Chapter 481

Intense light.

It made Wu Xian unable to open his eyes.

But beneath his feet was soft sand; he heard the sound of waves and the cries of seagulls, and his nose caught the salty, fishy scent of seawater.

He forced his eyes open to see a vast expanse of azure; the sea and sky merged into a single line. A few seagulls flew past, and a hawksbill turtle, startled by someone, scurried in panic into the sea.

"This place..."

The sand was mixed with bits of seashells, the seawater was so clear one could see to the bottom at a glance, and the sky was so limpid it could almost rival the Li Hen Tian. Looking slightly further into the distance, one could even see colorful coral reefs in the water, along with equally colorful fish.

Such a beach is basically impossible to see in reality anymore, and the few places with similar scenery are overcrowded.

Jian Lingyu exclaimed, "I never thought I would see such scenery in a Fudi."

Du E took a fancy to a beautiful seashell, but out of vigilance toward the Fudi, she only poked it with the cane she carried, not daring to pick it up.

Shi Ji scanned his surroundings, thinking that if one could take a dump here, it would truly be a great fortune in life.

Wu Xian, however, felt that if he could bring his own cats and dogs to frolic on the beach, the picture would be even more beautiful.

Wei Dian joked, "If you had told me earlier that there was such a beautiful beach here, I would have changed my clothes."

Yu Rang pushed up his sunglasses.

"I have been saying all along that this is a vacation, a benefit given to you by the Chenghuangsuo, but you have been suspicious all along. Can you blame me for that?"

"If the scenery here wasn't truly excellent, I wouldn't have bothered to enter the Fudi with you."

After saying this.

Yu Rang took out a pull-string signal flare and pulled it toward the sky, sending a green light flying upward.

"In a while, the Fudi's indigenous people will come to pick us up. Their attitude will be very enthusiastic, and you will see many things you have never seen before, but there is no need to be surprised. This is all you deserve, and you will also pay for this treatment."

The group waited by the beach for a while.

Then a motorcade drove up.

There were over thirty vehicles in the motorcade, each with a different color and model, but it was clear they were all quite luxurious. The motorcade stopped by the roadside, and handsome men and beautiful women stepped out of the cars one by one.

"This Fudi will last for ten days. Each of you can choose a car and a driver to serve as your transport for your life in this Fudi."

"The cars will first take you to the hotel. You can look at this city on the way, and after arriving at the hotel, I will answer all the questions you raise."

After Yu Rang finished speaking, he walked toward a slender blonde lady, familiarly wrapped his arm around her waist, and the two entered a stretch limousine together.

Wei Dian was the first to adapt to the situation and smilingly chose a car.

Shi Ji also wanted to pick a girl, but was glared at by Liao Yifang, so he could only choose a sports car with a male driver.

The group quickly made their choices, and those who were thin-skinned were half-pushed and half-pulled into the cars by the drivers.

Wu Xian chose a car that looked like it had more horsepower; the interior decorations were also top-tier, and the driver was a girl with neat short hair.

"My lord envoy, how would you like me to address you?"

"Wu Xian."

"Very well, Mr. Wu. I am your exclusive driver, Yan Yan Shi Lan. You can address me in any way you like. I will try my best to satisfy any of your needs, except for depriving me and others of our lives."

"Here, you don't need to worry about any moral constraints from your original world; just indulge and enjoy yourself to the fullest."

Yan Yan Shi Lan's attitude was so humble it was almost pitiful.

As the car started, Wu Xian looked at the scenery outside the window. Every bit of the landscape was breathtaking; the infrastructure had reached the level of a top-tier scenic spot, but apart from the motorcade, there were basically no other people on the road. Soon, the car entered the city.

The roads in the city were smooth, and the pedestrians on the street were all dressed in crisp clothing, but when Wu Xian looked closely, he discovered that the vast majority of people on the road looked malnourished.

The shops on both sides of the road were also very beautiful, even sacrificing practicality for the sake of aesthetics.

There were amusement parks, shooting ranges, opera houses, cinemas, shopping malls, large bathhouses...

But even with so many entertainment facilities, one could not see much happiness on people's faces. When pedestrians saw the motorcade, their eyes all focused on it; some wanted to run closer, until they were driven away by guards in uniforms using electric batons, preventing them from blocking traffic.

Apart from entertainment shops, the most common things in the city were statues of gods. All the statues were of the same person: an old man in ancient costume wearing a blue hat.

This old man should be the main belief of this city.

Additionally, on the other side of the city, there was a protruding mountain. The mountain body was flesh-colored, without grass or trees, and looked somewhat out of style with other places in this world.

Just from these things seen now.

It made Wu Xian realize that the development of this city was deformed.

It was unknown what kind of changes had occurred to make it look so twisted now.

The city was not large.

The motorcade soon arrived at the group's residence in this Fudi, the Bliss Hotel.

The style of the Bliss Hotel was somewhat similar to Western palace architecture, occupying a huge area; the lawn was large enough to be used as a football field, the interior decoration was extremely luxurious, and the hotel was located in the very center of the city.

The group got out of the cars one by one and gathered in the luxurious lobby of the hotel, where the floor was polished until it reflected people, and all kinds of fresh flowers were placed around.

The drivers took the initiative to help carry the luggage into the guest rooms.

Yu Rang gathered everyone together: "I think you have discovered quite a few things on the way, so I will introduce it straight to the point."

"This city is called Bliss City, the only human city in this Fudi world. All the living people in the world live in this city."

"The biggest task for everyone in the city is to bring a good travel experience to the Lotus Juanren, even if this experience affects their own health and dignity."

Liao Yifang felt somewhat uncomfortable listening to this.

"This is a bit too degrading to people, isn't it? Why did it become like this?"

Wu Xian answered.

"Because of food, I suppose."

"I saw outside that all the residents of this city are sallow and emaciated, clearly in the midst of a famine."

Shi Ji was stunned: "That's impossible, right? The natural environment here is so good, how could there be nothing to eat? Could it be that the Mayor of Bliss is not acting like a human?"

Yu Rang shook his head: "It's not like that."

"After the Fierce God was sealed, its cells scattered to all parts of the world, affecting all matter within the world. Don't look at how prosperous everything looks here; in fact, everything edible in this world is poisonous!"

"Once you eat an excessive amount of local food, your body will be occupied by the Fierce God's cells, becoming a puppet of the Fierce God and turning into a twisted shape, so everyone here is starving!"

Du E was thoughtful: "In that case, the food source for Bliss City should be us."

Yu Rang nodded.

"That's right. The food source for the residents of this world is the Yin Merit you brought when you entered the Fudi!"
