Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

In the past three years, Dai Mubai has completely given up on himself. For his own safety, he has not even stepped out of Shrek Academy for three years. Xingluo sent people to try to bring him back, but they were all driven away by the Golden Iron Triangle.

Because of Dai Mubai's malicious evasion, the royal family directly announced the termination of his right of succession and even issued a diplomatic protest to the Heaven Dou Empire demanding his repatriation.

Without the obstacle of the family trial, Zhu Zhuyun naturally returned to her former role as a kind older sister.

Since Zhu Zhuqing returned to Xingluo, she has been diligently cultivating. Zhu Zhuyun felt tired just watching her, so she would occasionally take her out shopping to relax.

“Cultivation is our own business.” Zhu Zhuqing shook her head; she didn’t know what else she could do besides cultivate.

"Okay, okay, you're right. But don't forget to buy new clothes. Don't you want to look your best when you see him again someday?" Zhu Zhuyun took Zhu Zhuqing's arm and gave her a meaningful look.

Zhu Zhuqing blushed and looked away without saying a word, but suddenly a familiar smiling face came into view, waving and greeting them from above.

"Gentlemen, it's been a long time."

"Lu Mingfei?" Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but exclaim softly, while Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes lit up and her pretty face blushed slightly.

Lu Mingfei took out a few soul coins and placed them on the tea table, then flipped over and jumped downstairs.

The guards immediately surrounded Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei raised his hands to indicate that he meant no harm. At the same time, Zhu Zhuyun spoke up to help him out of the situation.

"Stop! This is the Crown Prince's distinguished guest."

It was at this moment that Zhu Zhuqing slowly stepped forward: "Mingfei, it really is you."

“Yes, I need Your Highness Davis’s help with something, so I came over.” Lu Mingfei scratched the back of his head.

He had just been thinking about how to visit the Zhu family and then contact Davis, but now it's perfect, he doesn't need to bother anymore.

Chapter 236 Star Luo

As girls grow up, Ning Rongrong blossoms into a graceful young woman, and Zhu Zhuqing naturally becomes even more beautiful and charming.

If she was a naive young girl before, she has now begun to show the beauty of an unparalleled woman.

Zhu Zhuyun never expected that people would be so easily reminded of her; she had just started talking about the other person when the person in question actually showed up.

There had been no news of the other party for three years across the entire continent. Now that they had finally reappeared, they naturally had to cherish this opportunity.

“Davis is in the palace. I think he would be very happy if he knew that Brother Lu came to see him.” Zhu Zhuyun smiled and nodded, then quickly led Lu Mingfei back to the Star Luo Palace.

As soon as Lu Mingfei and the others reached the palace gate, they saw Davis walking towards them.

"Brother Mingfei, you've finally come to visit my Xingluo!" Davis strode forward, his face full of enthusiastic smiles.

"Your Highness Davis, how have you been?" Lu Mingfei greeted him with a smile.

It must be said that after three years, Davis has indeed gained a certain air of authority in his every move.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group quickly arrived at Davis's bedroom, where fine wine and delicacies had already been prepared. They soon took their seats.

"I heard that Mingfei is my brother. If you need my help, I will do my best to help you if it is within my power."

Lu Mingfei glanced at everyone in the palace, and Davis understood immediately. He dismissed all the servants and even personally poured wine for Lu Mingfei.

Davis was generous, so Lu Mingfei naturally didn't stand on ceremony: "I need as many rare metals as possible. I wonder how much Your Highness can provide now? I'm willing to trade soul bones for it."

The people present were stunned when they heard this. No matter how rare metal is, how can it be compared to a soul bone?

“Since it’s Brother Mingfei who needs it, there’s no need to talk about a deal. Anyway, those things aren’t of much use sitting in the national treasury. Brother Lu, just take them.” Davis said almost without thinking.

As the Crown Prince of Xingluo, although soul bones are rare, he knows very well that they are nothing compared to his friendship with a powerful figure like Lu Mingfei.

