Chapter 835 Natural Defect!?
After leaving the old turtle’s place, Fang Yu returned to his home in Beidu.
“Mr. Fang, you’re back!” Ye Shengxue saw Fang Yu and broke into a smile.
“Fang Yu… sir is back!?” Zhao Zinan quickly ran down from the second floor of the bamboo house, and upon seeing Fang Yu, immediately ran up to him.
“How is it, have you gotten used to staying here for these few days?” Fang Yu asked.
“Yes!” Zhao Zinan looked at Ye Shengxue, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said, “Sister Shengxue is really too nice…”
“That’s good then.” Fang Yu said.
“Didn’t you say you’d be gone for a month or so? Why are you back so soon?” At this moment, Little Fengling also walked out and asked.
Before Fang Yu could speak, Little Fengling noticed the void-devouring beast standing on his shoulder.
“What is that!?” Little Fengling’s expression changed as she pointed at the void-devouring beast and asked.
Little Fengling’s expression was like someone about to lose favor, her big eyes full of hostility.
The void-devouring beast lowered its head, looked at Little Fengling, and wagged its tail.
“Woof!”
“Are you challenging me!?” Little Fengling’s face flushed with anger, looking like she wanted to jump up and beat the void-devouring beast.
“Alright.” Fang Yu pressed his hand on Little Fengling’s head and said, “You can call it Little Black. It’s… a stray dog I found in the suburbs. It looked pitiful, so I brought it back.”
To avoid frightening the three women before him, Fang Yu didn’t tell them the true origin of the void-devouring beast.
It was best to let them think of the void-devouring beast as just an ordinary little dog.
“Mr. Fang, how can there be such a small dog…” Ye Shengxue walked forward, her eyes gleaming with light, obviously liking the appearance of the little black dog.
“And its eyes are blue, like gemstones…” Zhao Zinan also came closer, staring at the void-devouring beast.
“If you want to play with it, take it. It would be happy to play with you.” Fang Yu said.
“Can I really…” Ye Shengxue glanced at Fang Yu and asked.
“Yes, it… won’t bite.” Fang Yu thought for a moment before saying this.
Whether the void-devouring beast would suddenly go berserk and return to its original form, he really couldn’t be sure.
But as far as he could tell now, the void-devouring beast had no malice toward him or others.
Hearing Fang Yu’s answer, Ye Shengxue happily extended her hands.
The void-devouring beast obediently leaped from Fang Yu’s shoulder into Ye Shengxue’s hands.
Ye Shengxue held the little black dog, smiling happily.
Zhao Zinan was also beside her, playing with the little dog.
Only Little Fengling stood in place, pouting, looking upset.
“What are you doing?” Fang Yu asked.
“Hmph! Don’t ask me to help you with anything today, I’m going to sleep!” Little Fengling turned her head away angrily and walked outside.
Fang Yu ignored Little Fengling, walked out of the bamboo house, and flew toward the distant clock tower.
Standing at the top of the clock tower, Fang Yu took out that semi-immortal artifact, the Sky-Reaching Prism.
The top of the clock tower was very spacious, operating the Sky-Reaching Prism here would provide the most expansive view.
Fang Yu held the silver-glowing Sky-Reaching Prism in his hand and infused it with true qi.
“Zing!”
The Sky-Reaching Prism immediately emitted a strong light.
Then, one by one, images projected from various angles of the Sky-Reaching Prism, sticking to the air.
A total of thirty-seven images.
With the Sky-Reaching Prism at the center, one could clearly see the situation of thirty-seven observatories distributed throughout China in each image.
The images projected by the Sky-Reaching Prism were not just the current scenes of those locations. At the same time, the person controlling the Sky-Reaching Prism could sense the energy fluctuations at each location.
In other words, if any abnormal energy fluctuations appeared around any of the thirty-seven observatories, Fang Yu would immediately sense it, no matter where he was.
This was the function of the Sky-Reaching Prism.
After activating the Sky-Reaching Prism, Fang Yu released it, letting it float in the air.
Then, Fang Yu slowly observed among these thirty-seven images.
Currently, the situations at all thirty-seven observatories were normal, with no unusual energy appearing, nor any strange figures seen.
