Chapter 1001: I wanted to fill space but I didn't know how!
"eat."
"Oh."
Simple conversations are already the limit of what Shen Yu and Xia Xingran can communicate with each other now.
Xia Xingran was still reeling from what she had just said to Shen Yu, and was even stammering as she tried to explain—
"I didn't mean to... I just wanted to change myself."
Shen Yu handed over the chicken meatballs, his expression becoming even more subtle.
Is this the kind of change...?
"Did someone teach you how to make this change?"
Xia Xingran shook her head.
"The lively heroines in the shoujo manga I read are like that. I actually want to try becoming like that..."
Girls' comics? Why would you read that stuff?
No! Who told you to look at that thing?!
Shen Yu didn't even need to think; Xia Xingran herself would never watch such things. Who had bewitched her? Lu Minxi had gone through all that with him; she couldn't possibly do such things. Xia Xingran didn't know the Queen, and there was no way she would be persuaded by her to watch comics or anime.
Now there's only one answer!
Dr. Xia Mingshu! So you're the type who reads romance comics featuring young people?!
Xia Mingshu, far away: ?
The nearly 90-year-old man suddenly sneezed, which startled him quite a bit. He didn't know what he had done wrong to catch a cold.
"Take some medicine as a precaution..."
Xia Mingshu put on an extra layer of clothing and poured himself a cup of hot tea.
"Shu~~ Ha~"
…………
There are many people on the street who run shops with elves, just like Lu Lianfeng, whom Shen Yu met at the beginning, who ran a food stall with Octopus Bucket. This lifestyle has obviously entered thousands of households.
The Cream Fairy from the nearby cake shop waved to Shen Yu through the glass and drew a small heart on his chest with cream.
Shen Yu's gaze was drawn to this—he couldn't help but think of the family who had taken good care of him back in Baichuan City.
It's been a long time since I've been back. There's still some time between the Heavenly King Tournament and entering the Eastern Yao Secret Realm, so I'll go back to Baichuan City to rest for a while.
A gust of wind brushed past him, and Shen Yu turned around to meet a pair of emotionless eyes.
"Oh."
Out of politeness, Shen Yu took the initiative to raise his hand and greet him.
Cleo suddenly grinned wickedly, and Shen Yu realized that this guy actually had shark teeth just like Chibana.
He said nothing, only gave that smile, and then turned and left.
Shen Yu didn't understand what it meant, but soon Xia Xingran tugged at his sleeve, and he turned around and shrugged.
"Let's keep walking~ Did you know? Iya opened a fruit pie stall here, and it's pretty good..."
…………
Meanwhile, Iya, whom they were talking about, was staring at the communicator with a headache.
"Iya, have you seen the message from the chief?"
Iya frowned deeply, scratching his head with both hands and inhaling deeply.
"I need to ask Yingzi about this. Bai Ce."
The young man, wearing glasses and with a few bits of paste still on his face, suddenly stood at attention.
"Please speak."
"Go find Mr. Shen; he can intervene in this Dongyao Secret Realm incident."
"Yes!"
Just as Bai Ce picked up the clothes he was going to change into, a head suddenly poked its head in through the stall window.
Who called me?
Bai Ce: ?
Shen Yu pulled Xia Xingran to stand by the shop window and peered inside. Looking at the furnishings and scale of the shop, he exclaimed in admiration—
"Wow, this shop is pretty good! I was thinking of telling you guys that this fruit cake and snack shop is taking away your niche, but it seems like I don't need to now!"
Iya & Vincent & Kui Gui still kneading the batter: ?
Why is your art style so different from ours?
Bai Ce was startled and went over to open the door, then suddenly reached out and dragged the two people inside.
Xia Xingran: Should I come too?
Iya: Another inch.
Xia Xingran: What do you want to say? Do I have to hear it too?
Iya: Another inch.
…………
Shen Yu couldn't understand why someone like Wang Si would want to get lost in the secret realm...
Coincidentally, the news came from Kensfar, the younger generation on whom Wang had placed high hopes.
Kensfar left early after the match, wanting to talk to Wangs about something, and went to his room beforehand... and found a diary on the table.
Shen Yu kept his left eye still, but slightly raised his right eyebrow.
What does this mean? What a cliché plot.
However, Kensfar didn't panic immediately. Instead, he calmly waited for Wangs to return and had a warm conversation with him, learning who had entered the Eastern Yao Secret Realm with him...
Wow, we've found a savior!
However, Kensfar was unable to find Shen Yu, nor did he have any contact information with the others. In the end, he could only find Ye Xuanming, one of the Dongyao players he had previously fought against.
Ye Xuanming was a member of the investigators, so he naturally knew who to talk to about these things...
He knew that Shen Yu probably didn't have any free time lately, so it was even less likely that he would disturb his precious time. Therefore, he made a call to Mingxian Fuwei.
It makes perfect sense for the Alliance's investigators to directly tip off the leaders of anti-Alliance organizations, right?
This is the authority of a double agent; Ye Xuanming is going for a big win this time.
"So, what does Mr. Fu Wei want me to do? Bring Wang Si out of the secret realm?"
Iya pursed her lips, her voice sounding somewhat unsure.
"Actually, the leader asked us to request that you do more... It would be best to find out why Mr. Wangs did this as well."
After saying this, she knelt on one knee, lowered her head, and spoke in a muffled voice.
“I know this request is weak, but the Bitme region, which Mr. Wangs manages, is really important to us. He is not only a powerful trainer, but also represents Bitme’s attitude…”
So, is the situation with Bitmee here really that complicated?
Shen Yu recalled Wang Si's squinty eyes and once again expressed his incomprehension of why Wang Si would have such thoughts.
"I understand. I'll tell Mr. Fu Wei that I'll do my best... I don't know if I'll succeed in the end."
"Thank you for your understanding..."
Shen Yu was stunned for a moment when he saw the three people in front of him lower their heads at the same time. He then glanced at the young former prosecutor next to him.
"Um, I'd like four fruit pies."
…………
While they were making fruit pies, Shen Yu and Xia Xingran didn't go out. Instead, they listened to Yi Ya talking about the interesting gossip in their circle recently.
"Hasn't Twilight at Bitmee been acting a bit too arrogant lately? How can they do things like this?"
Shen Yu opened his eyes wide and tried to eavesdrop.
Bai Ce leaned over from the side.
"But I seem to have heard that the addictive substance wasn't developed by them; instead, they were the victims who were framed?"
"Don't listen to their nonsense!"
Yingzi suddenly interrupted from inside the communicator.
"According to the information my undercover agent obtained, that thing was developed by Huanghun himself, but things don't seem too stable within their organization lately."
"Hey, quite a few people have been affected~ What a pitiful bunch~ suffering these undeserved disasters."
Iya appeared from the side and handed Shen Yu a piece of the finished fruit pie.
"Eh? By the way, is Mr. Shen still there?"
Bai Ce, holding the communicator, looked in Shen Yu's direction and, after receiving a nod of approval, replied.
"Yes... What is it?"
The person on the other end of the communicator seemed hesitant at this point.
"Mr. Shen, there's some news I feel I absolutely must tell you."
“When you last visited our base, you were with two girls. One of them seems to be in some… well, trouble.”
Shen Yu stopped feeding Xia Xingran.
