Chapter 519: Chapter 8: Strange Tree

A few days later, Lin Yu returned to Emperor Star. After leaving the Future Star Building, he went to a restaurant.

As soon as he entered, he ran into an acquaintance—Liu Wan’Er.

Liu Wan’Er saw him too and greeted him happily, "Mr. Lin!"

"Miss Wan’Er!"

"Mr. Lin, what are you doing on Emperor Star? Aren’t you supposed to be on a mission?"

"Sigh... My dad insisted I come here for a blind date. I had no choice, so I have to meet her before I can go on my mission."

"What a coincidence! I’m here for a blind date too." Liu Wan’Er covered her mouth and smiled. "My date couldn’t be you, could it?"

"Hm?"

Hearing what Liu Wan’Er said, it dawned on Lin Yu. He glanced at where Liu Wan’Er was sitting, then looked at the information on his communicator.

"Purple dress, a marigold on the table? It really is you? ’Glazed Bowl’?"

"’Old Tree Blooms’?"

"Hahaha, it seems we’re really fated to meet."

"It really is!"

The two of them then spent a pleasant afternoon together.

As night fell, they returned to the front of the Future Star Building.

"Alright, I guess this is where we part ways. Thanks for spending the afternoon with me and being my guide."

"Don’t mention it. I just know Emperor Star better than you do. Brother Lin, um... after you finish your mission, can we... meet up again?"

Lin Yu smiled, looking at the bold girl before him. "I don’t think that’s likely. But since we’re so fated to meet, if you run into any trouble at ’Star of the Future,’ you can come find me."

"Why?"

Hearing the girl’s stubborn question, Lin Yu thought for a moment and decided to completely crush her hopes. "It’s impossible for us. We’re now... reproductively isolated."

"You’re already..."

"Yes. I’m already a Rank-Two Extraordinary. So..."

"I see. In that case, Mr. Lin, let’s part ways here."

After saying that, Liu Wan’Er ran into the Future Star Building without looking back.

Lin Yu gave a bitter smile. After waiting in place for a moment, he also entered the building, then used the Teleportation Array inside to return to his territory.

The moment he returned to his territory, Lin Yu was ambushed by his mother, who had been lying in wait for him.

"Sweetie, how did the blind date go? You were gone for so long, you must have had a good chat, right?"

"Mom, I just realized I can’t marry a normal girl now."

"What? Now that you’re a lord, you look down on normal girls? Do you have to find some peerless beauty?"

"Mom~~ Do you really think I’m that kind of person? A normal girl could lose her life being with me!"

"Isn’t making a new life the whole point of marriage?"

"Jeez, Mom, that’s not the ’life’ I’m talking about! The thing is, my stats are a bit too high now. Look!"

As he spoke, Lin Yu cast a Protective Shield on his mother, then threw a punch at the sky.

Accompanied by a deafening sonic boom, the phantom of a fist shot into the air, and the clouds in the sky were instantly scattered.

"See? If I were to... you know... with a normal girl now, she wouldn’t be able to take it at all."

Seeing this, Xiao Cailin understood, but it only made her more worried. "You... you were supposed to just be a lord, how did you end up turning yourself into an Extraordinary Being?"

"Now look what you’ve done. What are we going to do about you getting married now!"

"Oh, right!" Xiao Cailin suddenly clapped her hands together. "I think Chenxi in your territory is quite nice. She’s an Extraordinary Being too, right? Why don’t you and her..."

"Whoa, Mom~ that’s even more impossible. We’re not even the same race anymore. It’s completely out of the question." Lin Yu shook his head repeatedly.

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Sigh..." Xiao Cailin looked crestfallen, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts.

"Wait, that’s not right. There are so many Extraordinary Beings in the Empire, and lots of them are married, aren’t they? I don’t believe that just because you’ve become an Extraordinary, you can’t get married and have kids. I have to go ask around."

Then, Xiao Cailin scurried off in a hurry, leaving Lin Yu standing in front of the Teleportation Array with a wry smile.

He shook his head and returned to the Lord’s Mansion. In front of the World Tree, he saw Chenxi pacing back and forth.

"My Lord!" Chenxi saw Lin Yu as well. She immediately ran to his side and started looking all around behind him.

"Chenxi, what are you looking for?"

"My Lord, I’m looking for our future lady of the manor. I heard you went on a blind date. How come I don’t see you bringing the lady of the manor back with you?"

"It was just a blind date. Why does everyone think I was going to get married on the spot?"

"With my current stats, it’s impossible with a normal person."

"Anyway, tell me, how are the preparations for the trip to that virus planet?"

Hearing Lin Yu’s words, Chenxi subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. "My Lord, we’ve already rented a spaceship on the planet closest to Planet UY-884. It’ll be ready for you to use as soon as you get there."

"Good. I’ll teleport over in a bit."

"Oh, right!" Before entering the door, Lin Yu gave an order, "We have an Anti-Gravity Engine now. Let’s break through the space-faring technologies as soon as possible. We’ll probably be using spaceships frequently from now on, so we can’t keep renting them from others, can we?"

...

「Three days later.」

Lin Yu’s avatar, riding in a rented single-person spaceship, arrived at Planet UY-884.

"What a beautiful planet!"

When Lin Yu saw the planet, he couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

Planet UY-884 was a vibrant emerald green overall. It seemed that after being infected by the virus, its ecosystem had actually flourished.

One thing was strange, however. From space, Lin Yu couldn’t see any water on Planet UY-884. It was as if the entire planet consisted only of plants.

After observing for a short while, Lin Yu piloted the spaceship into the planet’s atmosphere and landed in a forest.

"Whoa~~ The air quality is amazing. There’s even some natural energy here. It seems quite suitable for living."

The moment he stepped off the spaceship, Lin Yu took a deep breath. He didn’t taste anything bad; he couldn’t even feel the dense concentration of viruses he’d expected. The air was unexpectedly fresh.
