Chapter 853 Good At Hurting People’s Hearts

After the races from the Demon Realm left, Elder Nangong looked at Lu Ze and the girls and said, “You guys had a long day. Go get some rest.”

He still needed to deal with the other races from the Elf Cosmic Realm.

Zuoqiu Xunshuang nodded.

He looked at Lu Ze and the girls before signaling, “Let’s go get some rest.”

Lu Ze and the girls agreed.

When all the humans had departed the place, only the trio, who was headed by Elder Nangong, along with the other races were left behind.

The golden-robed man looked in Lu Ze’s direction and smiled. “Nangong, I didn’t expect your race to have a prodigy like him. This talent is really making us envious.”

“Yeah, he probably has an extremely higher chance of becoming a cosmic cloud state. By then, your race can finally ascend above others.”

“Yes, our Magnetic Race is going to excavate a few cosmic regions. If you’re interested, how about a collaboration between us?”

“By the way, our Poly Race also has a few projects to undertake. We are considering cooperation. Can we have a talk?”.

Several races had expressed their desire to establish a collaboration with the Human Race.

They didn’t have strong ties with the Human Race. Some might have a minor conflict of interest. Regardless, with the possible rise of the Human Race at hand, they decided to build a good foundation now.

The relations between races were always decided by interest.

Of course, the number of beings who truly wanted to cooperate with the Human Race and hidden enemies who wanted to assassinate Lu Ze was unknown.

The trio, with Elder Nangong on the lead, was surrounded by the cosmic system states. Their faces were full of smiles.

Most of the races present weren’t inferior to the Human Race. There were a few beings who were much superior to the human race as well.

Usually, they didn’t receive much attention.

But now, several factions had manifested their desperation to provide benefits to the Human Race.

All of these changes in treatment were brought about by the promising future of Lu Ze.

“Sure thing… let’s discuss that slowly.”

“How about we have a seat and chat?” the trio offered.

Most of the humans returned to planet Zhihuo to rest. Likewise, Lu Ze and the girls proceeded to their suite. Zuoqiu

Xunshuang followed suit. Alice giggled. “Everyone is hungry, right? I’ll cook.” She didn’t forget to drag Lu Li and Lin Ling into the kitchen.

On the couch, Zuoqiu Xunshuang hit Lu Ze’s head and said unhappily, “Ze, you little shit, you didn’t even tell me clearly at the start. I was so scared!”

This was a beating from his mother-in-law. Lu Ze didn’t dare to avoid it.

He wanted to explain back then, but he didn’t expect the insectoid lair to approach at a rapid rate.

Zuoqiu Xunshuang rolled her eyes.

She was quite curious about Lu Ze’s silver lightning

It enabled him to unleash such terrifying power.

However, she didn’t probe further because Lu Ze didn’t mention it. She knew he had some secrets he needed to keep.

Besides, Lu Ze was a good kid. He was nice to the Human Race and Jing Jing.

Nangong Jing put Zuoqiu Xunshuang’s hand away with annoyance. “Mom, why are you hitting him? He saved so many humans in planet Zhihuo.”

Even her own mother wasn’t allowed to bully Lu Ze like that!

Zuoqiu Xunshuang: “???”

After dinner, Elder Nangong and the seniors didn’t visit the group. Lu Ze and the girls went to cultivate in their own rooms.

Zuoqiu Xunshuang had post-battle matters to attend to, so she left.

Lu Ze took the fox demon into the Pocket Hunting Dimension for another bout of hunting. After they both died, he began with his own cultivation.

He was about to break through, but he didn’t choose to do it now.

A lot of races were still within the vicinity. The phenomenon he would produce this time would be eye-catching. It was best to keep a low-profile

Lu Ze started learning god art instead.

The next morning, right after breakfast, someone knocked on their door.

Alice went to open it accordingly.

It was Elder Nangong and Zuoqiu Xunshuang.

