Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1008: Destiny That Brought Us Together

The next morning...

Zheng-Fu woke up early in the morning. Yesterday he ate well and slept well, so today he felt very refreshed and energetic.

"It seems that Elder Sister Mie still hasn't finished absorbing energy." Zheng-Fu walked out in front of his room and used his psychic energy to check Mie-Xiang-Qi's room to see how much she had absorbed the medicine.

Sigh!!!

"Before we go, we'd better get something to eat first. An army must march on its stomach, right, Jin-Tian!?" Zheng-Fu said to Jin-Tian.

"'Aren't we supposed to go on foot, sir, Master?"

Ah!

"I'm just making a comparison, Jin-Tian. You're such... really innocent. Ha ha ha! Let's go get something to eat!" Zheng-Fu did not expect Jin-Tian to answer like this. So, he laughed a little before leading the way out to find a diner in the city.

"Oh! Yes, sir, Master. Actually, it's like this!"

A shichen passed...

Zheng-Fu finally found a tavern he liked and ate until he was full. It took him a shichen. But it was worth the time he wasted. Because the seafood at this tavern tasted very good. And there were also many types of food that he had never eaten. Therefore, Zheng-Fu ordered those foods for the three comrades within his dimensional space to try.

Of course, the three of them really liked the food that Zheng-Fu sent because they had never eaten seafood before. They told Zheng-Fu to send in more. But Zheng-Fu had to refuse because he had to leave. If he ordered more food, he would have to wait longer.

Afterward, Zheng-Fu returned to Lin Clan Mansion to inform Da-Ge that he would be leaving before he summoned out the dimensional gate and walked in.

Half an hour passed, hundreds of lis under the sea...

"I never thought there would be a place like this down here. How interesting!"

When Zheng-Fu arrived at the coordinates based on the data he received from one of the demon monsters he had killed, he appeared in a small city hundreds of lis deep under the sea. This city looked no different from a human city. But it was just under the sea and covered by an air dome.

Upon arrival, Zheng-Fu hid himself by using his camouflage skills and wandered around the city, mingling with the townspeople to explore. And it took him half an hour to roughly survey the entire city. After that, he looked for a place to stay at a tavern.

But taverns in this city were very few, and they also had strict inspections of guests. As Zheng-Fu had learned, it was probably because the situation under the sea was currently unstable. Therefore, every city was ordered to strictly monitor everyone. And Zheng-Fu thought that it might be he who was the cause of all this trouble.

At the diner inside the tavern where Zheng-Fu stayed...

"Did you hear about all the top clans sending many of their great skilled masters to gather at the Holy Courtyard?"

"I heard! Plus, I saw with my own eyes that the ruling clan sent more than a hundred high-level great skilled masters there!"

"More than a hundred great skilled masters? Does this mean they're going to war?"

"I can't tell if they'll go to war. But from the inside news I heard, they're gathering because the Great Master who has been blessed by the Monster Deity is about to give gifts to the great skilled masters who have the same fate!"

Hah!?

"Receiving a gift from the Great Master? How true is this?"

"Probably about six-tenths. But whether this is true or not is of no concern to us. Thinking too much, we won't get anything. I think we'd better spend our time finding something fun to do!"

"That's it! It's not about us anyway."

Zheng-Fu, who was also sitting in the dining hall, overheard all the conversations that all the groups were having. He was very interested in the conversation between the two middle-aged shrimp-headed monsters. Because it was a matter directly related to him, but he did not know where the Holy Courtyard was. And if he went in and asked, he was afraid that he would become suspicious because he did not know whether all sea people should know that place.

'What should I do? In all the memories I received, there was no such place at all. Or was it because I wasn't paying attention that I missed this Holy Courtyard? Or should I use that method again?' Zheng-Fu was extremely hesitant. If he did not ask people there, he had only one way. That is, capture someone who probably knew the Holy Courtyard and extract memories from that person.

Sigh!

'Then there's probably only one way left. If so...'

But suddenly...

Hey, Brother!

"It seems like you're not from this city. You don't look familiar at all. What city are you from?" But while Zheng-Fu was thinking, there was a young man with a human body but without legs. Because both of his legs were a fishtail instead. Or it could be compared that he was like a merman.

"Merman Race!?" Zheng-Fu accidentally exclaimed.

"Yes! I'm a member of the Merman Race. My clan lives here. But it's just a branch of the clan. By the way, where do you come from? Would you like to go to the Holy Courtyard with me? I'm gathering a group to go there right now. And you don't seem like a bad guy at all. Are you interested?" The young man nodded at Zheng-Fu when he heard his exclamation. Because he thought Zheng-Fu had asked him. Before briefly introducing himself and telling the purpose for which he came to talk to Zheng-Fu.

Hah!

As soon as he heard what the young man said, Zheng-Fu's expression broke into a smile of joy, because someone suddenly offered him a way to the Holy Courtyard. It could be said that this time he really came up with luck. Because he usually encountered difficulties wherever he went.