Moreover, those metals piled up in the national treasury only take up space; such a trivial matter doesn't need to be reported to the emperor, who can make the decision on his own.

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "Is this a spendthrift?" But he also knew that Davis wasn't just being polite. However, he didn't want to owe him this favor. The hardest debt to repay in the world is always the debt of gratitude.

He immediately took out two soul bones from his storage soul tool and placed them on the table: a right leg soul bone and a left arm soul bone.

The appearance of two top-tier power-type soul bones instantly caused all three of them to gasp in astonishment.

Davis, in particular, is a perfect match for these two power-type soul bones, as he possesses the White Tiger Martial Soul. Not to mention, they can all sense that the quality of these two soul bones is absolutely exceptionally high, far more precious than the ones that their Star Luo Royal Family enshrines.

With the two soul bones placed before him, Davis was speechless for a moment. If he could have decided to give up just now, even if his father were here, he would not agree to give up now.

"I never expected Brother Mingfei to come up with such a grand gesture." Davis took a sip of his drink, trying to suppress his shock.

"I don't want to cheat people. I need to explain the origins of these two soul bones first." Lu Mingfei was aware of the connection between the Star Luo Royal Family and the Haotian Sect, and he didn't want to cause trouble for Davis.

"These two soul bones come from Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect, so you need to consider whether or not to accept them."

"Hao, Haotian Douluo?"

The three were once again shocked. They knew about the Spirit Hall's siege of the Clear Sky Sect three years ago, and since the Clear Sky Douluo had not appeared, they guessed that it was probably related to the ambush of Lu Mingfei not long ago.

No one expected that the mighty Haotian Douluo would actually perish, and even his soul bone would fall into Lu Mingfei's hands.

As for the possibility that Lu Mingfei is lying, it simply doesn't exist, because besides Haotian Douluo, who else could be equipped with such a high-specification power-type soul bone?

The power behind Lu Mingfei, who could defeat Haotian Douluo and trade soul bones at will, was simply unimaginable to Davis.

“Brother Mingfei, I think we have no reason to refuse these two soul bones.” Davis toasted Lu Mingfei again.

"That's good." Lu Mingfei was worried that if the Star Luo Empire didn't dare to accept him, he would have to exchange him for that 100,000-year-old soul bone, but now it seems that he doesn't need to.

The subsequent transaction went smoothly. Davis immediately sent someone to retrieve the items and hand them over to Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei also handed the soul bone to Davis, and both were overjoyed.

Unlike the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is purely a Soul Master family, the imperial treasury has a much richer collection. The various metals and ores weigh at least five tons. Davis also gave Lu Mingfei an extra ten million gold soul coins, clearly showing that he went all out.

"Brother Mingfei, what are your plans next?" Davis pressed his advantage, as Lu Mingfei was far more important than the two soul bones.

Lu Mingfei shook his head; he understood what Davis meant.

“I have always admired Brother Mingfei’s character. If you don’t mind, when I take over Xingluo, you will be my half-brother. We will divide up the land and rule the world together, and I will not hesitate to do so.” Davis looked at Lu Mingfei with utmost sincerity.

"Wow!" Lu Mingfei was a little shocked by this guy's words. He was offered half of the empire in one sentence. He was making a promise that was even more convincing than Xue Qinghe.

If Zhu Zhuyun hadn't been there, he would have suspected that the other person was interested in his buttocks.

However, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Lu Mingfei knew very well that Davis's statement clearly indicated that he sensed a huge crisis on the continent.

But the next version is clearly a battle between gods, so what Davis is thinking now is completely unfounded.

“I appreciate Your Highness Davis’s kindness, but I still think you overestimate me. The future situation on the continent will probably be a thousand times more complicated than you imagine. Even I would probably be insignificant.” Seeing that Davis was agreeable, Lu Mingfei still gave him a few pointers.

