Time always slipped away quietly~

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

West City, backyard of the Lin family villa.

Lin Yuan twisted and maneuvered through the air. He accelerated in a straight line, then suddenly arched backward and turned around, diving straight toward the ground.

Just as he was about to "crash" into the ground, Lin Yuan abruptly adjusted his posture, pointing his legs downward with his knees slightly bent.

Then he kicked off the ground with both feet, forcibly canceling out the momentum of his descent.

With a whoosh, Lin Yuan shot off again at a forty-five-degree angle...

He had already figured out the Sky Dance Technique on his own two months ago.

Learning the Sky Dance Technique was not difficult. What was difficult was the quality and speed of flight.

Just now, Lin Yuan had originally wanted to avoid touching the ground and kick off the air directly to offset his falling speed.

Perhaps because he was not skilled enough, or perhaps because he was not strong enough, whenever he dived down from the same height, Lin Yuan still had to touch the ground.

Practicing the Sky Dance Technique with his current battle power of 92 was still extremely strenuous. After half an hour, his entire body was drenched in sweat.

After finishing his Sky Dance Technique practice, Lin Yuan took a shower and changed into casual clothes.

According to his usual schedule, Lin Yuan should have begun gravity training next.

But not today, because he planned to head to Korin Tower tomorrow to train.

Before that, Lin Yuan and Launch had arranged to have a big meal with Bulma and Yamcha.

Their destination was a newly opened mountaintop restaurant that was said to have excellent food.

Lin Yuan walked into the living room, picked up the smartphone from the table, and called Launch.

She had turned blonde and gone out to have fun.

The call connected before long, and noisy shouting came from the other end.

From the sound of it, she seemed to be... at a casino?

"Hey, Lin Yuan. I don't have time for you right now. It's about to start—big! Big! Big!"

"Fuck you and your monkey face! What kind of shitty place is this? Believe me, I'll tear your whole damn building down!"

Launch cursed loudly, completely forgetting that she was still on the phone with Lin Yuan.

The casino staff had no way of dealing with Launch either.

Who could blame them? This lady was ruthless. All they could do was placate her gently.

Lin Yuan was helpless about it as well. Starting two months ago, blonde Launch had picked up this bad habit and gambled away all the money she had stolen.

Still, that stolen money had been ill-gotten to begin with. If she lost it, she lost it!

Now, Launch used the monthly allowance Lin Yuan gave her to gamble.

This was also the one thing Lin Yuan could use to keep blonde Launch somewhat in check.

Seeing that Launch was completely engrossed and not listening to him at all, Lin Yuan had no choice but to use his trump card and said, "Launch! If you come back right now, I'll triple next month's allowance! If you can't hear me, then forget I said anything. Go on and keep playing~"

"What?! Wait for me, I'll be home right away!"

The moment blonde Launch heard that her allowance would be tripled, she immediately promised to come home obediently.

As soon as she returned home, Lin Yuan turned her into her blue-haired self.

Then Lin Yuan called Bulma and told them what time to meet at the mountaintop restaurant.

Launch happily went off to dress up.

Lin Yuan sat on the sofa and poured himself a glass of juice.

As he drank his juice and looked at the clean, tidy house, he could not help but sigh. If a man was going to get married, he should marry someone like Launch!

As a veteran, Lin Yuan had his own standards and expectations when it came to cleanliness and housekeeping.

He had never demanded that Launch do this or that, nor had he required her to clean the house to any particular degree.

Yet every day, Launch still kept the entire house neat and orderly. It was not quite spotless, but it came very close.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan felt somewhat moved. The more he looked at Launch, the prettier she became. The more time he spent with her, the more good qualities he discovered!

He had to marry Launch and make her his wife!!

Lin Yuan secretly made up his mind!

Although Launch was not yet Lin Yuan's wife, he believed it was only a matter of time.

Thinking about marriage, Lin Yuan could not help but remember that he was in the world of Dragon Ball!

He still needed enough strength! Only then could he protect the woman he loved!

As for money, that was what Lin Yuan lacked least right now—unless Earth was destroyed.

Lost in his swirling thoughts, Lanchi had already finished getting ready and came into the living room.

Lin Yuan looked up, and his eyes immediately lit up.

Today, Lanchi wore a purple sweater paired with fitted jeans.

She had put on light makeup that suited her perfectly, and as she walked toward him, a fragrant scent greeted his nose.

Seeing how lovely Lanchi looked, Lin Yuan was in an excellent mood and could not help praising her.

