Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chen Heng was looking forward to the changes in Lu Yao’s body.
To Chen Heng, the Power of Destiny in Lu Yao’s body was the most exuberant one he had ever seen among all the chosen ones. Even the few chosen ones that Chen Heng had seen in the past could not compare to that exuberant Power of Destiny.
Therefore, Chen Heng was looking forward to how far Lu Yao could go in the future. How would Lu Yao grow, and how powerful would she become in this world? On the one hand, he was looking forward to it. On the other hand, Chen Heng also hoped to obtain something from Lu Yao.
Lu Yao’s ident.i.ty and destiny had already proved that she had the potential to reach the peak of this world. And when she did, Chen Heng could use her to obtain some things. With a peak powerhouse as his sister, no matter what Chen Heng did in this world, it would undoubtedly be more convenient. And
by that time, many of his plans could be easily completed.
On a star in the distance, Lu Yao and Ye Zi were walking carefully on a piece of ruins in a desolate area. The ruins in front of them looked very dangerous. Although ruins surrounded them, some strange monsters would appear and attack the living people around them from time to time. Every step Lu Yao
and Ye Zi took was perilous as they were afraid to encounter some unknown situation.
As they walked on the road, Lu Yao stopped as she sensed something. She subconsciously looked at the sky. Starlight was flickering, and stars appeared in the night sky, looking extraordinarily bright and beautiful.
It was a bright and sunny day in the distance where Chen Heng was, while it was still night on the star where Lu Yao was.
“My King, what’s wrong?” Ye Zi looked at Lu Yao’s actions and seemed somewhat puzzled. “Did you notice anything?”
“No, I didn’t.” Lu Yao listened to Ye Zi’s words and shook her head, looking puzzled too, “Maybe my feelings were wrong. I keep feeling like there’s someone very important to me missing me…” She seemed to have thought of something as she spoke softly, and her voice gradually weakened until she fell
silent.
Looking at Lu Yao’s condition, Ye Zi suddenly understood. She patted Lu Yao’s shoulder and comforted her silently. Some things in this world were just so strange. Contrary to the expectations of many people on Qika Star, Lu Yao and Ye Zi did not die.
As Chen Heng had finally defeated the Crimson Knight, the crimson net that shrouded Qika star had finally shattered, and the blockade s.p.a.ce had also been released.
Ye Zi and Lu Yao seized the opportunity keenly and underwent teleportation to arrive on this star eventually. They had not fallen as the others had thought. Instead, they had survived.
And in these two years, they had also grown a lot. Because of the injuries caused by the Crimson Knight back then, the Golden Mark on Lu Yao’s body had been damaged, and she was unable to use the power within frequently. This caused Lu Yao and the Crimson Knight to have no choice but to rely on
their strength to fight and survive in this galaxy.
However, due to the damaged Golden Mark, the restrictions placed on Lu Yao’s body seemed to have disappeared as well. As time pa.s.sed, Lu Yao could feel that her talent and abilities were improving in all aspects during these two years. She was no longer the ordinary girl she used to be.
Yet during these two years, they did not live peacefully either. Although the Crimson Knight’s crisis had pa.s.sed, the place they had teleported to was not a good place either. Instead, it was a dangerous and terrifying planet. There were risks of death on this planet, and even a fifth-rank powerhouse would
be swallowed if they were not careful.
Lu Yao and Ye Zi struggled bitterly on this planet. They had to use all their strength to survive.
Within these two years, Lu Yao had utterly transformed. If she were to be placed two years ago, facing the Crimson Knight, she would be able to do better than before. But even so, when she thought of the scene two years ago, Lu Yao could not calm down for a long time.
‘Brother…’ Walking silently on the road, Lu Yao’s expression was calm. She did not say a word, but her heart silently returned to that time in the past. ‘Two years have pa.s.sed. After you left, I have also changed. I wonder if you would recognize me if you see me now?” In the silence, this thought flashed
through the young lady’s mind.
Recalling the scene when they parted, the corners of her eyes were slightly moist, and she had an inexplicable urge to cry.
Time pa.s.sed silently.
A day pa.s.sed very quickly. When dusk arrived, the manor’s door opened. Gunali returned very quickly. She seemed to be having a good time. Ever since she returned, she appeared to be very happy. The smile on her face had never disappeared.
She returned from the outside. After a period of recuperation, she returned to her room.
