I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms-Chapter 467: Extra 6: "Chen Universe" (6)

"All right."

Jiaye saw Lord Miao’s awkwardness as he sat aside and said in a serious, soft voice, "My dear in-law, now that we’ve cleared the air, to be honest, my son did feel slighted in your world, and as a mother, I really can’t bear to see my son upset."

"But I can understand your actions."

"After all, at the time you thought your own daughter was dead, naturally, you wouldn’t want some stranger becoming your son-in-law and thus gaining an association with you. That’s just human nature, not something incomprehensible."

"I actually quite like Lord Miao."

"The two of them are also genuinely in love."

"What happened in the past is in the past; I won’t say much more. Let’s get along well from now on, shall we?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

The middle-aged woman nodded eagerly, again and again. This was the best outcome, while Lord Miao, sitting beside her, finally showed a smile again. He took his mother’s arm and sat next to her, sticking out his tongue and quietly complaining.

"Mother, you really weren’t fair in this matter."

"This..."

The woman expressed her powerless apology, "On one hand, we indeed worried that Chen Miao would climb his way up to us, but a bigger reason was that Chen Miao had made too many enemies back then. If we hadn’t dissociated ourselves, we might not even be alive today."

"That’s certainly true."

Chen Yi, standing aside, couldn’t help but grin and laugh, "Wherever we Chen Family Members go, we never lack enemies. Without enemies, where would the opportunities come from?"

"Opportunities are snatched from the corpses of our foes."

"That’s my boy!"

"Well done."

...

After a few more hours of such exchanges, the banquet officially ended. Chen Miao and Lord Miao made their way to the rooftop alone.

Chen Miao leaned on the rooftop’s railing, looking down at the city lights below, feeling the breeze brush against his face, and mumbled in a trance, "Everything that happened in the last world seems so ethereal."

"It feels so unreal."

"What’s unreal about it?"

Lord Miao rested her head on Chen Miao’s and asked softly.

"It feels like something out of a dream."

"A dream?"

"Yes, as if I’m still in some deep dream right now, just not awakened. Maybe my friends are all waiting for me outside, and I’m just stuck in a coma."

"If I were to jump from here, maybe I could wake up."

"..."

Lord Miao, feeling exasperated, got on her tip-toes and draped over Chen Miao’s shoulder, "First of all, I need to make two things clear to you. With your strength as it is now, Miao, you wouldn’t die from jumping here, and even if it were a few hundred meters higher."

"Secondly, what you’re experiencing is a deep dream realm aftereffect."

"It’s normal for anyone who has entered a deep secret realm to have these kinds of aftereffects, where dreams and reality blur. Sometimes, it always feels like the reality you’re in is just another dream and that someone is waiting for you outside."

"Aftereffects?"

Chen Miao shook his head, "Elder Bai and Hungry Monkey have entered secret realms far more times than I have, and they don’t seem to show any signs of such aftereffects."

"It’s different."

Lord Miao shook her head as well, "Elder Bai’s mental strength is so immense that there aren’t even words to describe it. His inner power is so strong that he can easily discern whether he is in a dream or not."

"As for Hungry Monkey... he simply doesn’t care about it."

"He doesn’t bother himself with whether he’s dreaming or not."

"As long as he has you, Miao, and brothers around, that’s enough. Does it matter whether it’s a dream or reality?"

"It doesn’t,"

"..."

Chen Miao stayed silent, not speaking for a long while before finally shaking his head and smiling, "Speaking of which, where are Hungry Monkey and the others? They disappeared as soon as the banquet ended. I don’t even know what they’re up to."

Seeing that Chen Miao wasn’t dwelling on it anymore, Lord Miao once again rested her head on his shoulder and murmured, "They probably went out to have fun with Scarred Dog and the others. It seems like the people from the Chen Family are really nice; each person has their best brother by their side, the kind that would go through thick and thin together."

"Yeah, that’s really true."

...

Meanwhile, Elder Bai was walking alone among the bright lights of the city, inspecting around as if he was searching for something.

"No, no, this won’t do, there are too many living people here."

