In A Cultivation World With An Entertainment Park-Chapter 23 Old Fru’s Changes
"Excuse me, but who are you? Wait! You're Old Fru's brother, right?"
“...”
.
Old Fru didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Young master, is it okay if I smack you on the head?
Old Fru shook his head wryly: "Young master. It's me. Old Fru." 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚
Eh?
Chu Che's eyes almost fell from their sockets in shock.
So this guy wasn't Old Fru's brother but old Fru himself?
What sort of magic is this?
He knew he was in a fantasy world. ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢
But this was too magical, alright?
If everyone changed like this, then wouldn't he fail to recognize people in future?
'System, what's going on here?'
[My darling Host... It's like this… Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...]
"_"
As the system explained, Chu Che found everything too inconceivable.
So Old Fru's change was because he grew stronger?
From the system's analogy,
Old Fru was currently within the 10th Dan and could live up to 247 years max.
But right now, he was already 231 years old.
So if he didn't break through to the 11th Dan, he would typically continue wrinkling, aging, and eventually die 15 years from now.
As for why Chu Che was so shocked, even in the original owner's memories, he had never seen anyone reclaim some of their youthfulness before.
And it appears that when the original owner was still a baby, those were the years old Fru turned old... Which was the starting period which indicated that his time was soon up.
So from the onset, Chu Che had always known Old Fru as an old man.
Again, as the years went by, old Fru's added immensely.
All memories had Old Fru as a grandpa, so how can Chu Che not be shocked by the change?
.
In this world, people could look like 18 years olds for thousands and thousands of years, provided they broke through their cultivation.
Now, even though Old Fru still looked old, his entire hair had changed from white to black, making Chu Che think that he might be Old Fru's brother or something
Or could it be that hair dyes existed in this world?
Additionally, some of his wrinkles had faded away, making him look younger.
Earlier on, Chu Che could say that based on earth's standards, old Fru looked like a 100 and something years old back on earth, with a face full of wrinkles.
But now, he just looked like a 60-year-old grandpa with far fewer wrinkles, a full head of black hair, and a straight back.
Anyone who saw him now would think that he was Old Fru's younger brother or child.
Chu Che was so shocked that he couldn't take his eyes off him.
Sigh...no wonder the people in the cultivation worlds didn't need make-up.
This sort of thing was truly heaven-defying.
Old Fru saw hope and couldn't help laughing aloud.
Who didn't want to live long?
He thought he would die in a few years.
But now, he could live alongside his young master.
Also, Old Fru was shocked when he saw his cultivation progress.
[99,999,969/ 100,000,000]
So didn't this mean he only needed 31 points to break through to the next dan?
By then, his life would be extended, and part of his youth would've returned to him.
So how can he not be happy?
.
Of course, because he had allowed himself to get to the point, it would take at least 3 breakthroughs for him to look like his former 18-year-old self.
Another thing to note was that after getting his younger look back... no matter how he broke through later on, he wouldn't be able to look more youthful than 18. e again tomorrow.
.
"Old Fru, we have to talk."
Eh?
Old Fru, who was overly excited, looked at Chu Che's troubled expression and frowned.
Did something happen?
Old Fru nodded, and the duo left the gaming hall in silence, dashing straight back to Chu Che's Courtyard.
And after closing the doors and sensing that no one was listening in or watching, Old Fru nodded at Chu Che.
"Shadows."
~Swish!
Like lightning, the 3 people in black sprung out of nowhere and appeared before Chu Che on one bent knee.
"My Lord!" The trio kept their heads down as they waited for Chu Che's orders.
They were Chu Che's secure guards, 2 men and a girl who went by the names; Dhin Chu, Ghu Chu, and Huyan Chu.
Chu Che looked at them calmly: "You may rise."
"Thank you, my lord."
"Hmm."
With that, Chu Che narrated all he knew about the Black Valley.
.
Bam!
"Young master! These people are too much! So they were the ones responsible for the incident a month ago?"
Chu Che looked at Old Fru in confusion.
Incident?
What incident?
"Young master, a month ago, when you were still ill, several children mysteriously vanished. And since then, we have been looking for them. All this while, we had no clues to the matter. But now, thanks to the lord's master, we can finally get them back. The only question now is whether they are still alive or not. Either way, since we'll be getting them back, then, do we gather the troops?"
Chu Che smiled mysteriously: "Old Fru, we have some among us. So why alert them?"
"But, but young master... If we don't, then how will we fight? Are you thinking... eh?... No, no, no, no! Young master, that won't work! You can't possibly be thinking of going there alone, right?"
"No."
Old Fru let out air from relief
~Phew~~
"Young master, for a comment, I thought you'd be going alone."
"No need to worry, Old Fru. I won't be going alone."
Old Fru laughed happily: "Hahahahaha. It's good... It's good that you won't be going alone."
Chu Che massaged his chin calmly: "Hmhm... I won't be going alone... I'll be going with you 4."
"Of course we will be there, young master. We will lead our men to take them down."
"Old Fru... I think you don't quite understand me. Like I said, there won't be any troops involved in this matter. It will just be us."
