Shenron’s overwhelming divine presence covered the entire wilderness.
The enormous dragon lowered its massive head from the heavens like a descending mountain while silently waiting for the summoner’s wish.
“A wish…” Bulma stared upward at the miraculous dragon while her heart pounded violently.
Before beginning this journey, her goal had always been perfectly clear.
Gather the seven Dragon Balls.
Summon Shenron.
Then wish for the perfect Prince Charming.
But now…
Bulma subconsciously turned her gaze toward Sun Wuxiu beside her.
The fierce wind whipped through the young man’s black hair, yet his calm temperament remained as steady as a mountain.
Even before the divine pressure emitted by Shenron, enough to make ordinary people kneel in terror, Sun Wuxiu still stood calmly with his hands behind his back.
There was no fear in his eyes.
Nor greed.
Along this journey…
From the moment he descended like a hero to save her from the cliffside accident…
To the countless times he casually crushed dangerous enemies and protected everyone…
Bulma’s cheeks gradually turned red.
“A perfect Prince Charming…” She bit her lip lightly.
“Isn’t he already standing right beside me?” At that moment, Bulma suddenly realized something important.
Did she even need Shenron anymore?
If she wished for a boyfriend and Shenron really created some random handsome man, wouldn’t that only create distance between her and Wuxiu?
Absolutely not.
“I’ve changed my mind!” Bulma suddenly shouted loudly, breaking the silence.
Goku and Oolong both froze.
“Huh?” Bulma took a deep breath.
Then a bright and relieved smile bloomed across her face.
She turned directly toward Sun Wuxiu, her blue eyes burning with determination.
“Wuxiu!” “I’m giving this wish to you!” “As for my own wish…” A sly smile appeared on her lips.
“I’ll work hard and achieve it myself.” After speaking, she even winked mischievously at him.
Her intentions were practically written directly across her face.
Sun Wuxiu was slightly startled at first.
But he immediately understood the girl’s feelings.
Looking into Bulma’s hopeful blue eyes, even he could not help feeling slightly touched.
In the original timeline, although Bulma was a genius, her romantic relationships had always been complicated and full of disappointments.
But in this life…
Since he was here…
He naturally would not allow her to suffer those regrets again.
“In that case…” Sun Wuxiu smiled softly before stepping forward toward Shenron.
What wish did he actually need?
Immortality?
The [Dog Talisman] had already granted him eternal life.
World domination?
He had absolutely no interest in something so meaningless.
Ultimate power?
True strength needed to be obtained through one’s own cultivation.
Power granted directly by Shenron would always remain hollow.
Besides…
There was no guarantee Shenron could truly provide the strongest power anyway.
Sun Wuxiu slowly glanced toward Bulma again.
This girl would become one of the most important people in his life within this world.
And for ordinary humans…
Youth faded far too quickly.
“Shenron!” Sun Wuxiu gathered his ki before shouting clearly toward the heavens.
“My wish is this!” “Please allow the girl named Bulma to forever retain her youth and beauty after her body reaches its perfect state at eighteen years old!” The instant his words fell…
The entire wilderness became silent.
Bulma’s eyes widened completely.
She instinctively covered her mouth.
She originally thought Sun Wuxiu might wish for wealth.
Or supreme power.
Or perhaps endless food like Goku probably would.
But she never imagined…
The wish would actually be for her.
And not just any wish.
It was the ultimate dream countless women desired most.
Eternal youth.
“Wu…
Wuxiu…” Bulma’s eyes immediately became moist.
Tears slowly gathered within them.
High above, Shenron remained silent briefly as though evaluating the wish itself.
Then the dragon’s crimson eyes glowed brightly.
“This wish is simple.” Shenron’s majestic voice echoed across the heavens once more.
“Your wish has been granted.” “Farewell.” BOOM!!
Shenron’s colossal body instantly transformed into golden light before shooting upward into the sky.
The light exploded brilliantly above the clouds.
