Master Yao Guang did not forget about the little lettuce in the end. He also put the lettuce on the plate. He carefully placed the chopsticks in the little lettuce's hand and patted his head in appreciation: "Well! Learn more from your sister Youyou in the future."
Little Lettuce smiled happily. He liked to follow Lian Youyou because Lian Youyou was the only one besides him who could see the world he could see. This made him no longer feel like an outlier.
"By the way, Youyou, what's wrong with this little Lettuce's eyes?" Master Yao Guang put the food into the little Lettuce's bowl while asking Lian Youyou seriously.
He picked up this little lettuce many years ago. When he picked it up, he promised that he would cure the little lettuce's eyes, and that's why the little lettuce followed him.
"Yes, Master, you are so beautiful and powerful!" He Shiqi also flattered her, "You can cure the little girl this morning, can you cure Rapunzel's eyes?"
Little Lettuce tightly grasped the chopsticks, and looked towards Lian Youyou with closed eyes, with sadness and pleading on her face: "Sister Youyou... I..."
Lian Youyou looked at everyone, then at Little Lettuce: "What are you trying to cure? I wonder how many people wish they had his eyes on the world!"
Master Yao Guang blinked and opened his mouth: "What? The Eye of the World... is what?"
Little Lettuce was completely stunned, because Lian Youyou's tone made it sound like these eyes were a treasure!
Lin Tingjun's expression remained calm as he continued to eat.
He Shiqi also scratched his head in confusion: "What is the Eye of the World?"
“Don’t ask. You won’t understand with your IQ. Just treat it as a treasure.” Hei Yan said while wiping his greasy lips.
He Shiqi was stunned: "Oh - baby!"
Lian Youyou looked at Little Lettuce gently: "Little Lettuce, others think you are an alien, because there are no companions like you in this world. But in other worlds, there are many - many - gods, demons, ghosts, and monsters that all covet your eyes. So, don't run around if you have nothing to do. You must stay by my side, otherwise, your eyes will be gouged out by others!" Lian Youyou made a horrifying gesture of gouging out her eyes. Little Lettuce's expression tensed instantly, and she moved closer to Lian Youyou, not daring to stay away.
"Is this really a treasure?" Lord Yao Guang's squinting eyes widened in disbelief. "Little Lettuce can only see the underworld, why do so many people want it?" Lord Yao Guang asked like a fool.
Lian Youyou raised her lips and smiled: "You call this place the underworld, but we call it the Netherworld. Let me ask you, what does the Nine Heavens mean?"
"Uh..." Mr. Yao Guang thought for a while, "It's just..."
“No need to say more.” Before Lord Yao Guang could say anything, Lian Youyou interrupted him, “Don’t use your limited thinking to distort the theory of the world. Haha, ordinary people think that gods live in the sky, and that there are nine layers stacked up? Hahaha—” Lian Youyou couldn’t help laughing when she thought of these folk descriptions of other worlds.
"There's also a saying that there are thirty-three heavens. Doesn't that mean there must be thirty-three layers?" Lord Yao Guang interrupted.
"Yeah." Lian Youyou held back her laughter and looked at him, "So all gods build buildings, and they build thirty-three floors, and then build another eighteen floors below, hahahaha—"
Master Yao Guang scratched his forehead and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
Lian Youyou brought a teacup: "This is like the world." Lian Youyou turned the teacup upside down, took out another teacup and turned it upside down on top, "This is another world."
Mr. Yao Guang and He Shiqi both stared with their eyes wide open. He Shiqi blinked, and sure enough, he didn't understand.
"This is… "
Lian Youyou continued to point at the stacked teacups: "In fact, they are the same size. They are not wrapped together. These worlds are together but isolated from each other, layer by layer, a total of nine layers. They coexist together, but there are boundaries between them, so they will not affect each other. Occasionally, there will be a hole somewhere..." Lian Youyou turned her fingers, and the Queen Mother embroidery needle in her hair flew out and passed through her fingers. "Swoosh!" It pierced through the two teacups and returned to Lian Youyou's hair.
Lian Youyou picked up two teacups with two holes of the same size on them: "People from this world or ghosts from that world came through. The human world and the underworld are the two closest worlds, and there is a transmission relationship between them, so the boundary between them is the weakest. There are many evil obstacles in the human world, and once they have a sense of the resentful ghosts in the underworld, they generate strong energy and can break through the boundary of the underworld and come to the human world to do evil. Because the underworld is the closest, the first thing Little Lettuce saw was the underworld."
"Oh~~~~~~" Master Yao Guang suddenly realized and thought about it, "So that night, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were not from the Netherworld, but from another world?"
“Smart.” Lian Youyou smiled at Master Yao Guang with appreciation, “So, little Lettuce can actually see all the worlds, but he still needs more practice. Once he opens all his horizons, that will be his time to shine. By then, all the demons and monsters in the Nine Heavens will surely come looking for him to fight for these eyes of the world!” Lian Youyou’s eyes became gloomy and dark, “The last time there was a fight was five thousand years ago. It was really a... bloody and brutal massacre…” Lian Youyou sighed while holding the cup.
Master Yao Guang couldn't help but ask curiously: "What about the eyes of the world?"
Lian put down the teacup leisurely, his expression became normal, picked up the chopsticks to eat the food, and said casually: "It was dug out and placed in the God's Domain to be the Eye of Heaven."
Little Lettuce's face turned pale immediately. Originally close to Lian Youyou's body, she quietly moved to the side a little, closer to the fat Master Yao Guang. The fat Master Yao Guang still gave people a sense of security.
Mr. Yao Guang also had a dislocated jaw.
Lian Youyou ate while looking at him: "Why are you surprised? Weren't you there at the time?"
After hearing this, Little Lettuce decided to go back to Lian Youyou.
"Am I that cruel?!" Yao Guang couldn't believe that he would chop people with a knife, bloody and bloody? And slaughtering people
"Tsk." Lian Youyou looked at him with amusement and continued to eat. "What's so strange about that? Didn't you ask earlier why the gods don't care about the human world? Because we are fighting every day, how can we have the extra time to care about this family's son being wrongly killed or that family's mother-in-law abusing her daughter-in-law?"
Yao Guang continued to look confused: "You gods fight wars every day? Why?"
Lian Youyou's expression suddenly darkened, and she glanced at Yao Guang: "To protect this world! So that you humans will not be extinct!"
Lin Tingjun paused with his chopsticks and frowned slightly, as if he had lost his appetite. He stood up and said lightly, "I'm going to bed." Then he left.
Yao Guang was stunned. In Lian Youyou's suddenly cold eyes, he seemed to see bloody massacres that wiped out the love of the gods. In those cold black eyes, there was only indifference and numbness to the whole world. In those wars, it seemed that there was more duty than love for the world. (To be continued)
