CHAPTER 768: CHAPTER 691: REACHING THE PEAK 90 (4,000 WORDS)

I made some changes today and added six hundred extra words as compensation. Don’t worry, since it’s edited, the extra words are on the house.

Shuangshuang just returned from the battlefield. Continuing cultivation is impossible. The high-intensity combat itself is a form of powerful cultivation, and any further training wouldn’t be beneficial for the body.

Most importantly, those returning from the battlefield need to relax, to unwind and avoid being affected by the negative emotions on the battlefield, which could affect one’s Heart Realm. The best way to relax is to travel and expand one’s horizons.

When Lu Tianyi asked Shuangshuang about her plans, he was asking if she had decided where to travel. Shuangshuang hadn’t thought about it, but Lu Tianyi’s question made her ponder.

Though it’s about traveling, primarily for relaxation and broadening horizons, Shuangshuang wants to leave Baiyue Country and visit other major countries. Currently, in Baiyue Country, her combat prowess is comparable to a Martial Venerate and already top-notch. Staying longer won’t present her with stronger opponents to help her grow.

However, in those countries larger than Baiyue, a Martial Venerate is not the top power. It’s said that there are even stronger beings above a Martial Venerate, and Shuangshuang wants to experience just how powerful those people are.

As she stirred the noodles in her bowl, Shuangshuang didn’t hide her thoughts and directly told Lu Tianyi, "This time, I’m planning to leave Baiyue Country and visit other countries. Although Baiyue isn’t small, it’s not the biggest. I’ve heard that far from Baiyue, there are empires much bigger than Baiyue, filled with countless talents and capable people. I want to explore that broader world."

Lu Tianyi was taken aback. He didn’t expect Shuangshuang was planning to leave Baiyue Country, and this stirred some excitement in him as well, since he himself enjoyed wandering around.

When he was young, Lu Tianyi’s biggest dream was to achieve cultivation success and travel the world. He once thought of visiting places mentioned in the travelogues of his predecessors.

But that idea remained just an idea, because Lu Tianyi wasn’t strong enough. The capability of a Great Martial Artist wasn’t enough to support him going too far, as many of the places he wanted to see were filled with dangers he couldn’t yet face.

Though these places are dangerous, if he could travel with Shuangshuang, with her strong combat power, his safety would be assured.

However, there’s one thing Lu Tianyi isn’t very confident about, which is his cultivation. He’s always been responsible for transporting supplies and didn’t need to go to the battlefield, so his cultivation hasn’t progressed quickly.

Although the Demon Clan has been at war for a long time, Lu Tianyi hasn’t faced much combat, so his cultivation hasn’t progressed fast. He’s now only at the Great Martial Artist Perfection level, which still isn’t enough for significant training outside. He’s unsure if Shuangshuang would want to take him along.

Even though his cultivation is relatively weak, Lu Tianyi thinks he is quite useful in some areas, like dealing with external relations. Having known Shuangshuang for a long time, Lu Tianyi knows she dislikes trouble and isn’t skilled at dealing with people.

Lu Tianyi wants to go with Shuangshuang, not only to fulfill his travel dream but also out of concern that Shuangshuang might face setbacks due to her lack of interpersonal skills.

Unlike her, Lu Tianyi is a socially adept person. No matter where he goes, he can quickly make a group of friends. By traveling with Shuangshuang, Lu Tianyi feels he can help her deal with diplomatic matters she’s not good at.

Thinking about this, Lu Tianyi couldn’t help but nervously ask Shuangshuang, "Sister Shuangshuang, can I travel with you? I’m very useful! I can help with gathering external information and dealing with diplomatic relations. I can make things much easier for you, and you can leave all the unpleasant tasks to me." Afraid Shuangshuang might refuse, Lu Tianyi couldn’t help but pitch himself a bit.

Shuangshuang didn’t notice Lu Tianyi’s nervousness at all. Being highly skilled and confident, even though Lu Tianyi’s cultivation is somewhat low, Shuangshuang wasn’t worried about being unable to protect him.

Shuangshuang now had no ill feelings towards Lu Tianyi, and since she planned to take Fei Hu and Tan Feiyu on her travels this time, adding Lu Tianyi made no difference. She nodded directly and said, "Sure, I’m leaving in a few days. You can use this time to handle your private matters."
