Chapter 899 - 585: Punishment Stand (Part 2)

Lu Li himself had a plan in mind, knowing what to do next.

Gu Wei said, "I know what to do. When Nuazai arrives on Earth, I will take him to meet you as soon as possible."

Lu Li pondered for a moment, "There’s another matter."

Gu Wei listened attentively, "Please, go ahead."

Lu Li said, "It’s time for you to show your face in front of the billions of intelligent life forms in the Milky Way Galaxy. Otherwise, how will they know about you and decide to cast their votes for you in the upcoming ’Lord of Ten Thousand Stars’ election?"

Gu Wei replied, troubled, "The thing is, I have no connections or resources to promote myself in the Milky Way Galaxy."

Lu Li chuckled softly, "Isn’t it just a matter of money? I’ll get you something precious. You, then convert it to money and use all of it to promote yourself."

Gu Wei was overjoyed, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your support."

Lu Li said indifferently, "Just do your job well."

Gu Wei promised, "I will do my utmost to complete the tasks you entrusted to me."

Lu Li nodded, "If there’s nothing else, you may continue sleeping."

With that, he waved his hand, and the water mirror before him shattered and completely disappeared.

After ending the call, Lu Li didn’t immediately go to his room to sleep but pondered over his own matters.

Since the energy arrived at the power of the Cosmos, I can enter the eighth deep evolution at any time.

He was just stalling to spend more time with his family.

This stalling is temporary; he couldn’t remain here forever.

Therefore, Lu Li was thinking about how he should say goodbye to his family and Liu Kexin and others when the time for parting arrives.

"Alas, meeting will be hard, and parting will be too."

Lu Li couldn’t help but sigh deeply. Once he undergoes the eighth deep evolution, it’s very likely he won’t be able to return to this universe in person. Otherwise, it might cause the entire universe to collapse.

So he was very clear that after the eighth deep evolution, he would have to bid farewell to his family and friends.

Lu Li was reluctant to part with his family, Liu Kexin, and others.

Yet, no matter how reluctant, the separation would eventually come.

He couldn’t suppress not entering the eighth deep evolution indefinitely.

"Forget about it, for now, it’s better to cherish the time with the family."

Lu Li shook off the slight melancholy that arose from thinking about the separation, stood up, and slowly walked back to the bedroom.

His silhouette seemed very lonely.

...

Three or four days passed in a flash.

On this day, a flying object slightly larger than a passenger plane suddenly appeared above Huaxia Magic City, attracting many people’s attention.

After entering the atmosphere, the speed of the aircraft noticeably slowed down. It hovered for a moment above Magic City and then flew toward Gusu at subsonic speed.

Logically, an unidentified flying object would definitely raise the alarm and even be intercepted by the relevant departments.

However, this time, there was no reaction, obviously knowing the identity of the arriving guest.

Yes, the arrival was none other than the Cosmic Emperor, Nuazai.

He had already contacted the Earth side before coming, so naturally, there would be no interception.

Even if the spaceship slowed down, Magic City and Gusu were so close that it arrived within moments.

The spaceship landed in an open area outside Gusu City.

Beside it, there was already an Audi car waiting.

Gu Wei stood by the car, puffing on a cigarette, his eyes slightly narrowed, lost in thought.

The driver beside him hurriedly reminded, "Mr. Gu, the spaceship has landed."

Gu Wei exhaled the smoke from his mouth, "Hmm."

The driver asked, puzzled, "Shouldn’t we go up and greet them?"

Gu Wei chuckled lightly, "When you need a favor from someone, do they come to greet you?"

The driver contemplated, "I understand now."

Gu Wei had no intention of greeting them at all, just standing there quietly smoking.

The spaceship door opened, and Nuazai and Li Luo, in protective suits, descended surrounded by a large group of Martial Hero Race warriors.

Seeing Gu Wei standing by the car without any intention of greeting, Nuazai didn’t show the slightest anger.

