On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

Wait a little longer?

Everyone felt a deep sense of despair.

They knew it in their hearts.

This wait could last a lifetime.

They might all be dead before Lu Chuan even returns.

But they can't force Lu Chuan to his death just because they want to live.

Looking at these elderly people, Lu Chuan nodded emphatically again, making his promise.

"I will definitely come back."

"wait for me!"

"You all must live!!!"

Without saying another word, he transformed into a crimson streak of light, soaring into the sky and heading straight for the South City.

……

Several more days passed.

South City Villa.

Lu Chuan had just returned and was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Liu Fuyao, Shangguan Yue, Hu Mei, Su Ling'er, Sun Miaoyin, Medusa, Yinshuang, Huangfu Mingzhu.

All the women were sitting opposite him.

The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Just now, Lu Chuan had recounted his journey to Xiniu Hezhou and Beiju Luzhou to search for medicine.

"I may not be back for many years."

"In short, eight or nine years."

"If it's long, it could take ten or twenty years."

The women all fell silent, their emotions extremely complex, none of them wanting Lu Chuan to leave.

But they also knew that this matter was of great importance.

It concerns the lives of dozens of martial venerables of the human race, and even the future and destiny of the entire human race.

They had no right to dissuade Lu Chuan; they could only live in fear and anxiety.

"Honey, you have to be careful."

Liu Fuyao's voice trembled.

Lu Chuan sighed.

He stood up, gently embraced Liu Fuyao and Shangguan Yue, then turned to look at Hu Mei, Medusa, and Yinshuang.

"My fate is uncertain once I embark on this journey."

"Those of you who wish to leave may leave now."

Lu Chuan raised his hand.

Three drops of semen were forced out from his fingertips.

"I will now terminate our master-servant contract."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his finger.

The three drops of blood essence vanished into the air in an instant.

Hu Mei, Medusa, and Yinshuang all shuddered at the same time.

They could clearly feel that the shackles binding the depths of their souls had disappeared.

Medusa and Silverfrost were stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chuan actually dissolved their contract.

Silverfrost was alright, as she had originally volunteered, but Medusa had longed for this day when she would never have freedom.

But now the contract has truly been dissolved.

She didn't know what to do either.

"Owner!"

Just then, a heart-wrenching cry broke the silence.

Hu Mei rushed over like a cannonball and grabbed Lu Chuan's leg.

"Waaaaah..."

"Little fox, don't go!"

"The little fox must always stay with its master!"

Hu Mei cried her eyes out, clinging tightly to Lu Chuan's leg.

"The little fox is still waiting to give its owner a nudge on the bottom!"

"Master, you can't abandon me!"

This shameless remark came out.

The previously somber and oppressive atmosphere in the living room was instantly dispelled by more than half.

Su Ling'er couldn't help herself.

He burst out laughing.

Liu Fuyao and Shangguan Yue also looked at Hu Mei speechlessly.

But Hu Mei didn't care what others thought; she just buried her face in Lu Chuan's trouser leg and cried uncontrollably.

She truly couldn't bear to part with Lu Chuan.

Although she is usually carefree, she is very perceptive.

Master is now a Nine-Star Martial Venerable.

Even a Nine-Star Martial Venerable felt it was dangerous and wanted to terminate the contract early for fear of implicating them.

That must be incredibly dangerous. The thought of her master possibly dying outside made Hu Mei's heart ache terribly.

She hasn't become a concubine to her master yet.

next moment.

Medusa exchanged a glance with Silverfrost, then stepped forward and knelt on one knee before Lu Chuan.

"I am willing to fight to the death for my master."

They didn't say much, but their attitude was clear.

Lu Chuan looked at Hu Mei, who was clinging to his lap, and then at the two women kneeling in front of him, and felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He reached out and ruffled Hu Mei's hair helplessly.

"Alright, stop crying. I'm not going to my death."

"I promise I'll come back alive, and when I do, you'll still be the head of our household."

……

The next day.

early morning.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and onto the bed.

Lu Chuan opened his eyes.

Last night, he finally stopped running back and forth between the two rooms.

Liu Fuyao and Shangguan Yue served him together.

That was the craziest and the most tender night of his life.

Lu Chuan turned his head away.

He looked at the two women lying beside him.

Their eyes were closed, their breathing even, and they appeared to be fast asleep.

He gently leaned over and kissed the two women on the forehead before pushing open the window and leaping away, transforming into a streak of crimson light and disappearing from sight.

However, the moment the window closed, Liu Fuyao and Shangguan Yue on the large bed opened their eyes at the same time.

Tears streamed down their faces, soaking their pillows.

They had actually been awake for a while.

But no one dared to open their eyes, no one wanted to face this separation that might last for who knows how many years.

……

Nancheng Zoo.

This place is no longer the dilapidated little zoo it once was.

After expansion, the Nancheng Zoo now covers a vast area and boasts luxurious facilities.

Zhao Lei, dressed in a sharp suit, was inspecting the park with his hands behind his back.

He is now the director of Nancheng Zoo.

Because of Lu Chuan's influence, no one in Nancheng dared to disrespect him.

Over the years, Zhao Lei has become quite chubby and his belly is very prominent.

But deep down he was still a grassroots employee, and he didn't neglect the management of the zoo at all.

At this moment, he was leading a group of employees on a tour of the zoo, constantly gesturing and giving instructions.

"Reinforce the guardrail over there."

"And the feed for the monkeys must be the freshest."

However, at that moment...

call out!

A streak of crimson light suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of everyone.

The surrounding employees were startled, but when they saw the person's face clearly, their expressions changed drastically.

"Greetings, Venerable Lu!"

They all knelt down in a flurry.

Only Zhao Lei stood there, stunned for a moment, then grinned widely.

"Kawako!"

"Holy crap, you've gotten even more handsome in three years!"

Zhao Lei patted his big belly, looking envious.

"Look at me, I've gotten as fat as a bear."

"You cultivators have it so good, you can eat whatever you want and never gain weight."

Lu Chuan looked at Zhao Lei and smiled.

"Lei Zi, come with me."

Zhao Lei's playful smile vanished instantly.

He knew Lu Chuan too well; one look at this situation and he knew something was wrong.

"Everyone, go home and do what you were doing."

After waving his hands to send the employees away, he turned around and followed Lu Chuan.

But it still happened subconsciously.

Half a step behind.

Lu Chuan noticed this small movement out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Ultimately, I've become rusty.

Now, when Zhao Lei faces him, he feels like Runtu facing Xun Ge'er.

Although she was still smiling.

But deep down, there was already a sense of awe.

to be frank.

Lu Chuan disliked this feeling very much.
