Li Chen instinctively felt that something was wrong.
He had wanted to keep watching the scene and see what the hell this Yue Dong was plotting.
However,
Yue Dong'er said nothing more in the scene. She only said that the plan could begin, then ended the call on her communicator.
She stretched her limbs in Yuhao's study, then quickly turned back into a man and walked out.
It was just like a teacher entering a student's study to check his schoolwork. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
The scene came to an abrupt end.
"Hiss."
"What the hell is going on with this Yue Dong?!"
Li Chen hurriedly activated his communicator. Through the three scenes from the Giant Tree of Sadness, he had already obtained the names and identities of the three reincarnated people.
So,
Li Chen immediately began searching the Soul Net for information on the three of them.
"Found them."
Their information soon appeared on his communicator.
[Di Qiu'er, core disciple of the Shrek Inner Court. Martial Soul: Golden Dragon, an Ultimate Strength Martial Soul. Family background: a secluded clan. Last registered Soul Power: rank 72.] [Huo Yuhao, only son of Prince Dai Yan of the Star Luo Empire. Martial Soul: Evil Eye White Tiger, Ultimate Ice. Soul Power Level: 65. Rank 6 master blacksmith, Two-Word Battle Armor master, rank 6 mecha designer and rank 5 Mecha Manufacturer. Purple-class fighter of the Tang Sect's Soul Fighting Hall.] [Yue Dong'er, granddaughter of Yue Zhengen of the Angel Clan's Yue Family, elder sister of Yue Zhengyu. Martial Soul: Light Goddess Butterfly, a mutation of the Angel Martial Soul. Soul Power Level: unknown. Deceased, killed during a mission to eliminate Evil Soul Masters.]
Li Chen's brows knitted tightly after he read the information.
"What? This Yue Dong'er's official records actually list her as dead?!"
"Then what did I just see?"
A cold sweat suddenly broke out on Li Chen's back.
Coupled with the scene just now, where Yue Dong'er had hidden in the study to communicate with someone outside,
A bad premonition welled up in Li Chen's heart.
Wang Dong'er had reincarnated as a member of the Angel Clan. That alone was one thing, but her official records listed her as killed in action, yet she had appeared within the Star Luo Empire!
This clearly meant that Yue Zhengen of the Angel Clan was plotting something!
"Fine, fine, fine. Twenty thousand fucking years have passed, and the Angel Clan still loves these schemes of sacrificing the plum tree in place of the peach."
Li Chen inwardly grumbled, speechless.
Tang San's daughter had actually reincarnated as a descendant of the Angel Clan.
Who the hell knew whether this was retaliation from the planar fortune of the Douluo Continent?
Retaliation was one thing, but this definitely wasn't good news for Li Chen right now.
Although he had orchestrated all these reincarnations, he had no information about what these people were doing or plotting after being reincarnated!
Besides,
Li Chen knew full well that matching Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er this time would be a hell of a lot harder than matching Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui.
The main problem was,
In this life, Wang Dong'er had turned into a man in front of Huo Yuhao and appeared as a man. How was he supposed to match them?
"Sigh, I'd better leave it to the Dream Memory Hammer's mighty divine power. One whack each."
"Heh, my fourth Soul Skill just happens to be Yue Lao's Matchmaking Thread. If they won't fall in love, I'll use a steel wire as their red thread. Let's see them resist that."
Li Chen set the matter aside for now. His most urgent task was to find an opportunity to go to the Star Luo Empire.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to meet Huo Yuhao's and Wang Dong'er's reincarnations.
The night passed without incident.
The next day,
His dad, Li Yuntian, left early in the morning.
Gu Yue stretched as she walked out of her room. At her first sight of Li Chen, she still felt a little strange.
"Ahem, um, you... have you eaten?"
Gu Yue suppressed the slight awkwardness in her heart and asked.
"I have. I ordered breakfast for you, my lord."
Li Chen kept his head down, scrolling through his communicator as he pondered how to get to the Star Luo Empire.
