453: Chapter 453 Long Time No See!

"Wang Liu! Did you go find that slut Gao Jie last night? There's not a single drop of 'grain' left!"

"How could I have? I told you I've been too tired these past few days. Can't you let me rest?"

"Rest? You said the same thing yesterday! When have I ever not let you rest? Huh? You clearly just like that slut's body! It's because I'm old! Because my figure's gone out of shape, right?"

"...So you know you're old?"

"What?!"

..."Brother Qiang, is it really okay for us to do this?"

"What's wrong with it? The government is encouraging more births now; this is legal."

"Alright, I'm just afraid Big Sister will be unhappy if she finds out."

"Why do you care about her? She's pregnant right now and can collect a hundred pounds of meat and grain next month; she's happy as can be. If you can get pregnant too, our family of three will live very comfortably."

"Mm... then... you have to work hard."

"You too."

...As Fang Bai passed by one crude house after another, he could clearly hear various conversations.

In this place, everyone seemed to have grown accustomed to this mode of life. Forced away from Blue Star, a regression of civilization had occurred.

Now, for humanity, the most important thing was procreation.

Fang Bai's expression was a bit odd. He wondered if his little companions had also ended up doing this.

Soon, he arrived at a large house built from beast bones.

At the entrance was a massive sculpture of a snake's head. The open mouth of the snake served as the doorway, which looked quite impressive.

As soon as he arrived, a youth in a tank top walked out from inside.

"Xiao Yuan, hurry it up! We're going to a meeting!" the youth in the tank top shouted behind him.

"Coming!"

An honest-sounding voice responded.

The youth in the tank top turned his head to look, and his body suddenly froze.

He stared blankly at the figure before him, looking dazed.

Fang Bai grinned. "What's wrong? Don't recognize me?"

Brother Qi froze for a long time, then suddenly slapped himself hard. The next second, a wail rang out: "Holy shit! That hurts like hell!"

Ignoring the pain, he immediately looked at Fang Bai and said in shock, "Holy shit! You're not dead?"

Fang Bai raised an eyebrow. "Am I that easy to kill?"

Brother Qi laughed loudly and rushed over to hug him. "Damn! I thought I wouldn't have anyone to cover for me anymore! You kid, suddenly disappearing and then suddenly appearing—don't pull that next time, okay?"

Fang Bai said with a smile, "You still need me to cover for you? You're already at the Eighth Order Late Stage."

Brother Qi said dejectedly, "Eighth Order... I can't even see your shadow anymore."

Fang Bai laughed. "Not all people are created equal."

Brother Qi: "..."

Just then, another sturdy figure appeared at the snake-bone entrance. It was Xiao Yuan.

When he saw Fang Bai, his eyes turned red, and he also gave him a bear hug.

"Brother Bai, you're still alive. That's great!"

Fang Bai looked at the two of them and nodded with relief. "It looks like you two have been doing quite well."

These two were a bit fatter than before; clearly, they hadn't been living through hard times.

Brother Qi and Xiao Yuan glanced at each other, both revealing a smile.

"Actually, this is all thanks to you. We haven't fully refined the Demon God Corpse you gave us, and while absorbing it, we're in a state of cultivation where we don't feel hunger," Brother Qi said with a smile.

Xiao Yuan pumped his fist. "Me too."

Hearing this, Fang Bai finally nodded.

Brother Qi suddenly asked, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet. How did you suddenly show up here?"

Fang Bai said, "Let's go see A Xiu and the others first. I'll explain everything then."

Brother Qi nodded. "Fair enough."

"By the way, I heard you guys are doing some 'Many Children, Many Blessings' activity. Did you two participate?" Fang Bai suddenly asked.

At those words, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Brother Qi's face. He laughed and said, "Well, there is that, cough cough. Your Brother Qi here is now a father of two."

Fang Bai's eyes widened. "What the hell?"

Holy shit! We're the same age! You're already a father?!

Brother Qi gave a smirk. "I had no choice in the matter. My old man arranged it. That son of a bitch drugged me and forced me to comply. I was just a victim of my own biology!"

Fang Bai: "..."

Xiao Yuan suddenly spoke up. "I think Brother Qi actually enjoyed it."

Brother Qi glared at Xiao Yuan. "Shut up!"

Xiao Yuan scratched his head sheepishly.

Fang Bai looked at Xiao Yuan thoughtfully. "What about you, Xiao Yuan?"

Xiao Yuan's face turned red, looking like a monkey's butt. "I... well..."

Brother Qi teased, "Don't let Xiao Yuan's honest look fool you; he's actually a hot commodity in the eyes of the young wives! Especially those blonde ladies from the Alliance Nation—they come looking for Xiao Yuan for dual cultivation every day..."

Fang Bai: "..."

It had to be said, just imagining that scene was a bit painful for the eyes.

"Where are A Xiu and Su Su?"

Brother Qi said, "They were both in seclusion and just came out recently. You can go see them—no, wait, let's go together."

Xiao Yuan hesitated. "Brother Qi, we still have a meeting..."

Brother Qi waved his hand dismissively. "To hell with the meeting! My Buddy finally came back; of course accompanying my Buddy is more important!"

Fang Bai smiled and said, "Then let's go."

The three of them walked together and soon arrived at a wooden house.

This wooden house was quite distinctive; it looked like an actual building.

Brother Qi said with a sigh of emotion, "I helped them build this house."

Brother Qi had the wood attribute and could summon plants. For extreme survival, this was indeed a natural advantage.

Fang Bai nodded.

Brother Qi then walked over and shouted, "A Xiu! Class Monitor Su! Come out quickly to welcome your man!"

As soon as this arrogant voice rang out, the surrounding residents all cast looks at them as if they were looking at idiots.

Fang Bai and Xiao Yuan didn't hesitate; they immediately took several steps back to both sides, drawing a clear line between themselves and Brother Qi, as if to say they didn't know him.

Brother Qi's mouth twitched. "Not cool, buddies. What are you two doing?"

Just as Fang Bai was about to speak, a powerful force erupted from the window of the wooden house, blasting straight toward Brother Qi!

The latter's expression changed slightly. "Hey! I'm one of you!"

He hurriedly dodged as he spoke.

Fang Bai, on the other hand, was somewhat surprised because he had sensed the other party's realm the moment they attacked.

Eighth Stage Peak!

Only one step away from the Extreme Realm.

That aura belonged to Su Su.

"Old Pervert Qi, if you howl at my door again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Su Su's figure appeared at the window, looking down with an unfriendly gaze.

Her gaze first landed on Brother Qi, then skipped over Xiao Yuan, and she suddenly realized there was a third person. She instinctively looked over.

When she saw the youth with the playful smile, Su Su's face froze.

Fang Bai waved his hand. "Long time no see."
