Explaining Ju Zi's Future

Luo Can composed himself and cast the hook back into the lake. At the same time, he spoke to the still-dazed Ju Zi. "Don't be nervous. I mean you no harm. This is Fate Defying Valley, and I'm its master, Luo Can."

"Fate Defying Valley? Luo Can?" Ju Zi frowned and searched her memories, but found no information whatsoever about either name.

Suppressing her unease, she asked, "Did you bring me here?"

"Yes." Luo Can nodded and raised the fishing rod in his hand. "To tell you the truth, I fished you out of this lake."

"???" Ju Zi's face was full of question marks. She was completely dumbfounded.

Fished out? Could a person be fished out of a lake?

Luo Can did not beat around the bush and continued explaining, "I have a special ability. From the River of Time on Douluo Continent, I can fish out people and Spirit Beasts from the past and future, as well as all kinds of rare treasures, and use them for myself. You aren't the first person I've fished up."

He paused before adding, "Besides, you're no longer in your original era. This is Douluo Continent from ten thousand years ago."

"What!" Ju Zi's expression changed instantly. She rushed before Luo Can in a few steps. "You're lying to me, aren't you? This is impossible!"

Just then, the fishing line on the lake suddenly sank. Luo Can lightly lifted his wrist, and a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bone glowing faintly broke through the water and landed steadily in his hand.

"There, see?" Luo Can said, weighing the Spirit Bone in his hand.

Having witnessed such an unbelievable scene with her own eyes, Ju Zi instead calmed down. What she was thinking now was how she could establish herself on Douluo Continent ten thousand years in the past.

"Ju Zi, right?" Luo Can suddenly called her by name.

Ju Zi abruptly looked up, her eyes filled with astonishment. "You know me?"

"Mhm." Luo Can nodded. "Put it this way: I roughly know what you'll experience in this life. Want to hear it?"

His words immediately stirred Ju Zi's curiosity. She had only recently entered the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy and had yet to meet Huo Yuhao. Her heart held only the desire to avenge her parents, and she had not yet considered marrying Xu Tianran for greater power.

She leaned closer and asked curiously, "What is my future like? Did I avenge my parents?"

Luo Can shook his head. "No. Later, you fell in love with someone you shouldn't have loved. Just when you were about to get your revenge, he stopped you, and you gave up on revenge as well. After that, your plan to unify the continent, which you had plotted for half your life, was completely ruined because of God King Tang's interference."

"Impossible!!" Ju Zi's expression changed at once, her face full of disbelief.

The hatred in her heart was greater than the heavens. How could she possibly fall in love with someone who stopped her from taking revenge?

Luo Can did not hide anything after that and told her the entirety of her life story.

How she met Huo Yuhao, how she loved him without being loved in return, how she used soul tool technology to conceive his child, how she used Xu Tianran to enter military and political circles, how she conspired with Huo Yuhao to eliminate Xu Tianran and seize control of the Sun Moon Empire in one stroke, how she led her army in a triumphant advance, and how, just as she was about to launch the final battle against the Star Luo Empire, that same man threatened her with the lives of a million soldiers and her son, forcing her to withdraw.

He even explained clearly how Tang San personally stepped in at the end to warn her and force her to spit back out the territory she had swallowed.

When Luo Can finished, Ju Zi stood where she was, with only a bitter smile remaining on her face.

"So this is how tragically I lived my life."

Seeing how distraught she was, Luo Can comforted her. "But things are different now. You've escaped that era and come to ten thousand years in the past. You have a chance to start over completely."

Those words instantly made Ju Zi's dim eyes light up again.

That was right! What she could not accomplish ten thousand years later might not be impossible ten thousand years in the past!

Destroying Star Luo, unifying the continent, ending the chaotic age, and ensuring her parents' tragedy would never happen again—perhaps she could accomplish all of it!

She suddenly looked up at Luo Can. "If I want to unify the continent, can you help me?"

This man before her could pull her from ten thousand years in the future into the distant past. He could casually fish out a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bone. He definitely had more hidden cards in his hand. As long as she could obtain his help, perhaps her ideals could be realized.

"I can." Luo Can nodded, but he also named his condition. "However, you must join my faction and pledge loyalty to me."

Ju Zi barely hesitated before immediately nodding. "Alright! I'll join!"

Just then, a teasing voice came from nearby. "Let me see, our great Pavilion Master Luo is once again fooling some young girl. This little woman congratulates you, Pavilion Master, on gaining another beauty."

The smile on Luo Can's face instantly froze.

When he turned around, he saw Qian Renxue leaning against a Dragon Blood Tree not far away, wearing a smile that was not quite a smile. It was obvious that he was about to be in trouble.

"And this is?" Ju Zi asked curiously, examining Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue was also sizing Ju Zi up from head to toe.

Great figure, outstanding temperament, and especially that impressive chest—she was not inferior to Qian Renxue in the slightest. Moreover, Qian Renxue had listened from the side for quite some time and knew that this woman had brains, methods, and ambition. She posed an enormous threat to both Luo Can and herself!

"I'm Qian Renxue. How should I address you, little sister?" Qian Renxue asked with a proper smile as she slowly walked over.

"My name is Ju Zi." Ju Zi circled around Qian Renxue, her eyes full of curiosity. "Are you the Angel God Qian Renxue? You don't look as evil as the legends say."

"Don't compare me to that idiot." Qian Renxue immediately retorted, raising her chin slightly. "I am Dark Angel Qian Renxue. I have nothing to do with that idiot."

After speaking, she recalled Ju Zi's earlier words and hurriedly asked, "Right, how do people in your future era evaluate that other me?"

Ju Zi thought for a moment before answering honestly, "An ambitious schemer, one of the main culprits behind the war that swept across the continent, and the Evil Angel God. That is more or less it."

"Good! Good! Good!" Qian Renxue said three times in succession, her eyes filled with mockery.

She could not wait to find out what kind of wonderful reaction her original self would have upon hearing these evaluations from the future.

[Ding! This Fishing session has ended. Overall evaluation: Excellent. Reward: 10000 Points]

[Points: 15500]

Just then, Luo Can's Fishing time happened to end. He put away his rod and looked at the two women. "From now on, we share common enemies, so I hope you two can get along well and not create conflicts."

Ju Zi was straightforward and immediately nodded. "No problem."

Qian Renxue cast Luo Can a sidelong glance and did not voice any objection. She simply stepped forward and grabbed Ju Zi's arm. "Little sister, come with me into the house. Tell me properly about all the interesting things that happened over the next ten thousand years."

As she spoke, she pulled Ju Zi toward the Wooden House, leaving Luo Can alone by the lake to awkwardly rub his nose.
