220 Good Son-in-Law! (1/2)
”The Hengliu galaxy?”
”The Hengliu galaxy. Isn't that the one mentioned in the letter the top Dharma adept from the Honglong planet of the Tianma galaxy gave me? He mentioned an enemy in that letter, isn't that where that enemy is from?”
Zhou Donghuang remembered very clearly that the nemesis of that supreme Dharma adept was currently a Primordial Soul adept from a Fireism sect, somewhere in the vast wilderness of the Hengliu galaxy—Gong Sunling.
And Fireism—it was obvious from its name that this was a sect that prided itself on its religious teachings.
”Grandmother, I'm not waiting for her any longer. If she comes back, tell her that I'm also at the Hengliu galaxy. We'll probably meet there very soon if everything goes well,” Zhou Donghuang told Li Yu, then used his inner Yuan to pass the stack of papers in his hand over to Li Yu.
”This is my betrothal gift, Grandmother.”
Right after he said that, Zhou Donghuang hurriedly bid Li Yu and Luo Wuchen goodbye. He then turned to leave and prepared to head to the galaxy teleporter nearby to head to the Hengliu galaxy!
Then he was gone with the wind. Li Yu and Luo Wuchen only recovered after his silhouette had completely disappeared from their sight.
”What an impatient brat!” Luo Wuchen chided softly under his breath.
”I think the way he does things is rather up my alley, actually.”
Li Yu smiled a little.
”Mother-in-law!”
There was a bitter smile on Luo Wuchen's face. ”Why did you entrust Qinghan to him so recklessly? It's not just that, we haven't even talked this through with Qinghan yet, so how do you know if she'll be up for this?”
”'Recklessly'?”
Li Yu shook her head. Her eyes were filled with a certain wisdom. ”You think that I, Li Yu, am a reckless person?
”Haven't you always wanted to know what exactly had happened to Qinghan that time she went out a few years back and came back a new person armed with a newfound sense of martial talent?” Li Yu stared firmly at Luo Wuchen and asked.
”Yes.”
Luo, Wuchen nodded. ”I asked that girl a few times but she always changed the topic. She didn't want to tell me.”
”It's normal that she didn't want to tell you. Though you're her father, you're also a man. There are just some differences between men and women.”
Li Yu asked, ”Did Donghuang tell you about the thing between him and Qinghan? You wouldn't have sent someone to me for confirmation if he didn't, right?”
”Yes.”
Luo Wuchen nodded. ”At first, I knew about the issue with He Meng of the He Family where he drugged Qinghan, but I didn't know that Qinghan had suffered that much after that.”
Luo Wuchen was aware that Luo Qinghan had gone with his mother-in-law who was standing in front of him now to murder the first lady of the He Family, He Meng, that year.
Luo Wuchen fell into a shocked silence when he heard Li Yu's response. It took him a while to shake himself out of his stupor, and he stared at Li Yu in disbelief.
”Mother-in-law, so what you're saying is...is that Zhou Donghuang, the one of noble blood who's supernaturally talented and far superior to Qinghan, all of which was the reason why her martial talent underwent such a drastic transformation?”
In this boundless universe, the blood that flowed through human beings were not all that different at the start.
But some people eventually succeeded in improving themselves, and so their blood would undergo a subtle transformation and improve in the same way the body did.
The coupling of those people brought about descendants whose blood was naturally better than others.
When one of the two people who coupled had far better blood than the other, and when that person in question was still a boy or a virgin, the martial talent of the other in the pair would undergo a dramatic transformation.
Luo Wuchen knew this well.
”Yes.”
Li Yu nodded.
”Is there a possibility that Qinghan had any other encounters?
Luo Wuchen followed up.
”It's impossible.”
Li Yu shook her head. ”Qinghan told me every single thing about that incident that happened that time, and she didn't leave a single thing out. I can conclude from her account that the transformation of her martial talent is intrinsically linked to Donghuang.
”There's just this one thing. Back then, Qinghan had mentioned that Donghuang was only a Qi-Gathering adept, which really puzzled me. But we know now that certain circumstances had made for Donghuang to still be a Qi-Gathering adept when he was already around sixteen to seventeen years old.
”However, it's obvious that Donghuang's talents have fully developed in the past few years, or there's no way he would be a Golden Essence adept at this age.
”On top of that, his inner Yuan is so powerful, much more superior to that of the average Golden Essence adept. It's so powerful that some people find it difficult to believe just how strong it is. Come to think of it, he's barely half a step away from the Dharma stage.”
Luo Wuchen could only listen silently to Li Yu as she spoke.
”I was initially rather puzzled: How could someone of such good blood exist on a small planet in the stars with no galaxy teleporter? But Donghuang answered my question earlier.”
When Li Yu opened her mouth to speak again, her eyes were gleaming. ”Donghuang had only grown up on Ziyun; he's not a child of that planet. He was abandoned on Ziyun by his birth father.
”Qinghan is blessed to be able to be in this marriage with him.”
”I can also tell that Donghuang has a maturity and stability uncharacteristic of people his age, and he's really responsible, even if a little quiet. This will not be a loss for Qinghan.”
Li Yu's spoke at length, not the least bit stingy with her praises for Zhou Donghuang. Luo Wuchen felt a little jealous as he listened to her speak. This mother-in-law of his had never praised him like this!
Jealous as he was, he was still rather careful when it came to the issue of his daughter's marriage.
He was finally able to put his mind at ease after hearing Li Yu's analysis.
