Coordinates, Encountering Nannan

Yan Capital.

Inside an inn, Chen Yu and the other two sat by a first-floor window, watching pedestrians come and go on the street while listening to the discussions in the hall.

"I heard the several Blessed Lands suffered heavy losses in the Demon Emperor's Tomb incident."

"Heh, they chose to explore it themselves instead of reporting it. They should have been prepared for this."

"I heard there was another tomb as well. I wonder what its situation is now."

"What does that have to do with us? No matter how great the opportunity is, it isn't something little Sea of Bitterness cultivators like us can lay hands on."

Chen Yu and the other two said nothing, quietly listening to their discussion.

Chen Yu was not surprised in the slightest by the appearance of the Demon Emperor's Yin Tomb. When they left, there had already been over ten thousand cultivators there. Only more cultivators would have arrived afterward. It was entirely possible that a few had accidentally fallen into the Cold Pool where the Yin Tomb lay and triggered the Killing Formation left behind by the Demon Emperor.

Once they realized they could not hear any useful information, the three quickly finished eating and headed upstairs. Three spirit weapons were still waiting for them in the Mall.

After entering the room, Chen Yu took three treasures from the Mall: a turquoise dagger, a crystal-clear jade fan, and a purple thumb ring.

Chen Yu eagerly called to Ye Fan and Zhang Sanfeng, "Take a look. If there's anything you like, pick first. We don't stand on ceremony with each other."

Ye Fan and Zhang Sanfeng did not hold back either. They were all dirt poor now, so there was no need to put on airs. Besides, these were their first true immortal magical artifacts. Those damaged Buddhist artifacts from before did not count.

In the end, Ye Fan took the turquoise dagger, Zhang Sanfeng took the purple thumb ring, and the jade fan was left for Chen Yu.

After dividing the treasures, Ye Fan and Zhang Sanfeng returned to their rooms, while Chen Yu lay on his bed and sorted through the memory fragments he had obtained.

After a while, Chen Yu suddenly jumped out of bed and began pacing around the room, his face full of excitement.

While sorting through the residual soul's memory fragments, he had discovered not only the Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor, but also an ownerless small world.

The ownerless small world had been discovered by the residual soul and its companions during their travels. They had explored it together, but only the residual soul had made it out. Afterward, it had not reported the small world's existence, intending to return and claim it once it had grown stronger. Unfortunately...

"Heh, an unexpected gain, an unexpected gain! Hahaha..."

Chen Yu muttered for quite a while, eventually even beginning to dance with excitement.

Only after some time did his mood finally settle, though his violently pounding heart proved that he was still thrilled.

Chen Yu suddenly thought of a question. Could the Chat Group mark coordinates in another world, allowing them to travel there freely?

It seemed no one had ever asked the Chat Group a question before. He had no idea whether it would respond.

Chen Yu still decided to ask. Perhaps the Chat Group would answer.

[Chen Yu: Chat Group, can you help us establish coordinates in another world? The kind that lets us travel there freely.]

[Xiao Yan: What do you mean, Brother Chen?]

[Chen Yu: Every time we travel, we appear beside a group member. It's inconvenient when we want to do things, and people can easily tell that we're connected.]

[Xiao Yan: ...]

[Ye Fan: ...Why did you suddenly have this idea?]

Before Chen Yu could answer, the Chat Group responded.

[Ding, yes. Only one coordinate can be left in each world (life-bearing planet), and once established, it cannot be changed. Consent from the group member of that world is required, along with an enormous number of points. This coordinate can only be used by group members themselves and cannot bring others along, including residual souls.]

The group fell silent for a moment. None of them had expected the Chat Group to respond.

[Xiao Yan: I object! If my master won't leave me, doesn't that mean I can't use this function?]

[Ye Fan: Why didn't the Chat Group say this from the beginning? I've already left Earth, so even knowing about it now is useless.]

[Chen Yu: It would have been useless even if you had known back then. Take a look at the points required first!]

[Xiao Yan: Fuck, one hundred million points? Who can afford that?]

[Ye Fan: Relying on check-ins won't work. The most you can get from a check-in is only 100 points. It would take thousands of years of check-ins.]

[Ye Fan: This is unbearable. With that much time, we could cultivate until we could cross the starry sky.]

[Chen Yu: The Chat Group is probably counting on us robbing things and selling them to it. There may be similar functions later on, and it'll make us willingly earn points.]

Early the next morning, Chen Yu and Ye Fan went out to gather information, while Zhang Sanfeng remained at the inn to cultivate.

When they returned to the first floor of the inn, the two casually found a seat. They did not look around, merely ate their meal, but their ears were already pricked as they quietly listened to the conversation at the next table.

"The Primitive Ruins are utter chaos now! People are dying every moment."

"Heh, treasures stir people's hearts. If you went there, you should have been prepared to leave your life behind."

"Haha, exactly. Many disciples from the major Blessed Lands have been sent to the Primitive Ruins to search for treasures. I wonder how many will make it back?"

"It would be better if they didn't. Once they're badly weakened, our lives will be easier."

"Shh, keep it down. You can't say things like that carelessly. It'll get you killed."

After finishing their meal, Chen Yu and Ye Fan left the inn. Chen Yu planned to learn about the market prices of medicinal herbs in this world and see whether he could cultivate them with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well later.

The moment they stepped out of the inn, they were stopped by a little girl.

"Big brothers... I'm hungry. Please buy me a steamed bun. Nannan is really, really hungry."

The little girl looked four or five years old. She was filthy all over, dressed in tattered clothes, with grime covering her face. Only her eyes were bright and clear as she looked up at them pitifully.

The moment he saw the little girl, Chen Yu's entire body jolted. Little Nannan.

Chen Yu said nothing and waited for Ye Fan's decision.

Although Ye Fan was also afraid of the Ruthless Empress, he could not refuse this pitiful little girl, nor could he bring himself to do so.

So he smiled at Little Nannan. "All right. Big Brother will buy you something to eat."

With that, he directly took Little Nannan's hand and walked forward, while Chen Yu silently followed beside them.

He did not know whether the Great Emperor had watched them while they cultivated in the Ancient Forbidden Land, but most likely she had. After all, she had brought Ye Fan there, so she would have needed to ensure his safety.

For the rest of the time, Ye Fan took Little Nannan around to buy all kinds of food. Then he took her to bathe and bought her new clothes, doing everything he could as well as possible.

"Little Nannan, how about staying with Big Brother from now on?"

After taking Little Nannan around for an hour, Ye Fan finally decided to keep her by his side. How could such a young girl go without anyone to care for her? Ye Fan absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.

"Okay, okay!" Little Nannan happily clapped her hands and cheered. Someone was finally willing to take her in.

Chen Yu could not help rolling his eyes beside them. You're just a little Sea of Bitterness rookie. Can you even take care of Little Nannan? Don't tell me you found yourself a free bodyguard!
