Great Desolation Heaven Covering Hand

Tianchen Hall, Lu Chen stood beside a small stream, tilted his head back, and gazed at the Great Qian's destiny above the firmament.

At that moment, Lu Chen's eyes held a pair of extraordinarily strange double pupils.

Deep within his pupils, golden light flickered.

In Lu Chen's eyes, although the Great Qian's destiny was not especially flourishing, it was still incomparably prosperous. Its purple-gold aura of destiny had transformed into the shape of a true dragon, soaring above the firmament and revealing the current national strength of the Great Qian Divine Dynasty.

"For the Great Qian's current state, its national fortune should be able to continue for at least a hundred years. Yet somehow, it will lose more than half its territory within the next fifty or sixty years. That's truly bizarre."

Lu Chen muttered to himself in confusion.

However, just as Lu Chen was lost in bewilderment, a semi-transparent panel appeared before his eyes once more.

Text continuously surfaced across the panel.

Congratulations. You successfully brought your Imperial Father, the Azure Emperor, out of mortal danger. However, not long ago, you also successfully made your childhood companion, the current Heavenly Human Realm expert Luo Li, say the three words "I like you" to you.

Unfortunately, you are only at the Land Immortal Realm, while Luo Li is a Heavenly Human Realm expert. With the woman strong and the man weak, your days in the future may be rather miserable.

Reversal Mission issued: Have the peerless Heavenly Human Realm expert Luo Li personally wash your feet!

Mission reward: Heaven-ranked supreme-grade divine ability: Great Desolation Heaven Covering Hand.

"Hmm!"

When Lu Chen saw that the Reversal System had issued a new mission, he froze for a moment.

Have that little girl Luo Li wash his feet?

Lu Chen poked at his gums.

Was that really appropriate?

The little girl was not even six yet, and she was also the reincarnated transmigrator of an Immortal Emperor.

If Luo Li awakened the memories of her previous life, wouldn't she kill him?

Lu Chen felt somewhat guilty.

However, when he saw the Heaven-ranked supreme-grade divine ability, Great Desolation Heaven Covering Hand, he gritted his teeth, and a look of resolve appeared on his face.

Damn it, he had the Reversal System decades ahead of schedule. So what if she was the reincarnation of an Immortal Emperor?

Could he really cower?

With that thought, Lu Chen stopped hesitating.

He checked the time. It was five in the afternoon.

Leave the palace. Destination: the Duke of Zhenguo's residence.

Go find that little girl Luo Li.

At that moment, in the Duke of Zhenguo's residence, Duke of Zhenguo Luo Zhenshan, the Duchess of Zhenguo, and Luo Li were chatting together.

"Darling, your father knows that among His Majesty's many princes, you only like playing with the Eleventh Prince. Now that His Majesty has arranged a marriage, you must be very happy. But for now, it's only setting a wedding date. The actual wedding will definitely have to wait another decade or two."

Luo Zhenshan spoke to Luo Li with a beaming smile.

Hearing this, little Luo Li bit her finger, a conflicted look appearing on her face.

Get engaged to Brother Lu Chen?

She liked playing with Brother Lu Chen, so she wasn't unwilling to get engaged to him.

It was just that, for some reason, Luo Li always felt that an anxious voice was speaking to her within her mind.

Don't get engaged. Don't get engaged...

The feeling had appeared out of nowhere, yet it truly existed.

As a result, little Luo Li was rather conflicted.

"Darling, think about it. As long as you get engaged to His Highness Lu Chen, you'll be able to play with Lu Chen forever. And he'll make all the delicious food you like. Wouldn't that make you happy?"

Nearby, when the Duchess of Zhenguo saw her daughter looking conflicted, she smiled and spoke.

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Li's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, okay! I want to marry Brother Lu Chen."

Seeing this, Duke of Zhenguo and the Duchess of Zhenguo both smiled and nodded.

As expected, this girl had definitely been lured in by Lu Chen's delicious food.

