Luo Chen waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned. After chatting with Raven for a few minutes, the door finally opened again, and Luo Chen looked over there to find an unexpected person standing there.
"I go!"
Luo Chen wondered if he was seeing things. Why would Mei be here?!
Mei naturally saw Luo Chen as well, ignoring the gray snake that had brought her there, and walked straight to Luo Chen's side.
"Ya Ya Ya Ya Yi, what are you doing here?"
Luo Chen was terrified. He had just had a fight with her a few days ago, and now he had run into her again, and in the World Serpent's lair no less!
"I came for you."
Mei's voice was calm, but her eyes were fixed on Luo Chen. Her faint smile made Luo Chen tremble, fearing that he would be cleaved in two at any moment.
After calming down, Luo Chen began to analyze why Mei had come here, and finally realized that it could only be Kevin.
"I need an explanation."
Luo Chen walked up to Kevin and drew his knife without hesitation. In an instant, he deliberately slammed the knife into the seat, just centimeters from Kevin's face.
Everyone present, except for Mei and Gray Snake, was startled. They didn't expect Luo Chen to be so bold as to treat Kevin like that.
“I made my demands, and she agreed.”
Kevin's words were clear and unambiguous. He sat facing Luo Chen, but his aura was in no way inferior.
"You know that's not what I'm talking about."
Luo Chen unleashed a powerful burst of Honkai energy, shattering the World Serpent pattern on Kevin's back and even causing a crack to appear in the wall.
'Lord Chen is serious now.'
Gray Serpent silently thought to himself, telling Mei to retreat with him, and as for the other three, let them be the seeds of resentment.
Kevin also unleashed Honkai energy, and the shockwave from the collision of the two Honkai energies knocked Raven and the other two over, while Gray Snake and Mei retreated to a safe distance.
"The world snake needs someone like her."
"Then tell me, I can do what she can do, and I can also do what she can't do, so why did you bring her along!"
Luo Chen was furious. He hadn't wanted Mei to get involved in this mess, but Kevin had dragged her along anyway, which almost made him lose his temper.
"That's enough, Chen."
Mei stopped Luo Chen with a soft shout. Luo Chen turned around and looked at Mei, who had a serious expression on her face. He was waiting for her to give him a reasonable explanation, otherwise he would just tell Mei to go back to St. Freya.
"I requested to come here, and my relationship with World Serpent is merely a cooperative one."
Mei's "you can't get rid of me" attitude gave Luo Chen a headache. He pulled the knife out of the chair, put away the artificial collapse, got down, took Mei's hand, and was about to leave the hall. Before leaving, he looked back at Kevin.
"I won't open it this time. Just tell me where I can find a Herrscher."
The doors slowly closed, and the Honkai energy of the two still lingered in the hall. Raven and the other two were terrified. The collision of Honkai energy just now was truly terrifying, even though both of them had held back their power.
"My lord, what should we do next?"
Gray Snake looked at Kevin, who was sitting quietly in the chair, and asked respectfully.
"The meeting continues."
Kevin said with his eyes closed, but despite his calm demeanor, he was inwardly complaining about Luo Chen's overreaction. He thought that when he confronted Mebius with the Heavenly Fire before, Mebius's reaction wasn't this strong. At most, Luo Chen would put a sack over his head and get a beating.
'Sigh, you've forgotten your brothers now that you have a wife. I'll definitely complain about you to your face someday.'
Chapter 200: Small Island Exploding Crow
Luo Chen led Mei to his room, pressed her into a chair and made her sit down, while he stared at her with a dark expression.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Mei sat obediently, placed her hands on her knees, and looked up at Luo Chen's face, which was as dark as the bottom of a pot, trying to deceive him.
"Say something, you idiot."
Luo Chen tapped Mei's head with a sigh. So many things had already been changed, so why couldn't Mei's joining World Serpent be changed as well?
Luo Chen felt like a clown; everything he had done before was as good as nothing at all, and Mei still came to World Serpent.
'Is it possible that the main events cannot be changed?'
Luo Chen calmed down and thought about the problem. He paced around the room, leaving Mei Yi hanging to dry on one side.
"Chen, what are you thinking about?"
Luo Chen stopped and stared at Mei. As if giving up, he found a chair and slumped down on it, his face full of despair.
"Fine, whatever you want. Now that you're here, it'll be more convenient for you later."
