Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 402 His strength is still too weak

In the night sky, two figures stood suspended in mid-air. Rather than figures, they were more accurately described as energy entities—pale blue energy bodies floating high in the sky, looking down at the mountains below. Judging from their forms alone, both energy entities appeared to be female.

The energy entity standing in front looked down at the mountains below, or more precisely, at Jing Chen within those mountains. A tender, loving, and reluctant emotion flickered in its eyes.

"Miss, you..." the energy entity standing behind couldn't help but speak.

"Miss, you sneaked out, His Highness..." said the energy entity standing behind.

The energy entity standing in front didn't answer her question. Instead, it looked down at the mountains and asked, "How high do you think humanity's potential really is?"

The energy entity standing behind shook its head: "Xiao Yao doesn't know."

The energy being standing in front smiled slightly and said to Xiao Yao, "I've asked someone else this question before, and his answer really impressed me."

Xiao Yao did not interrupt the energy being in front of her, but listened quietly to what she was saying: "He said, 'Human potential is limitless. You never know what kind of potential a person can unleash until the very last moment.'"

"Miss, then he..." Xiao Yao asked.

The energy entity chuckled: "He's not with me right now. But perhaps one day in the future, Xiao Yao will be able to see him."

"Miss, what kind of person is this?" Xiao Yao's interest was completely piqued by the energy body, and she pressed for an answer.

"He's a total straight guy. When I first met him, all he could think about was studying. It took me a long time to win him over. He's very handsome and always gives people a sense of security. Whenever you need him, he'll be there for you the moment."

"Wow, that's great! Then why didn't Miss bring him back?" Xiao Yao asked.

The energy entity remained silent for a moment, looked at the mountains below, and slowly said, "In his words, he and I are not on the same path."

"Even so, Miss, you still really want him to come see you, right?" Xiao Yao asked with a grin.

The energy entity nodded: "Yes, but he's too weak. He'll probably be killed before he even finds me."

"Then..." Xiao Yao wanted to ask something else, but for some reason, she swallowed it back.

The energy entity said, "However, once he grows up, he might very well become the strongest one."

"Miss, there's something Xiaoyao wants to say, but she's not sure whether she should or shouldn't."

"Go ahead and say it."

"Miss, you were already preparing to get engaged to His Highness, so why did you run away from the engagement banquet?" Xiao Yao asked.

The energy entity fell silent. Its gaze towards the mountains was filled with affection. After a long while, it slowly spoke, "Little Yao, you've been following me for quite some time now, haven't you?"

"Yes, it's probably been three or four hundred years." Xiao Yao nodded.

"In your opinion, my Dream Star Clan is already the leader of the Four Great Spirit Clans, so why do we still need to form a marriage alliance with the Heavenly Emperor Clan, the second largest of the Four Great Spirit Clans?" the energy entity asked.

Xiao Yao pondered for a moment, then shook her head. The energy entity chuckled, "Although my Dream Star Clan is already the leader of the four great spirit clans, in order to consolidate our position, our clan leader arranges marriages with the other three great spirit clans every year, either with the eldest sons and daughters of the other three great spirit clans, or with disciples from the branches of the other three great spirit clans. As for me, my engagement to him is merely a pawn for the Dream Star Clan to consolidate its own position and win over the Heavenly Emperor Clan."

Xiao Yao also fell silent. The energy being's words contained a great deal of information. The four great spirit races were beings that transcended the starry sky and controlled the laws of the universe. There were countless races in the starry sky, but only the four great spirit races could stand out, and their strength was self-evident.

"I don't like that Tian Xing. He's such a playboy, it's disgusting to look at," the energy entity said.

"Miss Ke is the eldest daughter of the Dream Star Clan... and also one of the four great spirit clans..." Xiao Yao didn't finish her sentence, but the energy entity already understood what Xiao Yao wanted to say.

Looking up at the sky, he sighed softly, "So what? In the end, I've only become a pawn in the hands of those four clans."

Xiao Yao lowered her head and looked at the mountains below. Suddenly, she saw a streak of silver light moving swiftly through the forest. The more Xiao Yao looked at that silver light, the more astonished she became.

Xiao Yao might not be very strong, but in this lower realm, no living being could escape her eyes. And that silver light—Xiao Yao couldn't see through it! Aside from the silver light, Xiao Yao couldn't see anything else.

"Miss, what... what is that?" Xiao Yao asked, pointing at the silver light in shock.

The energy entity followed Xiao Yao's gaze. Xiao Yao could clearly see a tenderness appear in the energy entity's eyes when it looked at that silver light. This shocked Xiao Yao even more. As a young lady of the Starry Sky Clan, Xiao Yao had never seen her show such a look before. It was as if a young wife had seen her husband returning home.

"Miss, could it be..." Before Xiao Yao could finish speaking, a flash of silver light suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

As the silver light faded, a pale green energy entity appeared before their eyes. Upon seeing this energy entity, Xiao Yao immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully greeted, "Your Highness Tianxing."

Tian Xing ignored Xiao Yao and instead looked at the energy entity, gazing at her tenderly with a faint smile, "Ling'er, what are you doing here? I've been looking for you for ages."

"Where I am is none of your business, is it?" The energy being called Ling'er raised her head, a flash of disgust in her eyes.

"Ling'er, how can you say that? We'll be engaged in six months, and you're practically my wife now," Tian Xing said gently.

"Tianxing! Even if we're engaged, it won't be for another six months! Right now, I'm not your wife! So, you have no right to tell me what I do or where I go!" Ling'er shouted angrily.

"Mengling! Don't be ungrateful! I've already given you enough face by coming to see you! Do you still want to sneak out like last time?" Tianxing was also a bit angry after being scolded by Mengling, and he shouted loudly without control of his voice.

Tian Xing reached out and grabbed Meng Ling's wrist, trying to forcibly take her back. Meng Ling casually shook him off, looking at him with disgust: "Don't lay a hand on me! You're not worthy to control me right now!" As she spoke, a pale blue energy ball flew directly towards Tian Xing.

Tian Xing was shocked. He stretched out his arms, and a pale green energy shield enveloped him, blocking Meng Ling's attack. However, after blocking it, the pale green energy shield was already covered with cracks.

"You! Are you going to disobey Chief Mengxing's orders?" Tianxing roared.

Upon hearing the words "Chief of the Dream Star Clan," Meng Ling slowly lowered her raised hand, took a deep breath, and exhaled gently. Looking at the mountains below, she said to Tian Xing, "Go back. I won't go back with you. Don't worry, this time, I won't run away. Besides, Yao'er is here. Where can I run to?"

Tian Xing nodded, deactivated the energy shield, took a few steps back, and turned to fly into the sky. "Hmph, however fierce you are to me now, once you marry me, I'll make you pay double!"

"Miss..." Xiao Yao came over, trying to soothe Meng Ling's emotions.

"I'm fine." Mengling took a deep breath, glanced one last time at the figure in the woods, and left with Xiaoyao.
