My gorgeous wife Chapter 2291 - 2259: Gale Plains

Except for initially feeling a bit out of place, Li Chen quickly began to assume the identity of a ’hero’.

Chitchatting with Chai Li and talking about some of the mysterious and ever-changing scenes of the outside world left Chai Li, the Lord, and everyone around utterly flabbergasted.

Of course, Li Chen talked about matters on other planets outside the starry sky, since he had just recently landed on this planet called ’Eight Directions’.

However, it was apparent that Chai Li, who had hardly left the Gale Plains, and her guards, didn’t realize Li Chen was making stuff up and instead saw him as a well-traveled and powerful ’hero’.

Li Chen’s gaze moved over one Eight Directions Star person after another. Although his stories seemed wildly exaggerated to these people, in reality, they might not know that any one of them placed on a less developed planet would definitely be at that ’Superman’ grade level.

After all, according to Li Chen’s observations, the average physical strength of people here could be compared to a Martial Artist who had just entered the Heavenly Level.

However, with everyone at the same level, there was really nothing to feel strange about.

It’s like the saying, a crane in a flock of chickens is indeed very conspicuous, but what about a crane amidst other cranes?

Fortunately, the laws of this planet were crude; otherwise, allowing such a planet to develop a Cultivation Civilization would probably become a terrifying place.

"Lord Li Chen, I wonder if our Gale Fort’s food suits your taste?" Chai Li asked courteously at the dining table.

"Hmm." Li Chen nodded, savoring the unique flavors of the food on this planet. It must be said, although this planet’s development was a bit peculiar, the food tasted indeed good.

While living in the Red Dust Heavenly Palace, Li Chen had tasted all culinary delights the world had to offer, but the exotic cuisine of this alien planet had its own unique charm.

After a meal, Li Chen accompanied Chai Li for tea. Of course, here it wasn’t called tea but rather a special beverage made from a blend of unusual plants, tasting sweet and sour and delightful.

"Lord Li Chen, truth be told, the reason I invited you to Gale Fort this time was indeed to ask for your help." Chai Li said cautiously.

Here it comes.

This was Li Chen’s thought.

"Lord, please speak directly. As a hero, it is only natural to lend a helping hand to those in need, isn’t it?" Li Chen said calmly.

Chai Li didn’t expect Li Chen to agree so readily and, after a brief moment of surprise, straightforwardly said: "Actually, outside our Gale Fort, in the Gale Plains, there’s a monster. We’ve dispatched troops several times to subdue it, but although we injured the monster, the casualties on our side were severe. So, I hope Lord Li Chen could..."

Li Chen smiled: "If the Lord thinks highly of me, then there’s no need to call me ’Lord’ anymore; just call me by my name."

Hearing this, Chai Li also smiled. By saying this, Li Chen basically agreed to her request. Although she still didn’t know the extent of the abilities of this hero named ’Li Chen’, the insights he had shared were beyond anything she had ever heard.

Such a well-read hero should be capable of dealing with that monster, right?

"In that case, you also needn’t call me ’Lord’; just call me Chai Li." Chai Li laughed.

Li Chen nodded: "The monster is not a problem, but there is something I’d like to discuss with you, Chai Li."

Chai Li hurriedly said: "Please don’t worry about the reward; although Gale Fort is a small territory, we can still afford a hero’s recompense."

"It’s not about that." Li Chen waved dismissively: "Forget about the reward; I just need some information in exchange."

"Information?" Chai Li was taken aback.

...

"Is this all there is?" Li Chen lay on the chair, frowning slightly.

After hearing Li Chen’s request, Chai Li had diligently helped gather some information, though it was evident this information was of limited help to Li Chen.

According to the information from Chai Li, several decades ago, there seemed to have been an unknown entity that descended from the sky, but she didn’t know exactly where it landed, as Chai Li wasn’t yet born at that time.

This record was left by Chai Li’s grandfather.

The record contained only a few traces.

The unknown entity seemed to have descended in the East.

This planet, Eight Directions, earned its name because it has lands in all eight directions.

Translated into common language, it is Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, Yellow, Universe, Cosmos, Vast, and Desolate the Eight Lands.

And the place where Gale Fort is located is on the Desolate land among the Eight Lands.

Among the Eight Lands, the Desolate Land is relatively close to the Central continent, and to the east of the Desolate Land are the Heaven, Mysterious, and Universe lands.

The Eight Directions Star is immensely vast, with the area of each land roughly comparable to the combined territories of the four or five mansions of the ancient Earth Prison Star Continent. That is to say, the total area of each land surpasses the total area of an ordinary star.

So, such a simple directional guide is really not very helpful to Li Chen.

"Better than nothing." After some contemplation, Li Chen couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly. The guiding thread of fate had ended here, and whether he could find Li Changcun would depend entirely on his own abilities.

It’s not that Li Chen couldn’t use Divine Sense to probe; it’s just that on such a strangely developed planet, who knows what could be concealed, and Li Chen wouldn’t dare recklessly scan everything with his Divine Sense.

More concerning for Li Chen was the result derived from the calculation of fate.

Nine Deaths One Life.

Li Chen used to not believe in destiny, but a series of subsequent experiences forced him to somewhat believe in such an elusive concept.

So, for this action, even someone like him had to proceed cautiously.

With his current capabilities, there indeed weren’t many entities he couldn’t contend with.

But still, some exist.

Even if not for himself, for Li Changcun, he must be careful.

Early the next morning, Li Chen was notified by a maid from Gale Fort to prepare for action. As he didn’t need to sleep, he quickly sat up, found Chai Li, and together they went to the gates of Gale Fort.

"Let’s go, hunt the monster!"

Li Chen stretched lazily, somewhat absentmindedly gazing eastward.

"Old man, decades have passed in silence, what are you up to?"
