Chapter 119: Wait for Me to Return and Cherish You

“Good, that’s a relief. Knowing Earth is safe for now puts my mind at ease. I’m about to head to the Absolute Heaven Tower for the trial. If all goes well, Earth should soon be free from the threat of the Yuanlan Empire,” Blue Sky said with a smile after hearing Wang Ling’s report, nodding in agreement. The changes on Earth were entirely within his expectations.

However, for safety’s sake, after some thought, he decided that once he reached Huidu Star and retrieved the legacy of the Battle God, he would purchase an advanced intelligent lifeform to operate one of the three medium-sized starships, sending it alone to Earth to be used by Wang Ling and his parents.

With a medium-class starship, if the Yuanlan Empire’s forces arrived before he completed his trial, Wang Ling and the others wouldn’t necessarily be able to defend themselves outright, but at least they would have a chance to escape.

“Alright, go without worry. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. I believe with your abilities, you’ll be able to protect Earth!” Wang Ling smiled. “By the way, you probably can’t maintain this projection forever, right? You should hurry and visit your uncle and aunt.”

After saying that, she noticed Blue Sky remained still and looked at him, puzzled. Blue Sky was staring intently at her, their gazes meeting, causing her to blush slightly and scold him, “What are you looking at? Go see your uncle and aunt.”

“It’s been so long, I thought I’d admire a beautiful woman~” Blue Sky laughed. “Don’t worry, the projection seems a bit blurry because Earth is so remote and the virtual cosmic network signal is weak—not because of any time limit. In fact, as long as you have money, there’s no time limit on this projection.”

“Ah? The projection costs money? How much?” Wang Ling asked in surprise.

“Of course. The virtual cosmic network isn’t like Earth’s virtual network, and it’s not run by my family~ Using its projection function naturally costs money,” Blue Sky said with a smile. “It’s not expensive—only about 100 universal credits per hour.”

“What?! 100 universal credits an hour isn’t expensive?! That’s like... you’re spending the equivalent of ten Earth currencies every hour!” Wang Ling exclaimed, frowning with concern.

“You spendthrift!” she added, spitting out the words.

“Ha, no worries. Lord Blue Sky here has plenty of money. 100 credits is just a drop in the ocean~” Blue Sky boasted.

“Hmph, you’re just a spendthrift! I don’t want to be friends with you anymore.” Wang Ling rolled her eyes and repeated her words angrily.

“Alright, alright. Since Lady Wang Ling said so, I’ll hurry to see my parents, then set off for Absolute Heaven Star. We’ll talk about everything when I truly return,” Blue Sky said, shaking his head with a smile at her coquettish demeanor.

He knew well that Wang Ling wasn’t truly angry; she was just teasing him.

“I’ll wait for you.” Hearing that Blue Sky was truly leaving, Wang Ling nodded, looking at him with reluctance.

“Well... I’m off then?” Blue Sky said.

“Yeah... I miss you,” Wang Ling nodded, suddenly blushing as she stammered.

“What? Say that again—I didn’t hear you clearly,” Blue Sky feigned confusion.

“Hmph, if you didn’t hear it, never mind. Now go, you’re so annoying!” Seeing his playful act, Wang Ling suddenly became mock-angry. If he weren’t just a projection, she would have punched him right in the chest.

Hmph, her fists were no joke now!

“I miss you too, wait for me,” the beauty said with slight anger, and Blue Sky stopped joking and spoke seriously.

“Alright, be careful. Safety is the most important!” Wang Ling warned.

“Don’t worry, I haven’t truly won your heart yet, how could I afford to get into trouble? When I come back, I’ll lavish you with attention, haha~” Blue Sky winked and before Wang Ling could react, he vanished with a flash.

Wang Ling, clever as she was, was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then realized what had happened, flushing deeply. She spat into the empty void and shouted fiercely,

“You filthy rascal!”

Half a day later, at Lanque Star, the Star Lord’s Mansion meditation chamber.

Blue Sky slowly opened his eyes, a lingering warmth in them—the affection for his parents.

After bidding farewell to Wang Ling, he had found his parents enjoying life in Hawaii. After the surprise of reunion, his parents naturally showered him with care and concern. Even with Blue Sky’s strong will, their ceaseless nagging stirred boundless filial affection within him.

Only after he promised to take good care of himself, to prioritize his safety above all, and to return as quickly as possible, did his parents reluctantly let him go.

“How was it? Did you see them all?” Bai asked. She hadn’t entered the virtual cosmic network with Blue Sky this time and spoke as he opened his eyes.

“Yes, I saw them. The Yuanlan Empire’s forces haven’t arrived yet. For now, Earth is still safe.” Blue Sky nodded.

“That’s good. Come, let me plan your upcoming journey,” Bai said, waving her hand to project a cosmic star map. The star representing Lanque Star was brightly highlighted.

“See these illuminated stars? This is our route ahead. Aside from the initial rest and resupply period needed when we reach Huidu Star, the rest of the journey must not be delayed. The sooner you reach Absolute Heaven Star for your trial, the more secure Earth will be,” Bai explained, pointing out the route.

“Uh... now that we have the money, why don’t we go directly to Absolute Heaven Star after retrieving the Battle God’s treasure from Huidu Star?” Blue Sky frowned deeply, puzzled by the winding path on the star map. “Is it really necessary to take such a detour?”

“It is necessary—very necessary!” Bai nodded seriously. “I’ve considered it. What you said before isn’t without merit. Our emperor isn’t shortsighted. The sudden attack on our master likely means they truly discovered he possesses secret techniques!”

“If the locator on the Chixin Divine Armor hadn’t been activated, it wouldn’t matter. In the vast universe, they would never find our location. But including the time he left Earth, the locator on the Chixin Divine Armor has been activated twice already.”

“Moreover, one activation was on Earth, and the other not far from Earth in space.”

“So I’m certain Earth has already been exposed to the Yuanlan Empire’s gaze. We must quickly activate the locator on the Chixin Divine Armor to let them know it’s currently within the Yuanlan Empire’s territory. Otherwise, they will definitely come to Earth, and it’s highly likely they’ll pay a great price to teleport directly!”
