Chapter 738 Secret Deal

Back in planet Lan Jiang, at a restaurant called ‘My Daughter’, Merlin and Zhu Honglian were also following the news.

Zhu Honglian grinned. “Alice is going too, right?”

Merlin nodded with pride. “Yes, our daughter isn’t weak. She’s much stronger than us at the time!”

Zhu Honglian smiled. “With Ze watching over her, it’s only natural.”

Merlin’s mouth twitched. He could tell that his wife quite liked that kid. However, he didn’t like it. Alice was still a kid.

‘How could she leave this quickly?’

She should wait at least a few hundred years… No, a few thousand years! Zhu Honglian couldn’t resist exclaiming, “Time goes by really fast. It has already been a few hundred years ago since we went.”

Merlin nodded. If it wasn’t that Zhu Honglian needed to recover and he needed to take care of Lu Wen and Fu Shuya, he would definitely go to the ancestral planet too.

“We were much weaker than the other three races back then.”

Zhu Honglian had a wide smile on her face. “This time, with Ze and the others, the Human Race will s.h.i.+ne brightly!”

Merlin rolled his eyes, but he didn’t object either. He knew that Lu Ze and the rest were definitely extremely powerful.

Other than them, Ye Mu and the others who just came back from the battlefield were also watching the news. Ian asked, “Ze and the girls are going, right? I heard they’re very strong. Ze’s power has already reached the planetary state.”

Ye Mu felt lifeless. “Ze is too much of an animal. We’re not even at the core martial state, and he’s already a planetary state?!”

“We came back too late. Otherwise, we could have attended to watch and cheer for them.” Tianyuan Qianhua said, “There will be a live stream when the compet.i.tion starts. We can watch them there.”

Xuan Yuqi nodded. “She’s right. With Ze’s power, there would surely be a dazzling performance.”

Ye Mu sighed. “That guy is a monster.”

Everyone was looking forward to Lu Ze’s performance.

Earth.

Lu Ze and the girls had dinner and rested for a while. Thereafter, they returned to their rooms to cultivate.

Lu Ze sat on the bed and used a level-5 planetary state red orb.

He was in no rush to learn divine arts. He went back to his routine of working on cultivation level during the day and learning divine art at night.

Cultivation level was the foundation after all.

The energy of the level-5 planetary state orb was exceptionally terrifying. Even with Lu Ze’s current body, he still found it difficult to handle. There was constant pain. Still, it was very effective. He was confident that he could reach level-2 planetary state in just a month.

Even Lu Ze was shocked by this terrifying speed.

This was the planetary state! An ordinary prodigy would need decades to jump to the subsequent level. Was he living in a dream?!

The tide of red energy surged in Lu Ze’s body as an endless spirit force was sucked into him.

During this process, Lu Ze’s body was becoming stronger. After forming a planetary rune, his cells were empty, but now, they were being filled again.

When it was completely filled, Lu Ze could begin the second forge and reach level-2 planetary state.

Five hours later, the sky dimmed down.

Lu Ze got out of bed and evaluated his situation. There was a major improvement!

During this time, Lu Ze sighed. He hadn’t seen the sunset on Earth for a long time. It wasn’t prettier than the sunsets on other planets. It was just an ordinary sunset, but this was Earth’s after all.

Naturally, it was unique in Lu Ze’s heart.

When the sky completely fell dark, Lu Ze walked out of his room.

Alice and the other girls were cooking already. Meanwhile, Nangong Jing and Qiuyue Hesha were still cultivating.

Ying Ying floated around as though she wanted to help, but she reached out her little hand only to grab a piece of meat.

Lu Ze: “…”

‘This little guy was sneaking food!’ Ying Ying sensed something and looked in Lu Ze’s direction. She instantly stopped chewing. Ying Ying quickly put the plate on the table as though she didn’t steal anything.

Lu Ze laughed. Without the stains on her lips and the slow movements of her chewing mouth, he would have believed her too.

Lu Ze walked up to Ying Ying and said quietly, “Ying Ying, you’re stealing food! I’m going to tell your sisters.”

Ying Ying stiffened at his remark.

Lu Ze wiped the stain on her lips and showed it to her. Ying Ying’s eyes widened as though saying, ‘How come I didn’t realize it?’

Lu Ze’s smile turned evil. “You don’t want me to tell your sisters, right?”

Ying Ying nodded pitifully. If they found out she was stealing food, they wouldn’t let her in the kitchen!

Lu Ze grinned. “I can help you keep a secret, but whatever dish I like today, you can’t fight with me!”

Ying Ying responded pitifully, “You definitely like all the dishes!”

Lu Ze looked at her in surprise. She wasn’t stupid. He then coughed. “Alright, I want half of all the dishes…”

Before he could finish, tears started to gather in Ying Ying’s eyes. He immediately tried to pat her head. “Okay, okay, okay, I’ll have a third!”

Only then did Ying Ying nod. After that secret deal was made, the other door opened.

Qiuyue Hesha walked over. Lu Ze and Ying Ying immediately acted normal.

Qiuyue Hesha glanced at the two and then at the table. She grinned but said nothing.

At the dinner table, Lu Ze happily ate while Ying Ying only carefully took a few dishes.

This made the others worry. “Ying Ying, are you okay? Are you sick?”

Ying Ying shook her head. “I’m fine, I just can’t eat that much.”

Everyone was in disbelief. This didn’t seem right.

Qiuyue Hesha smiled. “Ying Ying is so strong what can happen to her? Hurry up and eat.” At this point, Qiuyue Hesha communicated with Lu Ze mentally. In his head, he could her saying, “Little brother Lu Ze, you owe me one.”

Lu Ze: “…”

Indeed, Qiuyue Hesha did discover them!

On the second day, the four-race meeting began.

Two days later, Lu Ze’s Light Beam reached familiar mastery. By the third day, the four-race meeting was officially concluded.

Now, the stage was open for the prodigies.
