Chapter 182: Chapter 149: Unless the Human Race Has a Hundred Level Powerhouse
"If we destroyed this place, would the Demon Beast Realm stop appearing here?"
Fang Xiu asked.
He’d been wanting to ask about this for a while.
But he never got the chance.
If they were worried about the trouble the Demon Beast Realm’s appearance would cause, why not just make this place disappear?
Sure, this place could be used for special training, but so could other places.
Even if they were a little worse, it would be worth it to eliminate a hidden danger.
Fang Xiu saw no problem with that.
"We discussed this before, but ultimately rejected the idea!"
Li Mu’s expression turned serious as she addressed the topic.
"Why?"
Fang Xiu was a little curious.
Why would they reject it?
After all, the Demon Beast Realm was truly dangerous!
Even with a branch of the Awakening Hall right outside.
And even with a large number of Awakened inside, there were still unavoidable dangers.
"After investigating, we discovered that if we destroyed this place, the Demon Beast Realm, along with other Gate Worlds, would directly border our world. That would be even more dangerous."
At this, Li Mu let out a sigh.
If this space hadn’t appeared, there might not have been any problems.
But once it did, many places, even if destroyed, would just reconnect.
"So that’s how it is."
Fang Xiu nodded slightly.
’No wonder the Awakening Hall let this place exist for so long.’
’At first, I thought it was just to train the Awakened.’
’Looks like I was being too naive.’
If the two worlds really did border each other, then even with the Awakening Hall holding them back, they probably wouldn’t be able to contain it.
After all, the Demon Beasts in the Demon Beast Realm were said to be incredibly powerful.
"So we can only leave it like this for now?"
Fang Xiu asked.
Is there really no solution at all?
"There’s no solution for now, unless we can kill every single Demon Beast in the Demon Beast Realm!"
Li Mu shook her head and said, "But that’s too difficult. Even if the top three powerhouses in the country joined forces, they couldn’t do it."
"Mm."
Fang Xiu nodded slightly.
The top three in the country were all said to be powerhouses who had reached Level 90 or higher.
’Even then, they can’t wipe out the Demon Beasts in the Demon Beast Realm?’
’Just how terrifying are the Demon Beasts in there?’
Fang Xiu didn’t know.
But he could guess there were probably quite a few Tier Ten Demon Beasts.
’Definitely more than three of them.’
These Demon Beasts had been Awakening for much longer than humans.
Although their power increased very slowly, their much longer lifespans gave them plenty of time to grow.
Humans, on the other hand, had to cultivate desperately just to catch up and surpass them.
This was the hardest part for humanity.
While it was true that as humans grew stronger, their lifespans also increased, it was still nothing compared to the Demon Beasts.
Therefore, it was highly likely for many Demon Beasts to reach Tier Ten, which was Level 90 and above.
But for a human to reach Level 90 or above was exceedingly difficult.
"Unless a Hundred Level Powerhouse emerges among the Human Race, it’s basically impossible to slaughter all the Demon Beasts in the Demon Beast Realm."
Li Mu also longed for the day a Hundred Level Powerhouse would appear among humans.
To kill enough Demon Beasts.
To drive all the Demon Beasts out of this world.
To forcibly sever this world’s connection with all the Gate Worlds.
If that happened, this world might finally return to normal.
"Alright, that’s enough talk. I’m going to take a shower!"
Li Mu sat right up.
She reached to her side and pulled out a set of underwear and a bathrobe.
Fang Xiu stared, dumbfounded.
"What? Never seen a girl’s underwear before?"
Li Mu couldn’t help but laugh at Fang Xiu’s expression.
"No, it’s... your Space Ability is that flashy?"
Fang Xiu wasn’t surprised that Li Mu had pulled out such clothes in front of him.
But rather, by her ability.
’An ability that lets you grab things anytime, anywhere?’
"You just have to open up a small space and put things inside. It’s just like a Space Storage Device, and it follows me wherever I go!"
As Li Mu spoke, she seemed to be deliberately showing off.
Right in front of Fang Xiu, she pulled out a towel, shampoo, body wash...
"Look!"
"Look again!"
"I can pull out anything!"
"And my space can even hold living things!"
Li Mu boasted as she pulled out item after item.
Fang Xiu: ...
"Huh? Winnie the Pooh?"
