Age of Evolution

Chapter 199 - 199: 199: Finally Meeting You (Guaranteed 2nd Update)

During this time, whether people or insects, all would hide from the rain.

In the northern part of Lake Heart Tree, a winding river swelled with high waters. Several Martial Artists were hiding from the rain in a shallow tree hollow.

“Brother Li, we’ve been in the Star Fruit Tree’s area for nearly half a year, staying in this northern region the whole time. But the Star Crystals here are too scarce. When will we venture to the areas around the Beehive and Ant

Nest?” A Martial Artist with a somewhat childish face asked a man beside him.

The other man, not much older but a Four-level War General, appeared much more mature. He said to the person beside him: “It’s not the right time yet. Haven’t you heard? There’s a war going on over there, which seems to be a major battle between old powers within the Star Fruit Tree. If we were to rashly get involved, we’d undoubtedly be cannon fodder. With our limited strength, we should focus on surviving here safely first.”

“Brother Li, you’re well-informed. You’ve even been to the southern and eastern regions. Are those people from the old powers really that powerful? Aren’t they War Generals just like us?” The young man continued to ask.

He chuckled. ‘You’re really ignorant. There’s a large difference between War

Generals. Let me tell you, this battle is between a long-time ruler of the Star

Fruit Tree and Little Overlord, Yue Feng, and the newly rising ruler Lin Zhen.

Although they are both War Generals, their abilities far surpass average War Gods. We, as we are, wouldn’t even be enough for them to pinch.” “They’re that powerful?!” The young Martial Artists were all quite shocked.

“The battle between these two rulers must be for the position of power and the Star Crystals,” one Martial Artist guessed.

Brother Li laughed with pride. It was clear that he knew much more than these newcomers. “Hehe, you guessed wrong again.”

“If it’s not for the position of power, then what is it for?”

“For a woman!” Brother Li answered decisively.

“No way! They’re already so powerful. Once they leave the Star Fruit Tree, they can have as many women as they want. Is it really worth it to fight to the death for a single woman?

“You have no idea. That’s no ordinary woman. That is the Saintess of the Divine Sect, the most beautiful woman in the world and also the most talented.”

At this time, one of the Martial Artists didn’t quite believe it. He had seen a woman fly past the forest towards the depths of the northern part yesterday. Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, the woman’s beauty had shocked him, and as a result, he hadn’t slept all night. Even now, he was still somewhat listless.

No matter how beautiful the Saintess might be, she couldn’t be more beautiful than the woman he saw yesterday. He firmly believed this, but he did not share it with the others.

Brother Li continued, “It’s said that the Saintess likes Lin Zhen, but the Little Overlord has imprisoned her in the Sky Dome, trying to force her to submit. Of course, Lin Zhen cannot tolerate this. If he doesn’t even dare to save his own woman, then he’s not fit to be a Martial Artist. So, after bitter training, he went to the Sky Dome to rescue her. By now, the results of the battle should be known.’

“Hmm… If that’s the case, I hope Lin Zhen can win,” one Martial Artist said.

“It’s hard to say. I can’t guess the outcome of this matter, and we don’t need to worry about it. It’s enough to live our lives well. Those big shots’ matters are none of our business. I think the north doesn’t seem safe either. The meteor passing by today was really terrifying.”

“Yeah, it scared me to death. Fortunately, it wasn’t aimed at us but went deep into the northern region instead.”

The Martial Artists looked at the sky, still feeling lingering fear. The starlight streaking across was unstoppable. If it were to hit someone, they’d be dead for sure.

“Crack! ”

A thunderclap sounded, and suddenly a figure appeared in front of the tree hollow, soaked through by the rain.

“You… who are you?” The Martial Artists were startled, as the person in front of them had a very strong aura. This was not a War General anymore; they were clearly a War God!

Weren’t War Gods unable to enter the Star Fruit Tree? Why would a War God appear here?

The person spoke, “Did you say that a streak of starlight passed by here?”

“Ah… yes… It happened earlier today…” One of the Martial Artists stuttered in reply.

The figure scanned through them, and the aura in his eyes sent chills down their spines. Finally, his gaze landed on a Martial Artist in the corner. “Your heart is trembling. What did you see?”

The Martial Artist felt as if his innermost secrets were on the verge of being exposed under that gaze, but he didn’t want to reveal his secret. The person in front of him seemed dangerous, and if he were to say something, would his goddess be hurt?

He pursed his lips tightly, not making a sound.

“Tell me everything you know… Be obedient…” The person in front of him sneered, and a sudden flash of golden light appeared in his eyes. The Martial Artist only felt a burst of sharp pain in his mind as the words entered his ears like a devil’s whisper, causing him to involuntarily spill all of his most deeply buried secrets.

“When I was eleven, I peeked at my cousin while she was bathing… Her chest was so big, and my saliva dripped onto her underwear.”

“When I was thirteen, my dad beat me, so I secretly put a scorpion in his bed. It stung his private parts, which swelled up huge. For the next half-month, it hurt so much that he would yell every time he used the bathroom. I never dared to tell anyone about this…”

The person on the other side seemed to be getting impatient: “Get to the point!

What did you see yesterday?”

“A very beautiful woman… Went north… I’m a little worried about the starlight…”

Whoosh!

