Forced to walk in the world of anime

###112, Qintianzhu###

Chu Xing's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he looked at the woman rushing towards him. He was no good person to begin with, and he had no reason to dodge or take a hit just because she was a woman! When it was time to kill, he wouldn't show the slightest mercy!

"stop!"

Just as this woman was about to say goodbye to this world, a loud and authoritative voice came from behind Chu Xing. From the voice, Chu Xing could tell that the person behind him was probably a wealthy tycoon in his forties who had gained weight in middle age!

The woman was quite obedient upon hearing this voice. Her unstoppable demeanor vanished instantly. She took small, quick steps and brushed past Chu Xing, who had almost killed her, before embracing his arm, which was as thick as her leg!

"Honey, this delivery guy is bullying me! He even hit my chest!"

This woman was probably a drama queen reincarnated; the next second she suddenly burst into tears, making it seem as if Chu Xing really wanted to do something to her!

The wealthy man the woman was hugging also turned his gaze to Chu Xing, sizing him up for a moment before asking with a flickering look, "Young man, who are you? Do you also live here?"

Chu Xing turned around and looked over. As he expected, the other person was indeed a middle-aged man, and a rather bloated one at that. However, compared to the graceful young lady next to him, this middle-aged man was much more intelligent from any angle. The look in his eyes was that of an old fox, showing that he was no ordinary person!

But thinking about it, it makes sense. People who can live here either come from powerful families or have something special about them. Otherwise, do you really think that this high-end villa area is just a place for anyone to live?

"It should be fine, I can stay here! After all, I'll have a house that belongs to me tomorrow!"

Chu Xing smiled calmly and said that since the other party did not confront him right away, it meant that the other party did not want to cause trouble. Perhaps the two of them could have a good chat. After all, the other party was a big shot living in the city garden. In any case, it would be better to become enemies than friends!

"Oh! I see!"

The middle-aged man, who looked wealthy, glanced at himself again, nodding to himself with an air of knowing but not understanding.

"Snapped!"

Just then, the middle-aged man coughed and slapped the pitiful-looking woman next to him. He then said to Chu Xing, "Young man, I'm sorry, my woman offended you. I apologize first. If I'm not mistaken, you should be the person Miss Bai was talking about, right?"

"Miss Bai?"

Chu Xing was taken aback at first, then immediately thought of Bai Yurou and asked with some doubt, "How did you know? Could it be that you are also a member of that woman's family?"

"Haha, I'm not that lucky to be a member of the Bai family! Young man, you must be extraordinary to have won Miss Bai's favor. I suppose Miss Bai has already chosen a good place for you in this garden in the city?"

After the middle-aged man finished saying these flattering words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had heard some things today and hadn't foolishly acted rashly, otherwise he would have really offended someone he shouldn't have!

Chu Xing nodded to himself, his mind racing. Although he knew Bai Yurou was indeed from a wealthy and powerful family, he hadn't expected that everything she did would attract so much attention! He had only met her briefly, and even such a small matter had become known to the upper class. The elite circle was truly chaotic!

Immediately, Chu Xing's gaze fell on the woman who was looking at him with fear and panic. He couldn't help but smile and said, "That's true. You're really smart, unlike that woman next to me! I don't know what she was thinking. She thought I looked like a food delivery guy? I'm not wearing a yellow shirt or a helmet, so what makes me look like a food delivery guy?"

"Humph!"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly at the woman beside him, glanced at her, and then smiled warmly at Chu Xing, saying, "Young man, please forgive her! This woman comes from the countryside and doesn't know many things. She may look like a noblewoman on the surface, but she's ultimately just a worthless piece of dog meat. She's a far cry from the upper class. Especially someone as unassuming and low-key as you, young man, the difference is like heaven and earth!"

"hehe!"

Chu Xing was quite pleased with the flattery and then said, "Since you're here now, can I come into this villa area with you? The security guards wouldn't let me in, and I figured they're not having an easy time either, so I didn't insist. But since you're here, why don't you help me out? We've met before!"

"Haha, what do you mean by 'helping out'? Even if I had to help you ten, a hundred, or a thousand times, I'd still be willing! After all, helping you is an honor!"

The middle-aged man showered Chu Xing with flattery, and then pulled out a small, gold-plated piece of paper from his pocket—the price of which was probably not low—and handed it to Chu Xing!

