Xiao Luo did not believe this evil. He cast his True Inner Force over his finger to protect it and prodded it into the dark nihility.

  Just as he reached in, a piercing pain jolted his fingertips. He retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted and brought it up to his eyes for a closer inspection. The flesh on the tip of his right index finger was oxidized as if he had soaked it in an acid solution. And his fingernails looked severely corroded.

  “You f*cking idiot! Now do you believe your Grand Duck Emperor’s words?” The duck put on airs as if to imply that Xiao Luo would suffer needlessly if he chose not to listen to his sage advice. Using his duck wings, which resembled human hands, he held the cigar and smoked a few puffs.

  “Tell me, how should I leave then?”

  Xiao Luo grabbed the duck’s navy uniform and lifted it into the air. He was already getting impatient and felt like he was being played the fool by this useless duck.

  \r \r \r

  “We can’t leave now. We have to wait for the nihility to disperse.” Sensing a cold and sinister aura emanating from Xiao Luo, the Duck Emperor couldn’t help but shiver.

  “How long do we have to wait?”

  Xiao Luo’s voice was icy as he was eager to get to the Arcana Land quickly; instead, he had to waste his time waiting here. The feeling of helplessness was like a raging fire burning within his entire body.

  “It’s…… it’s only ten to fifteen days.”

  The Duck Emperor’s eyes were rolling around awkwardly in their sockets as he spoke uneasily. However, when the duck saw Xiao Luo’s eyes glowering with rage, he immediately added, “We’re here in the Chaos Dimension, and relative to the two worlds outside, time remains still. No matter how long we stay in here, it’s only a blink of an eye in the two worlds outside.”

  Hearing this, Xiao Luo finally calmed down a little. He released the Duck Emperor and dropped him to the ground.

  The Duck Emperor’s butt hit the ground first, causing him to curse out in pain. “D*mn brat, how can you treat your elders in such a way? You will be struck by lightning!”

  Xiao Luo ignored the duck and walked straight to the sofa. He picked up a magazine from the table in front of him and then leaned back casually and read it. ……

  Waiting for nihility to disperse was incomparably long for Xiao Luo. The long wait got to him, so he started meditating to calm down. He closed his eyes to circulate his internal energy to pass the time.

  Here in this hall, all the necessities of life were available, and the huge refrigerator was well-stocked with food. There was meat, drinks, water, vegetables, and other foodstuffs. Every once in a while, the contents of the refrigerator would automatically fill up. In one corner of the hall was the kitchen, and in another corner was the bathroom.

  As if the long wait wasn’t enough, Xiao Luo also had to face a talkative, annoying duck.

  The Duck Emperor had nothing to do all day, and he would cook on a whim or select a book and cross his legs reading it, and sometimes, he would walk back and forth in the hall with his pair of duck wings behind his back and ponder about life. His duck butt would sway left and right, and on several occasions, Xiao Luo had the urge to kick him.

  Xiao Luo realized that this annoying duck would discreetly watch x-rated videos. Of course, these videos differed from those humans watched and were the documentaries about animal mating, so Xiao Luo gave him the moniker “lecherous duck.”

  “Where did all these things in the hall come from?” Xiao Luo asked. He was very curious, as these were all modern equipment.

  “My master brought them from the original world. I’m told that the pollution in your original world is too severe. The environment is foul, and the spiritual energy is thin. The people living there have very unhealthy bodies and extremely short life spans, am I right?” The Duck Emperor asked.

  Xiao Luo smiled but said nothing. However, he agreed with this point. Indeed, the environment of the original world was undoubtedly polluted. There was air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, noise pollution, pesticides, radiation, and many more—so why wouldn’t his world have a harsh environment?
