"It seems, Brother Long Yu, that you are also a man with a story," he said.
Long Yu waved his hand and chuckled, "It's nothing much of a story. Everyone has their own experiences."
"Then where are your family now? Do they live in your sub-world?" Zhou Hong asked.
A flicker of longing crossed Long Yu's eyes.
"No, they are all still in the mortal realm. I have a son who is also in the mortal realm, his name is Han Han." Long Yu's eyes were filled with fatherly love and a hint of moisture, as if he missed his son dearly.
"Brother Long Yu, one day, you will be able to bring them up," Zhou Hong patted Long Yu's shoulder. He hadn't expected him to be a father already. From this, it could be seen that Long Yu's sub-world was acquired only after arriving in the immortal realm. This fellow's immortal destiny was too strong, to have obtained so many good things after reaching the immortal realm.
"Thank you. I presume your loved ones have also ascended with you?"
"Yes, they are all in my sub-world. To be honest, I even brought half of the people from Earth up. Now, my sub-world is equivalent to having a whole Earth, because I've arranged the landscape to be very similar to Earth."
"Really?"
"If you're interested, would you like to visit my home in the sub-world?" Zhou Hong invited. They were of the same realm, so it was fine for Zhou Hong to invite him in. If the other person was of a higher realm, Zhou Hong wouldn't take the risk, although he trusted Long Yu's character.
"Alright, I haven't seen Earth in a long time. Seeing the streets of Earth would be a form of nostalgia."
"Let's go."
The next second, Zhou Hong and Long Yu vanished simultaneously, appearing above Zhou Hong's sub-world.
"See, that area ahead is what I've arranged according to Earth's layout. I am the master of this sub-world, and I can make the world whatever I want it to be."
"Mmm, that continent shaped like a chicken, that's the land of China," Long Yu said with tears in his eyes, a deep sense of nostalgia for his homeland. It was a pity, though, that this was not his homeland, even though the terrain was identical.
"I didn't expect Brother Long Yu to be such a homebody. Come, let's go to my place."
The next second, they arrived at Zhou Hong's villa on Earth.
"Zhou Hong, how did you get in? Didn't you say you couldn't come in? What if someone finds out about the sub-world...!" As soon as they reached the doorstep, they saw Qiao Xiaoyu.
Since ascending to the demon realm, Zhou Hong's main body had never entered. This was the first time, which was why Qiao Xiaoyu was so shocked.
"Who is he?" Qiao Xiaoyu saw the young man behind Zhou Hong and looked confused.
"Xiaoyu, this is my friend, his name is Long Yu. I brought him to visit my sub-world. By the way, he also has a sub-world," Zhou Hong introduced.
"Hello."
"Hello." Long Yu nodded to Qiao Xiaoyu as a sign of respect, then averted his gaze. After all, she was Zhou Hong's woman, and as a friend, he shouldn't stare.
"Brother Long Yu, let's go inside."
"Alright."
After a tour, Long Yu said to Zhou Hong, "Zhou Hong, I'll head out first. Although it's the Immortal-Demon Mountain Range and sparsely populated, you still need to be careful."
"You're right. Then let's go out together."
"No, you don't need to rush out. I'll go out first and guard for you." Long Yu smiled faintly.
"Why?"
"Zhou Hong, I can see that you haven't entered since you ascended to the demon realm. It's rare for you to come in this time, so spend some quality time with your family. I'll watch over things outside. With me guarding, there won't be any problems. You can stay for ten days to half a month."
"This...!" Zhou Hong was speechless. However, this Long Yu was quite thoughtful; Zhou Hong hadn't thought of asking him to guard outside.
"We're both men, we understand," Long Yu chuckled.
"Haha, if that's the case, then I won't be polite. The outside is in your hands."
"Don't worry." Long Yu said, then disappeared from Zhou Hong's sub-world and returned to the woods outside. With him guarding here, Zhou Hong could confidently enter his sub-world. He would help Zhou Hong conceal all information and alert him to any enemies. To achieve this, it might not be possible for others, but he could. After all, he was also an extraordinary individual.
In the sub-world, Zhou Hong chuckled and said to Qiao Xiaoyu, "Wife Xiaoyu, you've been living alone for so long, have you missed me terribly?"
"Get lost!" Qiao Xiaoyu's face turned red. However, with Zhou Hong saying that, she truly felt a tingling sensation all over her body.
"Hahaha, since I finally managed to get in this time, I'll make it up to you properly."
Qiao Xiaoyu said worriedly, "Is that person named Long Yu reliable?"
"You can rest a hundred percent assured. We hit it off immediately, and we're practically fellow countrymen."
"That's good. Then how long do you plan to stay at home?"
"Ten days to half a month is fine. The Immortal-Demon Mountain Range is remote, and if anything happens, he'll notify me."
"Oh, oh!" Qiao Xiaoyu lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"Let's go!" Zhou Hong walked up, scooped Qiao Xiaoyu into his arms, and like a gust of wind, rushed upstairs.
The events that followed are not for further narration.
Zhou Hong did not stand on ceremony and stayed at his home in the sub-world with his wives for a full ten days.
Ten days later, Zhou Hong left the sub-world and returned to the outside world.
Zhou Hong saw Long Yu sitting under a tree outside at a glance.
"Zhou Hong, why didn't you stay home for a few more days?" Long Yu quickly stood up when he saw Zhou Hong emerge. Su Dan Novel Network
"Long Yu, thank you for letting me reunite with my family for ten days. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know when I would have had the chance to enter my sub-world so confidently and boldly."
"You're too kind, it was just a small favor."
"What are your plans next?" Zhou Hong asked.
"Next, I'll stay in the Immortal-Demon Mountain Range for a while longer. Once the situation stabilizes, I'll return to the immortal realm. What about you? Do you want to visit the immortal realm?"
"Haha, maybe next time. I'm a demon cultivator. If I go to the immortal realm, my cultivation might not be able to break through."
Long Yu nodded, "You're right. Your soul is in the demon realm, and only the demon realm can allow for breakthroughs. However, if there's a chance in the future, I still hope you'll come to the immortal realm for a visit. My treat, I'll arrange for the most beautiful fairies to give you a massage."
Zhou Hong chuckled, "Then I'll look forward to it!"
"I'm looking forward to it too."
"Then, we shall bid farewell. I should be going back too." Zhou Hong clasped his hands in farewell.
"Alright, farewell. Be careful on your way back."
"You too. Don't end up dead at the hands of your enemies," Zhou Hong added with a playful caution.
"Don't worry, I, Long Yu, have clawed my way up from nothing. I'm not some pushover."
"Farewell!" Zhou Hong no longer lingered and vanished instantly, heading towards the exit of the Immortal-Demon Mountain Range on the demon realm side.
