331. Chapter 331: Conversing with Luo Shen

"You finally remember me at a time like this. I wonder what kind of business you have that requires my help again."

Luo Shen said with a huff, "I haven't seen a shadow of you for several days, and the moment you return, you bring me a huge headache."

One must know that when she saw Aoweisi at that time, she was truly startled.

This was not a complaint that Su Chen was causing her trouble, but simply that she felt Su Chen did not care about her, so she felt a little jealous in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen reacted immediately; Luo Shen was unhappy, so he hurriedly said with a laugh.

"I came to find you as soon as I finished with the Dragon Race matters. Don't be angry, Sister, I apologize to you."

As the saying goes, one does not strike a person with a smiling face, and since Luo Shen liked Su Chen, seeing him act so ingratiatingly caused her anger to dissipate by a few degrees instantly.

"You and your glib tongue."

Luo Shen gave Su Chen a reproachful look, then immediately asked, "Tell me, what else do you need me for?"

"You are as intelligent as ever."

Su Chen gave a cheeky grin and took out the Token to hand to Luo Shen, "To tell you the truth, we used this tablet at the time to release the Spiritual Power of the entire West, which allowed the Western Wasteland to recover its vitality."

When Luo Shen brought up serious business, her expression became a bit more earnest; she took the tablet and looked it over, but did not find anything unusual.

"Can you make anything of it?" Su Chen asked.

"No, this and the Jade Letter from last time both give me a very strange feeling, yet I cannot find where the problem actually lies."

Luo Shen could not help but shake her head and sigh.

She always felt that she was only one step away from the truth, but every time she wanted to touch it, a fog would appear before her, causing her to lose her way.

"I do have a clue. Both of these items were sent down by the envoys dispatched by the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor. I keep feeling that the other two envoys might have them as well, but I don't know what their purpose is."

Su Chen frowned; although they were gifts from the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor, they did not seem like useful clues.

After all, it was reasonable for him to give his subordinates a few weapons for self-defense just in case.

"Looking at each one individually, they are unremarkable, yet they are by no means ordinary items. They have different forms and no similarities; they seem useless, yet every envoy has a corresponding one."

Luo Shen could not help but mutter to herself, analyzing the matter thoroughly in just a few sentences.

Su Chen could not help but look at Luo Shen with admiration. Normally, one could not rule out the possibility that they were weapons for subordinates, but through Yi Zhuyue and Lanbo, one could see that these items were actually dispensable.

"Perhaps they are indeed useless when looked at separately, but what if we gather all four of their items together? Might there be a new discovery, or perhaps the items of the four of them are meant for corresponding scenarios, only we haven't discovered it yet."

Luo Shen tentatively voiced her speculation.

"What you say is possible."

Su Chen nodded, "It seems we must keep an eye on the items in the hands of the remaining Heavenly Dao Envoys."

"Speaking of which, I have heard that the Divine Beasts of the Western Wasteland have been unusually united lately, and that is thanks to you."

Luo Shen smiled, then continued.

"Perhaps it is because we have a common enemy. After all, the power of unity is always great; one person cannot accomplish everything." Su Chen could not help but say. He had read many books and naturally understood the principle that a single chopstick is easily broken, but a bundle is not.

Being able to unite them now is a good thing; after all, a pile of loose sand will not achieve much in the end.

"The Western Wasteland is actually a very large territory within the Tianxuan Continent, but it has always been leaderless. Although the Dragon Race has always felt that their bloodline is the most noble and they should rule the entire Western Wasteland, other races do not submit, and over time, they have each gone their own way."

Luo Shen nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Su Chen's words, and immediately offered her own view.

"Then do you have any ideas?"

Su Chen could not help but ask.

"Perhaps through this incident, we can make the Spirit Beasts of the Western Wasteland take orders from you. After all, you have already spread the word that you are the reincarnation of the Great Dragon Emperor; the other two Heavenly Dao Envoys may well know this. Our top priority now is to focus on cultivating our own forces."

Luo Shen smiled slightly and slowly voiced her thoughts.

After all, winning this time was thanks to Su Chen, and since Su Chen saved the entire Western Wasteland, in the eyes of those Spirit Beasts, Su Chen was now a savior-like existence.

If they could use this to unify the Western Wasteland, it would be a great help to them.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen could not help but ponder for a moment.

"Although they can take human form, Spirit Beasts are wild by nature and hard to control. Making them take orders from a human like me might not succeed."

"It wouldn't hurt to try. You have saved the entire Western Wasteland; as long as you don't do anything too excessive, they won't do anything."

Luo Shen said slowly, "Looking at it from another angle, the reason the Western Wasteland could be ruled so thoroughly by Lanbo is because they were not united. Furthermore, different Spirit Beasts excel in different areas; if they cooperate, they will develop better."

That certainly made sense. To give a simple example, those on land and those in the sky excel in different domains; they each have their own shortcomings, and if they could unite and cooperate, they would have an army uniquely their own.

Spirit Beasts are inherently fiercer than humans; if they had this assistance, everything would be much easier in the future.

Thinking of this, Su Chen smiled and then said, "As expected of Luo Shen, exceptionally intelligent to think of this. Then I will leave this matter to you and Xiaoxian."

Luo Shen nodded slightly, very pleased with Su Chen's praise.

"By the way, what are your plans next?"

Luo Shen asked.

"The matters in the Western Wasteland are mostly handled. If I can make those Spirit Beasts work for me, it will definitely be a great help. Next, I want to go to the Central Province." Su Chen said nonchalantly, unable to stop himself from yawning.

He had not rested from yesterday until now, and he was feeling a bit weary.

Luo Shen also noticed his fatigue; there had indeed been too many things happening these past few days.

"Do you want to go get some rest? We can talk about these things another day," Luo Shen said with concern.

"Since we've already started, it's better to just say it all now so we can be prepared. Once it's finished, I'll go get some proper rest."

Su Chen could not help but stretch and reveal a hearty smile.

"Alright," Luo Shen replied with a smile, "Are we going to the Central Province to first destroy the remnants of the Lin Family?" (End of chapter)
