The Wei Wu Army headed north. The cities they passed by all closed off their entrances. Lu Shu was rather curious. Although he had killed many people in the palace, they did not have to close off their cities when he came, right?
Later on, Lu Shu realized that every time he passed by a city, he would mysteriously earn a wave of distress points. What was happening?
When Lu Shu curiously asked Liu Yizhao and the rest about this, they did not know whether to laugh or to cry. Coupled with this was the trouble that the Wei Wu Army had caused earlier. They had stolen far too much grains from others…
But when Li Heitan, Liu Yizhao, and the rest talked about this, they did not feel stressed. They knew what their Great Lord was like. As long as they paid the cost price and not actually steal the grains, their Great Lord would not mind. After all, the Great Lord was the true bandit…
Along the way, Lu Xiaoyu curiously asked, “Didn’t you say that we would give them refresher fruits when we return to Earth? Why have you given them the fruits in advance?”
“Haven’t you guessed why?” Lu Shu laughed cheerily.
Lu Xiaoyu glanced at Lu Shu. She knew that Lu Shu had changed his plans when the Wei Wu Army charged into the palace.
At first, they had discussed that they would leave the soap factory and some refresher fruits to them before they left. Then, Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu would return to Earth and never come back.
But now, it was as if Lu Shu was no longer thinking about this. When he took out the refresher fruits in advance, it meant that Lu Shu had decided to bring the Wei Wu Army back to Earth!
“You had better think carefully about it. We have over 5000 mouths here. They have to eat everyday,” said Lu Xiaoyu. She knew how much they ate, since she was the one in charge of the accounts.
According to normal standards, the amount of food that the Wei Wu Army ate in one day was enough to feed another army of the same size for five or six days!
They could still support this rate. Lu Shu even took out grains from his Seal of Lands. He did not ask for anything from the cities they passed by in order to avoid unexpected trouble.
The large organizations who had surrounded Tiger’s Back back then were very generous. The dozens of warehouses full of daily necessities, as well as the cargo on the sea, were enough for Lu Shu to feel secure.
Others said that grains should move before men and horses, but Lu Shu carried grains with him. It was enough for the Wei Wu Army not to return for another three to four years…
But three to four years were nothing to Practitioners. If Lu Shu wanted to bring the Wei Wu Army back to the Earth with him, he had to face the issue of earning money once again…
“The Heavenly Network should be able to help us resolve this. They are strong men.” Lu Shu thought about it and said, “Although the Heavenly Network is very strong on Earth, the Wei Wu Army is not a level above them.”
The Wei Wu Army trained as they marched. After everyone had eaten the refresher fruits, they started to advance. When they returned to Earth, there might not even be any Rank Threes.
Many Heavenly Kings in the Heavenly Network were Rank Twos. If he brought back over 5000 experts who were on the same level as the Heavenly Kings, would the organizations on Earth be afraid…
Of course, Lu Shu felt that the Wei Wu Army could not assert dominance, as the mission of the Heavenly Network was to protect their territory. However, the Wei Wu Army did not have the same intentions.
Thus, it would be a problem to integrate the Wei Wu Army.
Lu Shu did not feel that he would return to the Luniverse. He was tired of the battles here. He was tired of the vortex of authority here. Furthermore, the other side of the barrier between the two worlds represented Lu Shu’s pleasant memories.
Lu Shu did not even know how many refresher fruits he had fed the Wei Wu Army with. Everyday, he thought about how to gain these distress points back. If not, he would feel discontent.
Thus, the Wei Wu Army started to train and do homework while they advanced. Li Heitan and the rest were dumbfounded. What was this?!
At night, they set up their tents.
“Great Lord, what do you think the world on the other side of the space pathway is like?” Li Heitan asked curiously.
“Have you done your homework? Why are you asking so much?” Lu Shu asked.
Li Heitan was confused.
“From Li Heitan’s distress, +666!”
Suddenly, Li Heitan realized that back then, when he asked senior disciple Little Fury whether he would follow the army or the mice, senior disciple had said that he did not dare to follow…
Senior disciple was very wise…
Li Heitan said, “I don’t think that the Great Lord knows nothing. You might know what is behind the barrier between the two worlds.”
Lu Shu picked his eyebrows. “Let me tell you. You have asked the right person…”
“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +199!”
Lu Xiaoyu gave a look of disgust. When would Lu Shu stop being so childish?
At that moment, Yi Qian had bought information regarding the West Region. There were many Black Feather Army troops gathering outside the space pathway. Thus, the situation was hard to control.
Thus, the Wei Wu Army now knew that after Duanmu Huangqi had left the palace, he had gone there, but left because the space pathway had temporarily closed.
Now, the soldiers were waiting for the space pathway to open up again. This time, Duanmu Huangqi would personally go there!
But this was no longer uncommon to the Wei Wu Army. After all, when they had set off, they knew that the Great Lord would lead them to fight against the Black Feather Army. It was a matter of time before they had to face Duanmu Huangqi.
As for Li Heitan and the rest, they were curious about the new world beyond the space pathway.
People were innately curious. They wanted to know whether the people from that world looked different from the people in the Luniverse. They also wanted to know how the food tasted like there…
But they did not know that Lu Shu was from that world.
Lu Shu thought about it and said, “That place is called the Earth.They also have the four seasons, as well as night and day. In spring, children will go outdoors and fly kites.They will hold a string and run like the wind. The kite will fly higher and higher in the sky. In summer, the adults will bring the children to swim. The children who cannot swim will play in the water and have a lot of fun. In autumn, the sides of the roads will be filled with fallen yellow leaves. There are plenty of fruits to harvest as well. In winter, children will have snowball fights on the streets. They will stuff snowballs into their friends’ clothes… there is a lot of good food, more than in the Luniverse…”
All the soldiers of the Wei Wu Army gathered around the bonfire where Lu Shu was at and listened quietly. Lu Xiaoyu sat beside Lu Shu and watched the fire.
She knew that everything Lu Shu said was what he had desired in the past. The kites in the orphanage were old and tattered. Some were even spoilt and could not fly at all.
In summer, the teachers would not bring them swimming. Occasionally, they would see adults carrying floats and walking past the orphanage with children. The children in the orphanage would clamor at the gates and watch them enviously.
The fruits in autumn had nothing to do with them. There was snow in winter, but Lu Shu had no friends.
Back then, Lu Shu was very lonely. Lu Shu had always been lonely.
But it was fine now. Lu Xiaoyu silently thought about it. She would definitely follow Lu Shu until the seas were dried up and the sky collapsed, as long as Lu Shu allowed it.
