The Journey to the Other World Starting from Douluo.

Chapter 648 Five Days Later, Umaru Arrives Late!

……

The startled wind blew away the sun, and the light flowed westward.

The golden age will never return; a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Time flies, fleeting and ephemeral.

While the eight nations on the continent of Teyvat were busily preparing for their relocation.

Time in the Douluo world keeps flowing and never stops.

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed since Wu Tong first met his little apprentice.

……

Sunset Canyon.

The deepest part of Yu Hui Academy.

Not far from Wu Tong's treehouse.

A simple wooden house, which appeared out of nowhere, quietly stood on this empty land.

The wooden house is about six meters high and has three floors, each with a floor area of ​​nearly 500 square meters.

The wooden house is surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers, planted with all kinds of flowers that should bloom at different times of the year and in different climates.

These flowers, which would never have otherwise gathered together, are now crowding around this wooden house, blooming for one person, looking fantastical and beautiful, absurd and dreamlike.

The exterior walls of the wooden house are covered with lush green vines, which may look a bit messy, but do not actually affect the layout of the house.

On the contrary, the presence of green vines adds a sense of age and epic scale to this already beautiful treehouse.

There is a tall banyan tree in each of the four corners outside the house, like four dutiful guards, protecting the wooden house and sheltering it from the wind and rain and the sun.

A sea of ​​flowers, banyan trees, and green vines...

Everything seemed so vibrant and full of life.

This breathtakingly beautiful scenery transforms this simple wooden house into something resembling a fairytale castle. It appears tranquil yet elegant, simple yet sophisticated, making one feel comfortable at first glance.

The small wooden cabin that suddenly appeared near the treehouse was none other than the residence that Wu Tong had prepared for his young apprentice some time ago.

Five days ago, when he took Umaru out to look for a place to live, they looked at many places, but Umaru was not very satisfied with any of them.

In the end, Wu Tong had no choice but to build this wooden house for Xiao Mai next to his own treehouse, according to her request.

Back then, Wu Tong, who lacked aesthetic sense, spent a lot of effort to build this wooden house. He put a lot of thought and effort into making the wooden house more beautiful.

Although it took a lot of brainpower, seeing his little apprentice's excited smile after it was built made it all worthwhile for Wu Tong.

……

"Wow..."

Suddenly, the window of the cabin opened, and a small head with flaxen hair peeked out.

Upon closer inspection, who else could it be but Doma Umaru?

"Hmm... What a sunny day! Looks like the weather's nice today!"

After peeking out, Umaru first looked up at the sky. Seeing that the sky was cloudless and clear, she stretched and sighed softly.

I've been in this new world for about a week now, and I've gone from feeling lost and confused when I first arrived to feeling calm and at ease now.

Whenever she recalls this period of her life, Xiaomai feels as if it were a dream, always with a hazy, unreal feeling.

Fortunately, the care and help from her new friends and her master and mistress helped her integrate into this world and dispel her confusion!
Now, Umaru has completely accepted the fact that she has been transported to another world, has become a cultivator, and has taken on a master who is not only incredibly powerful but also dotes on her!
Thinking of her master and mistress and the friends she had made these past few days, Xiaomai's lips immediately curled up slightly, forming a beautiful arc on her delicate little face.

and many more……

Master?!
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Umaru froze in her half-stretched position and quickly turned to look at the time displayed on the clock on the wall.

"10:49?!?"

"Oh no, yesterday the master said we'd meet at ten o'clock, how did I oversleep?"

"Damn alarm clock, I set it right away and now it's acting up. I knew it wouldn't work..."

Seeing that it was already this time, Umaru let out a wail and quickly started getting dressed, washing up, and getting ready.

While tidying himself up, he also made sure to shirk responsibility.

However, for some unknown reason, her attempt to shirk responsibility resulted in a delicate fist mark on her head. The alarm clock, now a piece of scrap metal and completely unusable, said: It has done its best!

