Cuihua's Personal Expert

At the center of the Solar System, inside the Sun.

In the violent core of the solar nuclear fusion, the temperature was outrageously high. Su Changqing's figure appeared out of thin air without warning, and he sat cross-legged once again on the churning sunspots.

The moment he sat down, the aura around his body rapidly retracted.

His heartbeat, his breathing, and even the fluctuations in the surrounding space dropped to their lowest point in an instant, entering a state of near-total extinction.

The very next moment after he closed his eyes.

An invisible, intangible, yet immensely vast gaze projected directly from the distant depths of the universe.

This gaze was extremely cold, carrying a majesty that scrutinized everything. It slowly swept across the entire Milky Way, across Earth, and across this burning Sun.

Deep within the solar core, Su Changqing maintained his state of extinction, his consciousness retracted to its deepest point.

Fortunately, Su Changqing's current state was sufficiently concealed.

As the primordial ancestor of the Starry Sky Behemoth and a supreme existence at the level of a Void True God, he was determined to remain hidden. Even the mental sweep of Mountain Sitting Guest could not pierce his disguise in such a short time.

The vast gaze swept back and forth across the Milky Way twice, seemingly finding no major hidden dangers that could threaten the growth of the Earth lineage.

A moment later.

The invisible pressure gradually receded, and the Milky Way returned to its usual calm.

Su Changqing remained with his eyes closed, sitting cross-legged in the magma of the solar core, yet a faint smile slowly curled at the corners of his mouth.

He knew exactly who the owner of that gaze was.

It seems that using the method of reversing time to pull back that piece of trash earlier was still too risky.

Su Changqing pondered inwardly.

After experiencing the betrayal of his past life, this once-lofty God King had become exceptionally sensitive and suspicious, his every action filled with caution.

The insignificant bit of uncontrolled fluctuation from earlier had actually triggered an investigation from this great power across an endless distance.

Indeed, caution was the right path.

Creating a black glove to handle matters was always better than risking exposure by stepping out directly.

At this moment, on the edge of the Sixth Satellite City, outside a logistics warehouse of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

"Hurry up and move! Stop dawdling! If this batch of high-density alloy armor isn't delivered to the front lines today, don't expect to get a single cent!"

A logistics supervisor with a protruding belly waved his clipboard and barked loudly.

Among the crowd, a young man with a head of blonde hair gritted his teeth. He lifted a massive metal crate weighing two or three hundred pounds with both hands and shuffled toward the warehouse step by step.

This young man was none other than Dai Mubai, one of the contemporary Shrek Seven Devils and the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire.

Having arrived in this high-dimensional world only a few days ago, the arrogance Dai Mubai once possessed had been completely worn away.

The Wilderness Zone was too dangerous; trying to survive there alone was suicide!

And within the city, everything cost money!

Without money, he couldn't even drink a mouthful of clean water.

As a dignified prince, in order to fill his stomach and rent a room, he had to set aside all his dignity and work odd jobs in the martial arts hall's logistics department.

Moving heavy objects, cleaning floors.

"Thud."

Dai Mubai set the heavy metal crate on the ground and wiped the hot sweat from his forehead.

He panted heavily, feeling his arms trembling slightly.

The gravity here was naturally high, and these metal objects had an astonishing density. Even with his level-37 soul power as a foundation, he was exhausted after a full day of manual labor.

Once I get settled and save enough money to buy Gene Serum, I will become stronger! This isn't just labor; it's the path to strength! The road to becoming stronger is always difficult and bumpy!

Dai Mubai comforted himself this way.

Just as he was about to turn and move the next crate, a sudden commotion erupted from the direction of the martial arts hall's main lobby.

"Look, the headquarters sent a vehicle over!"

"I heard our satellite city produced a talented Spirit Master. The higher-ups sent a private car to pick her up. I'm so envious. Why don't I have the talent of a Spirit Master?"

Several laborers dropped their work and craned their necks to watch the spectacle. Dai Mubai couldn't help but stop in his tracks and look in the direction of the crowd.

In front of the spacious main entrance of the martial arts hall, a luxuriously styled, stretched hover-bus was parked.

