Free Web NovelChapter 307: Chapter 245: Treading on Starlight
At the foot of Huaguo Mountain, beside Water Curtain Cave, Li Longyu slowly rode forward on a Jade Jiaolong. Behind her followed Yuan Yao and Liu Qin, also riding Jade Jiaolongs.
The three were out for a leisurely ride together.
"I wake up from one nap, and your master has already run off to a billion light-years away, leaving me here without a second thought..."
Li Longyu murmured.
She had once been to the Yamero Star with Wang Yi and heard him say it was a billion light-years away. However, she didn’t understand the concept of a light-year, only that a billion of them meant it was an incredibly far distance.
Yuan Yao smiled. "Princess, Master told us to take good care of you!"
But Liu Qin just snorted. "Instead of thinking about how to serve the Master, you dare to complain? You’re unbelievable! An attitude like yours will only hold him back from getting stronger. In time, the Master will realize that, and he won’t dote on you anymore!"
"Sister, you’re right," Li Longyu said with a smile, not at all angered by the remark. "I need to get stronger and help my husband. So, what can I do now?"
Liu Qin replied, "If I were you, I’d go to the Hundred Skills Academy and learn a trade. At least then you’d be of some use!"
Li Longyu nodded. "You’re right. Then let’s all go to the Hundred Skills Academy together!"
"Great!" said Yuan Yao. "I heard that tailoring is a really popular trade at the Hundred Skills Academy right now. There’s a musician who can weave a billion light-years, and the Young Mistress is already setting up a clothing factory. They’ll need a lot of tailors, so why don’t we go learn the craft!"
"Alright!"
The three women were in immediate agreement. They changed course for the Hundred Skills Academy, and as they passed Taohua Pond, they ran into Zhao Mei.
Zhao Mei was squatting on the ground, playing with a strange little creature.
"Greetings, Alchemist Zhao. What are you doing?"
Yuan Yao went forward to greet her.
Zhao Mei turned to see the three women. "Ah, the harem squad. Your Ladyships have arrived just in time. Come take a look at this little thing. Isn’t it cute?"
As she spoke, Zhao Mei held up a small, basketball-sized animal in front of them.
The little animal had a duck’s bill, powerful hind legs and tail, a round head, and two tiny paws on its chest.
"What kind of animal is this?"
Li Longyu and the other two didn’t pay any mind to how Zhao Mei addressed them. They were too busy curiously studying the little animal she was holding, none of them recognizing it.
Zhao Mei said, "Since Your Ladyships don’t recognize it, allow me to enlighten you. This little animal, if you ignore its bill, looks like a small Tyrannosaurus Rex. A T-Rex is a dinosaur, and they’re very ferocious. But with this duck bill, it’s not ferocious at all. It’s goofy and pretty cute, actually. This little thing is intelligent and obedient, too. I’ve decided to name it the Duck-Billed Dragon!"
"Uh..."
Li Longyu and the other two were a little confused by the explanation.
Zhao Mei added, "The Flower and Fruit Ecosystem on Huaguo Mountain is truly amazing! These Duck-Billed Dragons are wild animals that were born naturally, and they’re so well-behaved! It looks like you three ladies are at loose ends, so why don’t we go catch some? We can raise them as pets. Maybe once they’re grown, they can even guard our homes."
"Catch Duck-Billed Dragons..."
Staring at the adorably goofy Duck-Billed Dragon, the three women found themselves quite taken with it. Persuaded by Zhao Mei, they all entered the Peach Blossom Forest to catch some.
The Flower and Fruit Ecosystem of Huaguo Mountain had already completed its first transformation and could now naturally produce small animals. The Duck-Billed Dragon discovered by Zhao Mei was just one of them.
The four women entered the Peach Blossom Forest and soon discovered some small birds with long tails. Some were red, and some were gold. They were very beautiful.
Zhao Mei said the little birds looked like Phoenixes and named them Little Phoenixes.
However, the Peach Blossom Forest was mostly populated by Peach Blossom Fairies and Little Spirit Monkeys. They were Flower and Fruit Spirits born from the Flower Fruit Trees and were the most intelligent, almost on the level of Earth Deity Beasts.
Before they knew it, the four women had reached the summit of Huaguo Mountain. Gazing out in all directions, they took in the breathtaking panorama of Huaguo Mountain, and their spirits lifted.
Suddenly, they noticed a river of starlight flowing across the land below. It quickly formed an arch bridge that seemed to connect Eggshell Castle directly to Eggshell Pier.
"That’s... My husband is back!"
Overjoyed, Li Longyu immediately spurred her Jade Jiaolong and galloped toward the Starlight Arch Bridge below.
Meanwhile, Wang Yi was standing on the Starlight River, doing broadcast callisthenics.
He diligently completed one set and felt completely refreshed. By the time he stepped off the Starlight River, he had arrived at Shanhai Pass next to Eggshell Pier.
’There are 21 Shanhai Passes in total on the surface territory. Each of these 21 passes is "the First Pass Under Heaven." I’ll just use them as my highway entrances...’ ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Wang Yi clasped his hands behind his back, looked at the Starlight River he had just constructed, and nodded in satisfaction. He then said, "Let’s call this Starlight River a Starlight Arch Bridge. This is the first one, and there will be more to come!"
Using his Commanding Mountains and Rivers ability, Wang Yi could create Starlight Rivers at will. He had now used a Starlight River to forge a Starlight Arch Bridge, connecting Shanhai Pass with Eggshell Castle.
In fact, this Starlight Arch Bridge was two-way. Starlight flowed within it in a continuous loop. When Wang Yi stepped onto it, he could travel from Shanhai Pass to Eggshell Castle, or from the castle to the pass, in the span of a single thought.
Soon, Wang Yi returned to Eggshell Castle.
Eggshell Castle was undergoing renovations. Gegeda and a large number of craftsmen were busy at work. Wang Yi found Jelena in a temporary office area in the castle square, got an update from her on the latest situation in Eggshell Village, and also received a gold blind box.
That gold blind box had been confiscated from Hu Dachun and his men. As for Hu Dachun’s group, they had already been secretly executed by Siyan.
Wang Yi was in no hurry to open the gold blind box. He went to the Wukong Dojo and used the Heart of Chaos to quickly create several Construction Drawings: [Paper Mill], [Watch Factory], [Explosives Factory], and [Printing Factory].
