The Driver smirked. "Those politicians won't compromise so easily.
They must be thinking that even if the aliens do show up, they won't necessarily show up in the Eastern Alliance. They could show up in the Western Alliance or the Northern Alliance. Why do we need to evacuate?
If the aliens don't show up when the time comes, how much damage will the Eastern Alliance suffer?
I know those people's faces too well. They will definitely find all sorts of reasons to not agree to your suggestion. "
The Gourmet nodded. "That's how the world works. Even in the Western Alliance and Northern Alliance it's the same.
Even if everyone knows that this is the most reasonable suggestion, it is almost impossible to actually implement it. "
Lan Jue nodded. "We'll have to do what we can.
At least for now, Skyfire and An Lun should be safe.
The Alliance will have to station their forces there.
Star Division will have to continue to grow stronger.
You saw what happened that day. Not even the railguns had any effect on the alien planets.
When I fought the Violet Princess, I sensed she was resistant to our Disciplines. In other words, our Disciplines were a threat to her. "
The Driver's smile was bitter. "But we're still too small compared to the aliens.
They could swallow us whole with a single swipe of their jaws. "
The Gourmet nodded. "Don't underestimate yourself. We need to work hard to improve ourselves.
I'm going to shut myself away for a while. "
The Wine Master nodded. "These are troubled times. Star Division needs to train more intensely.
I'm sure they'll work harder once they know the threat the aliens pose.
You're all tired, go back and get some rest.
We'll talk tomorrow.
I'll keep an eye on the council, I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything. "
"Alright." Lan Jue nodded, then left with a heavy heart.
The Wine Master watched her leave with a look of relief in his eyes. "Clairvoyant," he muttered to himself, "I admire your foresight. You've made the right choice.
This kid is starting to walk his own path.
Whether it's the push of fate or the fact that he should have been on this path, with him around, at least I see hope. "
Zeus Jewelry Shop seems very deserted. When Lan Jue comes back, the four maids of Zeus are cleaning the counter.
They had been gone for so long that the counter was covered in dust.
No, more accurately speaking, it should be Zeus and the Five Maids who were cleaning.
Su Xiaosu was there too.
In Star Division she was Vice Commander and Chief of Staff, but here she was Zeus's Fifth Attendant.
Moreover, when it came to work, her movements were not inferior to the other four women.
"Boss!"
Seeing that Lan Jue had returned, the five girls straightened their backs and greeted her with smiles on their faces.
Lan Jue forced a smile on her face, "Everyone has been tired for so long, go and have a good rest.
I'll clean it later. "
Mika smiled and said, "It doesn't matter.
This is our home. If we don't clean it up, we won't be able to rest well!
Don't you agree, Little Su? "
"Yeah." Su Xiaosu nodded her head.
Lan Jue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw how well they were doing. After her time with Star Division, Su Xiaosu had truly blended in with the group.
Although the former Moonfiend Empress would have preferred the days when she could command the winds and clouds, it was clear she enjoyed being here.
It was the same for Lan Jue. Zeus Jewelry Shop was like a safe harbor. Here he felt at ease.
But then, exhaustion washed over him.
Suddenly, Lan Jue felt a surge of energy within her. Then, a faint blue light flickered around her.
Zeus's Five Maids stared blankly. The sudden surge of energy coming from their boss startled them.
Lan Jue stared blankly for a moment, then his face lit up with ecstasy. His silhouette flickered, and he rushed to the VIP lounge.
"Don't let anyone disturb me." His words were the only thing that hung in the air.
Zeus's Five Maids looked at each other. They had no idea what was going on.
"Is the boss about to break through again?
He's been getting stronger and stronger lately. We need to work harder. "Kerr waved her little fist in the air.
Lin Guo-guo nodded in agreement. "I need to work harder too, otherwise I won't be able to help the boss.
Kerr, you haven't broken through to ninth level yet?
Keep it up! "
Kerr nodded. "Soon, soon. It should be soon.
Ah, I'm the only one left. "
Xiu Xiu had also broken through to ninth level. Kerr was the only one left, and she was still at the peak of eighth level.
Of the five Zeus's Five Maids, Xiaosu was the strongest.
Then there was Mika. Mika had the Demon King's bloodline, so he wasn't far off from Xiaosu's.