On the contrary, his face immediately showed a smile, and he laughed heartily as he approached, "Haha, Mr. Gu, I’ve heard of you for a long time. It’s my honor to meet you today."

Seeing this, Gu Wei finally flicked away the cigarette butt and also smiled back, "Your Excellency Nuazai, meeting for the first time is a pleasure."

The two shook hands in greeting.

Afterward, Gu Wei pointed to the Audi, "You and Ms. Li Luo will take my car to Mr. Lu’s side, while others wait here."

Nuazai responded, "Okay."

Even though the spaceship had better transportation, he understood the protocol of being a guest, naturally saying nothing more.

A group of people got into the car.

Nuazai and Li Luo, being from the Martial Hero Race, have a slightly larger physique than normal humans and felt quite cramped inside.

Gu Wei didn’t care how cramped they were, just instructing the driver to head to Diamond Home.

...

After a drive of twenty to thirty minutes, the car entered Diamond Home, then slowly stopped in front of a small villa.

The driver first got out and opened the door for Gu Wei.

Having just opened the left rear car door,

The driver was about to go to the right side to open the door for Nuazai.

Unexpectedly, Nuazai and Li Luo, seated in the front passenger seat, got out on their own, moving constantly on that side.

It was obvious the cramped car space made them uncomfortable.

Gu Wei approached and said, "Your Excellency Nuazai, Ms. Li Luo, please wait here for a moment. I’ll go in and report to Mr. Lu. Once he grants permission, I’ll bring you inside."

Nuazai said, "Alright, thank you, Mr. Gu."

Gu Wei waved a hand, "It’s no trouble."

He reached out to press the doorbell.

A moment later, a middle-aged woman’s voice came from the other side, "Who is it?"

Gu Wei replied, "Hello, Aunt Huang, it’s Gu Wei here to see Mr. Lu."

"Alright."

Aunt Huang responded and unlocked the main door.

Gu Wei walked straight in and soon reached the door inside.

The door was open, obviously opened by Aunt Huang purposely.

He pushed open the door and, while replacing his shoes, thanked Aunt Huang.

After changing into slippers, he walked to the center of the living room and respectfully spoke to Lu Li, who sat on the sofa petting Puer, "Mr. Lu, Nuazai has arrived and is waiting outside."

Lu Li pointed to a single sofa on the side, "Sit."

He turned his head to Aunt Huang, "Make tea, and bring some snacks for Mr. Gu to eat."

Aunt Huang said, "Alright."

She trotted off to the kitchen.

Gu Wei was at a loss, but he obediently followed Lu Li’s commands without questioning.

He sat down on the single sofa and cautiously asked, "Aren’t you going to meet him?"

Lu Li stared at the turned-on television, "What’s the hurry? Let him wait outside a bit longer."

"Ah?"

Gu Wei was taken aback, seemingly surprised.

After all, the person waiting outside was the king of the universe’s strongest civilization, the Martial Hero Race, and dubbed by the world as the Cosmic Emperor. Not the easiest person to meet, yet here at Lu Li’s place, he could only stand and wait miserably outside. How could Gu Wei not be surprised?

However, upon reconsideration, what was a Cosmic Emperor compared to the only True God?

Since Lu Li said to let Nuazai wait outside, he should obediently wait. If not, he could leave directly.

Gu Wei immediately said, "Okay, I understand. May I ask how long you plan to keep him waiting?"

Lu Li casually responded, "We’ll see. When I feel like meeting him, I’ll have you bring him in."

Gu Wei said, "Understood."

Just then, Aunt Huang came over with tea and snacks.

Lu Li gestured, "Try it, and watch a bit of TV with me."

Gu Wei picked up a teacup, "Okay."

The two of them leisurely sipped tea and watched TV.

Meanwhile, outside, Nuazai and Li Luo stood at the door, enduring the wait.

Lucky for them, that scene wasn’t witnessed by those familiar with Nuazai. Otherwise, they would have been astonished.

A figure like the Cosmic Emperor standing outside as punishment?