Perhaps it was because all their potential had been unleashed, or perhaps it was because they had embarked on the path of cultivation and become cultivators.

Umaru was very quick to wash and get ready this time; in less than ten minutes, she had completely finished washing and getting ready.

This speed was completely unlike how fast she usually washed up.

But now it's been done so easily, which makes one marvel at how pressure can stimulate a person's potential.

After washing up, Umaru didn't even have time for breakfast. She grabbed her hat from behind the door and rushed out, heading straight for the treehouse.

……

"I'm so sorry, Master, I'm late!"

Upon arriving at the treehouse, Umaru didn't even have time to knock before pushing the door open and walking inside.

As soon as she entered the door, without even caring about anything else or seeing the situation inside, Umaru immediately bowed and apologized.

At this moment, she felt uneasy and anxious. Xiaomai was very afraid that her lateness would affect the teacher's impression of her.

The thought that the gentle and kind teacher would show disappointment in her because of this filled Umaru with regret.
I should have stayed up so late last night and gone to bed earlier!

However, it was too late for regrets now. Xiaomai could only wait anxiously for Wu Tong's judgment.

but……

One second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed...

A minute passed and still no one spoke. Only then did Umaru realize something was wrong and secretly looked up.

Hmm, very good...

no one!

To the north!
Was she giving a flirtatious look to a blind man?

At this moment, Nangong Yun, who was cleaning, heard the sound coming from the door and came down from the fifth floor.

"Mamoru-chan?"

Upon seeing Xiaomai for the first time, Nangong Yun's face immediately showed surprise and delight.

What brings you here today?

As he spoke, Nangong Yun walked to Xiaomai's side, took her arm affectionately, and looked at her gently, asking:

"Is something wrong? Or did someone bully you? Tell your master's wife, and she'll stand up for you!"

As for his young master's first little apprentice, Nangong Yun, who deeply loved Wu Tong, naturally adored him as well. In addition, due to the art style, Umaru's appearance was also very youthful.

So after meeting Umaru, Nangong Yun was overwhelmed with maternal instincts and especially liked to hold Umaru's hand and talk to her in the manner of an elder.

"No, Master's wife, all the students in the academy already know who I am. Who would dare to bully me!"

Looking at Nangong Yun, the master's wife who, despite wearing a maid outfit, possessed the same gentle and considerate demeanor as her mother, Xiaomai felt a warmth in her heart and quickly waved her hand with a smile.

After saying that, Xiaomai remembered her purpose for coming, and then told Nangong Yun everything about why she had come:
"The reason I'm here now is because my master told me yesterday to come at ten o'clock to gather. He said he would take me to an interesting place, but I'm late today..."

At this point, a blush of shyness and regret appeared on Xiaomai's face.

However, she didn't stop talking; she continued:
"So I've come to apologize to my master!"

"Here to apologize?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Xiaomai's words, Nangong Yun covered his mouth and chuckled, saying:

"Haha...no need for an apology!"

"Young Master doesn't know you're late; he still hasn't gotten up."

Having only been in this world for seven days, and not fully aware of Wu Tong's true nature, Xiao Mai was immediately filled with surprise upon hearing this:
"what?"

"Oh, by the way, you've only been here for about a week, so you probably don't know about this yet!"

When Nangong Yun saw Xiaomai's surprised expression, he was taken aback at first, but then he immediately realized what was going on.

So he grabbed Xiaomai's hand, turned and walked towards the sofa, saying as he went:

"Come, come in and sit down, Xiaomai. Let me tell you about things related to the young master..."

Out of respect and admiration for Nangong Yun, her teacher's wife, Xiaomai did not break free from Nangong Yun's hand.

In addition, she was very curious about her master's past, so she followed Nangong Yun's lead and walked step by step toward the sofa.

……

Time flies, and it's noon.

Wu Tong opened his eyes while lying in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought.
Hmm, it's noon!
That was a really good night's sleep!
I just always feel like I've forgotten something...