"Master, Madam, the Eleventh Prince has come to pay a visit!"

Just then, a guard hurried over to deliver the message.

"The Eleventh Prince!"

"Our good son-in-law!"

"Brother Lu Chen!"

Duke of Zhenguo and the others all spoke in delight upon hearing this.

"Why haven't you invited him in yet?"

"No, I'll go personally."

Duke of Zhenguo grinned broadly as he cheerfully walked toward the residence gates.

On the other side, Lu Chen was brought inside in a daze by Duke of Zhenguo and the Duchess of Zhenguo.

After that, the two of them looked at Lu Chen with smiles on their faces, clearly pleased with everything about him as they chatted about this and that.

It took a full half-hour before Lu Chen finally escaped, dragging Luo Li away from the scene.

"Little Sister Luo Li, how about we play house?"

Lu Chen held Luo Li's hand and asked with a beaming smile.

"Play house? Okay, okay! What are we acting as this time?"

Luo Li jumped up happily and clapped her hands repeatedly.

"This time, I'll play the father, and you'll play the daughter."

A smile of scheming triumph appeared on Lu Chen's face.

"You're the father, and I'm the daughter?"

Luo Li bit her finger, always feeling that something was wrong.

"That's right. We'll play it this way this time. Next time, you can be the mother and I'll be the son. It's all the same."

Lu Chen nodded repeatedly.

"Th-then all right. Father, what are we going to do?"

Luo Li hesitated for a long while before finally nodding.

"Heh heh heh. Since I'm your father, and I've raised you through hardships, shouldn't you show some filial piety? For example, you could wash your father's feet or something."

At that moment, Lu Chen and Luo Li were beside a stream within the Duke of Zhenguo's residence.

The stream burbled softly. Lu Chen glanced at it, then spoke with a cheerful smile.

"What? Wash your feet? No, no! Usually, Father washes Luo Li's feet. How did it become Luo Li washing Father's feet here?"

Luo Li shook her head repeatedly as she spoke.

At that moment, an instinctive voice kept speaking to her from within her mind.

Reject him. You can't wash his feet.

Reject him. You absolutely have to reject him.

Facing that instinctive voice, Luo Li refused with exceptional decisiveness.

"Huh?"

Lu Chen was stunned when he heard this.

He had never imagined that the dignified Duke of Zhenguo was such a doting father. Did he have no servants to use? He actually washed his daughter's feet himself?

This doting-father habit was really getting in the way.

Lu Chen gritted his teeth.

It seemed Imperial Father had given Duke of Zhenguo too few tasks. When he returned today, he would suggest that Imperial Father send Duke of Zhenguo straight out to guard the frontier.

A dignified Duke of Zhenguo spending every day in the imperial capital—what kind of sense did that make?

"Little Sister Luo Li, how about this? You wash my feet, and from now on, whenever you want to eat something, just tell Brother Lu Chen. Lu Chen will make it for you."

Since trickery had failed, Lu Chen could only change tactics.

He sighed and used the same old trick, tempting this little glutton with food.

"Whatever I want to eat?"

Little Luo Li's eyes lit up when she heard this. She couldn't help patting her thigh.

"Candied hawthorn, glutinous rice balls, cotton candy, French fries, and things like that. Can I eat whatever I want?"

"That's right. Not only that, I'll also make you the super-delicious Little Bear Biscuits Brother Lu Chen just invented a few days ago!"

"Yay! Brother Lu Chen, Luo Li will wash your feet."

Upon hearing this, Luo Li couldn't help clapping her hands repeatedly, a delighted look appearing on her face. She failed to notice the violent emotional fluctuations of the instinctive voice in her mind.

Don't agree! Reject him, reject him!

Ahhhhh! Luo Li, Luo Li, in your previous life, you were tricked to death because of food. And in this life, you've sold yourself out over food again, even going so far as to do something this shameful. Why do you love eating so much?
