Chapter 111: Preparing to Move Parents
Let’s get back to Lu Chen’s side!
Because of the battle with Tang San and the others, the hotel where Lu Chen had been staying was left in shambles, forcing him to take Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing to find another hotel in Soto City.
Lu Chen booked two rooms: one for himself, and another for Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.
However, before going to sleep, Xiao Wu pulled Zhu Zhuqing along to Lu Chen’s room.
Xiao Wu blinked her large, sparkling eyes, looking at Lu Chen with a face full of curiosity:
"Boss Lu Chen, three years ago, when you first went out to hunt Spirit Beasts, you were just a Spirit Scholar without a spirit ring."
"Yet, only three years have passed. How did you become a Titled Douluo?"
It wasn’t just Xiao Wu who was curious; Zhu Zhuqing was equally intrigued.
After Xiao Wu asked, Zhu Zhuqing also pricked up her ears to listen.
Lu Chen could never tell anyone about his Golden Finger that made him stronger just by breathing; it was his greatest trump card. He could only respond vaguely:
"I am gifted with extraordinary talent. I’ve discovered that one day of my cultivation is equivalent to a month of others’ cultivation."
Xiao Wu listened, half-doubting, but there didn’t seem to be any other explanation.
Xiao Wu then turned her head to look at Zhu Zhuqing:
"Zhuqing, you said that when you were in the Star Dou Great Forest, you were being hunted, and it was Boss Lu Chen who saved you."
"Who exactly was hunting you?"
Zhu Zhuqing’s body trembled slightly. She pursed her lips, a flash of hatred appearing in her eyes. After a moment of thought, she decided not to hide anything from Lu Chen and Xiao Wu, and explained the entire sequence of events:
"The one who sent Spirit Masters to hunt me down was my sister, Zhu Zhuyun!"
"I come from the Star Luo Zhu Family. The Star Luo Zhu Family and the Star Luo Royal Family, the Dai Family, have intermarried for generations."
"Because our Spirits have great complementarity; the White Tiger Spirit and the Hell Civet Spirit can form the Spirit Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger."
"When a Spirit Douluo-level White Tiger Spirit Master and a Hell Civet Spirit Master activate the Spirit Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger, it is enough to rival a Titled Douluo."
Xiao Wu looked surprised upon hearing this:
"The Dai Family, the White Tiger Spirit... then you and Dai Mubai..."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, her expression grim:
"Dai Mubai and I actually have a marriage contract arranged by our families."
"This involves another secret. To Cultivate outstanding successors, the Star Luo Royal Family makes the princes of each generation compete with each other. Only the one who survives to the end can inherit the throne of the Star Luo Empire."
"Dai Mubai and I have a marriage contract, and my sister, Zhu Zhuyun, has one with Dai Mubai’s brother, Dai Weisi. We are all competitors; to survive to the end, we must kill each other."
"I have actually accepted this tragic fate. It’s just fighting, isn’t it? Whether I live or die, I dare to face it head-on."
As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing became increasingly angry:
"But my partner, Dai Mubai, is a complete coward. He is the true contender for the throne, yet he shamefully became a deserter."
"He fled from the Star Luo Empire to the Heaven Dou Empire, wasting his time at Shrek Academy. He does nothing productive all day, just looks for women everywhere to vent his desires, leaving me alone in the Star Luo Empire to face the suppression from my sister, Zhu Zhuyun, and Dai Weisi."
"When I escaped this time, my sister, Zhu Zhuyun, sent Spirit Masters to hunt me down. If I hadn’t encountered Lu Chen and received his help, it would have been uncertain whether I could have made it to Shrek Academy alive."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu suddenly realized. When she and Tang San first arrived in Soto City, they had seen Dai Mubai taking a pair of twin sisters to a hotel.
So that lecherous tiger had run to Soto City to indulge in debauchery just to escape the Family competition.
After pouring out her secret in one breath, Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, not daring to look Lu Chen in the eye, and said hesitantly:
"Lu Chen, Xiao Wu, I don’t want to deceive you. Now that you have taken me in, you are very likely to face the hostility of the Star Luo Royal Family."
"Because of its cruel competition system, every generation of emperors in the Star Luo Empire is outstanding, and the Star Luo Empire as a whole is stronger than the Heaven Dou Empire."
"The hostility of the Star Luo Royal Family will very likely cause you to face some unpredictable risks."
Lu Chen didn’t mind this at all. He already knew Zhu Zhuqing’s background clearly; if he had been afraid of the Star Luo Royal Family’s hostility, he wouldn’t have invited Zhu Zhuqing in the first place.
He reached out and rubbed Zhu Zhuqing’s head. Her hair was very soft, feeling like silk in his hand. Now that this little kitten was in his hands, she naturally wouldn’t need to face any more danger.
Lu Chen said in a confident voice:
"Then let them come find me. The fate that the Star Luo Royal Family, the Dai Family, and the Star Luo Zhu Family have imposed upon you—I will personally sever it for you!"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly raised her head, staring at Lu Chen without blinking. It was as if an iceberg were melting; her eyes welled up with emotion.
