Chapter 620: Chapter 374: Little Aunt Misses You, Come Quickly
"Huh?" ’Have I really been reborn?’ Luo Feifei wondered. ’Reborn again?’
Li Xiang stepped forward, wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her. In that moment, endless happiness and sweetness flooded Luo Feifei’s heart. ’Well, if I’ve been reborn, I might as well enjoy it for a bit.’
’No, this is all fake! I’m still on the Ancient Starry Sky Road!’ At the critical moment, Luo Feifei snapped back to reality. Her White Tiger Sword flew into action, unleashing a sharp ring of sword light, and the illusion instantly shattered.
She found that she was still her current self, not reborn at all. Instead, she was tangled in the tentacles of an octopus-like monster.
"So disgusting!" Such close proximity gave Luo Feifei the perfect opportunity to strike. Her Ice Spiritual Power bloomed, and countless crystal-clear Ice Lotuses erupted from her body, engulfing the octopus-like monster like a tidal wave.
Simultaneously, the Space-Time Anchor at the center of her forehead locked onto the weak point of its Divine Soul. The White Tiger Sword shot out, pierced its heart, and with a vicious twist and an upward pull, she activated her Sharpness Superpower, ripping the cosmic octopus monster in half.
It only looked like an octopus, not a species from Earth, and Luo Feifei didn’t know what it was. As the cosmic octopus monster’s dying wail faded away, the coordinates for Earth appeared in the Array Hub.
The Star Map within Luo Feifei’s Space-Time Anchor updated in sync, and the Solar System appeared on it. As an Earthling, she knew its layout like the back of her hand.
’Holy crap, am I home? This can’t be another illusion, can it?’
Luo Feifei calmed herself, carefully sensing and analyzing her surroundings, and finally confirmed that it was, in fact, Earth. She was home.
She went to the Array Hub and sent her Spiritual Power surging into the Teleportation Array. A moment later, with a flash of light, she appeared on top of a high mountain.
"This is... Mount Taishan!"
In the distance, the frozen South Celestial Gate stood in plain sight. Below it lay the famously winding Taishan Eighteen Bends.
’Mom, Brother Xiang, I’m finally back.’
’But... what year is it now? How are they doing?’ Luo Feifei took flight, only to find Earth a desolate wasteland. It was shrouded in black fog, dark and cold, with no sign of human life anywhere.
’Huh? Something’s strange about these Exotic Beasts. Why aren’t they attacking me?’
Little did she know, the Exotic Beasts within the country had all been subdued by Li Xiang. He had even taken their Saint Tier leaders as Spirit Pets and warned them never to attack humans.
Although Luo Feifei wore the Electric Light Illusion Armor, her graceful figure clearly identified her as a human.
Luo Feifei raced onward, passing many large cities that had all been reduced to ruins.
She arrived at their villa in Suzhou. The house was still standing, but it was cold and in disrepair after years of neglect. The floor-to-ceiling windows had frozen and cracked long ago.
The Grand Canal was also frozen solid. Her figure flickered and vanished into the icy river.
In water or ice, she was like a spirit. The moment she entered the frozen river, she moved through the ice without the slightest resistance, even faster than she could in space.
She activated her powerful Water Vein Perception Ability and began probing along the waterways. In an instant, she sensed the presence of numerous Underground Cities. This was because all the underground settlements were connected to these water veins.
The reservoirs that supplied drinking water to the Underground Cities were connected to underground rivers or surface water systems.
The Underground Cities were heavily defended. Even a Saint Tier Exotic Beast attempting to infiltrate through the water system would be detected.
But as a Water Spirit at the Peak of Divine Tier, Luo Feifei far surpassed ordinary Divine Tiers, to say nothing of a Saint Tier Exotic Beast. She slipped inside, completely undetected.
The Underground City she entered was the one built beneath the former Suzhou City.
Out of caution, she used her Spiritual Power to alter her appearance, slipping inside to gather intelligence on the current situation.
Those at the Divine Tier possessed the ability of Divine Communication and various other incredible Divine Techniques. Altering one’s appearance was a minor trick in comparison. She had planned to buy a Communication Device to get online, but she needed an ID chip, and she was effectively a ghost in the system.
She didn’t dare pull out her old ID, as it would cause a massive stir. She wanted to give her mom and Li Xiang a surprise.
Her powerful Spiritual Power spread out. The steps of a few nearby pedestrians faltered for a fraction of a second before returning to normal. They were ordinary people and didn’t even realize anything was amiss.
’So this is what Earth has become... City No. 03 is now the beacon of global civilization. Brother Xiang has reached the Divine Tier too. And that Jiang Cai’Er is incredible, managing to forge a completely new path.’
’It’s a good thing I didn’t reveal myself. Otherwise, Jiang Cai’Er would have detected me.’
Luo Feifei had gleaned the latest intelligence from the minds of those pedestrians. Amidst her shock, she was naturally happy for Li Xiang!
In truth, Li Xiang had never announced that he was at the Divine King Realm. But since he could subdue a Divine Tier King of Exotic Beasts, the world assumed he had reached the Divine Tier—and a particularly powerful, high-level one at that.
’Mom should be in City No. 03, too. I wonder if my old number still works?’ She pulled out her old cell phone, but it was, of course, long since unusable. The communication technology had been upgraded many times over.
Luo Feifei found a residential building and spotted a room where a young woman was using her Communication Device to binge-watch a very old show. It was a show she herself had starred in, which made her break into a knowing smile.
’Sorry about this, miss, but I’ll be borrowing your Communication Device.’
She unleashed her Spiritual Power, and a wave of drowsiness washed over the young woman. With a yawn, she slumped onto the table, fast asleep.
Luo Feifei materialized, picked up the woman’s Communication Device, and got online.
Since her old phone was useless, she didn’t call Li Xiang directly. Instead, she tried logging into her old Top Aunt account. To her surprise and delight, the account was still active!
And Li Xiang’s official and private accounts were still active too—and they were still following each other!
With a smile playing on her lips, she suppressed her excitement and sent Li Xiang a private message with trembling fingers: "Little Aunt misses you. Come quick. To my old house! You know the address—the one you used to send things to."
After sending it, she cleared the login data, placed the Communication Device back on the table, and glanced at the sleeping girl. Then she took out a bottle of Spirit Pills from the Frost Ash Alliance and set it on the table as payment.
These kinds of Spirit Pills were suitable for beginners. She could tell the young woman was only at the Extraordinary First Stage. With this bottle of pills, her training would accelerate dramatically, and her power would advance by leaps and bounds.
Luo Feifei left the Underground City and returned to her old house in Hang City.
The old house was half-collapsed, but the other half remained intact. Inside was a lot of the old furniture they hadn’t had time to move.
She tidied up a bit, took out a few candles and lit them, then quietly waited for Li Xiang to arrive.
She was confident that as soon as Li Xiang saw the message, he would come. Her Top Aunt persona still had that much pull. If it didn’t, she’d have to storm his place and give him a few good bites!