Then the seven Dragon Balls separated once again and reverted into stone.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The Dragon Balls scattered rapidly toward different regions of the world.
“Oh no!
Grandpa’s Dragon Ball!” Goku cried out anxiously before preparing to leap upward.
However, the Dragon Balls traveled far too quickly.
“Don’t worry.” Sun Wuxiu had already anticipated this.
The power of the [Rooster Talisman] activated instantly.
At the exact moment the Four-Star Dragon Ball attempted flying away westward, an invisible telekinetic force froze it completely in midair.
Then the Dragon Ball flew directly back toward Sun Wuxiu’s hand.
It was Grandpa Gohan’s treasured Four-Star Ball.
“Here.” Sun Wuxiu casually tossed it toward Goku.
“Grandpa’s keepsake should stay with us.
Otherwise we’d need to search the entire world for it again later.” “Wow!
Thanks, Big Brother!” Goku happily stuffed the Dragon Ball safely into his clothes.
By now, the dark storm clouds had completely dispersed.
The moonlight returned.
The stars once again illuminated the night sky.
Only now did Bulma finally recover from her emotional shock.
Without caring about appearances anymore, she suddenly threw herself directly into Sun Wuxiu’s arms and hugged him tightly.
“Waaaaah!!” “Wuxiu, you idiot!!” “Why would you waste such an important wish on me?!” Sun Wuxiu gently patted her back while smiling softly.
“Because ruling the world doesn’t interest me very much.” His gaze became unusually gentle.
“But if, for the next several decades…
or even centuries…” “I can always have an eternally beautiful Bulma beside me…” “That sounds far more interesting.” For sixteen-year-old Bulma, the destructive power of those words was practically catastrophic.
Her entire face buried directly into Sun Wuxiu’s chest while tears continued falling.
Yet at the same time…
Her heart felt sweeter than honey.
At that moment, Bulma silently swore to herself.
In this lifetime…
She would never marry anyone except this man.
The following morning.
The Dragon Ball adventure had ended.
And naturally, it was time for everyone to part ways.
Out in the wilderness, the group began organizing their belongings.
“So, what are everyone’s plans next?” Sun Wuxiu casually asked.
Son Goku immediately jumped onto the Flying Nimbus while carrying the Power Pole across his back.
His face looked full of excitement.
“I’m going to find that old grandpa named Master Roshi and train with him!” Goku grinned brightly.
“Big Brother, you said only strong people can participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament, right?” “That’s right.” Sun Wuxiu nodded calmly.
“The World Martial Arts Tournament is the best stage for testing the results of your training.” “Go ahead.” “And remember to say hello to Master Roshi for me.” “Got it!” Then Goku tilted his head curiously.
“What about you, Big Brother?” “Me?” Sun Wuxiu glanced sideways toward Bulma, who was currently organizing capsules nearby.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
“I already completed my training under Master Roshi.” “There isn’t much point returning to Kame House immediately.” “So for now…” “I’ll accompany Bulma back to West City for a while.” “Huh?” Goku blinked in confusion.
“You’re going to Bulma’s house?” “Then won’t you stop training, Big Brother?” “Of course not.” Sun Wuxiu’s gaze gradually deepened.
“It’s just that my path of cultivation is slightly different from yours.” This was not merely an excuse to accompany Bulma.
Over the past four years, he had already completed the most orthodox and grueling foundational martial arts training possible under Master Roshi.
His base had become incredibly solid.
However, Sun Wuxiu also understood something extremely important.
Especially for Saiyans…
True power, particularly the legendary Super Saiyan transformation, could never be obtained solely through brutal physical training.
In the Dragon Ball knowledge from his previous life, there existed a very important concept.
S-Cells.
The Super Saiyan transformation was essentially a mutation triggered once a Saiyan accumulated enough S-Cells and experienced intense emotional stimulation.
And the growth of S-Cells mainly depended on two conditions.
First…
A peaceful and stable heart.
Second…
A sufficiently powerful base combat level.