Her heart was about to melt!
The feeling of having someone to rely on turned out to be so reassuring.
Without having to bear those heavy burdens of fate, Zhu Zhuqing felt completely relaxed.
Immediately, Lu Chen smiled and said:
"That day in the Star Dou Great Forest, I was actually looking for a suitable Spirit Beast to serve as the spirit ring for my second Spirit."
"Xiao Wu, you are more familiar with the Star Dou Great Forest. Do you know which powerful Spirit Beasts over 50,000 years old are in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, both Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were extremely surprised:
"A second Spirit!"
They hadn’t expected that Lu Chen actually possessed twin spirits.
Xiao Wu suddenly became nervous; after all, she was a 100,000-year Spirit Beast in human form. However, the warm aura of the Substitute Blue Silver Emperor in her arms allowed her to gradually relax.
If Lu Chen wanted to harm her, there would be no need for him to give her the Substitute Blue Silver Emperor.
But after relaxing, Xiao Wu suddenly became nervous again. She was afraid that Lu Chen would target Da Ming and Er Ming.
Da Ming, also known as the Sky Azure Bull Python, was the Forest Emperor at the 100,000-year Spirit Beast level.
Er Ming, also known as the Titan Giant Ape, was the Forest King at the 100,000-year Spirit Beast level.
Da Ming and Er Ming were both Xiao Wu’s little brothers; she certainly couldn’t stand by and watch them become someone else’s spirit ring or Spirit Bone.
So, Xiao Wu looked at Lu Chen pitifully. She took the initiative to step forward, hugged one of Lu Chen’s arms, shook it, and acted spoiled:
"Boss Lu Chen, isn’t there any other way? Do you really have to hunt those Spirit Beasts?"
Lu Chen understood Xiao Wu’s concerns and chuckled:
"You can’t possibly plead for every single Spirit Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, can you? Don’t you have some Spirit Beasts you hate?"
Hearing about annoying Spirit Beasts, a few figures really flashed through Xiao Wu’s mind. There were a few powerful Spirit Beasts that always wanted to seize their territory, making Xiao Wu grit her teeth in hatred.
For example, that Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and that Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger...
They only had 50,000 to 60,000 years of cultivation, but their strength rivaled that of 100,000-year Spirit Beasts.
Even if she, Da Ming, and Er Ming joined forces, they could only drive the opponents away, not kill them.
If Lu Chen needed a spirit ring, he could hunt the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger. She could let Da Ming and Er Ming come to help.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger... these Spirit Beasts were even stronger than Titled Douluo. She was genuinely afraid that Lu Chen wouldn’t be able to defeat them alone.
Xiao Wu immediately nodded and said:
"I know of some Spirit Beasts. Next time we go to the Star Dou Great Forest, we can go specifically to hunt those. I can also find friends in the forest to help."
Lu Chen was overjoyed. Xiao Wu’s friends were none other than the Sky Azure Bull Python, Da Ming, and the Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming.
With the help of the Forest Emperor and the Forest King, hunting those Spirit Beasts would be much easier.
After all, Lu Chen was an auxiliary Titled Douluo, and his strength was quite limited. Only after adding a spirit ring to his second Spirit would he truly possess the combat power of a Titled Douluo.
Lu Chen smiled:
"Then it’s settled. You two go back and rest early. We’ll set off for the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow."
Afterwards, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing returned to their room, while Lu Chen sat in his own room to meditate and Cultivate.
The night passed quickly!
The next day!
Lu Chen took Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing and left Soto City, heading towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
In less than half a day, they arrived at a small town outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
While in this town, they happened to hear some interesting rumors.
It was said that last night, the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, who had been missing on the continent for 12 years, suddenly attacked Spirit Hall. Despite the obstruction of eight Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall, he forcibly collapsed the roof of the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Now, the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, has issued a wanted order. Anyone who can provide Tang Hao’s whereabouts will earn the qualification to join Spirit Hall. Anyone who can capture Tang Hao—dead or alive—will receive a Spirit Bone over 50,000 years old.
This news made many people feel excited.
They didn’t have the guts to capture Tang Hao; not everyone was qualified to take a Spirit Bone over 50,000 years old.
However, many were still willing to try their luck just to provide information on Tang Hao and earn the qualification to join Spirit Hall.
Lu Chen was shocked beyond measure upon hearing this news:
"This Tang Hao’s strength is truly terrifying. Even with eight Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall obstructing him, he was still able to collapse the roof of the Supreme Pontiff Palace and escape unscathed."
"Spirit Hall is truly useless. Tang Hao delivered himself to their doorstep, yet they still couldn’t catch him. A Tang Hao who could appear anywhere is simply too dangerous."
"My parents are still in Saint Spirit Village, with only Ah Yin watching over them. No, that’s not safe enough. I must move my parents."
"Hunting Spirit Beasts can be done at any time, but I must prioritize the safety of my parents."
Thus, Lu Chen immediately turned back and headed towards Saint Spirit Village with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.
He decided to postpone hunting Spirit Beasts for now; he planned to take his parents to a safer place.
