đź“– Chapter 1076 - Just a Peek!
As soon as he left the world of the paper, an unprecedented feeling of liberation washed over Wang Baole’s mind. It was as if he had been released from heavy shackles, or freed from beneath a mountain.
This comfortable feeling instantly caused his consciousness to fluctuate, and he felt an indescribable sense of relief.
“This feeling…”
As Wang Baole’s heart trembled, there seemed to be a weight lifted from his consciousness. At the same time, the fluctuations of plentiful natural laws entered his awareness.
Wang Baole’s consciousness instantly shook, and his resonance to his own natural laws suddenly became unstable, as if they were about to be erased!
It was as if the laws of the world of the paper were different from those of the outside world. To be exact, it was that the outside world’s laws were more perfect. Thus, a conflict appeared with Wang Baole’s own natural laws as soon as he changed environments.
Wang Baole felt as if explosions were reverberating in his consciousness, causing his mind to blank out. Fortunately, he had nine Ancient Planets as well as a Dao Planet, so he could still last for a while. However… he knew that he definitely couldn’t stay here for too long.
Thus, he took the chance to quickly look around. He had noticed earlier that this was a room, and the sense of familiarity was because he was indeed familiar with this room. Twice now, he had seen this room through Chen Han’s eyes.
It was… Wang Yiyi’s room!
The decorations were slightly different from the previous two times, but they hadn’t changed much. However, Wang Baole had truly entered the world of the room this time, so he was able to see things more clearly.
He saw plenty of everyday objects and a large number of dolls, as well as many shelves that housed pearls of all sizes. He didn’t know what the pearls were used for, but they emitted waves of a soft and gentle light.
Aside from that… there were bottles of medicine. Perhaps it was because there were so many bottles of medicine that the whole room was suffused with a powerful medicinal fragrance. Moreover, the walls had no windows, so Wang Baole was unable to see what was outside the room. The only exit to the room was a tightly closed door.
Seeing all this, Wang Baole quickly scattered his divine will, attempting to bypass the room and see the world outside. However, the walls of the room seemed to be laced with some sort of restriction. As soon as Wang Baole’s divine will touched the walls, it silently disappeared like a mud cow falling into the ocean.
Wang Baole’s heart instantly sank, and he didn’t dare to keep trying, fearing a repeat of the previous two times. Instead, he lowered his head to look at the world he had left moments ago. As soon as he looked down, he saw… an open book!
There were many tiny stick figures roaming around on the book’s pages. Indeed… the world of the paper was in fact a page of the book!
“That book…” Wang Baole’s mind trembled, and he was about to look more carefully. But at that moment… a voice suddenly rang out from beside him.
“How did you come out?”
Wang Baole instinctively looked over and saw Wang Yiyi beside him, holding a calligraphy brush. She was smaller than the previous times Wang Baole had seen her. At the moment, she was looking at the tip of the brush with curious eyes.
She was looking at the tip of the brush, but Wang Baole felt like she was looking straight at him. In that instant, their gazes seemed to meet!
Wang Baole was silent, full of complex feelings. He wanted to speak, but he didn’t quite know where to start.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? How strange, you came out from the book… What’s your name? Did you come out here to play with Yiyi?” The little girl’s curious eyes were full of childlike innocence and excitement.
“I… wanted to take a look outside.” After a while, Wang Baole spoke softly.
“Outside? You mean here? Or there?” The little girl was taken aback. She pointed at the door.
“There…” Wang Baole’s gaze followed Wang Yiyi’s finger. He looked at the door.
“But… Mommy said that there are children-eating monsters outside. You are so weak. If you go out, you won’t be able to come back.” The little girl said with a serious expression. She quickly scanned the room and grabbed an ape doll.
“How about this? Don’t go outside. I’ll give you this doll, and you can just play with it in here.”
Looking at the ape doll, Wang Baole felt that it seemed a little familiar. He suddenly realized that this ape doll appeared somewhat similar to the old ape from his fifth past life…
But Wang Baole could sense that he was swiftly reaching his limit. He couldn’t last much longer under the constant onslaught of the difference in laws. Thus, he instantly withdrew his gaze and spoke using his divine will.
“I still want to go outside… and take a peek at this world.”
“Is that so…” The little girl seemed very distressed. She glanced at the door, then the brush, and then spoke in a hushed voice.
“Just a peek?”
“Just a peek!”
“Alright then, if you lie, you’re a puppy!” The little girl stood up and toddled toward the door, calligraphy brush in hand. Soon, she arrived right next to the door, and Wang Baole watched in excitement as she raised her little hand to push it open. But at that moment, she lost her footing and fell, bumping into a nearby shelf and causing a little fox doll to fall down.
It bonked the little girl’s head before falling to the ground.
When he saw the little fox doll, Wang Baole’s heart trembled again. But before he could take a closer look, the little girl had already grabbed the doll.
“Naughty little foxy! You dare hit my head? …But I still like you.” The little girl giggled and gave the fox doll a little kiss. In her laughter, she seemed to have completely forgotten about pushing the door open for Wang Baole.
Wang Baole felt a headache coming on. He was about to speak up, but at that moment…
The gentle voice of a woman came from the other side of the door.
“Yiyi, what’s got you so happy? Tell Mommy about it.”
The tightly closed door opened from the outside, and as rays of sunlight streamed in, a beautiful middle-aged woman in a long blue dress entered the room. She squatted down in front of the little girl and gently stroked her hair with a doting gaze.
“Mommy! The little foxy was naughty and attacked me just now, but I taught her a lesson. By the way, mommy, can I go out and play for a while?” A bright smile appeared on the little girl’s face as she asked.
The woman who had entered was very beautiful and had a gentle demeanor. She seemed to possess a unique temperament that made people feel at peace when they saw her. But when she heard the little girl’s request, a touch of sadness flickered through the depths of her eyes, and the hand stroking the little girl’s hair became gentler.
The little girl didn’t notice the flash of sadness, but Wang Baole did. However, he didn’t have the time to think too deeply into it. His focus was all on the outside world.
As soon as the woman entered the room and squatted down to stroke the little girl’s hair, Wang Baole was already able to see the world outside through the opened door!
It was a green meadow. The sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly, and the whole world was filled with color and limitless beauty. It seemed to exude an indescribable temptation, and a powerful impulse arose in Wang Baole’s mind. At that moment, his consciousness suddenly leaped forward, leaving the brush!
He charged straight toward the world outside the open door!
As he passed through the doorway, he faintly noticed Wang Yiyi’s mother glancing at him, but Wang Baole didn’t care too much. He was completely absorbed in rushing forward, charging past the threshold and arriving in… the real outside world!
But as soon as his consciousness entered the outside world… the meadow in front of him disappeared and turned into a barren wasteland. The bright sunlight faded and turned into utter darkness, and the blue sky turned a deathly gray. The entire world in all its beauty turned into a desolate void in the blink of an eye.
“This… this…!” Wang Baole was completely shaken. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the room he’d leaped out from just now. The scene he saw there caused waves of unprecedented shock to course through his mind!!