After him were Lin Guo-guo, Xiu Xiu, and Kerr.
Kerr hadn't reached ninth level yet, but her explosive power was incredible.
She could unleash a powerful attack for a short period of time.
Once her cultivation level rose to the ninth level, there would be another qualitative leap.
Lan Jue rushed to his room, and immediately focused on his own body. He could feel the changes that had taken place inside him.
There was a flash of light, and a naked figure appeared in front of him.
It was Zhou Qianlin, wasn't it?
When he sensed the ever-present sharpness of the blade, he knew that Zhou Qianlin's fusion with Demortus was complete.
He couldn't wait to rush back. Sure enough.
He hadn't seen Zhou Qianlin in two months, and his heart was full of longing.
However, he still covered her delicate body with the quilt first, and then carefully looked at her.
Zhou Qianlin stood there, her eyes still empty, but her entire temperament had changed.
There was a faint blue halo flickering on the surface of her skin, and the energy fluctuations on her body had also become a lot more agile from the original pure and gentle.
"The fusion was a success?" Lan Jue couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Qianlin's eyes lit up with blue light, and Xuanyuan Shishi's voice sounded. "A perfect fusion.
She's like a piece of unpolished gold, accepting my energy without any resistance.
When you and Yong Ye merged, it was perfect because of the thunder essence. But we were able to do it without any external help. She's the most suitable person to carry my power.
You have to protect her well. I've already imprinted the [Thousand Opportunities and Ever-Changing Jade Pearl Swordplay] into her memory.
But I need you to guide her to use it.
I can't control her body, but I can feel that her instincts have returned. "
"Thank you."
Lan Jue's eyes dimmed a little. He'd thought that Zhou Qianlin could recover after fusing with the Immortal Extinguishing Sword.
Now it seemed that was just his wishful thinking.
"Qian Lin," Lan Jue called softly.
The blue light in Zhou Qianlin's eyes faded, and there was no emotion in her clear eyes.
But as he called out to her, her eyeballs moved slightly.
Lan Jue sat by the bed and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly.
He didn't want to loosen his embrace.
For the past two months, he'd either been fighting or cultivating.
But no matter what he did, he couldn't reduce his deep longing for her.
Today, he finally saw her again.
Lan Jue's heart was filled with joy, but there was also a faint sense of loss and deep longing.
He just wanted to hug her like this, and do nothing else.
Even if it was just listening to her heartbeat, he would be satisfied.
"Qian Lin, do you know?
I miss you so much.
Hurry up and get better.
I don't care about what happened in the past.
I love Hera, she let me know what love is.
I also love you. I admit that I used to think of you as her shadow, but later I found that it wasn't like that.
I also fell in love with you.
Wake up, let's take revenge for Hera, and find the enemy who hurt her.
It's really hard for me to be alone.
I really want you by my side to accompany me. "
Hugging her, he slowly lay down on the bed. He didn't dare to kiss her, because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see her again.
Just like that, separated by the quilt, he hugged her and laid down, leaning his head on hers. Lan Jue slowly closed his eyes. Only at this moment, his heart was so calm.
When he needed her the most, she finally came back.
This was really too important to him.
Lan Jue ran his fingers through her silky hair. Slowly, his consciousness began to drift away. He'd been so tired lately, so tired.
Before he knew it, he had already fallen asleep.
Zhou Qian Lin's eyes moved slightly, and she also closed her eyes. The whole room returned to silence.
When Lan Jue woke up from his dream, he only felt a warm presence in his arms.
It was warm, smooth, and had a faint fragrance.
And then there was his normal reaction that he didn't know when.
He looked down and saw long black hair that fell like a waterfall.
He didn't know when, but he was already under the quilt, and their bodies were so tightly pressed together.
Lan Jue's body moved instinctively, and his body, which was full of hormones, was even closer to the person in his arms.
But then, with a flash of light, the person in his arms had already merged into his body.
"I hate Bize!" Lan Jue cried out in pain.
It wasn't easy for his lover to come back, but he couldn't even be intimate with her.
What could be more torturous than this?
Feeling the energy in his body increase rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the peak of the Ninth Stage. Lan Jue couldn't help but feel helpless.
Yesterday, he didn't even check to see what level his cultivation had reached without merging with Qian Lin, and what level Qian Lin had reached.
