Chapter 458: Chapter 458 – Touched and Setup

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A gentle breeze blew past. In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed.
After half a month, Chen Heng returned to his home once again. His original home seemed to be the same as before. There was not much change compared to the past at first glance.
Pedestrians walked through the old streets one after another. The buildings were still the same, giving people a sense of familiarity.
Chen Heng slowly walked through the street and returned to his home. After walking here, he did not greet the people around him as usual but directly returned to his home.
This was also something that could not be helped. His skills and performances in the Qika League tournament had made him quite famous in Dragon City Academy and this small city.
The Qika League was the most authoritative competition in the Qika Federation. This saying wasn’t just for show but for real.
In the Qika League, even if it was only a few victories and didn’t reach the end, one could still gain many fans. Not to mention a contestant like Chen Heng, who had an outstanding performance in the Qika League tournament.
He had a certain degree of fame in the entire Qika Federation based on his current situation. Perhaps he couldn’t be compared to some of the more top-notch characters, but he was still not bad.
This was his hometown. Therefore, to avoid any trouble and waste time, Chen Heng didn’t intend to greet the people around him. He directly walked into his own home.
When he entered the house, there were already people waiting inside. A white puppy stood quietly at the door as if it had already detected Chen Heng’s arrival. At this moment, its eyes were looking at Chen Heng in front of it, revealing a human-like curiosity.
This was Ye Zi, the dog Lu Yao had brought home earlier. Of course, her true identity was not simple. She was one of the followers of the Golden King back then, and her strength was not weak at all.
A sound rang in Chen Heng’s ears when he was in thoughts.
“Brother, you’re back?”
A surprised voice rang out from the room just like that. Not long after, Lu Yao’s figure appeared in front of Chen Heng. She stood there and looked at him with a face full of surprise. She was still wearing an apron. From the looks of it, she seemed to have been cooking just now.
Chen Heng turned around to take a look. There was steam coming from the kitchen in the distance. From the looks of it, there were still people busy inside. Looking at this scene, he could not help but nod his head and then walk in.
Lu Yao went forward and was about to take away the luggage for Chen Heng. However, she saw a tall and slender woman with delicate features walking in behind Chen Heng. She was also carrying a suitcase in her hand.
“Alright, that’s all for now.”
Chen Heng turned around and looked at Liu Rou beside him. He said softly, “It’s time for you to leave.”
“Alright.”
Liu Rou shrugged and did not have any objections. “Since that’s the case, I’ll go back first.
“Take care of yourself. If you need anything, just let me know.”
“I understand.” Chen Heng nodded and said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Rou looked at Lu Yao, who was in front of Chen Heng. She gave her a friendly smile before turning around and leaving. Lu Yao stood where she was and looked at Liu Rou’s departing figure with some curiosity. She seemed to be very curious about her identity.
However, Chen Heng did not take the initiative to introduce her, so she did not take the initiative to ask.
“Alright, let’s go and eat.”
Chen looked at Lu Yao, who was standing in front of him, smiled, and then said softly, “If there’s anything, we’ll talk after we finish eating.”
“Okay.”
Lu Yao nodded. Then, Chen Heng walked into his room. The surrounding scenery was still the same as before in the familiar room. Even though it had been a long time since anyone had lived there, everything still looked very clean, and there was no difference.
From the looks of it, someone had probably come over to clean up from time to time.
“Brother, the food is ready.”
Lu Yao’s voice came from outside. She knocked on the door politely and walked in just like that. After looking at Chen Heng, she said, “Father and mother are waiting for us. Brother, is there anything else?”
“No, I’ll be down in a while.”
A gentle voice sounded from the same spot. Chen Heng turned to look at Lu Yao, then seemed to have thought of something. “Oh right.”
“This is for you.
He looked at Lu Yao in front of him and seemed to hesitate for a moment. Then, he opened his mouth and took out an item, placing it in front of Lu Yao. “It should be useful to you.”
He said softly. Lu Yao lowered her head to take a look doubtfully. At this moment, she could not help but feel pleasantly surprised. Ever since she was young, this seemed to be the first time she had received a gift from her brother.
She could not help but lower her head to take a serious look. What was placed in front of her was a wooden box. The wooden box was black and had some unique patterns embroidered on it. It looked very ancient and looked very old. With just one look, it was very valuable.
After she really got the hang of it, there was an inexplicable warm feeling coming from the wooden box. It was very refreshing and unique. She could not help but touch it, and a sense of anticipation rose in her heart.
After a moment, they went downstairs together and had lunch. The lunch was very plain. There were no fierce battles, no tricks, and only family gossip and gentle greetings.
Chen Heng was not as impatient as his predecessor when it came to such greetings. Some things could only be beautiful after they had been lost.
