Chapter 397: Chapter 397 - 397 Stepping Into the Starry Sky Secret Realm

397 Stepping Into the Starry Sky Secret Realm

The yin and yang fish continued to grow, and finally, they filled half the pond.

The bottom of the pool had also completely turned into a yin and yang eight trigrams diagram.

The sailboat continued to swim in the pond, growing larger and larger.

Then, a beam of light shot up to the sky, reaching the clouds and connecting heaven and earth.

!!

Everyone was stunned. They raised their heads but could not see the source of the light pillar.

“Board the boat!”

The old man threw down his walking stick and jumped onto the deck.

Lan Luhu followed him closely, followed by Hu Taotao. Lu Benwei and the others also jumped onto the boat.

The sailboat was huge and had all the essentials. In addition to the kitchen, warehouse, power room, and watchtower needed for the voyage, there were also five lounges.

Three of the rooms were the most luxurious, while the other two only had a table and a single bed. One of the most luxurious rooms would definitely be reserved for the old man.

As for the ownership of the remaining four rooms, there was a dispute.

Lan Luhu rolled his eyes, then whispered something into Taotao’s ear. The two of them immediately smiled slyly and occupied two rooms.

“I snore when I sleep. I’ll sleep in my own room and won’t disturb you guys,” Lan Luhu said.

Hu Taotao also said, “I’m a light sleeper. I can’t be disturbed. So, I’ll just sleep in one room.”

Chu Yan was surprisingly not angry at the two’s overbearing behavior. She even turned a deaf ear to their words.

“Zining, it’s been a long time since we’ve squeezed under the same blanket. Let’s have a good chat tonight.”

“Alright!”

Li Tiancheng shrugged. “Lu Benwei, my sleeping posture isn’t very good. Do you mind?” he asked.

“Your sleeping posture is definitely not as good as mine!” Lu Benwei smiled.

The four of them completely treated them like air.

Lan Luhu and Hu Taotao felt a sense of defeat.

“Two big men sleeping together, how disgusting!” In the end, Hu Taotao could only roll her eyes and speak in an enigmatic tone.

At this time, the old man suddenly gave a command.

“Lu Benwei, put down the sail. Li Tiancheng, go and take charge of the helm. Chu Yan, Wang Zining, go to the power room and control the oars!”

Apart from Hu Taotao and Lan Luhu, Lu Benwei and the other three were assigned tasks.

“Senior, do we need to do anything?” The two were puzzled.

The old man coldly glanced at the two of them. “You’re not happy that I don’t want you two to work?”

When the two of them heard this, their hearts were filled with joy. Not doing any work was naturally excellent!

“Raise the sails, set sail!”

The sails were lowered, and the oars moved. The sailboat set sail and embarked on the starry road.

Lu Benwei put down the sail and was about to return to the deck. Then, he glanced outside the sailboat. They were not rising but sinking.

The two yin and yang fish at the bottom of the pool were like doors, already opened. Although they were descending, there was starlight shining inside.

This was a very dreamy scene. The city soon disappeared, and everyone arrived in the vast starry sky. The universe was vast, dotted with stars.

However, everyone was dissatisfied and disappointed. He had originally thought that the starry sky was vast and brilliant, but there were even more places without stars. It was just dead silence and darkness.

In the vast universe, there was endless silence. It was so quiet that it was terrifying, so quiet that it made people tremble.

Lu Benwei suddenly felt so small. The universe was vast and boundless.

It was like a drop in the ocean, like the home of the ancient people, where the three thousand worlds were, and the illusion of hundreds of millions of lightyears had disappeared.

At the same time, in Central Park of Canglong City, a middle-aged man was holding a bunch of keys, rushing to the center of the park.

Looking at the pillar of light that shot into the sky, he said in a daze, “Damn, that group of children opened the path to the stars by themselves?”

…

Lu Benwei and the others continued their journey through the boundless starry sky.

The old man moved a rattan chair over and sat on it leisurely, humming an unknown tune.

Li Tiancheng controlled the rudder and felt the silence of the universe.

In the power room, Chu Yan and Wang Zining paddled the oars, sweating.

Lu Benwei only had a few questions for the old man, and he sneaked up behind him.

“Senior…”

The moment he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the old man’s voice.

“Lu Benwei, go clean up my room. After you’re done, wipe the floor outside.”

Lu Benwei had no choice but to do as he was told.

Seeing that everyone was working, Lan Luhu felt that something was not right.

“Senior, do we need to do anything?”

The old man opened one eye and glanced at Lan Luhu.

“Go to my room and get a blanket. Also, bring out the small stove in my room.”

“Alright!”

...

Lan Luhu laughed and followed Lu Benwei to the old man’s room.

“Hehe, useless thing, only worthy of doing some odd jobs!” Lan Luhu said sarcastically as the two of them walked past each other.

“I hope so,” Lu Benwei replied with a smile.

Hearing that, Lan Luhu was so confused that he did not know how to respond. He glared at Lu Benwei and walked out with the stove and blanket.

…

After Lu Benwei finished cleaning up the old man’s house, half an hour had passed. Next, he had to follow the old man’s order and clean the deck.

At that moment, Lan Luhu had brought two folding stools out of nowhere. He sat beside the old man and started a conversation with him.

Meanwhile, Hu Taotao sat to the side and munched on melon seeds as she listened with relish to the old man describe the legend of his youth.

Lu Benwei glanced at Hu Taotao’s side and immediately caught her attention.

“Ouch!”

Hu Taotao suddenly cried out and scattered the melon seed shells in her hands all over the ground.

...

“I bit my tongue.”

Lan Luhu stood up from the folding stool and said with concern, “How could you be so careless?”

Lu Benwei looked at the melon seed shells on the ground and frowned slightly. He had already cleaned the entire area.

The ground was wet, and the melon seed shells were wet, making it even more difficult to clean.

Lu Benwei looked at Hu Taotao’s nonchalant expression and sneered in his heart. He had a good temper and did not want to stoop to their level, but did they really think he was a fool?

“Pick it up!” Lu Benwei said in a deep voice.

“What did you just say?” Hu Taotao put her hands behind her ears and asked jokingly. This was both contempt and a threat.

“I told you to pick it up!” Lu Benwei’s voice suddenly rose a few octaves.

Hu Taotao sneered and said, “What if I say no?”

“Splash!”

Lu Benwei turned the dirty water bucket over and covered Hu Taotao’s head!

The dark, dirty water flowed down her beautiful face and down to her ankles.

Both Lan Luhu and Hu Taotao were stunned.

However, this was not the end!
