The long sea journey was like a boundless dream.
When he woke up, the silhouette of the Nine Regions was already in sight.
Standing on the side of the ship, Wang Lu felt that the half a month of crossing the endless sea seemed long, but it seemed to pass in the blink of an eye, which made his heart somewhat reluctant.
Of course, if he really had to drift on the sea for another half a month, that would be unbearable.
The condition of the ship was impeccable. It had the best hull design, the most exquisite decoration, the cabin was filled with Western Continent luxury goods, more than twenty charming and affectionate maids, and the rest of the gold, silver, and jewelry. Such extravagant treatment could not be enjoyed by the king of a country in the Western Continent. Wang Lu really enjoyed the treatment of a hero in the eastern city-states.
It was unbearable. The food on the ship was too miserable, and no matter how he thought about it, this was a Western Continent monster … It was not the Ghost Chef Aya's fault. She confidently said that she would cook during the voyage. However, after the first day's roast chicken, Aya had no other dishes — in fact, she only learned that one dish, and after the mead was used up, she couldn't make a second roast chicken. It was purely because after Aya succeeded in making roast chicken, she thought that she had comprehended the essence of cooking, and that she was overconfident. However, when Wang Lu didn't check, the next day, he saw the Look Up at the Starry Sky Improved I, Look Up at the Starry Sky Improved II, and other unknown substances, which was simply an eye-opener. Wang Lu repeatedly praised that Aya should not be a knight, but a national alchemist. If she was given a kitchen and enough ingredients, sooner or later, she would be able to synthesize the philosopher's stone.
In this regard, Aya was deeply frustrated, but how could she be dispirited by this little setback? On the contrary, she was inspired and courageously moved forward. For Wang Lu, on the third day, the situation became more and more serious. After several failed attempts, Aya simply began to use trial and error to find the feeling of cooking. After wasting half of the stored ingredients in the cabin, her alchemy improved once again, and she was only a few steps away from mastering the human body. Unable to bear it any longer, Wang Lu used his chopsticks to draw a three-inch sword defense, isolating the dozens of unknown substances that Aya served, and angrily rebuked, "Aya, if you have the ability, have a taste and see what the hell is this? Your ingredients are not precise, your seasoning is immoral, your control of the fire is not good, and you have no strength in turning the ladle! If you don't have any skills, do you think you're worthy of wasting the best ingredients on the ship? You must be daydreaming! "
Aya was indifferent and did not speak, but the determination in her eyes did not retreat.
Therefore, Wang Lu's tragedy could only continue. It stood to reason that in this kind of situation, the worst that could happen was to replace someone else. The twenty maids on the ship were not only charming and affectionate, but also good at cooking. Any one of them, even if they closed their eyes to cook, would be ten thousand times more reliable than Aya. However, Wang Lu could not be replaced.
Because Aya's return to Nine Regions was basically proposed by him. And for Aya, she gave up her Knight King identity and the Sword in the Stone to accompany Wang Lu back. For a woman to do this for you, what was the big deal about eating a few of her Great Sage Stones?
Fortunately, Wang Lu finally found a way to survive. Because even if Aya had a thousand faults, at least there was one thing that was reliable: her knife skill was absolutely at the grandmaster level. Of course, this was also nonsense. How could a legendary level swordsman's skill in wielding a knife and wielding a spear be bad? Therefore, Wang Lu simply changed the recipe to Sashimi Feast. In addition to all kinds of fresh fish sashimi, other ingredients on the ship could also be made into sashimi, such as ham sashimi, sausage sashimi, pumpkin sashimi, broccoli sashimi, and bread sashimi, which gave Wang Lu a way to survive.
However, the days of eating sashimi every day were really bitter for Wang Lu, so when he saw the land, the silhouette of Nine Regions was like a pot of fragrant streaky pork. Even if there was a small problem with the route, which deviated from the proper direction and didn't see the harbor, Wang Lu was still full of joy. In any case, for someone like him who was close to King Pill, it was not so important whether there was a harbor or not.
