The moment Fang Yu stepped into the whirlpool, everything before his eyes turned into a vast expanse of white. He could neither see nor hear anything. Immediately after, he felt a tearing force of attraction.
Whoosh.
Fang Yu only felt a chaos in front of him.
Everything disappeared.
Blue sky, white clouds...
Appeared before his eyes.
"Eh? Where am I?"
Fang Yu found himself lying on a patch of grass, a gentle breeze wafting over, everything seemed so languidly affectionate.
Plenty of white clouds in the sky.
The sunlight shining on his face felt extremely comforting.
"Have I returned?" Fang Yu was dazed and confused.
Just as he was puzzled, a voice reached his ear—
"Where did this wild man come from? He looks so pitiful..."
What wild man?
Fang Yu abruptly sat up and looked around.
He discovered a young girl, accompanied by a little boy, both looking at Fang Yu with immense curiosity.
Fang Yu indeed resembled a primitive man.
His hair was unkempt, clothes ragged, his face covered in dirt, not a single part looked normal.
He looked more like a beggar scavenging for scraps.
"Sis, let's not bother with him... We can barely take care of ourselves." The boy tugged at the young girl's hand.
"But..."
There was still some sympathy in the girl's gaze.
She didn't say anything but handed over a water bottle in her other hand, saying, "Here."
When Fang Yu saw it was water, he felt an inexplicable stirring in his heart.
Ever since he entered the Secret Realm, he hadn't properly, truly had a drink of real water.
"Thank you."
Fang Yu took the water bottle.
He lifted it and drank it with a gurgling sound.
He emptied the bottle in one breath.
He then noticed the water bottle was a bit dirty.
Fang Yu smiled awkwardly and looked up at the young girl, dressed simply, her appearance plain but very clean, delicate.
He felt a tad embarrassed for dirtying the water bottle.
However, it was still the property of others, so Fang Yu handed back the bottle.
The girl didn't show any disdain and took back the bottle.
"Let's go," said the girl, ready to leave with the boy.
Fang Yu called out, "Wait a moment."
"Hm?"
"What time is it now?"
"Ten o'clock in the morning."
"I mean the year, month, day, and the location."
"Oh, it is August 29, 2018. This is Huayang Continent, Brook Town."
Upon hearing this,
Fang Yu couldn't help but freeze and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect it to be six days. According to the conversion of time in the Secret Realm, I have stayed nearly seventy years in there!"
"What did you say?" the delicate girl asked.
"Nothing..." Fang Yu smiled and stood up.
The delicate girl saw Fang Yu's beaming smile, not quite fitting for a beggar, and asked, "How come you fell asleep here? And you should be begging on the streets, not here."
"Begging? You've misunderstood... I'm not begging," explained Fang Yu.
"Oh... Then did you get lost?"
Fang Yu saw she was quite naïve and squinted his eyes as he said, "Yes, I got lost, and it was not easy to find my way back home. Thank you, I will be leaving now."
Just as he was about to turn and leave,
The delicate girl said, "Oh... Why don't you come to my house and have some lunch before you go, and you can change clothes as well. My brother left a few sets of new clothes, never worn before..."
This truly made Fang Yu feel deeply moved.
He glanced back at her.
Confirming there were no fluctuations of Inner Essence from her body.
This indicated that she was not a Cultivator.
Logically speaking...
Being so close to the exit of the Secret Realm, the Spiritual Energy here was abundant.
And was certainly a place where outstanding people and a blessed land converge.
Fang Yu looked down at his clothes and after a moment of thought, he said, "Fine."
With this agreement.
The girl's younger brother seemed a bit displeased and spoke up, "Sis, you're too kind... There are so many bad people out there these days. When we get back later, Uncle will have something to say to you again."
The delicate girl just smiled.
In no time.
Fang Yu followed the delicate girl into town.
All along the way, people pointed at Fang Yu, saying he was a wild man.
There were also those who took out their phones to take pictures of him.
Perhaps he had spent too long in the Secret Realm, to the extent that Fang Yu was a bit maladjusted to modern society.
After a while, he got used to the bustling streets, various street lights, and the electronics.
They arrived at the courtyard gate.
The three stopped.
Fang Yu looked up and said, "Your house is quite big..."
"Of course, my home is about to be demolished... My sister and I are going to move into the big city," the little boy boasted.
"Pretty wealthy," Fang Yu gave a thumbs up.
The little boy asked in a low voice, "You, the beggar, aren't a bad guy, right? Let me secretly tell you, my brother-in-law is really tough, he's well-known around this town. He comes to our house three times a day."
"Uh," Fang Yu didn't know how to communicate with this little boy.
However, the delicate girl just smiled slightly and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, I can tell good from bad. Your eyes tell me you are not a bad person."
"You have good judgment... Indeed, I am that kind of good person. If it were not out of desperation, I might have been the glorious and great people's doctor by now... If I get a chance, I would live in seclusion, set up a small clinic in a town like this, take a wife, and live a peaceful life," Fang Yu said sincerely.
But...
This sincerity, to others, why does it seem a bit silly?
"Giggle... I'll get you some clothes, go take a shower."
"Thanks."
Fang Yu went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Nothing much to make of.
Seventy years of life in the Secret Realm, though it didn't age his mentality, certainly refined his knowledge and honed his understanding.
While Fang Yu was enjoying his shower.
He heard someone rushing into the courtyard, shouting:
"Xiao Qian! Xiao Qian... come out! Quick!"
"Your father agreed to let us get married the day after tomorrow. I can't wait... I'll take you to choose a necklace today!"
Fang Yu was taken aback.
And continued listening.
That delicate girl must be Xiao Qian.
"Zhang Yang... I've told you, I don't want to get married... I'm still young," Xiao Qian said.
"What are you talking about? In our town, if you don't marry me, who else would you marry? Your father has agreed, do you still want to renege? I warn you, your family's successful demolition was all thanks to my father's connections. Don't forget... The several acres of land my family has is enough to feed us for several generations," Zhang Yang said.
"Even if your land grows gold, it has nothing to do with me. I'm not interested."
"Xiao Qian... I just heard someone say that you brought a wild man home. You wouldn't be unwilling to be with me because of this wild man, would you? Call him out, and see if I don't give him a proper beating. Let alone him, even if it was a tiger, I could knock it down with one punch!"
Fang Yu, who was taking a shower, was stunned for a moment.
From what that man said, the previously mentioned field must have been the location of the exit of the Secret Realm, where Spiritual Energy leaked out causing any crops grown there to undergo energy evolution and strengthen.
It was natural that this man had become strong.
It seemed they had already noticed this.
However...
What puzzled Fang Yu was, how did I become a wild man?
After finishing his shower, Fang Yu got dressed... and walked out with a grand swagger.
