Chapter 156 I'm Back

"I'm back."

Chen Luo muttered to himself with a smile on his face outside Blue Star.

Mi Fan lost the laws of fate, causing the power of fate surrounding Blue Star to disappear, and Blue Star was exposed.

This was the biggest reason for Chen Luo's return.

Chen Luo had planted a World Tree on Blue Star and then left, not personally watching Blue Star recover.

Almost a year later, he returned to Blue Star.

The first thing he saw was a towering giant tree, the World Tree.

The World Tree spewed out a massive amount of spiritual energy every day, nourishing Blue Star and improving the potential of every living being on it.

A World Tree seed cost at least thirty million amethyst crystals.

Chen Luo smiled and glanced at the World Tree before returning directly to the Dragon Kingdom.

From above, it was a verdant green.

The air was clear, and the scenery was picturesque. In a short time, Blue Star had undergone a huge transformation.

Everywhere he looked, he saw lush wheat fields and fruit trees laden with fruit.

The survivors didn't have to work hard to plant. The fruit and vegetable seeds Chen Luo sent back were extremely high-yielding and full of nutrition.

Even if they lazed around, they would never go hungry.

Piglets, sheep, and cattle were also everywhere.

There was no shortage of any supplies.

Chen Luo didn't see a single zombie or mutated creature. Presumably, Shu Yun, Su Dazhu, and the others had wiped them all out.

Chen Luo had given them a lot of cultivation resources. Reaching the Emperor-level wasn't difficult. With Emperor-level cultivators, how could the former zombies and mutated creatures possibly resist?

Several new cities stood proudly, but what left Chen Luo speechless was the huge statue in the city center of the main city.

Lifelike and full of spirit.

It was a statue of Chen Luo.

Blue Star's hero, Chen Luo.

Hmm, this didn't seem like something Su Dazhu would do.

Chen Luo suddenly appeared in the main city, wanting to take a look first. This city was where Chen Luo's original base had been located.

The city wasn't large, with only about a hundred thousand people. Blue Star's population couldn't recover in a short time.

Chen Luo released Mi Li, Mi Ling, and the others, changing their appearances to avoid trouble.

The group strolled through the streets arm in arm, their eyes full of curiosity and smiles.

The aroma of fried chicken wafted over, and Xiao Hong, who was following behind, was expressionless.

Mi Fan looked over, reading the sign of the fried chicken shop aloud.

"Zhao Dezhu Fried Chicken."

Yo, who was so bold, zhao de zhu (to be able to handle it).

Let's see how this fried chicken tastes and fill our stomachs.

"Welcome."

The fried chicken shop wasn't large, only about thirty square meters, but the person in charge of greeting customers was actually a cat-eared girl.

Oh, right, he had brought back a lot of cat-eared girls.

Mi Fan was a little excited. Meow Meow Sect, your sect leader has returned.

Chen Luo smiled and said, "Give us each a serving of fried chicken."

Chen Luo suddenly remembered that he didn't have any money. He had a lot of amethyst crystals, but did Blue Star accept amethyst crystals?

He glanced at the menu, which said that a serving of fried chicken cost 0.8 points.

Weren't points the currency used in his former base? Where would he get points now?

At this moment, a young couple walked up behind them. The woman looked to be in her early twenties, with a pregnant belly.

The man said, "Hey, you're pregnant now. Eating fried chicken isn't healthy."

The woman's voice was very familiar. "What I'm eating isn't just fried chicken, it's nostalgia. During the disaster, whether I could eat fried chicken depended on the leader's mood. Fried chicken is my spiritual pillar."

Chen Luo looked at the woman in disbelief. Zhao Ziyi?

Seeing Zhao Ziyi wasn't surprising to Chen Luo, but what was surprising was that Zhao Ziyi was already married and had a child.

That's right, Zhao Ziyi was probably 22, so it wasn't strange.

Mi Ling blurted out, "Zhao Ziyi?"

The cat-eared waitress greeted, "Boss."

Uh, Zhao Ziyi opened a fried chicken shop, named Zhao Dezhu.

Zhao Ziyi was now at the peak of the King-level. Her strength wasn't too strong, but she had a real background and was very familiar with Su Dazhu, Ma Yu, Shu Yun, and the others.

Could this relationship not be able to handle things?

Hearing Mi Ling's voice, Zhao Ziyi was first stunned. Looking at the group, they looked unfamiliar, but their figures, temperament, and Chen Luo's knowing smile...

Chen Luo smiled and said, "I didn't eat much of the fried chicken I stockpiled. It was all eaten by you, Meng Yin, and Xiao Yu."

Zhao Ziyi said in disbelief and delight, "Leader? Sister Mi Ling?"

Chen Luo chuckled. Zhao Ziyi actually had someone who wanted her.

Zhao Ziyi briskly hugged everyone.

Chen Luo joked, "Before, you had to see my mood to eat fried chicken. Now, I'm eating fried chicken. You won't look at my mood, right? I don't have any money."

Zhao Ziyi said incoherently, "I'm very generous. Eat whatever you want."

Hmm, the fried chicken tasted alright.

Zhao Ziyi said, "Sister Xiong is selling fruit not far across the street."

It wasn't that Zhao Ziyi or Xiong Wenhui were down on their luck, but people always had to find something to do for themselves. No matter how strong they were, they had to make a contribution.

Chen Luo nodded. "We'll go to your Sister Yu's place for lunch. We'll take a look ourselves."

People were coming and going. Blue Star had regained its vitality and order. Chen Luo was in a great mood.

Xiong Wenhui was actually selling fruit.

A pile of watermelons was prominently displayed at the entrance of the store.

Inside the store, a tall, thin man was kneeling on several prickly fruits with a bitter face.

The burly Xiong Wenhui cursed, "You dare to fool around? Can't I satisfy you?"

The man cried, "I didn't. I just took a look, really. Forgive me this once. Can I kneel at home tonight?"

Xiong Wenhui snorted. "See if you dare to do it again. If you dare, I'll crush your..."

Mi Fan's eyes darted around, and she said playfully, "Boss, are your melons guaranteed to be ripe?"

Who knew that Xiong Wenhui would turn around and shout, "Are you trying to pick a fight?"

Mi Fan was dumbfounded. Why weren't you following the script?

Xiong Wenhui had always had a fiery temper. Since she started selling melons, many acquaintances had made this kind of joke with her. If she was in a good mood, she would play along.

Chen Luo smiled and said, "Old Xiong, your temper is still the same."

Xiong Wenhui put her hands on her hips. "Who are you? You can't call me Old Xiong..."

Xiong Wenhui recognized Chen Luo and instantly changed her face, becoming extremely excited. She pounced on him like a bear.

"Haha, Leader, I've missed you, Old Xiong!"

Chen Luo wasn't even as tall as Xiong Wenhui and was pinned down tightly.

Chen Luo smiled wryly. Fortunately, Xiong Wenhui looked very safe, even safer than Zhao Ziyi, so Mi Li wouldn't overthink it.

Chen Luo sighed. "Less than a year has passed since I left, and the two people I've seen, you and Zhao Ziyi, are both married."

Xiong Wenhui said, "Could it be that I look like Shu... increasing the population, responding to the call, having more babies."

Chen Luo looked at Xiong Wenhui's man with pity. So thin? Was he being exploited?

Chen Luo asked, "By the way, what about Meng Yin? Is Meng Yin married too?"

Xiong Wenhui said, "No, Meng Yin is very powerful now. She's Doctor Meng Yin, Blue Star's chief naturalist."
