(TL/N: Babata gender is written as male in the original novel, while female in Donghua (Chinese 3d anime). The author of this book depicted babata as male so I'll keep it as is. Though how you want to describe babata, is up to you :D)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After collecting the nine Willow Hearts, Luo Fan did not immediately claim the reward.
After all, beneath Misty Island lay the spaceship from Meteorite Star.
He didn't want Babata to see it.
So, he directly stepped onto his shield and flew away.
Just as he had expected, at that moment, beneath Misty Island, inside the Meteorite Star spaceship—
Babata was staring at the detection information on the screen, looking a bit hesitant.
Luo Fan's brain domain width had reached 25.
This value was slightly higher than Luo Feng's.
Mainly because Luo Fan's comprehension had surpassed a thousand.
However, even so, Babata was still somewhat dissatisfied.
After all, his target was a spiritual force user with a brain domain width above 30.
So, he did not immediately bring Luo Fan down to take him as a disciple.
After all, at this point, he had not yet, as in the original story, attracted all of Earth's strong warriors and scanned them one by one.
Aside from Ruin No. 9 and the Meteorite Star spaceship, there was no other equipment capable of detecting brain domain width.
And the Meteorite Star spaceship's detector had a range of only twenty kilometers.
Therefore, Babata needed to lure all of Earth's strong warriors to him.
Because this detector could not scan the brain domain width of all humans on Earth at once.
At that moment, Babata, only one meter forty-five tall, looking like a child, with two small horns growing from his forehead, blood-red eyes, and wearing a black robe, was watching the screen showing Luo Fan leaving Misty Island.
"Luo Fan, huh?"
"Then let's see if there are any spiritual force users with even higher brain domain width."
"First, I must draw all of Earth's strong warriors over."
"Just a few Wood Bud Crystals will do, right?"
"Heh heh, to these ignorant natives, Wood Bud Crystals are already priceless treasures."
As Babata spoke, a sly smile appeared on his face.
However, since Babata already looked like a little demon, it only made him look "adorably fierce" rather than truly sinister.
…
After leaving Misty Island, Luo Fan flew straight toward one of the Extreme Martial Hall's outposts on the Australian continent.
Although the Australian continent was full of monsters and didn't have a single base city,
it was precisely because of the abundance of monsters
that many War God-level warriors would come here to hunt them.
The Extreme Martial Hall and several other forces had each built an outpost here.
Luo Fan then took a plane directly back to Jiangnan Base City.
Although the ticket price was quite high, for Luo Fan, who had sold off lord-level materials and gained over a hundred billion Huaxia coins—it was nothing.
After returning to Jiangnan Base City, he couldn't be bothered to take a train and flew straight back to Mingyue Community.
Because it was daytime, many people saw Luo Fan descending on his shield.
But Luo Fan no longer cared about such things.
There were not many people left on Earth who could kill him.
Even if he couldn't beat a Planetary-Level warrior, he could still escape.
He arrived at his doorstep and swept his spiritual force across, discovering that Fang Xueyi wasn't home.
He had originally wanted to surprise her, but ended up missing her.
So, he went next door first.
Because back when Luo Fan and Luo Feng chose their villas, they both picked houses in Mingyue Community.
Thus, this villa belonged to Luo Feng.
Luo Fan's own villa was empty.
He went to Luo Feng's door and swept it with his spiritual force.
As a result, he found that this house was also empty.
Luo Fan couldn't hold it in anymore.
He hadn't expected that none of his family would be at home.
He dialed Luo Hua's number.
Very quickly, the call connected.
"Ah Hua, where are you? Why aren't you home?"
"B…Big Brother? You're back?"
"I'm out. I'll be back in a bit."
Hearing Luo Fan's voice, Luo Hua spoke in a somewhat panicked tone.
Just then, Luo Fan heard a very soft voice coming from Luo Hua's side.
"Ah Hua, who is it?"
Luo Fan could tell that this was a female voice.
And it sounded quite young.
"Shh, it's my big brother."
The voice sounded a bit muffled, but because Luo Fan was so familiar with Luo Hua, he could still tell it was him speaking.
"Big Brother, wait at home for a bit, I'll be right back."
Hearing this, Luo Fan's face revealed a meaningful smile.
"Xiao Hua, bring the girl beside you home with you."
Hearing Luo Fan's words, Luo Hua couldn't help feeling a little flustered.
However, he still forced himself to speak calmly.
"What are you talking about, Big Brother? What do you mean?"
"There's no one beside me."
"Ah Hua, do you really not know how good the hearing of a peak War God-level warrior is?"
"I heard everything you two just said. Bring her back with you."
Hearing this, Luo Hua had no choice but to agree.
Luo Fan went straight into the house and sat in the living room waiting for a while.
Very soon, Luo Hua returned.
Today he wasn't sitting in his wheelchair but was wearing the custom prosthetic legs that Luo Fan had specially arranged for someone to make for him.
Because many warriors had retired due to losing an arm or a leg,
many forces were now researching prosthetics.
Although they still couldn't be exactly like a real limb,
compared to Earth's technology before Luo Fan crossed over, the prosthetic technology in Swallowed Star's world could be said to be extremely advanced.
Since Luo Hua was going out to meet someone today, he had chosen to wear the prosthetics.
With one glance, Luo Fan immediately saw the girl beside Luo Hua.
That girl looked very delicate and pretty, with long hair; she looked quite nice.
However, Luo Fan thought she wasn't as beautiful as Fang Xueyi.
This was normal, since Fang Xueyi was, after all, a warrior.
Years of training had given her a well-proportioned figure.
At the same time, she had also practiced the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Technique, and her body had been nourished by primordial gene energy.
Although it wasn't comparable to cultivation in the Immortal path that could rival cosmetic surgery,
Fang Xueyi's skin was also extremely good.
Thus, Fang Xueyi could easily be considered a true beauty.
After Luo Hua brought the girl inside, he introduced her to Luo Fan.
"Big Brother, this is my friend, Zhen Nan."
Zhen Nan blushed and nodded to Luo Fan a little shyly.
"Zhen Nan, this is my big brother, Luo Fan."
Hearing this, Luo Fan smiled ambiguously and teased,
"Just a friend?"
At these words, Zhen Nan's face turned even redder.
Hearing this, Luo Hua's face also flushed.
"Cough, cough, Big Brother, Zhen Nan is my girlfriend."
Hearing this, Luo Fan finally nodded.
"Zhen Nan, have a seat. Make yourself at home."
As he spoke, Luo Fan poured some pale purple water for Zhen Nan.
It had been diluted with Purple Light Dew.
Normally, Luo Hua and their parents drank this.
Ordinary people could also consume it.
Seeing what Luo Fan held in his hand, a glint of joy flashed in Luo Hua's eyes.
Although there were many such things in the house,
Luo Fan had said it must be kept secret.
So, even Zhen Nan had never been told anything about it.
Now that Luo Fan had brought it out to serve Zhen Nan, it showed that he acknowledged her.
This also meant that Luo Fan agreed to their relationship.
In this family, if Luo Fan agreed, their parents would not oppose it either.
Thus, Luo Hua was very happy.