Alice greeted, “Hello Elder, Aunty Xunshuang.” Elder Nangong entered with a grin pasted on his face. He seemed to be in a good mood.

Lu Ze asked, “Elder, are those guys gone?”

Elder Nangong confirmed. “The insectoid lair has been destroyed, but there are still some insectoids in their region to be dealt with. But… they all intend to collaborate with us. We’ve even made a few plans.”

He looked at Lu Ze. “This is all because of you.”

Lu Ze: “???”

‘But he hasn’t done anything yet?’

Elder Nangong explained, “It’s only natural for them to do so. You revealed your potential yesterday. Hence, they are investing in us by establishing a relationship. We should thank that prodigy from the Blade Demon Race. He helped us a lot.”

Lu Ze and the girls: “…”

They wondered how angry that prodigy would be if he knew.

Nangong Jing and the girls looked at Lu Ze with joy and pride.

Then, Elder Nangong asked in confusion, “What happened yesterday? Where is Ying Ying?”

He could finally ask about the matter he was bothered with.

Lu Ze answered, “Ying Ying is sleeping.”

Elder Nangong’s face stiffened. “Is it really a cosmic cloud state passerby who annihilated the insectoid lair?”

Lu Ze scratched his head. “Um, I did that.”

“… what?” Elder Nangong gawked at Lu Ze.

Zuoqiu Xunshuang nodded. “Um… he’s right. It was him.”

Nangong Jing grinned. “Didn’t expect it to be him, did you, grandpa?”. Lu Ze smiled. “Mhm… yes, it’s something from that god art of mine…”

Elder Nangong’s and Zuoqiu Xunshuang’s mouths twitched.

‘That god art again?’

‘What is that god art?’

‘Why did it have everything?’

During this time, Lu Ze’s eyes lit up. He relayed, “Elder, I’m planning to break through to the star state tomorrow.”

Elder Nangong was still pondering the difference between Alice’s god art and Lu Ze’s, so he subconsciously answered, “Oh, that’s great.”

Suddenly, he ended up dumbfounded.

‘Wait!’

‘Star state?!

He looked at Lu Ze with wide eyes. “You’re going to make another breakthrough again?!” Lu Ze: “…”

Why did he say ‘again’?

This was his first time breaking through to the star state.

Zuoqiu Xunshuang heard it yesterday. This kid was truly good at hurting people’s hearts.

Lu Ze laughed it off at Elder Nangong’s reaction. “Yes, Jing Jing and Hesha broke through already. I can’t drag on for too long, right?”

Elder Nangong and Zuoqiu Xunshuang: “…”

Lu Ze smiled. “After I break through, the red orbs should possess higher quality. You can have a try then.”

Elder Nangong frowned. “I’m in no rush. Since there are higher-quality orbs, make sure you can cultivate first. I’m old, I can afford to wait.”

Lu Ze laughed. This was very Elder Nangong.

He smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry, Elder Nangong.”

He looked at Zuoqiu Xunshuang. “There should be a surplus of orbs, so Aunty Xunshuang can use them too.”

Zuoqiu Xunshuang’s eyes widened with joy. “Really? It won’t affect your cultivation?”

Lu Ze smiled. “Don’t worry, it won’t.”

Zuoqiu Xunshuang’s cultivation level wasn’t that high. Level-1 star state orbs should be enough for her.

He had a lot stocked in his inventory.

Zuoqiu Xunshuang almost jumped up and looked blissfully at Lu Ze. “You’re my good son-in-law indeed!”

Elder Nangong grinned too.

In the beginning, he was accompanied by eleven other old fellows. They had led the Human Race for 2000 years. Some were dead, and some were injured.

Only four of them remain now.

Sometimes, he felt exhausted already, but they couldn’t fall.

This time around though, he felt life was worth it.

He could see with his own eyes the Human Race growing stronger!

This was a pleasure to witness.

Elder Nangong smiled. “In that case, you decide.”

Lu Ze smiled and nodded.

At this moment, Elder Nangong had another idea.
