588 An Identity (1/2)
Zhou Bao had expected trouble for those who came from the Seven-deity Regions, but he had not expected the matter to be known so publicly.
It seemed that the whole Infinite Star Sea had already known about the Seven-deity Regions of the Heaven Realm, and ”Seven-deity Regions” had even replaced ”Devil Fetus” as the most talked about topic in the Infinite Star Sea.
”Now we're kind of passive!” Zhou Bao thought as he followed Jia Huaiyu into the heart of the Remote Red Star.
As the saying goes, among the blind, the one-eyed man is king. Banished to the frontier, as a Genuine Immortal and the elder of the Canglan Region, Jia Huaiyu was one of the highest ranking people in the outlying Remote Red Star. He could have been the mine chief in Zhou Bao's previous life. He could make inquiries about others, but others were not qualified to check up on him.
Therefore, his return to his own manor with two strangers aroused some people's curiosity, but no one had any reasons to doubt his activities.
”Wow, you really know how to enjoy life. What a luxurious manor you have!” Arriving at Jia Huaiyu's manor, Zhou Bao was stunned. It was not so much a manor as a vast cluster of palaces. It was as good as his Sea-calming Palace. It was just that it was not built in accordance with the Way of Heaven and formations like Sea-calming Palace, which had an unmeasurable momentum. However, in terms of magnificence, it far exceeded that of his Sea-calming Palace.
”You must be joking. Being banished to a place like this, I feel sorry for myself if I don't treat myself well. This Remote Red Star is a mine star with plenty of miners and it's not difficult for them to build such a manor.”
His words revealed the general situation here. He was the local Emperor of the Remote Red Star and everything on this planet was under his control. Building a palace on such a large scale here might come across as a bit exorbitant, but over here, it would not cause much criticism. In the eyes of many immortals, ordinary people were not different from pigs and dogs. It was their duty to build palaces for immortals, and if they refused, the immortals would kill them all.
Although Zhou Bao did not practice this, he was powerless to change these practitioners' values.
He laughed at Jia Huaiyu's words, ”So, in many cases, misfortune is what happiness depends on; happiness is where misfortune lies. It's a little out of the way, but you're in charge of everything here. You're more comfortable here than in the Alliance of 13 Realms!”
”Yes, I'm free and unfettered here!” Jia Huaiyu agreed, and the three of them went to a pavilion in the deepest part of the manor and rested.
As they sat down, the servant brought tea. Zhou Bao sipped it and found it to be good. He nodded gently and asked, ”Good, is it made here?”
”No, it's from the Green Leaf Star. Unlike the Remote Red Star, it's full of exotic flowers and rare herbs and is the largest source of Magic Drugs in the Canglan Region. This tea is also from there!”
”Well, you said a Lord of Heaven was captured in the Infinite Star Sea. Do you have any specific details about this?” Zhou Bao asked, changing the subject suddenly.
”It—!” Jia Huaiyu hesitated, ”I don't know much about that. You know, this place is not very up-to-date with the latest information. And I don't care about anything except Yuelang Cliff. I'm only a One-tribulation True Immortal. I can't get any benefits from things like the Devil Fetus or the Heaven Realm. I don't dare to benefit from them, so I didn't pay much attention to them.”
”Then from now on, pay more attention and get the precise information, understand?”
”Yes, I'll do it right now!” Finding that Zhou Bao's face had turned somber, Jia Huaiyu stopped making excuses, bowed to Zhou Bao and retreated.
”King Wuyang, is he trustworthy?”
”In my opinion, yes. He is under my inhibition and will never expose us unless he's stupid. We're strangers in the Infinite Star Sea. It's better to have a local bully help us than to find out for ourselves.”
