Swallowed Star: Food Shocks the Universe

Liyuan Star, as the commercial planet of the Youqing Empire, is the richest planet in this misty galaxy. There is a constant stream of merchants and travelers coming and going, and Lianlian City is one of the five main cities of Liyuan Star.

Xue Xi and Ai Chen headed straight for Liancheng and fell from the sky. The people around them were not surprised by this and the guards turned a blind eye to it. The two entered the city unhindered.

The Angel Universe where Ai Chen was located was extremely prosperous, so he was not surprised by this "remote and poor" place. He followed Xue Xi closely without looking away. On the contrary, Xue Xi looked like a little girl whose eyes lit up at everything she saw.

It's not her fault. Even though she had stayed on the imperial star of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire for a period of time, the universe is vast and each place has its own customs. The people and clothing living in the city of Lanlian gave her a refreshing feeling, so it was not surprising that she behaved like Liu Laolao.

The two were strolling on the street, hearing the bustling hawking sounds. It was quite similar to the style of a morning market on Earth, except that the things sold were a bit strange.

For example, the stall in front of Xue Xi at this moment had no tables, but instead had many cages with some strange-looking animals inside. They were suppressed by the energy field and unable to move. But from the sharpness in their eyes and the incessant roars, it could be judged that they were all violent beasts. Seeing that Xue Xi was very interested, the stall owner immediately started to shout out his wares in the universal language of the universe.

"Boters and axe beasts, take a look, ladies. They are both pets produced in the Holy Land. You can use them as war beasts, mounts, or even take them home for your children to play with. Each one costs 10 blue coins. I don't bargain for small businesses~"

Hearing this, Xue Xi looked away from the cage and sized up the chattering fox-like man: "I wonder what the stall owner means by these pets? They are so expensive, but I can feel that they don't even have the power of a planetary level. Are you trying to trick us because you think we are easy to bully?"

The stall owner's expression suddenly changed, and he said sternly: "I have already said that these two pets were hunted from the Holy Land, legally and reasonably. The price is fair no matter who you ask. If the two customers don't want to buy, just leave. Why insult me?"

Ai Chen was impatient: "Oh, is this how you do business? Xiao Xuexi asked first why it was so expensive and you didn't answer. Now you say we insult you just because we brought out something produced in the Holy Land? If you don't want to sell it, then don't sell it. Who cares? Xiao Xuexi, let's go!"

Xue Xi chuckled and pulled Ai Chen: "Please calm down, stall owner. We are all new here and don't know much about this. What is the holy land you mentioned? I hope you can forgive me and explain it to us. How about that?"

The sullen stall owner's expression finally eased a little, and he glanced at the wings behind Ai Chen, and said with a snort, "Since this is your first time here, it's my fault. Now that I have some free time, I will tell you about this matter. This holy land is the fundamental reason why Liyuan Star became a commercial planet of the Youqing Empire."

He took a sip of water from the small pot and continued, "The Holy Land of Liyuan Star is actually a world of a Realm Master. You two Realm Masters know how powerful that is. It is said that this Realm Master once wandered in the battlefield outside the domain. I don't know what kind of adventure he had and was hunted by the Zerg. He was fortunately rescued by an immortal god, but he temporarily withdrew because of his serious injuries."

Xue Xi asked with great interest: "So this holy land was created by the world master who was recuperating from his injuries. What is so special about this holy land?"

The stall owner knocked on the table in dissatisfaction: "Don't interrupt me when I'm talking. I'm just going down the story. Are you still listening?"

Xue Xi quickly shut up. Ai Chen pricked up his ears and listened. The stall owner nodded with satisfaction and continued, "The holy land was not created by the world master. After he withdrew from the battlefield outside the domain, he returned to his hometown, which is the Liyuan Star. Unfortunately, he fell ill and died soon after. After his death, the cave where he retreated to heal his wounds became the entrance to the world of the world master. This place is called the holy land."

"Later, the people from the Universe Mercenary Alliance took over this world. After a brief investigation, they regarded it as a mercenary assessment site within the scope of the Youqing Empire."

Xue Xi guessed: "Could it be that a world within a world appeared - I shut up!" Under the stall owner's death gaze, she quickly pinched her thumb and index finger, made a shut-up gesture, and signaled the stall owner to continue speaking.

The stall owner rolled his eyes. "No, the reason why this inner world became a holy place is that a hundred years after the Mercenary Alliance took over the world, a strange fruit suddenly grew inside. Some mercenaries bravely tried it. After eating this fruit, a strong spicy taste will be left in the mouth, but it has no effect after eating it, so people forgot about it."

The stall owner suddenly raised his voice and said, "Once, a beast trainer tamed a beast in the world of the Realm Lord and accidentally fed this fruit to the beast. Guess what happened next?"

Xue Xi rolled her eyes: "Hurry up and tell me, I'm just a kid and you're still guessing!"

The stall owner twitched his lips, and he grabbed a cage containing a pet and shook it: "This is what you need to know. After the beast with no power ate the fruit in the holy land, its body grew rapidly and reached the star level overnight! Just one fruit!"

Xue Xi and Ai Chen's pupils shocked. If it was true as the stall owner said, that one fruit could allow an ordinary beast to break through to the stellar level, then the value of this fruit would be far more than this price.

The stall owner looked smug: "So, you still say I cheated you?"

Xue Xi apologized first, then asked, "Stadium owner, do you provide this fruit as a set?"

Enjoying the beauty's apology, the stall owner shook his head and said, "Give it to me, of course I will. What the hell? Do you think I'm doing charity? You want to buy a star-level pet with 10 Youqing coins? Are you crazy? I just provide basic animals. As for the fruits, you can find them yourself!" The subject suddenly changed, leaving Xue Xi speechless.

What else can you say if there is nothing else? Her purpose is this fruit, otherwise why would there be such a big circle.

So, Xue Xi, who had walked around enough, pulled Ai Chen up and left without looking back, leaving the stall owner alone in the wind, disheveled: No, I won't buy any! I've spent so much time talking about feelings, but it's all in vain, right? Do you think I'm your intelligence station? !

Not knowing the stall owner's explosive mood, Ai Chen and Xue Xi went straight to the virtual universe branch they were sensing: "Xue Xi, do you want that fruit as an ingredient? I guess these are the only things that can attract you, right?"

Hearing Ai Chen's firm tone, Xue Xi smiled and said, "Yes, but it's not an ingredient, it's a condiment!"
