Chapter 228 The Way of Heaven
Liu Mubai certainly couldn't tell Zhou Yanchuan his true purpose, after all, those who are not of his kind are bound to have different intentions.
Although he was in human form, he still had the soul of a snake. Besides, since people couldn't become spirits after the founding of a nation, and he wasn't stupid, how could he so easily expose his and the fox's true identities?
"I came to see her because I wanted to be friends with her, what else could it be?" Liu Mubai didn't have any ill intentions towards Xiao Jiu; he just wanted her to help him get home.
Zhou Yanchuan didn't hear it that way. He knew that the girl he liked was very charming, and now another rival had appeared. Zhou Yanchuan felt depressed. He hadn't even won her over yet, and now there was another person who liked her.
He was quite a bit older than the girl, and it seemed that apart from spending more time with her, he didn't have any other significant advantages. This was the first time Zhou Yanchuan had felt inferior because of matters of the heart.
"Don't disturb her life in real life. If you like her, you can watch her in the live stream, but don't bother her in real life." Zhou Yanchuan felt a pang of sadness. He said this to others, but he himself did not do it.
He couldn't wait to see the girl he liked more often; he couldn't help but want to see her. When you like someone, you really can't help but miss her.
However, Zhou Yanchuan has tried his best not to disturb Jiu Jiu's normal life.
Aside from their last encounter, he hasn't taken the initiative to appear in front of Jiu Jiu again. This is mainly because he recently discovered that the others are keeping an eye on each other, and he's afraid that if he disrupts their rhythm, they'll all follow suit and try to bump into Jiu Jiu.
This makes his advantage even smaller. It's not that he lacks confidence, it's just that the others are equally excellent. Don't ask him how he knows, just say it's his financial power.
Liu Mubai wasn't worried that Zhou Yanchuan would do anything bad to him. After all, Zhou Yanchuan's family background was what it was. Although it couldn't compare to Zhoujiaba, it wasn't someone who could be easily manipulated. This was a society governed by law, not like in novels.
He could tell that he couldn't get close to Fox today, so he decided to continue harassing her on WeChat. He figured he could prevent her from seeing him and make her come to him instead; there's always a way to overcome difficulties.
Liu Mubai didn't go home either, but instead found a hotel and planned to stay there for a while, since he had plenty of time. Nothing was more important than going home. As for whether he would miss his current family, he could tell you for sure that snakes were cold-blooded animals; how long could they possibly spend with these people?
There wasn't that deep of a relationship. Besides, because of his bad luck, although his family hadn't abandoned him, they hadn't had much contact with him. Moreover, he thought that the reason these people hadn't abandoned him was not only because of that shallow family affection, but also because they shared the same thoughts as those people in his circle, believing that his bad luck was linked to his family's good fortune.
However, he didn't care whether his family treated him sincerely or not. Come on, he was a snake, not a real person. From the time he was born and had memories, he didn't remember his parents. He wasn't like a human who would have such deep feelings for his parents.
He didn't really feel comfortable in this world. Apart from the abundance of delicious food, everything else was just average. Although the place he lived in before wasn't as luxurious as this world, and could even be described as dilapidated, it was still the place where he had lived for hundreds of years.
They say there's no place like home, and he felt that no matter how nice this place was, it couldn't compare to his own dilapidated cave.
I wonder if any animals have taken over my home since I've been gone so long. The more I think about it, the sadder I get. When will I be able to go home?
No, since he couldn't see the fox today, he would continue to talk to the world consciousness.
World Consciousness: Seriously, why is this a chattering snake? I've never seen a snake as talkative as him.
Liu Mubai had nothing to do during the day, so he kept cuing the world consciousness, asking it to give him more hints on how to get the fox to send him home.
The world consciousness was so engrossed in his constant nagging, "I want to go home, I want to go home," that even its expressionless face showed annoyance. How could someone be so talkative?
Doesn't he feel thirsty? He's so talkative, even blocking his words doesn't help. He's too eager to go home. Even if you block his human speech, you can still hear his snake language. It's better to listen to human speech. The hissing sound keeps coming to my ears, and it's not much better than before.
The world consciousness was so annoyed that it had no choice but to ask Xiao Jiu to act as a mediator. It wasn't that it was being lazy; it was just that it was really inconvenient for it to go to Xiao Jiu's world again.
The main reason is that a few years ago it secretly created a clone and went there, causing some minor trouble in that world. Otherwise, it wouldn't have rushed back in such a hurry, and it didn't even notice that it brought him back.
The world consciousness of that world, which is also the Heavenly Dao, is much older than me. In the human world, it is still a child. Children are bound to cause trouble, and here it is, it has caused a small trouble.
It was afraid of being caught by that Heavenly Dao and having its parents called in. After all, it was now a Heavenly Dao, managing a world. How could it possibly be called in by its parents? That would be too embarrassing. If its former friends knew, they would definitely laugh at it.
Above are three thousand great worlds, where its parents reside; below are three thousand small worlds, where these little celestial beings dwell. Before they were successfully conceived, they were all together.
It has now successfully become the Heavenly Dao of its own little world, and it can't afford to have its parents called in just because it's being playful. What about its reputation?
Xiao Jiu never expected that Xiao Tiandao would come looking for her. She had long ago discovered that the world consciousness of this world, which was Tiandao, had the nature of a child and a personality that was unpredictable and impulsive.
What she didn't expect was that it wasn't that it had a childlike personality, but that it was still a child at heart.
There were few classes today, so the four of them went back to the dorm after class. Lu Shuhe and another girl were going to their club in the afternoon, while Chu Chu was going home because her dear older brother was back and her family was inviting her to come home for dinner.
Xiao Jiu was left alone. She didn't want to go out or go home, so she planned to stay in the dorm playing games and scrolling through her phone. Everyone else had left, leaving Xiao Jiu all alone in the dorm.
Aren't you coming out yet?
Xiao Jiu sensed the arrival of Xiao Tiandao. Don't ask her how she could sense it; its body, brimming with spiritual energy, placed next to her own body, which craved spiritual energy, was like putting someone who loves desserts into a bakery filled with the aroma of freshly baked cakes—something you wouldn't be able to smell.