"Will it be more convenient in the future? Is there anything you haven't told me?"
Mei's expression was unfriendly. It seemed that Luo Chen was hiding many things from her, but it didn't matter. She would slowly dig them all out.
"It's nothing major, just that I'll take you somewhere in a while."
Luo Chen casually brushed aside the topic. For some reason, he felt inexplicably uneasy whenever Mei entered the Paradise of the World. He hadn't done anything wrong, had he?
"You'll find out the specifics when you get there; I won't tell you now."
Luo Chen resumed his role as the riddle teller, leaving Mei to gather information about the Paradise of the Past on her own, since there were many memorable scenes there that he wanted to see.
"So, what conditions did Kevin offer you that allowed him to recruit you?"
Luo Chen was a little curious about this. Surely Kevin couldn't have lured Mei away just because he was in World Serpent.
Mei explained to Luo Chen the conditions Kevin offered to recruit her, and after listening, Luo Chen felt an urge to take the Jizo Soul and run back to have a friendly exchange with Kevin.
In Luo Chen's eyes, the conditions Kevin offered were completely useless! He could get the Herrscher abilities from Welt, or if that didn't work, he could bring back Fu Hua to learn the Void Sword God technique. There was no need for crafting equipment; Mei's Herrscher armor and the Key of Heavenly Punishment were enough. In his opinion, only the "any" condition was somewhat appealing.
"Mei, you were completely tricked by Kevin into coming here."
Luo Chen really didn't know what to say, but since things had come to this point, he could only try to squeeze more money out of Kevin.
"Train hard these next few days and quickly master the powers of the Herrscher. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll have a mission soon."
“I remember Kevin telling me that unless you’re a Herrscher, you won’t work for World Serpent.”
As Mei spoke, she turned Luo Chen's head so that she could see his eyes, and continued, "But why are you so sure that the Herrscher will appear so quickly?"
"I heard it from Gray Snake, I don't know anything else."
Luo Chen decisively shifted the blame. Since explaining would be too troublesome, he decided not to explain at all and directly pointed the finger at Gray Snake. He believed that Mei would not ask Gray Snake about these things.
"By the way, where do you live?"
"Next to you."
Mei said calmly, and Luo Chen was not surprised at all. Given Mei's personality, it would be strange if she didn't choose a room next to his.
"Alright, you stay here. I'm going to find Kevin."
"Okay, be careful."
Mei said worriedly. What had just happened really frightened her. She didn't expect Luo Chen to dare to fight Kevin directly. What surprised her the most was that Kevin didn't make any move.
"Alright, Kevin still needs me, he won't lay a hand on me."
After comforting Mei, Luo Chen left the room and headed to the hall, where he happened to run into Raven.
"Have you finished your meetings?"
"Yes, we'll be busy from now on."
Raven revealed the helplessness typical of working people. There was nothing she could do; the World Serpent had given her too much, and she didn't want to run away with the money, especially since she was experiencing some financial difficulties.
"Let me ask you a question, is your island still there?"
Luo Chen grinned mischievously. He knew the island was gone when he saw Raven's face darken. He wanted to laugh but felt it would be impolite, so he turned his head away and forcibly held it in.
"I don't know where you got this information, but could you please not laugh in front of me?"
Thinking of his submerged island, Raven was overcome with grief. The foundation he had built up over most of his life was gone just like that, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
"Ms. Kojima Bakubaku, how were you feeling at the time?"
Luo Chen, with the intention of stirring things up, asked Raven a question, but the answer he received was a dart that grazed his face, clearly indicating that Raven had been put on guard by the question.
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore."
Luo Chen raised his hands in surrender. It was indeed not good to make too many jokes. He had only asked the question because it suddenly came to mind.
"Are you going back?"
"Yes, I have to go back and take care of the children."
"If you ask me, you might as well bring all the children from other places to that base; at least they'd be easier to take care of that way."
Luo Chen suggested to Raven that the base, located in a remote area and under Raven's control, would be perfect for housing the children.
“I’m not like you, able to command a gray snake and a transport ship so easily.”
Raven shrugged. He had considered Luo Chen's suggestion, but it was still too troublesome considering various factors.
"That's easy, I'll help you."
Luo Chen was waiting for this sentence. Raven had been to the Paradise of Past Lives. Although he knew a general idea about the situation there, more information was always better.
Is there anything about me that you want?
