Chapter 484: Three-Year Agreement

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After settling his home planet, Lin Feng also heaved a sigh of relief. Currently, his home planet and the other 35 territorial planets had jointly formed the Array of 36 Celestial Beings.

With this array, he could also rest assured. After being busy for so long, he could relax a little and accompany his family properly.

Lin Feng and Qu Chen strolled through the villa in the League of Guardians. Qu Chen looked at the sky. It was an unfamiliar sky.

“Lin Feng, I’ve never seen such a night view.”

“Of course. The night view here is different from before. We’ve already arrived at the North River Galaxy.”

“That’s right. We’ve already arrived at the North River Galaxy, a completely unfamiliar cosmos. I never thought that one day, our home planet would be able to reach another cosmos.”

“There are many things you would not expect. The universe is vast. We cannot explore its limits even in our entire lives.”

Lin Feng glanced at Qu Chen. He felt that he had really owed his wife all these years. He had been gone for ten years. When he returned, even his son and daughter had grown up.

This was all his wife’s silent sacrifice.

Even though he came back once every ten years, his wife still did not complain at all. It was as if Qu Chen was satisfied just knowing that Lin Feng would come back.

“Chenchen, it’s been hard on you.”

Lin Feng held Qu Chen’s hand tightly and said affectionately, “Now that I have time, I can make it up to you properly.”

“How will you make it up to me?” Qu Chen said with a half-smile.

Lin Feng smiled wryly and said, “Xin’er and Sheng’er have both grown up. Why don’t we have a few more children? We can watch over them together as they grow up.”

Even though Qu Chen was already a mother of two, she could not help but blush when she heard this. She appeared so beautiful in the night.

…

“Brother Sheng, I’m leaving!”

In the cosmos, a man and a woman stood facing each other. The man was handsome and striking, his figure tall and straight, and his entire body emitted a masculine aura. The woman was dressed in black with an attractive face. There was a spirited air in her eyes, and she looked very valiant.

It was the woman in black who had spoken to the tall man just now. Although her tone was cold, it was filled with helplessness and a trace of reluctance.

“Why, Lan Jing?” The man sounded very anxious.

A mournful smile appeared on Lan Jing’s lips. “Brother Sheng, you’ve known me for ten years, right? In the past ten years, we went through life-or-death situations, traveled the cosmos, ventured everywhere, and repaid grace and grudges in kind. These ten years were the happiest time of my life. I’ll never forget it.

“But, Brother Sheng, do you know my identity? Do you know my story?”

The man who was called Brother Sheng shook his head and said, “Why should I have to know your identity? Your past is ultimately the past. What I value more is the future!”

Lan Jing shook his head and said, “Brother Sheng, I hope there’s a future, but I have to resolve my past. It’s a good thing that you don’t know about my past, but I have to leave for now. See you at the usual place in three years!”

“You’ll definitely come?” Brother Sheng said with an expectant expression.

“I’ll definitely come! But if I don’t come, Brother Sheng won’t have to wait for me.”

“I understand, Lan Jing. Go ahead and do what you want. In three years, if you don’t come, I’ll find you. I’ll find you even if I have to search every corner of the cosmos!”

“Brother Sheng, take care!”

Lan Jing turned around and quickly disappeared into the depths of the universe.

“Three years…”

Brother Sheng stared intently at the departing Lan Jing. He took a deep breath and turned to leave. He would remember the three-year agreement firmly in his heart.

…

Planet Aquarius was renowned for the Aquarius River.

A man was strolling on the embankment of a river. Looking at the river flowing past rapidly below, a trace of melancholy appeared on his face.

“The three-year agreement has expired by ten days. She has not come.”

Brother Sheng had actually been on Planet Aquarius for more than half a year. He had been waiting by the Aquarius the entire time. This was the place he had agreed on with Lan Jing.

However, Lan Jing did not come. According to Brother Sheng’s understanding of Lan Jing, no matter how enormous the matter, Lan Jing would definitely set it aside, and come here per their agreement. If Lan Jing did not come, there was only one possibility—Lan Jing was unable to come according to the agreement!

Brother Sheng closed his eyes. He was listening to the sound of the rapid river, but his heart gradually calmed down. Brother Sheng knew that something had probably happened to Lan Jing.

Actually, ever since Lan Jing wanted to bid farewell and leave, Brother Sheng had known that something would happen to Lan Jing. However, Brother Sheng still held onto a trace of hope. He wouldn’t stop Lan Jing from doing what she wanted, because he hoped that Lan Jing could act according to her own will and ideas, and do whatever she wanted to.

Recalling the times he had shared with Lan Jing, Brother Sheng abruptly opened his eyes.

“Lan Jing, you didn’t show up as agreed. I’ll find you. No matter where you are, I’ll find you!”

Brother Sheng looked at the rapid flows with a determined expression.

Then, Brother Sheng went to a secret chamber, and found a man in a black robe. This was a mysterious intelligence agency with influence in many galaxies. It also had a base on Planet Aquarius.

“I need information on Lan Jing.”

Brother Sheng described the situation regarding Lan Jing. Then, the other party gave the price.

“A thousand energy units!”

This was really expensive! Even Brother Sheng frowned at the price.

“You won’t ask for an exorbitant price. Tell me, why is it so expensive?”

“Because the matter of Lan Jing involves a planetary lifeform!”

“A planetary lifeform?”

Brother Sheng was shocked. He knew that once planetary lifeforms were involved, the price would definitely be very expensive. No wonder they asked for a thousand energy units.

“All right, 1,000 energy units it is. Tell me all the information you have on Lan Jing.”

“Distinguished guest, as you wish, all the information on Lan Jing is here.”

Brother Sheng picked up the information the other party had prepared and checked it carefully. However, the more he read, the angrier he became. In the end, his expression became anxious.

It turned out that Lan Jing was a cultivator from Planet Aquarius, and came from a famous cultivation family at that.

In the family, there was once an ancestor who had reached the peak of five life transitions. He was only one step away from metamorphosing into a planetary lifeform.

However, the Lan family seemed to have obtained an artifact that was coveted by a cultivator with five life transitions. That cultivator with five life transitions gathered a bunch of experts and annihilated the entire Lan family. Only Lan Jing was lucky enough to escape.

Then, Lan Jing wandered and hid everywhere. Later, she attained opportunities to cultivate all the way to the fourth life transition, and met Brother Sheng.

The two of them had roamed the universe for ten years, and had both broken through to five life transitions. Moreover, Lan Jing had acquired an artifact. Hence, Lan Jing planned to avenge her family, which was why she parted ways with Brother Sheng.

However, she never returned. Lan Jing had stayed hidden on Planet Aquarius for more than two years. In the end, she found an opportunity. Originally, she would have been certain in killing her enemy.

However, her enemy had a brother, who was a powerful planetary lifeform. Coincidentally, he was with her enemy that day. The opportunity that Lan Jing had carefully waited for turned out to be a deadly situation.

Lan Jing had failed, which was why she could not show up as agreed.

“Lan Jing is alive!”

This was what Brother Sheng was most concerned about among all the information. As long as Lan Jing was not dead, there was still hope for everything!
