Chapter 315 An Unexpected Encounter
Wu Heyi stood in front of the table laden with delicious food, his eyes filled with eagerness and longing. Each familiar dish seemed like a seductive enchantment.
Look! The tempting-looking Sichuan-style chicken, the crispy-skinned and tender roast duck, the soft and fragrant steamed pork with rice flour, the plump and round lion's head meatballs, and all sorts of other mouthwatering delicacies are laid out right in front of you.
Wu Heyi felt his taste buds dancing joyfully on his tongue, his eagerness so great that it seemed every cell in his body was urging him to devour the food.
At this moment, the store manager is giving a long and detailed explanation of all the store's revenue for the quarter, his mouth like a never-ending chatterbox.
While listening absentmindedly to the long, dry data and analysis, Wu Heyi impatiently stuffed the delicious food into his mouth.
The way they ate was like that of a ferocious beast that had been starving for a long time. Their ravenous eating left everyone around them dumbfounded, their eyes filled with astonishment.
To be honest, the taste of these dishes is at best comparable to that of a cheap street food stall.
But in Wu He's eyes, after enduring the dietary torment of the semi-civilized region of the Sun Moon Empire, the food before him was simply a rare delicacy.
The Sun and Moon Empire is still in a semi-civilized state.
The food there was also taught to the locals by Wu Heyi, but the taste was really just barely satisfactory.
Even using the phrase "can eat a fair amount" to describe it feels a bit of a stretch.
It's strange that Mengxuanjun and his group enjoyed the food so much, even though it was just that mediocre. Wu Heyi couldn't understand it at all. Maybe they really had never tasted anything delicious before.
Wu Heyi ate in a whirlwind, taking about half an hour to finally finish the meal.
Look, his belly is round and full, like a balloon that's been inflated to the brim. He's eating like he hasn't touched food in four or five years.
To sum up his entire state in one sentence: The food is so delicious that he wouldn't let go even if someone slapped him in the face.
After finishing his meal, Wu Heyi realized that he seemed quite unfamiliar with his surroundings.
After all, he hadn't been back for four or five years, so he hurriedly asked the store manager where he was.
The store manager explained the current situation to Wu Heyi in detail based on his questions.
The shop manager first said seriously, "First of all, you are not in the Heaven Dou Empire right now. This is a shop in the Alanmans Sea of the Star Luo Empire. The nearest border to the Heaven Dou Empire is quite far away, at least four thousand kilometers away."
Then, the store manager's expression became somewhat worried, and he continued:
"Secondly, the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire are constantly clashing on their international border. The atmosphere between the two countries is like a taut bowstring, ready to erupt into a major war at any moment. It feels like a storm is about to break out, very oppressive."
After hearing this, Wu Heyi understood. He knew that, based on the current situation, it would probably be three or four years before the war with the Spirit Hall began.
At the same time, he suddenly understood why he was able to reach this continent after flying for a day and a night.
He recalled carefully that when they sailed across the ocean, they took a roundabout route, that is, they circled around in the ocean like drawing an arc, completely avoiding the coastline of the Star Luo Empire.
This time, I flew back, which was almost a straight flight, so the place I landed was closest to the Star Luo Empire.
However, Wu Heyi knew that, based on the timeline he had previously disrupted, he could only know the exact progress of Shrek Academy's development by returning to the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire.
But what he was most concerned about was the current situation of Mi'er and the others.
Thinking back to when I left, they had all met the requirements for graduation.
Wu Heyi knew very well that they must have a lot of resentment because he had left without saying goodbye.
He sighed, his heart filled with melancholy, wondering if he would ever have the chance to see them again in this lifetime.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Wu Heyi asked the store manager for a map.
He spread the map out on the table, his eyes searching for his destination. Once he found it, he picked up a pen and carefully marked it.
Then, he decisively drew a straight line on the map.
He silently calculated that as long as he followed this straight line, even without using the convenient mode of transportation like the Light Shadow Steed, it would only take him about ten days to reach his destination.
Having determined the direction to go, Wu Heyi left the restaurant without hesitation.
He walked out of the coastal city and stood on the road outside the city, looking at the map in his hand once again.
He discovered that, based on the straight-line distance, the nearest city was called Star City.
So he nodded silently to himself, composed himself, and resolutely walked toward Starry Sky City.
Wu Heyi travels at a very fast speed, reaching fifty or sixty kilometers per hour.
After passing through one mountain after another, Wu Heyi felt quite strange.
It should be known that high-level, high-cultivation soul beasts usually gather in places with high concentrations of soul power. Logically speaking, these ordinary hilltops should also have some low-level soul beasts.
However, Wu Heyi crossed at least five mountains and traveled nearly one or two hundred kilometers, but he still couldn't find a single soul beast, or even a trace of where a soul beast had ever lived, which was really strange.
Suddenly, Wu Heyi noticed an unusual tremor in the grass not far away.
Wu Heyi immediately released his spiritual power, enveloping the bushes.
To Wu Heyi's utter surprise, what was in the grass was not a soul beast, but a slightly thin boy covered in mud.
"Kid, come out here!" Wu Heyi said sternly. "I've already seen you!"
Then they saw the bushes swaying abnormally again, but the little boy didn't come out on his own. Wu Heyi felt that the other boy was still hoping to get away with it, so he casually kicked a pebble on the ground and sent it flying.
Not long after, a painful howl came from the bushes.
"Oh, sir, please don't kill me! I was just passing by!" Hearing the boy's aggrieved voice, Wu Heyi found it quite amusing.
If it weren't for the fact that he was holding a sharpened stone dagger, Wu Heyi would have actually believed him.
