The sky was filled with a golden snake dance, and a thunderclap roared overhead. The violent storm mixed with the heavy rain whipped down, and once it started raining around the Star Fruit Tree, it would always be a torrential downpour.
During this time, whether people or insects, all would hide from the rain.
In the northern part of Lake Heart Tree, a winding river swelled with high waters. Several Martial Artists were hiding from the rain in a shallow tree hollow.
âBrother Li, weâve been in the Star Fruit Treeâs area for nearly half a year, staying in this northern region the whole time. But the Star Crystals here are too scarce. When will we venture to the areas around the Beehive and Ant
Nest?â A Martial Artist with a somewhat childish face asked a man beside him.
The other man, not much older but a Four-level War General, appeared much more mature. He said to the person beside him: âItâs not the right time yet. Havenât you heard? Thereâs a war going on over there, which seems to be a major battle between old powers within the Star Fruit Tree. If we were to rashly get involved, weâd undoubtedly be cannon fodder. With our limited strength, we should focus on surviving here safely first.â
âBrother Li, youâre well-informed. Youâve even been to the southern and eastern regions. Are those people from the old powers really that powerful? Arenât they War Generals just like us?â The young man continued to ask.
He chuckled. âYouâre really ignorant. Thereâs a large difference between War
Generals. Let me tell you, this battle is between a long-time ruler of the Star
Fruit Tree and Little Overlord, Yue Feng, and the newly rising ruler Lin Zhen.
Although they are both War Generals, their abilities far surpass average War Gods. We, as we are, wouldnât even be enough for them to pinch.â âTheyâre that powerful?!â The young Martial Artists were all quite shocked.
âThe battle between these two rulers must be for the position of power and the Star Crystals,â one Martial Artist guessed.
Brother Li laughed with pride. It was clear that he knew much more than these newcomers. âHehe, you guessed wrong again.â
âIf itâs not for the position of power, then what is it for?â
âFor a woman!â Brother Li answered decisively.
âNo way! Theyâre already so powerful. Once they leave the Star Fruit Tree, they can have as many women as they want. Is it really worth it to fight to the death for a single woman?
âYou have no idea. Thatâs no ordinary woman. That is the Saintess of the Divine Sect, the most beautiful woman in the world and also the most talented.â
At this time, one of the Martial Artists didnât quite believe it. He had seen a woman fly past the forest towards the depths of the northern part yesterday. Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, the womanâs beauty had shocked him, and as a result, he hadnât slept all night. Even now, he was still somewhat listless.
No matter how beautiful the Saintess might be, she couldnât be more beautiful than the woman he saw yesterday. He firmly believed this, but he did not share it with the others.
Brother Li continued, âItâs said that the Saintess likes Lin Zhen, but the Little Overlord has imprisoned her in the Sky Dome, trying to force her to submit. Of course, Lin Zhen cannot tolerate this. If he doesnât even dare to save his own woman, then heâs not fit to be a Martial Artist. So, after bitter training, he went to the Sky Dome to rescue her. By now, the results of the battle should be known.â
âHmm⦠If thatâs the case, I hope Lin Zhen can win,â one Martial Artist said.
âItâs hard to say. I canât guess the outcome of this matter, and we donât need to worry about it. Itâs enough to live our lives well. Those big shotsâ matters are none of our business. I think the north doesnât seem safe either. The meteor passing by today was really terrifying.â
âYeah, it scared me to death. Fortunately, it wasnât aimed at us but went deep into the northern region instead.â
The Martial Artists looked at the sky, still feeling lingering fear. The starlight streaking across was unstoppable. If it were to hit someone, theyâd be dead for sure.
âCrack! â
A thunderclap sounded, and suddenly a figure appeared in front of the tree hollow, soaked through by the rain.
âYou⦠who are you?â The Martial Artists were startled, as the person in front of them had a very strong aura. This was not a War General anymore; they were clearly a War God!
Werenât War Gods unable to enter the Star Fruit Tree? Why would a War God appear here?
The person spoke, âDid you say that a streak of starlight passed by here?â
âAh⦠yes⦠It happened earlier todayâ¦â One of the Martial Artists stuttered in reply.
The figure scanned through them, and the aura in his eyes sent chills down their spines. Finally, his gaze landed on a Martial Artist in the corner. âYour heart is trembling. What did you see?â
The Martial Artist felt as if his innermost secrets were on the verge of being exposed under that gaze, but he didnât want to reveal his secret. The person in front of him seemed dangerous, and if he were to say something, would his goddess be hurt?
He pursed his lips tightly, not making a sound.
âTell me everything you know⦠Be obedientâ¦â The person in front of him sneered, and a sudden flash of golden light appeared in his eyes. The Martial Artist only felt a burst of sharp pain in his mind as the words entered his ears like a devilâs whisper, causing him to involuntarily spill all of his most deeply buried secrets.
âWhen I was eleven, I peeked at my cousin while she was bathing⦠Her chest was so big, and my saliva dripped onto her underwear.â
âWhen I was thirteen, my dad beat me, so I secretly put a scorpion in his bed. It stung his private parts, which swelled up huge. For the next half-month, it hurt so much that he would yell every time he used the bathroom. I never dared to tell anyone about thisâ¦â
The person on the other side seemed to be getting impatient: âGet to the point!
