Capítulo 1677: Chapter 1669: Still Had to Say It
“Young Master Su, since we’ve reached an agreent, you should board the Blood Pupil Vessel,” Ning Siyue said with a smile.
Although she was smiling, because of the totem patterns covering her face, it was hard to tell what her smile looked like. All that could be heard was a laughter filled with a light and enchanting tone.
Su Chen nodded.
He didn’t refuse.
After all, since they had reached an agreent, he would definitely go with Ning Siyue to the place where the Sea Spirit Tree grows.
Moreover, the speed of the Blood Pupil Vessel was clearly several tis that of Yulong Firm’s great ship. Taking the Blood Pupil Vessel, even going to the end of the Inhabited Domain, would save a lot of ti.
Afterwards, Su Chen and Ning Siyue returned to Miss Xuan, Jin Chi, and the others.
“Miss Xuan, Jin Chi, having known each other briefly, I wish you a safe journey. But now, we must part. I will take the Blood Pupil Vessel to the Inhabited Domain,” Su Chen said with a smile.
Jin Chi hesitated to speak, feeling regretful. Su Chen, such an extraordinary talent surpassing the Demon God level, would have been good to interact with more. At the very least, interacting with him would be a topic of conversation and broaden one’s experience.
Under Miss Xuan’s veil, there was a tinge of gloom on her beautiful face. She bit her lip in silence.
She wasn’t the kind of shallow person to fall in love or develop a fondness after only two days of knowing soone and exchanging a few words. She didn’t.
But she had to admit, she was curious about Su Chen and wanted to understand him. Unfortunately, it seed there would be no opportunity.
A thought crossed Miss Xuan’s mind, the idea of asking to accompany Su Chen on the Blood Pupil Vessel. It was a whimsical notion, but as soon as it appeared, she dismissed it.
She was self-aware.
Did Su Chen consider her a re passerby? Thinking back, along the way, Su Chen had almost ignored her. Even when he saved her, it was with just a word. His feeling toward her was no different than his feelings towards Jin Chi, Huang Teng, and others, right?
Originally, they were from different worlds.
“Young Master Su, my na is Nan Tingxuan. If fate allows, we shall et again.” Taking a deep breath, Miss Xuan raised her head. Her beautiful eyes under the veil fixed on Su Chen as she spoke earnestly.
Having said that, she turned and entered the room in the middle of the ship.
Su Chen glanced at Miss Xuan’s retreating back, without much emotional fluctuation, simply thinking that the na Nan Tingxuan sounded quite pleasant!!!
“Young Master Su, shall we go then? Haha, you’re quite the romantic, aren’t you?” Ning Siyue chuckled, her tone charming and teasing.
Su Chen chuckled silently, withdrawing his gaze, and followed Ning Siyue aboard the Blood Pupil Vessel.
Woo woo woo…
The Blood Pupil Vessel moved!
The colossal behemoth in motion, as waves rolled mightily, the visual impact was astounding. With a thunderous roar, the dark massive hull of the Blood Pupil Vessel swiftly vanished.
On the great ship of Yulong Firm, Miss Xuan, who had entered the room, sohow found herself back on the deck, staring at the gradually departing Blood Pupil Vessel. Her emotions were clearly in turmoil.
“Though the ti we had was brief, you’re the first man to stir my curiosity, the first to make want to understand more about you. You’re also the first man to ignore . We will definitely et again. And when we do, at least you will no longer see as a re passerby. At least you’ll seriously look at . At least you’ll be interested in the face beneath my veil,” Nan Tingxuan murmured to herself.
Her nature was gentle and kind.
Yet, beneath the surface, there was another side, one of pride.
Su Chen’s complete disregard was hard to bear, and she couldn’t deceive herself. There was a sense of loss deep in her heart.
For the first ti, she felt a strong desire for strength and a determination to pursue martial arts cultivation. Sothing she never had before.
———-
The sea breeze blew gently.
The speed of the Blood Pupil Vessel was incredibly fast, yet the entire ship was covered with formations. They weren’t advanced formations, but they managed to block the gusts from the rapid speed. Thus, the sea breeze brushed over, offering a comforting scenery against the cheek.
Su Chen stood on the deck of the Blood Pupil Vessel, gazing afar. The vessel was incredibly tall, reaching heights of over a thousand ters. One look, and it felt like he could see the world’s edge.
“How much longer until we reach the Sea Spirit Tree?” Su Chen asked.
“About half a day, I suppose,” Ning Siyue replied while transmitting a sound to the Great Ship Martial Leader of the Blood Pupil Vessel, instructing him on the direction to steer. She stood beside Su Chen, chatting with him.
Still, despite sharing the sa sea breeze, she didn’t appear to enjoy the scenery. Instead, she seed sowhat uneasy.
“Are you worried?” Su Chen asked, sensing Ning Siyue’s emotions.
“I…” Ning Siyue bit her lip slightly and nodded, “Young Master Su, this trip is a matter of life and death.”
She hesitated to utter the words ‘life and death’ out of fear it might frighten Su Chen, causing him to back out of the deal and refuse to accompany her in the quest for the Sea Spirit Fruit.
Yet, she chose to speak the truth. After all, buried deep in an otherwise cold, ruthless heart, there were still principles she adhered to.
She didn’t want to deceive.
“Young Master Su, to be honest, this mission is bound to be life-threatening. If you regret it, there’s still a chance to back out,” Ning Siyue said, her expression sowhat peculiar. When did she beco so sentintal?
Perhaps it was because, deep down, she admired Su Chen.
Su Chen was ultimately one of the most extraordinary beings she had ever encountered, especially considering his youthful age of less than a hundred years. How fascinating was that?
It could be that this admiration and amazent made her feel sentintal.
However, the ‘life-threatening’ descriptor, which Ning Siyue hesitated over for a long while before uttering, seemingly had no effect. At least, upon hearing those words, there was no change in Su Chen’s expression. His gaze remained distant, staring into the horizon, quietly standing at the forefront of the deck, appreciating the scenery, and the faint smile never wavered.
Only several breaths later did Su Chen turn to look at Ning Siyue beside him: “Since you know it’s a matter of life and death, why do you still want to go?”
“My master gave a second life.” In Ning Siyue’s deep violet eyes, a chilling glint flashed, “I want revenge for her!”
“Your master is no longer alive?”
“No, my master is still alive, but she might as well be dead. She’s been crippled, her dantian destroyed, her ridians severed. For a martial cultivator, it’s a fate worse than death.” Ning Siyue said solemnly, “But my master’s state of mind remains strong. She’s alive, resiliently surviving, sustained by heavenly and earthly treasures, and sotis still shares the knowledge she gained in her early years. The one who crippled my master is the third son of the Island Master of Flying Cloud Island, Du Yiqi. Flying Cloud Island is a Sea God Level Power, and although it’s not among the top in the dozens of Sea God Level Powers, it cannot be matched with Blood Pupil Island, let alone by . Every ti I return from the sea, my master tells to give up on revenge. But I swore I would avenge her. And my only chance for revenge is the Sea Spirit Fruit.”
