The Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy

The excitement brought about by the Spiritual Academy Competition still showed no signs of fading almost 10 days after it ended. The whole spiritual academy was immersed in an enthusiastic and cheerful atmosphere.

The spiritual academy also did not stop the joyous celebrations among the students but instead allowed them to celebrate freely. Clearly, even the elders in the academy were equally overjoyed in their hearts. After all, the academy had not attained such good results in a long time, except during its establishment, when the academy was at its strongest.

After many years of suppression, they could finally feel proud for once.

…

In the headquarters of the Goddess Luo Association…

On a tall mountain peak, lush greenery filled the place. Looking down from the peak, one could see the entire Goddess Luo Association. The huge training field there was fully occupied with people.

The place was similarly enveloped in delight.

On the top of the peak, a young man lay quietly on the grass. The gentle wind blew over the grass and rubbed against his face. The lazy and warm feeling made him close his eyes uncontrollably.

He was enjoying the peace there. It was a luxurious enjoyment that could not be afforded in the half-year-long Spiritual Academy Competition. Only after the intense, extremely stressful competition could one understand how precious the moment was.

As the wind blew, a pleasant aroma was carried with it.

Wearing a green dress, the elegant-looking girl quietly went beside the young man. She stared at the smart face and her lips curved up slightly. Then, her slim fingers plucked out a tuft of grass and gently rubbed it against Mu Chen’s face.

The itchy feeling caused Mu Chen to lazily open his eyes. Staring at the jade-like girl in front of him, he also grinned and extended his arm towards her skinny waist.

Seeing this, Luo Li, however, nimbly backed off. Her gorgeous face stared at Mu Chen mischievously and said, “The whole academy is celebrating. You are the main character and yet you are alone.”

“I am really too tired.” Mu Chen pushed himself up slightly and leaned against a giant rock as a somewhat resigned smile appeared on his face.

Upon seeing his smile, Luo Li, who originally wanted to tease him, felt quite sorry for him. She squatted down beside him and the look from her clear, crystal-like eyes turned gentler.

“You already did a great job. Do you know… the moment you became the champion, I also felt proud of you,” Luo Li said softly. The tenderness in her eyes could melt even a man with a heart of stone.

Hearing the gentle, pleasant voice, the resigned smile on Mu Chen’s face also faded slowly and was replaced by an indescribable emotion and extreme satisfaction.

In his eyes, even a thousand praises from outsiders were less than the gentle stare from the girl before him.

“Luo Li…”

“Hm?” the girl replied, beaming.

“Let’s hug.” Mu Chen smiled and extended his arms.

Luo Li’s face blushed slightly and she shook her head. “No.”

“But I want to!” Mu Chen immediately jumped up. His arms quickly seized the girl’s slim waist and he forcefully pushed her onto the grass, holding her down beneath his body.

Looking at the familiar face right before her and smelling the breath blowing against her face, Luo Li’s face turned completely red. She raised her fist and patted him in embarrassment. “Pervert.”

Mu Chen did not do anything else. Instead, he lowered his head and quietly stared at the pretty, delicate face. Unknowingly, the girl was also starting to become increasingly beautiful. Her temperament was even more shockingly charming, which caused Mu Chen to be slightly dazed. While he was growing, the girl in front of him was also gradually transforming.

Maybe sooner or later, the immaturity of the girl would disappear completely and she would become the real queen of the billions of citizens in the Luo God Clan. By that time, she would perhaps be reputed in the whole Great Thousand World.

She had advantages that ordinary people could not compete with. Her talent was not weaker than anyone else’s and in addition, there was the entire Luo God Clan behind her. Sometimes, even Mu Chen could feel the difference between her and himself.

Although he had an extremely strong mother, that did not bring any substantial benefits to him but rather, many threats.

However, Mu Chen did not once complain about this because over the years, he had relied only on his own efforts to progress. He knew from a long time ago that if he just relied on such blessings, he would never become a real sovereign.

Luo Li, who had already closed her eyes and was waiting for Mu Chen to mess about, realized that the latter did not show any signs of acting indecently. Only then did she open her eyes and stare at the handsome face.

His look was somewhat dazed and changing quietly. But eventually, he still smiled warmly, his smile filled with confidence.

Seeing this smile, Luo Li bit her red lips lightly and showed a rare sight of behaving like a sunny teenage girl. That was because the vigor and confidence that Mu Chen had just displayed was what she liked the most.

“Luo Li, you should be leaving soon, right?” Mu Chen’s finger slid across Luo Li’s white face as he said in a soft tone.