"That place won’t do either, it’s too small."

"What should we do then?"

Elder Bai frowned with a headache while sitting on a chair nearby. He was preparing to build himself a new cemetery, for in the cemetery not only would his strength increase, but most importantly, he would feel safer.

He had gotten used to sleeping with the dead.

Every night, inhaling the decayed scent of death and randomly selecting someone else’s memory from his mind to experience from the first-person perspective all over again, had become his greatest form of entertainment.

It was as if he were reliving another life.

Yet upon arriving in this world, he couldn’t find a suitable place for his cemetery right away.

Just then—

A young man in a suit appeared before him, bowing respectfully and saying, "Elder Bai, hello. This is something Yi specially instructed me to deliver to you, to help you build your own cemetery."

"Ah?"

Elder Bai was momentarily stunned, then quickly stood up to receive the small bead held out in front of him, saying somewhat anxiously, "Yi actually knows about this sort of thing? He thought of me?"

He was truly shocked.

He was merely someone under Chen Miao who looked after the cemetery, and he hadn’t expected Chen Yi to remember to help him with such a trivial matter as finding a location for his cemetery.

"Of course."

The young man smiled and said, "Yi’s son has just returned. He naturally values you, the close confidants of Miao, very much."

"I hope for your continued support in the future."

"I am the captain of the third battalion of Yi’s personal guards."

"Um...

Elder Bai tentatively asked, "Does Yi’s strength really require personal guards?"

"Not necessary. You can think of us as errand runners. It sounds better to call us personal guards, otherwise, we couldn’t always call ourselves lackeys, right? I don’t mind, but it might sound utterly unpleasant to Yi."

"Indeed. I wanted to ask, how are the seniorities arranged? Are both Yi and Miao addressed as ’Brother’?"

"Ah..."

The young man sighed deeply, "This is indeed a somewhat troublesome issue. Before Miao’s return, we always addressed Yi as such, calling Yi’s eldest son, Chen Yue, ’Mr. Chen Yue’."

"And Yi also had us call the second son ’Miao’, yet didn’t allow us to call Chen Yue ’Yue’, so indeed, the hierarchy is quite complex."

"I don’t know how it’s supposed to be arranged. You’ll just have to figure it out yourself..."

"Alright..."

After hesitating for a while, Elder Bai still asked tentatively, "Could you please convey my gratitude to Yi? I’m really grateful that he remembered these little things about me. Miao did not recall, but Yi may not be fully aware that my cemetery is quite large..."

"This small bead might not be sufficient."

"It will definitely be sufficient."

The young man laughed softly, explaining, "This small bead that you hold, Yi personally took action to fill an entire galaxy containing three thousand six hundred and eighty planets for you, creating a massive and boundless flatland for you to construct your cemetery on."

"Not to mention anything else, there’s definitely enough space."

"Three... Three thousand six hundred eighty planets?"

Elder Bai’s lips trembled as he held the small bead, his voice barely above a whisper, filled with disbelief, "That’s enough, certainly more than enough space for a cemetery. Yi has set an incredibly distant goal for me."

"Such a huge cemetery, it will take countless tombs to fill."

"I hope I can collect that many undead in my lifetime."

"No need."

The young man chuckled and said, "On these 3680 planets, many planets had life forms that are now wiped out by Yi, leaving quite a few undead behind. You don’t have to bother collecting them; the site is already prepared."

"All the species on the 3680 planets were wiped out?"

"Yes. You know, even though Yi is now the king of the entire universe, as time passes, in some corners of the universe, there are still some who foolishly resist Yi’s power. Naturally, this is the result."

"Yi heard from Miao that you like fresh things. Those corpses and blood are all left there for you. You just need to project your thoughts into the sphere to be transported to that vast land, and to return, you need to project your thoughts into the sphere once again."

"Very simple."

"..."

After standing in disbelief for a long time, Elder Bai looked solemnly at the young man, saying word by word, "Please make sure to convey to Yi that I am truly grateful."

"I love this gift very much."

"And I really appreciate your explanation."

"If you need it, when you die, I can also look after your tomb."
