With the protection of the mecha squadron, the rest of the journey went smoothly and uneventfully.

Two days later, they finally arrived at the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City, located in the heart of the Star Luo Continent.

Star Luo City is vast in area, but it has city walls that are extremely rare in the Douluo Continent, making it look more like an ancient city.

The city walls are also equipped with various soul-guided weapons as part of the defense system, which further demonstrates the unrest within the Star Luo Empire.

However, once inside the city, a sense of familiarity immediately arose.

The streets were bustling with people, and apart from the architectural style and people's clothing being slightly different from those on the Douluo Continent, there wasn't much difference.

After such a long boat ride and the fatigue of travel, they finally arrived in a big city, and Yu Longyue and the others felt a sense of relief.

They were accommodated in the luxurious Star Luo Grand Hotel. Perhaps to compensate the delegation for the fright they had suffered, even the trainees were given the most luxurious suites.

The Star Luo Grand Hotel boasts a very luxurious architectural style, with gold and white as the main colors, giving it a magnificent and opulent feel.

What Yu Longyue found to be a very strange and wonderful coincidence was...

Gu Yue's room was right next to his.

Um...

Yu Longyue glanced at the Red-Grade Mecha in her spatial storage.

First thing in the morning, let's get this thing sorted out.

I took out my phone and sent a message to my dad.

"I got a Red-Grade Mecha -Red-Grade Mecha from Green Skull. Could you do me a favor and send it back to the Douluo Continent through family channels so my second uncle can take care of it?"

After a long time, when even Yu Longyue was getting impatient, Dad finally replied:

What do you need this thing for?

Yu Longyue replied matter-of-factly, "Of course it's because I want to try out Red-Grade Mecha! Look, a Red-Grade Mecha, how much money can that save?"

"Your second uncle is also in the Star Luo Continent on business. Don't disturb your mom and me on our trip. Go find him yourself. I've sent you the address."

Yu Longyue: "..."

What kind of couple is this, forgetting their child?

"Three-day holiday, let's go see Uncle first." Yu Longyue had just stepped out of the hotel when a gentle breeze blew in her face.

He was about to take a deep breath of fresh air when a familiar and elegant figure appeared in his line of sight.

Gu Yue walked gracefully toward him, wearing a simple yet elegant white dress. The hem of the dress swayed gently with her steps, creating a scene of refreshing beauty.

Sunlight streamed through the tall buildings outside the hotel, falling on her and giving her long, flowing hair a soft golden edge.

Her pace was unhurried, exuding a composed air, as if she were a beautiful sight wherever she went.

Yu Longyue's gaze was involuntarily drawn to her.

Good morning, are you going out?

Hearing Gu Yue's voice, Yu Longyue finally came to her senses.

"Good morning, I'm going to find my second uncle to deal with the spoils from before."

" Red-Grade Mecha?"

"Yes, my second uncle is Red-Grade Mecha pilot, so it's best to leave it to him." Yu Longyue nodded. "Would you like to come with me?"

Originally, his father and second uncle were the most talented in the family, and everyone had a chance to reach the Limit Douluo.

However, my second uncle really liked mechas and often neglected his cultivation because of them, which is why his cultivation level was always stuck at Level 98.

This is only because the family allocates resources to him every day; otherwise, his second uncle wouldn't even have reached the Super Douluo.

Sometimes, you have to choose between something you enjoy and spiritual practice.

The allure of the Red-Grade Mecha is so great that many people have delayed their cultivation progress in pursuit of Red-Grade Mecha.

Mu Ye of the Body Sect was like this, and so was his second uncle.

Gu Yue was stunned, clearly not expecting Yu Longyue to invite her.

Is this the time to meet the parents?

"What's wrong?" Yu Longyue asked, noticing Gu Yue's unusual expression.

Gu Yue was taken aback for a moment, then realized she might have misunderstood something, and coughed lightly to cover her embarrassment.

"Okay, then I'll go shopping with you." Gu Yue regained her usual composure and nodded.

After the two walked out of the hotel side by side, Xu Xiaoyan and the others witnessed the whole scene.

"Why do they seem to be doing this more and more often lately? I heard they're even skipping social events to meet privately."

"I guess Sister Gu Yue sensed the crisis and wants to seize the opportunity to take down the captain?"

Yue Zhengyu and Tang Wulin had their arms around each other's shoulders.

" Wulin, look at you, you're already fifteen. When are you going to treat yourself better and find someone?"

"I thought the girl who asked you to dance on the boat was pretty nice."

"What are you saying? I'm still young, I just want to study hard and improve every day." Tang Wulin blushed, somewhat shy.

"You, don't be like Xie Xie, that deadbeat simp. He's like a leech, our class monitor can't shake him off." Yue Zhengyu pouted.

Xie Xie immediately jumped up and down. "Who are you calling a simp? You single dog!"

"Class monitor, what exactly does he like about you? You'd better change it quickly." Yue Zhengyu looked at Yuanen Yehui.

Xie Xie immediately rushed over and grabbed him by the neck. "Watch out, or I'll call the captain to deal with you!"

"No, I'll call the captain to deal with you before you do."

Watching the noisy scene of the young people from behind, Huo Yuhao sighed slightly, hands in his pockets, seemingly indifferent to everyone.

"By the way, Brother Dong, how come I've never seen you have any scandals?" Tang Wulin nudged him with his elbow.

"Me? I guess I'll pass." Huo Yuhao's eyes held a hint of sadness.

The person he loved most died in the Qiankun Asking Love Valley, and the person who loved him most sacrificed himself to save him. To this day, he has not yet emerged from those two special days, as if he has died twice, once on those two days.

