Upon exiting the amusement park, each of the four women carried three dolls in their arms, while Lu Zheng was holding a giant cat half as tall as a person, attracting countless gazes.

"Can't you put it in the bracelet?" Liu Qingyan asked.

"Can't you use a blinding technique?" Shen Ying asked Lu Zheng, "Or maybe go to the... um... restroom to stash it?"

They had already agreed beforehand that they couldn't use any spells in public, at least they couldn't show any differences from mortals. As such, Lu Zheng specifically explained the omnipresence of surveillance cameras to the women.

Although the women didn't really care, they didn't want to cause any trouble for Lu Zheng, so they consciously hid their abilities. But they couldn't just keep running to the parking lot to store things either.

"Then let's just go to the restroom," Lin Wan suggested, "It's not a big deal."

So when they reached the cinema on the fifth floor, they appeared empty-handed and light as a feather.

"Which movie should we watch?" Lin Wan asked.

"Watch... huh? Who is that?" Liu Qingyan held onto Lu Zheng, pointing to a person not far away who was all in black.

Lu Zheng, "..."

"That's a person from another country," Lu Zheng explained, "When we were buying clothes on the second floor, didn't we see people with white skin and blonde hair in those promotional pictures? Blue Star consists of many countries and many ethnicities. I'll give you a detailed explanation when we get home tonight."

"Yeah, okay!" Liu Qingyan nodded repeatedly but couldn't help but marvel, "He's so dark, even darker than when that big black bear from the east of Wanfu County transforms into human form."

Not just Liu Qingyan, even Shen Ying and Si Lingxi were quite curious, but they didn't rush to inquire more. After all, today's outing was mainly about seeing and hearing more; delving deeper isn't urgent.

However, looking at those folks and some with yellow hair and green eyes on the movie posters, one can sense that this small Blue Star has so much to offer despite its size.

...

They watched a movie, strolled around the men's clothing area adding two outfits for Lu Zheng, bought three of the latest model smartphones on the first floor at Jue Factory, and finally picked up three Xinhua dictionaries and simplified versions of world history and Hua Country's history from the bookstore. They managed to return home around eight in the evening.

"Why don't you all stay the night here?" Lin Wan invited, "There are plenty of beds."

"Sure!" Shen Ying agreed instantly, "It'll be a chance to enjoy these appliances."

Lu Zheng shook his head helplessly, "I doubt you'll use most of them."

"Who says? I'll try them!"

So, Lin Wan first led the three women to a rather useless hot shower, then they changed into pajamas. Finally, she leisurely began giving them a tour of the large flat.

"This is the gas water heater, which uses natural gas to heat water. That's how we got the hot water.

"This is the gas stove, it uses gas to light fire and cook food."

"This is the microwave, it heats food using microwaves when plugged in."

"This is the refrigerator, refrigerated at zero degrees and frozen, used to keep food fresh. Look, there's still seafood that Lu Zheng brought over from there.

"This is the TV, and this is the air conditioner, you already know those."

"This is the washing machine, used for automatic laundry."

"This is a treadmill, the belt moves, used for running in place to exercise, I used it often before."

These were merely the larger visible items. The smaller items were even more in number; Lin Wan only briefly introduced them. Compared to the previous rental, there were two or three times more facilities—after all, Lu Zheng only considered that place a temporary station.

...

At night, just when Lu Zheng was having a fun workout session with Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying, Si Lingxi excitedly barged in, "Does Hua Country also have legends of the Phoenix? So, Blue Star and our world are all under the Upper Realm's watch?"

Lu Zheng was frozen in place, holding Shen Ying by the waist.

Liu Qingyan swiftly darted under the blankets with a "swish".

"Uh... can we talk about this tomorrow?" Lu Zheng asked, speechless.

Si Lingxi pouted, her face turning a faint shade of red, then turned to leave. Just as she was closing the door, they heard Shen Ying's voice rising again.

Si Lingxi was speechless, she had just damaged Lu Zheng's sound insulation array in her excitement.

...

The next morning, having learned simplified characters overnight and finished reading the world history book, Si Lingxi sat seriously across from Lu Zheng.

"This planet is quite amazing," Si Lingxi said.

"In what way?" Lu Zheng asked.

"Because many Upper Realm Immortals or deities have left legends here," Si Lingxi replied.

Meanwhile, Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying, who had just recovered their spirits, lazily turned the Xinhua dictionary's pages, learning simplified characters while browsing world history and simultaneously figuring out how to use their phones.

"Indeed." Lu Zheng nodded, "For instance, The Three Pristine Ones, the Eastern King and the Queen Mother of the West, Dragons, Phoenixes, Qilin."

"No." Si Lingxi shook her head, "I mean Ra, Zeus, Odin, Brahma Heaven."

Lu Zheng was dumbfounded, "They count too?"

Si Lingxi wondered, "Why wouldn't they?"

"You know about them?" Lu Zheng asked in shock.

"I don't!" Si Lingxi naturally shook her head, "The Southern Border doesn't have their legacy."

Lu Zheng was speechless, "Then how do you know they truly existed and weren't just imagined?"

Si Lingxi stared at Lu Zheng quietly.

"Fine, fine." Lu Zheng surrendered, "And then? They've lost their believers, and now they're almost entertainment symbols."

"That's what puzzles me." Si Lingxi said curiously, "Clearly, it's a mortal world without spiritual qi and unable to cultivate, yet why have so many Upper Realm Immortals descended through dream-entering techniques or divine thoughts, left legends, and then completely departed?"

Lu Zheng shrugged, "If you're asking me, who am I supposed to ask?"

"Wow! It's totally nude!" Shen Ying exclaimed, pointing to a Western mural, "What bold artwork; I wonder if the Madonna would strike the artist dead with a bolt of lightning?"

Lu Zheng, "..."

Si Lingxi, "..."

Seeing Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan so carefree, Si Lingxi wondered if she had overthought things and was living too tensely.

Strange or not, thousands of years have passed, and regardless of what occurred back then, the current situation with no spiritual legacy and only mortals remaining presents no issues. The Upper Realm Immortals have likely already relinquished this place, so what's there to ponder!

Recognizing that Lu Zheng regards this as a safe haven and mental refuge, and considering this world has advanced technology and entertainment, they might as well consider it their own place for relaxation and fun!

With that thought, Si Lingxi decided not to dwell on it further. Pulling out her phone, she said, "If that's the case, so be it. Oh, and yesterday I saw a movie that required a top-up, could you help me with that? Also, get me a bank card when you have time."

Lu Zheng was speechless; had Si Lingxi integrated into Blue Star so swiftly?
