"What wish do you want, exactly? Tell me, and perhaps I can make it come true for you," Luo Tian asked with a smile.
"No! I don't want to say!" Bulma pouted and shook her head vigorously.
My wish is for you to fall in love with me and never leave my side. Can you do that?
However, Bulma only kept such thoughts hidden in her heart.
If she said it out loud... what if the person Luo Tian liked was her sister?
Right, she wondered if her sister liked him.
If her sister liked him, would it be appropriate for her, as the younger sister, to compete with her own sibling for a man?
How conflicted she felt!
The search for the Dragon Balls had come to an end.
In the years that followed, much had happened, from the World Martial Arts Tournament to Little Goku's battle against the Red Ribbon Army, then to King Piccolo, and finally to Son Goku growing into an adult and marrying Chi-Chi at the tournament.
These events were almost identical to the Dragon Ball storyline Luo Tian was familiar with.
The only difference was that Yamcha did not live at Bulma's house, and naturally, they had no romantic involvement.
The two of them could only be considered the most ordinary of friends.
However, there was one thing Luo Tian knew.
That was the fact that Yamcha had always harbored a secret crush on Bulma.
But Bulma had absolutely no interest in Yamcha.
Furthermore, regarding the appearance of Mercenary Tao or King Piccolo, Luo Tian had not intervened.
Son Goku was capable of handling them, so there was simply no need for Luo Tian to step in.
Time flew like an arrow.
After defeating the reincarnated King Piccolo, Goku had moved to Mount Paozu to live with Chi-Chi.
Five years had passed since then.
During these years, Luo Tian had cultivated his Angel Power to the peak of the second level of the first stage.
He was only one step away from the third level.
"Luo Tian, Master Roshi just called and said we should go over and visit him," Bulma said to Luo Tian.
"Alright, it is time to go out and move around. These past few years... I feel like my strength has been improving quite slowly," Luo Tian sighed.
"You have the nerve to say that... Son Goku is constantly training, while you, on the other hand, only know how to eat and drink all day," Bulma rolled her eyes. "Do you even have any strength? I've never even seen you participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament."
"I am very powerful; they are just too weak," Luo Tian shook his head. "Think of it like a game. I'm at level 100 right now. Do you know what level Son Goku is?"
"What level?" Bulma asked.
"At most, level 10," Luo Tian mused.
Bulma: "..."
"But then again, I remember my sister saying that when you saved her in the past, you defeated those two thugs with ease," Bulma said thoughtfully.
"Do you know how impressive I am now?" Luo Tian smiled.
"I don't! I only know you're very good at bragging," Bulma huffed. "Let's go. Goku said he's going to Master Roshi's place today, too."
"Mm, let's go," Luo Tian nodded.
"By the way, my sister hasn't been willing to come back from outer space for years. It's been a long time since I've seen her," Bulma said, not knowing what else to say.
"Perhaps she has grown accustomed to the life of traveling through outer space," Luo Tian said.
"Fine, whatever she wants," Bulma smiled.
"Whoosh!"
Immediately, Bulma piloted the jet helicopter, flying rapidly toward the small island where Master Roshi lived.
The helicopter landed on the island.
"Long time no see," Bulma pushed open the door.
"Ah... it's Miss Bulma, and Luo Tian," Krillin greeted them hurriedly.
"Oh my, it really has been a long time," Master Roshi nodded. "You two are quite heartless! I've called you several times asking you to come over and hang out, but you didn't show up once."
Having said that, Master Roshi leaned in close to Bulma's ear.
"So? Have you confessed to Luo Tian yet?" Master Roshi asked.
Bulma rolled her eyes.
Not a chance!
She was still waiting for Luo Tian to confess to her.
"You... you're nearly 30 this year, aren't you?" Master Roshi sighed. "Look at Goku, he's already married."
"Bam!"
Bulma punched Master Roshi right on the forehead.
"Mind your own business!" Bulma huffed, shouting, "You are not allowed to discuss my age! I will always be an 18-year-old girl!"
Master Roshi wiped away sweat.
"What are you all talking about?" Luo Tian asked with a smile.
"Nothing, nothing at all..." Master Roshi shook his head, hurriedly denying his previous words.
Luo Tian just chuckled, not saying anything more.
As for Bulma's feelings toward him, Luo Tian knew them clearly.
As an Angel, if he couldn't even see through something like that, then this Angel halo would be of no use at all.
It was just that Luo Tian hadn't yet decided whether he wanted to be with Bulma.
After all, Bulma wasn't the only girl in his dreams!
"By the way, where is Launch? Why isn't she at home?" Bulma asked.
"She eloped with Tien Shinhan five years ago," Krillin replied.
Bulma: "..."
Eloped?
That Launch...
She actually eloped with Tien Shinhan.
"Hey, hey..."
Just then, a voice came from outside.
