Chapter 355: The Long-Haired Princess Is Extremely Shocked

Zheng Zhi's day at Qianfeng Lingshan was so rich and colorful that even Erin and Hu Li, listening from the sidelines, were a bit stunned; only Luna's reaction remained relatively calm—because she was usually just staring blankly anyway.

On the other hand, Yu Sheng felt he no longer needed to worry about this great-nephew at all. Although this unlucky fellow's high sensitivity and low stability made people's heads ache, perhaps it was precisely because of this constitution that his survival and adaptability stats were maxed out. Thrown into Qianfeng Lingshan for a single day, he had already met countless mountain disciples and thoroughly explored the area around the Cloud-Watching Terrace, living in perfect contentment. Yu Sheng felt that if he stayed two more days, this guy could even serve as his guide...

However, regarding Zheng Zhi's "living" situation here, he suddenly thought of a few other things.

Looking at the courier pickup station not far away, Yu Sheng stroked his chin thoughtfully: "Does your little house have water and electricity?"

"Right, speaking of which, I was just wondering about that too," Zheng Zhi scratched his head. "This house was moved here from the Borderland. By all rights, the water and electricity should have been cut off, yet the utilities are supplying normally inside. Moreover, as long as I stay indoors, the internet even connects to the Borderland's signal..."

Yu Sheng listened with a serious expression, though he felt no great surprise, only thinking, "As expected."

The moment this courier station was moved over along with No. 66 Wutong Road, he seemed to have already anticipated this situation.

"The 'characteristic' of No. 66 Wutong Road has spread to this 'outpost' as well?" Erin muttered. "What on earth is the principle behind this..."

"Have you checked the source of the water and electricity?" Yu Sheng looked into Zheng Zhi's eyes and asked with a serious face.

"I checked the electricity. It's cut off at the distribution box leading outside, but the break is strange; the wires don't look like they were cut, but rather the ends simply vanished into somewhere. As for the water, the pipes are buried underground, and the ground is heavily hardened. I dug a couple of times but couldn't move it, and I didn't dare dig deeper... after all, it's the Bureau's asset, and breaking it would mean a fine. As for the mobile signal, I have no idea what's going on; anyway, I can connect to the Border City network inside the house, but as soon as I step out, it shows 'Star Roaming,' and I have to connect to Qianfeng Lingshan's Wi-Fi..."

Yu Sheng nodded lightly and said nothing more.

It seemed that although Zheng Zhi was still a confused newcomer, he knew to perform some checks and explorations in a strange environment. He also tried to figure out the strange changes happening at his duty outpost, but obviously—the strangeness of No. 66 Wutong Road was not something so simple to understand.

"Brother Yu, do you know what's going on?" Seeing Yu Sheng stay silent for so long, Zheng Zhi asked curiously.

"Just treat it as a 'characteristic' of No. 66 Wutong Road. Your 'outpost' should now be pulled into the 'judgment range' of No. 66 Wutong Road. Calling it the 'security booth' of my house is indeed correct," Yu Sheng stroked his chin. "However, I can't explain the specific principle myself."

Saying this, he paused, then looked Zheng Zhi up and down.

Zheng Zhi felt a bit awkward under his gaze: "Brother Yu, what's wrong?"

Yu Sheng: "You can't see No. 66 Wutong Road, right? And you can't open its door?"

"Uh... if I have to say it, I can actually roughly feel where that house is. I even feel like I can see a vague shadow of it, but that might be an illusion?" Zheng Zhi hesitated a bit but still spoke honestly. "As for the door... that indeed cannot be opened; I can't even touch it."

Hearing this, Yu Sheng was shocked: "You can actually see a vague shadow?!"

"Yeah, I can see a little, just a tiny bit," Zheng Zhi scratched his head sheepishly. "But I didn't dare tell Brother Li; I was afraid he'd take me to Doctor Lin to have my brain cut out..."

"... You should have reported it to him; that would be more in line with regulations. But let's not talk about that for now," Yu Sheng waved his hand, then added casually, "Stick your hand out."

Zheng Zhi was stunned for a moment and extended his hand, not understanding why.

Yu Sheng then looked at Luna: "Stab me—just a small cut is fine."

Luna's hand moved and the blade fell, much more skilled than last time.

Zheng Zhi was startled on the spot, but before he could ask, he saw Yu Sheng extend his bleeding right hand and grasp his.

The warm blood transformed into invisible power, seeping and penetrating in the blink of an eye.

A few short seconds later, Zheng Zhi suddenly widened his eyes. He instinctively turned his head to look in the direction of No. 66 Wutong Road, stumbled slightly, and unconsciously took two steps back.

"Relax, take a deep breath—feeling surprised is normal. With your constitution, you should be quite familiar with this kind of 'suddenly seeing previously invisible things,'" Yu Sheng said with a smile from the side. "Now, you can touch and enter No. 66 Wutong Road."

Zheng Zhi finally realized what had happened, but when he looked at Yu Sheng, he felt a bit at a loss: "Brother Yu... is this appropriate? The Bureau told me to guard the station and not to approach No. 66 Wutong Road recklessly."