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "This is my business card. I have connections with some nightclubs around here. If you need to have fun or have any insider activities, feel free to contact me. I guarantee I'll arrange things for you at the highest level!"

"Oh, thank you so much!" Chu Xing replied with a smile. Looking closely at the business card, she saw that the man had a very imposing name—Qin Tianzhu!

Optimus Prime? That's quite an unusual name! Chu Xing couldn't help but wonder if he had a younger brother named Bumblebee?

The two of them then walked side by side through the city's garden villa area. The woman from before, who had been following two people for the first two minutes, disappeared after a while, probably because she felt a little embarrassed.

It didn't matter, neither of them were interested, so they were only focused on this woman. Qin Tianzhu was probably getting tired of her, and Chu Xing wouldn't have any thoughts about someone with such an overpowering perfume scent. After all... Chu Xing remembered his two former daughters, who smelled wonderful. Their fragrance was much better than this perfume of some unknown brand!

Upon entering the City Garden, Chu Xing couldn't help but admire it. Although he knew that the City Garden had done a very good job in terms of landscaping and details, he had never been inside before. Moreover, the City Garden didn't have any promotional videos. After all, people who can afford such villas wouldn't be so idle as to stare at the TV or watch some small advertisements!

Along the way, Qin Tianzhu also explained to Chu Xing what these details represented, what the facilities were for, and what shortcuts could get him to a certain location faster!

She played the role of a guide very well, giving Chu Xing, who was completely clueless about the villa area, a certain understanding. And so, after walking for more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the third area!

Looking at the mirror-like calm lake, Chu Xing suddenly picked up a pebble, threw it in, and said, "As expected of China, this is a famous villa area even in the world. This is only the third district, and the residences are already like this. It's really good. And the price is not inflated at all!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Qin Tianzhu smiled and led Chu Xing on a tour of the villa area. He was relieved to see the villas. He had been dealing with a lot of things lately, with unexpected events making his life uneasy. This peaceful walk and chat had really helped him relax.

At this moment, Qin Tianzhu suddenly looked up at the sky and pointed to a spot not far away: "Young man, do you see that? There's a small black dot in the sky that's about the same size as the morning sun?"

"Oh, that spot? That can't be the legendary fourth area, right? The floating city? That seems ridiculously high. I thought it was only a few hundred meters away!"

Chu Xing grinned, somewhat surprised. In his mind, it would be at most a few thousand meters away, but judging from the altitude, it might already be tens of thousands of meters in the air! No wonder Bai Yurou said that going up would be a very troublesome thing; she didn't even need anyone to say that! Even a normal helicopter would have a difficult time flying up there!

But it doesn't matter, Chu Xing said. It's only this height. I can just fly up there, right? It's not like I can't really get up there. It's just a magnetic field. I can just flip my hand and distort it, right?

After all, he has the power to destroy the Earth, so what can possibly do anything to him?

###113, Something's Wrong with the Floating Island###

Oh dear, thinking about it this way, Chu Xing felt incredibly powerful, incredibly strong, incredibly awesome, and for a moment he became extremely arrogant!

Qin Tianzhu nodded after hearing Chu Xing's words and said, "That's right. I initially thought it was only a few hundred meters high, but it turns out my imagination needs improvement. However, living up there is also a very difficult thing, especially recently, when the magnetic field changed for some reason, making it impossible to use helicopters to get to the area around the floating island. Unless someone is very daring, they can fly the helicopter to over 20,000 meters and then use a hang glider to fly down from the sky! But normally, who would want to go home for no reason and play such a dangerous game? Even professionals can accidentally lose their lives. For people like us who don't participate in such extreme sports, isn't the mortality rate extremely high? It seems unnecessary to die just to live in a house, doesn't it?"

"That's true!"

Chu Xing rested his chin on his hand as he spoke, a hint of secret joy in his heart. Many people couldn't afford to live there, or rather, didn't want to, which was certainly better for him! That way, no one would be competing with him for the house!

Qin Tianzhu Chu Xing's gaze grew increasingly bright as he looked at the floating city, and a slight smile crept onto his lips. He then looked back and said, "Oh, by the way, young man, which house do you live in? I believe you didn't come here just for no reason, did you? Miss Bai should have found you a place by now, right? I wonder which building it is? You could go take a look first. I have quite a bit of knowledge about this area, and maybe I can even offer you some advice?"

"My house?"

"Yes, young man, which house do you live in?"