What did you see yesterday?â
âA very beautiful woman⦠Went north⦠Iâm a little worried about the starlightâ¦â
Whoosh!
The person in front of them had already disappeared, vanishing into thin air. The other Martial Artists were dumbfounded.
âThat scared me to death! How strong was their aura? Who was that person?â One Martial Artist peeked out of the tree hollow but did not see any figures.
Because of the heavy rain, he quickly pulled his head back and saw Brother Liâs face pale. He asked anxiously, âBrother Li, whatâs wrong with you?â
âThank heaven, thanks to the fact that we didnât say anything bad about Lin Zhen a moment ago. If Iâm not mistaken, this person must be the legendary genius of the 497th generation, Lin Zhen. Only he could use such a ghostly instant movement, itâs absolutely impossible to be wrong.â
âAh! So this is Lin Zhen!â Several martial artists were stunned, never expecting to see such a big figure here.
They had thought that such a legendary figure would look like some kind of monster with three heads and six arms, but he seemed to be about the same age as them and quite handsome. If it werenât for that incredibly powerful aura, he would even look like the boy next door.
So, the woman who went to the North must be Su Mingyue.
Having heard the news on the road, Lin Zhenâs guess was finally confirmed.
Sure enough, Su Mingyue had gone there, and Star Strike was also chasing her.
After being reminded by Zhao Xiaoman, Lin Zhen suddenly thought that Su Mingyue might have gone to that place where he had practiced his spear technique by the pool, as they had spent a not too short time there together.
Understanding this, Lin Zhen gradually recalled that when they left, Su Mingyue had gently said, âI think I will definitely come back here, you must remember.â
At that time, Lin Zhen didnât take it to heart. Now thinking about it, it was for hinn tn hââ¢nr
âMy silly girl, you must be fine⦠you must be fine.â
Moving swiftly under the recovery of Radiant Power, Lin Zhenâs short-range teleportation was almost continuous, with no gaps. No matter how dense the branches and leaves were, they couldnât block the teleportationâs progress.
It used to take almost a day to walk from Lake Heart Tree to the Northern Region, but now it took Lin Zhen almost just an hour.
After a teleportation, Lin Zhen appeared above the pool.
Standing in the air on a liquid metal shield, Lin Zhen looked around. The surrounding storm was pouring down, tree branches swaying, and lightning and thunder roared like the end of the world. There was no sign of Su Mingyue.
âMing Yue! Yueâer! â¦where are you!â
Lin Zhen shouted loudly, but the thunder in the sky drowned out his voice.
With a forceful push, Lin Zhen flew around on his shield, searching every corner. He believed Su Mingyue was here, and she must be alright.
âAh! Over here!â
During his low-altitude flight, Lin Zhen suddenly saw a white skirt corner, hidden under a huge flower petal, leaning against a tree.
Teleporting to that spot, Lin Zhen lifted the flower petal with one hand.
Su Mingyueâs long hair was soaked, clinging tightly to her face and chest. Her whole body was drenched by the rain, and her godly robe was plastered against her exquisite curves.
Her eyes were tightly closed, and her pretty face pale, making her look incredibly frail and helpless amidst the wind and rain.
Lin Zhen held Su Mingyue with one hand, her body cold to touch. He didnât know if it was from the rain or if she had lost her body temperature.
âYueâer, Ming Yue, open your eyes and look. Itâs me, Lin Zhen. Iâve come to find you.â
With both hands clutching her shoulders, Lin Zhen was filled with urgency. What had happened to Su Mingyue? The cold rain made it difficult to feel her body temperature, yet he couldnât see any wounds, her life or death uncertain.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Approaching Su Mingyueâs face, Lin Zhen tried to feel her breath.
But at that moment, Su Mingyueâs big eyes suddenly opened slightly.
âYueâer, are you alright?â The surprise in Lin Zhenâs heart was almost overwhelming. He had been somewhat desperate when he arrived, knowing that Su Mingyue was defenseless against the Star Strike. Yet she was alive, making him extremely happy.
âLin Zhenâ¦â Su Mingyue murmured, seemingly very weak.
âItâs me, itâs me. Iâve come to look for you, Ming Yue. Itâs okay now.â
âLin Zhen, wu wuâ¦â Su Mingyue suddenly threw herself into Lin Zhenâs arms, her body shaking violently, crying inconsolably.
This startle made Lin Zhen very nervous. Had Star Strike caused some irreparable damage to Su Mingyue after all?
Breaking out in a cold sweat, Lin Zhen pushed Su Mingyue away to examine her: âYueâer, donât scare me. What kind of injury have you got?â
Su Mingyueâs tears flowed silently, and her saintly demeanor prevented her from being too hysterical when crying. She slowly stretched out a small white jade hand, revealing a small mirror with faint cracks in her palm.
âMy Star-gazing Mirror is broken, my Star-gazing Mirror was broken by the Star Strikeâ¦â Silent tears continued to flow from her eyes. After so long in the storm, when she saw Lin Zhen, her girlhood nature was revealed. All her pain and grievances were released at this moment.
Lin Zhen knew how important the Star-gazing Mirror was, as it was even a weapon against extraterrestrial civilizations in the future. But at this moment, Lin Zhen embraced Su Mingyue, looked up to the sky, and let out a long breath, allowing the rain to beat down on his face: âItâs good that itâs broken.. Itâs so f*cking good!â