Just then, Li Mu pulled out a pair of small shorts and held them in front of Fang Xiu.
Fang Xiu froze.
’Holy crap, is that Winnie the Pooh on them?’
"No... wrong one!"
Hearing Fang Xiu’s words, Li Mu finally realized she’d grabbed the wrong thing.
She hastily stuffed them back.
"I’m going to take a shower!"
With that said, she vanished from the room.
She reappeared in the villa’s bathroom.
’It’s over, my image is ruined!’
Li Mu stared at the Winnie the Pooh boy-shorts in her hand.
Her composure completely shattered.
The dignified, imposing image she had built up in front of Fang Xiu...
Was now completely gone!
"AAAAAH!!!"
Li Mu freaked out in the bathroom!
Meanwhile, Fang Xiu watched Li Mu disappear, a smirk playing on his lips.
Li Mu had indeed pulled out the Winnie the Pooh underwear by accident.
But Fang Xiu had pointed it out on purpose.
It was the only way he could get away.
With Li Mu gone, the spatial distortion on the door vanished.
Fang Xiu left the villa immediately.
Once outside, a red figure appeared beside him. It touched Fang Xiu, and they both disappeared.
They reappeared inside another villa.
This was one of the villas Li Mu had mentioned earlier today.
The nearby villas were all unoccupied.
She had told Fang Xiu to pick any one he liked.
But Fang Xiu hadn’t expected that after he chose one, Li Mu would insist on living with him.
"Hmph, a thirty-year-old cougar trying to snatch up fresh meat like me? In her dreams!"
Fang Xiu pumped his fist happily.
"Master, let me stand guard for you tonight. If she comes looking for you, I can quickly make you invisible."
Kajimi said, a triumphant smile spreading across her face as she looked at Fang Xiu lying on the bed.
"You’ll stand guard?"
Fang Xiu looked at Kajimi and asked back.
"Yes, Master, please rest assured. I absolutely won’t have any improper thoughts!"
Kajimi nodded quickly.
She said obediently.
Fang Xiu: ...
"I haven’t even said anything!"
Fang Xiu gave Kajimi a disbelieving look.
"Master! I promise, I really won’t!"
Kajimi said hurriedly.
Fang Xiu looked at Kajimi’s sincere expression, thought for a moment, and chose to... not believe her.
"Get out. And close the door."
Fang Xiu said mercilessly.
Kajimi: ...
But there was nothing she could do. The master’s command had to be obeyed.
She could only walk sullenly toward the villa’s exit.
"Stupid Master, mean Master!"
Kajimi muttered as she walked.
Fang Xiu heard her but didn’t react.
At the door, Kajimi glanced back at Fang Xiu, a little unwilling to give up.
She saw that Fang Xiu had no intention of paying her any mind.
She could only open the door and walk out.
...
"Whew, I wonder what Fang Xiu is thinking?"
Li Mu, having finished her shower, was still wrestling with her thoughts.
’Should I go out or not?’
’Fang Xiu saw it!’
’Fang Xiu saw the Winnie the Pooh underwear!’
’Why did I have to show off just now?’
"No, I’m the Vice Hall Master. If I don’t dare to go out now, how can I lead Fang Xiu in the future? I have to act like nothing happened!"
Li Mu patted her chest.
Then she took a few deep breaths to calm herself.
She vanished and reappeared back in the room.
"Fang Xiu... huh? Where did he go?"
Li Mu looked at the empty room, then at the open door.
She knew Fang Xiu must have run off.
Just as she took out her phone to call Fang Xiu, a message came in.
The contact name was Fang Xiu’s.
Fang Xiu: Vice Hall Master, about what just happened, I don’t remember a thing. Winnie the Pooh? I don’t know anything about that. We aren’t living in the same villa, and I definitely didn’t see any Winnie the Pooh!
Li Mu: ...
’You did that on purpose, didn’t you, you brat?’
’Every other word is "Winnie the Pooh," and you say you don’t know or remember anything?’
Just as Li Mu was about to reply, her phone rang.
"Teacher?"
The caller ID showed Principal Xiang Babang.
Li Mu decided to answer.
The moment she answered, a voice came from the other end: "Li Mu, where are you? Can you come to the school right now?"
’Now? This late?’
’Could something have happened?’