Ten thousand years ago, he was a gifted and spirited young genius; after becoming a god, he became God King of Emotions who lost himself.

Having been given a second chance at life and finally freed from the control of God King Tang San, his most important goal now is to see if he can revive Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er.

And teachers...

He will make up for his regrets in this lifetime.

Following the address on his phone, Yu Longyue found his second uncle's temporary residence in Star Luo City.

It was a luxurious villa located in the city center, surrounded by a quiet environment and lush greenery.

Yu Longyue pressed the doorbell, and after a while, the door opened, and a middle-aged man appeared in the doorway. He was dressed in casual clothes, and his face resembled Yu Longyue's, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes revealed his age.

"Second Uncle," Yu Longyue greeted with a smile.

"It's Longyue." The middle-aged man seemed a little surprised, but quickly a smile appeared on his face. "Come in, come in."

"Second Uncle, I brought you something good," Yu Longyue said mysteriously.

"Oh? What good stuff?" Uncle asked curiously.

"A Red-Grade Mecha," Yu Longyue said with a smile.

My second uncle's eyes immediately lit up. " Red-Grade Mecha? Where did you get it?"

"We were attacked by the Green Skull organization before, and these are the spoils of war, though they're a bit damaged. Could you see if you can fix them for me?" Yu Longyue explained.

"Haha, you always manage to surprise me." Second Uncle patted Yu Longyue on the shoulder, looking very happy.

"Second Uncle, let me introduce you. This is my classmate, Gu Yue. You've met her before." Yu Longyue turned to Gu Yue.

"Hello, Second Uncle." Gu Yue greeted her Second Uncle politely.

"Hello, hello, please come in." Uncle Er greeted them warmly, leading them to the hall and having someone serve them tea and water.

"Second Uncle, why did you come to the Star Luo Continent this time?" Yu Longyue asked in surprise.

Uncle's face stiffened. He waved his hand somewhat unhappily, "It's all because of your dad. He said he'd been working for so long and needed a vacation, so he brought your mom along to come with you. Not only can they travel, but they can also protect you."

"There's always a need for someone to manage things at home. I'm here on behalf of the company to discuss business with the Federation in the Star Luo Empire. It's about the network you set up. If the opportunity arises, we'll definitely want to cooperate with the Star Luo Continent."

"The details have been mostly agreed upon. Signal stations and such will be set up, and there will also be a firewall between the mainland and other continents to prevent others from bypassing it to access Star Luo Empire's network, etc. It's quite troublesome."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Second Uncle." Yu Longyue scratched his head; this was originally his job.

Second Uncle chuckled, "No trouble at all, it's all family business. We're all family, why be so polite? By the way, are you sure you want me to help you with that Red-Grade Mecha?"

"Second Uncle, just make me a Red-Grade Mecha." Yu Longyue said expectantly. "I don't have many requirements. It needs to be able to get around, have some combat and defensive capabilities, and be the fastest. By the way, I've noticed that the mechas here in the Star Luo Empire are all animal-shaped. Second Uncle, why don't you make me a dragon-shaped one? That would be so cool."

"Haha, of course, no problem. Consider it a gift from your second uncle." The second uncle was extremely generous, waving his hand, and the matter was settled just like that.

However, he still had some concerns. " Longyue, remember what your second uncle said: never get obsessed with mecha, no matter how charming it is... but you will be the head of the family in the future, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, I get it. The point is, even if I like mecha, I can't possibly devote all my energy to them..."

If he dares to do that, regardless of whether the Sea God Pavilion agrees or not, his family alone will break his legs.

"Your situation is different from mine. I have an older brother who can help me out. Originally, I had the same setup as Longyang, but I chose to become obsessed with mecha." Uncle recalled the past, "Do you remember when your grandfather found out about this, he wanted to break my legs? It was your father who helped me, otherwise... there would have been a lot of trouble."

Yu Longyue nodded. "I'm destined to be the head of the family, and even if I wanted someone to take my place, no one would."

After a brief chat with my second uncle, he went to deal with the Red-Grade Mecha.

Feeling bored staying in Yu Longyue, Gu Yue took her out for a casual stroll to kill time during the holiday.

"What's wrong?" Yu Longyue asked, noticing Gu Yue's silence. "Are you unhappy?"

Gu Yue hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's nothing, I just think your second uncle's Martial Soul is a bit strange."

"It's also Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but it's different from my dad's pure Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon." Yu Longyue then realized what she meant. "My second uncle's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon mutated; half of it evolved towards the direction of the Radiant Sacred Dragon, which is why it's somewhat special."

As Yu Longyue was speaking, she stopped in her tracks.

Gu Yue stopped with him, and the two exchanged a glance.

"Someone is monitoring you," Gu Yue said.

"They're from the Star Luo Imperial Family." Yu Longyue turned around and immediately understood the situation.

Behind them, a young girl, protected by several large men, was staring intently at Yu Longyue.

She was not tall, but petite and delicate. Her pale yellow dress accentuated her shapely figure, and she looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. She was extremely beautiful, with long hair cascading down her back.

Gu Yue gazed calmly at Yu Longyue:

How did you determine that?

"Um... it should be... the little princess of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Yun'er, right?" Yu Longyue managed a weak explanation, just as the princess walked towards her.

Gu Yue asked expressionlessly, "You know her?"

"Of course not, I only learned about the Star Luo Empire online..."

Seeing that the girl had already arrived in front of him, Gu Yue's expression was strange, and he whispered to Yu Longyue:

"You're incredibly lucky with women; you're surrounded by beautiful women wherever you go."

Yu Longyue controlled her facial expressions.

This jealousy... tsk.