"It's the one on your head!"

"Huh? Young man, you're not kidding, are you? This house isn't even meant for living in, is it?" Qin Tianzhu thought Chu Xing was joking and said with a smile.

Chu Xing shrugged, somewhat helplessly, and said, "It's true, although I know this floating island has many problems, there's nothing I can do. My lovely little sister insists on living in this house, and I can't do anything about it! Should I refuse her request? What if she cries? It would be terrible if she cried!"

"Uh…"

Qin Tianzhu's eyes widened. Hearing Chu Xing's words, he suddenly realized that this might not be a joke. He glanced at Chu Xing, then at the floating city in the sky, and was momentarily at a loss. He had just said that the house was bad! What could he say now? Even flattery was difficult to achieve. What should he do?

"Cough cough!"

Qin Tianzhu quickly coughed twice to break his embarrassment and continued laughing, "I didn't expect you to be such a doting brother! It's a real blessing to have you by my side! I haven't taken much care of my sister. I only stand up for her when other boys bully her. Otherwise, I haven't done anything for her!"

Chu Xing smiled calmly and said, "That's how normal people are! But I just cherish my sister more!"

"... "

Qin Tianzhu grinned, but didn't say anything. For some reason, he felt there was a hint of sisterly affection involved. Should he ask an orthopedic hospital to reserve two beds beforehand? Or should he arrange for someone to handle a minor case in the British court?

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Tianzhu smiled and said, "I really envy the good relationship between you siblings! But my sister is also very mischievous. She wasn't well-behaved when she was little, always running around everywhere. She was hard to take care of!"

"Haha, so you could say my sister is alright. She's usually a very quiet little girl. Yes, it's precisely because of her quiet nature that she's so adorable!" Chu Xing thought of Chu Xi'er's appearance, and his heart warmed. His sister was truly the best! A brother with a sister is the happiest!

Seeing Chu Xing's somewhat dazed expression, Qin Tianzhu quickly changed the subject: "That's really kind of me. But little brother, what preparations do you need? Going to the Floating City is very difficult! It's even impossible. You don't expect to go up there without any preparation, do you?"

"Hey, you're right! I really don't need any preparations to get up there!" Chu Xing waved his hand casually and said this.

His appearance made Qin Tianzhu a little uneasy. Under normal circumstances, Chu Xing's life or death had nothing to do with him, but now that he had contacted Chu Xing, if something happened and Bai Yurou investigated him, wouldn't he be finished? That woman's ruthlessness was well-known throughout the industry and even the entire upper class!

Qin Tianzhu quickly said, "Don't joke around! When the plane flies up there, everything will suddenly stop working and it will fall down! Have you heard of the Bermuda Triangle? The magnetic field at 10,000 meters altitude is a bit like the Bermuda Triangle; all electronic devices will be destroyed if they go there!"

"Why do I have to use electronic devices to go up there?" Chu Xing asked Qin Tianzhu.

"Clam?"

This question immediately startled Qin Tianzhu, because he felt it was a pointless question. How could one get there without using electronic devices? Did he mean to simply leap over and fly there? Or open a portal and use spatial teleportation to travel through time?

"hehe!"

Chu Xing simply smiled mysteriously, saying nothing, using that smile to respond to Qin Tianzhu, letting him guess whatever he wanted! Anyway, he couldn't guess that she really could fly there directly!

After strolling around the city's garden villa area for about three hours, Qin Tianzhu finally had to leave because he had some business to attend to at his venue and bid farewell to Chu Xing.

Sometimes he would even hold Chu Xing's hand and tell him where he lived, saying that Chu Xing could visit him anytime, and that he was willing to treat Chu Xing with the highest standards!

But these were just polite words. Chu Xing wouldn't go to other people's homes for no reason. After all, that big villa in the sky was about to become his home! With that villa, wouldn't all the other villas down below be just a pile of garbage?

Besides, for Qin Tianzhu, the villa in the city garden might be more like a place to keep a mistress. Maybe once you go in, you'll find all sorts of condoms and some really interesting toys! That would be too stimulating. What if it corrupts the children? Chu Xing is only 16 years old, not an adult yet. He can't watch that kind of inappropriate stuff!

The instant Qin Tianzhu left, Chu Xing vanished from in front of all the cameras in a flash, and the next moment he was standing ten thousand meters in the air!

"This is!"

