Regret youthful ignorance
Chapter 491 So Much Nonsense
A round trip would take two and a half years, indicating just how remote it was.
This wasn't the problem; the price was generous. Two million already made Qi Yu's heart flutter.
However, what about safety?
She and Huang Yao weren't familiar. What if Huang Yao was setting a trap, hiring several Divine-level experts to ambush her?
In that case, the money would still belong to Huang Yao, and her crystal core would also belong to Huang Yao.
Huang Yao might be a shill hired by one of her enemies.
Huang Yao continued to pester her persistently, eventually offering five million, as Chen Luo had suggested.
Five million! Who could earn five million in two and a half years?
The higher the price Huang Yao offered, the more convinced Qi Yu became that he had ulterior motives. In the end, she directly cut off contact with Huang Yao.
Huang Yao was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly, realizing Qi Yu's concerns.
Back then, if Snake Mother hadn't been his friend and accompanied him, he wouldn't have dared to go either.
Huang Yao sighed deeply, "It's difficult. I'm afraid I won't be able to find anyone for this little brother's request."
Two days later, Huang Yao's butler reported, "There's a young man outside who says he's your friend. His name is Chen Luo, and he's quite young."
What? Chen Luo?
Huang Yao was stunned. He had been in contact with him just a few days ago. Even with space travel, it would take three months to cover the distance. How could he be here already?
So fast?
Huang Yao muttered, "Is void walking that fast?"
Huang Yao's spirits lifted. "Quick, invite him in! No, I'll go myself. And call Xiao Li over here."
Chen Luo arrived at Huang Yao's planet. With his Divine-level status, owning a planet to live on alone wouldn't be difficult.
But that would be too lonely.
In his homeland, Huang Yao was a local tyrant. His family had flourished for tens of thousands of years.
As long as Huang Yao didn't die, his dominant position would never be threatened.
Chen Luo took in the sights along the way. It resembled a classic small town, with quite beautiful scenery.
With Huang Yao around, the residents of the entire planet lived and worked in peace and contentment. There was no war, and no one dared to invade.
Where was Huang Yao's home? Wasn't it easy to find out with a casual stroll?
Good heavens, it occupied an area of perhaps hundreds of thousands of *mu* (Chinese unit of measurement, 1 mu ≈ 0.16 acres).
Pavilions and courtyards, with picturesque hills and clear waters.
Although poor, this life was something Chen Luo envied.
Huang Yao came out laughing, delighted. "It really is you, Brother!"
Chen Luo was young, so everyone called him "Brother."
Chen Luo nodded with a smile.
Huang Yao welcomed Chen Luo inside. From afar, a voice called out.
"Father, you were looking for me?"
A girl who was over two meters tall, quite sturdy, but with delicate features, ran over.
Huang Yao's race didn't consider slenderness beautiful, but rather strength.
It was ingrained in their bones, after all, for the sake of survival.
According to Chen Luo's aesthetic, setting aside her figure, her face was still quite delicate.
Huang Yao pulled her over and introduced her with a smile, "Xiao Li, this is your Uncle Chen. Greet him."
Huang Li looked at Chen Luo curiously, *Is he even older than me?*
Huang Li said sweetly, "Greetings, Uncle Chen. Hello, Uncle Chen."
Huang Yao winked at Chen Luo, as if saying, "My daughter's not bad, right? Want to consider her?"
Uh, Huang Li gave Chen Luo the feeling of a female strongman with a full set of muscles, paired with a delicate face.
It was as strange as could be.
Since this junior was giving Chen Luo a greeting, it wouldn't be right for Chen Luo not to reciprocate.
Chen Luo casually tossed out the purple crystal card from Sirus with over a million credits.
"Niece, take this and spend it. It's your Uncle Chen's greeting gift."
Huang Yao watched with a smile, thinking it was probably only a few tens of thousands of purple crystals. She had to spend it quickly, or the handling fees would eat up all the money.
Huang Yao could also tell that Chen Luo wasn't interested in Huang Li, so he waved his hand, telling Huang Li to leave.
Huang Li took the purple crystal card and ran off quickly, *A purple crystal card! Let's see how much money is inside!*
One million three hundred thousand!
Huang Li excitedly stuffed her hand into her mouth, stars in her eyes.
