600: I just knew it

Tang Ku, in his own residence, used Zun Zun's ability to locate a total of twelve eavesdropping devices...

However, these guys at least hadn't put in cameras or other peeping devices, which counted as giving him some privacy.

Of course, even if he let them listen in, it wouldn't matter, since Tang Ku didn't plan on sleeping tonight; instead, he sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating on the Dao until dawn.

Early the next morning, someone suddenly rang the doorbell. Tang Ku swept with his Divine Thought, couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and immediately said in his mind: "Zun Zun, open the door!"

Swoosh!

The electric door slid open to the sides, and a pretty figure wearing a fitted outfit walked in. Seeing Tang Ku sitting cross-legged in meditation, she couldn't help but laugh: "Do monks not need to sleep?"

Tang Ku tilted his head and suddenly laughed: "You didn't follow me, did you? Otherwise, how would you know I'm staying here?"

"On this planet, I can say without modesty that I have eyes and ears everywhere!"

Tang Xuan chuckled, "Your whereabouts? I could find that out with a casual inquiry! Actually, if you need to buy anything, you can just come to me. I can prepare all your supplies at once and have them delivered to your spaceship!"

"You even know I arrived by spaceship?" Tang Ku laughed.

"Not only do I know that, but I also know your spaceship carries a truly remarkable artificial intelligence! What's wrong, won't it come out to meet me?"

Tang Xuan looked at a pendant on Tang Ku's chest and couldn't help but chuckle.

Swoosh!

Zun Zun's holographic image appeared before them, still in the guise of a little girl. Tang Xuan's eyes lit up when she saw it: "What a cute little baby... Hmm, but looking at your eyes, you probably aren't a baby anymore! Still, you're so cute, just like a doll!"

Zun Zun looked at Tang Xuan, rolled her eyes, and said: "Your artificial intelligence is already outdated. If you're willing, I can design a little brother to give you!"

"Haha, that won't be necessary. The artificial intelligence I'm using now is just a semi-finished product. The one I actually use has been throwing a tantrum lately. When she comes back, I'll have her chat with you; you'll definitely have a lot in common!" Tang Xuan laughed.

"You came to find me early in the morning, is something the matter?" Tang Ku asked.

"Since you're staying here for two days, let me play the host and show you around to experience the local customs of this planet... Hmm, they're quite different from what we're familiar with!" Tang Xuan smiled.

"Alright, I have nothing else to do anyway!" Tang Ku stretched, then his figure flashed, and he appeared beside Tang Xuan, laughing: "Let's go, let's head out and take a look, and maybe grab some breakfast while we're at it!"

"Are you a ghost? Why are you so elusive?" Tang Xuan rolled her eyes. "Don't expose your cultivation on the streets; it's easy to scare people!"

Tang Ku waved his hand: "Don't worry, I know how to handle things with discretion!"

The two chatted like long-lost friends, not at all like people who had only met yesterday. Tang Ku didn't shy away from anything and followed closely behind Tang Xuan onto the street. However, the two had similar tastes, both piloting those flashy, motorcycle-like flying vehicles, continuing to fly upward.

"On this planet, the real wealthy district is above the clouds. Even the imperial palace is on the top layer, just like the Immortal Realm on Earth, holding absolute authority over the common people below... Hmm, actually, my residence is just a bit lower than the imperial palace... Hmm, look, that's it!" As they flew above the clouds, Tang Xuan pointed in a direction.

Tang Ku took a look and sure enough, saw a massive city suspended above the clouds, with many independent, castle-like buildings standing nearby, connected by long, transparent corridors.

"Is this an anti-gravity System?" Tang Ku asked.

"Yes, every building has an independent anti-gravity System, but as long as you are approved to live at this level, your building must be connected to that huge central city, after all, the daily necessities you need must be bought there... Hmm, I'll take you to see what the upper-class people on this planet eat and play..." As she spoke, Tang Xuan brought Tang Ku all the way to the massive "Sky City."

Sure enough, the streets and buildings here were much more magnificent than those below; it was practically the difference between a slum and a celestial palace.

"That over there is a casino... It's the favorite place for the entire noble circle to hang out. It's equivalent to the large casinos in Las Vegas or Macau on Earth, with everything you could want for entertainment. Of course, if you're interested in that sort of thing, there will be people to pimp for you!" Tang Xuan chuckled teasingly.

"Your tone reminds me of some not-so-good memories..." Tang Ku suddenly thought of the System's frequent teasing and couldn't help but pout.

"Hmm, up ahead is my trading firm, let's go there for breakfast. I've already had people prepare it..." Tang Xuan smiled, "It's been so long, and I still can't get used to the so-called delicacies on this planet, so I had people make steamed buns, sesame flatbreads, fried dough sticks, and the like. There's soy milk, tofu pudding, and even sweet and savory zongzi and spicy soup. Whatever you want to eat, we have it... Hmm, of course, my employees eat this kind of work meal too..."

Up ahead was another retro-style compound that looked like a miniature Forbidden City... But when you walked in and took a look, all sorts of high-tech equipment were running.

When those Kenda star employees saw Tang Xuan enter, they couldn't help but look surprised, greeting her one after another and calling her "General Manager Tang." Tang Xuan always responded very enthusiastically.

"You're quite popular on this planet; they seem to respect you a lot?" Watching these guys carrying breakfast and trotting toward their offices, all wearing those crisp suits from Earth, Tang Ku couldn't help but feel moved: "Cattle and horses are the same everywhere! However, you must treat them very well; otherwise, so many people wouldn't be willing to greet you so sincerely!"

Tang Xuan rolled her eyes at Tang Ku: "Do you think I'm one of those black-hearted capitalists? Hmph, I treat my employees very well, naturally. Three free meals a day. Otherwise, how do you think I grew and strengthened my business?"

"This palace of mine is a media company. Besides taking advertisements, I also have to advertise my own winery... Hmm, I have to say, although the Kenda star people's thinking is simple, sometimes it can achieve miraculous results... Oh, we're here, just ahead. Let me tell you, I hired a human chef, and his skill at making steamed buns is really... Hmm?"

Before she could finish speaking, Tang Xuan couldn't help but frown slightly and stand still, because she saw someone who made her very unhappy standing there, looking at her with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

"Why is he here?" Tang Xuan muttered to herself.

Tang Ku took a look at the person who had arrived and suddenly sighed: "I knew it..."