"It's Goku's voice!" Krillin said, his face full of excitement.
"Goku is here," Bulma smiled.
Afterward, Luo Tian and the others opened the door and went outside.
"Hello everyone, long time no see." Son Goku waved at Luo Tian and the others, holding a small child in his arms.
A child with a tail.
"Goku? It really has been a long time." Bulma smiled.
Luo Tian nodded gently toward Son Goku.
"Goku! I've really missed you. You guy, why didn't you keep in touch with us?" Krillin said, annoyed.
"Hahaha." Son Goku laughed.
"Goku, I wanted to ask just now... who is this child..." Bulma couldn't hold back anymore and asked.
"Yeah, are you babysitting for someone else?" Krillin also asked.
"Ah, this is my son," Son Goku smiled slightly.
Bulma, Krillin, and Master Roshi were instantly stunned.
Son Goku has a son?
Isn't that just too shocking?
"Is it that strange?" Son Goku laughed, "Hey, Gohan, say hello to everyone."
As he spoke, Son Goku set Son Gohan down.
"Hello everyone, my name is Son Gohan, and I'm 4 years old this year," Son Gohan introduced himself.
"Gohan? That's the same name as your late grandfather," Master Roshi mused.
"Yeah," Son Goku nodded.
"You really gave me a scare, I never expected you to bring your son along," Master Roshi sighed, then whispered to Bulma, "Bulma, aren't you going to hurry up? Haven't you noticed that after all these years, Luo Tian doesn't seem to have aged a single bit..."
Bulma was slightly taken aback.
"On the contrary, I don't mean to be rude, but I've noticed a hint of a wrinkle at the corner of your eye," Master Roshi said. "If you don't hurry up, you'll end up a haggard old woman once you reach a certain age."
Bulma glared at him.
However, after thinking carefully about Master Roshi's words, Bulma felt he wasn't wrong.
It was true; so many years had passed, and Luo Tian's appearance hadn't changed in the slightest.
I met Luo Tian when I was six years old.
Luo Tian said he was already 20 back then...
And now, nearly 20 more years have passed.
Luo Tian should be 40 by now, right?
Can a 40-year-old man really show no signs of aging at all?
I really should hurry up.
Mm, I'll confess my feelings to Luo Tian when I get home today.
Even that guy Son Goku has a son already.
Truly, time is a blade, and every stroke hastens one's age.
"Huh? A tail?" Bulma noticed the tail behind Son Gohan at this moment.
"Haha, yeah, he looks exactly like I did back then, right?" Son Goku laughed.
"Will this child have any special changes?" Bulma felt a tightness in her chest and asked hurriedly.
"Have there been any?" Krillin also asked nervously.
"Special changes? What do you mean?" Son Goku didn't understand.
"For example... the night of the full moon or something like that." Master Roshi offered a hint.
"The night of the full moon? Uh... we go to sleep very early." Son Goku shook his head and asked, puzzled, "Why do you ask?"
"It's nothing... early to bed and early to rise, good habit, good habit." Master Roshi laughed.
"Goku, is this kid as strong as you?" Krillin asked.
"Maybe?" Son Goku nodded. "I think he should have great potential. I've tried to train Gohan, but Chi-Chi gets very angry."
"Why?" Krillin expressed his confusion. "Isn't that a pity?"
"I think it's a pity too, but Chi-Chi says the world is already at peace, so there's no need to continue training. From now on, it's an era for studying culture," Son Goku said.
"Hahaha, that naughty little girl actually turned into an educational mother." Master Roshi laughed.
"Is that a Dragon Ball embedded in Gohan's hat?" Bulma noticed the Dragon Ball on Gohan's hat.
"Yes, it's the Four-Star Dragon Ball. It's my grandfather's keepsake. I found it and gave it to Gohan to wear," Son Goku nodded. "Later, I happened to find the Three-Star Dragon Ball and the Six-Star Dragon Ball as well. They are all at home now... seeing these Dragon Balls reminds me of the past."
"Luo Tian, what are you looking at?" Krillin noticed Luo Tian staring at the distant sky and couldn't help but ask.
"There is someone flying in the sky over there. Oh my, I'm afraid trouble is coming," Luo Tian sighed.
Just as Luo Tian's voice fell, Son Goku also suddenly sensed something and immediately turned his head to look at the sky behind him.
"What is it? Is it Tien Shinhan and the others?" Bulma asked.
"I feel an incredibly powerful energy approaching us. What on earth could it be?" Son Goku's face changed color, and cold sweat slid down his cheeks.
"What?" Master Roshi was stunned.
"He's here!" Son Goku looked up at the sky.
Son Gohan gripped his father's trousers tightly.
"Thud!"
The next moment, a long-haired man descended from the sky and landed opposite Luo Tian and the others.
This person wore a strange device on his ear, with a green lens extending from it to cover his eye.
Raditz scanned Luo Tian and the others present.