The girl beneath him trembled a little and her glass-like eyes also instantly dimmed. She did not say anything about it, but Mu Chen was still sensitive enough to notice it.

Gazing at Mu Chen’s face, she said softly, “This time, my grandfather only gave me two years. Now, the period has already been exceeded…”

Her eyes were growing more dim. She knew that once they parted, it would be uncertain when they could meet next. Although she had always wanted to be with Mu Chen, she could not do so because she was not alone. She was the future queen of the Luo God Clan, and she also had the countless members of the clan who had guarded the place for many years.

“Mu Chen… I’m sorry…”

Luo Li bit her lips tightly and her eyes were slightly red because she knew that while Mu Chen might try to catch up with her in the future, the path was filled with challenges and obstructions. She understood well that in order for an ordinary man to rise in the endless Great Thousand World, he had to pay a painful price.

There were too many geniuses in the world, and the Great Thousand World was really very vast. Many a time, some so-called geniuses disappeared before they could even be noticed.

Those who could stand out in the Great Thousand World were the ones who had undergone intense training again and again. However, many people lost their original selves in the many challenges.

Thus, if it were possible, she would prefer Mu Chen to stay ordinary. At least in this way, his face would always be covered in that sunny smile, and not be injured while trying to follow her steps.

At such times, she should have stayed beside him, but…

Looking at Luo Li’s slightly red eyes, Mu Chen, however, smiled and said, “Although I want to keep you at my side, that would be too selfish. I know that you care about me, but… if you can temporarily put down the Luo God Clan and come to my side just for me, what reasons do I have to not work hard for you?

“Luo Li, I like you. Although the Luo God Clan may be too far away from me now, and I cannot make your grandfather and clan members recognize me—they may even suspect your taste and think that you only fell in love with an ordinary kid with good luck—but…”

Mu Chen stared at Luo Li’s emotional eyes and said softly, “Trust me. One day, I will go to the Luo God Clan. By then, I will let everyone know that what you have found is not a usual stone in the desert, but a diamond brighter than all the other stones.

“And for that day… I will put in everything I have.”

Luo Li’s hand covered her mouth, and her charming eyes were starting to turn watery. However, the depths of her eyes were only filled with affection and joy. She nodded hard.

“Alright, don’t just think about me. In the Luo God Clan, it will also not be easy for you. But no matter what happens, you must remember, wait for me!” Mu Chen said with a smile as he wiped away the tears on Luo Li’s delicate face with his fingertips.

“I will definitely go to the Luo God Clan and find you. I will use this as a promise.”

Mu Chen pulled Luo Li’s hand away and lowered his head slightly, kissing her rosy lips.

They were as cool and smooth as jade.

As the gentle wind blew, the girl, full of emotion, also reached out her thin arms and held them around the young man’s neck and offered her bright lips. The blush on her extraordinarily beautiful face became the nicest view on the peak.

…

In the few days that followed, Mu Chen and Luo Li stayed together like peas and carrots. At the moment, they were the most eye-catching couple in the entire Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy. Whenever people saw them, their eyes would be filled with admiration.

However, they did not notice that as the days passed, Luo Li’s originally brisk smile turned unknowingly somewhat dull.

Even though she also wanted to look happy, it was difficult for her to keep calm.

This slight unhappiness continued until the eighth day.

On the training platform at the Goddess Luo Association headquarters…

Mu Chen and Luo Li sat back to back on the tall rock, looking leisurely at the association members below cultivating and training. Seeing the intimate behavior between the two, everyone had heartfelt admiration for them.

Luo Li’s hand was holding Mu Chen’s lightly and a smile could be seen on her face. They kept in this position, until the sun began to set and its red light shone on the ground.

Suddenly, Luo Li’s hand trembled slightly.

Mu Chen felt something.

Turning her head, Luo Li did a rare act of actively kissing Mu Chen’s face in front of everyone. Then, she stood up and lifted her head, staring at the sky in the distance.

The space there suddenly started to distort violently and eventually turned into a huge space vortex. Everyone saw that inside the vortex, a huge shadow traveled across space. A burly figure slowly appeared in the sky, stepping out as if it could cover the entire sun.

The whole Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy was covered under that godlike figure.

Looking at Luo Li’s face, Mu Chen already knew that the figure should be the ruler of the Luo God Clan, who was also Luo Li’s grandfather and a superbeing who had reached the Earthly Sovereign level.

Luo Tianshen.
