"Then I'll leave it to you, Lin Chuan. As for Bulma..."
Before Son Goku could finish his sentence, he was met with a murderous glare from Bulma, which immediately choked the rest of his words back into his throat.
Cold sweat broke out on Son Goku's forehead. He didn't say anything else, choosing instead to change the subject: "Since everyone is ready, let's go. I'll lead the way..."
As he spoke, Son Goku picked up Son Gohan, comforted him with a few words, then hovered into the air and flew straight up.
His execution of the Flight Technique was indeed not very polished; Son Goku's proficiency in this area was, at this moment, truly nothing to write home about.
"Tch! He hasn't even mastered the most basic method of flight? This kid Kakarot is truly pathetic..." Raditz grumbled, then leaped up to follow alongside Son Goku.
Once they were moving, Mr. Popo signaled to Krillin and Master Roshi before maneuvering the Flying Magic Carpet to catch up.
Whether it was due to the weight limit or something else, Mr. Popo's ascent was very slow, far slower even than Son Goku's clumsy Flight Technique.
Seeing that they had all taken off, Lin Chuan's expression tightened as he looked at Bulma: "Are you ready?"
Upon hearing Lin Chuan's question, Bulma's cheeks flushed slightly.
She had been so bold and uninhibited in her words earlier, but now that she was actually about to be carried, she couldn't help but feel shy.
After all, men and women were different, and they weren't exactly familiar with one another.
Hearing her give a soft "mm," Lin Chuan reached out and swept her up into a bridal carry.
As her warm, soft body came into his arms, the first thing he felt was a wonderful sensation. This experience, unlike anything he had known before, made Lin Chuan's heart tremble.
In this life, Lin Chuan hadn't seen a single woman until he met Bulma today!
In his past life, he had seen plenty of things, but he had never gone beyond holding hands or putting an arm around someone's shoulder.
Now that Bulma was in his arms, he realized that he hadn't known what he was missing—this woman had such a curvaceous figure.
Not only did she have a devilish body, but she also radiated an incredibly alluring fragrance that made one want to linger forever after catching a single whiff.
It was damn hard to imagine why that guy Yamcha, having such a top-tier woman like Bulma, didn't cherish her properly.
If it were him, he would hold her in the palm of his hand and protect her for a lifetime, terrified that someone else might snatch her away.
Lin Chuan was stunned.
Bulma was in the same state.
She hadn't expected Lin Chuan to pick her up so decisively. She felt lightheaded, and a strange sensation swept through her heart, throwing her mind into chaos.
The masculine scent rushing toward her, that intense male aura, and the heat of their physical contact made her feel as though she were running a fever.
Lin Chuan stood frozen in place for more than ten seconds. Fortunately, thanks to a reminder from Bora, he finally snapped back to reality.
He immediately locked eyes with Bulma again, causing her face to turn even redder.
Lin Chuan offered a slightly awkward smile, signaling his apology for spacing out.
"Remember not to move around. I'm going to make a dash for it in one go and get you to Kami's Lookout first."
As he finished speaking, Lin Chuan slowly rose to his feet.
With the Flight Technique activated, it took only a few short seconds before Lin Chuan and Bulma were nowhere to be seen from the ground.
Less than a minute later.
Above Kami's Lookout.
A blur shot up at high speed from below the Lookout, finally landing steadily in the center of the platform.
It was none other than Lin Chuan, arriving with Bulma in his arms!
The speed was so immense that it surpassed everyone else, and this was merely Lin Chuan exerting a casual burst of power.
The vast and magnificent Kami's Lookout was filled with a sacred and majestic aura.
Invisibly, it exerted an incredibly intense pressure.
Of course, once one's strength reaches a certain level, this kind of oppression can be ignored.
It looks exactly like it did in my memories... I have to say, this place where Kami lives is just like a bowl magnified countless times and frozen in the sky... what a bizarre sense of design... Looking around, the environment gradually aligned with the memories in his mind, and Lin Chuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Sensing the ki, Lin Chuan looked ahead and first spotted someone standing there, motionless.
The other party was looking at him as well.
It was a large, portly man with an afro-like hairstyle.
Who else could it be but Yajirobe, known as the "Meat-Armor Yasuo"?
Just like in the original story, he had been forcefully summoned up here by Kami Piccolo to train.
As their eyes met, Lin Chuan smiled slightly, not paying him much mind, and looked past him.
Kami Piccolo was inside the temple.
Lin Chuan's attention was entirely on Kami, and at this moment, he still hadn't realized he needed to put Bulma down.
As for Bulma, her mind was still reeling from the high-speed flight, leaving her unable to regain her composure.
Coming back to her senses, the first thing she saw was Kami's Lookout. She didn't even realize she was still being held, and she couldn't help but exclaim in her heart, So this... is Kami's Lookout? It feels completely different from what I imagined.
Bulma, in Lin Chuan's arms, looked around at her surroundings with curiosity, her face full of disbelief.
In truth, she had wanted to study the existence of Kami's Lookout many years ago, but she had never had the opportunity.
This time, she had finally gotten her wish.
Thinking of this, Bulma shifted her body, and only in the next second did she feel Lin Chuan's grip tighten. Her mind went blank...
Wait!! She was still in Lin Chuan's arms?!
Bulma suddenly snapped back to reality and jerked her head up, her eyes meeting Lin Chuan's gaze.
"You... you you you!! Put me down right now!!" Bulma's face flushed red. At a loss for what to do, she covered her face with her hands, terrified that he would see her looking so embarrassed.
Recalling the scene during their flight, she realized she had clung to Lin Chuan for protection because of the sheer speed.
Lin Chuan brought it up, teasing her, "When we were flying just now, I wonder who it was that held onto me so tightly, shouting at me not to let go."
The mockery was obvious, and Bulma's face turned even redder.
Seeing this, Lin Chuan decided not to tease her any further and, albeit reluctantly, set her down.
There would be plenty of time in the future.
If he pushed it too far, it would be counterproductive.
Once free from Lin Chuan's embrace, Bulma stood to the side and took a few breaths, then shot Lin Chuan a glare with her bright, sparkling eyes.
The meaning was clear: the reason she had been so nervous and scared before was all because Lin Chuan had been flying too fast!
At this, Lin Chuan smiled even more brightly.
He had to admit, Bulma was actually quite cute.
Meanwhile, at the entrance to Kami's Lookout.
Yajirobe was drenched in sweat, feeling incredibly guilty and nervous.
Is that the Saiyan... What a truly terrifying aura... Even from this far away, I can feel how dangerous he is. It's like he could swallow me whole.
Yajirobe's instincts filled him with dread toward Lin Chuan.
He found it strange—how could that woman, Bulma, not be afraid when facing someone like him?
