Chapter 1328 Goodbye & Retreat

Chapter 1328 Goodbye & Retreat

Wang Wei and Wu Hong stood opposite each other, with only a few inches separating them. "Why are you looking at me like a lost puppy who doesn't want to be separated from his owner?" she asked.

"I'm going to miss you. Is that so wrong?" Wang Wei asked.

"It's only a few yuan epochs."

"Can't you just say you'll miss me too?"

"I'm going to miss you too — happy?" she asked.

"Of course," Wang Wei smiled as he looked at that beautiful woman before him. The love in his eyes has deepened immensely. During this training, he made a ridiculous amount of improvement, but was it really due to his talent? He knew that was not it. Although it played a part, it was not the primary cause of his success.

The woman before him is why he's currently so strong and considered 'perfect' regarding Battle IQ. Wu Hong did not hesitate to feed her all her knowledge and experience, like a mother bird feeding a baby bird through their beaks. Only because of her selfless teaching did he become so intense, allowing him to fight on par with her.

Of course, Wang Wei was not cocky enough to think he had caught up with. In terms of experience, he was mild away from her. He knew that if they were in a battle of life and death, even in the same realm, he would not survive more than a day. She would mercilessly slaughter him, and everything he learned in this training would only prolong the inevitable.

"Alright, there is no need to keep lingering," Wu Hong said, preparing to leave.

"Before you leave, I want to ask something. What exactly are we?" Wang Wei wanted to know the answer. If you say they are friends, he would disagree, given how close they've become during this training. However, they were not lovers either. Although he's seen her body during their training when their clothes were destroyed, the most intimate gesture they've made was holding hands and a kiss on the cheek after he won a bet.

Wu Hong did not immediately answer this question but instead started arranging his hair. "There is no need to define our relationship. We have plenty of time to figure it out." Wang Wei glanced at her strangely. Back on Earth, he often used a VPN to browse through other countries' internet, social media, and so on, and he once read an article about something called a "situationship." Unfortunately, that word might be the best way to describe their relationship.

"Alright, I'm leaving," she said before kissing him on the cheeks. "You can access this place as you wish. If you're in trouble, just come here and activate the formations. Even if all seven of them work together, they can't break my array.

"So, take care of yourself and don't die."

After saying those words, she did not wait for his response and flew away. Wang Wei suddenly yelled: "If I did, I mean, true death, will you do everything possible to revive me?"

"That's right. They suffered tremendous humiliations at the hands of the seven moons, and without those two around, they'll have no fear or restrain to enact their vengeance."

"If you want to make such a move, it's not enough to use their hatred to get them to act," the clone added. "We must also share some of the benefits with them."

"That's fine." Wang Wei never planned to eat everything for himself. People hated the moon because they divided everything amongst themselves and left no crumbs for everybody else. If Wang Wei had taken all their resources, he would just be another version of the moons in a different font. So, his idea was always to get the biggest piece and leave enough for everybody else.

"That's fine then," the clone nodded.

"By the way, have you received any news from that little girl, Chen Zhilan?" Wang Wei asked. The clone had discovered Chen Zhilan's identity and connection to Xun Junyao's chef, so he fulfilled his promise to her that he would help find her master.

"She's still with her master," the clone responded. "The latter said he owed us a great karmic debt."

"It's a shame to lose that little girl. She's a great talent with potential," Wang Wei sighed. Wang Wei planned to marry that little girl to Hui Mengwei so she could help him develop his Cooking Dao. Well, maybe it's not too late.

"I'll accept his debt," Wang Wei said, and his eyes changed as he saw a web of karmic thread. As expected, his connection to Xun Junyao deepened slightly after returning Chen Zhilan to her master. He waved his hand, and a few more cracks manifested on their love fate line.

"Alright, I'm leaving," Wang Wei said as he stood up. "Start laying down the chess pieces for the plan." The clone nodded. Although there was plenty of time before they officially enacted things, it's best to start laying out things now.

Before leaving, Wang Wei created a second clone and handed him his Grandmist Wheel before tasking him to oversee the tribulations of his Creation Lives. He was no longer limited by the stringent rules of the lower dimension and knew more about the topic, so it was time to get started. However, Wang Wei was about to focus on his cultivation, so he tasked his clone with this task.

Wang Wei finally left his room as he teleported to an empty white space with one cushion in the middle. This was the cultivation room his future wife prepared for him. As he sat on the cushion, Wang Wei felt a mysterious power rushing into his mind that calmed him down and made his spirit in harmony with Heaven and Earth.

"Good stuff," Wang Wei commented before focusing. With his retreat, he could not do as he pleases. His intuition warned him that time was of the essence, so he had to choose.

'I cannot cultivate my body and comprehend the Dao, so I must choose one or the other,' Wang Wei. 'In the current situation, comprehending the Dao is meaningless for him.' After the 80% mark, the time needed to cultivate is even greater than before — even for a genius like himself.

'My priority should be entering the Taboo Realm so that I have the strength to fight against these parasites. And if I want to increase the chances of that happening, my True Power Dao Realm should improve.'

Now that he had made a choice, Wang Wei no longer wasted any time.
