Hearing the words of Saint Lin Dong, Lu Ze’s eyes lit up suddenly. He now had the strongest people in the Federation as his backers!
Could he be a cocky second-generation? However, just as Lu Ze had such a thought, he realized this wasn’t in line with his character.
He was originally a relatively low-key individual. Hence, he would feel a bit embarrassed about becoming a high-profile person.
At this time, Saint Lin Dong looked at Lin Ling with a complicated expression. “Your great-grandpa still doesn’t plan to come back?”
Although elder Lin’s statue was constructed in the Palace of Heroes, the saints were well-aware that the former wasn’t actually dead.
Lin Ling nodded. “Great-grandpa is still unable to recover.”
In turn, Lin Dong sighed. “Only a few of us old guys remain. We’re still all here, and the Federation is stable. So what if he has no power?”
Nevertheless, since elder Lin has insisted on such a decision, Lin Dong wouldn’t naturally say much. Lin Ling didn’t say anything either, but there were just a few weeks until the holidays. She would take Yingying back and see whether the latter could perhaps cure her grandpa. She was very hopeful.
Saint Lin Dong waved his hand. “Okay, the ceremony is over. Your rewards will be given to you guys after you get back. Don’t waste your talents, and be diligent in cultivation.” Lu Ze and Lin Ling nodded.
“Go.”
The two then left under the gaze of the senators. Thereafter, Lu Ze and Lin Ling returned to that ice house to change their clothes and left the city with the guards’ lead.
Leaving the blizzard area, Lu Ze and Lin Ling flew back to China City.
At this moment, Lu Ze suddenly felt a cold sensation. It was as though someone with malicious intent was lurking around. He scanned the area around them vigilantly, but he failed to discover anything in the end.
Lu Ze frowned.
What happened?
Did people want to harm him?
Noticing the alertness in Lu Ze, Lin Ling asked in curiosity, “What happened?”.
When Lu Ze heard the question, he shook his head. “I feel like someone is targeting me?”
Could this probably be an illusion?
Lu Ze stopped thinking about it.
Soon, he recalled the extremely cool title he had received. Immediately, the wariness just then was swept away by happiness. Lu Ze beamed a smile and looked at Lin Ling, saluting her with his fist in a serious manner. “I’m the Monarch of the New Daw, Lu Ze. What is your name, girl?”
Lin Ling: “…”
She silently clenched her fists as she watched Lu Ze’s smug expression.
On the other hand, Lu Ze felt her killing intent and sensed that Lin Ling was about to attack. He quickly changed the topic then. “Hmm? Lin Ling, why are you prettier than yesterday?”
Lin Ling: “…”
Why was she even angry with this retard?
She lowered her fists and rolled her eyes. “Let’s hurry back.”
The two soon reached the suite. Upon entering the door, they saw Nangong Jing, Qiuyue Hesha, and Yingying staring at their phones.
Lu Ze asked curiously, “What are you guys doing?”
Nangong Jing put her phone away and smiled. “Nothing.”
Qiuyue Hesha looked seductively at Lu Ze. “Oh, our Monarch of the New Dawn is back.”
Lu Ze immediately grinned and saluted with his fists, saying “I’m Monarch of the New Dawn, Lu Ze, what are your names, girls?”
The three girls: “…”
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and Qiuyue Hesha walked over to Lu Ze. She slid her fingers across Lu Ze’s face and said softly, “Little brother Lu Ze, how do you want to call me?”
Lu Ze’s body and face went stiff.
Oh shit! The fox demon used seduction god art?
It was a good thing he quickly sat down.
At this moment, Nangong Jing suddenly appeared next to Lu Ze. Subsequently, he felt a painful sensation coming from his forehead.
“Wait… I’m sorry!”
Lin Ling silently approached Yingying and covered her curious blue eyes.
Half an hour later, Lu Ze lay lifelessly on the couch. On the side were the satisfied Nangong Jing and Qiuyue Hesha.
Why did they have to treat him like this? Lu Ze strongly objected to this.
At this juncture, Lu Ze asked a question. “By the way, what about the young duke title?”
Nangong Jing smiled. “The announcement will take a few days. This will be decided by the vote of all the people.”
Lu Ze felt a bit flustered about this. “Would it actually be Playboy Young Duke?”
He wanted a cool-sounding title.
Qiuyue Hesha smiled. “We’ll know then.”
Lu Ze nodded helplessly.
Then, his eyes lit up and a smile crossed his face. “It’s lunchtime. Let’s go get lunch!”
Yingying immediately raised her hands in excitement. “Let’s get lunch!”
She had a great time eating yesterday! “Let’s go.”
At night, the vibrant stars decorated the black sky. The food street of China City was very quiet.
Lu Ze and the rest exited a hotpot restaurant again.
In a single afternoon, until the night arrived, they managed to finish the entire street once more.
Lu Ze glanced at the closed restaurant doors. Meanwhile, Yingying’s eyes were full of dismay.
Lin Ling rolled her eyes at Lu Ze. “Stop looking, we’re going back.”
Lu Ze sighed. They discussed and settled that they would be returning to the Dawn System tonight. After all, they came to Earth just for the ceremony, and that was over now. The group then proceed to the Earth-Moon rail, went back to the moon, and then boarded the Golden Whirl.
Lu Ze stood in front of the window. He looked at the blue planet that was gradually getting distant. A trace of reluctance could be seen in his eyes. He had only been back for a day, and he was leaving again.
However, he would be back!
Nangong Jing suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, Ze and Lin Ling, you need to prepare for a young duke celebration.”
“Young duke celebration?”
“Mhm, you have just become young dukes. You still need to get to know the other young dukes and Federal high-levels. There should be a lot of military districts, famous schools of the Dawn System, and some prodigy adventure teams inviting you over to join. They venture outside the Milky Way Galaxy.”
“Of course, you’re still students now, so these adventure teams don’t suit you. Nevertheless, there will be an opportunity for cooperation in the future. It’s good to get to know each other.”At this moment, Qiuyue Hesha grinned. “What little brother Lu Ze probably needs is not a celebration for a young duke but a celebration for a monarch, is it?”
Nangong Jing felt dazed. “Mhm, it should be a celebration for a monarch.”
Lu Ze smiled triumphantly. “A monarch celebration… Am I the first to have one?”
The three girls immediately rolled their eyes at Lu Ze.
Lin Ling asked, “How should you organize a young duke celebration?”.
Qiuyue Hesha smiled. “It’s usually held within half a year of becoming a young duke. You decide the location yourself. Of course, you need to work on how you treat the guests. Most importantly, as a new young duke, you need to show your power.”
Lu Ze’s mouth twitched. “Can we not do this?”
This was so troublesome.
