CSMCDB - Chapter 216
Chapter 216
On the Starry Sky Continent, there was nowhere Saint-level Wen Yuncheng and Saint-level Lin Jinyu couldn't go.
After their grand wedding, they began a walking journey. At first, they revisited all the places they had gone on dates, then they started visiting various scenic spots.
Wen Yuncheng would casually pick a few herbs, while Lin Jinyu would...
They traveled through mountains and seas. They watched the ocean tides, visited desert oases, and passed by steep cliffs. Whenever they stopped in a town, they would always overhear the residents chatting about Wen Yuncheng. At times like these, Wen Yuncheng would look at Lin Jinyu, embarrassed, and mutter softly, "You're the real god of the Starry Sky Continent."
"You are too." Lin Jinyu hooked her finger around Wen Yuncheng's. "You are my god."
"...Such a smooth talker." Wen Yuncheng grumbled, feeling a bit put out. She was supposed to be the one saying sweet nothings like that; Lin Jinyu was supposed to be the recipient.
"Alright, then I take it back."
"Ahem!" Wen Yuncheng cleared her throat, took Lin Jinyu's hand, and placed a kiss on the back of it. "My dear, I am your most devout believer."
The "dad" system looked up at the sky, saying nothing. Following these two on their tour of the continent, it had become a qualified, invisible third wheel.
Traversing the entire Starry Sky Continent and seeing all its beautiful sights sounded like a very long process. But Wen Yuncheng and Lin Jinyu were in no hurry at all; they had plenty of time.
Having reached the Saint level, they could slow their pace to carefully appreciate the beauty of nature and experience its most primal form of splendor.
It was more like a period of settling, a cleansing and purification of the soul.
They could start and stop whenever they pleased. They could watch the sunrise, see the afterglow of sunset, and even when the stars twinkled in the night sky, Lin Jinyu no longer closed her eyes to cultivate as she used to. Instead, she would lie hand-in-hand with Wen Yuncheng on an open grassland, casually counting the stars with her lover.
This is probably the kind of life a salted fish yearns for, isn't it? Wen Yuncheng thought.
High mountains, great rivers, vast seas, yellow sands... even the bottom of the deep ocean. Wen Yuncheng and Lin Jinyu traveled together through every corner of the continent.
Then, with the accumulation of time, they reached the maximum level. Wen Yuncheng became a god, and Lin Jinyu broke through.
"So this is what it feels like to be a god." Wen Yuncheng clenched her fist. It didn't feel much different from before. Although she could now seemingly draw upon the power of universal laws with ease, it all felt a bit surreal.
The Starry Sky Plane welcomed its Child of the Plane, a true god of the starry sky.
At first, both Lin Jinyu and Wen Yuncheng found it novel.
But they later discovered that life after becoming a god wasn't all that interesting.
Wen Yuncheng stroked her chin and began to consider the matter of interplanar travel. If possible, she wanted to take a trip to Earth and show Lin Jinyu the world where she once lived. Although her Little Ice Mountain was all grown up now, Wen Yuncheng still felt she should take her to an amusement park on Earth, let her see all sorts of electronic gadgets, and then watch her Little Ice Mountain visit playgrounds, botanical gardens, aquariums, and all kinds of other places.
After becoming gods, a much wider world awaited them.
"Let's go through the process. I'll have to report this to 1947 and have it help submit the application," Wen Yuncheng mused. "Let's make Earth the first stop. I want to take you to see my former home."
"Okay." Lin Jinyu looked at Wen Yuncheng and said earnestly, "It must be a very beautiful place."
"Because it produced a beauty like me?" Wen Yuncheng joked with a laugh, only to see Lin Jinyu nod seriously. Her heart softened, and she leaned over to kiss her Little Ice Mountain's cheek. "Alright, but before we go there, I want to take a trip to the Huanling Continent and pay that Illusion God a visit."
"Perhaps my mechanical abilities will be useful," Lin Jinyu said. "I'll control you while you're on auto-pilot, and you can just unleash your ultimate move and kill him... just kidding, 'kill' is an exaggeration. After all, gods can't die."
"But how do we disguise ourselves to enter the Huanling Continent?" Hmm, 1947 probably has a way. I wonder if this counts as a violation? Surely not. This is a personal grudge. Wen Yuncheng stroked her chin, muttering to herself, then started writing down the rest of her plan. "Are there any continents you want to visit?"
"I'd like to see what a cultivation world is like. They should have sword immortals there, right?" Lin Jinyu tilted her head. "I'm a little curious whose swordsmanship is superior, a sword immortal from that world or me."
"Then the second stop is a cultivation continent. Third stop... hmm, I wonder if there's a continent with elves and magic? Let me check the system... Search... Found it!" Wen Yuncheng flipped through the countless travel brochures for continents provided by 1947 and found the "Continent of Light and Magic." "This one has magic, blood-kin, and elves... Oh, and here's a Continent of Witches and Dragons."
"What's this? Supernatural? Is it Eastern ghosts or Western ghouls? Whatever, we'll know when we get there."
A long list was drawn up. So there are benefits to becoming a god after all! Wen Yuncheng thought.
Before becoming a god, you can only travel within your own plane. After becoming a god, you can travel to all sorts of different continents and worlds!
"If we go to other planes, how will you recharge your mechanical apostles?" Lin Jinyu suddenly thought of a problem.