As the ship continued to approach, Wang Lu seemed to smell the aroma of meat. Moreover, it was roasted dog meat with just the right amount of heat! A moment later, Wang Lu, who was standing on the side of the ship, was taken aback. Because he had already seen that on the beach, there was a plainly dressed woman who was boldly fiddling with a pot. Inside the pot, large pieces of meat were bubbling with a tempting aroma. It was a pot of braised dog meat. And that woman was impressively...
"Zen Master Gourou, Xiao Qi!?"
Although he whispered to himself, Xiao Qi, who was several miles away, looked up and smiled at him. "I've been waiting for you for a long time. You're finally here."
With that, her figure moved, and together with the pot, she boarded the ship. Her speed was so fast that it made people click their tongues.
"Although you're not early, you've come at the right time. I've been waiting for you on this beach for half a month. I just caught a Black Dog and cooked it, and then you came. Since you're here, let's eat together. After eating, we'll go back together. Your master is going crazy waiting for you. "
As Xiao Qi spoke, she put the pot on the deck. Behind her, her hand took out a pile of bowls, plates, and chopsticks from her mustard seed bag. Other than giving a set to Wang Lu, she also handed them to Aya, who was standing silently behind Wang Lu.
"Aya? I've heard of you for a long time. This is the first time we've met. Do you want to try my cooking? "
Aya was stunned for a moment. She frowned and actually waved her hand to refuse.
With Aya's temperament, she rarely behaved noble and elegant. In Wang Lu's view, this refusal was purely because they were in the same trade. Compared to her alchemical products, this pot of dog meat was enough to subvert her worldview and explode her obviously distorted cognitive world.
Xiao Qi didn't care. He picked up his own bowl and chopsticks and began to eat the meat. While eating, he said to Wang Lu, "In view of the fact that the two of us snatch the food a bit fast, I'll make it short. Previously in the Western Continent, you asked for an indefinite length of marriage leave. Your sect's Elders sympathized with your hard work in the Western Continent, so they allowed it. However, as you can guess, after this trip to the Western Continent, things will pile up like a mountain. Moreover, your role in the Western Continent is by no means dispensable. Therefore, there are a lot of things that you need to participate in. If you drag it for ten days or half a month, that's fine. But if you drag it for a month, the people in Nine Regions will inevitably become impatient. Right now, there are a lot of people waiting for you at the place where your ship may dock. You're lucky to meet me, so we can eat a pot of dog meat. "
Xiao Qi said, put away the pot that he and Wang Lu had already divided, stood up and said, "Then let's get ready to go. I'm afraid it's about time."
Wang Lu curiously asked, "What about time? Moreover, what about my ship? "
"Don't worry, you won't be lost. Later, the Wanxian League will send someone to help you put it away. In short, you just need to come with me." While speaking, Xiao Qi has already buckled Wang Lu's wrist. However, at the same time, her wrist was also buckled by Aya.
Seeing Aya's serious face, Wang Lu was afraid that she misunderstood something, so he explained, "This is my Master's friend. I don't have an affair with her."
Inwardly, she thought, 'Even if I have an affair with Xiao Qi, you don't have to watch over me like this, right? Aren't you, this Ghost Chef, a bit too broad? '
However, Aya ignored him. Her eyes kept wandering around Xiao Qi's body, and she became more and more suspicious. "You … Could it be that you are …?"
Before she could finish, Xiao Qi has already said, "This poor monk is Dog Meat. This is the first time we meet. See you later."
With that, her figure moved and disappeared without a trace, bringing Wang Lu along with her. Aya was slightly stunned. Although with her strength, she could completely stop them, she didn't do so.
After a while, Aya couldn't help but laugh. "So that's how it is, it's you …"
—
At the same time, Wang Lu only felt a blur in front of him. He didn't know how far he had been dragged by Zen Master Gourou to a noisy place. When he looked around, he was immediately surprised.
"What is this place? Why are there so many people? "
A large number of people wasn't scary. What was scary was that almost all of them were famous people, not common people!