Perhaps for his predecessor, these things were just boring playthings and distracting thoughts that hindered him from advancing further. But for Chen Heng himself, these were things that he had lost and could never get again.
After a meal, Chen Heng left this place once again. He boarded the car that came to pick him up outside and prepared to return to Dragon City Academy.
It was not that he wanted to rush, but time was limited. Above his head, the threat of the Five Knights was always there.
If he continued to waste time here, he was afraid that the outcome would not be much better than the original trajectory after more than half a year when the Five Knights truly descended. Therefore, he really did not have much time to waste.
“After I return to the Dragon City Academy this time and deal with those miscellaneous matters, I will begin to explore the ruins.”
This thought flashed through his mind, and then he boarded the car that came to pick him up.
Behind him, at the door of his house, Lu Yao stood there with Ye Zi, sending Chen Heng off.
Seeing Chen Heng leave in the end, she sighed softly, feeling a little disappointed.
“Brother still left. He actually stayed for such a short period of time…” She was a little disappointed.
“Perhaps, something happened to your brother.”
Ye Zi’s voice sounded in her mind, comforting her softly at this moment.
“Maybe…”
Standing where she was, Lu Yao nodded, then said softly, “I don’t know if it’s just an illusion…
“I keep feeling that my brother is also under a lot of pressure… he seems to be anxious about something…”
In front of her, Chen Heng’s figure had completely disappeared. At this moment, he was already driving into the distance with the flow of people. Lu Yao continued to stand in her original spot before returning home and walking into her own room.
In the room, the surroundings were the same as before, except that there was one more thing inside. It was a wooden box. It was none other than the box Chen Heng had given her previously. This was a gift from Chen Heng to her. As time was tight just now, Lu Yao had yet to open it.
It was only now that she remembered. She slowly walked forward and opened the wooden box, revealing what was inside. It was different from what she had imagined. Inside the wooden box, there were no fancy small gifts or any ordinary snacks or cosmetics.
She saw a golden crystal lying quietly in the wooden box. At this moment, as the wooden box was opened, a golden glow was flickering and slowly spreading out, appearing extremely bright.
“This is…”
Looking at the thing in front of her, Lu Yao was instantly stunned. She did not know what was in front of her, but an instinctive desire was rising within her body. Vaguely, there seemed to be an impulse, wanting to grab this golden gemstone directly into her hand.
Especially the Golden Mark in her body, at this moment, it was even more instinctively throbbing, a rare instinctive awakening.
“This is… an Evolution Stone?”
Beside her, Ye Zi’s surprised voice sounded. At this moment, she was also very surprised.
“Evolution Stone, what is this thing?”
Hearing Ye Zi’s voice, Lu Yao was instantly stunned. “This is the thing that you told me about earlier…”
Previously, Ye Zi had already taught her all aspects. Besides the cultivation of telekinesis and martial arts in those teachings, there was also a large amount of common sense. Due to this, she knew what an evolution stone was and how precious it was.
“No, it’s not just an ordinary evolution stone.”
Beside her, Ye Zi’s voice was solemn. At this moment, it seemed particularly different. “If it’s just an ordinary evolution stone, then even though it’s precious, it won’t make you feel this way.
“But this evolution stone is different. There are many more things in it than ordinary evolution stones…
“This is definitely much more precious than ordinary evolution stones. Even I can’t help but feel a sense of desire…”
Her voice was solemn. At this moment, she looked at the evolution stone in front of her with a different gaze.
Ye Zi’s identity was that of a follower of the Golden King. With her previous identity and strength, a simple evolution stone would not move her at all. It was just an ordinary stone.
However, the evolution stone in front of her was different. Ye Zi could feel that there was a mysterious power hidden within this evolution stone. It was as if it was the origin, and she could not help but feel a desire in her heart.
At this moment, she had a feeling that if she could obtain this evolution stone, her injuries would recover a lot, and she could even get rid of this form for a long time.
“It’s even more precious than the evolution stone?”
Standing on the spot and listening to Ye Zi’s words, Lu Yao could not help but be stunned. At this moment, she was a little restless.
“Such a precious thing, where did my brother get it from… And why did he give it to me?”
She felt a little restless as all sorts of thoughts flashed through her mind.
“I’m not sure. Even in the starry skies, I’ve never seen many such unique treasures before…”
In her mind, Ye Zi’s voice continued to ring out. At this moment, it reverberated in her mind. “But what I can be sure of is that for a treasure of this level, your brother must have spent a lot of effort to obtain it…
“Perhaps, he risked his life to…”
She said softly and sighed. A treasure as precious as this evolution stone before her eyes was extremely precious even with her experience. It could definitely be considered the most top-notch item.
And such a precious item, with Chen Heng’s strength, under normal circumstances, he would have to pay a huge price to obtain it. He might even have to risk his life to obtain it.
