Chapter 390: Experience the Mortal World to Become A God
Mu Wanyu was somewhat speechless as well. It hasn't been that long since he recovered, but he already wants to go to the Boundless Club. What is he thinking?
Ye Guan instantly deduced from Mu Wanyu's expression that she had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained, "Miss Mu, I'm going there to find someone not to have fun."
However, Ye Guan's remark seemed to have exacerbated Mu Wanyu's confusion.
"You’re going there to find someone?"
"Yes." Ye Guan nodded and said, "To be honest, I lost a portion of my memories, but I still remember that place. Someone I know is over there, and his name is the Boundless Master. Have you heard of him?"
The Boundless Master? Mu Wanyu frowned and fell into deep contemplation before shaking her head.
Ye Guan was silent. Is the Boundless Master a low-key individual?
"You won't be able to enter the Boundless Club," Mu Wanyu said.
Ye Guan was confused. "Why not?"
Mu Wanyu smiled and said, "The Boundless Club is the most prestigious club in Huaxia, and only its members can enter it."
Ye Guan frowned.
Mu Wanyu looked at him. She hesitated for a little while before she took out two Huaxian dollars and extended them to him, saying, "Here, take these. These are yours."
Ye Guan looked down in confusion at the paper bills.
Mu Wanyu smiled and urged, "Take them."
"Can I use them to become a member of the Boundless Club?" asked Ye Guan.
"Pfft!" Mu Wanyu burst out into laughter and asked, "What are you talking about? Two dollars are only enough for a few meals. At the Boundless Club, even a mere fruit platter costs a few thousand dollars!"
Ye Guan sighed.
Mu Wanyu placed the money in his hands and said, "Take care."
With that, she turned around to leave.
Ye Guan sighed to himself once again. He had truly never even imagined that he would one day fall to such dire straits. To think that I'll one day run out of money... this is just too ridiculous; I don't know what to say. If I told any of the people back home about how I ran out of money, I'm pretty sure none of them would believe me.
After all, he had over a billion spiritual cores in his storage ring.
He had given Nalan Jia a huge portion of his finances before he had embarked on his journey to the Milky Way, but she insisted on returning the money to him.
Unfortunately, his storage ring had become a useless piece of metal, as spiritual energy was necessary for him to open it.
Ye Guan examined his surroundings and found that the spiritual energy here was so thin that it was practically non-existent.
What exactly was this place?
He was completely unfamiliar with what was going on here as well. He reckoned that finding a place to eat would be a problem, not to mention finding his way to the Boundless Club.
He sat on the floor silently, pondering his next move.
He had to admit that he was having a hard time adjusting to his plight.
Ye Guan suddenly looked up and saw a pretty face.
Mu Wanyu had returned and asked, "Not sure where to go?"
Ye Guan nodded.
"Follow me, then," Mu Wanyu said. She had been watching him, and she felt bad about leaving him when she saw him staring blankly at the ground. She was still feeling rather guilty of hitting him. If she hadn't crashed into him, he wouldn't have sustained the injuries that led to his memory loss.
Ye Guan quickly replied, "Okay!"
He knew that there was no point in putting up a front.
"All right," Mu Wanyu said, "Let’s go, then."
He got up and followed Mu Wanyu.
Mu Wanyu explained quite a few things to Ye Guan after realizing that his memory loss was more severe than she initially thought. Ye Guan listened attentively. To adapt to this place, he had to be more familiar with it.
Soon, they found themselves inside a residential complex known as the Purple County. She brought him into an elevator, and they went up to the eighth floor. They then entered an apartment that wasn't too big, but it had a living room with two bedrooms.
The place was clean and homely as well.
"There are two rooms. One of them is mine, and the other belongs to my housemate, so..." Mu Wanyu pointed at the sofa and continued. "You’ll have to sleep on the couch."
Ye Guan nodded and said, "Okay!"
He was already satisfied with the fact that he now had a roof over his head as well as meals to chase his hunger away.
Mu Wanyu put the book in her arms to the side. She then poured Ye Guan a glass of water.
Ye Guan accepted the glass of water and expressed his gratitude.
Mu Wanyu smiled and sat across from Ye Guan.
"You said your name is Ye Guan?" she asked.
Ye Guan nodded and replied, "Yes."
Mu Wanyu smiled quietly at Ye Guan. There were two reasons behind her daring decision to bring a stranger home. First of all, she felt guilty, and the second reason was that she had been observing him closely and found that his gaze toward her had remained pure and without ill intent all throughout.
He had never avoided meeting her gaze as well, which meant that he truly held no malice, making him markedly different from the other men she had encountered so far.
Just then, Ye Guan said, "Miss Mu, how much money must I make to become a member of the Boundless Club?"
"I don't know." Mu Wanyu shook her head and said, "I’ve never really been to a place like that, so I can't give you an estimate."
Ye Guan nodded slightly and asked again, "How about the Milky Way Clan? Do you know anything about it?"
"The Milky Way Clan?" Mu Wanyu was taken aback. "You know it?"
Ye Guan was thrilled, and he parroted. "You know it?"
"Of course, but..." Mu Wanyu trailed off and said, "I’m more curious about how you know them."
"Why’s that?"
"The Milky Way Clan is located in outer space, so most people don’t know about their existence."
Ye Guan was shocked. "The Milky Way Clan isn't in Huaxia?"
"Yes." Mu Wanyu nodded and said, "They're located in a star field in outer space."
