Chapter 56: Yun Yun's Awakening (Part 23)
Of course, Fang Bie had no knowledge of this matter.
He himself possessed no perceptive abilities, so he slept quite soundly, feeling an unexpected peace, as if his sleep was even deeper than before.
When he woke up, Fang Bie was surprised to find that he had become the latest riser among everyone outside, where everyone was already waiting.
It seemed like there was something he wanted to say, but it got stuck in his throat, leaving him unable to utter a word.
He didn't even notice when the laboratory door had been opened.
The girl inside was already nowhere to be seen.
For a moment, Fang Bie felt somewhat helpless. He said to Eason, "Eason, start making breakfast while I go look for her."
"Xiao Yan, aren't you curious about how these syntheses came to be? Making breakfast together with Eason will teach you much more than asking questions," Fang Bie casually instructed, then turned and walked down the path towards the mountain.
This mountain was his creation. After he had completely hollowed out the stones at the base of the mountain a few days ago, only one path down remained.
He did this mainly to prevent some zombies from coming up during the night.
This also made his search much easier. Without hesitation, Fang Bie headed straight toward the place where he could descend the mountain.
He didn't know when she had woken up, but if she had woken up earlier and gone far away, it would have been hard to find her.
He wasn't truly a creator god. If he really couldn't find her, it would be troublesome.
Fang Bie didn't know what kind of mindset he had, but since he had already come out, he wouldn't give up halfway.
Perhaps it was just that he didn't want to see such a peerless woman perish at the hands of some unknown small monster.
He hurried down the mountain, originally thinking he might need to search for a long time, but saw her standing outside the sheep pen below, gazing absentmindedly at the cattle and sheep confined inside.
"So you're here! I thought you had run off!" Fang Bie slightly caught his breath and said.
Her delicate hand gently lifted, lightly brushing her eyebrows, "In a strange place without any chakra, even if I ran, where could I go?"
"Then why did you disappear so early in the morning?" Fang Bie quietly approached the area, taking interest in counting the cattle and sheep in the pen.
"Perhaps, because of fear." Her expression was calm, showing no sign of panic, "After waking up in a completely unfamiliar place, with nothing to rely on, of course, I wanted to escape."
Her thoughts were clear and her reasoning tight, and if not for the heaviness in her brows, she might have looked like she was on a spring outing.
Fang Bie took a deep breath, "That's true. If you lose your strength, it can be dangerous for a woman to be out alone."
He thought of the news he had seen in his previous life, even in such a safe world, these things happened. In a world where killing was not forbidden, a woman traveling alone would be even more dangerous.
"So, why are you looking for me?" She watched Fang Bie with a wary gaze, but her powerless eyes made her seem more like a panicked rabbit.
"I don't want anyone to leave this world. There's already no one here. If a few more people die, wouldn't that be too sad?" Fang Bie said, slowly stepping forward.
"I'm not asking you to let your guard down now. I know you can't do that. But since neither of us intends to harm you, shouldn't we give each other and ourselves a chance?"
He slowly extended his hand, "Hello, my name is Fang Bie. I am the master of this world."
"Yun Yun." In the end, she extended her hand, lightly gripping Fang Bie's fingers, her touch cold yet soft.
Fang Bie himself didn't have many strange thoughts. He quickly withdrew his hand, "Since your body has recovered somewhat, you can recuperate here. If you want to return, you'll have to wait for a month."
While speaking, he casually explained to Yun Yun the matter of the portal. Only by being open and honest could he alleviate her resistance the most.
Yun Yun made no comment. From her unconsciousness to waking, she only felt a bit of jostling, never experiencing this interdimensional travel, and thus had no further thoughts.
She simply nodded slightly. Her intuition as a Dou Huang told her that the youth in front of her had no ulterior motives, and she judged him accordingly.
Fang Bie didn't know that both Yun Yun and Yao Lao possessed the ability to kill them instantly. Although that world had banned chakra, the power of their elevated souls through long-term cultivation had not dispersed.
He didn't know either that because of his preserved goodwill, he had narrowly escaped disaster. He himself was such a person, perhaps becoming somewhat dulled due to life's shackles, but he wouldn't break the rules because of that.
People yearn for freedom, but that doesn't mean their freedom is built on others' suffering. He had realized this early on, which was why he lived peacefully in this world.
Otherwise, the Marvel universe where Tony resided would have been his best choice. In such a world, with top-tier forces, he could have enjoyed life beautifully before the arrival of the real great world.
But Fang Bie had refused the other party's proposal to stay, returning to this world that was in dire need of reconstruction, lacking everything. After all, returning to his roots was his home.
Fang Bie had already returned to the mountain in a daze, bringing along the woman who had finally relaxed her guard somewhat. Eason and the others were already seated at the table.
"In this world, everyone will feel hunger. This is one of the basic rules. When hunger reaches its limit, life begins to decrease. Since you have no prompts, eating three meals a day is necessary."
Fang Bie explained the necessity of eating, and suddenly found it quite meaningful. Whether you're an unparalleled fairy or a dominating figure, you have to sit down and eat when you come to me.
Thinking this way, it suddenly felt strangely meaningful.
Fang Bie smiled faintly, introducing the woman beside him to the three of them and also making mutual introductions.
"This is Yun Yun, whose name I just learned. These two are your saviors. They brought you to this world. His name is Eason, my friend, and also one of the permanent residents of this world."
Fang Bie pretended not to notice the shock on the faces of the old and young, instead sitting down first and pointing to the chair next to him.
"Sit down. You're new here, so you may not be used to it, but there's always a first time."
Yun Yun nodded slightly at the group and sat down.
The dishes prepared by Eason were already placed in front of them, full of Western style. Each person had a fried egg, two slices of toast, a hot dog, and a bottle of milk.
"Fang Bie, there's not much milk left. I'll go get some more from down the mountain later," Eason casually said.
Having lived here for so long, the two had developed a tacit understanding.
Fang Bie immediately understood his intention.
