"How fierce... When did the Forbidden Sea become so much bigger? No wonder this cat felt like the cave heaven had shrunk while I was sleeping—"
The moment they emerged from the world boundary, Gray Cat looked at the Forbidden Sea and spoke.
"Gray Cat, you've been asleep for over a thousand years. It's only natural that things have changed—"
Lu Hao handed over a cup of deluxe milk tea and got one for himself as well. This deluxe milk tea was made from Life Essence and various energy fruits, along with all kinds of sweet-and-sour candied fruits from Earth. It was an incomparably luxurious drink, custom-made specifically for Gray Cat.
"It really does seem different from back then—"
"Back then, there were so many delicious big fish in the sea. Why are they all gone now? They've all turned into giant octopuses and giant crabs. There aren't any big fish left—"
Gray Cat muttered as it drank its custom milk tea. It had not come out for a long time, so everything seemed novel to it.
"How fierce... Is that the Hope City that old man mentioned? Is there anything tasty there?" Gray Cat asked, looking toward Hope City.
Gray Cat's mental power was extremely strong. There were few in the Three Realms whose mental power could compare to this cat's, so it naturally saw Hope City's situation.
"Yes, that's Hope City, one of humanity's cities in the Earth Cave. There isn't much good food there right now. Once we return to Earth, there'll be delicious food everywhere."
Lu Hao's mental power clearly saw that Lü Zhen had already returned.
Because of Lu Hao's mental power barrier, no one noticed Lü Zhen's condition. It was not until he came within thirty li of Hope City that he was discovered.