“Big Friend, I’m back.” After returning to her room, Gunali looked at the broken bones in front of her and said loudly with a smile. Before her, Chen Heng flashed by. After hearing her voice, he silently opened his eyes but silently closed his eyes again after glancing at her.
“Don’t be like this. Pay some attention to me, at least.” As if sensing Chen Heng’s movement, Gunali said in a low voice, acting coquettishly.
After a long while, seeing that Chen Heng was still ignoring her, she grunted and ran to the side, playing with her pocket-sized bear-shaped game console.
Seeing the little girl playing happily at the side, Chen Heng opened his eyes and stopped his meditation. Then, he could not help but shake his head.
Chen Heng’s spiritual s.h.i.+eld worked for many people in the manor in front of him. Almost no one could sense his existence when Chen Heng deliberately wanted to avoid it. But Gunali was an exception.
Although she was just a young, ordinary person in Chen Heng’s eyes, and her strength was weak, she had extraordinary talent and could sense the people’s good and evil intentions. This ability was unique, directed at the soul, and could not be avoided.
Chen Heng could block other people’s perceptions of him, but he could not stop this perception. Therefore, he was completely exposed in front of the little girl in front of him.
However, as time pa.s.sed, Chen Heng got used to it. After all, the little girl in front of him could already sense his existence from the very beginning. As Chen Heng didn’t have any ill intentions toward her, the little girl had a unique curiosity and a good impression of Chen Heng. Two years had pa.s.sed, and
he had already become a part of her life.
Chen Heng was also somewhat used to it. For him, staying so close to Gunali and taking the opportunity to study the unique psionic ability on her body was a good choice.
This ability to directly sense the good and evil thoughts and further sense the soul was unique. There would undoubtedly be a wide s.p.a.ce to expand her potential.
Moreover, this ability was undoubtedly very rare and had a certain degree of attraction to Chen Heng. Therefore, he did not leave this place but instead, he just quietly stayed there, observing Gunali’s situation.
Gunali played a game for a while at the side of her bed, then unknowingly fell asleep. It was not strange. No matter what was special about her, Gunali herself was still a child. It was normal for her to get sleepy easily at her current age. Therefore, Chen Heng wasn’t surprised.
Taking advantage of the moment when Gunali was asleep, Chen Heng started to carefully sense Gunali’s spiritual waves, studying every detail of her body and finding clues about her unique ability. By comparing her spiritual frequency and her body’s activity, he might be able to find some secrets.
In fact, after a period of research, Chen Heng already had found some logic regarding Gunali’s condition. If he was given more time, he might be able to a.n.a.lyze the principle of this unique ability and even develop a corresponding means. At that time, Chen Heng would also be able to have the ability to
detect good and evil, just like Gunali.
If he dug deeper, he could even increase his attainments at the spiritual level and achieve more results. Chen Heng thought so under the current situation.
Time pa.s.sed day by day in his research, which was normal for Chen Heng. After all, he had also gone through this in the past. During the journey, it was impossible to be exciting every moment. This peaceful, ordinary time formed most of the time.
Today was no exception. Chen Heng was very used to this kind of day. However, a few days later, something unexpected happened. At a certain moment, the entire manor became very lively.
The number of servants in the manor increased, and everywhere was redecorated. Based on the various circ.u.mstances, it seemed that something unexpected was about to happen. Chen Heng quickly found out about the source of this change through Gunali.
Gunali’s father, the head of the Oriel family, the actual owner of this manor, seemed to be returning soon. This was the information that Chen Heng found out from Gunali.
Chen Heng was very curious about Gunali’s father. Based on the previous situation, it could be seen that Gunali’s family was one of the upper-cla.s.s families on this planet, with an upper-cla.s.s bloodline.
Compared to ordinary people, the members of their families were naturally stronger. Whether it was their appearance, temperament, or talent, they were much more substantial than ordinary people. If not mistaken, Gunali’s unique talent should be brought about by her bloodline. And as the head of the
Oriel family, would Gunali’s father have anything special about him? Chen Heng was very curious regarding this, and he had identified his goal.
One morning, the entire manor started to get busy. Many servants were walking around, busying themselves in the surroundings, ready to welcome them.
It was rare that Gunali did not sleep late. She got up from her bed early in the morning and dressed up beautifully. She put on her princess dress again, looking cute, like a little princess.
