My gorgeous wife Chapter 2293 - 2261: Little Feng

After saying goodbye to Gale Plains, Li Chen rode the Earth Devouring Beast and began to slowly head east.

Of course, this leisurely pace was only slow for him. In the eyes of many people from the Desolate, the speed of this Earth Devouring Beast was still terrifyingly fast, much faster than any of their driven vehicles.

As Li Chen journeyed eastward, many passersby occasionally cast envious glances his way.

"Look, is that the hero? Only a hero could tame such a powerful Exotic Beast as a mount. Moreover, the speed of this mount is extremely fast, it must be very formidable. This hero must be extraordinary indeed."

"Yes, yes, I also wish to become a hero."

"With your mediocre Kung Fu skills? Better practice for decades more, haha."

Li Chen dismissed these comments with a smile.

Due to the remarkably high average level, the beings on the Eight Directions Star did not realize their own power.

Although a Heavenly Level physical body wasn’t considered extremely powerful, even without cultivating Martial Cultivation, according to Li Chen’s calculations, ordinary Martial Artists below the Earth-level Intense Heat were no match for civilians here.

Strength overwhelms skill; sometimes that’s not just empty words. For those at the Earth Level who haven’t grasped Law Power, defeating this kind of life with Innate strength far beyond their own is exceptionally difficult.

When he was still amidst the Starry Sky, Li Chen did feel a bit anxious.

However, after a century of searching, Li Chen’s cultivation became stable, and his mindset gradually calmed down.

What good is being anxious?

Over a hundred years had passed; no matter how anxious he was, it wouldn’t change anything. It was better to search slowly as he had already reached this planet, and he believed he would eventually find Li Changcun.

Moreover, Li Chen vaguely sensed an inexplicable shadow looming over his heart.

Perhaps, as the Law of Cause and Effect predicted, he really might encounter a great calamity here.

But regardless, since he’d arrived, he might as well make peace with it.

Sitting on the back of the Earth Devouring Beast, the lush fur growing in the crevices of its heavy scales made it feel like he was sitting on a carpet, very comfortable. With nothing else to do, Li Chen began to converse with the Earth Devouring Beast.

The Earth Devouring Beast was actually not lacking in intelligence, but because it had no one to communicate with in its environment, it appeared somewhat sluggish.

Initially, its communication with Li Chen felt a bit slow, but gradually it became smoother.

"Little guy, were you born in Gale Plains?" Li Chen asked curiously.

"Master, I was born in a mountain range to the north. I don’t know what it’s called, but later my parents were killed by a Great Demon, and I fled here alone," the Earth Devouring Beast replied.

The Earth Devouring Beast couldn’t speak, so this communication was limited to the soul level.

"I see." Li Chen realized, understanding now why Chai Li said this Earth Devouring Beast had not appeared for long; it had such a pitiful background.

However, Li Chen didn’t express much about this.

The Starry Universe is vast, and even on the Eight Directions Star, countless beings exist. Such events happen every moment; it’s not that he doesn’t want to meddle but that he simply can’t manage it all.

"Master, are you a hero?" the Earth Devouring Beast timidly asked, "I’ve heard from my parents that heroes are mighty beings, so strong that even kings of the mountains don’t dare provoke them."

"Me?" Li Chen shook his head with a smile, "No."

Looking at the sky, Li Chen smiled bitterly, "I come from a far, faraway place."

The Earth Devouring Beast raised its head in confusion, following Li Chen in gazing at the heavens.

Master, from the sky?

The Eight Directions Star is unique; due to incomplete laws, cultivators are exceedingly rare, and because of the intense gravity, there aren’t even many who can control the air, let alone leave the Eight Directions Star.

Also, the Eight Directions Star doesn’t belong to any of the worlds under the Four Great Realms and lacks a Realm Gate Passage. Thus, for beings on the Eight Directions Star, even the mightiest are doomed to remain trapped here for life.

The beings on this planet have no idea what lies beyond the sky.

"Little Feng, if one day I take you away from the Eight Directions, is there anything you want to do?" Li Chen gave the Earth Devouring Beast the name Little Feng, as it had never had a name of its own since its birth.

"Something I want to do?" Little Feng tilted its clumsy head, "I don’t know, really. Since I was with my parents, I only wanted to survive, nothing else. After my parents died, I stayed in the mountains for a while before meeting you. If there’s anything I want to do, it would be to follow you; whatever you say, I’ll do it."

Little Feng felt that its master was good to it. During their time together, the master provided it with many delicious plants it hadn’t tasted before and never once scolded or hit it.

Life with such a master seemed quite nice.

"Follow me?" Li Chen paused, then reached out to pat Little Feng’s big head, laughing, "Alright, then follow me."

With Li Chen’s abilities, let alone an Earth Devouring Beast with decent talent, he could even train a pig to become a Super Expert.

Yet, Li Chen didn’t plan much; everything was just done on a whim.

As his cultivation grew stronger and his status changed, Li Chen began to notice that except for his family, everyone else spoke to him with a degree of reverence.

Even those who ascended from Earth were like this, let alone the original subordinates of the Palace of the Nether King.

Though Li Chen understood this was inevitable, gaining something meant losing something else. However, the feeling of close ones growing distant wasn’t pleasant.

"Little Feng, if someone truly became undefeated in the world, what do you think that would feel like?"

Little Feng shook its big head, "I think they’d be very lonely."

"Lonely?"

"Yes, Master, think about it. Being undefeated means they can’t find a single opponent or anyone to communicate with as an equal. Wouldn’t they feel lonely and isolated?" Little Feng said naively.

Little Feng’s back was wide, and Li Chen lay flat on it, a blade of sweet grass in his mouth, saying nothing more.

He still had his family, so the feeling wasn’t too intense yet.

But the Supreme back then... must have been truly lonely.
