Hearing the Lunar Star Lord's pointed, deeply suggestive inquiry,
Lu Chen's lips twitched.
—An incarnation?
—Me?
What a joke.
He was a bona fide transmigrator.
He had absolutely nothing to do with an immortal's incarnation.
He was strong only because he had cheats...
But grumble as he might inwardly, Lu Chen put on a shocked expression, his acting at full force. He revealed just the right measure of bewilderment, instantly maxing out the emotional value.
"Moon Goddess, what do you mean by that...?"
The Lunar Star Lord gave a soft laugh, her tone impossible to read. "Nothing in particular. Just idle conversation. After all, Clerk Lu's methods are too shocking and unprecedented. It is only natural for people to let their imaginations run wild."
Lu Chen appeared thoughtful and followed up smoothly. "Then who does the Moon Goddess believe I am an incarnation of?"
"Only Heaven, Earth, and that original body itself would know."
The Lunar Star Lord changed the subject. "Of course, this was merely a casual guess on my part. Perhaps Clerk Lu truly has profound fortune, extraordinary opportunities, and talents bestowed by Heaven."
Lu Chen sighed softly. "I'll borrow the Moon Goddess's auspicious words. To be honest, I wish I really were some big shot's incarnation, like Chang Suqing—born under the Moon Goddess's protection, sailing smoothly all the way. Unlike me, walking on a blade's edge every day. One careless step, and it's soul scattered and body crushed."
He paused. "If I really am some great being's incarnation, then I ought to thank that old senior very much!"
Hearing Lu Chen's complaints, the Lunar Star Lord laughed again. "Enough, I won't idle away the time chatting with you. I hope Clerk Lu continues to improve. I have high hopes for you."
"Thank you for your favor, Moon
