However, in the distant Nanhua Faction at the Morning Star Sea Realm, it was a stormy night.

The disappearance of many disciples had alerted the high-level cultivators of the Nanhua Faction. However, no one noticed that something was slowly growing in the faction's most sacred location, the Forbidden Place where no one dared to enter.

"Not enough… this is not enough…" In the darkness came a husky and deep voice. It was speaking the human language, but it sounded like the growls of a wild beast. "Go and find more for me, and I'll give you more power!

"Let more people submit to me…"

"The people of the Nanhua Faction are on guard and are prepared for us. Now, the high-level cultivators of the faction are alerted. It's not wise to continue," another voice said. "I need to go out of the faction and recruit more powerful cultivators for you."

"Go… I'll give them the power they crave for!"

…

Half City was the most mixed place in the Morning Star Sea Realm; it gathered people from all kinds of forces in the region. Origins Internet Club was like a miniature version of that.

However, nowhere was livelier and friendlier than this place.

"Sir, a bottle of c.o.ke!"

"A bowl of instant noodles and a sausage!"

"A box of spicy sticks!"

"…"

These were the main sounds during the morning every day. At this moment, a voice quite different from the others said, "Little Shop Owner, what's this Harry Potter that you wrote on the blackboard?"

If it were a name like Jade Dynasty, some people would ask about it. But Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone?

[TL Note: Also known as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in some places].

Even though Mr. Fang put the weird name on the top of the other announcements on the small blackboard, more eye-catching than the announcement of [Battle of the Royal City; winner becomes king], few people cared to ask about it.

Fang Qi looked at the gorgeous face before him. With her red lips curled into a cute and teasing smile, she gazed at him intensely with her charming eyes.

As usual, the place quieted down, and the female disciples of the Nanhua Faction glared at her angrily but didn't dare to do anything disrespectful.

Mo Xian whispered, "That demonic woman again…"

"How come she comes here every day. It's so bothersome…"

"Careful; don't let her hear you."

"…"

A weird chill rose in the air.

"You can beat them after they go out of the shop; but don't do it inside." Mr. Fang pointed at the rules of the shop, showing that even he had heard the whispered words. There was no way that this demonic woman didn't hear them.

"Giggle…" She chuckled and said, "I've never beaten humans before."

With a twitch on his face, Fang Qi wondered if she only killed humans.

"Forget it. I'm in a good mood today and don't want to mind those little girls. I will just pretend that I didn't hear them. You still haven't told me what on earth is Harry Potter and what a movie is."

"You can take it as a short TV Series, because one episode tells one story," Mr. Fang explained this new stuff. "It's about the strange things happening to a group of cultivators named wizards…"

Meanwhile in the Jiuhua City Shop, Jiang Xiaoyue was also giving a short explanation to the customers who wanted to know about the new movie. Of course, she got the information from Mr. Fang.

"Wizards?"

The players who had played Diablo in Dajin might be able to understand this a little, but for the cultivators in the Morning Star Sea Realm, it was a new idea.

Although no one else asked about it, people were all listening to the explanation attentively while they had breakfast. Obviously, they didn't want to waste time on something that had a name which was uninteresting to them.

However, many of them were still curious.

"What good is this thing?" Ruan Ning only heard about it in the Legend of Mir 2, but she wasn't too interested in this movie. In fact, she looked contemptuous.

[TL Note: In the raw, it said that Ruan Ning had never heard about it before. It is because the wizards in the Legend of Mir 2 and Harry Potter have slightly different names in Chinese, but the translation is the same in English. Therefore, we have to alter the text a little for it to make sense.]

"I'm going to gather a group to watch the movie. Do any of you want to watch it?" Then, Mr. Fang sent the same message in a chat group named [Mr. Fang's Group Tour].

Lan Mo: [I want to watch it!]

Li Haoran: [Me! Me! Me!]

Jun Yangzi: [Wizards? Is it about magic? Count me in.]

Duan Buyi: [Daoist Brother Jun Yanzi will watch it? Count me in!]

Ye Songtao: [Why are you so interested in weird things? (Husky's puzzled face)]

Xue Daolv: [Faction Master Ye, this meme of yours ?]

Ye Xiaoye: [He got it from me.]

"…"

An Cheng: [Don't get distracted! Why are you so eager to watch it? Tell us! (Akita Inu's dirty smile)]

Jun Yangzi: [We encountered a bottleneck recently in our study. We want to watch similar things to get some inspiration.]

Nalan Mingxue: [We warriors don't need to watch it. You guys go ahead first.]

However, people like Dong Qingli and Shen Qingqing, who loved stories, and Xu Zixin, who loved new things, naturally joined the group.

"…"

Not as eager as with Jade Dynasty, many people still gathered to watch the new movie.

"So many people?" Ruan Ning read the many messages in the group. They were mostly from the people of Dajin, but she seemed to have sensed something.

She was more curious about it. "Maybe… maybe I'll watch it too?"

"All set? I'll begin the tour!" In his Qzone, Fang Qi glanced around the audience and said.

Compared with last time, Mr. Fang's group today had only one stranger, and no one made a big deal of it.

On the other hand, Ning Bi was surprised since she was always the focus of everyone wherever she went, even though it was in a negative way.

In contrast, Xu Zixin and the others, who often came to Mr. Fang's Qzone to play the King of Fighters, greeted her in a friendly manner, which surprised her even more.

"Hey! Sir! Wait!" Ruan Ning who had just finished paying hurried in.

[Your friend Ruan Ning is...o...b..ard.]

[Xi Yue, Su Zhi, and Su Yao are onboard.]

"I'll start the tour now!"

As Mr. Fang clicked [Start], the scene before them changed. It was dark, and it seemed to be the night.

The buildings on the street seemed to come from one century ago. It was midnight, but the cat sitting on the wall of the garden was wide awake. It sat there motionlessly like a statue, staring at the distant street corner without blinking.

A man appeared on the corner that the cat had been staring at, appearing so suddenly and silently that it seemed like he just popped out of the ground. The cat's tail twitched, and its eyes narrowed.

"So strange." The audience stared at the old man who had silver hair and a silver beard, since no one could see how he appeared here.

Flight? No, he seemed to have arrived instantly. It was more like – teleportation.
