's daughter, my first love. That's why we turned against each other."

"She's your current wife, right?"

"She's his wife."

"Snort..." Wang Wu almost couldn't hold it in, but Diyi Tianwu obviously didn't care; having said it, he wouldn't mind others' reactions.

So he continued:

"Back then we were both courting Ding Dahuo's daughter, but that bastard, that animal, used some trick while courting and somehow made Ding Lingling obsessed with him. She originally should have liked me, should have had feelings for me!!!"

"That guy must have used some forbidden technique to make Ding Lingling so infatuated with him!"

"I mean..." Seeing Diyi Tianwu gritting his teeth, Wang Wu hesitated a moment and then asked:

"I'm asking if there's a possibility—maybe Ding Lingling actually liked the Evil Heavenly King from the start, not you?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!" Diyi Tianwu, hearing Wang Wu's words, sprang up from the ground, nearly smashing through the ceiling.

"From the moment we first saw Ding Lingling to her obsession with the Evil Heavenly King was less than three days. How could she fall for him so quickly in such a short time??!!"

"Umm, love at first sight?"

"Impossible!!!"

Wang Wu fell silent, knowing his words were useless.

He was probably a bit delusional about this matter and unwilling to accept the truth.

"But if it were only that, it wouldn't be enough to turn us into strangers and enemies." Diyi Tianwu didn't seem intent on lingering on the issue; after a moment of silence, he continued:

"In fact, the real cause of our fallout and complete rupture was another matter."

"What is it?"

"Our master." At that point, Diyi Tianwu's tone grew heavy:

"Our master was assassinated thirteen years after I entered the sect."

"And the assassin was the Evil Heavenly King."

Wang Wu said nothing, only nodded,

The name Evil Heavenly King sounded wicked, so Wang Wu wasn't surprised at his actions at all.

However, his first impression of him was actually quite good; despite the odd makeup, the aura he exuded was the same as what Diyi Tianwu gave Wang Wu.

He can be dealt with, this person.

Wang Wu even found him more pleasant to look at than Diyi Tianwu.

"But that's not why we went separate ways."

It was the next sentence that made Wang Wu lose his composure a bit.

"So what exactly is it?" Yet Wang Wu remained cultured, not mocking, his face still bearing an expectant expression.

"It's his wife, our master Ding Dahuo's wife."

"The things Ding Dahuo did were indeed despicable, and at the time I was also prepared to do the same, but I didn't intend to assassinate him; I wanted to confront him directly and kill him." Diyi Tianwu continued.

"After the Evil Heavenly King assassinated Ding Dahuo, I only had a slight objection to his act, but our relationship remained good."

"Until Ding Dahuo's wife appeared."

"He carved Ding Dahuo's wife."

"Pfft..." Wang Wu, who was drinking tea, spat out a mouthful.

"Carved? Carved?"

"Carved it," Diyi Tianwu nodded at Wang Wu.

"But didn't you say Ding Dahuo's daughter..."

"Both of them liked the Evil Heavenly King," Diyi Tianwu said.

"..." Wang Wu said nothing, because he didn't know what to say, since he also... um, kids, he never did it.

"But this sort of thing isn't really important; although it could have a bad social impact, it's legal on our side."

Cloud Light City also practices polygamy, so the Evil Heavenly King's affair is completely legal there.

"Then how exactly did you part ways???"

Finally, faced with the frantic "not because of that" Diyi Tianwu, Wang Wu could no longer hold back.

"Ah, the situation with your master is bad; I need to go over there."

But at that moment, Diyi Tianwu suddenly grabbed his phone, looked at Yin Shenli's livestream, and said to Wang Wu:

"She's getting a bit out of line; I need to go beat your wife so she'll calm down."

"..."

Wang Wu said nothing, just remained silent.
