    Under? ?Wen? ?XiaoYun’s? ?complicated? ?look,? ?Zhuang? ?Zhou? ?stubbornly? ?

    displayed? ?a? ?“I’m? ?very? ?normal.? ?If? ?you? ?think? ?it’s? ?strange,? ?then? ?

    you’re? ?the? ?abnormal? ?one”? ?stance? ?and? ?silently? ?placed? ?the? ?incense? ?

    into? ?the? ?incense? ?burner.? ?

    ?

    The? ?offering? ?was? ?complete.? ?

    ?

    Zhuang? ?Zhou? ?faintly? ?felt? ?the? ?connection? ?between? ?himself? ?and? ?the? ?

    ‘beverage’.? ?

    ?

    Finally,? ?he? ?let? ?out? ?a? ?breath? ?of? ?relief? ?and? ?gave? ?Wen? ?XiaoYun? ?a? ?

    smile.? ?However,? ?because? ?he? ?was? ?a? ?bit? ?embarrassed,? ?his? ?voice? ?was? ?

    all? ?dry:? ?“So…? ?you,? ?you? ?came? ?over……”? ?

    ?

    Wen? ?XiaoYun? ?took? ?a? ?glance? ?at? ?Zhuang? ?Zhou.? ?Then? ?his? ?gaze? ?

    landed? ?on? ?the? ?Divine? ?Image? ?on? ?the? ?ground? ?again.? ?

    ?

    In? ?Wen? ?XiaoYun’s? ?eyes,? ?intergalactic? ?people? ?didn’t? ?have? ?any? ?faith;? ?

    they? ?only? ?revered? ?strength.? ?

    ?

    The? ?strongest? ?person? ?was? ?the? ?one? ?people? ?idolized? ?and? ?worshiped? ?

    the? ?most? ?in? ?their? ?hearts.? ?

    ?

    Therefore,? ?when? ?he? ?saw? ?the? ?Divine? ?Image,? ?he? ?only? ?thought? ?it? ?was? ?

    a? ?statue.? ?

    ?

    In? ?the? ?Capital? ?Planet,? ?inside? ?the? ?biggest? ?plaza,? ?was? ?a? ?statue? ?of? ?his? ?

    carved? ?extremely? ?life-like? ?and? ?realistic,? ?looking? ?about? ?70-80%? ?like? ?

    the? ?youth? ?himself.? ?

    ?

    Therefore,? ?Wen? ?XiaoYun? ?reached? ?an? ?understanding.? ?

    ?

    He? ?asked:? ?“This? ?is? ?your? ?father?”? ?

    ?

    Zhuang? ?Zhou? ?was? ?actually? ?very? ?nervous.? ?

    When? ?he? ?saw? ?Wen? ?XiaoYun? ?staring? ?at? ?the? ?statue? ?without? ?

    speaking,? ?Zhuang? ?Zhou’s? ?little? ?heart? ?trembled? ?and? ?shook.? ?

    ?

    Did? ?he? ?figure? ?out? ?that? ?the? ?statue? ?is? ?me?? ?

    Looks? ?like? ?he? ?needed? ?to? ?give? ?him? ?another? ?dream? ?tonight? ?and? ?

    ?

    Hearing? ?Wen? ?XiaoYun’s? ?voice? ?at? ?this? ?moment? ?made? ?Zhuang? ?Zhou? ?

    feel? ?exceptionally? ?guilty.? ?He? ?actually? ?had? ?a? ?feeling? ?like? ?‘how? ?lucky? ?

    that? ?he? ?couldn’t? ?understand? ?the? ?other’s? ?old? ?dialect.’? ?Because? ?of? ?

    this,? ?he? ?didn’t? ?need? ?to? ?answer? ?at? ?all.? ?

    ?

    Not? ?receiving? ?an? ?answer? ?from? ?Zhuang? ?Zhou,? ?Wen? ?XiaoYun? ?

    furrowed? ?his? ?brows.? ?

    ?

    The? ?youth’s? ?lack? ?of? ?comprehension? ?in? ?the? ?common? ?galactic? ?

    language? ?was? ?a? ?huge? ?issue.? ?

    ?

    Wen? ?XiaoYun? ?took? ?out? ?the? ?A? ?comprehensive? ?intergalactic? ?

    ?

    However,? ?Zhuang? ?Zhou? ?started? ?to? ?feel? ?somewhat? ?inconceivable.? ?

    ?

    Wen? ?XiaoYun? ?praised? ?calmly:? ?“Pretty? ?good.”? ?

    ?

    Thinking? ?briefly,? ?he? ?pointed? ?at? ?himself:? ?“Me,? ?Wen? ?XiaoYun.”? ?Then? ?
