In Tianhe City, on a bustling street.
Xu Yi looked at the black, indescribable object in the sky that resembled a chrysanthemum and fell into thought.
That black chrysanthemum was not actually a chrysanthemum, but an Interstellar Wormhole.
It appeared to be in Earth's sky, but it was actually near the edge of the Milky Way.
In a sense, it was like a projection, yet it truly existed.
Xu Yi knew this information because he did not originally belong to this world. He was a transmigrator from another world.
Thus, he was very familiar with this world's background.
It was a Universe with multiple factions, including Angels, Demons, and Super Warriors, and Earth Star would soon become a battlefield of gods.
It seems the peaceful days won't last much longer.
Xu Yi thought to himself. Now that the Chrysanthemum Wormhole had appeared, it meant Earth Star would be invaded by extraterrestrial forces.
However, he was not worried in the slightest, because he was not an ordinary person either.
For a period of time two and a half years ago, he had constantly had strange dreams. In those dreams, he experienced many worlds and underwent extraordinary adventures.
The dream version of himself possessed unfathomable spells and vast divine powers, capable of anything.
The dreams were too immense. After Xu Yi woke up, he could remember very little, mostly scattered fragments.
But he remembered just a tiny bit of the cultivation technique his dream self had practiced.
He had initially thought it was only a dream and had not taken it seriously, but as he continued practicing, he seemed to become extraordinary.
His entire level of life was undergoing transformation, reaching an unimaginable realm.
This technique was an immortal cultivation technique, though it carried a hint of wickedness.
For cultivation, spiritual energy, spirit stones, and heavenly treasures were indispensable. Without such resources, cultivation was as difficult as ascending to Heaven.
Yet this technique required neither spiritual energy nor any other form of energy. As long as he circulated it, he could grow stronger.
Xu Yi had once believed that he had not yet awakened and was living in a dream within a dream.
"Xu Yi, what are you doing standing by the roadside?"
At that moment, a beautiful and gentle-looking girl in a white dress walked over.
Xu Yi looked at her, understanding dawning on his face.
The girl was named Qi Lin. She was one of this world's female leads and also his childhood sweetheart. They had practically grown up together.
"Looking at the chrysanthemum."
Xu Yi pointed at the wormhole in the sky with a smile.
"A chrysanthemum? I suppose so." Qi Lin could not help laughing, but she also rolled her eyes at Xu Yi.
Then the two entered the café behind them and sat down.
"Aren't you on duty today?"
Xu Yi ordered two cups of coffee along with a fruit platter, cakes, and desserts, then asked casually.
"I'm on vacation," Qi Lin said.
"Oh, that's nice," Xu Yi said.
"That's it? You have nothing else to say?" Qi Lin's expression gradually turned serious.
After all, she was a police officer. Her imposing presence and sharp gaze would probably be unbearable for ordinary people.
"?? Say what?" Xu Yi put on an innocent expression and blinked.
"How many girlfriends have you had this month?" Qi Lin asked.
"Why are you asking that? It's personal privacy, okay?" Xu Yi said.
"Xu Yi, do you think I want to ask? If Auntie hadn't told me to keep an eye on you, I wouldn't bother," Qi Lin said irritably.
In Qi Lin's eyes, Xu Yi was a playboy who did no proper work all day and flirted everywhere he went.
And sometimes, he would sit motionless at home for hours, calling it cultivation.
He seemed to have picked up nearly every bad habit young people could have.
He was clearly a college student, yet he never went to class.
"Qi Lin, you know me. I pass through a sea of flowers without a single petal touching me. I was just making friends, nothing more," Xu Yi explained.
"Bah, I don't want to have to handcuff you someday," Qi Lin said.
"..." Xu Yi said nothing.
"Then why don't you attend class? How will you graduate in the future? And what will you do after graduation?" Qi Lin said.
Xu Yi shook his head and smiled. "Qi Lin, for someone like me, what difference does graduating make?"
"...You rich bastard," Qi Lin grumbled.
The reason Xu Yi could behave so recklessly was naturally his powerful family background. As one of the country's economic centers, Tianhe City drove the nation's GDP.
Angel Group was Tianhe City's most powerful corporate giant, involved in numerous fields and a leader in all of them.
Xu Yi was the sole heir of Angel Group's chairman.
With such a background, whether he graduated or not made little difference.
"But people should have dreams. Young people need some spirit, otherwise how are they any different from salted fish? Don't you have dreams?" Qi Lin asked.
"Qi Lin, we grew up together. You know me. I have no dreams. Being a salted fish is actually pretty nice," Xu Yi said seriously.
"I give up. I really want to arrest you and reform you for a few days," Qi Lin said, nearly losing her composure.
"Ahem, does it include food and lodging?" Xu Yi asked.
"..." Qi Lin said nothing.
"Alright, Qi Lin. Since you've been so earnestly persuasive, I'll make an exception and go to school today. Is that okay?"
Xu Yi noticed that Qi Lin seemed a little angry, so he changed his tune.
Upon hearing that, Qi Lin's expression softened considerably.
"I remember there's a street in Tianhe City with great barbecue. How about we go get some?" Xu Yi suggested.
"I'm dieting," Qi Lin said.
"Qi Lin, with your figure, do you still need to diet? All your flesh grew exactly where it should. I've never seen a girl with a better figure than yours," Xu Yi said.
"You've seen one?" Qi Lin's eyes widened, her cheeks flushing slightly.
"No." Xu Yi shook his head.
Though she claimed to be dieting, Qi Lin still went to Barbecue Street with Xu Yi.
After all, as an intern police officer, she did not have much free time, and she rarely got chances to eat with Xu Yi.
The barbecue restaurant was packed, with only one or two empty tables left outside.
Xu Yi and Qi Lin were lucky enough to catch the very last available table.
"Qi Lin, order whatever you like," Xu Yi said, handing her the menu.
Qi Lin did not stand on ceremony. "Ten skewers of kidneys!"
"Ten Lamb Skewers!"
"Ten skewers of chives!"
"Qi Lin, you like kidneys?" Xu Yi asked strangely.
"No. They're for you. To nourish you," Qi Lin said.
"Why, thank you," Xu Yi said.
He was a Cultivator, after all, with his essence complete and vitality abundant. Though he looked somewhat frail on the surface, he was absurdly strong in reality. That was merely an outward appearance.
"You're welcome," Qi Lin said politely.
Soon, the kidneys, Lamb Skewers, chives, and everything else arrived, the aroma of barbecue filling the air.
Considerately, Qi Lin picked up two kidneys and handed them to Xu Yi. Rarely showing gentleness, she said, "Eat more."
"...You should have some too. This stuff is good for beauty and skincare," Xu Yi said with a knowing smile.
At that moment, the two were like sworn rivals. They looked harmonious enough, but they were secretly competing with each other, neither willing to yield.
While Xu Yi was eating the kidneys, he noticed a Black Silk Beauty appear in front of the barbecue stall. She had a slender figure, especially her long black hair, making her look just like the dream goddess of every shut-in man.
But he quickly withdrew his gaze, because Qi Lin's eyes were like knives, piercingly cold.
Apparently noticing Xu Yi's gaze, the Black Silk Beauty and the bespectacled girl beside her walked over.
"Handsome, mind if we share your table?" the Black Silk Beauty asked with a smile.
