Chapter 506: Confirmed Straight Man! An Amazing Discovery!

That evening, after eating dinner and resting for a short while, Ning Fei and Bai Yi were enjoying a two-person sport on the cruise ship.

This so-called two-person sport was badminton.

"Sixteen to zero. Do you want to play something else?"

Ning Fei asked tentatively.

"No, I have to score at least one point! You're not allowed to go easy on me!"

Bai Yi wiped the sweat from her forehead and spoke with absolute seriousness.

Helpless, Ning Fei raised his badminton racket once again.

Given his current physical fitness and reaction speed, playing badminton was a piece of cake. He was mainly just doing it to stretch his limbs.

But what Ning Fei did not know was that Bai Yi was a member of her university's badminton team. She was even known as the "Badminton Goddess" among the local colleges.

She had originally planned to use badminton to completely "bully" her senior brother, but unexpectedly, she was the one getting utterly massacred.

The viewers could no longer bear to watch.

"How tragic! Who would believe that Bai Yi is actually on a college badminton team?"

"To be fair, Bai Yi's badminton skills are incredibly high. Her defense and counterattacks are excellent, definitely at a professional level. It's just that..."

"It's just that Temple Master Ning is too much of a freak."

"What is there to compare between an athlete and someone practicing cultivation?"

"Temple Master Ning is definitely a straight-up, unromantic blockhead. He doesn't even know how to let her win a single point!"

"Didn't Bai Yi say he wasn't allowed to go easy on her?"

"Can't you just listen to the opposite of what a girl says?!"

Little Fox and the Xiao Heijiu kittens lay off to the side, thoroughly bored. They seemed to think the match lacked any suspense.

Little Dog had already run off to play somewhere else long ago.

Right then, Ning Fei's movements slowed down just a fraction. Bai Yi seized the opening with a jumping smash, sending the shuttlecock flying over the net to land on the ground.

When Bai Yi landed, she noticed the shuttlecock hadn't been hit back and froze in a slight daze for a moment.

"Yeah! I won! I won!"

Bai Yi immediately started celebrating.

Finding it quite amusing, Ning Fei also began to laugh.

The bullet comments instantly exploded into cheers as well.

"Bai Yi finally beat Temple Master Ning! The current score is sixteen to one!"

"Playing against Temple Master Ning, I think scoring even one point is already incredibly impressive."

"I feel like Temple Master Ning wasn't even taking it seriously."

"He definitely wasn't trying. Look at his movements—they were so light and airy, completely effortless, yet indescribably elegant."

"Impressive!"

Ning Fei offered a word of praise from the sidelines.

Hearing his words, Bai Yi pursed her lips in a somewhat helpless manner, then said, "I'm not playing anymore, I'm done. You're just too good at this. I'm going to take a shower first."

With that, she headed back to her room.

Ning Fei put away the rackets and found a chair to sit down on. Little Fox obediently ran over to him.

This feeling was quite nice.

In the past, when he went out to sea alone, it had indeed been a bit boring. Having someone to accompany him in some sports naturally made things much more pleasant.

Stroking Little Fox's soft fur, Ning Fei gazed out at the ocean.

The sea at night was pitch black and looked somewhat terrifying, with only the crashing sound of the waves breaking the silence.

The Ancient Kingdom of Atlantis marked by the System was in this very region, encompassing both ocean and continent. But as to what kind of existence Atlantis actually was, Ning Fei would have to discover that for himself.

Afterward, he played with the little ones for a while longer, said goodnight to the viewers, and went offline to rest.

The next day.

Ning Fei decided to dock the ship and check out the land.

This stretch of land was the Iberian Peninsula, situated on one side of the Strait of Gibraltar.

"Today, we'll first go take a look around the Iberian Peninsula."

After starting the live stream, Ning Fei spoke to the viewers in the channel.

"The Iberian Peninsula is the second-largest peninsula in Europe and has a highly complex history. During the Middle Ages, they were basically fighting non-stop, giving birth to numerous kingdoms through events like the Reconquista, internal crusader conflicts, revolutions, and so on."

"It can also be considered one of the prime locations on Earth with an exceptionally good natural geographical position."

