They were out of the secret realm, and then, Huang Lu felt the heavenly Qi numbers surge. He didn't even have time to check out his new Golem Minions yet, but that's for the next time.
[You have obtained 30,000 Heavenly Qi! You have now broken through to the 5th realm!]
His muscles became even stronger, like they were ridiculously stronger before, and now they were just plain obscenely strong. He could now even hold his own with the Sect Masters!
[You've unlocked the 5th Realm Royal Bloodline Special Ability - The Pocket Palace! You cannot obtain any other type of secret realm except as part of the upgrades via Coins.]
[The Pocket Palace starts with four bedrooms, a kitchen, two toilets and a living room. You may upgrade the Pocket Palace with Special Secret Realm ("SSR") Coins!. While active, the Pocket Palace Creates a Magical Door in the Real World.]
[Calculating Heavenly Comments... You have received 4,460 SSR Coins]
The fuck...
Huang Lu immediately activated it, and a door just popped up right in front of them.
"What's that?"
"My.. uh... pocket realm."
They opened it, and they were in a strange, surreal garden with a house. It was like a pocket realm, with natural lighting! There was sunlight, even though they didn't see any sun.
"Huh. It's really nice for a pocket realm." Toh Gen said. "Wait. Why are we walking into pocket realms like it's normal."
"You can't walk into pocket realms?" Huang Lu was rather dumbfounded.
"Not unless it's a 7th realm's pocket realm where the pocket realm!" Toh Gen answered. "But let me guess, it's one of your special heavenly things?"
Huang Lu nodded.
"In that case, it should be fine." Toh Gen shrugged. "Any chance you can teach me that shit?"
"I don't even understand it."
"Figured." Toh Gen shrugged.
Xue Xinling looked around. "This place feels calm, and safe."
Huang Lu walked to the door, and opened it. There were four bedrooms, two toilets, a kitchen and a living room. There was a simple sofa, each bedroom had a simple queen-sized bed, a cabinet for clothes, and a small table.
"Oh." Toh Gen looked. "This means you'll never have to camp outside ever again."
"Or pay an inn." Huang Lu interjected.
"Wrong. You still need to pay an inn. You should not be opening this door in the city. At least one room. Wait. Can we stay inside while you move?"
"I... don't know."
"Let's try it out." Toh Gen said. The girls looked horrified, and they all scrambled for the exit. There was a door that led outside. Huang Lu stepped out, and once the girls all got out, he closed the door. The door then vanished. That was when they realised, yes! They could stay inside.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
"How was it?"
"The exit disappeared." Toh Gen said, "But other than that, it seems fine."
The rule of the Pocket Realm was simple. The door appeared as long as Huang Lu was inside the pocket realm.
"You know, this means the rest of us can just chill and relax inside, while you go out there and travel." Toh Gen said. "We don't have to walk with you, or rent as many horses and stuff."
"I'm not letting you relax while I become a carriage driver."
"You mean, you ARE the carriage." Toh Gen responded.
"No. You're walking with me. The girls can relax if they want."
"Hey that's not fair. Is it because I don't have breasts and a vagina that I'm being singled out here? I demand my right to rest and sleep in your pocket realm! Equal rest for equal work!"
Huang Lu frowned. "You will have a maximum of 10 minutes per day."
Toh Gen protested. "No fair. 30 minutes."
"Fine. 30 minutes. The girls get to rest." Huang Lu, of course, was a typical male harem master who treated his women nicely, and the men have to unfortunately work. Sucks to be men, but at least men were not treated as toys. Or... maybe just not the right ones.
Xue Xinling sat on one of the beds. It was simple, but it beat sleeping outside by a mile. "Do you think you could get better quality beds?"
Huang Lu nodded, and then...

Huang Lu was the only one who could see it, of course, but he decided there was too many words and he'll get back to it later. "Yeah. maybe we could buy some nicer mattresses."
"There's four rooms, and five of us." Qian Ziyi said.
Xue Xinling smiled. "That's easy. One of us just has to sleep with Huang Lu every night. I'll do it."
Zhan Yuanfang suddenly had a look could kill. "Xinling, don't be greedy. Everyone knows we should have a roster."
Qian Ziyi didn't know what to say. "I'm.. uh.. not interested? I'll sleep by myself please."
The two earlier girls nodded. "Well, of course we can just reassign her slot amongst ourselves."
Toh Gen just laughed. "I didn't know these two are such thirsty folks."
Huang Lu ignored the ladies and checked out the kitchen. The moment he opened a wooden box that resembled a microwave, another thing triggered.
Special Secret Realm Food and Grocery Delivery Service
SSR Coin Cost (per person)
Foods 10 Groceries 10 Snacks and Drinks 10
"Huh. I'm hungry."
He selected 'Foods' and spent 10 SSR Coins. At that moment, a perfectly hot bowl of noodle appeared inside the box. Everyone else stared, their noses tickled by the smell.
"Where'd that come from?" Toh Gen looked as his mouth watered.
"Oh, this pocket realm seems to have some kind of food delivery service." Huang Lu said as he slurped on the noodle greedily. "Costs me SSR Coins though."
"Can we have some?" Toh Gen asked. "It looks, really, really good."
"Hmmm. lemme see."