The person in front of them had already disappeared, vanishing into thin air. The other Martial Artists were dumbfounded.

“That scared me to death! How strong was their aura? Who was that person?” One Martial Artist peeked out of the tree hollow but did not see any figures.

Because of the heavy rain, he quickly pulled his head back and saw Brother Li’s face pale. He asked anxiously, “Brother Li, what’s wrong with you?”

“Thank heaven, thanks to the fact that we didn’t say anything bad about Lin Zhen a moment ago. If I’m not mistaken, this person must be the legendary genius of the 497th generation, Lin Zhen. Only he could use such a ghostly instant movement, it’s absolutely impossible to be wrong.”

“Ah! So this is Lin Zhen!” Several martial artists were stunned, never expecting to see such a big figure here.

They had thought that such a legendary figure would look like some kind of monster with three heads and six arms, but he seemed to be about the same age as them and quite handsome. If it weren’t for that incredibly powerful aura, he would even look like the boy next door.

So, the woman who went to the North must be Su Mingyue.

Having heard the news on the road, Lin Zhen’s guess was finally confirmed.

Sure enough, Su Mingyue had gone there, and Star Strike was also chasing her.

After being reminded by Zhao Xiaoman, Lin Zhen suddenly thought that Su Mingyue might have gone to that place where he had practiced his spear technique by the pool, as they had spent a not too short time there together.

Understanding this, Lin Zhen gradually recalled that when they left, Su Mingyue had gently said, “I think I will definitely come back here, you must remember.”

At that time, Lin Zhen didn’t take it to heart. Now thinking about it, it was for hinn tn h’•nr

“My silly girl, you must be fine… you must be fine.”

Moving swiftly under the recovery of Radiant Power, Lin Zhen’s short-range teleportation was almost continuous, with no gaps. No matter how dense the branches and leaves were, they couldn’t block the teleportation’s progress.

It used to take almost a day to walk from Lake Heart Tree to the Northern Region, but now it took Lin Zhen almost just an hour.

After a teleportation, Lin Zhen appeared above the pool.

Standing in the air on a liquid metal shield, Lin Zhen looked around. The surrounding storm was pouring down, tree branches swaying, and lightning and thunder roared like the end of the world. There was no sign of Su Mingyue.

“Ming Yue! Yue’er! …where are you!”

Lin Zhen shouted loudly, but the thunder in the sky drowned out his voice.

With a forceful push, Lin Zhen flew around on his shield, searching every corner. He believed Su Mingyue was here, and she must be alright.

“Ah! Over here!”

During his low-altitude flight, Lin Zhen suddenly saw a white skirt corner, hidden under a huge flower petal, leaning against a tree.

Teleporting to that spot, Lin Zhen lifted the flower petal with one hand.

Su Mingyue’s long hair was soaked, clinging tightly to her face and chest. Her whole body was drenched by the rain, and her godly robe was plastered against her exquisite curves.

Her eyes were tightly closed, and her pretty face pale, making her look incredibly frail and helpless amidst the wind and rain.

Lin Zhen held Su Mingyue with one hand, her body cold to touch. He didn’t know if it was from the rain or if she had lost her body temperature.

“Yue’er, Ming Yue, open your eyes and look. It’s me, Lin Zhen. I’ve come to find you.”

With both hands clutching her shoulders, Lin Zhen was filled with urgency. What had happened to Su Mingyue? The cold rain made it difficult to feel her body temperature, yet he couldn’t see any wounds, her life or death uncertain.

Approaching Su Mingyue’s face, Lin Zhen tried to feel her breath.

But at that moment, Su Mingyue’s big eyes suddenly opened slightly.

“Yue’er, are you alright?” The surprise in Lin Zhen’s heart was almost overwhelming. He had been somewhat desperate when he arrived, knowing that Su Mingyue was defenseless against the Star Strike. Yet she was alive, making him extremely happy.

“Lin Zhen…” Su Mingyue murmured, seemingly very weak.

“It’s me, it’s me. I’ve come to look for you, Ming Yue. It’s okay now.”

“Lin Zhen, wu wu…” Su Mingyue suddenly threw herself into Lin Zhen’s arms, her body shaking violently, crying inconsolably.

This startle made Lin Zhen very nervous. Had Star Strike caused some irreparable damage to Su Mingyue after all?

Breaking out in a cold sweat, Lin Zhen pushed Su Mingyue away to examine her: “Yue’er, don’t scare me. What kind of injury have you got?”

Su Mingyue’s tears flowed silently, and her saintly demeanor prevented her from being too hysterical when crying. She slowly stretched out a small white jade hand, revealing a small mirror with faint cracks in her palm.

“My Star-gazing Mirror is broken, my Star-gazing Mirror was broken by the Star Strike…” Silent tears continued to flow from her eyes. After so long in the storm, when she saw Lin Zhen, her girlhood nature was revealed. All her pain and grievances were released at this moment.

Lin Zhen knew how important the Star-gazing Mirror was, as it was even a weapon against extraterrestrial civilizations in the future. But at this moment, Lin Zhen embraced Su Mingyue, looked up to the sky, and let out a long breath, allowing the rain to beat down on his face: “It’s good that it’s broken.. It’s so f*cking good!”
