Mahayana Island, at the edge of the island.
Hualala!
Waves covered in white foam surged forward and fiercely slammed into the reefs on the shore. Immediately, water vapor surged up and a salty sea breeze blew past.
On a huge reef at the edge, a tall and sturdy figure stood proudly. This person had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. Between his brows, there was a domineering aura akin to a longsword.
Gazing at the endless coastline, Ji Chengyu took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
A rustling sound came from behind him. Zhao Ruge was wearing a long white robe. As the sea breeze blew past, the hem of his robe was constantly fluttering and his hair was also somewhat disheveled in the wind.
Zhao Ruge did not like islands. The wind on islands was too strong and always hurt when it slapped on one's face. In addition, there was an unpleasant smell of seawater. The imperial city was better, prosperous and noisy.
"Congratulations on recovering your cultivation level, King Yu." Zhao Ruge smiled and cupped his hands toward King Yu. A handsome smile bloomed on his face.
Ji Chengyu slowly turned around and looked at Zhao Ruge with a gaze that was like lightning.
"Why did you and your son go through so much trouble to help me?" Ji Chengyu had always been puzzled. Zhao Musheng was an elder of the Mahayana Island. In his impression, even though the Mahayana Island was powerful, when facing the Light Wind Empire … they were powerless.
However, when he actually stepped onto the Mahayana Island, he finally understood how terrifying this power was.
"I don't know about that. I was just following my father's instructions. Besides … we helped King Yu become the ruler of the Light Wind Empire, so King Yu rewarded us. Isn't that just nice? We each get what we need. "Zhao Ruge faced the sea with a smile on his face.
The Mahayana Island was not small. It was rich in spirit energy, mountains, and rivers. The scenery was quite beautiful.
"King Yu, since your cultivation level has recovered, it's about time to return to the continent … We've already helped you prepare the situation on the continent. The rest is up to you. Of course … if you need any help, feel free to look for us on the Mahayana Island. We'll help you as much as we can."
Back to the continent? Ji Chengyu's eyes flickered with a vague light. The corners of his mouth suddenly widened. Yes... it's time to go back!
"By the way, King Yu, I have another piece of news for you. The eunuch guarding the imperial mausoleum seems to be very angry about your escape. He has already personally taken action to capture you and bring you back... You might run into him as soon as you return to the continent. Let me give King Yu a heads up first," Zhao Ruge said as he looked at Ji Chengyu playfully.
Lian Fu … Yeah, he was a seventh grade Battle-Saint after all. However … he suddenly wanted to experience the strength of a Battle-Saint.
Ji Chengyu's expression froze as he looked at the boundless ocean.
…
The outskirts of Southern City quietened down.
The sudden silence made many people take a deep breath. The citizens in the city patted their chests as a relieved smile appeared on their faces.
Chang Shan, who was on the city wall, slumped to the ground. Unlike the cheering crowd below, his heart was heavy.
Looking down from the city wall, he could see the huge shadow within the Dragon River. That shadow was emitting a huge pressure that made it difficult for him to even breathe … A seventh grade spirit beast was indeed too terrifying!
"Damn it... How did such a huge beast get in here?" Chang Shan punched the stone wall. He did not use any true energy, but he immediately felt a wave of pain.
He recognized this spirit beast. It was a seventh grade Burst-Dragon Demonic Fish, a frightening spirit beast in the Endless Sea. It was extremely destructive and had a vicious nature. It was impossible for this kind of spirit beast to appear in the Dragon River.
Holding onto the wall, Chang Shan slowly left the city wall. He led the guards toward the City Lord's Mansion. He had to inform the City Lord of Southern City of this matter.
Currently, the Burst-Dragon Demonic Fish had calmed down. However, no one knew when this beast would cause trouble again. Moreover, because the Dragon River surrounded Southern City, the few city gates of Southern City had to be sealed. This meant that Southern City might be cut off from the rest of the world...
This could not be considered as good news.
The Xiao Mansion was located in the most flourishing area of Southern City. It was not far from the City Lord's Mansion. The Xiao Mansion's status in Southern City was not low. It was one of the few great financial magnates. Perhaps its background was a little lacking, but with Xiao Meng's name, the financial magnates of Southern City had to give the Xiao Family some face.
"Yanyu, are you really going to bring this kid into the Xiao Family? The old man will be angry. " Xiao Kecheng, who was walking in front, shot a glance at Bu Fang, who was walking leisurely behind him. A hint of disgust flashed through his eyes. In his opinion, this kid with a puppet was definitely sticking to Xiao Yanyu in order to curry favor with the Xiao Family.
"Third Uncle, I respect you as an elder, so I address you as Third Uncle. Owner Bu is my friend. Can't I invite him to be a guest of the Xiao Family? If you continue to ask these meaningless questions, don't blame me for falling out with you. "Xiao Yanyu looked at Xiao Kecheng seriously and coldly said.
Xiao Kecheng's heart trembled. He was filled with hatred. He did not understand why Xiao Yanyu was protecting this kid.
"Alright! I will send someone to arrange a room for this kid. The old man is waiting for you in the loft. Hurry up and go. "Xiao Kecheng's expression eased up a little as he said.
The group of people stepped into the Xiao Mansion. The difference between the Xiao Family of the Southern City and the Xiao Family of the Imperial City hit them in the face. The Xiao Family of the Southern City had taken root in the Southern City. Although their background was not comparable to that of the established forces, they still had a few generations of reserves. They could not be underestimated.
