708 An Unexpected Encounter on the Remote Red Star (2/2)
Now Zhou Bao was in a pickle, a bit at a loss.
It had been ages since he came to this strange world. His strength and status were growing steadily. His speaking rights was expanding increasingly, but now. he could not figure out where his future lay.
Looking back at his growing process, in the beginning when he was quite weak, he used to struggle for survival, striving to grow his power. But when he had gone through that stage, he started getting busy, running about for many inexplicable matters, one of them being the Fate Creator competition of Heaven Realm. Initially he had nothing to do with the competition, but owing to the favor that Fate Creation Boy had done for him, he had to stick up for Fate Creation Boy. Now, even Sea Emperor was involved, forcing him to come to this Infinite Star Sea to kill a Primordial Demon. But he did not give a da*n about this Primordial Demon!
He was helpless!
Now that the whole thing had come to this point, the only thing he could do was to heave a huge sigh.
”Since I left the Thunder Emperor's touring abode, I seem to have become a bit arrogant, showing off too much. But this time, I have to lie low when handling this matter of the Primordial Demon. Yes, low-key, must remember that!” Zhou Bao muttered in his mind. Seeing how this matter had started with Fate Creator, then leading to Sea Emperor, and now pointing to the Primordial Demon, deep down, Zhou Bao felt he had become more and more involved in this. He felt his future was heading dangerously towards an unknown realm. He did not like this feeling or the unknown realm.
Therefore, he decided to lie low this time, to hide behind the scenes instead of rushing to the place where the Primordial Demon was suppressed and killing him straight away.
If this matter was really that simple to settle, he would not have been so worried.
”Alas!”
Sitting by the window, Zhou Bao let out a sigh, took a sip of the alcohol, scooped up a peanut and tossed it into his mouth. He felt that his brain was an utter mess, his strands of thoughts as disordered as the crowds coming and going in an endless flow, outside the window.
”Hello brother, greetings!”
As Zhou Bao heaved a sigh, a voice fluttered to his ears, trying to strike up a conversation with him. This was from a man who had been observing Zhou Bao for a while, which Zhou Bao was aware of. But he did not bother about him, for this man was merely a practitioner who had just stepped into the Mysterious Realm. However, it did not occur to him that this man would come over to start a conversation.
Looking up, he saw a middle-aged man with a seemingly honest face, then he cupped his hands in respect and said, ”Greetings, brother, have a seat!”
The man did not refuse. He threw himself into the empty seat opposite Zhou Bao and said, ”As I observed, you are scowling and sighing in despair. You must have met some difficulties, right?”
Zhou Bao squinted, his face revealing a trace of a forced smile. ”Well, brother, please do not laugh at me. I do have some problems and I'm racking my brains to figure out a solution!”
”Oh? Problems?” The man said with a smile. ”You and I are both practitioners. The only type of problems we encounter should only be the difficulties in developing our strength and cultivation. The rest does not matter. Brother, you are quite young, but your cultivation is extremely profound. Thus, you are not worrying about your cultivation. If that's the case, what else is worth your concern? You will cross the bridge when you get to it. Stop wasting your energy on whatever you are thinking!”
”Brother, you do have a point!” Zhou Bao was using the identity of Jia Qingping, so he did not hide his cultivation on purpose. He merely lowered the rank that he was demonstrating to the public to Rank Two of the Individual Immortal Realm, which was just a bit higher than this man. And that was why this man dared to strike up a conversation with him. If Zhou Bao hid his cultivation completely and pretended to be an ordinary guy, or fully revealed his cultivation and gave off an overbearing sense of power, this man would not have come near him at all.
”I am Jia Qingping, a man living on this Remote Red Star. What is your noble name?”
”Noble name or not, my surname is Jin, and my given name is Yao, I am from the Cumulus Star!”
”Cumulus Star?” Zhou Bao was a little taken aback. What a coincidence! This Cumulus Star was one of the few vast planets Zhou Bao had visited in the Infinite Star Sea, which was a widely known Trading Star.
”Cumulus Star is not near this place at all. I wonder why Brother Jin is traveling all this way here for?”
”Just for a private affair!” Jin Yao gave a mysterious smile but did not elaborate. Zhou Bao did not mind this. He also gave a smile, and his anxious expression faded a bit. He did not ask more questions and started drinking the alcohol.
