In the evening, the Grand Uncle arranged for Lu Chen and Luo Yao to stay in the guesthouse next door.
The snow-covered village looked especially peaceful under the starry sky. Lu Chen sat on the dome roof and looked at the igloo that was lit by fire and extinguished one by one.
It was snowing quietly. Snowflakes fell quietly from the sky. Tomorrow morning, there would be piles of snow in front of each house.
Lu Chen leaned on Rhubarb. "Rhubarb, if I ever retire, living here will be a kind of enjoyment."
Footsteps came from behind. Lu Chen looked back. It was Xue 'er.
Xue 'er sat beside Lu Chen. She had been busy for a long time and didn't have time to chat with Lu Chen.
"Nameless Brother, the Grand Uncle and I will leave this place in spring," Xue 'er suddenly said.
"You're leaving?" Lu Chen looked at Xue 'er in surprise. In the snowy night, under the hazy starlight, Xue' er's side profile was so perfect that it seemed unreal.
Xue 'er lowered her head and smiled helplessly. "The current me has nothing to do with the Ice God, but I'm still a native of the Fifth Heaven. I've seen too many of the native's tragic experiences. At that time, I was the vessel of the Ice God's heart and couldn't do anything. But now, I can truly live for once. "
"I will become stronger for them!"
Lu Chen was quite gratified. Perhaps this was his original intention for saving Xue 'er.
"Live for yourself …" Lu Chen smiled. "Xue 'er, I believe you will become very strong in the future!"
"Nameless Brother, you must be careful when you go to the White Lion Nation. Also, that friend of yours … Although I don't know her purpose, you must be careful. She's not an ordinary person!"
Lu Chen smiled. "I've already seen some things from your and the Grand Uncle's reactions during the day. Since you didn't say anything, you must have your reasons."
"Don't worry."
Sometimes, after being separated for so long, there was a lot to say, but when they really met, they didn't know what to say.
But for true friends, even if the two of them didn't speak and just looked up at the starry sky, they still wouldn't feel awkward.
Unknowingly, perhaps because Xue 'er was tired, she leaned her head on Lu Chen's shoulder. Lu Chen turned his head to look at Xue' er, smiled gently, and then continued to look at the stars …
Not far away, Luo Yao looked at the two silhouettes under the starry sky in a daze.
The closer she got to the prey, the more she realized that this Solipsistic was different from what she had imagined.
Was he really the person who defeated the five experts of the Martial Imperial Manor in three seconds? If he hadn't seen the battle with his own eyes, he wouldn't have been able to tell.
He could play with the children in the village and chat with the mortals who were worthless in his eyes about their boring daily lives.
The Grand Elder and Xue 'er, one was an Earth Cultivator, and the other was a Grand Cultivator. They were at such a low level, but he seemed to be friends with them for many years.
"Solipsistic, I really can't see through you …"
…
The next morning, Lu Chen didn't say goodbye to the Grand Elder and Xue 'er and set off with Luo Yao.
In two days, they would cross the border of the Dong Yue Nation and enter the Baishi Nation!
Luo Xue had changed into another set of clothes today. She was wearing a pink Magician's robe, sexy with a hint of playfulness.
This woman could really wear any kind of style.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to your friends?"
"I already said goodbye to them yesterday. There's no need to say goodbye in person." Lu Chen didn't slow down his pace.
"What are you going to the Baishi Nation for?"
"To look for something." Lu Chen said ambiguously.
Luo Yao also knew that he wouldn't tell her everything, so she didn't ask in detail and changed the topic. "Nameless, do you know about the recent prophecies about the Fifth Heaven?"
"I'm not interested in those things." Lu Chen said directly.
"Many of the Oracles' prophecies will come true. Why don't you believe them?"
Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh. "There was once an Oracle who said that I would die, and then I killed her. If she was so good at prophecy, why didn't she guess that she would die? "
Luo Xue almost vomited blood. This guy was ruthless. He killed an Oracle directly? Although the Oracles couldn't be fought, every country treated them like treasures. Yet, this guy killed the Oracles just because he didn't like what he said …
"Actually, Oracles can't see their own fate," Luo Yao said.
Lu Chen thought for a moment. He didn't think of this possibility at first, but then he shook his head. He had seen the Earth 14 years later, and in that Earth, he was trapped in the Whirlpool World.
However, he had now come out of the Whirlpool World. If such an ending could be changed, what was the point of prophecy?
"I have the final say in my fate. No one else can predict my future."
Luo Yao frowned slightly. "You have quite a personality. Then … do you know about the recent attack on the Dong Yue Nation's spirit veins? "
Speaking of this question, Lu Chen couldn't help but slow down a little. "What do you know?"
Luo Yao shook her head. "The culprit acted too quickly. From the attack to the spirit veins being robbed, it took less than 10 minutes. So I speculated that this was definitely not done by humans. Only Demonic Beasts can do it!"
"They will shatter people and spirit stones, mix them into a liquid and swallow them, and use them to increase their strength!"
Lu Chen looked at Luo Yao in surprise. Her conclusion was the same as his!
However, Luo Yao thought that it was a group of Demonic Beasts acting together, and Lu Chen knew more about it. He now speculated that this matter was most likely done by Demonic Beast Sovereign alone.
"Now that all the spirit stone mines in the Dong Yue Nation are sealed, I guess those unknown Demonic Beasts might go to other countries," Luo Yao said.
Lu Chen didn't express his opinion on this. In his opinion, it didn't matter which country it went to. Anyway, that guy was growing rapidly in this terrifying way.
Perhaps he wouldn't be able to stop its growth in time. He didn't know what kind of terrifying existence he would have to face in the future.
"By the way, do you know about the five ancient spirit veins?" Since this woman was not simple, Lu Chen naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to inquire about it.
"That's too old. A great war broke out thousands of years ago. Many ancient books were destroyed in that catastrophe. It's very difficult for people to get information about the ancient spirit veins from ancient books," Luo Yao said. "Unless it's an old monster that has lived for thousands of years, who knows? Those spirit veins have already disappeared. Why are you asking about this? "
Lu Chen smiled. "History has always been my favorite subject."
The two of them chatted perfunctorily. These two days were not boring at all.
Two days later, Lu Chen and Luo Yao finally crossed the border of the Dong Yue Nation and entered the Baishi Nation.
On the east side of the Baishi Nation were dwarves, beasts, elves, and some other races that had a good relationship with the human race.
Along the way, they often saw caravans of these races coming and going between the two nations to sell goods.
"That's strange. These races shouldn't be weak. Why didn't they seize control of the nation?" Lu Chen asked, puzzled.
"It's a matter of habit." Luo Yao answered casually. "The human race has few strong masters, so they prefer to build up their own forces. These races prefer to work together in small groups. In fact, this is also the reason why the human race has allied with these races. If they encounter a stronger and more united race, the human race won't be able to hold their own for long."
"Oh, by the way, when I said united, of course, I'm talking about the surface. You know, people like to do things behind the scenes …" Luo Yao seemed to have a lot to say about this.
"We've arrived at the Baishi Nation. The border is still okay. If you go deeper, you'd better keep a low profile!" Luo Xue reminded him again. "Especially if you encounter the Nightstalker Tribe. They have a tradition of hunting humans!"