First of all, asking his dad definitely wouldn't work.
Although his dad was the Federation's parliamentary speaker, the Star Luo Empire no longer belonged to the Sun Moon Federation. It was even an enemy.
Li Yuntian definitely wouldn't agree to let him go.
That left asking Leng Yaozhu, or Long Xiaoyao and Ye Zhaolu, to take him.
But Li Chen didn't particularly want to ask Brother Long.
It wasn't that he was afraid of troubling Brother Long. The main issue was that Brother Long's identity was sensitive, too. If a War God of the War God Temple went to the Star Luo Empire for no reason, it'd be fucking strange if he wasn't watched.
Whether he could even enter was another question.
That left only Leng Yaozhu. Her identity as a member of the Spirit Pagoda wasn't sensitive. The Star Luo Empire had Spirit Pagoda branches, too.
Just then,
Li Chen suddenly turned his gaze toward Gu Yue.
Hmm, I almost forgot about this little lewd dragon.
"My lord, there's something I want to discuss with you."
"Mm..." Gu Yue gnawed on a large meat bun. "Go ahead."
"I want to go to the Star Luo Empire. Could you tell Teacher, or take me there yourself?"
Gu Yue swallowed her mouthful of bun and took a large gulp of soy milk.
"The Star Luo Continent? Why do you want to go there?"
Gu Yue was puzzled.
The Star Luo Continent was a new continent that the original Star Luo Empire had discovered by chance.
Although it was also a continent, its development lagged far behind the Sun Moon Federation's.
After all, the Star Luo Empire had only moved away out of necessity because it could no longer get by on the Douluo Continent.
Apart from Star Luo's distinctive deep-sea exploration technology, the Star Luo Continent's Soul Guidance Technology and number of powerful experts were almost a whole tier below the Sun Moon Federation's.
In Gu Yue's eyes,
The Sun Moon Federation was the main body of human society. She didn't give the Star Luo Continent or the neighboring Dou Ling Continent any consideration at all.
Take the Star Luo Continent, for example. Only Holy Dragon Douluo En Ci amounted to much. Apart from him, there were barely any Limit Douluos. Gu Yue might even be able to destroy the Star Luo Empire single-handedly.
"Here's the thing. My Martial Soul, the Tree of Sorrow, is a little unusual. It can sense reincarnated people. I feel that there might be reincarnated people over on the Star Luo Continent."
Gu Yue abruptly stood up when she heard this.
"Really?"
"Really."
"Hiss..."
Gu Yue looked Li Chen up and down. "So that's what that gaudy pink tree of yours is for?"
Li Chen was speechless. "What do you mean, gaudy pink tree? I'd advise you to show my Martial Soul a little more respect, my lord."
"Heh. A plant Martial Soul with a hundred-year fourth Soul Ring. Who's really disrespecting it...?"
Gu Yue rolled her eyes.
What person in their right mind gave their Martial Soul a hundred-year fourth Soul Ring?
"Still, if there really are reincarnated people there, I think we could go take a look."
After learning that the dragon bloodline within Li Chen could evolve, Gu Yue was now very curious about these so-called reincarnated people, too.
After all,
If reincarnated people could also evolve her Silver Dragon King bloodline, then perhaps she, Gu Yue, wouldn't need to merge with Na'er at all to become the complete Silver Dragon King, or even revert to the ancestral Dragon God?
Although that possibility felt very slim, Gu Yue thought it was worth a try.
"All right, I agree. I'll explain it to Leng Yaozhu and say an elder from my clan is taking me out to travel."
"As it happens, Leng Yaozhu is worrying about her younger sister Leng Yulai right now and has no time to spare for the two of us. I'll take you along when the time comes."
Li Chen thanked her. "Many thanks, my lord!"
Gu Yue waved a hand. "It's nothing. I'll also take you to the Star Dou Great Forest on this trip. Di Tian and the others probably really want to see you, too."