The simple and unadorned garden occupied a vast area. After walking around for a while, an ordinary person might really get lost.
Xiao Yanyu apologized to Bu Fang and followed the others toward the loft of the Xiao Family.
She had already arranged for someone to prepare a place for Bu Fang to stay.
Xiao Kecheng coldly looked at Bu Fang, waved his hand, and turned around to leave.
Everyone dispersed, leaving only Xiao Yanyu's maid, Xiao Ya, by Bu Fang's side.
"Young master Bu, this way please," Xiao Ya coldly said. She shot a glance at Bu Fang and took the lead.
Bu Fang did not care about the Xiao Family's attitude toward him. He sized up the aged garden and slightly nodded his head. Pavilions, waterside pavilions, fish ponds, and flowers... the scenery was indeed not bad.
Initially, Bu Fang was not very interested in coming to the Xiao Family. However, Xiao Yanyu told him that if he wanted to eat the authentic Pan-Fried Pork Bun, he must come to the Xiao Family.
Bu Fang also remembered that Aunt Liu from the Spring Fragrance Brothel seemed to have mentioned that the "Bun Beauty", Miss Lin, had married into the Xiao Family and became the daughter-in-law of the second son of the Xiao Family. If he wanted to eat the authentic Pan-Fried Pork Bun, he must come to the Xiao Family.
Therefore, Bu Fang did not reject Xiao Yanyu's invitation. His purpose in coming to the Southern City was to look for delicious food. Since the authentic Pan-Fried Pork Bun was in the Xiao Family, he naturally would not let it go.
The maid, Xiao Ya, was rather tall and slender. Although she still looked a little young and inexperienced, she led the way and did not pay attention to Bu Fang's situation behind her.
Bu Fang, on the other hand, followed at a leisurely pace while admiring the beautiful scenery of the Xiao Family's garden.
The Xiao Family had a large population. Along the way, busy servants could be seen everywhere, as well as the younger generation of the Xiao Family playing and playing in the garden. There were also noblewomen waving paper fans and taking a slow stroll.
This was a true big family. Compared to them, the Xiao Family of the imperial city was still lacking in heritage and charm.
Bu Fang was really enjoying the scenery around him with great interest. Along the way, many people were looking at him curiously, or rather, at the puppet Xiao Bai behind him. However, Bu Fang did not care about them at all.
He was a person who did not care about the opinions of others.
"Young master Bu … This way, walk faster."
Suddenly, Xiao Ya's impatient voice reached his ears. Bu Fang froze for a moment, then slowly walked forward.
Xiao Ya was a little annoyed. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xiao Kecheng did not like Bu Fang. As a maid of the Xiao Family, Xiao Ya certainly had a discerning eye, so she was not very enthusiastic about entertaining Bu Fang. However, Bu Fang just had to take his time, which made her a little impatient.
Bu Fang looked at the maid in astonishment, but his expression was indifferent.
Xiao Ya glanced at Bu Fang, took him around a few small paths, and arrived at a house.
"The second room from the left is yours. Someone has already prepared the bedding for you. When it's time to eat, someone will send food over. Don't wander around. If you provoke some of the young masters of the Xiao Family, you will suffer," Xiao Ya reminded him.
After speaking, without waiting for Bu Fang to reply, she turned around and left in a hurry.
Bu Fang looked at the back of the maid as she left, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He looked around. This was the worst place he had found on his way here. The light was dim, and the ground was slightly damp.
It seemed like he was really not well received in the Xiao Family.
Bu Fang thought indifferently, but he did not care. He turned around and walked toward the room that Xiao Ya mentioned.
He pushed open the door. The room was very dark, but the smell was good. At least there was no musty smell that made people frown.
Lighting up the oil lamp in the room, Bu Fang sized up the simple surroundings. He raised his eyebrows. The bedding on the bed was a little damp, and it was a little cold to the touch.
Putting down the oil lamp, Bu Fang clasped his hands behind his back and left the room. Although he did not care about what others thought of him, staying in a room like this … he really did not have a good temper.
As for Xiao Ya's warning not to wander around, Bu Fang chuckled and directly walked out of the courtyard.
Xiao Bai followed closely behind Bu Fang, and his mechanical eyes twinkled.
After taking a few steps, Bu Fang suddenly heard the whistling sound of wind. He immediately furrowed his brows.
He raised his hand, and with a casual pat, he slapped away a stone that was hurtling toward him.
"Oh ho! He still has some tricks up his sleeve. It seems like this country bumpkin is also a martial artist! "
A burst of laughter rang out. In the distance, a large group of people came over, surrounding Bu Fang and Xiao Bai.
Bu Fang frowned, and he was a little displeased.
The leader was a young man wearing a brocade robe and a jade crown. The young man's face was full of arrogance and domineering. He looked at Bu Fang with eyes full of disdain.
He had seen many country bumpkins like Bu Fang, who entered the Xiao Family for the first time. Every country bumpkin had the same curious expression as Bu Fang.
He was interested in the puppet behind Bu Fang. It was his first time seeing a puppet, so he was a little curious and excited.
"You... name a price. This young master will buy this lump of iron puppet!" The youth opened the paper fan in his hand with a whoosh, then waved it and said to Bu Fang in an extravagant manner.
Bu Fang was stunned. A tycoon … Oh my god, this kid actually wanted to buy Xiao Bai?