“Brother Mingfei, do you know something?” Davis immediately understood what Lu Mingfei meant.

"All I can say is that this is the best of times and the worst of times. My advice is to act according to circumstances and be cautious in everything you do," Lu Mingfei said, trying to sound mysterious.

"This." Davis vaguely sensed that Lu Mingfei's words had a deeper meaning, but he really couldn't figure out what he meant.

Just as he was about to press further, Lu Mingfei suddenly paused in the motion of holding up his wine glass.

At the same time, people from both the Spirit Hall and Seagod Island couldn't help but look in a certain direction.

Lu Mingfei gasped, sensing a sudden surge of energy in the elements, indicating that something was amiss.

Chapter 237 Reunion at the Lake of Life

Lu Mingfei realized that something terrible must have happened, and somehow, the early warning radar sensed it.

He had no desire to stay and exchange pleasantries. The last time the early warning radar reacted this way was when he faced the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon Emperor Tian in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The longer he stayed here, the more trouble he might cause Zhu Zhuqing and the others. Thinking of this, he immediately got up and said goodbye to them.

Davis clearly knew that even the most precious soul bones of soul masters could be discarded by Lu Mingfei like a worn-out shoe. He had no conditions that could move Lu Mingfei, so he stopped trying to persuade him to stay and simply asked Zhu Zhuqing to see Lu Mingfei off.

The two walked side by side without saying a word, but if someone nearby could read the air, they would definitely see that the atmosphere was filled with... awkwardness.

The words Rongrong said a few days ago are still ringing in my ears, but when facing the person in question, I suddenly wonder if I'm being overly self-conscious? It feels a bit like a white photo album.

No, no, no, it's an illusion, it must be an illusion.

I can't figure it out... I shouldn't think about things I can't figure out. Anyway, he only has the desire but not the courage, and he has absolutely nothing to do with White Album.

"Mingfei, have you gone to see Rongrong?" Zhu Zhuqing suddenly asked, looking at the palace gate ahead.

"Huh? Uh..." Lu Mingfei was taken aback, then nodded subconsciously.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's cold face flushed instantly. Remembering her promise to Ning Rongrong, she continued in a low voice, "Rongrong is now the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. She likes you quite a bit. I think you two are a good match."

"???"

What the hell? Even Lu Mingfei, a person with terminal delusions, realized that something was wrong.

But this is just too weird, isn't it?

"If things turn out as you say, then the power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School should be able to help you, right?" Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, like a kitten that had done something wrong. She said this not only to fulfill her promise to Ning Rongrong, but also because she genuinely cared about Lu Mingfei.

The future, which even Lu Mingfei found challenging, was clearly beyond her imagination.

Lu Mingfei didn't expect that his original intention was to remind Xingluo not to stand out too much during the main storyline battle and get focused on, but Zhu Zhuqing was still thinking of him.

"Don't worry about me, and don't always have such heavy thoughts on your minds. I'm just giving you a heads-up, and it might not even affect you. Just live well, and we'll meet again someday." Lu Mingfei shook his head, leaving Zhu Zhuqing with only his back view before disappearing into the streets of Xingluo.

Zhu Zhuqing stared in the direction where Lu Mingfei had disappeared, biting her lip, remaining silent for a long time. She would not choose to give up. Just as Lu Mingfei had said, as long as they lived, they would meet again someday.

After leaving Xingluo City, Lu Mingfei headed straight for Gengxin City, the metal capital. The commotion earlier had been quite frightening, and he needed to finish his exclusive weapon as soon as possible to feel more at ease. After that, he would go to Tiandou City to try and gather some information.

If he wasn't mistaken, it must be related to Tang San, who had acquired the protagonist's template. After all, Qian Renxue was about to become a god, and Tang San would undoubtedly also acquire a new cheat to counter her.

--

Starry Sky Forest.

Thanks to the detection capabilities of the Blue Silver Domain, Tang San felt that his journey was going very smoothly. Although he encountered several super powerful soul beasts along the way, he easily got rid of them by using his flying soul bone technique.