"It's just a 'visibility permission' anyway. Even if I lock the door, you still couldn't get in," Yu Sheng couldn't help but laugh seeing the other's lost expression. "The children of 'Fairy Tale' have this permission from top to bottom. You're at least the 'Inn's' security guard; a gatekeeper can't not even see where the door is, right. Later, I plan to open permissions for Li Lin and Xu Jiali too—after all, they are friends."

Zheng Zhi was stunned, not knowing what he was thinking, and was suddenly moved to tears right there...

Seeing this, Yu Sheng didn't say anything, only pondered briefly before speaking again: "By the way, there's another use for opening this permission for you. While you are on 'business trips' with No. 66 Wutong Road, if needed, you can even return to Border City—go back after work to buy things, or even go home after work."

This time, Zheng Zhi was truly confused: "... Huh?"

"The specific route is to enter through the main gate of No. 66 Wutong Road, go to the basement to find the door leading to the Valley Transport Hub, then from the Transport Hub to Fairy Tale Town. In the middle of the town, there is a door leading to the former site of the Fairy Tale Orphanage in Nancheng District of Border City," Yu Sheng rattled off a string of instructions to the other. "Push the door open and you're in Border City. The return route is the same."

Zheng Zhi listened, stunned, and only after a long while did he sort out this route and the fact that he could return directly to Border City by transferring through a few portals from Qianfeng Lingshan. He was completely shocked: "... This is possible?!"

Not to mention him, even Erin on Yu Sheng's shoulder widened her eyes after hearing this string: "So you can do it this way?!"

Yu Sheng stroked his chin: "I just thought of it suddenly. It seems my development of my abilities is still less than ten percent..."

After handling the matter of opening the "permission" for Zheng Zhi, Yu Sheng and the others returned inside No. 66 Wutong Road.

The familiar living room, the familiar TV, the familiar old floorboards and slightly faded wallpaper, and the familiar Erin watching TV on the sofa.

The moment they entered, that sense of relaxation and security of returning home arose spontaneously. A belated fatigue and the relaxation following it surged up, and this feeling even made Yu Sheng feel a bit... novel.

When moving through the pavilions and towers of Qianfeng Lingshan, when landing on Satellite Taiyou, and when facing those Charge Giant Divine Soldiers in that desert foreign land, he had no special feelings. But only now did he discover... that returning to the old sofa at No. 66 Wutong Road was such a comfortable thing.

"Ah, indeed, home is the most comfortable," Yu Sheng casually picked up Erin, who was sitting in the middle of the sofa, lay down on the sofa himself, and muttered with satisfaction.

Hu Li immediately ran to the bathroom. A moment later, the sound of water gushing out and the humming and rumbling of the washing machine came from inside.

"Don't stuff all eight tails in! The washing machine can't handle it!" Yu Sheng heard the commotion in the restroom, stretched his neck, and shouted, "At most five tails at a time!"

The fox girl's voice came through the door: "Ah, I know~"

"I still think we need to prepare a washing machine specifically for Hu Li to wash her tails," Yu Sheng slumped on the sofa and muttered. "Every time after she washes, when I do my laundry, it's all fur."

Erin, who had been picked up onto the sofa armrest, turned her head upon hearing this: "... Does a washing machine specifically for washing tails exist in this world?"

"There definitely isn't one specifically for washing tails. A few days ago I actually searched online and found a 'cat washing machine,' but it didn't seem to match my imagination."

Erin mumbled: "Speaking of which, aside from that tail refined into a warehouse, can't she regenerate her other tails at any time? Why does she have to wash them every time?"

Yu Sheng rolled his eyes: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

Just then, he heard rapid footsteps on the stairs leading to the basement, sounding like a drumbeat: thump, thump, thump.

Looking up, he saw the Long-Haired Princess rushing out from below in a hurry—the girl swept through the living room like a gust of wind, almost flying past Yu Sheng's eyes. While running, she shouted without looking back: "Brother, I'm borrowing the path! Please, please don't tell Little Red Riding Hood that I went out this way!!"

Yu Sheng hadn't even reacted before he saw the girl shoot up to the door in a flash. He had just started to say "Wait," but the other party had already pulled the door open and rushed out.

Leaving Yu Sheng and several Erins in the living room staring at each other.

After a while, Erin (Lotus) finally spoke up: "When do you think she'll shoot back?"

Yu Sheng shook his head: "Hard to say."

"... Could she have shot so fast that she fell off the Cloud-Watching Terrace?"

"That wouldn't matter. She's someone who can tear demons apart with her bare hands in hand-to-hand combat; rolling down the mountain would probably just result in a superficial injury."

"I'm afraid she'll hit someone and then get caught as a golden-haired monster invading the mountain gate—you'd still have to go rescue her."

Yu Sheng and Erin calmly chatted back and forth like this, and then, not long after, the two heard a "Bang!" sound from the direction of the entrance hall. The Long-Haired Princess shot back in like a fluffed-up Chow Chow.

"Brother, brother, brother..." The JK girl capable of tearing demons apart was clearly in a state of extreme shock. "Outside, outside, what in the world is going on..."

Seeing this, Yu Sheng chuckled: "Surprised? Didn't expect this?"

"What's happening!"