"How can I get there?" Ye Guan asked. If he couldn't get to the Boundless Club, then he had to go to the Milky Way Clan!
Mu Wanyu sighed and said, "I think it’d be better if you went to the Boundless Club."
Ye Guan was baffled.
"Do you know how hard it is to get to the Milky Way Clan?" Mu Wanyu asked.
Ye Guan shook his head.
"First of all, you have to become a student of the Milky Way Academy. Do you know how difficult that is? Let me give you an example—there are millions of students here in Baiyun City, but every year, only two or three students are admitted into the Milky Way Academy.
"Once they're enrolled, only about ten students in the cohort are allowed to go to the Milky Way Clan...
"Actually, one must be really excellent to get admitted into the Milky Way Academy, as you can learn about ancient spells at the academy! To be honest, becoming a student of the Milky Way Academy is my goal at the moment."
It seems that it's more difficult to enter the Milky Way Academy rather than the Boundless Club. Ye Guan was silent, and he sighed. I guess I'll just earn enough money to enter the Boundless Club.
He couldn't help but wonder about what happened to Erya and Little White. They'll come and look for me, right? Right...?
Mu Wanyu fetched a blanket for Ye Guan. "It’s cold out here, so use this."
Ye Guan respectfully replied, "Thank you, Miss Mu."
"You’re welcome. It's partly my fault that you’re like this. I’m glad that you're not blaming me for what had happened," Mu Wanyu said.
"It had nothing to do with you, so it's okay," Ye Guan replied.
"Rest well!" Mu Wanyu grinned before turning around to leave. However, she seemed to have recalled something, prompting her to turn around and say, "My housemate has a bad temper. If you bump into her, just tell her that you're my friend."
"All right," Ye Guan said with a nod.
Mu Wanyu then walked into her own room and locked the door. She knew that she still had to be cautious. After all, Ye Guan was a stranger. In addition, it was always good to err on the side of caution.
Mu Wanyu sprawled on her bed. She originally wanted to take a shower, but she decided not to do so, as there was a stranger outside. She took out her phone and called someone.
"Jiu’er... I brought a man home."
—Is he handsome?
"He's very handsome!"
—How handsome is he?
"He's the most handsome guy I’ve ever met..."
—Give me his number!
"But I think there's something wrong with his head; it must have been when I hit him."
—There's something wrong with his head? What do you mean?
"He said he's the king of some universe..."
—Ah, fuck. What a shame.
Ye Guan lay on the couch in the massive living room. He closed his eyes slowly and thought for a very long time before coming to the conclusion that he only had one choice—earn enough money to enter the Boundless Club!
However, how was he going to earn money here? He stayed silent for a long time before he decided that he would rob someone. Since time immemorial, robberies had always been one of the fastest ways to earn money!
The only issue was... who would he rob?
He got up and walked up to the door to Mu Wanyu’s bedroom. He knocked lightly, and the door swung open. Mu Wanyu was already dressed in her pajamas that covered every part of her body, making sure that there was nothing for anyone to see.
Mu Wanyu stared at Ye Guan with a wooden hammer in her right hand, which she made sure to hide behind her. Ye Guan didn't seem like a bad person, but she still wanted to be cautious.
"What place has the most money here?" Ye Guan asked.
Mu Wanyu blinked in confusion before saying tentatively, "The bank?"
"Is it heavily guarded?"
"What? What are you going to do?"
"I’m just asking... don't worry."
"Don’t do anything silly. One should live an upright life. If you need money, go and earn it. You shouldn’t even think of doing bad things. Well, I’ve thought about doing some bad things before, but what you're thinking is illegal, do you understand?"
"You're right, Miss Mu." Ye Guan sighed. "Why don’t you tell me how to earn money?"
"Do you have any diplomas?" Mu Wanyu asked.
Ye Guan shook his head.
"Any skills?"
Ye Guan shook his head again. He had virtually no skills to speak of here.
Mu Wanyu went silent at Ye Guan's reply. After a while, she asked, "Can you endure hardships?"
"I'm really good at that!" Ye Guan exclaimed!
"Then you can work on a construction site and do some bricklaying!"
"Bricklaying?"
"Yes, it's tough labor, and it’s extremely exhausting as well, so..." Mu Wanyu trailed off and stared at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan was quiet, seemingly pondering over Mu Wanyu's words.
Bricklaying? I guess I have to do it, then. I don't really have any choice.
Ye Guan couldn't allow himself to become a freeloader. He decided not to think of himself as the King of the Guanxuan Universe. He knew that he had to face the cold and harsh reality before him, so he had to make sure to adapt to his circumstances.
Ye Guan swept all of his worries aside and emptied his mind. He looked at Mu Wanyu with clear eyes and said, "Miss Mu, I apologize for disturbing you. Thank you for your help, and I wish you a good night's sleep."
With that, Ye Guan turned around to leave.
Mu Wanyu watched as Ye Guan walked away. After a while, she turned around and sat down on her bed. She looked down at the wooden hammer in her right hand and shook her head with a smile before putting it aside.
She then turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes as well. Time to sleep!
...
A white-robed man and a lady wearing a plain skirt were at a lakeside somewhere.
"He’s here," said the plain-skirt lady.
"I know!" replied the white-robed man.
"He’s having a hard time. Should we help him?" the plain-skirt lady asked.
The white-robed man grinned and replied, "How can one become a god without experiencing the world of mortals?"
