Chapter 356: Long Hair Has Her Own Ideas

Sometimes, after opening too many chaotic doors, some very reasonable yet utterly unexpected situations inevitably occur; the eldest nephew dragged to Thousand Peaks Lingshan on his first day of work was one such case, and so was the Long-Haired Princess who was chased by Little Red Riding Hood through the valley, burst out of the main gate at No. 66 Wutong Road, and upon looking up, found herself face-to-face with the Long-Haired Princess of Cloud Sea Xianshan.

"I thought I hit my head when I pushed the door open," the Long-Haired Princess said, gulping down a drink while sitting behind the sofa, finally looking up during a brief pause to sip, "I was thinking the scenery I saw after fainting from the bump was quite nice, all misty and cloud-shrouded, looking just like the promotional video for Thousand Peaks Lingshan that someone reposted on the Border Communications... but I never expected it to actually be Thousand Peaks Lingshan?!"

Yu Sheng said nothing, just watching the girl with a half-smile, finding her terribly amusing.

The Long-Haired Princess didn't mind whether anyone responded, took another swig of her drink, then turned her head: "Brother, did you move?"

"... Your ability to adapt is quite high," Yu Sheng said, half-laughing and half-crying, "It's not possible that I just redirected the main gate, is it?"

The Long-Haired Princess widened her eyes, pointing a finger at the living room window not far away: "The view outside the window has changed!"

"You're quite observant," Yu Sheng chuckled, then waved his hand, "I just moved over a few days ago to meet a friend and, um, handle some business matters."

"Ah? Oh," the Long-Haired Princess held the drink bottle, sitting cross-legged on the sofa as if she understood everything, "So this is the 'inn' business model? Hmm, a mobile office can also be a form of mobile work... Great, I thought it was because Little Red Riding Hood said she wanted to move to another planet, and you guys came early to scout the location for her..."

Hearing the other person mention Little Red Riding Hood again, Yu Sheng finally couldn't hold back: "By the way, why are you still being chased by Little Red Riding Hood? Didn't she delete everything on your phone?"

The Long-Haired Princess sighed: "Wasn't it because she discovered my cloud storage?"

Yu Sheng: "Was it really necessary to keep a copy in the cloud storage too?!"

"I was afraid of losing it," the Long-Haired Princess rolled her eyes, glancing at Yu Sheng from the corner of her eye, "Just tell me, did you save one or not?"

Yu Sheng: "Then, speaking of which..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from behind: "Speaking of which, what?"

Yu Sheng turned his head and saw the short-haired girl in a red jacket smiling at him and the Long-Haired Princess beside him.

"Oh my—"

The Long-Haired Princess let out a shriek and jumped up, shooting toward the door like a bolt of golden lightning, but the moment she leaped, she was blocked head-on by a phantom that appeared out of nowhere, colliding solidly with a shadow wolf.

Little Red Riding Hood reached out, pinned her friend onto the sofa, and looked helplessly at her: "You really are..."

Saying this, she lightly flipped over the sofa backrest, sat cross-legged on the sofa as well, and looked up at Yu Sheng again: "You are too..."

"Part of growing up," Yu Sheng said with a stern face, speaking with great conviction, "People always go through three stages: writing youthful scar literature, having one's youthful scar literature discovered, and reconciling with one's own youthful scar literature..."

Little Red Riding Hood: "Delete it."

Yu Sheng: "Fine."

The Long-Haired Princess cautiously looked up at Yu Sheng, then at Little Red Riding Hood, confirmed she seemed to be in no mortal danger, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. With a mischievous grin, she poked her friend's arm with a strand of golden hair: "Don't be angry yet, look up and see outside."

"Outside?" Little Red Riding Hood, puzzled, looked up at the window, and then froze.

"We are now at Thousand Peaks Lingshan!" the Long-Haired Princess announced loudly, raising her hand dramatically, "An alien planet! Brother moved the house over to Xuanche's hometown!"

Little Red Riding Hood was still staring blankly out the window; two seconds passed after hearing the Long-Haired Princess's words before she reacted, her dazed gaze slowly settling on Yu Sheng, and after a long moment, she blurted out: "You actually moved the house over here!?"

Yu Sheng nodded: "Yeah."

This time it was the Long-Haired Princess's turn to be surprised; she looked at Little Red Riding Hood, then at Yu Sheng, her eyes darting: "Wait... Red Hat, you knew about this all along?"

"I heard him mention it last time," Little Red Riding Hood pointed at Yu Sheng, then at the window, "but I didn't expect him to actually do it."

"So you only kept it from me?" the Long-Haired Princess pouted, but clearly didn't care much. Instead, she lay on the sofa facing the window, staring blankly, and after pondering who knows what, suddenly lifted her body again, "Hey! I have an idea..."

Erin suddenly turned her head: "Why does that sound so familiar?"

"Tell the others about this news?" the Long-Haired Princess tugged Little Red Riding Hood's arm, her eyes sparkling, "The kids at home are preparing to organize an outing these past couple of days, and Bai Xue and the others are worried about where to go. After all, although there are many fun places in the valley, they can't really be called 'going out,' and the Border City doesn't have a better environment than that valley—I just saw a huge platform outside, like a square, with clouds and seas beyond, and mountains and water on the other side. Let's invite everyone to come out and play!"