On the fourth day, a large empty area suddenly appeared in the Blue Silver Domain's perception, and there were even traces of water.

Tang San's heart raced instantly. He knew very well that he had entered the central core area. If he wasn't mistaken, this area was very likely the Lake of Life that Xiao Wu had mentioned.

Without much thought, he unleashed the Blue Silver Domain to its fullest extent, even merging his own aura with the Blue Silver Grass, and quietly moved towards that area.

As Tang San passed through a dense forest, his vision suddenly opened up. The bright sunlight caused his pupils to contract slightly, and a beautiful scene that defied description instantly came into view.

The clear lake surface shimmered, reflecting the towering trees and white clouds in the sky. A gentle breeze rippled across the water, creating a breathtaking scene.

But what made Tang San's heart race the most was undoubtedly the enormous figure by the lake, as large as a mountain. Its dark fur shimmered with a metallic luster in the sunlight, and its muscles, protruding like granite hills, exuded a powerful aura that inspired awe.

This is undoubtedly the Titan Ape, the king of the forest, which ranks first in popularity among all the soul beast illustrations across the entire continent.

Right next to the Titan Ape was Xiao Wu, wearing a white long dress and with an elfin-like face. Three years had passed since they last met. Xiao Wu had grown a little taller, and her face had lost its youthful innocence, gaining a touch of gentleness and charm.

Because Xiao Wu had already introduced Tang San to the Titan Giant Ape, Tang San felt reassured and rushed out of the forest the moment he saw Xiao Wu, calling out her name.

"Xiao Wu." After three years, Tang San's longing for Xiao Wu had reached its limit.

However, when Xiao Wu turned her head and saw Tang San appear, she suddenly froze on the spot. Her face showed joy and excitement, but her eyes also held a hint of fear.

Tang San was unaware of what had happened; he simply carried Xiao Wu and ran.

"Xiao Wu, I've come to pick you up."

However, the Titan Ape's fist suddenly fell, blocking his way, and the immense force immediately sent him flying.

At the same time, ripples appeared on the lake surface, and the huge head of the Azure Bull Python burst out of the water. He and the Titan Giant Ape stared intently at Tang San with their huge eyes.

From Xiao Wu's reaction, they knew that this human was the Tang San that Xiao Wu had mentioned, the fool who provoked Lu Mingfei, whom even the Beast God had to curry favor with.

Although the Beast Gods only allowed Xiao Wu to continue living here until level 70, they would absolutely not allow her to leave with this guy who was destined to perish.

If it weren't for the Beast God's order not to kill Tang San, the Titan Giant Ape's punch would have definitely smashed Tang San into mincemeat.

"No, Erming." Xiaowu immediately stepped forward and helped Tang San up from the ground.

Tang San also realized that he was not injured. He thought that the Titan Giant Ape was just being stubborn but soft-hearted. He smiled bitterly, thinking that his family was joking. Otherwise, he would definitely not have survived.

"Sister Xiaowu, we've already agreed that you absolutely cannot leave with him." The deep, rumbling voice of the Azure Bull Python slowly rang out.

But these words were like a bolt from the blue to Tang San.

"Xiao Wu, what exactly happened?" Tang San finally felt a sense of panic. How could Xiao Wu possibly agree to such a thing? Could it be that these two 100,000-year-old soul beasts were threatening Xiao Wu?

Chapter 238 Tang San's mouth is a liar's mouth.

"Brother, I, I..."

Seeing Tang San's concerned gaze, Xiao Wu's eyes instantly reddened.

If she were to reveal the matter of the Beast God here, the four of them would probably be wiped out with a single claw.

"What else could it be? Of course it's because of your stupidity! How dare you provoke a scourge like Lu Mingfei? Do you want Sister Xiaowu to go out and die with you?!" The Azure Bull Python suppressed its anger.