Thinking of this, she thought of how Chen Heng had looked when he had given the item to Lu Yao. Just now, Chen Heng’s expression had been very calm from the beginning to the end, as if this was not some priceless treasure but just an ordinary item.
Now that she thought about it, this kind of expression was probably because he did not want to worry Lu Yao. As she thought about it, the image of a cold-faced but a warm-hearted brother who was willing to pay any price for his little sister appeared in her mind.
“As for why he gave this thing to you, My King…”
While Ye Zi sighed in admiration, she also thought about it for a moment before continuing, “It should be able to help you awaken.”
“Awaken?”
Lu Yao paused, feeling a little puzzled.
“That’s right.”
Ye Zi nodded, then continued, “One of the functions of an evolution stone is to allow ordinary people who don’t have the talent of telekinesis to awaken the talent of telekinesis.
“However, ordinary evolution stones have a probability, and not everyone can do it.
“But this evolution stone in front of us is different.
“With the uniqueness of this evolution stone in front of us, I’m sure that if ordinary people use this evolution stone, they will definitely awaken the talent of telekinesis and become a Beastmaster from then on.”
Speaking up to this point, Ye Zi sighed again. “Your brother probably got this thing for you because he wanted you to become a Beastmaster.”
“I see…”
Standing where she was, listening to Ye Zi’s words, Lu Yao turned around to look at the evolution stone before her. Her feelings couldn’t help but become a little complicated.
This indeed made sense. In recent times, due to the gradual awakening of the Golden Mark, she had actually already possessed the talent of telekinesis and could become a Beastmaster.
But without a doubt, in the eyes of others, she was still an ordinary person, without the slightest talent of a Martial Artist or a Beastmaster. Such a person was destined to struggle in the human world in this world.
Perhaps that was why Chen Heng had specially got this item for her. After all, he did not know about Lu Yao’s situation, nor did he know that Lu Yao could already embark on the path of cultivation.
The reason why Chen Heng had repeatedly fallen into a difficult situation in the league tournament, first almost getting beaten to death and then inexplicably losing the competition, could also be because of this evolution stone.
Lu Yao’s emotions were complicated, and she really didn’t know what to say. At this time, she only felt that she owed her brother too much.
“Take it, My King.”
At the side, Ye Zi’s voice rang out in her mind. At this moment, it came out just like that, and she softly comforted her, “This is the thought of your brother. It’s better for you to take it.
“Furthermore, with this fast-evolution stone, you can tell others about your situation in the future. You don’t have to hide anything like an ordinary person anymore.”
Even though, in reality, she was already on the path of a Beastmaster. However, on the surface, Lu Yao was still just an ordinary person at this moment. She didn’t tell anyone about her situation. Although she could hide it, it would be a little too troublesome.
Moreover, as Chen Heng’s strength continued to grow, Lu Yao didn’t believe she could keep it a secret forever. If she could use this opportunity to tell others that she had become a Beastmaster openly, the situation would be much better.
Some troubles would disappear because of this. Thinking of this, Lu Yao sighed in her heart and finally nodded silently.
Far away. At a certain moment, Chen Heng turned around and looked in the direction he had come from.
“Has she started to use it?”
Sitting upright in the car, feeling that unique feeling, Chen Heng was deep in thought as this thought flashed through his mind. The gift he had given Lu Yao earlier was indeed an evolution stone.
However, even though it was an evolution stone, Chen Heng imbued and modified this one. Not only was there an evolution stone, but there was also a portion of the slaughter divinity power that Chen Heng had purified. There was even a portion of Chen Heng’s divine power within.
Chen Heng had fused these things into that evolution stone. He had used the power of the evolution stone as a disguise to fuse these things into Lu Yao’s body.
The portion of divine power could be a divine power seed. Not only could Chen Heng use it to sense Lu Yao’s location when he wanted it, but he could also use it at a critical moment. Using the power of this divine power seed, he could temporarily condense a divine power avatar.
The reason for this was partly for Lu Yao’s safety and partly for the sake of better control of the situation. After all, Lu Yao was definitely the chosen one at the current stage. And by being on the side of the chosen one, there would be troubles and opportunities.
At the same time, Chen Heng also needed to control Lu Yao’s movements in time to know the extent of the situation and how far it was from what he knew. These are the reasons he chose to fuse the seed of divine power into the evolution stone and use it to enter Lu Yao’s body.
And at this moment, everything seemed to be very smooth. The essence of divine power was undoubtedly very high. It was born in the divinity of a god. In terms of essence, not to mention the current Lu Yao and Ye Zi, even a Golden King at his peak might not be able to compare to it.
The setup made with divine power did not have any problems in concealment and was very difficult to detect.
