I, who was stabbed to death by Alloy Lu Bu, transmigrated into the Star Soul General

The study in the middle courtyard of the Lü residence.

The father and son sat on opposite sides of a chessboard, one holding black pieces and the other holding white pieces.

pat.

"Fengxian, how did you obtain the Star Soul General Lü Bu? I've heard that this Star Soul General is in Taiyuan's hands," Lü Zhongying asked as he placed a black piece.

pat.

“No…” Lü Fengxian placed a white piece, took a sip of tea, and said, “Grandpa, do we have to chat while playing chess?” (Do you old nobles only know how to chat when you’re not playing chess?)

pat.

"Fengxian'er, you don't understand, do you? The atmosphere is great for talking while playing chess." Lü Zhongying placed a black piece, blocking the possibility of a white piece connecting. "It's mainly because just chatting is too awkward... So, Fengxian'er, what have you encountered since you enrolled?"

"Actually... I'm not Lu Bu, I'm the 'Six-Eared Macaque'."

pat.

“That’s a long story,” Lü Fengxian said, placing a white piece that blocked the path of the black pieces as well. She took a sip of tea. “The day before I was to enroll, I had a dream. It was a long dream. I saw the past and the future… and then I was chosen by the Six-Eared Macaque to become a host, and my soul veins were replenished.”

"After enrolling, I wandered out and accidentally entered a super secret realm, where I received an unbelievable opportunity. My cultivation level skyrocketed, and I also received the inheritance of alchemy, formation, martial arts, and weapon crafting..."

After a pause, he asked, "So you believe it?"

"I believe you... you idiot!" Lü Zhongying slapped his thigh hard, his voice booming.

"Ugh…"

He then sighed, his voice gradually lowering, "Fengxian, if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. You need to know that your father isn't coveting your opportunities, but I just want to say... powerful opportunities often come with powerful prices, and I'd rather you couldn't cultivate..."

“Oh dear… old man, you’re overthinking it,” Lü Fengxian picked up a white chess piece and placed it outside the chessboard. “This opportunity is great, but the price isn’t much. It’s just that I have to help the human race resist the ferocious beasts and help others fulfill their dreams.” (Damn, I risked my life in my first life, so this price is indeed high.)

Since things had come to this point, there was no need for the game to continue. The two silently put their pieces back into the chess jar. It was mainly because they were both terrible at chess; they filled the board but still couldn't determine a winner.

Step, step.

At this moment, a maid came in, took away the chessboard, and set out fruits.

Taking a bite of the Xuan Shui Peach, Lü Fengxian asked, "By the way, Grandpa, how much do you know about the Huang family of Xi Shui Kingdom? Tell me everything you know. I promised someone something, and if I do it well, I can at least win over two Saint-level experts."

"Why are you asking this?"

"Xu Bansheng... no, he should be called Xu Jiansheng now. You should know about what happened between him and the Huang family girl back then, right?"

"I know, it's Xu Heming, the Sword of Ten Thousand Miles. He swore he wouldn't set foot in Xishui Kingdom until he became a Saint."

"Hiss..." Lü Zhongying seemed to sense something was wrong, and her eyes gradually became serious. "You said Xu Heming has become a saint? When did this happen?"

"Just recently, he broke through the mortal realm barrier thanks to the 'Breakthrough Pill' I gave him."

Gulu.

"Breakthrough Pill?" Lü Zhongying swallowed hard, his hands instinctively rubbing together. "Feng Xian'er, I've never asked for anything in my life... but today I..."

Before the word "beg" could be uttered, Lü Fengxian interrupted, saying, "Grandpa, you don't need to beg me about this. If I had it, I would definitely give it to you. The main problem is that I don't have it right now. The only ingredient I need to refine the Breakthrough Pill is 'Divine Remnant'... Where do you think I'm supposed to find that?"

“This is easy to handle. I will send people to track the two divine-level beasts right now. We will definitely be able to find a few pieces of ‘divine-level remains’.”

"Don't rush this. Tell me about the Huang family first. We must make sure Xu Jiansheng's marriage proposal is successful, otherwise that Breakthrough Pill will be wasted."

"The Huang family now has two Saints, several Heavenly Realm cultivators, and we won't even mention the Earthly Realm cultivators."

"No, Grandpa... what about the house layout? What about the troop deployment? We need to be prepared to take the Sword Saint's wife back!"

"Aren't those two Saint-level warriors the only ones who can be considered as troops? When it comes to basic combat strength, we're not afraid."

“That’s true,” Lü Fengxian nodded, playing with the wolf fang necklace around her neck. “Phew… I know who the first saint is, but who is the other saint?”

"Huang Sushang, the innate natal person of Mo Xie."

"Oh~ Lady Sword Saint, then our only 'enemy' is Huang Miaoyin."

“Fengxian’er, in my opinion, since this is a marriage proposal, as long as the betrothal gifts are appropriate, it shouldn’t turn into a bride kidnapping, right?” Lü Zhongying asked.

dong dong.

“Sigh…” Lü Fengxian sighed and tapped the table with the back of her index finger. “Old man, I think your brain has rusted from not being an official for years! We’re proposing marriage! We’re marrying that saint, not sending Xu Jiansheng to the Huang family as a son-in-law. Do you think that woman Huang Miaoyin will agree so easily?”

Upon hearing this, Lü Zhongying chuckled and said, "Not bad, not bad. Your wisdom is one-tenth of what I had back then. You truly are the child I raised."

Lü Fengxian didn't pay much attention to this, and continued, "Therefore, we need to prepare both the literary and martial aspects. I plan to have the entire Lü family advance to the Heavenly Rank soon, so that we can put on a show."

"Feng Xian'er, what... what do you plan to do? I think it's not very practical."

"Just pile on the pills! Why force growth and damage the foundation? What kind of 'foundation' can someone who can't even reach the Heavenly Rank have?"

“That makes sense. Just tell the warehouse how much money you need.”

"By the way, do we know any high-level mechanics in our family?" Lu Fengxian said, taking out a Soul General Talisman, placing it on the table and pushing it in front of the old man. "Old man, try to get a number of soldiers."

After a pause, he continued, "This Star Soul is the [Cloud Bat God] that I designed. It has the function of absorbing and transmitting soul power. If there is an entire Heavenly Rank Cloud Bat Legion, it can provide a person with soul power reserves and combat power comparable to a Saint Rank."

"Of course, this is only theoretical and has not been actually verified. To be on the safe side, we can first build five Cloud Bat Gods and send them to our Trapped Camp to test them out."

"Furthermore, there is a battle formation used in conjunction with the Cloud Bat Legion, called the 'Cloud Bat Formation.' The main offensive units are at the bottom layer, followed by four mechs on the second layer, eight mechs on the third layer, and so on, stacking upwards in sequence. The final effect is a trapezoidal polyhedron connected to an independent mech."

After speaking, Lü Fengxian felt a bit thirsty and immediately gulped down a cup of hot tea. "Phew, Grandpa, please digest this first and get it on the agenda as soon as possible. We don't have much time."

“Okay.” Lu Zhongying replied earnestly, without asking any unnecessary questions. This was probably the unconditional trust from her family, after all, it wasn’t the kind of 'protagonist family' filled with deceit and treachery in novels.

Meanwhile, on the other side…

PS: I couldn't find out what Huang Sushang's Star Soul General is, only that she has an innate human body, so I took the liberty of arranging a Star Soul General [Moye]. If anyone knows, please let me know, and I'll change it anytime.

After all, the name of this mecha won't affect the plot.
