Star Odyssey

reaking, and Lu Yin did not know how to comfort him.
Talent for lockbreaking? Did Lu Yin have such a thing? He didn’t know, as he simply relied on his Cosmic Art to supplement his lockbreaking.
It seemed as though Cai Jianqiang was not inferior in terms of perception or his star energy control, but for some reason, his lockbreaking did not improve smoothly.
And thus, the man was only able to blame himself. 

Lu Yin looked over at Zi Rong.
“Why don’t you want to get involved in the Exchange’s business?” 

Zi Rong took another swig of wine.
“It’s too annoying.
There’s nothing more delightful than cultivating.” 

Cai Jianqiang countered, saying, “He’s afraid of trouble, so he doesn’t cultivate any other techniques besides his Battalion Slash.
He has trained that one technique for decades.”

Lu Yin was stunned.
“It’s not because of his perseverance?” 

“It’s because he’s lazy,” Cai Jianqiang ruthlessly mocked. 

Zi Rong retorted, “Don’t spout nonsense, I definitely have perseverance.
How else would I have managed to persist for decades?” 

Lu Yin was left speechless, and he had a feeling that his common sense was being destroyed.
Everything had a cause and an effect; Zi Rong had cultivated his Battalion Slash for decades, and even if that was because of his laziness, he also possessed great determination.
It was only his motivation that put others off.
Lu Yin had nearly worshipped Zi Rong’s determination, but now, Lu Yin felt his blood starting to run cold. 

There were some things that really should not be said aloud, for once they were spoken, the truth might not match the appearance.
Sometimes, imagination was enough. 

“Alliance Leader Lu, I know why you are here.
I tell you straightforwardly that I cannot represent Amethyst Exchange, and I cannot help you in your feud with Aegis,” Zi Rong said. 

Lu Yin was not surprised by this, as he had realized that the moment he saw the Battalion Slash, and he had known that he would inevitably be rejected.
“It’s alright, your sister has helped me enough.” 

Zi Rong suddenly moved closer and glared at Lu Yin.
“Don’t make any moves on her.
She’s going to marry a scholar in the future.” 

Lu Yin blinked.
“I’m a scholar.” 

“Knowing how to read doesn’t make you a scholar,” Zi Rong retorted in a deep voice.

Lu Yin did not know how to reply to that.
Should he come up with a poem on the spot?

Before long, the three men finished the wine in the three earthen jars.
Not one of them used any star energy to sober themselves up, and they were all quite clearly drunk. 

Cai Jianqiang was hugging his jar and lockbreaking while crazily lamenting about something or another. 

Zi Rong wielded his blade while hacking away with it, slice after slice.
It was impossible to tell if he was drunk or sleepwalking. 

Lu Yin fell to the ground and reminisced about past memories, though he could not recall what had happened nine years ago.
His memory was limited to only these nine years.
During this time, he had lived with Big Sis and the others for a year, spent more than a year peacefully living on Earth, and then another seven years cultivating.
That was the extent of his memories, and there was nothing from before that. 

He felt like a rootless weed, and Earth could barely be considered his roots.

The following day, at King Zishan ’s palace, Lu Yin massaged his head.
He had drunk too much the previous day, but fortunately, he had still managed to get home.

He moved star energy through his body, and his mind became much clearer as his discomfort faded away. 

He did not know what had happened to the other two.
One had been crazily lockbreaking while the other had been waving a blade about in a berserk fashion.
They wouldn’t have inexplicably started fighting each other, right? Fortunately, he had been the first to leave. 

He had just entered the palace’s courtyard when Gavin requested an audience, his face showing a sense of urgency and excitement. 

“Your Highness, good news! The Goddess, Luo Shen is on Zenyu Star.
Do you want to see her?” Gavin excitedly informed Lu Yin, his expression a little strange. 

Lu Yin was confused.
“Luo Shen? Who’s that?”

Gavin was surprised.
“Your Highness doesn’t know of the Goddess? She’s the most popular celebrity beauty! She’s a jade goddess who’s popular throughout half of the Outerverse.
You’ve never heard of her?” 

Lu Yin shook his head.
“What does some celebrity have to do with me?”

Gavin quietly answered, “Luo Shen wants to socialize and meet some new friends on Zenyu Star with a concert.
If Your Highness is interested, your subject can invite her to dance for Your Highness alone.
With your current status, I don’t believe that Luo Shen will reject an invitation.” 

Lu Yin stared at Gavin in astonishment, as this old fellow’s expression did not look quite right.
Could this man be trying to bend some rules to dote on Lu Yin? Lu Yin suddenly laughed.
“Is she really that beautiful? To the point where Lord Gavin cannot maintain himself?” 

Gavin smiled sheepishly.
“Your Highness is funny, and your subject does not have the good fortune to be able to watch Luo Shen dance by myself.
Right!” Gavin quickly activated his gadget, and a woman appeared on the screen.
“Take a look, Your Highness.
This is The Goddess, Luo Shen! The jade goddess of Amethyst Exchange.” 

Lu Yin looked over and was amazed.
His breath was truly stolen by this girl.

The girl on the screen looked to be about twenty years old, and golden hair hung to her waist.
She had a gentle look and was attractive in a non-dazzling way.
Her appearance was exquisite and refined, beautiful and pure.
There was an indescribable attraction about her, and she had a faint smile on her face, as if she was an angel that had descended from the Heavens.
Even Lu Yin, who had seen Ming Yan, Bai Xue, Madam Nalan, and other stunning beauties, felt that Luo Shen’s beauty was extremely rare.
She was different from any other beautiful woman he had seen before. 

This girl had an intoxicating appearance and a smile that could purify people.

Her smile felt like it could illuminate even the darkest corners.

Gavin closely observed Lu Yin, and when he saw the Royal Regent’s eyes brighten, he quietly asked, “Your Highness, do you want a private performance?” 

Lu Yin withdrew his gaze.
“Is that possible?” 

Gavin replied, “For others, of course not.
However, this subject can invite her in Your Highness’s name.”

After that, Gavin opened up other images of Luo Shen to share with Lu Yin. 

Lu Yin had only noticed her face before being instantly stunned, and he had not really paid much attention to her figure.
It had to be said that beautiful women practically all had good figures, and this Luo Shen was no different.
Her chest was so large that it did not match her innocent face at all.