Standing atop the floating island, Chu Xing's gaze and tone both revealed a hint of surprise!

Before him stood the most famous floating island villa in the city's gardens, but an invisible force swirled around it. This force seemed familiar to Chu Xing! It looked somewhat like magic, but closer to the magic of the Magic Mirror Buddhist Alliance, something like true qi?

Wow! How can such a strange thing exist in this world?

Chu Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, suddenly feeling that he didn't understand this world anymore. Fortunately, this power was extremely weak to him. If I were to categorize it according to the abilities of superpowered individuals, the strength of this power would be around LV2. Chu Xing could destroy this power without a trace in the blink of an eye.

But that's not the point. Chu Xing wanted to know who created this power. Did it appear out of thin air? Chu Xing found it strange. Without a major earthquake or a super natural disaster, where did this magnetic field change come from? Did they really think magnetic field changes could just come at will? At that rate, wouldn't the world be in chaos? What if a magnetic field pulse, like in a post-apocalyptic novel, caused all electronic devices in the world to die simultaneously?

###114. Taoist Priest###

"It seems there are some extraordinary beings in this world after all!"

Chu Xing stroked his chin thoughtfully. At this moment, he thought of Bai Yurou. Logically speaking, such a high and mighty woman should not have taken the initiative to come to him to learn kung fu. Or rather, the way she acted was not normal.

Thinking about it this way, Chu Xing seemed to realize that something was wrong, and he quickly began to browse through Bai Yurou's memories. This person's memories were like a book, and a very thick one at that. Chu Xing had only opened it and read the beginning before, and hadn't really read much of the content. But as he read it now, Chu Xing really did discover something extraordinary!

It turns out that Bai Yurou has a story in her memory. The gist of the story is that when she was little, her family took her to a Taoist temple to pray for peace. Normally, a family like Bai Yurou's wouldn't believe much in such mystical matters. But what if the combat power of this so-called Taoist was stronger than any elite soldier in the army? What if they could take on ten people at once with ease? Wouldn't that make a difference?

These people, known as "True Men," use internal energy like those in novels, a kind of true qi that normal people cannot understand. With this power, it is not surprising that they can lift a cauldron. However, these people only come out to roam the world with their swords during times of war. In this prosperous age, whether it is the major sects or some folk craftsmen, they all live in seclusion or never use their internal energy in public again, living as ordinary people!

However, how difficult it is to truly isolate oneself from the mortal world. No matter what, one will always have some connection with it. The Bai family is a super-powerful family that has connections with such people. Their relationship is mutually beneficial. The Bai family provides food and daily necessities to the reclusive sects, while the sects use divination to help the Bai family survive many times in times of crisis, making them a famous family in China and even the world, with their unshakable and transcendent status.

Bai Yurou held a significant position in the Bai family, so she naturally had access to this level of knowledge. However, she mostly encountered guides; she only met a true cultivator twice in her entire life, and this one time was enough to make her remember it for a lifetime!

With a casual flick of his hand, a boulder as tall as a person shattered, and he leaped out lightly, transforming into a willow leaf carried by the breeze, easily covering twenty or thirty meters! It was just like the work of a deity!

Those scenes of celestial grace were unforgettable for Bai Yurou, and instead strengthened her resolve to seek immortality! Unfortunately, the immortals behind her family had an agreement with them: their family might gain unparalleled power and influence in the mortal world, but they were forbidden from interfering in any mystical knowledge, the reason being karma… Bai Yurou admitted she didn't quite believe in this, but there was nothing she could do. The older generation believed that if Bai Yurou made any contact with the mystical sects behind her family, she would be severely punished!

Therefore, Bai Yurou had no choice but to abandon her advantageous position and begin seeking immortality from the outside world. However, are true immortals or those with great abilities really so easily found walking among mortals? They are completely elusive! Furthermore, they don't easily teach others. Most people with genuine skills come from the war-torn era of the last century. After the war, due to the great calamity that followed, they all signed a pact to remain secluded. Except for a few truly suitable individuals to enter the Xuanmen (Taoist sect), they basically never leave the mountains to recruit new members!

Therefore, truly capable people, even folk artisans, are practically nonexistent in this era. Nine times out of ten, those you find are scammers. Take, for example, that guy who claims to open your third eye for 3000 yuan… Let alone this world, even in the world of A Certain Magical Index, very few people can open their third eye! And opening your third eye can easily lead to your death; it's not that simple!