"The jurisdiction over the Iberian Peninsula is quite complicated as well. Most of its area belongs to Spain, but it also includes Portugal, Andorra, and Gibraltar, which belongs to England."

"I'm heading to a small coastal town."

The scene captured on video was incredibly harmonious.

Ning Fei held a dog leash connected to Little Dog, and carried a transparent backpack on his back that held Little Fox inside.

Bai Yi carried a similar transparent backpack, which contained the three small black kittens.

Xiao Feng perched on Ning Fei's shoulder.

As a rooster with awakened bloodline, Little Fei was also being led on a leash by Ning Fei right alongside Little Dog.

Meanwhile, Little falcon soared high up in the sky.

He had no other choice; to enter the city, they had to obey the local traffic rules.

Cities nowadays required dogs to be kept on a leash, and cats could easily run off and get lost. Not feeling reassured about leaving them on the ship either, Ning Fei simply brought all the little guys along.

"What kind of combination is this?"

"The tourist duo!"

"Haha, this is just too happy, isn't it?!"

"Just look at their life—it's completely filled with beauty."

The viewers all spoke with unhidden envy.

Leaving the Qingfeng Cruise Ship anchored at the port, Ning Fei and Bai Yi used a ride-hailing app to call a car and headed straight into the city.

It had to be said that the moment they appeared, they instantly drew the gazes of countless people.

Walking down the street, their head-turning rate was almost one hundred percent.

Especially when many people spotted Little Fox and the small black kittens inside the backpacks, their hearts practically melted from the cuteness.

In this day and age, who wouldn't like a few adorable little animals?

"Brother, where are we going?" Bai Yi asked in a low voice beside him, feeling the burning stares of the people around them.

"To the library first. I need to look up some information."

Ning Fei replied.

The environment here was very unique, brimming with distinct European characteristics.

The houses were built in rows, stepping upward like stairs, and were painted in vibrant shades of pink and pale green, giving off a fresh and bright feeling.

This city was also a popular tourist destination, so there were many foreign visitors.

"Temple Master Ning! Temple Master Ning!"

"Temple Master Ning, we're your fans!"

It wasn't long before someone recognized Ning Fei. People began to gather around him, though they didn't get too close; they merely followed him while recording with their mobile phones.

Many others simply sneaked a few angled selfies to get a picture with Ning Fei, then continued walking along with the crowd.

These fans were of all sorts—black men, white girls, people with Asian faces, and so on.

Seeing this scene, the viewers in the live stream were amazed by Ning Fei's immense popularity.

One had to realize that this was just a small border town. The scenery was beautiful and the local population was sparse, leaving mostly visiting tourists.

Generally speaking, in places like this, many people wouldn't recognize celebrities, especially international ones.

Yet Ning Fei's popularity was indisputably high.

At this moment, the library's security guard was boredly nodding off. People borrowed fewer books nowadays, so the library was usually quite quiet.

Right then, he saw a massive, densely packed crowd of people walking over, which gave him quite a start.

Only after taking a closer look and realizing it was Ning Fei did he relax.

Ning Fei greeted his fans and requested that they stop following him, then headed into the library to browse through reference materials.

While Bai Yi took care of all the little ones in the lounge, Ning Fei simultaneously turned off the live stream.

"Many people are studying in the library. I don't want to disturb anyone, so I'm closing the live stream for now,"

Ning Fei had said.

Leashing a dog in the city, maintaining silence in a library—these were very simple little things, but they reflected a person's character and upbringing.

Even though the stream ended, Ning Fei's conduct still won a wave of praise from the viewers.

Entering the library, Ning Fei went through some very old books, mainly travelogues and Plato's theories regarding Atlantis.

This was also the only clue available.

He spent about an entire afternoon researching extensive materials and gathering a large amount of knowledge together.

He finally got the answer he was looking for.

"The area the System marked for Atlantis falls right across half of this peninsula and half of the ocean. Right now, there are two possibilities."

"One possibility is that this small city is the ancient Atlantis. Atlantis was never destroyed at all; it merely survived in the form of another city, which is why no one has been able to find it."

"The other possibility is that the Ancient Kingdom of Atlantis... is right beneath this city!"