“How much longer?” In the quiet room, Gunali sat in the cradle, her two little feet were swaying, and she looked impatient. “It’s almost noon…”
After waiting for so long since she woke up early in the morning, the little girl seemed to have lost her patience. Sitting in the cradle, she chatted with Chen Heng, chattering non-stop. Of course, Gunali was talking most of the time. As for Chen Heng, most of the time, he just listened silently, only
occasionally would he open his mouth and say a few words. Although he was still very silent, at least he was much better than before.
Gunali was also somewhat used to this and did not mind too much. To her, Chen Heng was more like a person she could confide in. In front of Chen Heng, she could say some things in her mind that she did not dare to speak to others. After a long time, both sides had gotten used to it.
Amoment later, there was a commotion outside, and Chen Heng looked out. Through the window sill, he saw that in the distance, there was a car entering the manor from the main gate, heading here.
Gunali jumped down from the cradle and quickly ran out of the room. Chen Heng observed Gunali’s actions and could not help but shake his head. However, after thinking for a moment, he also left the room with Gunali.
When they came to the main gate of the manor, a luxurious car came from outside and slowly stopped. Among them, a man walked down. It was a middle-aged man dressed in a formal suit. He looked very dignified and charming, It could be seen that when he was young, he should have been very
handsome and attractive to the opposite s.e.x.
He got down from the car. His expression was a little indifferent and aloof.
“Father!” Not far away, Gunalis figure ran over and immediately jumped into the arms of the middle-aged man. Looking at Gunali in his arms, the middle-aged man’s expression changed, and he forced a smile.
“Have you been obedient lately?” He looked at Gunali and asked softly. Unexpectedly, the man’s voice was hoa.r.s.e, as if it was forcefully squeezed out, very harsh and unpleasant to the ear.
Hearing his voice, even Gunali raised her head in surprise. Looking at the middle-aged man in front of her, she suddenly felt unfamiliar. But soon, this feeling disappeared. Gunali got along well with her father. It seemed that she soon found the warm feeling of the past. After a moment, the middle-aged
man held Gunali’s hand and slowly walked into the depths of the manor.
Chen Heng stood under a tree in the courtyard and silently watched this scene from the side. Looking at the middle-aged man beside Gunali, Chen Heng subconsciously frowned.
Something was not right. Chen Heng felt that Gunali’s father gave him an extraordinary feeling. His body also had Gunali’s unique bloodline aura, but it was far less dense and obvious than Gunali’s. This was secondary. The key was that there seemed to be another strange aura in Gunali’s father’s body.
That aura gave Chen Heng an extraordinary feeling that he had never felt before.
‘It seems like there’s something wrong…’ Chen Heng looked at Gunali’s father and observed his every move. Then, this thought flashed through his mind.
Under Chen Heng’s observation, Gunali’s father’s various actions seemed strange. Besides, he wore thick clothes despite the hot and refres.h.i.+ng weather. Even though Extraordinary Beings were not afraid of the hot and cold weather, it still seemed abnormal in this weather.
Moreover, some other details were problematic. His voice was even more hoa.r.s.e than ordinary people’s, and his face appeared somewhat dull and cold, rather mechanical. Based on Chen Heng’s observation, many parts of him were strange. Of course, the specific situation was still to be slowly observed.
He didn’t deliberately expose himself in front of the others. Chen Heng did not mind when he was at his peak, but he was still very weak at the moment. His mental distortion was helpful to the weak, but it might not have much effect on Gunali’s father. If he accidentally exposed his traces, it would be a
big problem. Chen Heng walked to the side and followed behind Gunali with this thought in mind.
Of course, he maintained a certain distance. During this process, Chen Heng was also thinking about the information about Gumali’s father. Gunali’s father, Malikado, was the head of the Oriel family and the strongest person in the Oriel family.
This head of the Oriel family was not in the manor most of the time. Instead, he was active in the outside world, suppressing the rebellion. Every time he came back, he would bring a gift to Gunali. It seemed that his relations.h.i.+p with GunNali was very close.
Chen Heng heard the above information in the manor. As for whether it was true or not, he was not sure. After all, until now, he had only woken up for a short period, so he could not find out much. However, the news that Malikado rarely came back should be accurate.

After all, Chen Heng had been awake for almost two months, and this was the first time that Malikado was back in two months.
Under Chen Heng’s gaze, Malikado stayed with Gunali for a while. Then, he asked a servant to bring Gunali down to look at her gifts. As usual, Malikado came back this time with gifts for Gunali.
There were a few exquisitely made princess dresses and exquisite gemstones inlaid on them. Each of them looked priceless..