"My dear father! Is Uncle Chen so rich? How did Baba get to know such a tycoon?"
Chen Luo and Huang Yao sat down in the living room.
Huang Yao said, "As for modifying the spaceship, I've found someone suitable. Snake Mother will do. She provides protection for the gray market, so getting her will get us a discount."
Although he had mastered the Law of Space Teleportation, a spaceship was still necessary.
The Law of Space Teleportation, for long distances, would still consume a lot of Chen Luo's xeno-energy, and it would be dangerous without xeno-energy.
Well, Chen Luo felt it was dangerous.
In addition, Mili and the others were always in the xeno-energy space. Although the xeno-energy space was safe, it was a dark space, and it was boring to stay inside for a long time.
Huang Yao continued, "But it's difficult to find a Light-Type Divine-level expert as you requested. Your hometown is too remote. No one dares to go, fearing we're a black market operation."
Chen Luo pondered. It seemed to be the case. It wasn't a matter of money. The higher the price offered, the more worried they became.
Mili advancing to demigod should be able to greatly purify Blue Star, but it probably couldn't completely purify it, after all, it was a corruption of the Law of Darkness.
Chen Luo wanted to do things perfectly. Even without Auberon, Blue Star had been ravaged beyond recognition by humans.
But without a Light-Type Divine-level expert, there was no way.
Huang Yao slapped his forehead and said, "Snake Mother might know someone. Let's ask her."
Huang Yao contacted Snake Mother, and soon Snake Mother's voice came through.
Snake Mother said enthusiastically, "Looking for a Light-Type to purify your hometown? It doesn't matter if you can't find one. I can do it too. I'll accompany you on a trip, Chen Luo."
Snake Mother could do it?
That would be even better.
The fewer people who knew that Blue Star was Chen Luo's hometown, the better.
Chen Luo and Huang Yao immediately headed to Snake Mother's planet, which was very close, only ten days away by spaceship.
...
Meow Star.
Chen Luo had left, but Meow Star was still safe, after all, it was a territory protected by a demigod.
In the camp, Wan Jiangui's cries rang out.
"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I know I was wrong!"
Xu Qing pointed at Wan Jiangui and cursed, "Are you even human? You're just despicable, actually peeking..."
"Let's just beat him to death. He's a treacherous scumbag."
There were no secrets in the world. The news of Wan Jiangui betraying Big Brother and trying to rely on Chen Luo to propose to Shu Yun had spread.
Everyone scorned him.
Wan Jiangui was having a miserable time. Everyone called him a scumbag.
A team of spaceships landed on Meow Star, not to invade, but to rest for a while.
This was a mercenary team in the universe, doing any business that could make money.
Their highest level was only Emperor-level, so they didn't dare to cause trouble in a place protected by a demigod.
The people of Meow Star and Dawn City discovered them and were on guard.
After resting for a few days, this group prepared to leave.
Yuri stepped forward and said, "Hey, can you take me with you? I want to see the prosperity of the universe. I'm a Mental-Type at the peak of King-level."
One of the people in the team's eyes lit up. Mental-Types were relatively rare, and King-level was indeed qualified to join them.
Yuri was restless.
After Yuri said that, more than a dozen King-level members also joined.
They also had a heart for adventure. Although they were stable with Chen Luo, it seemed there was no chance for advancement.
They wanted to see the vast universe.
Wan Jiangui hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Yuri. "Yuri, we've been friends for so many years. Take me with you. I don't want to stay here anymore."
Yuri hesitated, looking at the mercenaries. The other party nodded in agreement. An eighth-level, he could be a servant.
Those who wanted to venture out boarded what they considered a magical spaceship.
As the spaceship door was about to close, Wan Jiangui looked towards Dawn City with a tearful voice.
"I, Wan Jiangui, will make something of myself one day!"
"Today, you ignore me, but tomorrow, you won't be able to reach me!"
"From today onwards, I'm changing my name to Wan Linggui. I'm not a scumbag!"
"The poorest I can be is a beggar, but if I don't die, I'll eventually succeed!"
Wan Jiangui braced against the door, preventing it from closing, and kept rambling on.
An imposing mercenary angrily slapped Wan Jiangui's head, blasting it open.
"Too much nonsense."
