Chapter 979: Chapter 969: A Showdown with the Women!_1
Luo Yu sat on the lawn, shirtless, his robust upper body catching the rapt attention of the women around him.
Scattered about him were discarded long dresses, rolled up black stockings, and high heels that had tumbled to the ground.
"I was planning to tell you this later, but since you've figured it out, I might as well tell you now."
"So there was something you were hiding from us," Bi Bidong hummed lightly.
Gu Yuena nodded, "I knew my hunch wouldn't be wrong."
"Brother Yu, what's been weighing on your mind?" Xiaowu felt perplexed, "With your formidable power now unrivaled in Douluo, how could you have any worries?"
Luo Yu shrugged and chuckled bitterly,
"Take a guess, what do you think is bothering me?"
Bi Bidong thought for a moment.
"Could it be related to the many predecessors who appeared before?"
"Other than that, I can hardly think of anything else that could trouble you, my husband."
"Exactly," Luo Yu nodded, not dragging out the suspense, his gaze distant, "Actually, you all must have realized this."
"My homeland isn't in Soul Land; to Soul Land, I am an outsider."
"Mhm."
The women nodded, expressing no surprise.
Considering the history of Soul Land, it was unlikely to have produced so many terrifyingly strong forebears, making Luo Yu's origins rather extraordinary.
But neither the women nor the creatures of Soul Land cared about this.
After all, the enemies had been repelled by Luo Yu and his ancestors, and it was Luo Yu who had saved Soul Land, achieving true unification, turning everyone nearly into dragons in a thriving land, so grateful were they that nobody would hold it against him.
Luo Yu continued, "Like You Ming Sacred Heaven, my homeland exists in a far more distant place in the universe."
"To be honest, I don't even know how far Douluo Planet is from my homeland."
"Brother Yu, are you homesick?" Bi Bidong's eyes softened, feeling sympathetic.
Being away from home for so many years, never able to return, he must find the experience quite unpleasant.
Luo Yu looked around at his wives, with tears welling up in their eyes, and he couldn't help but laugh,
"I was an orphan in my homeland, there is no 'home' for me to miss, the home I have is the one I've made with you."
"It's just that I've been away from that place called Earth for so long, so long that I indeed wish to return and take a look."
Gu Yuena and the others nodded in understanding; after all, he had named the organization they built together the Yan Huang Alliance, clearly holding that distant land close to his heart, the man simply didn't voice it.
"Brother Yu, if you want to go back, then go and have a look," Xiaowu suggested, her beautiful eyes shimmering.
Luo Yu shook his head with a smile, "It's not that easy to return."
"With my current cultivation level, I wouldn't even know how long it would take to return to Earth."
"Perhaps we could ask the ancestors to help send you back," Bi Bidong said, her eyes bright with hope.
"That might be possible, but…" Luo Yu sighed deeply, his eyes filled with reluctance.
"But what?" The women's hearts tightened as they saw the longing in his eyes.
"But then I wouldn't know when I could come back again."
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
But soon Gu Yuena came forward to sit down, her legs extended on the green lawn, her arm looping through Luo Yu's.
"Brother Yu, Nana can go with you, wherever you go, I'll be there," she said.
"I'll go with you, too," Bi Bidong said without hesitation.
Qian Renxue also quickly responded that she wanted to leave together.
"I'm coming too!"
"Brother Yu, you can't leave me behind here."
"Our family must always stick together."
All the women became anxious, none of them willing to be left behind.
Though Luo Yu was moved, he still shook his head gently and chided softly:
"Nonsense."
"Actually, the situation is like this."
"My achievements today are thanks not only to my own efforts and the mutual support between us as husband and wife but also greatly related to the cultivation by the Huaxia ancestors."
"Even one could say, without them, there would be no Luo Yu today."
The group of women nodded, showing their agreement.
After all, if the six Progenitors hadn't attacked Luo Yu, and if the Huaxia Ancestors hadn't come to his aid, not only would Luo Yu have been finished, but Soul Land would have also become dust in the universe, with all creatures meeting a catastrophic fate.
Luo Yu continued, "In fact, they've been laying out their plans for so many years and made such great sacrifices, all just to request one thing from me."
"What thing?" The women furrowed their brows, feeling that the matter wouldn't be simple.
The capabilities of the Huaxia's powers were unmatched throughout history, and any request they made would definitely not be easy to fulfill.
Luo Yu recalled, "The ancestors' true bodies have been forced to remain in a very dangerous place, and now our Ancestral Star, also known as Earth, has encountered a crisis that requires me to go back and save it."
"They gave me five years to consider, I could accept or refuse."
"Although I could refuse, how could I possibly turn them down?"
"When my hometown faces disaster, and the other Huaxia Ancestors are unable to take action, how could I just stand by and do nothing?"
"However, once I go back, it's uncertain when I can return or even if I can survive the crisis, so naturally, I treasure the time I spend with you all the more."
"I'm sorry I haven't talked to you about this."
"My husband—"
The women called out softly, their faces tense, as pair after pair of beautiful eyes focused on Luo Yu.
Gu Yuena clasped Luo Yu's hand.
"Husband, don't apologize, we don't blame you."
"We all support your decision."
"Right," Bi Bidong nodded, "To marry a chicken is to follow the chicken, to marry a dog is to follow the dog. Our husband's hometown naturally becomes our hometown as wives. Now that Soul Land is peaceful, it's time for Brother Yu to go home."
Luo Yu's expression stiffened.
His heart was deeply touched, but somehow Dong'er's words seemed a bit awkward to him.
The Life God King said warmly:
"Husband, we as spouses don't need to say sorry for such small matters; we all support you. But you can't go back alone, you have to take us with you."
Luo Yu shook his head.
"No!"
"I'm still unclear about the crisis level of the Ancestral Star. It would be rash to take you there, and if any of you were injured, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life."
Gu Yuena gripped the man's hand firmly and said resolutely:
"Since we've become husband and wife, we must stick together no matter where we go, sharing life and facing death together."
"Right." All the women crowded in front of Luo Yu, forming a close circle around him with their beauty, ample curves, slim waists, perky behinds, and long legs, so tight that not even a breeze could pass through.
Luo Yu said with a bitter smile:
"In these three extra years I've stayed, I wanted to spend quality time with you all, fearing that you'd insist on coming with me."
"If there really is danger back on Earth, I don't know what might happen, and I fear I won't be able to rescue you in time."
The usually understanding wives were exceptionally stubborn today.
"We don't care! If we're going, we're going together!"