Upon hearing this, Little Red Riding Hood's heart immediately fluttered; looking at the immortal mountain and spiritual clouds outside the window, her thoughts became active, so she turned to look at Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng, however, said nothing—although a flash of inspiration struck him after hearing the Long-Haired Princess's suggestion, as a mature, steady, and morally sound adult, he immediately realized another more serious issue.

"... Does doing this count as illegal border crossing?"

Then the entire living room fell silent.

A moment later, Erin was the first to break the silence; the small doll jumped directly onto Yu Sheng's neck, hugging the latter's head: "You, who open doors everywhere all day long, still have this concept?"

"I've been reporting every door I open lately!" Yu Sheng declared solemnly, "And what do you mean by 'opening doors everywhere'? Every time I open a door, isn't it for a fully justified and righteous reason? Besides, how can one person opening a door be the same as bringing dozens of people..."

The Long-Haired Princess tugged Yu Sheng's sleeve: "But Brother, we're just playing from the backyard to the front door of our house; this can't be called illegal border crossing, right?"

Little Red Riding Hood reminded from the side: "But our backyard is in the Borderlands, and the front door is in Thousand Peaks Lingshan..."

The Long-Haired Princess thought for a moment and corrected along: "Then if you say it that way, strictly speaking, the backyard is in the Otherworld Valley; there's a back door in the backyard that opens to the Borderlands. The front door is at No. 66 Wutong Road in the Otherworld, and the open space in front of the front door is Thousand Peaks Lingshan."

As Yu Sheng listened, his eyes widened: "... Whoa, it seems that's right... why is it so messy?"

"Ha, let you bug-glitch all day," Erin, sitting on the sofa armrest nearby, saw even Yu Sheng's expression become confused and laughed so hard she almost fell off, "Got yourself glitched, huh!"

Yu Sheng waved his hand: "Wait a moment, I'll consult with the person in charge here."

Saying this, he took out his phone, found Disciple Four Thousand on the Border Communications, and directly placed a voice call.

The other end answered very quickly, and Yuan Ling Zhenren's voice soon came through the receiver: "Yu Sheng?"

"I have a bit of a situation," Yu Sheng didn't beat around the bush, getting straight to the point, "I moved the house to Guanyun Terrace, and now some children at home want to come play, but they are currently still in the Borderlands, with no passports or permits. Does coming directly to your side count as illegal border crossing? Not going through customs, not crossing the border, just pushing a door out from my house..."

Silence fell on the other end of the phone.

Yuan Ling Zhenren, the Saint Hand of Talismans and Pills of the Great Void Star, a highly respected senior of the Immortal World, an outstanding medical theory researcher and inheritor, and a grandmaster of the Medical Riot Explosive Fist, now faced the same dilemma as the Director of the Borderlands Special Operations Bureau.

However, a master is a master; after a few seconds of silence, the True Person quickly responded: "First, this matter can be handled as a special case."

Then he paused, and added the second half: "Second, it seems you didn't go through the procedures when you arrived either."

Yu Sheng: "..."

He had actually forgotten that detail!

"After all, the situation is special; no one has ever traversed the borders using your method before. Roads are always tested out," Yuan Ling Zhenren continued, his tone now carrying a smile, "It's just a few children coming to visit; naturally, I welcome them. Let them come. I will arrange for disciples to go over shortly to register them, and then give each child a 'Reception Jade Tablet'—this is also to determine their location and prevent accidents, after all, my place has high mountains and deep forests, so it is necessary to be prepared for any eventuality."

"Then thank you very much," Yu Sheng became happy, "Then I'll have them wait on Guanyun Terrace first."

"Good," Yuan Ling Zhenren replied, then immediately remembered something and asked an additional question, "By the way, how many children do you have at home?"

"More than seventy."

The silence on the other end of the phone was deafening.

Yu Sheng quickly explained: "Not biological, they are from the orphanage. I am the 'head of the family' of the orphanage."

"Oh, I see," Yuan Ling Zhenren finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I will send my disciples over right away."

"Thanks, thanks!"

Yu Sheng thanked them repeatedly, then hung up the phone and looked up at Little Red Riding Hood and the Great Golden Retriever sitting on the sofa, both watching him with eager expressions—the Princess with Long Hair, sitting cross-legged on the sofa and wrapping herself in her hair, looked just like the Great Golden Retriever: "Alright, it's all settled."

The Princess with Long Hair's eyes lit up: "Can we go out and play now?"

"Yes, but for now you can only gather on the Cloud-Watching Terrace—that big platform outside, the one as large as a square," Yu Sheng nodded, and seeing her excitement, he couldn't help but go on listing instructions: "Someone will come to register you, and each of you must wear a Guiding Jade Tablet—it's something like a locator and a temporary ID. Only after putting it on can you move freely, but even when free to move, you must still follow orders. After all, this is someone else's home, especially don't wander randomly in the deep mountains and dense forests, and don't go near places that look like vegetable patches—that's their medicinal garden. Don't chase wild animals; they might be the final project of a Disciple from the Beast Taming Peak, or they might be Disciples from the Beast Taming Peak themselves..."

Before he could finish half his sentence, the Princess with Long Hair had already shot off the sofa in a flash of yellow light, racing toward the staircase while shouting: "Alright, alright, I know! Brother, you're as naggy as Red Riding Hood..."