"Let me think. Hmm... The planes shouldn't be able to sever our connection, so I should still be able to recharge them," Wen Yuncheng said seriously. "If I can't connect remotely, then I'll just come back for a visit every once in a while."
"Then think it through," Lin Jinyu nodded. "But... is it really okay for me to leave this place?"
"It's fine, Baby Voice still has Senior Star Saint!" Wen Yuncheng wrapped an arm around Lin Jinyu, stopping her Little Ice Mountain from dwelling on such things. "Put thoughts of your plane aside for now and look at these. Are you satisfied with these tourist spots? We can add more."
"They look very novel," Lin Jinyu said. "It will probably be a very interesting journey."
The Starry Sky Consciousness sat expressionlessly in the sea of stars. It watched its two Children of the Plane incessantly looking at the travel applications in their hands, discussing their next destination, completely ignoring it. Finally, Baby Voice couldn't take it anymore. It huffed twice, but failed to attract any attention from the pair.
Angry.
Baby Voice was getting annoyed. It removed 1947 from its blacklist and sent a message: "【You bastard!】"
[?]
Before 1947 could reply, Baby Voice, having vented its anger, threw 1947 back onto the blacklist.
If they want to go play, then let them... Anyway, it's not being targeted by any other plane consciousnesses right now, and it has no intention of devouring any either.
Hmm, I have to see that Star Saint again. I wonder if that guy has missed me. Sigh, if only I could go out and play too. Why can't that Star Saint manage the Starry Sky Plane by himself?
So useless!
The tool man does his duty.
【Don't like!】
【System locking...】
"1947, why is this locking function still here? Shouldn't you have upgraded by now?" Wen Yuncheng sat on the grass eating barbecue, propping her chin on one hand as she complained about 1947's incompetence.
"Because you're poor," 1947 said coldly. 【Host has been detected insulting the System. The System will not provide the Host with any assistance.】
"Don't be like that, I'm just poor... Ah, why is the meat burnt?" Wen Yuncheng fumbled, quickly flipping the meat over. "1947, is there a water source nearby?"
【Host has been detected encountering difficulty. The System will automatically activate navigation.】 1947 said, 【There is a water source three hundred meters to the northeast. Host, you have deviated from your course. Please recalculate your route.】
"I know, I know." Wen Yuncheng rolled her eyes, thinking to herself that 1947 was still such a tsundere. She held the barbecued meat in front of Lin Jinyu. "Darling, open your mouth."
Lin Jinyu opened her mouth and took a bite. Then she praised, "Delicious."
【...】 Why is it here watching these two display their affection? Also, has it forgotten something? Oh, right, it forgot to blacklist Wen Yuncheng.
【Host has been detected engaging in public displays of affection. The System will now automatically block the Host.】
Wen Yuncheng: "..." Seriously, what's with this 1947? She had just remembered, wasn't the Star Saint somewhere around here?
"1947, get out here! Are you itching for a beating again?!"
【...】 1947 silently un-blacklisted her and pretended nothing had happened. 【Host, did you call me?】
"Heh, did you forget something?" Wen Yuncheng sneered.
【...】 1947 fell silent, then said, 【Host, a Star Saint has been detected in your vicinity. Please be advised.】
"Heh, so you do know!" Wen Yuncheng laughed in exasperation. No wonder 1947 had been so quiet lately—it had forgotten about her! She knew it! That damn 1947!
【...】 1947 silently blacklisted Wen Yuncheng again, then thought, Should I find a new host? This host is too much of a dog. I should probably switch.
"Xiao Wen, you're back! Come, sit down, have some tea."
"Xiao Wen, did you have fun on your trip? Take me with you next time."
"Xiao Wen, you..."
"Shut up!" Wen Yuncheng couldn't take it anymore and sent the chattering Star Saint flying with a kick. "If you keep blabbering, believe it or not, I'll throw you to the dogs."
The Star Saint, aggrieved: "..."
"How can you speak to the Star Saint like that?" Lin Jinyu, who was standing nearby, couldn't watch any longer. She walked over, helped the Star Saint up, and then said, "You should throw him to the pigs."
Star Saint: "..."
"Xiao Wen, are you guys going to travel to other planes? Take me with you."
"Take you? What for?" Wen Yuncheng was wary.
"To have fun! I'm so bored all by myself on the Starry Sky Continent," the Star Saint said pitifully.
"No," Wen Yuncheng refused.
"Why?"
"Because you're ugly."
"..." The Star Saint was speechless with anger. "Where am I ugly?!"
"You're ugly everywhere," Wen Yuncheng said. "Look at you, you look like you were in a hurry to be born. How can you have the nerve to say you're not ugly?"
"..." The Star Saint took a deep breath, telling himself not to stoop to Wen Yuncheng's level. He turned to look at Lin Jinyu. "Xiao Lin, you..."
"My wife is right," Lin Jinyu said succinctly.
Star Saint: "..."
"Xiao Wen, are you really not taking me?"
"We're not."
"Take me with you. I can be your manual laborer."
"Not needed."
"I can be your bodyguard."
"Not needed."
"I can be your..."
"Shut up!" Wen Yuncheng couldn't stand it. "If you keep blabbering, believe it or not, I'll throw you to the dogs."
Star Saint: "..."
"Xiao Wen, when are you coming back?"
"Don't know."
"Then will you bring me back a gift?"
"No."
"..." The Star Saint was aggrieved. "Why?"
"Because you're ugly."
"..."
