Lu Chen was certainly not foolish enough to take out the Star Stone now, as that would expose his biggest secret. Although it was Ji Wuyue, Lu Chen would not let anyone know about this biggest secret trump card.

"How could I possibly know? I've never seen it before. What should I do now?"

Lu Chen sighed, looking helpless.

Ji Wuyue suddenly fell into deep thought and said, "Forget it, it seems that there are no star stones on Yanhuang Star. Since that's the case, the teleportation array can't be activated, and we can only stay on Yanhuang Star!"

"Um!"

Lu Chen nodded, looking at Ji Wuyue's struggling expression, knowing that she must be hiding something.

"Besides, we don't know where this teleportation array will send us. If there's any danger, that would be terrible!"

"Besides, I don't want to be separated from you. If you leave, I don't know when I'll see you again!"

As Ji Wuyue spoke, she gently rested her head on Lu Chen's chest.

At this moment, the atmosphere between the two was somewhat melancholic.

"I haven't left yet! Besides, I can't leave. Without the star stone, where would I go?"

Lu Chen smiled and offered a word of comfort.

But he knew that Ji Wuyue had something she didn't say.

"Let's go, let's leave this place and go back to Jing'an City!"

Lu Chen, with Ji Wuyue in his arms, left the teleportation array disc land, descended the Heavenly Ladder, and then flew directly towards Jing'an City.

With his current strength, his speed has increased once again, and he arrived in Jing'an City in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Today, Jing'an City has been completely transformed into a magnificent and spectacular city.

The city lord's mansion, located at the highest point, was heavily guarded.

Many powerful individuals who came to seek refuge with Lu Chen were willing to serve as guards in the city lord's mansion. At the very least, they had to be at the King level to be qualified to guard the gate.

Of course, Lu Chen wasn't interested in such things, but for the sake of the City Lord's Mansion's prestige, he still accepted these subordinates and handed them over to the trusted Chan'er and others for arrangements.

Lu Chen has been gone for quite some time.

No one knows where he went, and Ji Wuyue disappeared with him.

Now, the two have appeared together again, even holding hands, looking very intimate. Even a blind person could see that they were having an affair.

However, given Lu Chen and Ji Wuyue's current status, there really wasn't anyone who dared to say anything.

Even the elders of the True Martial Academy could only smile wryly and offer their blessings. However, what they were really unhappy about was that Lu Chen was too much of a playboy.

The women in the city lord's mansion are all stunningly beautiful, each more beautiful and talented than the last, yet they all have ambiguous relationships with Lu Chen. Who dares to say that Lu Chen is innocent?

"Senior sister must be blind, how could she fall for such a philandering bastard?"

"Sigh, what can we do? They're talented and strong!"

"So what if he's capable? That doesn't mean he's not a good man!"

"Go tell that to your senior sister, what's the point of telling me? You can't beat that scumbag Lu Chen!"

"..."

Lu Chen didn't care; his skin was already thick enough to withstand anything.

Ji Wuyue was a little embarrassed, but she acted as if nothing had happened, since no one would dare to mention it in front of her anyway.

"Lord City Lord, a few days ago, the demon race sent someone to inform us that the Demon God Palace is about to open. There is still one month to go. Please make preparations and go a few days in advance!"

After paying his respects to Lu Chen, a guard at the Emperor Realm got down to business.

"A month? Okay, I got it!"

Lu Chen nodded. When the Demon God Palace was mentioned, he almost forgot that he had previously forced several Demon Emperors of the Demon Clan to agree to let him explore the Demon God Palace.

Before we knew it, the day was almost here.

"Senior sister, would you like to come with me?"

Lu Chen turned to look at Ji Wuyue and found that Ji Wuyue's expression was very abnormal, as if she was struggling with something.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Chen stepped forward and took her hand, noticing that it was a little cold.

This is very abnormal.

"Can you promise me you won't go to the Demon God's Palace?"

Ji Wuyue hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

Lu Chen became even more curious. He had previously mentioned that he was going to the Demon God Palace, which was not a secret. Ji Wuyue was also present at the time.

But now, Ji Wuyue's sudden statement is clearly related to the teleportation array.

"Fine, I'll tell you the truth. There's a high chance that there are Star Stones in this Demon God Palace. I know that with your strength, you have a good chance of getting them. So, I don't want you to go."

Ji Wuyue stared directly at Lu Chen and said softly, "I'm afraid you'll leave, activate the teleportation array alone, and abandon me."

"How is this possible?"

Lu Chen was secretly surprised. He hadn't expected that the Demon God Palace would actually have Star Stones.

I had sensed something was off about Ji Wuyue before. It turns out she already knew, but she didn't say anything because she was worried that I would just leave.

This woman is now a bit love-struck; she's no longer the Supreme Elder who was once solely devoted to martial arts and focused on breaking through to higher realms.

She was no longer the most powerful ruler of the human race, bearing the heavy responsibility for the life and death of the entire human race. Now, she had let go of everything.

At this moment, Ji Wuyue is just a simple, innocent woman.
