Chen Honghu looked at the little boy with a complicated expression. He couldn't figure out the boy's true abilities; perhaps the boy's cultivation level far surpassed his own intelligence.
"Aren't you afraid I'm lying to you?" For some reason, Chen Honghu couldn't help but ask.
This little boy is clearly ranked second on the Primordial Talent Rankings, how can he have such a simple mind?
To everyone's surprise, the little boy chuckled and said, "If you were lying to me, I could tell! But I don't think you were lying to me just now!"
"And I can tell you're a good person!"
His words were roundabout, and the little boy couldn't help but shake his head as he spoke, looking incredibly innocent.
Chen Honghu's feelings became even more complicated. Just as he was about to say something, the little boy shifted his gaze to a spot not far away.
Seeing the little boy's innocent smile vanish, Chen Honghu assumed he had discovered some danger and quickly raised his cultivation level to turn around.
However, as far as the eye could see, there was a vast and boundless starry sky, with faint light emanating from those ancient stars.
If we disregard the current situation, this would be an extremely beautiful scene.
However, in the instant he turned around, Chen Honghu immediately released his spiritual power.
Even as he did this, he was still quite puzzled. Although Chen Honghu had just been talking to the little boy, he had been on alert about the surrounding situation the whole time.
If something really happened, how could I not be aware of it?
There's only one possibility for this to happen: the crisis they're about to face far exceeds their capabilities!
Thinking of this, Chen Honghu's heart leaped with a long-lost sense of unease.
However, after waiting for a long time without any movement, the little boy spoke first, "There are so many stars here!"
"It looks quite unique, would you like some?"
These words startled Chen Honghu, who was on high alert. He instinctively turned around, looked at the little boy's innocent face, and couldn't help but repeat, "Want some?"
This was said in a vague and unclear way, and Chen Honghu really couldn't understand it!
However, the next moment, Chen Honghu understood what the little boy meant!
The little boy opened his mouth and took a deep breath towards the distant starry sky.
A huge black vortex appeared in front of the little boy, and his mouth grew larger and larger, and his head seemed to grow bigger as well...
Then, a planet from the distant sky was uncontrollably sucked into the black hole and fell into the little boy's stomach.
"Burp..." This action lasted for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before the little boy finally closed his mouth, let out a satisfied burp, and patted his belly, which hadn't changed much.
Seeing the joyful smile on the little boy's face, Chen Honghu felt his worldview had been greatly shaken!
"What... what level of cultivation are you at?" Chen Honghu looked at the little boy and couldn't help but blurt out.
However, as soon as he said those words, Chen Honghu regretted it. Upon reflection, he realized that he and the little boy weren't that close, so how could the boy easily tell him something like that?
He had been in this Clear Void Immortal Domain for quite some time, and the cultivators here were generally stronger than Chen Honghu, which was quite unusual for someone with such a strong sense of pride.
Although he already knew that the little boy was the second most talented person on the talent ranking list, his seemingly dazed appearance and cute looks made Chen Honghu feel a little protective of him.
However, the little boy's words just now made Chen Honghu realize just how unfathomable the opponent's strength was!
In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts raced through Chen Honghu's mind.
However, the little boy remained in a daze, seemingly lost in thought after Chen Honghu's words.
"Uh, what level? I don't know. Whenever I'm hungry, I can eat whatever I want as long as I open my mouth! But I'm not hungry now."
"When I'm not hungry, I feel so weak! So, I guess I'm not that strong!"
"But it doesn't matter, strength or not, the most important thing is eating! As long as it doesn't affect my eating, it doesn't matter!"
As the little boy spoke, he tried to put his finger in his mouth and suck on it a couple of times.
Chen Honghu looked at the adorable little boy with a complicated feeling, but seeing his dusty face and dirty little hands, Chen Honghu couldn't help but speak up.
"Your hands are so dirty! Don't put them in your mouth, it's unhygienic!"
As soon as he said that, the little boy stopped moving, his mouth agape, looking rather dim-witted.
"Aren't you really going to have some?" The little boy's gaze returned to the distant starry sky.
Chen Honghu shook his head speechlessly.
Seeing Chen Honghu's expression, the little boy became anxious and climbed onto Chen Honghu's lap, saying with a serious face, "You should eat some, the star food here is so delicious!"
"Oh, and... what's more! Eating these stars can also increase your strength!"
After saying that, the little boy innocently winked at Chen Honghu.
Chen Honghu looked at the little boy clinging to his leg, then at the already dimmed starry sky in the distance, then at his own stomach, and finally spoke.
"Never mind, I can't eat anymore, you eat it!"
Even if you do eat, don't eat too much. If you keep eating like you did before, you'll get full!
"I'll take you away from here after you've eaten your fill!"
The little boy was still confused by what he heard. He shook his head, as if he had no idea what it felt like to be stuffed.
However, Chen Honghu's gentle demeanor still pleased the little boy, so he nodded with a smile, "Okay!"
"You really are a good person. No one has ever said that to me except my father and mother!"
As he said this, a rare complex expression appeared on the little boy's innocent face, but this complex expression vanished in an instant, because the next second, he opened his mouth again.
A massive black hole has formed again, relentlessly absorbing the surrounding stars.
Looking at the sky, where hundreds of stars had disappeared in an instant, Chen Honghu felt an overwhelming sense of desolation and couldn't help but say, "Eat slowly, don't rush!"
Unfortunately, the little boy was no longer listening to Chen Honghu. It took him a full half hour to finally pat his belly in satisfaction.
Looking out at the pitch-black starry sky, Chen Honghu, with the little boy in tow, finally embarked on their journey into the secret realm!