"Wow, Lanchi, you look so beautiful today! Huh? What perfume is that? Let me smell it."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan leaned his head closer.

Lanchi's face instantly turned red with embarrassment. She pressed her small hands against Lin Yuan's forehead and said somewhat flusteredly, "Alright, alright, let's go already! Bulma and the others will get worried if we're late. Besides... don't you do that every day..."

Her voice grew softer and softer, as if she had thought of some embarrassing scene.

Lin Yuan immediately burst out laughing. It was too amusing—too adorable.

Without wasting any more time, the two headed straight for the restaurant.

By the time they arrived at the restaurant entrance, Bulma and the others were already waiting there.

After exchanging greetings, the group went to their reserved table.

It had to be said, the view here was truly nice. Since it was on a mountaintop, they could see the entire splendor of West City.

The moment he sat down, Lin Yuan's attention was caught by the three people at the next table.

Rather than the people themselves, it would be more accurate to say that their hats caught his attention.

Each of them wore a hat bearing an R R emblem.

Two of them also had red armbands tied around their arms, while the other wore a blue armband with the word BLUE written on it.

They were members of the Red Ribbon Army!

And the leader among them was none other than the commander of the Red Ribbon Army's Blue Division—General Blue.

At that moment, the leader also noticed Lin Yuan's group. The instant his gaze swept over Lanchi and Bulma, Blue sprang to his feet. (PS: General Blue was homosexual and deeply repulsed by attractive women.)

Hearing the commotion, Bulma looked at the somewhat good-looking yet strangely behaving man before her with a puzzled expression.

He's actually pretty handsome. What a shame he's a lunatic.

Seeing this, Blue's two subordinates hurriedly asked, "General Blue, what's wrong?!"

Realizing he had lost his composure, Blue said to his men, "Ahem. The people at the next table are too ugly. They startled me."

The two subordinates swiftly stood up and snarled at Lin Yuan and the others, "Hey! You lot disturbed our general's meal. You have three seconds to get lost, or don't blame the bullets in our guns for having no eyes!"

Hearing the argument, the restaurant patrons all turned curious looks in their direction.

Someone among them recognized the Red Ribbon Army and shouted, "The... the Red Ribbon Army! They're from the Red Ribbon Army! Run!"

Though the crowd had never seen them before, they had heard the name and knew how terrifying they were. They scattered in all directions.

In an instant, only the two tables remained in the spacious restaurant.

Yamcha was the first to stand. Fearlessly, he shot back, "Aren't you being far too unreasonable? Do you really think this restaurant belongs to your family? Apologize to my friends right now, and we won't hold it against you."

How dare they call Bulma ugly? Yamcha was determined to vent this anger!

"Hahahaha, apologize? Kid, did I hear you right? You don't know who the Red Ribbon Army is?"

As they spoke, the two soldiers pointed toward the entrance.

"Look at how sensible they were. They ran fast and saved their own lives. And you still dare demand an apology from us? I think you have a death wish!!"

With that, the two raised their guns and aimed at Yamcha, about to pull the triggers.

But unfortunately, no bullets came out.

Because Yamcha was faster! In less than a second, both men were sprawled on the floor, unconscious.

Yamcha clapped his hands and declared righteously, "Hmph, looks like you've done plenty of evil in your time. Today, I'll uphold justice and deal with you!"

Lin Yuan broke into a cold sweat!

To hell with that! Uphold justice? Who was it that had thumped his chest before and declared himself the Desert Bandit King, saying he was going to rob people?

What shamelessness!

Clap clap clap clap clap! Blue slowly stepped forward, applauding as he said, "Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect you to be such an expert! So, how about it? Interested in following me?"

As he spoke, Blue stared at Yamcha with great interest.

Yamcha looked at Blue and sensed that there was something unusual about him. He said, "Sorry, but I have no interest in following a group that has committed so many evil deeds. I only wanted justice for my friend, and now your men have been taught a lesson too. Let's call this matter even. How about it?"

Hearing Yamcha's refusal, Blue's expression immediately darkened.

"Hehe! Call it even? From the moment you refused me, you became a dead man!"

With that, Blue let out a furious roar and charged at Yamcha.

Lin Yuan did not make a move. He quietly reminded Yamcha, "Be careful. This guy is strong."

Lin Yuan did not tell Yamcha that he was definitely no match for him.

The gap in their power levels was simply too great—Yamcha was 25, while Blue was 66!
