Chapter 9 - The Nebula Inside The Bead

When the two of them returned to the airport terminal, Bob was waiting there anxiously.

When he saw Linley's figure, he immediately hurried over. "Young master, you've made me so anxious. Where were you just now?"

"Uncle Bob, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I just went to visit Grandpa Yama's spaceship." Linley also realized his mistake, so he said softly, with a little timidity in his tone. "Please don't tell my sister. Otherwise she will be angry again."

Linley's sister, Angel, loved her younger brother very much, but she also disciplined him very strictly.

"Hello! Are you Mr. Bob? It was actually my fault. I saw that the little guy liked my spaceship so much, so I took him to visit it without your permission. I'm really sorry for causing you any trouble." Yama looked at how pitiful Linley was, he took the initiative to introduce himself to Bob, "My name is Yama, and I am an interstellar traveler."

"Hello, I'm Bob. I'm so sorry if our young master cause you any trouble." Bob took a closer look at the old man next to Linley. Although he looked nothing different from ordinary people, Bob naturally developed a sense of trust after seeing Yama. He believed that the old man would not do anything detrimental to Linley.

"No troubles at all."

"Okay, young master, let's go." Bob said to Linley.

"Uncle Bob, you won't tell my sister about what I did just now, will you?" Linley still seemed a little worried.

"Don't worry, young master, I won't tell the lady." After Bob finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Yama, "Mr. Yama, have you booked a hotel in Mureta 3 City? If not, you can come to our manor to stay. I believe the young lady will welcome you very much."

Bob himself didn't know why he extended such an invitation to Yama, whom he was meeting for the first time.

But after hearing this, Linley happily took Yama's hand and said, "Yes! Yes! Grandpa Yama, come and stay at our house, and by the way, you can tell me the story of your interstellar travel."

Yama looked at Linley, nodded, and the three of them walked towards the outside of the airport. In fact, just now, Yama quietly used a little bit of persuasive power on Bob, which made the old butler completely trust him when they were just meeting for the first time.

After arriving at Raven Manor, Angel said a few words that Linley didn't understand etiquette, but she also expressed her welcome to Yama.

After dinner in the evening, the whole family sat together and listened to the story of Yama's interstellar travels. The story of Yama made the night full of thrills, excitement, fun and change. It wasn't until very late that everyone reluctantly went back to their rooms to rest.

Several minutes later, Linley quietly ran out of his room. He first came to Yama's guest room, but there was no one inside. So he tiptoed downstairs again. He saw Yama sitting on a stone chair outside the house looking up at the stars.

"Grandpa Yama, aren't the stars beautiful?" Linley asked, sitting next to Yama.

"Yes, they are eternal. Unlike our human society, which is always short-lived and always changing." Yama seemed to have known that Linley would come, and he was not surprised by the little boy's appearance.

"Grandpa Yama, why don't I understand what you said?"

"It's okay if you don't understand!" Yama turned to face Linley and said with a smile, "Come, Linley, grandpa will show you something." After saying that, a pendant appeared in his hand, and he put the pendant in Linley's hand.

Linley looked at the pendant in his hand and saw that it was a large transparent bead. There seemed to be something hidden inside the bead. Then Linley brought the bead to his eyes. When he saw clearly what was inside the bead, his mouth widened slightly.

There was actually a nebula inside.

Gazing at the nebula inside the bead, Linley suddenly found himself in the vast universe, and the nebula was floating at his feet. Slowly, Linley found himself drifting into the nebula, and then he saw the galaxies inside, different suns, and different stars.

"Ah!" Suddenly he felt something pricked his arm, and the pain made him return to his courtyard from the nebula. He saw Yama put something into his pocket. Looking at his hand again, a trident pattern appeared on his wrist at some point, just like the pattern on Grandpa Yama's spaceship.

But when he wanted to see it more clearly, the pattern disappeared again. Linley wondered if he was in a trance. He asked Yama: "Grandpa Yama, I just saw a strange pattern on my wrist. Did you see it?"

"What pattern? I didn't see it!" Yama said and grabbed Linley's hand to look at it. Linley's wrist is very clean and free of any engravings.

"Maybe you became disoriented by looking at that bead for a long time." Yama smiled and said, "Do you like this pendant?"

"Well! I saw something like a nebula inside the bead." Linley asked curiously. "Is this bead real, grang pa?"

"Of course it's real!" Yama laughed.

Linley suddenly felt that he had asked a stupid question. How could a real nebula be inserted inside a small bead?"

"If you like it, I'll give it to you! I made it myself during my interstellar travel. It's not worth much! Wear it if you like it!" Yama put the pendant around Linley's neck.

"Thank you Grandpa Yama! I like your gift very much!" Linley quickly expressed his gratitude to Yama very politely. "I should go back to sleep, otherwise if my sister finds out, I will be scolded." After sticking out his tongue, Linley walked back into the house.

Looking at Linley's back, a mysterious smile appeared on Yama's lips.

That night, Linley saw the nebula again in his sleep.

The next morning, when Linley came to the kitchen, he didn't see Grandpa Yama. "Sister, where is Grandpa Yama?"

"Oh, Grandpa Yama said he had something to do, so he left earlier.this morning. Uncle Bob gave him a lift to the capital. At that time, you, the little lazy boy, were still dreaming!" Angel said to her brother with a smile.

"He left so soon? I haven't heard enough of his stories yet!" Linley was slightly disappointed. "By the way, sister, look, this pendant was given to me by Grandpa Yama, and it has a nebula inside!"

Linley suddenly remembered the pendant Grandpa Yama gave him last night. He quickly took it off and showed it to his sister.

Angel looked at the pendant in her brother's hand. It was indeed very unique, but she didn't see any nebula. She hung the pendant around Linley's neck again. "It is indeed very unique, so you should wear it well. Grandpa Yama said that you will see him again in the future, so don't lose his gift before then!"

"I won't, don't worry." Linley stuck out her tongue, then picked up the bread her sister had prepared for him and ate it.

Yama's spaceship left the planet Mureta 3, and this time he directly ordered the spacecraft to fly back to the Origin Planet.

Sitting in the spacecraft, Yama held a micro syringe in his hand. The front end of the syringe was not a needle, but a small seal in the shape of a trident.

In the year 3742 of the Galaxy Calendar, Grandmaster Yama, the Sovran of The Deep, met Linley for the first time on Planet Mureta 3. No one paid attention to this incident at the time, not even the two people concerned, but it was of great significance.
