Chapter 870 - 517: Return to Daylight, Out of the Blue!

Then he started shouting, "Keke! Keke!"

Where did the little guy Keke suddenly disappear to?

Earlier... it was always sleeping in my arms, and I couldn’t wake it up.

But after I entered that image, Keke was no longer by my side.

It shouldn’t have run far, right...

The few women upstairs also rushed down, helping Xu Xin search for the little guy.

In the end, they searched all three floors but couldn’t find any trace of Keke.

"That little guy... could it be outside now?" Lou Fei’Er glanced at the closed windows, worried.

Among the people present, besides Xu Xin, she had spent the most time with Keke.

She didn’t want anything to happen to this mysterious little creature.

Xu Xin frowned deeply.

He knew how to open the closed state, but given the current state...

At this moment, the vibrations in the palace had stabilized, and the roaring sounds overhead and around them continued rhythmically.

The Crystal City is currently rising. Even if the closed state is opened, it would be impossible to search outside.

...Where exactly has that little guy run off to!

He really didn’t want anything to happen to this little guy he had spent the most time with in this world!

Also, if he already understood the origin of those giant beasts, he was still very puzzled about the situation with this little creature.

"Ying!"

Just then, a soft whining sound came from the third floor.

"Ah! Keke is upstairs!" Zeng Tao, who was closest to the stairs on the second floor, immediately ran up.

However, before she could go up, Keke had already run down.

It ran swiftly to Xu Xin’s side, deftly climbed up his body, and perched on his shoulder: "Ying!"

"...You little rascal, where did you run off to just now!" Xu Xin grabbed it by the scruff of its neck and lifted it in front of his face.

"Ying?" The little guy tilted its head, blinked its eyes, and had an innocent look, its big tail swaying slightly behind it.

Its state was much better than the previous sleepy condition—it looked brimming with energy.

"Oh well, as long as Keke’s okay!" Zeng Tao came over, snatched Keke from Xu Xin’s hand, and rubbed its little belly. "But where on earth did you just hide? I didn’t see you on the third floor just now."

"Ying...?" Keke adopted an ’I don’t know, don’t ask me’ look, thoroughly enjoying Zeng Tao’s touch.

Jin Yue, seeing Keke like this, displayed a rare smile.

Xu Xin just shook his head.

This little one, always pretending to be oblivious.

Oh well, as long as it’s okay.

This little guy never says anything; he’s gotten used to it.

This little guy definitely isn’t the giant beast from the image Xu Xin had left him; no giant beast is this teeny-tiny.

Its origin remains a mystery, but for now, it doesn’t matter.

He’s now absorbed a massive amount of information and needs to sort through it quickly.

Once they’re out, there’s much to be done.

"Xu Xin, can we really go out directly?" At this moment, Shi Wanyun came over and quietly asked, "How do you know that this palace can ascend to the surface?"

She was also very puzzled.

The situation was far beyond her expectations.

The information she got from over there couldn’t explain the current situation at all.

She had no idea what would happen next.

"Ah." Xu Xin raised an eyebrow slightly, smiled, and said, "It’s a bit complicated. Once we reach the surface, I’ll explain. If you can’t go back, you can stay with us for the time being, you’re most welcome."

Xu Xin couldn’t let this woman leave now. Even if she wanted to leave, she couldn’t.

He had to keep a close watch on her.

Shi Wanyun gently nodded, a slight curve forming on her lips: "Mm, thank you. It’s a relief to have you all here."

She felt a little grateful.

Her plan had initially succeeded.

Lou Fei’Er, hearing that Xu Xin didn’t want to explain now, pouted: "You must have experienced something when that big door opened, right? I was just saying that it’s odd there was nothing behind such a big door."

Xu Xin smiled slightly: "There are indeed some connections here with me."

His words made the surrounding women all look at him.

"Connections with you? What do you mean?" Lou Fei’Er’s eyes widened with curiosity, "When I saw that statue from above, I was really perplexed. Could it be... that you are originally from this world? Haha, I’m just saying."

Originally from this world...

She wasn’t wrong.

He was indeed originally from this world.

Not just him, everyone here was originally from this world.

Because this is Earth.

"Once we go up, everything above will certainly undergo dramatic changes," Xu Xin said to Lou Fei’Er. "Gather everyone from the Explorers. I’ll explain everything I’ve been through here then."

What Xu Xin said made everyone present feel that the matter was indeed significant.

Lou Fei’Er nodded: "Got it."

Next, they just had to wait for this Underground Crystal City to ascend to the surface.

They had long adapted to the continuous roaring sounds around them, as well as the ongoing "crackling" sound that seemed to be the compression of rocks.