A young girl stepped down from the bus.

She seemed unaccustomed to such a grand reception, her hands nervously intertwined as she kept her head slightly lowered.

However, because she had used the high-grade nutrient solution provided by the martial arts hall, the girl's previously sallow and rough skin had become fair and radiant, and her entire person glowed with a unique brilliance.

Dai Mubai glanced at her casually and was about to look away, but his body suddenly stiffened.

He rubbed his eyes hard, staring fixedly at the girl who was surrounded by the crowd like stars around the moon.

"How is this possible..."

Dai Mubai's heart surged with turbulent waves, his face filled with disbelief.

That face, that silhouette.

Although her attire had changed, her temperament had shifted, and her skin had improved, Dai Mubai recognized her at a single glance.

It was Cuihua!

Ma Hongjun's former village girl girlfriend!

Back when Dai Mubai used to visit the villages around Soto City to find Ma Hongjun, he had met Cuihua a few times.

At that time, Cuihua wore tattered rags, her face was covered in grime, and she was nothing more than a bottom-tier country girl who even had to resort to that kind of business to subsidize her family's expenses because they had no money!

Yet now, this country girl was riding in a luxury car, wearing expensive clothes, and in the blink of an eye, she had become someone he couldn't even "afford to climb high" to reach?!

Was she the one those people were talking about, the one who had awakened the talent of a Spirit Master?!

Dai Mubai's mood was complex to the extreme.

There was shock, jealousy, and a trace of wild joy at finding a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation.

Regardless of everything, they were both from the Douluo Continent. In this high-dimensional world where they were strangers in a strange land and surrounded by danger, the identity of being fellow countrymen was the best breakthrough point.

Dai Mubai took a deep breath, steeled his nerves, and quietly slipped out through the side door.

Half an hour later.

In a private room of an elegant café within the satellite city.

Dai Mubai sat somewhat awkwardly on the soft leather sofa, looking at Cuihua sitting opposite him, and for a moment, he didn't know how to start.

Cuihua held a cup of hot milk, sipping it in small mouthfuls, her expression equally nervous.

When Dai Mubai had flagged down her car on the side of the road earlier, it had truly given her a fright.

Only after recognizing him as that blond young master from Shrek Academy did she muster the courage to have the driver stop the car and find an excuse to come out and meet him alone.

"Dai... Young Master Dai."

Cuihua set down her cup and called out somewhat timidly.

Hearing this form of address, a trace of bitter self-mockery flashed across Dai Mubai's face.

"Here, there is no such thing as Young Master Dai anymore."

Dai Mubai sighed, looked directly at Cuihua, and his tone became very sincere.

"Cuihua, let's not beat around the bush."

"This world is too dangerous. Since we come from the same place, we should help each other out."

"Although you are valued by the martial arts hall now, you have no combat experience after all. If you encounter danger, or if someone gets jealous of your talent and strikes in the shadows, you won't be able to handle it at all."

Dai Mubai leaned forward slightly, the oppressive aura of a prince washing over her.

"Let's form an alliance."

"Before your strength has fully grown, I will act as your personal bodyguard and be responsible for protecting your safety."

"In exchange, you need to use your privileges at the martial arts hall to help me secure some basic cultivation resources, as well as Gene Serum that can quickly improve my strength."

As he said these words, Dai Mubai felt his cheeks burning.

He, a dignified prince of the Star Luo Empire and the future heir to the throne, was now actually having to humble himself to act as a bodyguard for a village girl.

If this were on the Douluo Continent, it would have been more painful than killing him.

But the situation was stronger than the man.

In this high-dimensional world where any random martial artist could crush him to death, in order to survive and become stronger, he had no choice but to cast aside his noble status and bow his head.

Cuihua looked at the noble young master who had once been so high and mighty, and her own heart was a mix of emotions.

Although she lacked experience, she wasn't stupid.

In this strange world, the people at the martial arts hall were only good to her because they valued her talent. She truly needed someone she knew the background of, and who possessed a certain level of combat power, to help her by her side.

"Okay."

Cuihua hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded heavily.

"I agree. Tomorrow, I will go tell my master to let you join the martial arts hall's training class."
