Chapter 792 Federal Defense Army Marshal Lin?
After feeding Ying Ying, everyone began to eat.
Nangong Jing and Qiuyue Hesha started their usual quarrels over something as simple as a piece of tofu.
Lin Ling hadn’t managed to recover yet from being caught red-handed a while ago.
Alice, on the other hand, just smiled as she picked food for Lu Ze.
When they were finished eating, the group, feeling satisfied, sat on the couch.
Lu Ze looked at Lu Li, who was all smiles, curiously. “Li, you seem very happy?”
Lu Li grinned broadly. “I reached beginner mastery while learning the Eternal Darkness Mist.”
Nangong Jing almost coughed out her wine. She looked at Lu Li in disbelief. “Beginner mastery?!”
All the other people were also astounded
That was a cosmic cloud state divine art!
Lu Li nodded in confirmation. “That darkness origin crystal is very compatible with my body. It’s very useful for learning divine art. Moreover, brother gave me blue crystals and purple orbs. It took me more than two months to barely reach the beginner mastery.”
Lu Ze smiled. “That’s still astounding. That’s a cosmic cloud state divine art!”
Lu Li beamed with happiness from being complimented.
Lin Ling asked, “How is that Eternal Darkness Mist?”
Lu Li responded, “It’s very good. I’ll show you guys when we return.”

It would be improper to do it now since there was no virtual reality pod here. The rest of the group nodded.
At this moment, Nangong Jing said, “By the way Ze, how about we spar once we get back?”
Lu Ze looked at Nangong Jing in confusion. She was getting c.o.c.ky! Lu Ze probed, “How would we spar?”
Nangong Jing exclaimed, “Of course, it’s us five against you!”
Lu Ze rolled his eyes. “Do you gain so much pride from teaming up against one person?”
Nangong Jing glared at Lu Ze. “So what? Do you want to?”
Lu Ze was overwhelmingly powerful.
‘If I fought him by myself, I will only get bullied to death!’
In order to exact revenge, the five of them had to collaborate together against Lu Ze.
Lu Li enthusiastically chimed in, “I agree with it, sister Jing!”
After learning the Eternal Darkness Mist, she became much more confident.
Qiuyue Hesha wrapped her hair around her finger. “I want to try too.” Lin Ling dared, “Me too. Are you scared now?”
Alice looked at the girls and then at Lu Ze before shrugging in the end. “I agree too.”
Lu Ze raised a brow. “Scared? Am I the type of person who easily gets scared?”
He pointed back at the five young girls and asked, “What if you lose then?”
The girls’ smiles stiffened.
Alice mumbled, “So what if we lose? What do you want to do?”
Although they decided to gang up on him, they were still not fully confident.
Lu Ze grinned and said, “It’s already a five-against-one battle. You still think you will lose?”
Nangong Jing stared daggers at Lu Ze and haughtily remarked, “Then, say it. What’s your condition?” The others also looked at Lu Ze with surging battle intent.
They were prodigies far superior to Luo Bingqing and the rest.
They were prideful.
In addition, if the five of them worked together well, they might not even lose.
Their progress was very significant during this time too.
Lu Ze’s smirked with evil intentions.
This was the first time the five of them challenged him together. ‘How could he waste such opportunity?’
Lu Ze provided, “We’ll decide the punishment for losing later on.”
The five seemed to have thought of something and blushed in embarra.s.sment.
Lu Li indignantly said, “Brother, y-you… can’t do something too over the top!”
Lu Ze tried to a.s.sure her with his smile. “Don’t worry, of course, I won’t.”
‘As long as it wasn’t ‘too’ over the top, it should be fine, right?’
Lu Ze was antic.i.p.ating this already.
He himself wanted to test the boundaries of his power now, after these past few days.

As they were chatting, a robotic voice interrupted, “The s.h.i.+p is about to leave the warp dimension. Everyone, please get ready.” Nangong Jing smiled. “We’re finally home.” It was quite boring to cultivate in the s.h.i.+p during these two months.
There was a flash of white light, and the distorted s.p.a.ce turned into the cosmos.
Vibrant stars shone everywhere.
Despite having seen it so many times before, the universe was still mesmerizing. During this time, there was someone knocking on the door.
Lu Li went to open it.
Zuoqiu Xunshuang was outside. She smiled. “I knew you guys were here.”
Then, she came in and looked at Ying Ying. “The little guy is still not awake?”
Nangong Jing nodded. “Don’t know how long she is going to sleep for.”
Lu Ze added, “She should be waking up
soon.”
Usually, she would fall asleep for a few months. Hence, it shouldn’t be long now.
Most importantly, they had been feeding her orbs every day, so chances were awake soon.

Zuoqiu Xunshuang nodded and glanced cheekily at the group. “The old man was going to come, but I persuaded him not to.”
The girls’ smiles stiffened.
They knew what the old man wanted to do here. It was definitely to encourage them to produce kids.
Thinking about this, they sent death stares at Lu Ze.
Lu Ze: “???”
‘I am very innocent. Isn’t it the old man’s fault? Why glare at him?!’ With an unhappy expression, Nangong Jing looked at Zuoqiu Xunshuang. “Mom, why are you saying this?”
Her face was blus.h.i.+ng red as she asked the question.
Zuoqiu Xunshuang felt great teasing these little girls.
She looked at Lin Ling and said, “We’re about to enter the border of the Federation. Marshal Lin of the Federal Defense Force will be protecting us on the way. Lin Ling, are you going to have a look later?”
Lin Ling’s body stiffened. She looked down and didn’t respond.
Zuoqiu Xunshuang didn’t force her either. She knew about Lin Ling and what she must be feeling right now.
Lu Ze was dazed.
‘Marshal Lin?’
Lin Ling told him before that her father was a high-level officer of the defense force, right?
‘So was it him?’
He recalled how Lin Ling was crying on his shoulder before. He patted her head and said gently, “Go, have a nice chat with him.”
Lu Ze couldn’t really comment on what her father did, but this had happened so many years ago.
Perhaps it was better for them to talk it out.
Lin Ling looked up at Lu Ze and bit her lips. “Mhm.”
Although she didn’t agree with what her father did, she wasn’t much repulsed by it now.
She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
Zuoqiu Xunshuang’s eyes softened. Then, she grinned. “In that case, let’s go to the foyer. They’re about to arrive.”
