Revitalization of Spirituality: My Front Door Leads to a Miniature Universe

Liuli City, Manor Courtyard.

A small house shimmered with light, and a crack appeared in the void. Gu Yuan emerged from it, holding a toad in his hand. His expression was grave as he looked at the person before him. "I clearly didn't do anything. How did it faint? Does this mean that everyone except me suffers a backlash when traversing the void portal?"

He gently patted the toad's head with his finger, but finally had to slap it hard to wake it up.

"What's wrong with me? My head hurts terribly, like I've been hit in a big sinus..." Toad Hanazawa Rui gradually woke up, but when he saw Gu Yuan's smiling face, his expression immediately changed, turning frighteningly dark. He swung his fists and started fighting with the former.

"Damn brat, you ambushed me again! What excuse are you going to use this time?"

The toad opened its mouth wide, and spittle rained down on the floor. Its golden fist swung incessantly, wielding both magic and physical power.

Thinking back to the first time he inexplicably fainted and then appeared in the Qinling Mountains, the other party said that he had fallen asleep, but now it seems that he was most likely knocked unconscious, which made him furious and determined to settle both the old and new scores.

Gu Yuan was speechless. The opponent's "attack" was too terrifying. He could only keep dodging. Finally, he grabbed the toad's mouth to stop the fight.

"You damn toad, you were the one who fainted, why blame me?"

"I was conscious at first, but then I felt a sharp pain in my head and lost consciousness. Who else could it be but you who hit me?"

The man and the frog started fighting, neither willing to give in.

In the end, Gu Yuan concluded that everyone else except him would inexplicably lose consciousness when passing through the void gate, probably because they could not withstand the mental pressure of traversing the void.

But this is good, it saves him from having to "knock out" the opponent every time he brings people to use the Void Gate.

Finally, the two stopped fighting. Toad, with a bruised and swollen face, was ordered to clean up the saliva in the room, while Gu Yuan went to take a bath.

After spending three days in the Qinling Mountains, my clothes were already tattered and smelled bad, so I had to wash them thoroughly.

While washing up, I reconnected the power to the communicator, which had been turned off. As a result, the communicator started beeping incessantly the moment it was turned on, and it lasted for a full ten minutes.

Gu Yuan swallowed hard. He hadn't been unaware of this situation, but he hadn't expected so many people to come looking for him during the few days he had been missing.

Picking up the communicator and looking through the messages, he found they were all from friends and relatives, including Gu Yuan's parents who had called dozens of times.

Without hesitation, Gu Yuan called back, and soon her parents' anxious voices came from the other end of the line.

"Gu Yuan, is it Gu Yuan?"

"Mom and Dad, it's me. I'm sorry to have worried you these past few days."

"Where have you been, child? I can't get through to you on the phone... I hope nothing bad has happened to you."

......

Gu Yuan listened attentively, offering comfort and explanations along the way.

"You're getting more and more outrageous. Come to Tianyuan City sometime and we'll have to teach you a lesson."

Listening to the nagging on the other end of the phone, Gu Yuan no longer felt the aversion she had felt in previous years, but instead felt a sense of warmth, especially in this rapidly changing world where family ties seem particularly precious.

"Okay, I'll try to get there right away."

Gu Yuan gave a soft "hmm" and hung up the phone.

The thought of the two elders mentioning the word "repair" sent a chill down my spine, and my palms involuntarily became sweaty. The memory of "Seven Wolves Stir-fried Pork" from my childhood was still vivid in my mind. "I'm already twenty-three... I probably won't get beaten up in the past."

Then he called back several good friends, especially Fatty, who called as many times as Gu Yuan's parents: "Hey, Yuanzi, you finally called me back. Are you okay? Everyone online said you died. I almost contacted someone else to hold a memorial service for you. Thank God you came back alive."

Gu Yuan was stunned, unsure whether to be angry or happy... Her forehead was covered in black lines, and she couldn't help but retort, "You really want to eat at the banquet that badly, don't you?"

"Hehe, isn't that just human nature?"

The fat man chuckled carefree, and his genuine joy could be felt even through the screen.

Of course, it wasn't for the feast, but to express their relief that Gu Yuan had returned alive.

He knew that "Niu Da" was Gu Yuan, so he was really shocked when the news of "Niu Da's" death was spread all over the internet.

"What the hell? It's only human nature. Let's go out for a meal tonight, it's on you."

After chatting with the fat man about some recent events, the two hung up the phone.

Then Gu Yuan looked at a prominent name on the communicator—Liu Luochen. She hadn't expected that she had also called a few times. She must have the same feelings as the fat man. The former also knew that Gu Yuan was "Niu Da".

Looking at the name, Gu Yuan hesitated briefly. Ever since the other party frankly said that there was no possibility between them, their relationship seemed to have become a little awkward... He didn't want to touch on it again.

Perhaps this is a common problem for men; when a beautiful woman is out of their reach, they always feel a strange sense of loss.

In the end, he chose to call back. At this moment, the knot in his heart seemed to be untied. No one is anyone else's everything. Looking forward is the only thing. As the "beep beep" sound rang, the call was connected, and both of them remained silent, which was rare for them.

Finally, Liu Luochen spoke first, "Gu Yuan...why aren't you saying anything?"

"I'm taking a bath, so the signal is a bit weak."

Gu Yuan was somewhat lost in thought while holding the communicator until she heard the other party's voice, at which point she snapped out of it and made up a reason.

Are you alright?

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded quite concerned; although the person was trying to keep their emotions low, you could still sense it.

"Full of energy and has a great appetite."

"Okay, contact me if anything comes up."

"Beep beep beep..."

The other party seemed to just want to confirm something before hurriedly hanging up the phone.

Gu Yuan was not surprised by this; that was just his personality—he seemed indifferent to everything and kept people at arm's length.

He then called back more than a dozen people, all asking if he was safe. Gu Yuan guessed that his parents had called to inquire about the situation, which was why they contacted him.

After a long hour, the call finally ended.

Gu Yuan stepped out of the bathtub, and "plop!" A toad suddenly appeared out of nowhere and landed in the tub, splashing a large amount of water. It kept snarling, "I knew you had no good intentions, you were enjoying yourself here while treating me like a slave. Now it's my turn."

You'd better change the water.

"Trying to trick me again. Look how comfortable these bubbles are, so smooth and fragrant. They must have a lot of magic ingredients in them. Let me take a small taste. Hmm, slightly sweet, it tastes like earth milk."

The toad took a small sip, its face showing obvious enjoyment.

"So you like to drink my bathwater. You should have said so earlier, I could have plenty."

Gu Yuan's lips curled into a sly smile, her eyes sparkling as she stared at the former.

"vomit!"

Upon hearing this, the toad's face turned green instantly. He started gagging and vomiting repeatedly, cursing, "Kid, I knew you were up to no good! You actually gave me my bathwater to drink!"

"I told you to change the water, but you wouldn't listen."

Gu Yuan chuckled as she draped a bath towel over herself and strode outside, looking quite composed.

"Who knew your bathwater would smell so good, and have such colorful bubbles..."

The toad was utterly speechless. This was a consequence of its lack of education; it didn't know that shower gel existed... mistaking bathwater for a magic potion.

Once outside, Gu Yuan gazed at the sky.

"Hmm, the air outside is so fresh..."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than twenty fighter jets disintegrated in mid-air. The sky was filled with flames and explosions. The wreckage fell down and crashed heavily to the ground, causing secondary explosions and billowing smoke.

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, her lips twitching, when a loud broadcast came from her ear.

"Attention citizens! Beast King Kong is approaching Crystal City. Please evacuate immediately!"
