"Luo Chuan..."
Hearing Tang Luochuan's words, both parents couldn't help but take a quiet breath. A Super Douluo - this was truly something they had never dared to imagine before.
Could they really advance to become Super Douluos?
"Mom and Dad's potential is ultimately limited. Such precious heavenly treasures would be best absorbed by you and Wu Lin," Tang Ziran and Lang Yue exchanged glances before smiling and shaking their heads. Being able to break through to Titled Douluo level and perhaps one day reach the threshold of Red Mech Master was already more than satisfactory for them.
As for higher realms, they didn't believe they had that much potential, given their Innate Soul Power was only at level eight. Becoming Titled Douluos was already difficult enough - this was likely their ceiling.
If these two invaluable heavenly treasures were given to others, they could produce far greater value than if they kept them.
"Wu Lin and I already have our own arrangements, so no need to worry about us. What would be best is if you two could reach greater heights," Tang Luochuan quickly shook his head, amusement bubbling in his heart.
Mom and Dad couldn't break through to Super Douluo? What nonsense! While their Innate Soul Power might not have been impressive, with tenfold amplification, how could their potential not be formidable?
Had they forgotten how many levels their cultivation had risen in just these past few years? Two entire major realms!
"Really, Mom and Dad..." Tang Luochuan thought with some exasperation, a helpless expression on his face. "How could they still think they lack potential?"
"This..."
Hearing this, Tang Ziran and Lang Yue exchanged another glance, inevitably recalling their rapid cultivation progress in recent years. Well... when they thought about it that way...
"Did Na'er absorb some too?" Lang Yue suddenly thought of something, turning her gaze to Na'er standing beside Tang Luochuan.
"Auntie, I absorbed mine long ago!" Na'er replied cheerfully. "I was the first one to absorb it!" When they had visited the Icefire Yin-Yang Well, she had gone with Brother Luo Chuan, and the Lovesick Heartbreak Red had been absorbed immediately upon their return.
"Is that so?" Lang Yue smiled gently. "What about the others? Do they need these heavenly treasures..."
Seeing that Na'er, like Luo Chuan, had reached Soul King level, it seemed likely these treasures had contributed. But even if Luo Chuan, Wu Lin, Gu Yue and Na'er didn't need them, others might - like that boy from the Xie family or the girl from the Ouyang family...
"Preparations have been made for everyone else too," Tang Luochuan said immediately, as if anticipating his mother's question.
"In that case..." Tang Ziran and Lang Yue finally smiled in understanding, their faces brightening. "We'll accept these heavenly treasures."
Though they truly didn't hold much hope for further advancement, if there was a genuine opportunity to improve, they certainly wouldn't want to miss it.
"Then Mom and Dad..." Tang Ziran said, exchanging an expectant look with his wife. "Shall we attempt that Super Douluo realm?"
"..."
"Senior Tong Yu, will Luo Chuan be returning to our Star Luo Continent during this holiday? You mentioned before that you would ask him."
Meanwhile, at the Starlight Hotel in Eastsea City.
Tong Yu sat somewhat restlessly on the sofa, gripping the Communication Soul Device in his hand, a pensive expression on his face.
This day...
Had finally come!
As the guardian of Tang Luochuan and Tang Wulin, he not only kept a close watch on these two geniuses whom even their teachers admired but also regularly reported the former's situation to Her Highness the Princess.
After all, Princess Dai Yun'er had long harbored feelings for him, but now, of all times...
"Hmm..."
"Your Highness Yun'er, perhaps..."
"Luo Chuan Gongzi will not be returning to the Star Luo Continent."
Tong Yu took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"What?"
"Why not..."
Hearing this, Dai Yun'er was momentarily stunned.
"You could tell him that I miss him, just not too directly, he..."
"Surely he wouldn't refuse me, would he?"
Dai Yun'er took a deep breath, her face tinged with sorrow. Could it be that Luo Chuan truly had no feelings for her at all?
It shouldn't be like this, it really shouldn't!
Or had another girl appeared by Luo Chuan's side, surrounding him so completely that he wouldn't come to the Star Luo Continent to see her anymore?
"..."
"Your Highness Yun'er, it's not what you think. The situation is different."
Tong Yu wore a helpless expression. If he could say it, he would, but now, Luo Chuan Gongzi...
Already had a girlfriend!
"What do you mean, different?"
"Senior, you can speak plainly. I can accept it."
Dai Yun'er gritted her teeth and spoke.
"Very well."
"Luo Chuan Gongzi is in a relationship."
Tong Yu paused before responding.
Such news had to be told to his little princess sooner or later. The longer it was delayed, the more problems it might cause.
"..."
The response was a silence so profound it was almost suffocating, eventually dissolving into a series of beeps.
"Your Highness..."
"She hung up."
Tong Yu tossed the Soul Device aside helplessly. This was exactly what he had expected. He could only hope Her Highness wouldn't grieve for too long.
"Luo Chuan is in a relationship?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible..."
After hanging up, Dai Yun'er frantically scrolled through her contacts to find the pinned user and hastily dialed, muttering to herself.
Luo Chuan would never be in a relationship, never!
Luo Chuan could only be her consort, only hers. No one else was allowed to take him away!
Anyone else could be with someone, but not Luo Chuan!
It's a lie, it must be a lie!
Senior Tong Yu was lying to her! She had to get to the bottom of this!
"Hmm?"
"What's this..."
At Tang Luochuan's home, Na'er was sprawled on her brother's small bed, watching the buzzing Communication Device beside her. She blinked, then grabbed it.
At this moment, the owner of the device was in the shower.
"Yun'er..."
"Isn't that the princess from the Star Luo royal family who has a connection with Brother?"
Na'er murmured thoughtfully.
Hmph, and he said there was nothing between them...
Look how intimately he's labeled her!
As she thought this, her large eyes flickered with contemplation, and she silently pressed the answer button.
"Luo Chuan, where are you now? Can you come to the Star Luo Continent to see me during this holiday?"
"I..."
"I want to tell you so many things."
Seeing that the call had connected, Dai Yun'er felt a wave of relief and quickly spoke up.
She absolutely had to ask properly...
She had to clear up this misunderstanding!
"Um..."
"Your Highness Yun'er, Luo Chuan is taking a shower right now. If you have something to say, would it be convenient to talk later?"
"..."
Hearing these words from across the Star Luo Continent, the last line of defense in Dai Yun'er's heart shattered.
"No..."
"This can't be true."
In that moment, a little girl's sparkling spirit broke into pieces.
