CHAPTER 384: CHAPTER 384: ALL ARE BROTHERS

The sudden words left Zhu Haomiao momentarily dazed.

In reality, not much time had passed, but due to the time distortion in the Illusion Realm, he inexplicably felt a sense of distance, as if recalling events from many years ago.

Quickly snapping out of the disjointed sense of time, Zhu Haomiao flashed a hearty smile, boldly saying.

"We’re all brothers here, no need for formalities!"

"..."

Who’s your brother?!

Li Cang rolled his eyes at Zhu Haomiao, an unintentionally playful pout causing the young man’s heart to skip a beat, and he averted his gaze uneasily.

Sly Brother Li!

My current Dao Heart is LV.4, you can’t scare me!

Upon self-inspection, discovering no outrageous thoughts took over apart from a skipped heartbeat, Zhu Haomiao nodded secretly in satisfaction.

Level 4 Dao Heart still stabilizes Level 3 Lust pretty well...

Deep down, I’m certainly not a Se Se kind of person!

Pursing his lips, Zhu Haomiao shifted the conversation seamlessly without giving away anything.

"Cangcang, have your injuries healed yet?"

"Not fully healed yet, but it doesn’t affect my combat strength anymore."

Li Cang nonchalantly chopped vegetables, answering leisurely.

"Did you take down the Nihility Sect member who ambushed you?"

His actions paused, and Li Cang sighed softly with helplessness.

"It’s not that easy, people from the Nihility Sect often ’suddenly awaken’ strange abilities, plus they can slightly alter reality. As long as they don’t want to die, they won’t die, making them almost unbeatable in the Illusion Realm."

"Even someone with my kind of dominance can only defeat but not kill them..."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"Speaking of which, I also encountered a member of the Nihility Sect this time. They sure are hard to kill."

"However, in the end, my skills surpassed hers, and I finished her off completely."

Hearing the young man’s smug murmur, Li Cang and Ye Wan Ning exchanged glances.

"Those lunatics are not simple, once they ’awaken,’ they are nearly the pinnacle of their Heavenly Position. How did you defeat him?"

"It wasn’t a defeat, it was a kill, obliterated to dust."

"Death in the Illusion Realm isn’t true death though..."

"But I killed her in the coupling area between the Illusion Realm and reality."

"??!"

Upon seeing their shocked expressions, Zhu Haomiao lightly glossed over the event details, immediately eliciting exclamations from them.

"Was it really a secret ceremony? That’s one of the most dangerous supernatural disasters! It’s called a moving natural disaster!"

"Rafael? The Blazing Angel from myth and legend?!"

...

Listening intently to the young man’s story, their beautiful eyes sparkled brightly, only feeling that Zhu Haomiao’s experiences in less than a year were more exciting than their own past decade!

Finally, Ye Wan Ning wasn’t satisfied, took out her phone, and began searching.

"DGUX-0194 Illusion Realm, right?"

"Let me see what other fun things there are!"

Soon, a sea of information popped up, and Ye Wan Ning even followed links to find specialized forums abroad.

"Hmm? Why is Third Brother the only one posting?"

As one of the YouTube Five Permanent, Third Brother’s presence on the internet had always been strong, with traces everywhere.

But taking over an entire Illusion Realm forum seemed a bit abnormal.

However, not long after, Ye Wan Ning found the reason and widened her eyes in disbelief.

"What is this? A descender in the tens of millions?!"

"Wait, Emperor Shitian?"

Immediately, their beautiful eyes instinctively turned to Zhu Haomiao, their pupils filled with concern.

"Why do you always encounter figures from myth and legend?"

Prodding the young man’s cheek, Ye Wan Ning muttered in annoyance.

However, Zhu Haomiao didn’t care, continuing to cook without interruption, smiling without turning his head.

"You should ask them why they keep provoking me."

For a moment, Ye Wan Ning and Li Cang exchanged glances, sticking out their little tongues in shock, communicating silently.

"This boy is terrifying, not even fearing gods!"

"Isn’t this your favorite kind of domineering CEO?"

"But he’s too domineering, how can I still be his godfather?"

"..."

Watching his friend’s earnest, troubled expression, Li Cang squinted his eyes expressionlessly.

You’re truly abstract!

Silently rolling his eyes, Li Cang refocused on food preparation, quickly helping Zhu Haomiao set out a table of extraordinary dishes.

Greedily inhaling the aroma, Ye Wan Ning gazed at the dishes emitting a faint spirit light, closing her eyes in rapture, moved to tears.

"It’s been so long since I’ve had Shui’s cooking... boo hoo hoo..."

"Let me take a photo first."

Letting Ye Wan Ning click away with her phone, Zhu Haomiao chuckled and shook his head, taking from her arms the limp mink-like Diao Chan, hoisting it about ten centimeters above the table.

The fragrant steam rose straight to her nose, Diao Chan’s tiny pink nose twitched slightly, her sleepy large eyes slowly opened, and upon recognizing the scene before her, she let out an excited cheer.

"Chirp~"

Wriggling out of the young man’s hand, Diao Chan jumped to the ground, transforming into a ball of spirit light that rapidly expanded, forming a delicate human silhouette.

When the light dissipated, a snow-white little girl appeared naked before everyone’s eyes, and Ye Wan Ning quickly pulled her into her arms, while Li Cang tactically covered Zhu Haomiao’s eyes.

"Not allowed to look."

Zhu Haomiao: "..."

Wasn’t I the one dressing this dumb mink when you two weren’t around?!

Pouting, Zhu Haomiao silently complained in his heart; after a long wait, Li Cang finally removed his hand.

"Where did they go?"

"They went to the room to dress."

Soon, the pretty little girl ran over like a little princess, shouting incoherently.

"Awoo! So yummy~ I love it~"

Nimbly climbing onto a special little bench, Diao Chan grabbed chopsticks and spoon, her big black eyes blinking at Zhu Haomiao.

Pitiful, helpless, wanting to eat...

When Ye Wan Ning settled down beside her, Zhu Haomiao smoothed Diao Chan’s head with a smile.

"Go ahead and eat."

Like a starting pistol, the little girl let out a cheer, quickly stuffing food into her mouth, her cheeks puffing out, happily narrowing her eyes into crescent moons.

Letting the little one gobble down the food, Zhu Haomiao suppressed his Gluttony, eating elegantly and leisurely, chatting with the two casually.

"Senior sister, Cangcang, are there many descenders in your Illusion Realm?"

"How could there be? Each Heavenly Position is a hurdle, and in the Middle Heavenly Position, except for some special Illusion Realms, tourists would find it hard to survive. Even if they cling on, they can only toil at the bottom..."

"So, the higher the Heavenly Position, the fewer the descenders."

"In Illusion Realms with descenders in the tens of millions like yours, it can only happen in Initial Heavenly Position realms..."

"But on the other hand, the higher the Heavenly Position, the fewer the Illusion Realms, so the further up you go, the more concentrated the circles become, so even though it’s all familiar faces, you won’t be lonely."