Hmm... never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore.

If you can't remember it, then it means it's not important at all.

So Wu Tong quickly put the doubts that had arisen in his mind out of his head.

He then looked at the few people who were still fast asleep beside him.

The Five Stars: Ruan Qingyan, Zhu Zhuqing, Yun Ying, Dai Yueyao, and Dai Yueheng.

Hmm...that's right, the women who served me last night were still them.

Hey, this doesn't mean Wu Tong is fickle; it's just that it happened to be their turn last night.

Looking at the five women, Wu Tong couldn't help but smile, and an inexplicable happiness suddenly welled up in his heart:
He wakes up and holds the power of the world, but he lies drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman.

The dream that all men in the world crave and yearn for most is clearly revealed in his hands.

To this, Wu Tong could only say one thing: Awesome...

"嘤咛~"

Seemingly sensing that someone was watching her, Ruan Qingyan, who was a light sleeper, let out a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes.

"woke up?"

Wu Tong reached out and pulled her into his arms, looking down at the dazed girl in his arms—no, she should be called a young woman!
Wu Tong looked at the dazed girl in his arms and asked with a light laugh.

"Hmm~ Good morning, my husband!"

Although Ruan Qingyan was a little dazed when she first woke up, she was already fully awake when Wu Tong pulled her into his arms.

So, when faced with Wu Tong's gentle advances, she simply blushed and softly hummed in agreement, then buried her head in Wu Tong's arms with a blissful expression and murmured.

Good morning, honey, are you ready to get up?

Wu Tong felt a head nuzzling against his chest like a little pig, and wrapped his arms around it, enjoying this moment of tenderness.

"Emmm...no, let me sleep a little longer."

After thinking for a moment, Ruan Qingyan shook her head.

Yesterday was so crazy!

Her body hasn't recovered yet, and getting out of bed, such a strenuous activity, is incredibly difficult for her right now.

"Okay, if you don't want to get up, then don't. You can take this time to rest properly. After all, you were quite tired last night, weren't you?"

As he spoke, Wu Tong seemed to recall the madness of last night, and teased Ruan Qingyan in his arms.

"Humph~"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Qingyan wrinkled her nose slightly and let out a cute muffled groan, but made no other sound.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing Ruan Qingyan's adorable appearance, Wu Tong laughed heartily, then pulled her into a tight embrace.

"嘤~"

As Wu Tong held her, Ruan Qingyan felt the masculine scent coming from her nostrils and couldn't help but let out a whimper like a small animal.

However, the sound was fleeting. If the bedroom hadn't been so quiet, and if Wu Tong hadn't had such excellent hearing, he might not have even noticed it.

However, although he discovered it, Wu Tong did not point it out.

Because Ruan Qingyan is a bit introverted, those teasing remarks had already pushed her to her limit.

As the saying goes, too much of a good thing is bad.

If we continue to provoke her, this little girl might actually get angry.

Wu Tong didn't want his wife to get angry over such a trivial matter; it wasn't worth it at all!

When Ruan Qingyan came to her senses, she naturally knew that Wu Tong had heard her voice. Just as she was nervously preparing to accept Wu Tong's teasing and then use it as an excuse to lash out and change the subject,

However, they discovered that Wu Tong had no intention of revealing it.

Seeing this, Ruan Qingyan felt a surge of sweetness in her heart. She tightened her grip on Wu Tong's waist and pressed her entire body against him!

With the soft, fragrant jade in his arms, Wu Tong naturally wouldn't refuse such a wonderful thing.

And so, without saying a word, the two tacitly moved on from the topic.

They embraced tightly, lying quietly on the bed, enjoying this relaxing and pleasant time.

After a while, Ruan Qingyan seemed to remember something, looked up at Wu Tong, and asked with a curious expression:
"By the way, husband, didn't you say last night that you needed me to come find you at ten o'clock today? Aren't you getting up now?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Tong paused in his actions.