The Great Elder of Kunlun Sect, the Ten Thousand Arts Sect's Abbot, the Shengjing Sect's Inspector … Any one of them had a resounding reputation, similar to the Spirit Sword Sect's Heavenly Sword Hall Elder. And at this time, Wang Lu could see hundreds of them!
So many people, at this time, gathered on a wide grassland, which seemed to be crowded. And in the sky, there were five floating golden platforms, looking down from above, majestic.
After observing for a while, Wang Lu finally remembered this place and, incidentally, cleared up everything. "Southern Heaven Region? The group of immortal tombs? Are they going to f * cking open the immortal tombs? The opening ceremony is being held? That's why this place is a gathering of heroes? And then I, as the biggest hero of the western expedition, should speak on the stage? People can't find me, but they can't just postpone the opening ceremony because of a disciple who hasn't reached the level of King Pill, so many people are very anxious, right? "
Xiao Qi clapped his hands from the side and said with a smile, "Being with you saves me the effort to explain. Now that you know, then you …"
Before his voice fell, an elder suddenly appeared in front of Wang Lu and grabbed his hand. "It's finally here. If not, your speech would've been taken by Shengjing Sect's disciple!"
Wang Lu was in a trance that he didn't even see the elder's face before he was grabbed by him. Fortunately, from the voice, he could still recognize that it was his Third Uncle, Fang He.
Being grabbed by Fang He, Wang Lu's vision blurred, and then he was already in mid-air. Clouds and mist curled up under his feet, and before his eyes, the bright golden platform had been transferred to the golden platform in the sky.
There were still a lot of people on the golden platform, and their weight was obviously higher than that of the Elders below the platform. Wang Lu's eyes swept across them, and his breathing paused for a moment.
The leaders of the five super sects of the Wanxian League were all here!
The leader of Lingjian School, Feng Yin, Shengjing Sect's He Tu, Ten Thousand Arts Sect's Tian Lun, Kunlun Sect's Zhuri … and Royal Soldier Sect's War God Kuqin.
Among them, Kuqin of Royal Soldier Sect was the most unfamiliar. He wore heavy armor and an airtight mask, which didn't reveal his true face. In fact, even his portrait was covered in a mask, which made him look very mysterious. In fact, since the fall of the previous leader of Royal Soldier Sect, Unparalleled God of War, this sect, which was scolded as a mad dog by many people, had been low-key for decades. Probably only the opening of the group of immortal tombs could lead them to appear.
When Wang Lu observed the crowd, he also became the focus of everyone's attention. What he did in the Western Continent was known by all the high-level people present. Toward this mysterious lead disciple of Spirit Sword Sect, several Supremes of Unity Stage cast their attention on him. The invisible pressure brought by these invisible eyes was enough to shock the ordinary Daoist Master King Pill. However, Wang Lu didn't seem to be aware of it.
Because beside Wang Lu, the woman in white with a ponytail pressed her hand on the emerald green bamboo sword at her waist, sheltering her disciple from the wind and rain.
At the same time, the voice of Feng Yin Daoist Master sounded, "Okay, our lead disciple Wang Lu has arrived in time. Should the agenda be restored to the original and Wang Lu will make the third speech?"
As he spoke, his eyes looked directly at the Daoist in the middle of the golden platform, which was also the most important person here, Supreme He Tu. He Tu was silent for a moment, nodded his head, and then waved his hand toward the side of the golden platform. A woman who had been sitting cross-legged stood up and respectfully retreated.
That woman was a disciple of Shengjing Sect and the original speaker to replace Wang Lu. Although no one knew what she did in the Western Continent, for her to be qualified to replace Wang Lu's speech, it was obvious that she also had amazing achievements. Unfortunately, her shining opportunity was robbed by Wang Lu, just like a bride who was humiliated and miserable.
However, the woman's eyebrows were indifferent. When she got up, she looked back and smiled, like a spring breeze.
"That's Qiong Hua." Wang Wu timely introduced, "The lead disciple of Shengjing Sect."
