Third Brother, Call Me Brother-in-Law

Luo Feng leaped out of the nutrient tank in fragment 80389081 of the Primordial Secret Realm.

Watching the nutrient fluid, now less than a third remaining, Babata flew around in agitation.

"God, what did I miss? How did I not notice anything? Is this still the universe I know?"

Luo Feng listened to the voice in his head without surprise. Over these past few months on the road, from initial contempt to doubt, and finally to shock, Babata kept saying her chip was about to burn out.

"Do you know what this is! Double lifespan, double law affinity, double strength! If it were a race, how many geniuses could this churn out!"

"It's not that easy. Without tenacious willpower, you can't complete those later moves!"

"Right, willpower! And Earth—that little broken planet has so many damn problems. No wonder that kid was being so secretive, not letting anyone speak!"

Babata covered her face with both hands, slumped down in front of Luo Feng, then suddenly let out a silly laugh, hopping onto his shoulder.

"Luo Feng, Luo Feng, you absolutely must recruit him into Falling Ink Star! Hurry, act fast! A long night means many dreams!"

"I know, I know. But what do you have to attract him?"

Luo Feng helplessly shooed Babata away from his ear. If he could have hidden it from her, he really wouldn't have let her know.

"You're the master of Falling Ink Star now. Search the material zone more—there's always something suitable!"

Luo Feng rolled his eyes at the little demon. The best thing would be secret techniques, but unfortunately, they couldn't be applied for external use.

Nine Star Bay had now become four estates. Ever since she acknowledged the sister, Xu Xin waved her hand generously, and Chen Qing's ideal never came to fruition before his wandering days ended.

Today, taking advantage of both Luo Feng and his wife having free time, they came under the guise of congratulating Xu Xin.

The two women flanked Chen Qing on either side. Just as they reached the entrance, they saw a perfect couple standing in the courtyard.

Chen Qing had a good impression of Luo Feng, but they really weren't familiar. Luo Feng also froze when he saw Jiang Fang and Yao Rao.

The three women, like cats that had stolen fish, all burst out laughing. Chen Qing was helpless, and the two men could only stare at each other.

"Come on, Third Brother, call me brother-in-law first!"

"Pfft!"

"Hiss!"

Xu Xin, who had just composed herself, couldn't hold it in. Yao Rao and Jiang Fang blushed as they pinched Chen Qing's waist and twisted 180 degrees!

Luo Feng shook his head with a wry smile. "Let's just keep our own terms. I really didn't expect this!"

Knowing how much Luo Feng respected his teacher, this was genuinely awkward.

"Alright, you two chat. We sisters have some private words to say!"

Jiang Fang, having once been Luo Feng's teacher, felt awkward staying here herself. After speaking, she pulled the breathless Xu Xin back inside.

Watching the women leave, Luo Feng looked seriously at Chen Qing. "Chen Qing, thank you!"

Chen Qing paused, then quickly caught on.

"Because of sister-in-law?"

"Mm. I never thought she could go this far. But I can feel that when she talks about her sister, she's happier inside!"

"Maybe it's shared misery. Actually, Sister Fang and the others have their own pressures too. Otherwise, I wouldn't have stirred up trouble."

Chen Qing didn't cultivate the Ruthless Path. Though Jiang Fang and Yao Rao never said it, he saw their efforts clearly.

If not for the Creation Green Lotus, he wouldn't have had a way either. After all, talent was innate.

"If outsiders heard this, they'd be green with envy!"

Unable to hold back, Babata finally jumped out, her little wings fluttering nonstop.

"Forget all that lovey-dovey stuff. Let me introduce myself first. I'm Babata, the guardian of Falling Ink Star, Earth's guide!

Of you four brothers, you're the only one who hasn't joined. Are you going to join too? Can't be the exception."

She even put on a teary-eyed look. Luo Feng couldn't stand watching—wasn't she proud before? She wasn't even pretending anymore!

"Babata, since when were you this easygoing?"

"Get lost! It's all for you. Can you afford to delay something this big?"

Babata waved her hand impatiently, her eyes fixed on Chen Qing without moving!

Chen Qing just shook his head slightly. Babata went limp all over. Though she had prepared herself mentally, she still couldn't help feeling heartbroken.

Watching Babata's dejected state, Chen Qing found it amusing. How could an AI have so much drama!

"Falling Ink Star will always be Hu Yanbo's Falling Ink Star. You need to have faith in Third Brother. Earth is beyond your grasp."

But Babata couldn't hear any of it. She just lay there motionless.

"Don't worry, ignore her. I heard you're going after the slave traders. Need any help?"

Luo Feng knew Babata's nature well enough—she'd be bouncing around again soon.

"No need. Just focus on being a living Buddha. As for company intel, sister-in-law is much more convenient than you!"

Luo Feng nodded. Big Brother and Second Brother were together too. With them watching over things, he didn't need to worry.

In the Dark Universe, a triangular E-grade spacecraft was heading toward the Cuilang Star Sector.

Chen Qing sat alone in the cultivation room of the spaceship, feeling the power within his body.

For now, Sister Fang and Yao Rao had fifth-tier equipment, so there shouldn't be much of a problem. He didn't need to worry about Hong and Thor either.

Chen Qing sensed the Green Lotus within his Origin Core. In a hundred years, it would complete its energy accumulation, enough for him to comprehend the laws. At that point, he would focus on breaking through to World Lord, then shift his attention to the laws. The eight basic laws were manageable—he could buy relevant secret techniques on the outside.

As for space-time, he would have to enter the battlefield. As a wild World Lord like himself, the requirements shouldn't be too high. As long as he was careful, it wouldn't be hard to secure a free status.

Then he would find a place to lie low, train the Creation Domain to the sixth layer, reach 30,000 times the gene level, and with the eight lower laws, break through to Immortal. His divine body's strength would be no less than that of an ordinary Universe Master.

With the Creation Domain and Quake Seal, they could substitute for supreme treasures. In the Primal Universe, there would be nothing left for him to fear!

As for Hong and Thor, with the Locke Divine Water, they wouldn't waste too much time either. By then, it would be about time for them to enter the battlefield.

Chen Qing laid out his plan, and his mood lightened. Everything was ready—only the Locke Divine Water was missing!

In Field City on Black Dragon Mountain Island, Red Rock was reporting the progress of the matter to the World Lord-level clan elder.

"Clan elder, do we really need to give up this much ground?"

"Little Red Rock, too much will choke you. We only did this to suppress the Klin Family in the first place.

Although Pinghai Company took seventy percent, our contribution wasn't much. We only need to handle management and risk, while the Virtual Universe Company handles the technology.

And they only own half—the natives have the right to buy it back at market price. It's not that much more than what we have."

This cooperation, though Pinghai Company only lent its name, still brought considerable profit to the Field Family.

More importantly, it opened a springboard to the upper echelons and expanded living space for the clan.

It just so happened that Xu Xin had entered the Apocalypse Secret Realm and needed greater merits. Combined with coordinating Chen Qing and the others' training, this operation came about.

The luckiest ones were the natives. Who would have thought that Luo Feng and his group disliked slaves? And they also had to put on a show for the company.

"So we just need to gather intelligence and follow behind to help Pinghai Company take over the assets.

Go directly to the Cuilang Star Sector and stand by. From now on, you'll be the liaison with Chen Qing. The company side has dedicated personnel handling it!"
