A Real Character

Some might think Shen Muheng's behavior of clinging to someone's leg and calling them "daddy" is cowardly.

Aren't you some young master from the Shen Family?

Aren't you ashamed of being such a coward?

But Shen Muheng felt that these were not problems at all.

So what? Don't you know who this person is? He's a big shot, the kind of person who can use the sky as a blanket even if it falls down.

Besides, he got his way into this powerful patron through his own abilities; that's called being pragmatic and having foresight.

Others would love to hug him but can't.

If he gets this hug, and anyone dares to bully him in the future, he only needs to yell at the sky:

"Dad, help!"

Then divine soldiers descended from the sky, and his cheap "father" came flying through the air, wreaking havoc in all directions.

Just imagining that scene is exciting.

Shen Muheng felt increasingly pleased with himself, and even the soul that had been frightened away earlier seemed to float back to him.

Wuma Xiu truly hadn't expected this person to be so... flexible and adaptable.

Ultimately, he had only met the other party twice.

"I won't take your son. And get up."

Wuma Xiu looked down at him, his tone a mix of amusement and exasperation.

Shen Muheng not only didn't get up, but also plopped down on the ground, clinging tightly to Wuma Xiu's legs with both arms.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; what's the point of saving face?

Anyway, it's not even as much as the Star Coins he earned.

Besides, he had already lost all face here the moment they met. Anyway, he had nothing to lose, and he was determined to cling to this powerful figure today!

"Dad, please accept me! I can make you lots and lots of money, really! Also..."

Shen Muheng decided to cast a hook.

His eyes darted around, he leaned closer, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously:

"Do you know Lord Spring God? I know Lord Spring God. Father, you'll definitely benefit from taking me in."

"Huh?" Wuma Xiu looked down at him again. He knew Spring God? He searched his memory, but couldn't recall this face. "You really know him?"

Shen Muheng straightened his back, patted his chest, and made a solemn vow:

"Of course! Besides, my relationship with Lord Spring God is quite special!"

Wuma Xiu didn't speak, his gaze drifting upwards before returning to the top of his head.

After thinking for a while, he finally remembered that the customer service representative on the Star Network who was in charge of Spring God was named Shen Muheng.

No wonder the name sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it.

"Spring's customer service," he uttered.

Shen Muheng stood frozen in place, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit an ostrich egg.

What did he hear?

Just four words, yet they contained so much information that his brain was almost overloaded.

First, what's this big shot's name?

Spring! So intimate, so natural, they must have a very close relationship with the Lord Spring God.

Second, customer service!

This big shot actually knew he was Lord Spring God's customer service representative, which means Lord Spring God even mentioned such a small matter to him!

Good heavens, Lord Spring God actually introduced himself in front of other big shots!

Shen Muheng was both surprised and delighted. He looked at Wuma Xiu.

This leg is thicker than he thought!

Hold on tight, never let go, even if it kills you!

"Dad..."

"Don't call me that."

Wuma Xiu interrupted him without thinking.

He didn't want to be caught by those Old Self again, accused of "pregnancy out of wedlock" and having an extra son out of nowhere.

"Father!"

"Godfather!"

Which one do you like, boss?

Shen Muheng stared at him expectantly, his face practically begging for refuge. Judging from the other's attitude, it seemed... it looked like... he might have to cling to this powerful figure?

"I don't like any of them," Wuma Xiu said calmly, glancing at him again at the end. "Besides, does your father know that you call other people 'Dad' outside?"

Shen Muheng remained completely calm, even puffing out his chest:

"If he knew I'd found myself such a powerful new father, he'd be overjoyed! If you like him, I'll arrange for him to be adopted as your son, and I'm open to being your grandson!"

Wuma Xiu looked at him, momentarily at a loss for words, and could only offer a polite smile.

What kind of clown is this guy?

"You decide."

I'm afraid if you go back and bring this up, your dad will betray you on the spot, and you'll be dead.

Fortunately, the people around were still immersed in the fear brought by the Starry Sky Beasts. Their faces were pale and they were absent-minded. No one paid any attention to Shen Muheng's shocking statement.

Fortunately, otherwise he would have been treated as a high-priority observation target for someone who had escaped from a mental hospital and detained on the spot.

The tour guide Yunyun, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She used the chair to help her get up from the floor, her legs still a little weak.

That Starry Sky Beasts was terrifying; the invisible pressure it exerted when it approached was so immense that she couldn't even stand up.

Thankfully, the other person had already left.

But she still couldn't shake the lingering fear in her heart. The Starry Sky Beasts was Creation of the Star God; it would never normally pay attention to such a small sightseeing spaceship, let alone swim straight towards them.

They've always ignored human-made aircraft, so why are they suddenly interested today?

Yunyun gazed out the window, a faint unease rising in her heart.

The spaceship sailed smoothly towards the Niros Sea.

However, during the remaining time, everyone was distracted and no longer had the excitement they had before setting off.

Some people rushed to call home to let their families know they were safe, some frantically texted with their heads down, and others uploaded the blurry images they had just taken to the Star Network with the caption, "I've never been this close to death in my life."

The entire cabin was filled with the lingering fear of surviving a disaster.

Shen Muheng was the only exception.

He sat obediently next to Wuma Xiu, exuding an aura of smug satisfaction that said, "I have someone backing me up." Even the clouds outside the window seemed to be congratulating him.

We've finally reached the Niros Sea.

Yunyun was the first to stand up. She straightened the flag in her hand, forced a professional smile, and led them off the spaceship.

The sea breeze is salty and refreshing, blowing in my face, carrying with it a vast expanse of moisture.

"Everyone, follow me. We'll first go to the viewing platform, and then take a small boat to see the blue ocean waves!"

Yunyun tried her best to make her voice sound cheerful and reliable.

Having just experienced that terrifying encounter with the giant beast, many people lost their enthusiasm for the trip.

They waved goodbye in twos and threes and started to ask for refunds, but they could only get half of their tickets back.

In the end, only three men remained out of the ten.

Wuma Xiu, Shen Muheng, and the man who wore thin-rimmed glasses from the very beginning.

Yunyun looked at this one, then at that one, still holding the little flag in her hand. Her gaze settled on the three of them, her eyes seeming to say, "So, are you leaving too?"

She was prepared to return home alone, but she still felt a little disappointed.

Shen Muheng stole a glance at Wuma Xiu, and seeing that the other party had no intention of leaving, he immediately puffed out his chest, his face clearly showing "I firmly support all of the boss's decisions".

The bespectacled man simply adjusted his glasses and smiled gently at Yunyun.

"I came here specifically to see the sea."

Yunyun's eyes lit up, and she raised the flag again, as if she had regained some strength.

The viewing platform on the Niros Sea is very large, extending outwards from a central point with a radius of fifty meters.

The pure white countertop resembles a giant seashell that has fallen onto the beach. Standing on it and gazing into the distance, all you can see is the blue of the sea and sky, and even the sea breeze seems to have taken on a salty, gentle hue.

Yunyun planted the flag at the entrance of the viewing platform and led the three of them to the edge of the platform.

She suddenly lowered her voice and spoke mysteriously:

"Hey guys, I heard someone recently spotted Mermaid in the Niros Sea!"
