He came from a distant star to Earth to experience mortality and seek enlightenment, but inexplicably gained a family and a lover.
Fortunately, he calmed his mind and earnestly treated everyo...
The Bai Lu family was the product of an experiment conducted by a powerful cultivator at the Yin-Yang Realm of the Zhe Xian Sect. The so-called Yin-Yang Realm refers to a minor realm in which a cultivator, after breaking through the Mahayana stage, comprehends Yin and Yang but has not yet attracted a Heavenly Tribulation and entered the Tribulation Transcending Realm.
In short, the little guy's background was extremely pitiful. On the spaceship, the little guy stared blankly out the window, like a small low-pressure area, which made Xu Chen and Wang Li unsure how to approach and understand this little guy.
"Uncle, can the Tianquan Sect help me become stronger?" Bai Lu looked at the starry sky outside the spaceship, a gentle light flashing in her big eyes, as if she were recalling the time she and her family spent fleeing through the stars, relying on each other for survival, followed by the tragic deaths of her family, and her parents using their last means to peel away parts of their dragon spirits to protect the little one as they escaped from Crimson Phoenix III all the way to Crimson Phoenix I. Thinking of this memory, the little one clenched her small fists and walked up to Xu Chen, asking earnestly.
"Why do you want to become stronger?" Xu Chen squatted down and patted Bai Lu's head. The moment his hand touched Bai Lu's horn, her small body trembled violently. Seeing this, Xu Chen quickly withdrew his hand and then asked the little girl softly. He didn't ask Bai Lu why she knew he came from the Tianquan Sect.
"I... sob sob sob..."
"Ahhh, don't cry, don't cry, sister has some candy here," Wang Li couldn't stand seeing children cry, so she quickly took out a lollipop from her bag, unwrapped it, and handed it to Bai Lu. Bai Lu cried for a long time, and her little clothes were soaked with tears. Xu Chen and Wang Li looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Wang Li still held the lollipop, preparing to wait for the little one to calm down before giving it to her.
After crying, Bai Lu choked back tears as she revealed her identity and the misfortunes she had suffered to Xu Chen and Wang Li. The little girl wasn't stupid. Even though being hunted down by the Zhe Xian Sect had caused her to hate humans and human cultivators for a time, upon careful consideration, she realized that there were probably only a handful of forces in the major star regions that could rival the Zhe Xian Sect. In order to survive and seek revenge, after discovering Xu Chen's identity, she resolutely decided to follow him.
After hearing this, Wang Li's beautiful eyes welled up with tears. Xu Chen also felt a little sad. Bai Lu looked at Wang Li's expectant eyes, took the lollipop from her hand in a daze, and put it in her mouth. "So sweet! I haven't eaten anything so sweet since my mother died."
As she continued to suckle, tears began to fall again. Wang Li couldn't bear it, so she simply squatted down and hugged the little one, comforting her gently in her arms.
Even though she was a dragon, Bai Lu was still a child. After feeling the warmth of the embrace, she finished crying and gradually fell asleep in Wang Li's arms. Xu Chen was smoking on the table next to him and casually turned on the ventilation system.
After gently placing Bailu on the bed, Xu Chen and Wang Li walked to the passageway outside the rest cabin and sat down to chat.
"Chenchen, we still haven't answered her question."
"Yes, there is still no answer. Actually, I can't guarantee it either. The strength of the dragon clan will automatically increase with age, but that takes too long."
"Will the sect have a solution?"
"Well, I don't know much about it. I'll discuss it with some elders. It'll be here soon, Lili, are you looking forward to it?" Xu Chen changed the subject, temporarily setting aside the little one's affairs.
"It would be a lie to say I'm not looking forward to it, Chenchen. How big is the Tianquan Sect?"
"It's huge, its area must be dozens of times that of Peking University." Actually, Xu Chen didn't know the exact size. He just made his guess based on the area of Peking University, since Peking University was the unit he was most familiar with on Earth.
"Ah..." Wang Li covered her mouth in surprise, "Then wouldn't that mean there are dozens of times more disciples than those at Peking University?"
"No, not really. If you include the martial artists, the total is close to 70,000, though we claim it to be 100,000." The martial artists alone make up 30,000 to 40,000 of them. Although they are not disciples, they are still vassals of the Tianquan Sect.
A day or two later, Xu Chen, Bai Lu, and Wang Li set foot on the land of Tianquan Star. Outside the teleportation array, disciples were patrolling and inspecting, while some foreign humans, invited by the Tianquan Sect, were riding in mobility devices, checking and maintaining the huge teleportation array with the original engineers to prevent any errors.
When the disciples of Tianquan Sect saw Xu Chen and his companions emerge, they paused for a moment before approaching and bowing to Xu Chen. This was because the color of their civilian clothes indicated different ranks.
"Senior, welcome back to the sect. And who are these two?"
"It's my lover, and... a girl we found on the road." With Xu Chen's permission, the female disciple came over and did a quick search of Wang Li and Bai Lu. Wang Li also opened her storage bag for the female disciple to take a look. After finding nothing wrong, the leading disciple apologized to Xu Chen.
"Senior, I'm sorry, this is just routine."
"I understand, may we go now?"
"Yes, yes, take care, senior."
The three people who left the teleportation array set off on their way back to the sect. The teleportation array was not far from the sect, but it was not close either. Along the way, on the engineer's advice, the Tianquan Sect sent out warriors to collect materials from several nearby mountains and pave a stone path leading to the sect. Two neat rows of plants were transplanted on both sides of the path.
"Chenchen, this place feels just like Earth!!!" Aside from the high-tech teleportation array she had just seen, the houses and green hills in the distance, and the stone path in front of her, Wang Li felt more and more at home.
“So, that’s why I brought you back to the sect.” Xu Chen was about to hug Wang Li when he realized there was a child present, so he squatted down and looked at Bai Lu, who was staring at him with wide eyes, and said, “Little one, don’t run around when we get to the sect. I’ll take you to see the elders first.”
Bai Lu nodded, holding Xu Chen's big hand with her small one. The two of them, along with Wang Li, really looked like a family of three.
After working for a while, Xu Chen looked around at the scenery, still feeling somewhat unfamiliar with it. "This formation was built in recent years. I don't really know how far this road is from the sect."
"I understand. Come on up, Chenchen, you carry Bailu on your back."
"My wife is so smart!"
Xu Chen carried a top-grade spirit stone on his back, while Wang Li carried Xu Chen on her back. She absorbed the spiritual power of the spirit stone while moving forward using her lightness skill. Along the way, Xu Chen saw many sect disciples and even many aliens. This road was probably a road that the Tianquan Sect had specially opened to tourists.
"We're here, Lili." Xu Chen pointed to the square in front of him. There were still many tourists here, but most of them were cultivators. They were looking at each pillar in the square with solemn expressions. Bai Lu, who had come down from Xu Chen's back, curiously walked into the pillar to take a look. The strong resentment and evil aura rushed towards them, making the little guy's face turn pale. Wang Li also felt uncomfortable and leaned against Xu Chen's chest to stop feeling nauseous and vomiting.