“Let’s leave it like this for now.” Fang Yu casually glanced at each image, satisfied, and left the top of the clock tower.
…
Fang Yu rested for a night, and the next morning, while eating breakfast prepared by Ye Shengxue, his fully charged phone from last night rang loudly.
Fang Yu picked up the phone, saw the caller ID, and slightly frowned.
“Fang Yu, I’ll be arriving in Beidu this afternoon! At Beidu train station, if you’re free, come pick me up!” Tang Xiaorou’s excited voice came through the phone.
“I’m busy.” Fang Yu replied.
“You… I’m coming to Beidu alone, unfamiliar with the place. If you don’t come pick me up, I might get lost…” Tang Xiaorou said.
“But I’m still busy.” Fang Yu said.
“I’ve brought lots of delicious food for you. If you don’t come pick me up, I’ll throw it all away.” Tang Xiaorou added.
“…What time?” Fang Yu asked.
“Two forty in the afternoon!” Tang Xiaorou happily replied, seeing that Fang Yu had agreed.
Fang Yu hung up the phone.
“Mr. Fang, do you have something you need to do? I can do it for you.” Ye Shengxue, sitting opposite him, asked softly.
“No need, I’ll go.” Fang Yu said.
While everyone was eating breakfast, the void-devouring beast stood at the corner of the table, its blue-glowing eyes moving around, seemingly observing the food.
“Do you want some?” Zhao Zinan picked up a steamed bun and held it in front of the void-devouring beast.
The void-devouring beast stepped back and wagged its tail.
“Mr. Fang, should I prepare some dog food?” Ye Shengxue asked.
“It… doesn’t eat dog food.”
Fang Yu recalled the records about the void-devouring beast from that book earlier.
Using the sky as its bed, using the earth as its food…
What did this “earth” refer to?
Fang Yu also remembered the scene in that space where the void-devouring beast swallowed a mountain peak tens of meters high in one gulp.
If it really needed to eat something… there was truly no way to prepare for it.
“Don’t worry about it, it’s not an ordinary little dog.” Faced with puzzled looks, Fang Yu had to say.
…
After breakfast, Fang Yu left the void-devouring beast at home and went alone to the temporary Martial Arts Association hall.
After the association building was bombed into ruins, the Martial Arts Association could only rent a building that had not yet been commercially used as a temporary hall, barely maintaining the operations within the association.
In the office on the sixth floor of the temporary hall, Fang Yu met Huaixu.
At this moment, Huaixu had just finished talking with a group of subordinates and was sitting on the sofa.
“In just these few days, you seem to have aged quite a bit.” Fang Yu walked into the office and said.
Huaixu sighed deeply, shook his head, and said, “The Beidu Martial Arts Association lost dozens of key members in a single day, many aspects of work have stalled, it’s very difficult…”
“Isn’t there still President Wang Wenshan? These matters shouldn’t be your responsibility, right?” Fang Yu asked.
“Wang Wenshan…” Huaixu showed a bitter smile and said, “After the explosion that day, Wang Wenshan was urgently recalled by the Wang family. Basically, he has resigned from his position as president.”
“He just abandons his duties when trouble comes?” Fang Yu was surprised and asked, “Is that allowed?”
“He’s from the Wang family. If they really want to do this, there’s nothing I can do about it.” Huaixu said.
“When I interacted with him before, he seemed like a responsible person, I didn’t expect…” Fang Yu said.
“Wang Wenshan might not be that kind of person, but the Wang family recalled him for their interests.” Huaixu said, “I can’t interfere with that.”
Seeing Huaixu looking exhausted, Fang Yu frowned and said, “Since Wang Wenshan has quit, you might as well quit too. Why force yourself to take on these responsibilities?”
Huaixu shook his head and said, “If I also quit… the Beidu Martial Arts Association would exist in name only… and the entire martial arts association system in China would collapse with it…”
“At your age, why do you still want to consider so much? Take care of yourself first.” Fang Yu said.
“Brother Fang, perhaps this is a flaw in my nature. I truly cannot be like you, or like those legendary great masters, who disregard everything, focus solely on cultivation…” Huaixu smiled bitterly and said, “Perhaps it’s because my cultivation talent is not high, and I cannot reach that level. I am often disturbed by many surrounding matters and cannot ignore them.”