"I'd like to go! I'm looking for a group to go there. But because I looked young, no one wanted me to travel with them. But if you don't mind that. I'd be happy to go with your group!" Zheng-Fu immediately accepted without hesitation. He did not care if these people tricked him. Because if someone really wanted to deceive him, he would just slaughter that person and take the location data.

Great!

"Then let's go meet the rest of the group. They should be waiting at the meeting point!" The young man smiled at Zheng-Fu in satisfaction before inviting Zheng-Fu to join the rest of the group.

Umm!

After that, the two of them left the tavern and immediately headed towards the meeting point.

Fifteen minutes passed...

Hey, Guo-Dong!

"Why did you come so late? It's already five minutes past the appointed time!"

When Zheng-Fu and the young man who invited him, whose name was Guo-Dong, arrived at the meeting point, a young man with a slender body but a large head and long eyes protruding from his head and a large crab claw on his back called out to Guo-Dong with a teasing expression.

"I'm sorry! I just happened to meet a new member who looked interesting. So, I invited him to come along. It makes me five minutes late!" Guo-Dong walked toward his group, along with explaining why he was late.

Hah!

New member!?

"What are you thinking, Guo-Dong? New member!? Can he be trusted?!" the young crab-man said curiously and very seriously. Because everyone knew that during that time, they had to be extremely cautious. Therefore, it was difficult to trust people passing by.

"I think he can be trusted, Boon-Leng! And this is our new member!" Guo-Dong smiled dryly, uncertainly. He could not say with certainty whether the people he had brought were trustworthy. However, according to his feelings, he thought that Zheng-Fu was a trustworthy person.

Huh!

"You 'think'? You're..."

"Enough, Boon-Leng! After all, Guo-Dong had already made his choice. Moreover, our group is lacking people. With him accompanying us, our group will be complete and we'll depart!" While the young crab-man was speaking, another young man walked in and interrupted with a straight face. This new young man had a different appearance from Guo-Dong and Boon-Leng. He looked like a human, only with his hands and feet, while his head and body were an orange shrimp.

Qiu-Zhen!?

"It's right, as Elder Brother Qiu-Zhen said. After all, Elder Brother Guo-Dong has chosen him. We should trust Elder Brother Guo-Dong's judgment. Right, Elder Brother Guo-Dong?" A woman's voice suddenly sounded before her body floated in. She was very similar in appearance to Guo-Dong. But she was not topless. She had two shells covering her breasts.

Xi-Dian!

"By the way, where does this new member come from? Why am I not familiar with him? Or is he from another district?" As soon as the young woman named Xi-Dian finished speaking, a young man who looked to be the oldest walked in with a solemn face, staring at Zheng-Fu and asking doubtfully.

"I'm Le-Fu, I come from Shen Town in the nearby Seventh District. Nice to meet you all, Elder Brothers and Sister!" Zheng-Fu hurriedly searched for data about the cities and districts in his borrowed memories and quickly decided which city he should choose as his home, before telling the young man who asked him with a serious expression.

Shen Town from the Seventh District!!!

Shen Town from the Seventh District!?

Everyone seemed to be very shocked by Zheng-Fu's answer. Their expressions made Zheng-Fu feel unspeakably worried. Because he did not know what he had said wrong. Or would what he said cause his identity to be revealed?

"Did I say something wrong?" Zheng-Fu was still trying to maintain a neutral expression before asking so that he could get an answer and find a solution to further problems.

Not at all, comrade!

"Actually, we were shocked! Because everyone knows how pitiful Shen Town of the Seventh District is. As Shen Town was a lawless city, every day there were frequent murders. This caused most of the townspeople to flee and live in surrounding cities. But even if something like that happened, there would be quite a few people who are willing to stay there. Including those who want to go in and make a name for themselves, there are countless of them as well. Sigh! You're lucky to be able to escape like this!"

After everyone had recovered from their shock, Boon-Leng, who seemed displeased at first, suddenly changed his expression when he learned where Zheng-Fu came from. He instantly became friendly, like a completely different person.

"Thank you very much, Big Brother Boon-Leng. Actually, I didn't have any difficulties while I was there. I grew up in that kind of society and environment. I had to survive for my mother who was seriously ill. But after my mother died, as per my mother's order, I was no longer there!" When Zheng-Fu saw that his answer was not as bad as he thought, it even became an opportunity for him to gain pity points for himself, he did not hesitate to take on the role of a pitiable person immediately.

Oh!

"How pitiful, Younger Brother Le-Fu!"

"It's all right, Big Brother Boon-Leng. I think this is destiny. And it is destiny that brought us together!"

Zheng-Fu wanted to smile broadly and laugh as he thought about his own words. But he had to hold it back with all his might. Because he had to play his role realistically to get as many credibility points as possible.

"That's right!"

"This is our destiny!"
